Chapter 12: Azar, I, the hope of the entire church, send money

"From the look of your face, you seem to have come up with a solution," said Elhaisen.

Haroldt smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice, Senior."

Elhaisen: "Well, let's get back to the original topic. What are you worried about? Did you get some intelligence so you are on guard against the people in the Order, so you would rather take the risk of cooperating with the Gilded Brigade than seek help from the Sage."

"Senior, are you really that curious? Just curious?" Harold asked. He felt a little guilty. He couldn't say that his prejudice against the Order and the Great Sage came from his memories of his past life, right?

I want to find an excuse to fool people, but the person opposite me is El Haisen. Can I get through it so easily?

El Haisen: "You don't have to tell me. I don't have to ask you for the reason."

Harold: Really so considerate?

Brother Hai, are you really here specially to bring me warmth?

You are ooc!

Elhaisen: "Compared to your abnormality, I am more curious about the abnormality of the Council of the Church. In recent years, the funds allocated by the Council of the Church to the six major colleges have been decreasing, and scholars have also encountered various difficulties when applying for funds. The way of directly approving funds for scholars through the recommendation of sages from each college has almost become a dead end. The election of the Great Sage also skipped the recommendation of the six sages and was directly nominated by the last sage, and even skipped the grand inauguration ceremony...

There are many similar anomalies, but overall there hasn't been much power change in the House of the Decree. I think you should have noticed these things."

After listening to Elhaisen's statement, Harold pondered for a moment and asked, "So, Senior, you suspect that the Church of the Lords... is out of money?"

"This is a reasonable guess," Elhaisen did not deny. "Considering these anomalies and the average IQ of the top brass of the Order, it's not impossible. Or maybe they need to withhold the funds to do something else."

Harold: Wait, wait, that's a lot of information. Let me sort it out.

Brother Hai found out that I didn't trust the Church of God → Brother Hai came to my house to find me → Brother Hai asked me if I had discovered anything → Brother Hai suspected that the Church of God had no money

...It's not that you want to work in the Church of God after graduation but are worried that the Church of God will delay your salary, right?

...

...

Seems... reasonable?

After all, he got Hazard out of office in the game just because Hazard tried to disrupt his peaceful life.

From Elhaisen’s perspective, the main plot of the entire Xumi can even be summarized as: I, Elhaisen, want to live an ordinary life.

Well, the final conclusion: Elhaisen asked me to ask Azar for money to see if this old Biden can still drop gold coins, and by the way, see if the current Church Order Institute is suitable for recent graduates to work in.

If this guess is correct...

I can only say that you are worthy of it, BKing!

He deliberately encourages people to do such tasteless things and yet manages to maintain his status as an A from beginning to end.

As expected of you.

Or maybe there is no other special meaning behind Elhaisen's long speech.

Just as he said, all his actions were based on "curiosity". He was curious about his own abnormal behavior and the actions of the House of Lords. For the time being, he had no idea of ​​setting things right, nor did he deliberately give himself guidance. He just wanted to observe how everything developed as a bystander.

a little complicated.

Harold felt like his CPU was about to burn out, so he simply stopped trying to guess what Elhaisen was thinking. It would be useless even if he guessed right.

If he guesses correctly, can Brother Hai praise him and give him money?

He pondered for a moment and said, "So, Senior, are you curious about where the money went? Do you want me to test the Great Sage's opinion?"

Elhaisen: "I didn't originally intend to ask you to do this. You just need to follow your plan and find a way to deliver your proposal to the Great Sage. Of course, it has been a long time since anyone has been able to get funding and research materials directly from the Great Sage, but I think you might be able to give it a try."

After hearing this, Haroldt had a rough idea in his mind. Brother Hai just wanted to collect some data. Also, although he found problems within the House of the Decree, he had no reason to go after Azar now.

He is a rising star in the knowledge theory school, and he is Elhaisen. No one in the Ministry of Education may be unable to apply for research funds, but Elhaisen cannot fail to apply.

It has no impact on his life anyway, so why should he think of trouble? As it is now, collecting some information in the form of advice from a senior to a junior is a good choice. It will not cause trouble and can satisfy the curiosity of scholars.

"I will, I know I'm doing myself a favor," Harold said.

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and touched his coat pocket: "I bought some small things in Omos Port yesterday and prepared to give them to you, senior. Let me look for them... I might have put them in the bedroom. Senior, please wait a moment."

Harold hurried back to the bedroom and found the small boxes on the table where he had copied books last night.

Opening them one by one to check what was inside, he took in the things he bought for Kavi and El Haisen.

