Chapter 224: Population (II)
With the figures told by Priest Bryson, Aith was even more confident.
When she had come out of her glorious pyramid, she hurried to the pyramid of the goddess of agriculture, and when she came to the pyramid, she looked at the medium-sized pyramid.
Xiao Hongqin is naturally familiar with her, and she has become a god in this world without expecting it.
This trance made her stunned for a moment before she could get inside.
Becoming a fourth-order, she was very sensitive to holy power, and as soon as she entered, she felt a green holy power, but it was obvious that compared to Fang Xinlai, the quality was lower than that of the second order.
Fang Xin's holy power is pure and pure, and it carries the fragrance of grass dew, which makes people feel good when they feel it.
But this holy power, although it is full of vitality, always has a taste of impurities and decay.
However, this is what I'ai can clearly feel, and other mortals are basically impossible.
The internal building of the temple is naturally exquisite, above the hall, the floor is snow-white marble, on the vertically arranged columns on both sides of the hall, carved with various plant patterns, in the center is a spotless altar, on the altar there is the holy emblem of the goddess of agriculture, behind the altar, is the statue of Xiao Hongqin's maiden version.
A holy power emerged.
Looking at the idol in a daze, he heard someone around him coughing, and then it turned out to be a priest.
Iath immediately understood. Staring straight at the idol. It's a big faux pas. Hurriedly saluted.
"Priest of the Lord of Radiance. What is the matter with you coming to the Temple of the Goddess? β
"Pay homage to the goddess of agriculture. I would like to ask about the current agricultural land. Aisi said.
"Then please go to the side room and talk." The priest said.
Avery was supposed to be a beautiful girl. Ias's soul added a little more to her. Present. The two had a good conversation. Again. There aren't many secrets about this.
Therefore. An hour later. I's already knew.
Since at this time, iron tools had already appeared, and for 45 years, the shrine of the goddess of agriculture turned precious iron into agricultural tools, which made it possible to plough the land and plough the ox.
Deep ploughing can reduce weeds, reduce pests, and turn up the fertile ground underneath.
Moreover, there are also preliminary experiments and methods of rotational tillage.
When selecting corn seeds, we also pay attention to selecting full seeds, which will naturally become better and better from generation to generation.
Corn is drought tolerant, but it is also necessary to ensure a certain amount of moisture, so the water canal has appeared in long-term practice, and its important role has also been summarized in 45 years, and the problem of crop planting spacing has also been recognized.
As for the variety, in addition to corn, the clergy and devotees of the goddess of agriculture also discovered cotton, sweet potatoes, sunflowers, tomatoes, peppers, tobacco, cocoa, rubber, cinchona and other crops (they had their own names in that world, but there is no need to say more).
Of course, these crops, wild, have very low yields, and the priests of the goddess of agriculture do not care, but in the territory of the goddess of agriculture outside the city, try to grow some - not only these, but also some similar varieties, as long as the priests of the goddess of agriculture find something interesting and can be eaten, they will be artificially planted to see.
After hearing this, Yi Aisi was convinced, as long as these already existed and had been found, it would be fine.
Pushing them forward is not against the Dimensional Development Force, nor is it against Fang Xin's clear instructions.
After thanking her, she went to the area behind the temple to observe the planting, which was lush due to the power of the goddess.
When these were done, I had a meal, and I came out, and the time was just past noon.
The stone slabs of the streets are clean, and the sunlight falls on the ground, and it is strange to say that Anya's city also knows how to use underground waterways, which is a concept that many civilizations only have in the later period
As he walked, a voice came, "Oh, Avery, I didn't expect to see you here!" β
When she looked back, she saw a young man in a white robe, strong and tall, with a healthy brassy skin and a wide spacing.
"Oh, it's Faynand." This is a nobleman, and his family has a land of 120 sand, which can be regarded as a middle nobleman in the city.
Fernan approached, looked at her with a look of fascination, and said, "Avery, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more beautiful again." β
As he spoke, he stepped forward and saluted.
Yi Aisi returned the salute, and the two of them were side by side, and he was muttering some words of praise.
I have to admit that Avery's body is already very beautiful, with black hair, green eyes, skin like ivory, under the thin clothes, soft and towering breasts are clearly visible, a thin waist, and slender feet are faintly visible in the robe, not to mention the seductive power from the soul of Yisi.
As he listened, he just smiled, and finally saw the slave market from afar.
At this time, this Fernan stopped in confusion and asked, "Avery, is there more slaves in the family?" Want to sell point? β
"No, instead, I want to buy some slaves." Iace said.
Although he didn't say it, this young nobleman still had a puzzled look, after all, although a lot of work has been added now, for the nobles, slaves still exceed the needs, basically only sell, rarely buy.
Slave market, in the northwest corner of Tarsa City.
