Chapter 232: Favor (I)
The bureau has been decided, and he is more calm, and Fang Xin issued a divine parable, asking the church to cooperate with the truth
God said, "Honor the King, know that he is the ruler of the earth, and that there shall be sacrifices, peacekeeping, blessings, baptisms, and atonements." But you need to know that you are not to take part in the strife among kings, but to take a few steps back and wait, unless the king is not a king. ”
With this parable, the church became more and more cooperative.
After the Battle of Bottel, the prestige of Vesey and Moore grew, and a series of wars were waged
In April of the seventy-eighth year of the glorious calendar, the war of the city of Creeli was launched and conquered
In March of the seventy-ninth year of the glorious calendar, he conquered Cook City
In August of the 80th year of the glorious calendar, the seven nearby city-states were terrified and united to conduct a campaign, 30,000 against 30,000, but as a result, Vesy and Moore cooperated tacitly and defeated in one fell swoop, forcing all seven city-states to surrender
In October of the eighty-sixth year of the glorious calendar, the second city-state decisive battle, 3 against 60,000, still a big victory, swept eleven city-states
At this time, it already occupied a quarter of the territory of the mainland, but the accumulated military and financial resources had also reached the limit of consumption
In the face of the opposition of the nobles, Vesy also had to take a temporary truce to accumulate strength for the next step
With the exception of the first battle in the city of Bottel, Vesey did not carry out massacres, so the population under his control quickly expanded to about two million
A large number of nobles emerged from the war. And the henchmen of Visy Land. It was also possible to establish meritorious deeds. Divide the envelopes to various places. Hence the forces of other places. It is also being strengthened step by step
Corresponds to it. Moore has a reputation as a prophet. It's also like the sun
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed
In ten years of recuperation. Vesy began to fumble. Establishment of the royal court. According to Fang Xindi's gaze. The rudiments of an orderly state power began to take shape -- the division of administrative regions. Various official positions have been created. Regulate and collect taxes.
In order to strengthen oneself majesty. Far from the Lord of Radiance. So the capital was moved to the original city of Bottel. After all, the land is fertile. As a result of the massacre that year. Borderlands again. It can be rebuilt
Therefore. Construction is on a large scale. Build magnificent walls. and set up a fortified castle outside the city. Anya is civilized and math is very strong. So it's also neatly planned.
In this regard, the Church of the Lord of Radiance, according to the nature of the matter, is generally silent and neutral and inclined to support both sides, and has not expressed any opposition to this move of apparently independent royal power
According to his own layout, Vesy built the temple and the royal palace, which took eleven years before and after.
Although this cost was huge, the kingdom did not affect the development of the country due to the adoption of the feudal system, and the nobles who held real power in various places buried themselves in the development of their own territories, and the economy and population were developing rapidly
In the ninety-seventh year of the glorious calendar, the magnificent royal capital was officially built, the country was thriving, and it was time for a new round of war, at the age of forty-four, and Moore's forty-four
It was then that a young girl was born, the daughter of Moore's sister and his niece.
Moore never married, had no descendants, her sister was a priest of the goddess of agriculture, but she couldn't help but marry, and had two sons and two daughters, but this youngest daughter, named Melfi, was particularly valued by Moore
Brak City
Although the royal capital was moved, it was one of the bustling cities because it was a coastal city with guano and fishing, which did not affect the city to a large extent
Over the years, as Moor's prestige and exploits have grown, of course, he has also received a large number of territorial grants, with a total of 1,000 Ishas, which can be called unprecedentedL
Moore divided the realm into four distributions, the first to the Church, the second to his followers, the third to his relatives, of course mainly to his sister's family, and finally to the priests and other gifted freemen
I don't take any land for myself
At a young age, Melfi was given a 50 Isa territory, with the title of /s
This Melfi is Wu Yanxi, she is now a third-order, but she has followed the experience
Even though it has been developed, there are still many hills and forests here
This town, her territory, is near the city of Braque
A fertile land along the coast, with abundant rainfall all year round, has a population of less than 1,000 on the land of 50 Issa, but it is also easy to grow crops, fish, and timber business
Over the years, slaves have gradually turned into tenants, and although they have no personal freedom and cannot leave the territory at will, they are also the progress of the times
With only 50 of the harvest in the Isa field, Melfi was more than enough to feed herself, 30 soldiers and three samurai, not to mention the commercial taxes
There is guano on the nearby islands, except for the two private territories occupied by Yiaisi, the others, after discovering the benefits of guano, the nobles and the royal family quarreled, and later had to be turned into public territories and mined together
These guano were transported from the island, and after passing through here, with the arrival of many merchants, the place became more prosperous.