"This is for Senior Elhaisen, and this is for Senior Kavi," Harold handed both boxes to Elhaisen.

"What did you buy?" It was the first time that Elhaisen received a gift from his junior classmate, but he did not refuse it. He would not refuse gifts from others just because he did not want to return the gift, because he hated social interactions. He did not think there was any necessary connection between receiving gifts and returning gifts.

"As for the ring, you can open it and have a look, senior. It's quite rare in Xumi. There are words painted on the inner circle, which are called talismans in Liyue. It is said that it can open an elemental shield, but it is disposable, so I didn't try it. The price is not expensive, and it's quite beautiful. Even if I don't use it, I won't lose out - the emerald one is for senior Elhaisen, the red one is for senior Kavi, and I kept the blue one for myself," said Haroldt.

These were among the things he bought from the merchant last night. The merchant had three in total, and he bought them all. These rings were the only ones that made him feel that his money was not wasted. He didn't understand the words of spirits and talismans, but what if they were real? He kept one for himself, a sapphire one. It was a coincidence, the three-color rings just matched their hair color.

Elhaisen took the ring in his hand and glanced at the complicated words on the inner circle: "I like it very much, thank you, but you'd better give Kawi's gift to him in person. I think he will be happier to get his gift directly from you than from me."

makes sense.

Harold took back the box that Elhaisen handed back and carefully put it back into his pocket.

"Would you like some tea now, Senior?", Harold said.

"...it's not that hard to talk to you," said Elhaisen.

Of course, in comparison.

El Haisen: "If you are in a hurry to put your plan into practice and get rid of people, I can leave now."

"Don't people usually think that people ask if they want tea because they don't want to chase them away? And I really plan to wash some more fruit to treat the senior," said Harold.

But in the end, Elhaisen did not choose to stay for tea. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "The Palace of Wisdom is a place where I can read more quietly."

This was within Harold's expectations. He felt that if he were in his place, he would not stay at his home to drink tea and read after the others had gone out.

Shaking his head to put the matter of Elhaisen behind him, he began to draft a letter to Azar.

As the current supreme leader of Xumi, the Great Sage will not read every piece of junk information. The Xumi Order Institute does not have such a thing as a "Sage's Suggestion Box". If you want the Great Sage to see what you have written, you can only do so through other senior members of the Order Institute.

Fortunately, Harold has a cheap mentor in Xumi. Zacharias, as a lecturer at Amyrido College, has a good relationship with Nafis, the current sage of the Asana school, allowing him to take advantage of this loophole.

First of all, of course, he has to clearly write down his plan, his research cycle, and the phased goals that can be achieved in each cycle. In addition to his current research on artificially cultivating the nectar of the lily of the valley to extract nectar, there is of course the subsequent research on Dun Dun peach sugar making and date palm sugar making.

Harold wrote down the benefits that his research would bring to Xumi and the Institute of the Decree, the funds and materials he would need, the type and area of ​​land he would need, tools, etc.

After writing all this on seven pages, Harold also attached an additional page to write about his plan to grow rice in the desert.

This is one of the topics he plans to study after completing the above research. The climate of Xumi is not conducive to the growth of rice. The Xumi rainforest people mainly eat wraps (the wrapper is made of a mixture of flour, bean flour and potato flour) and barbecue on a daily basis, while the desert people mainly eat barbecue and dates.

Yes, it’s the date palm again. Apart from that, there are no other edible plants in the desert. As for barbecue, it’s mainly roasted scorpion and snake meat. It’s impossible to raise livestock in the desert. No one would think of using the limited oasis to raise a herd of cattle and sheep, right?

It's so miserable, how can the desert people be so miserable? Not only do they have nothing to eat, but they can't even study, because the Faith House has a monopoly on knowledge.

As a foreigner, he got the void terminal on the first day he arrived in Xumi City and used it on the same day. However, even if the desert people in his country got the void terminal by chance, the Church of God would not give them permission to use it.

It vividly illustrates what it means that the right of interpretation belongs to the House of Ecclesiastical Orders.

No wonder Kavi's father went to the desert without hesitation when he learned about the current situation of the desert people. The desert people are so miserable that no one with a conscience can bear to see it. People like Kavi's father who are too kind want to do something for the residents there to the best of their ability.

Harold just wanted to say one thing to the Council of Eminence: You really hate the desert people. They are in such a state. Not only do you not give them ten or twenty extra points for the exam in the Council of Eminence, you don't even give them books.

Since these people cannot study and cannot farm or raise pigs, they can only rob and rob. The desert has become the area with the most brutal people in Teyvat. This is how the security in Xumi has deteriorated.

