Chapter 225: The Camp (I)
Ya civilization has been in this independent plane for tens of thousands of years, and it has also progressed
This progress was the departure from the stone civilization and the use of bronze tools, and now the use of iron tools.
Moreover, the wheeled chariot was finally invented, and animal husbandry began to have it, especially hieroglyphs, Anya script, which played an important role in the development of history.
The city of Tasha controlled the fertile areas within 100 miles of the vicinity, and the areas outside 100 miles were uncontrolled and undeveloped areas, and after three days, Iath set off.
All 380 slaves were taken away, and another 150 were taken out of the slaves of the original family.
He had almost exhausted the family samurai, and gathered twenty samurai, as well as ten craftsmen and two pharmacists, as well as ten Templars specially invited from the pyramid of the Lord of Radiance, commanded by a paladin named Bronz.
The only thing that is better than the average person is that Yiaisi's actions are not aimless.
The top-down view allows her to choose the best route to the most suitable location for colonization.
It was near a river 180 miles away.
It took eight days to reach a hill near this stretch.
On the other side of the hills, there is a dense forest, even in the afternoon sun, it is quiet, even with a cold ......
Then. It's April. It's time to plant cornfields.
Aith looked in the direction of the forest and let out a deep breath. She knows. I've found the location.
Before Iace went to the Anya plane. I used to learn how to cultivate and manage it. Now is the time to put her skills to the test.
I thought about it for a while. Indeed, there is no part of the earth that has gone ahead of the earth. It's just to carry forward the things that have land now. She smiled slightly. He said to the man, "Bronz, please." ”
The Bronz was a devout paladin. The grade is not high. But there are also about three levels.
But traditionally. It was the priest who commanded the paladin. A moment later. He came. Salute slightly: "Priest." What do you have to command? ”
"Your Excellency, our destination has arrived, and I would like to ask you to maintain order and defend against any wild beasts until we build walls and dwellings."
"It's my duty, priest." That's what he said.
Then the whole slave was mobilized, the grain was unloaded from the cart, they took the axe, and began to cut down the trees, the big roots of the trees were pushed up, and the small wood could also be used as matches, and it was a busy scene.
At the designated place, the fire began again.
Arson, for settlement, is a university question.
In a strange and uninhabited land, under the grass and jungle, and even under the soil layer, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, germs, parasites, etc., which are harmful to people.
So how to deal with it?
Just a fire, this fire, if it can be reached (that is, to reach a certain scale), it will not only obtain a fertile land, but also sweep away those poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, pestilences, pestilences and the like, so as to open up a safe area.
This is already very familiar and very efficient for the Anya people, who often open up farmland in the rainforest.
The fire was blazing, the ground was blazing, and the animals inside fled in a hurry, and those who had no time to escape could only be burned to death.
And in the camp, the slaves were organized according to their duties, and the craftsmen, especially the craftsmen, began to carve the fine wood selected by the fire, and the aroma of food wafted out.
Avery's original habit of praying was at moonrise, and this habit was inherited by Eis, so she ate it, prayed and obtained the next day's magic, and she went to sleep.
When she woke up the next day and came out of the tent, she was surprised to find that the weather was surprisingly good today, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, the flames had been extinguished, and a large area had been burned out.
The ground was charred and filled with animal carcasses from time to time – slaves were picking them up as one of the rare ways they could replenish protein.
For a theocratic society like Anya, the first thing to do is not to build a dwelling, not to reclaim the land, but to build an altar.
The Church of the Lord of Radiance has become more and more strict in its religious manners.
Any religious place is a sacred place of the gods, but there are also hierarchical differences, which are altars, small temples, regular temples, large temples, and pyramid temples.
The altar could be made of any material, carved with the emblems of the sun and the moon, prayed by the priests, and prayed by hundreds of worshippers.
High priests can even build altars directly.
But it's all temporary.
The small shrine was the smallest of the shrines, and the outer buildings could be made of wood and brick, but the inner altars had to be made of marble, and the prayers and sermons of the faithful had to be maintained regularly.
The outside of the shrine, which had to be made of stone, had not only marble altars, but also clay tablet rooms, libraries, rooms for the clergy to rest and settle down, and even a samurai quarter.
As for the big
Needless to say, the pyramid temple must be in the city
The craftsmen, who had worked all night, had carved out the wooden altar.