Several bronze statues stand around it, supposedly to be demigods newly recognized by the Lord of Light, mostly in human form, in half-human, half-beast form - their duty is to oversee slaves.
Slaves were free to buy and sell, but not to Gentiles, who sold them mostly for blood sacrifices.
This led to a repeated decline in the price of slaves in the market.
The slave market was not as filthy and cruel as the Ian thought had liked, nor was it filled with hateful gazes and incessant whippings, and the slaves just stood quietly and meekly waiting for their buyers.
But it was this numbness that made her emerge with an indescribable pain.
People living in the Overworld have always had a hard time accepting the fact that human beings are bought and sold as goods.
It's not that Yi Aisi doesn't know that this is a necessary stage in history, but the result of the fierce conflict with her worldview and outlook on life makes her still involuntarily feel pity, pain, and unbearable emotions.
"What's the matter, you don't seem to have a good face?"
"It's nothing, it's probably a long walk and I'm a little tired."
"Oh, it's been a long walk, you should come by car next time, or I'll give you one?" Fei Nan seized the opportunity to speak courteously.
"What do you want, this young lady, this noble lord?" A merchant stepped forward and said.
Behind, there were batches of slaves, and Iace turned his head to Fernan, saying, "I have a budget of 3 silver coins, can you help me buy some slaves?" It works for both men and women, and it works for those with families, but I'm not good at bargaining with merchants. β
In fact, it's not that she's not good at it, but she doesn't want to buy and sell humans as goods herself.
The aristocratic young man immediately agreed, but his doubts grew stronger and strongerβthe current situation of Avery's family, it would not be easy to come up with this money.
However, perhaps some instructions from the Church of the Lord of Light.
Because of this possibility, the young nobleman took her doubts to heart and carried out her orders.
It didn't take much time for 3 silver coins to buy a total of 380 slaves, which was indeed bought along with the family.
Iaus, who bought a slave and gave the address, was to leave.
At this moment, a shout made her look over.
"Behold, the most beautiful noble virgin, only fourteen years old, is said to be a descendant of the sun god of the Gentiles, and her father came to fight against our city, and was taken captive by us, and she is one of the ransoms, and behold, she is literate and reads hymnsβthe Lord of Light is above, and she must first forget these blasphemous hymns of the old gods!"
This girl, her whole body is **, her body is trembling, and there are tears in her eyes.
At this glance, when she met her tears, Yi Aisi's heart moved, and she couldn't breathe a little breath, she clenched her fists.
The people below were talking about how expensive this was, so she turned around and said to Fernan, "Fernan, would you like to lend me some money?" β
"What, you're going to buy this slave girl?" Fei Nan reacted immediately, he listened to the price, a little hesitant.
Seeing his expression, Yi Aisi snorted coldly, she took a deep breath, glanced at the bronze statue with great power, bit her lip, and was about to reflexively leave.
Fei Nan immediately became anxious and said, "It's nothing more than 3,000 coins, you wait, I'll buy it for you." β
He went forward to buy it, but in the end it cost 3,500 coins, which made him feel a little heartbroken.
Seeing this, Yi Aisi's expression eased up.
After buying a slave, there is a brand, a slave market, and there is a blacksmith nearby, and the blacksmith will put an iron collar on the slave and use a red-hot soldering iron to imprint the slave's forehead - if the slave is freed, the temple priest can erase the brand.
The soldering iron was printed on the slave's forehead, one by one, and the smell of burnt skin permeated the surroundings.
Seeing Feinan, he was a little puzzled, and Yi Aisi didn't explain.
Chinese merit has the saying of yin virtue, that is, if you do good deeds, you should not show them to the world.
After practice, Fang Xin also clearly issued a divine metaphor
This is what the Lord of Light says: "Do not do my ways and use my name, and do not appear before the world when you do good, so that it may be known to men, for in that case it will be difficult to receive my joy and reward." β
The reason for this is simple: if you deliberately make people aware of your good deeds, it turns into fame β fame itself is a reward, so merit is greatly reduced.
The merit of a good deed that is not known to others is about several times that of "the same good deed that is deliberately made known."
For Fang Xin, who is developing in the path of merit, it is natural to give such a divine parable, and as for the following believers' understanding of a noble quality that does not need to be reciprocated, that is, their understanding, Fang Xin will not explain it.
But as a special envoy, Yi Aisi has obtained some secrets of Fang Xin.
After all the slaves were branded, even the girls, Iaith went out.
Fei Nan couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What are you doing here?" β
"All that I do, everything I do is for the glory of the Lord of Light." Aisi said slyly.
This answer is in line with Fernan's conjecture, otherwise why would she buy these slaves? That's a lot, and since it's the church or God's order, he doesn't ask, "So where are you going now?" β
"Go to the palace, I want an application to reclaim new land." I'll say with a smile.
