The temple was not built large, but it was required to be solemn and able to show the majesty of the main deity. Each temple www.biquge.info staffed by two professional priests.

In order to reduce unnecessary entanglements, the priests sent by the major tribes in the early stage were all men, and most of the main temples built in the coyote camp were female priests. It is required that only virgins be able to serve in the main temple because everything they have will be dedicated to the gods.

On this article, Sun Gang specially raised his own objection:

"All the priestesses in the temple, over the age of thirty, are to move out of the main temple, and they are free to marry at will. ”

No way, as one of the main gods, Sun Gang didn't want to watch the old virgin in his seventies and eighties dangling in front of his eyes every day, a woman in the desert, thirty years old is already an older age.

"The Monarch of Doom is above, but the goddesses in the other temples need to serve the gods all their lives. Sa'e said.

"That's something else, I don't care anyway, no goddesses over the age of thirty are allowed in my temple. Field, Tukameng, Seth, what do you say?"

"Since it was proposed by the Monarch of Doom, then follow it, and if there is a goddess who does not want to marry, let her serve in the temple below, and the goddess in the main temple shall not be more than thirty years old. "Field, that's settled.

Sa'e took the opportunity to suggest that the temple could appoint a married priestess, and that in general, a man who was appointed could not refuse unless the Pope made a change.

Hall thought about it for a moment and agreed. Such an excellent coyote warrior control will also be strengthened with marriage, and the priestesses selected by Sa'e are all the most beautiful characters in the desert, the most beautiful flowers in the desert, and no matter who is appointed at that time, it is estimated that the mouth will smile crookedly.

In this way, religion and kingship will be closely linked. It has to be said that the power of religion, when used well, is the best assistant of royal power. With the establishment and propagation of the Cult of Death, the foundation of Hall's rule became more and more solid.

In order to expand the spread of the temple and increase the influence of the coyotes, after careful deliberation with Hale, Sa'e prepared to open a trade route.

This trade route has been around since ancient times, crossing the middle of the Namib Desert by camel caravans, reaching the sea, and then being transported by cargo ship to the Duchy of Taranto and the Duchy of Blue across the sea. The trade road has a history of hundreds of years, but it was only 40 years ago that the trade road disappeared.

There are many thieves in the desert in turn, all eyeing this road full of gold coins, some thieves are charging a part of the goods as protection money, but some thieves directly kill people and goods, in contrast to each other, the result is that the thieves are becoming more and more ferocious.

Because there is no way, if you only look at the temporary benefits, of course, it is the greatest benefit to pocket all the goods. As for tomorrow, when I open my eyes, I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow. The end result of the thieves comparing themselves is that this trade route has disappeared into the long river of history.

Sa'e's solution was simple, set up a simple dock in Antelope Bay, which is the most suitable for large ships by the sea, and the dock was garrisoned by coyote warriors, so that passing ships could temporarily dock to replenish fresh water, food, and cargo.

At the other end of the desert, the city of Raman in the Tulip Principality served as a bridgehead to establish the first caravan in the Namib Desert, the Coyote Caravan.

Along the way of the caravan, a number of strongholds were established, and the establishment of strongholds was selected from the major tribes, which on the one hand could strengthen the external exchanges of each tribe and be conducive to the development of the tribes.

On the other hand, each stronghold was already garrisoned by some coyote warriors, so that the caravan had its own people to receive along the way, which could greatly reduce the size of the caravan and save manpower.

Many times, it's better to say it 10,000 times than to actually do it once. Even if Sa'e advertised that the caravan could pass through the Namib Desert safely, many caravans would not easily take the first step after being patronized by the bandit bands that had previously been so numerous.

In that case, let's do it ourselves. Coyotes are the largest group of thieves in the desert before, and the only one now, coyotes will never smash their own signboards, right?

Sa'e set the commission for the coyote caravan at a high price, worth 20% of the total price of the goods.

There is no way, a caravan of this nature like a coyote would be even more unbelievable if the price was set too low. Sa'e promised that the coyote caravan would cross the desert safely, and that in the event of an accident, the owner of the cargo would receive twice as much compensation.

In addition, if other organizations, such as the Mercenary Guild, want to earn money for the delivery of goods, they must pay half of the commission to the Coyote Thieves before they can accept the protection of the Coyote Samurai and cross the desert safely.

