Chapter 397 Achieving Multiple Goals with One Stone (3 Updates)

That night, in the Lord's Mansion.

In the spacious reception hall, Matthew sat at the top, the people from the Bay Lord sat on the right, and the people from the church sat on the left.

Everyone's table was filled with food.

The richness made Mira feel quite stressed.

She wanted to eat it all, but she didn't dare.

It would be a waste to try it all.

Just when she felt quite entangled, the greedy Yaya crawled over and whispered in her ear:

"Ah! Why don't you eat? Don't feel embarrassed, I'll take the rest."

Mira was skeptical at first, but when she saw Yaya gnawed off two chicken legs in no time and reached out for the shiny pig's trotter, she suddenly woke up:

"Don't eat so fast, leave some for me."

Soon, the two foodies fought for a piece.

Mira's weight loss plan failed before it even started.

Feeling the faint threat from Yaya, Sun Sheng next to her had guessed her identity, and his doubts became deeper.

"What is the purpose of the goddess sending us here?"

"Is it really just to make Mira grow up more easily?"

Thinking over it, Sun Sheng couldn't think it through.

Everyone had a great time at the welcome banquet.

An hour later, the banquet ended.

Everyone in the Bay returned to their respective jobs, but they were actually thinking silently in their hearts.

Did the Lord solemnly welcome the people of the church to remind everyone?

Mira, who was full and satisfied, blushed slightly. Looking at Yaya who was patting her belly next to her, she resisted the imitation action.

Be a lady!

Matthew made a gesture of invitation, and his expression was quite relaxed. It seemed that he was not vigilant or defensive because Sun Sheng was a high-level paladin.

"Please sit down. Is the food in the Bay suitable for your appetite?"

"Very good, more delicious than the food I cook at home."

Sun Sheng nodded with satisfaction, but he was actually observing the layout of the study in secret.

He wanted to see some clues from it and guess what kind of person Matthew was.

However, there was nothing to gain, just a simple and ordinary arcane arrangement.

Seeing Sun Sheng who was calm, Matthew did not continue to play dumb with him, and came straight to the point:

"I invited the Magic Goddess Church to enter the Gulf Territory, in fact, I have several unavoidable requests and need the help of the church."

Here it comes!

The dagger is revealed!

Sun Sheng showed a little embarrassment on the surface, but he was actually secretly alert, repeatedly reminding his heart not to agree to some promises that violate the doctrine just for a delicious meal.

Just as Sun Sheng listened attentively, Matthew sighed and said softly with some helplessness:

"Don't look at our Gulf Territory's rapid development, but in fact there are several major shortcomings, one of the most serious is the population problem!"

Population problem?

Sun Sheng was stunned for a moment, what kind of problem is this?

He had never heard of any lord who complained about his small population.

Don't they all complain that their population is too large?

Aren't there enough land to share?

Before Sun Sheng could figure it out, Matthew continued:

"If possible, I hope the church can help us absorb some refugees to fill the shortage of population in the territory."

"In addition, as long as the refugees meet the conditions, they can officially join the Bay Territory after working for a few months and undergoing inspection."

"They will get a house of their own, and those who participate in the land reclamation will get their own land, although they cannot trade..."

"Children can all receive unified education, even if they don't have professional talents, they can learn knowledge and some skills."

"You can find a suitable job in various factories in the Bay Territory..."

Listening to Matthew's words, Sun Sheng, who was full of doubts, doubted whether the arcane lord was teasing him?

If there are really such good conditions, why recruit refugees?

Wouldn't it be possible to attract them by spreading the news directly to the surrounding territories?

However, Sun Sheng reacted quickly.

Matthew didn't need to lie about something that could be easily exposed.

But he still couldn't believe it!

Will life in the Bay Territory be so comfortable?

Or is there something fishy going on here?

Sun Sheng thought about it, looked at Matthew's burning eyes, and carefully chose his words to answer:

"In this case, we will first inspect the Bay Territory tomorrow. If it meets the conditions, we can send a notice to churches in various places..."

It must meet the conditions!

Sun Sheng told himself so!

Matthew's heart was already very happy. He didn't expect that the first step of asking the church to help him work would go so smoothly.

Population problem, solved!

With the church's help to endorse, the Bay Territory will not only not cause "jealousy", but also absorb a large number of people to meet the needs of more work.

Seeing that Sun Sheng was so easy to talk to, Matthew, who had been prepared, would naturally not let him go.

"The second problem is the education problem."

Education problem!

Sun Sheng's heart, which had just been put down, was immediately suspended again.

The church can not intervene in education, but it must not distort education.

"We want every child of school age in the Bay Territory to have a school and books to read."

"For basic educational knowledge, we can find enough teachers."

"Only for those students who have the talents of mages, priests, and paladins, we do not have such strong teaching staff."

"So, we hope that the church can help with teaching and training in this area."

"Of course, this will not make the church's efforts in vain. For every professional trained, the Gulf Territory will donate 10 gold coins to the goddess."

“Although it’s not as good as everyone’s efforts, I still want to express my gratitude and hope that the church people can help us with the territory.”

this……

"Do you think we have "taught" too little? Do you want us to "teach" more?"

Looking at Matthew's extremely sincere eyes, Sun Sheng nodded tentatively. After seeing the happy expression, he quickly added:

"It must be a student with the talent of a professional in this field..."

Matthew was immediately overjoyed and immediately said:

"That's for sure. There are more than 300 children in my ancestor's territory. Thank you to the church..."

For fear that the church would be worried that he would suffer a haemorrhage, which would cause difficulties in teaching and thus affect his intentions in this regard, Matthew quickly added:

"I hope the church can rest assured that all resources for nurturing children will be fully supported by the territory..."

Matthew hurriedly struck again while the iron was hot, and "entrusted" more arrangements to Sun Sheng's dazed expression.

"Adventurer's "Charity" Potion..."

"Adventurer's "Blood Sale" Magic Equipment..."

"Clean up possible cultists in the territory..."

"Help deal with the favored ones of the dangerous evil god..."

"..."

A large number of tasks were assigned to Sun Sheng by Matthew.

Looking at his back as he swayed away, Matthew showed a bright smile.

"Thanks to the church for coming to my door..."

Achieve multiple things with one stone!

Hahaha!
