Chapter 3 The Population of Sparta
Behind the strength of war, there is always a need for strong logistics and the prosperity of the entire territory to support.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Nosica, your beauty is unbearable."
is not ready to accept the touch from the palm of the hand, and a word for no reason, with a tendency to tease, which is not only playful, but also can sublimate ** in an instant.
Meet Aaron's eyes like electricity, or a look full of teasing. Nosica was slightly stunned, and a panicked heart seemed to jump out, and a layer of vivid red burned on her cheeks that were touched by the palm.
For a moment, Nosica's eyes lit up with surprise, but there were two lights of surprise and fear between them, trying to avoid Aaron's gaze.
It wasn't until long after Aaron had left the temple that she was still a little unsettled.
No one knew what was going on in Nosica's mind, and from the temple maid's point of view, she could only see her always reserved face, slightly moved.
When she was quiet, the pair of eyes made her face look holy, helpless, and bitter.
……
It is undeniable that ** is always very close, and it can always be so casual, and a casual word and a special look can be satisfied.
Thinking of the scene just now, Nosica's fair face turned pale and gradually turned red. Aaron hadn't been rippling in the heart of the earth for a long time, and there was a slight ripple. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and sighed softly, "It's a pity." ”
For the sake of Sparta's prosperity and long-term development, Nosica must remain pure and virgin.
In other words, "If Nosica loses her virginity, then she will no longer be a divine servant, and she will no longer have that alluring aura on her body." ”
Leaving the Temple of the God of War, Aaron thoughtfully revealed several forehead lines symbolizing wisdom on his forehead.
Smooth lines outline the contours of the cheeks, fair-skinned, handsome and slightly resolute. There was silence and peace in a pair of silver eyes, "A withered love can be obtained through power, but it is only a flower that has never really bloomed by absorbing the nutrients of nature." ”
"Not only love, but also wealth, these are just a branch of rights, and the connotation of rights is far greater than the first two."
Power equals everything.
Sometimes, love is nothing more than a haggard woman with two small children in tow on the street.
At least, that's what Aaron thinks so far.
……
Walking out of the Temple of the God of War and standing on the white steps, Aaron's eyes suddenly opened up, and he had a full view of the busy, noisy, and prosperous Sparta.
A large number of black laborers, gathered together, divided into several queues under the watchful eye of the overseer, and shuttled in different directions.
The neat buildings, the scaffolding, and the upgrading from a village to a town, will have a large number of buildings, which will need to be renovated and expanded on the original basis.
Calmly inspecting it, and returning to the palace of the Spartan king, which was being renovated, Aaron unfolded a hide and marked an overview of the Spartan plain.
On this more formal map, he marked the words 'Dead Sea Coast on the northern border', 'Splitting Mountain Waterfall on the eastern border', and 'Bloodstained Grand Canyon on the western border'.
After completing this, Aaron carefully studied for a while, raised the pen and carefully put the pen on the unfinished drawing, his wrist was flexibly bent, and the green tendons on the back of his hand became more and more obvious.
And at the end, the words 'wolf threat' are emphasized.
Sparta borders on all sides, a complete plain, and a wonderful Vishaw in a single wave. Aaron finally gave the map to the elders in charge of government affairs, and instructed, "Draw more copies of this map of Sparta." To Kratos, General Kurush, and the Elders. ”
In order to guard the borders of Sparta and prevent the invasion of wolves, Aaron felt that it was necessary for the Spartan warriors and subjects to raise some necessary precautions.
Sparta is currently in a period of great transition, with a large number of buildings to be built and renovated. It will become extremely important to prevent the invasion, harassment and destruction of the wolf clan.
Especially with the rapid increase of the population of Sparta, elevated aqueducts, sewers, houses, bathhouses, mills, kitchens and other supporting living facilities are more important affairs.
In general, governing a territory is sometimes not as simple as it seems.
Behind the strength of war, there is always a need for strong logistics and the prosperity of the entire territory to support.
……
Recall what Nosica said in the temple, "The 'Divine Trade' will be opened when the temple is expanded into a temple. ”
Coupled with the upcoming city defense construction during this period, Aaron could not spare his hands for the time being, and he did not have enough energy to take revenge on the wolf clan roaming on the southern border of Sparta.
"Now it seems...... I had to let this group of savage and lowly inferior creatures be active for a while. ”
The most exhausting thing is often not the distance of the journey, but the depression in the heart.
Aaron reached out and rubbed his brow, relieving the fatigue of his eyes. At this moment, there are still two people waiting next to his desk, which means that there are at least two more things waiting for him to deal with in person.
Uria, the architect, holds five or six drawings in one arm. He glanced at William beside him, and said first, "My king! Five thousand helots are already in place. If there are no problems with the design drawings, the construction of the city wall and tower defense will officially start today, and the construction period is expected to take three months. ”
Standing loose and straight without bending, Uria the architect has a confident expression on her face.
The excited smile on his face, as well as his tireless energy, couldn't help but make Aaron feel a little envious.
But after careful consideration, Aaron decided to make some changes to the previous plan. In Uria's sight, there seemed to be a bitter smile on Aaron's lips.
Seeing the corners of Aaron's mouth twitch, Uria immediately remained focused and waited for the king's order.
"Uria, as you probably know, the development of the territory and the construction of the city defense are all based on the population." Aaron paused, glanced at William, who was next to him with his eyes closed, and guessed his intentions in his heart, but continued to say, "If the population of Sparta swells rapidly in three months, reaching the size of a city. So we have just built an earthen wall, do we have to tear it down and rebuild it? ”
The freckles on Uria's face are peculiar, not irregularly distributed on both sides of the nose, but evenly distributed across half of the face.
The color and size are almost the same, and it looks like an architectural drawing.
The population of Sparta exceeded fifty thousand in three months, reaching the size of a city. …… This is something that Uria could not have imagined.
You must know that Sparta has experienced more than half a year of development, and its population is just over 10,000. And slaves accounted for more than half of them.
It is an indisputable fact that the demographic base of the citizens of Sparta could no longer afford more slaves.
"It is not advisable to raise the size of the population through captives and slaves. In case of a slave revolt......" Uria tried to persuade as he thought in his heart, but he thought that it was not within his purview.
So, under Aaron's gaze, Uria dutifully replied, "Yes, my king! ”