The earth was formed into a tower, and the altar was respectfully invited to be placed on it.
Then, with all the slaves in his hands, he knelt on the ground and began to pray.
As the prayers grew louder and more neat, a little light began to appear on the altar, and this light was no less than the sun in the sky, and the golden color was particularly vivid.
When the ceremony ended, the altar suddenly lit up and retracted, and at this time, it was invisible to the naked eye, but everyone knew that the Lord of Light recognized the faith in this place and recognized the existence of the altar.
Iath automatically became the priest of the altar.
The ritual took a morning, and at noon, even the slaves doubled their food.
In the afternoon, the slaves began to work hard.
The division of labor was very detailed, with a group of men carrying axes going to cut down the trees, while the women cut off the branches of the trees.
The cattle and sheep brought with them were also raised in the nearby fertile grass.
The burned land, which was several square kilometers along the river, had already begun to divide the land into squares by a straight road two feet wide in the middle.
The reason for this is that for the sake of good calculation, slaves working in the fields naturally have to be distributed equally, not to specialize in learning the Chinese well field system.
In the divided fields, the cattle ploughed the fields, and then the corn seeds were planted, and the women used pottery to water them by the river.
This time, basically calculated, there were 150 households.
Each household cultivates 100 acres, of which 30 acres are planted with corn, and the next year the land is planted with potatoes and the like. There are still thirty acres, which have now been planted with potatoes, and the last thirty acres are not planted, and the land is regrown with grass, and the manure of men and poultry and animals, and the ashes of the burned grass, will be piled up, and the land will be fertile for corn in the next year.
This is not original, Anya agriculture itself does this, they burn the woodland, they plant corn, and when the soil is no longer fertile, they abandon the fields, and open up new fields, and the original fields will slowly return to long grass and forests, waiting for the next time to burn the forests and open the fields - and so on.
Now Yiaisi is just standardizing this practice, but this standardization has reached the three-field rotation system in the late European Middle Ages.
The Mita system has been called "the greatest agricultural invention of the West in the Middle Ages" by scholars. The three-field system not only increases the sown area, but also saves animal power and manpower, and maintains soil restoration.
The altar moved violently, and a glimmer of holy light lit up, but it was the attention of the Lord of Radiance.
This situation was not known to others, but the maiden who had been arranged to guard the altar and the descendant of the sun god who had been bought noticed it, and she hurriedly remembered it in her heart, and prepared to tell her mistress at night.
And she also fell on the ground and prayed to the altar.
She was very young and loved her life, but she did not cling to her original beliefs like her fathers, so she immediately believed in the Lord of Light and hoped that it would improve her destiny.
When the sun went down, the slaves returned, and at this point, it has to be said that the reason why they did not work at night was because the slaves, and even the peasants in general, lacked nutrition, and were night blind at night, and even if there was moonlight, they could not work at all.
As for lighting a fire at night and laughing, the consumption of this firewood and oil is not worth it.
By the time the slave had slept after a day's work, Iath had finished praying for another day, and the maiden had told her the news.
Yi Aisi was very satisfied, and said, "Well done! ”
Her expression was meaningful, and this wise woman was already able to grasp some of the essence.
This slave, after all, is a descendant of the old god Sun God, and she is born with the power of light in her bloodline, as long as she can believe in the Lord of Light and has a certain amount of piety, it is easy to come into contact with the Holy Power.
When she was able to perform the 10 Divine Spell automatically, she was automatically removed from the status of a slave and obtained the status of a free citizen according to the laws of the church.
The mark on his forehead can be erased with divine magic, and Yi Aisi also has an additional assistant.
The night breeze blew away, blowing away all the fireworks of the day before, and in the dark night, the forest in the distance was very quiet, and the sky was full of all kinds of stars.
Iath patrolled the camp and noticed that the Templars and his own samurai were taking turns on duty, their piercing gazes scanning the surrounding area.
Everything went on normally, Yi Aisi smiled a little, the holy light of the altar during the day, hinting at the appreciation of the Lord of Radiance, she was a little happy, but also a little dissatisfied, snorted a few times, and whispered: "This girl does things, of course, is it possible that you alone can know the mystery?" ”
Of course, no one knew this except God, and the night was getting deeper...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidiancom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
