The Confucian Temple Collar was given by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty to the Wen priest family, that is, the territory of the Wen Jiming family. It is seven kilometers long from east to west, about four kilometers wide from north to south, and the entire territory is about twenty-eight kilometers.

Because the previous emperor of Bactria divided the county into counties, the entire Bactria was divided into eighty-two counties, and the emperor privately led four counties. plus seventy-eight counties of the seventy-eight vassal states. The Confucian Temple Collar is located between the five counties, namely Kawakami County in the west, Chuanzhong County in the northwest, Chuanxia County in the northeast, Hedong County in the southeast and Hexi County in the southwest.

The Baisha River, located between Hedong and Hexi, runs through the Confucian Temple, and the greatest contribution of the Wen family to the locals was the construction of the Baisha Stone Bridge at the beginning of their settlement in the territory. Crossing a full 25-metre-wide stretch of river.

The Temple of Literature was built on a dirt slope in the north of the territory. There are three major halls in the front, middle and back, there are 20 chambers around the main hall, and then the stone wall is outside, by 48 stone steps from the main entrance in front of the front hall straight down, there is a votive pond outside the front hall for people to throw copper coins to make vows. The front hall is dedicated to the statues of the four protector gods, the middle hall is dedicated to the statue of the god of literature himself, and the apse is the place where the gods are usually asked, and the surrounding walls are painted with charms and various words.

Under the stone steps of the Temple of Literature is the town of the Temple of Literature. The Wenfu was built on the east side of the town. To the west of Bunfu are two towns, a samurai town and a merchant town. Further west is the Shifang, which is full of various shops, liquor stores, restaurants, and other facilities. There is a natural village two miles west from Confucian Temple Town, which is the farm of Wenfu. The five roads from the five counties all lead directly to the town of Confucian Temple. It can be seen that its geographical location is superior.

Because the entire territory is not large, there are only more than 7,000 acres of farmland. But it supported more than 700 families in the entire territory, including 120 samurai alone. Fortunately, these samurai usually only receive money, and if they send rice, it will definitely be enough.

The main source of income for the Wen Jiming family came from the shops scattered all over the Great Xia, as well as the annual offerings of the Wen family's houses and families. The other is the incense money of the scholars and doctors from all over the world.

The priests of Bactria believed in all gods, but the main gods they served were different. It's a bit like the ancient Greeks. However, due to the different functions of the respective gods, the priests also practiced different spells. The only thing that is the same is the art of asking the gods.

------------------------------------------------------

Wen Jiming wandered aimlessly on the street, because he had cast a spell to cover up his true face, so he was not noticed by the townspeople. Not all the people in the town have hair, and there is no such thing as a parent in this world. Most people who do hard work like to have short hair. Long hair is generally a person with some status.

As soon as you enter the market, you will see all kinds of stalls, shops everywhere, and the houses are basically wooden structures. Isn't there any brick-burning technology in the world? Until now, the non-wooden houses he saw were all made of stone, and he really didn't see any brick houses, let alone cement.

When I looked up, I saw a sign with "books" hanging on the outside of a shop, which was supposed to be my own shop. In Bactria basically, everything that is related to writing is the property of the Wen family. As soon as I entered the door, I found that the store was not big, and there were more than 100 kinds of books, mostly calendars, algorithms, agricultural books, legends, history, etc., and nothing else. I took out the book and looked at it, it was actually made of paper, but the texture was not good, and the paper surface was yellow. The book is clearly a copied book. The handwriting is not good-looking. Well, there is no typography.

Walking further on, there is a blacksmith shop with a sign with the word "iron". The room was filled with all kinds of weapons, including short swords, short spears, short axes, spears, iron shields, and a straight knife similar to the Tang sword. The long sword is not visible, and it is estimated that it is more difficult to build. There are not many long soldiers, and they are basically short weapons. There are also bows and crossbows, but they are rare.

"When will you have time to make a wild knife?" Wen Jiming thought to himself.

After visiting the entire Fang City, Wen Jiming basically had an understanding of the level of civilization in this Great Xia. The society should be the Iron Age, and the culture is inferior to the original time and space China. The armor was mostly leather armor, chain mail. Preferably nothing more than plate chain mail. However, armor is basically expensive. No wonder most of the samurai in the family wore leather armor. Because ironclad can't afford it.

As for the living aspect, there is no sugar. Salt is coarse salt. There are few vegetables, and so are fruits. Condiments are even rarer. The cloth is mostly linen, luo, then silk, brocade. This is similar to that of Huaxia.

Suddenly, he felt something strange behind him, and turned around to find an old man with a goatee behind him. The old man saw him turn around and slowly saluted him.

"You're here to apologize?" Wen Jiming raised his eyebrows and asked.

The old man nodded bitterly. Give the answer: "We don't know enough about you priest, so we are offended." ”

"There are no priests of the lineage, right? The national teacher of Shimokawa country? ”

"Let the priest laugh."

"Why do you want to see me?"

"We found a secret book in one of the ruins of the country, but because it is an ancient text, we can't understand it."

"So you want to crush me so I can decipher it? That's a good idea. Well, I'm not hard for you. Keep the original, and you take the translation. How is it? ”

The old man gave another salute, took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Wen Jiming. Inside there is a very old gold book and a piece of parchment. When Wen Jiming saw this, he casually drew a circle around the old man and himself, isolating the outside world from hearing and hearing. Then he closed his eyes, and the golden diamond in the middle of his forehead emitted a trace of golden light on the ancient books, and after a pause, he began to write in the air with his right hand, and after each word, the characters flew directly to the parchment and became words.

In less than half an hour, all the texts were translated. The parchment flew into the old man's hand. The old man wanted to say goodbye. Wen Jiming persuaded, "You verify it first before leaving, to prove that I didn't lie to you." Promises between priests. ”

When the old man heard this, he became solemn and began to read the parchment. "Healing?" Wen Jiming nodded. After reading it, the old man opened his mouth and bit off the thumb of his left hand, and after reading the mantra silently in his heart, he recited "heal", and the wound quickly began to heal. Wen Jiming felt that there seemed to be a white spot flashing on the old man's forehead at this time, and he smiled after taking a closer look.

"It's interesting that you're actually a blessing in disguise, and you're expected to enter the Inheritance Priesthood."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and quickly took out the bronze mirror to observe, and sure enough, a white spot the size of a grain of rice appeared in the middle of his forehead. This means that the old man has started from a wild priest and stepped into the ranks of inheritance priests. After his death, the descendants who have the foundation can directly inherit his magic. The old man knelt down directly and made a big salute.

"Well, it means that we are destined. Really bad things become good things. Actually, it's not easy for you priests who don't have a lineage. If you have the opportunity to learn the secret of the ownerless, it will not be in vain for you to struggle all your life. The lord of Shimokawa is your son and nephew? ”

"It's my sister-in-law."

"It's really valuable to have perseverance, and to learn priesthood without being the lord of the country. If there are other cheats in the future, you can come directly to me. ”

"Thank you Priest Wen, after the Xiachuan Kingdom, it will be the country of the disciples of the Wen family, and the God of Literature will also be placed in the family temple to receive incense." The old man raised his right hand and took an oath.