The desert is also very confusing. Many people in the desert are fanatical believers of the Red King. They will burn, kill and loot under the banner of the Red King. Their slogan is that when the Red King is resurrected, he will make you damn rainforest people feel pain.

Let's not talk about whether the Red King can be resurrected, and whether he can stand on the side of the desert people after resurrection. The current situation in Teyvat is that the seven gods are in power. What do you rely on to support the eighth god? The desert where no one lives? Or do you expect the Red King to kill all the other seven gods?

You know what, there are people in the desert who really think this way.

This is the harm of not reading. If you read something, you will not have this kind of dream.

It would be more reliable for you to declare the desert an independent country and then find a way to bypass the Court of Ecclesiastes and trade with Liyue and Fontaine than to resurrect the Scarlet King.

However, the desert is now a mess, with each ethnic group doing their own thing and fighting each other for territory. Even Wanyan Aguda would say, "Why don't we reopen the city?" when he saw this situation.

I have strayed off topic again, so let’s get back to the issue of the staple food of the Xumi people. The climate of Xumi is not suitable for growing rice, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be grown. It’s just that the climate causes the rice to grow slowly, but the rice grown in this way is said to have a special taste.

There are areas in the desert where this kind of rice can be grown. In layman's terms, the climate type in some parts of the Xumi Desert belongs to the continental monsoon climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night and a long sunshine time. Rice can only be grown there once a year, and the rice grown there will be short, round and full, beige and white, and oily and smooth.

There must be facts behind what Harold said. He was a flower-growing family in his previous life. The residents of the Loess Plateau of the flower-growing family grew rice in a similar climate. The Loess Plateau also belongs to the continental monsoon climate type. The rice grown there is sold well throughout the country. As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, rice was grown there specifically for the royal family. The rice there was called "tribute rice."

Rice can also be grown in some desert areas with tropical desert climate types. In the previous life, in the desert area of ​​Arabia, which is the prototype area of ​​Xumi in the game, it was Mr. Yuan and Mr. Chen who cultivated high-yield "sea rice" that can grow in saline-alkali land. Later, they led the team to Arabia and solved the problem of water shortage through flood irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation. They successfully promoted sea rice and let the people in the desert eat rice.

In reality, the climate of the Sumeru Desert is much better than that of Arabia. Except for the lack of oil, it is better than Arabia in all other aspects. Whether it is growing "tribute rice" in the continental monsoon climate area or growing "sea rice" in the tropical desert climate area, it is theoretically feasible.

Moreover, as long as these two types of rice are successfully planted, the economic problems and food shortages of the desert people can be improved, and the desert people will no longer have to eat date palms every day.

However, the current great sage of the House of Lords would definitely not want to see the desert people have an easy life, so his plan is completely useless.

But Harold still wrote down the rice planting plan in the desert area in detail. He took this opportunity to tell Azar that he had no emotional intelligence and was completely insensitive to politics. He just wanted him to farm and didn't want to recruit him.

Any scholar in the Council of Fatima with a little insight should know what the Council of Fatima’s attitude is towards the desert people, and should also know that the Council of Fatima will never approve similar projects. Now, who in the Council of Fatima cares about the life and death of the desert people?

Harold just wanted to tell Azar that he wanted to be in charge. He was a naive person, but he had strong research ability and his research topics could make the lives of the residents of Xumi better.

So in addition to desert rice cultivation, Harold also attached a series of topics such as desert spice fruit cultivation, establishment of a desert pack animal breeding base, etc.

After a brief thought, Haroldt believed that these plans could be realized, but their feasibility and the economic benefits they could bring needed further verification. These things were added after sugar production and desert rice cultivation, which seemed to be a poor addition and seemed as if they were written temporarily to make up the word count.

This is also one of the effects Harold wanted.

After spending a day writing a pile of reports, Harold rubbed his sore wrists, put the stack of papers neatly together, and separated each report with paper clips.

The document on top is of course "Improving sugar production technology to reduce refined sugar prices and increase the happiness index of Xumi people". This is also the killer weapon he used to impress Azar and make that old Biden explode with gold coins. Then there are a series of documents about desert rice planting, desert spice fruit planting, desert pack animal breeding, etc.

After sorting it out, Haroldt carefully read it through again. Only after confirming that it was correct did he clip the stack of papers with satisfaction, put them into a paper bag and sealed it. Without even drinking a sip of tea, he took the things and left the Palace of Wisdom.

He was going to find his mentor, and he wanted Hazard to see what he had written as soon as possible.