Hotels, restaurants, and all kinds of shops are also generated, and the commercial tax collected is naturally good
However, due to the smell of guano though
A lord's mansion, however, she never lived there, on a hill far away from Wu Yan's home T3.
The hill is only 50 meters high, and the scenery is charming and very quiet
When Wu Yanxi was eight years old, she obtained this territory, and she also had wisdom, so she ordered this hill to be burned down, and then in the fertile ashes, it was tidied up, roads were built, flowers and fruits were planted, and mansions were built
Although Wu Yanxi was the owner, she stayed on the lawn in front of the mansion
The autumn sun is shining without too much heat
On the lawn there is a table made of fine purple jade wood, which is fresh and fragrant in color and can be stored for hundreds of years without rotting.
From the silver cutlery on the table and the variety of pastries, you can know that the diet has begun to evolve now, and of course, this aspect is indispensable to the influence of Yiaisi
The ladies gathered together, and they were all relatives
The long life of stability and wealth had made Mrs. Jess forget the tragedy of twenty years ago, and she did not have the ability of her brother Moor's eyes to see the murder of his parents, but remembered the blood feud - she was both a descendant of the sun god and a high priest, a forty-one-year-old woman, and still maintained the appearance of about thirty years old
But she also has something to worry about: "I heard that King Weixi has finished building the royal capital and is going to go on an expedition again?" ”
"Yes, it is said that a requisition order will be issued this year." A young lady also said worriedly, this is Kenlan, the wife of the eldest son Felke: "I don't know that this war will be fought for a few more years." ”
War is undoubtedly a tragic event, and it is certainly a matter of celebration for the victorious fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons to return with slaves, wealth, and land
But even if the dead are compensated, it is difficult to compensate for this grief
It's a pity that women can't do anything about it
"Your Felke, now a high-ranking samurai, in charge of thousands of people, will not be a problem under normal circumstances, but my family's Tanxi, not yet ......" said a younger, more beautiful young woman, this is the second son's wife, Clarry
"Okay, okay, these things are men's business, don't say more, and with my brother Moore taking care of me, it shouldn't be a problem...... What are your arrangements for Bloor and Coombs? They will also turn six years old, and it will be time for them to choose a program of study in the future. Jess comforted her daughter-in-law
"I want them to enter the temple as priests and warriors, whether they are priests, templars, or holy warriors, they are not directly involved in mortal wars, and I don't want me to be old in the future, and I have to worry about my son going to war." Mrs. Kenlan had already thought about it, and said.
"But I heard that the rules of the church temple are very strict, and it is very hard to send them over." Wu Yan's sister Aylmer said.
"Samurai training is still hard." Kenlan's opinion was firm.
"Yes, even the training of ordinary samurai is very hard, but it is difficult to select templars and holy warriors, let alone priests, and priests do not directly participate in mortal wars, so it is difficult to get rich rewards, Lord Moore is a miracle in the world, a blessing from God, it is difficult to have it again." Ermer said.
"Our family has territory, and we don't need to exchange a man's life for it." Clari seems weak, but she is very persistent on this point: "I can't change my man, but I can change my son." ”
"It's better to be Melfi, but, I heard you're going to be the inner sanctum priestess of the Lord of Light?"
When she said this, all the women looked at her
Wu Yanyan has long had faith, that is, the great Houtu, of course, she can pray to the Houtu, believe in it, and Fang Xin will also give divine magic
That's special care
Originally, the sun virgin of the sun god served the sun god as a sun princess, took the father as her husband, and maintained chastity for a lifetime
There are two types of priestesses, one is the one who can marry and have children, that is, the ordinary priestess.
One is the priestess of the inner sanctum who remains chaste
In fact, Fang Xin does not discriminate among all people, and can only distinguish the clergy by piety and merit
It's just that the priestesses of the inner temple who are dedicated to God, not to mention merit, are indeed relatively religious, so they give more power according to the principle of faith—which leads mortals to misunderstand that God likes it
If you choose a priestess in the inner temple, you cannot marry and have children, although the parable clearly states that once the priestess of the inner temple is in love, she can be married by the priestess of the outer temple, but in faith and vows, this rarely happens
Since she is a priestess of the inner sanctum, she will have no husband and children, so what will happen to her territory in the future?
Unconsciously, the ladies present all looked over, and no matter how relatives were, they would also have this thought
50 Yisha's land, which is not less, is the territory of a nobleman, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidiancom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! )