As for whether there will be mercenaries who are arrogant enough to ignore the coyote thieves, then it is up to Hale to discuss it with the other party with a scimitar, and Sa'e doesn't want to worry about this issue.

The price of the commission seems to be a lot, but for merchants who are eager to open up the road to the desert, going directly to the sea through the Namib Desert can save nearly a month's time, and in terms of cargo circulation, sometimes, time is money.

The first business of the coyote caravan was the transportation of tea for a small amount.

In the evening, an old man dressed in gray walked into the Coyote Chamber of Commerce. Cass is the person in charge of the Coyote Chamber of Commerce, and there was no customer coming to the door for several days, and finally a customer came to the door, so Cass personally greeted him.

"I have a shipment of tea in my hand, which departs from the city of Laman and along the way the caravan is ready to sell some of it to the tribes of the desert, and finally about half of the remaining goods reach Antelope Bay, where they are transferred to large ships and transported to the Duchy of Taranto across the sea. This time there are about twenty camels for tea, I wonder if your chamber of commerce will accept it?"

"Twenty camels for the cargo. No matter how much we take, let alone twenty horses, we will take both horses. Cass hurriedly said.

"This is the commission, is it settled with goods or gold coins? With goods is settled with four camels' tea, settled with gold coins, it is forty gold coins. ”

"We settle in gold, but the time is a little tight, and we must arrive at Antelope Bay in half a month, where we have ships to pick up the goods on time. ”

"Half a month? It's a little tight, but no problem, as long as you rush a little more at night, you can make sure that you won't be delayed." ”

For the signing of the first business, it is more from the tulip principality's big merchants, it is estimated that the first few business will not be too big, only after a few explorations, those big merchants dare to hand over the bulk commodities to the coyote caravan to operate.

Hall was extremely pleased with Sa'e's trade route plan. There are still shortcomings in the coyote thief group, when it comes to carrying a scimitar to fight, the thief group has too many fighters, and when it comes to the management of a country, it is obviously not good.

Even the thieves directly manage the tax collectors who collect taxes for themselves with a scimitar. If you find corruption once, you cut off your left hand, if you find corruption twice, you cut off your left foot, and if you find it three times, you cut off your head.

The method is too simple and crude, for the early thieves, such a method is simple and easy to remember, easy to implement, but with the opening of the trade route plan in the future, it will need professional officials to manage.

In particular, Sa'e vaguely told Hall that with a name like "Coyote Thieves", it was no longer suitable to be a huge organization with more than 200,000 inhabitants, the entire Namib Desert, and more than 10,000 warriors.

And for the provision of 10,000 warriors, it has always been a big burden. There was no rival in the desert, and although Hale had enough gold in front of him, he couldn't continue like this.

It's not a good thing for a warrior to be idle, and the scimitar will always be sharp only if it is constantly sharpened. After a few days of careful consideration, Hall decided to overhaul the Coyote Bandits.

The first reform is to recruit all kinds of talents from the nearest tulip principality. Officials who have experience in grassroots management, medical care, planting, brewing, casting, carpentry, and construction, as long as they have a skill, coyotes want it, and after obtaining a large amount of gold from the Tuka League, Hall said that as long as you come, there will be gold coins.

The second reform is the "Coyote Thieves Group", which was renamed the "Coyote Federation", and as for why the word Coyote was retained, it was purely out of Hall's own liking.

When Hall joined the Coyote Thieves, he liked the meaning of the name, which is the name of the inhabitants of the Namib Desert, and in other regions, the coyote is also known as the spotted hyena, a powerful animal that can compete with lions.

The proposal of his subordinate Cook and other leaders to suggest the name of the Coyote Principality was suppressed by Hall. With a population of just over 200,000, dare to call it a principality? What principality does not have a population of more than tens of millions?

The area of the Namib Desert is very large, almost half the size of the Tulip Principality, but there are too few areas that can make people live, in order to be safe, it is more in line with the current situation of the Coyote Federation.

Trade routes have begun to pass one after another, and although they look a little cold in front of them, Hall believes that the trade routes will be very lively in the future.

Cook experienced the last life force absorption incident, I don't know if it was when the Tuka League returned Cook's life force, he returned a little more, anyway, now Cook's originally somewhat pale hair has been transformed towards blackness.

If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. Everyone is busy now, and Cook is just faithfully carrying out Hall's orders for the establishment of the Temple of Death.

But as time passed, Cook first noticed the changes, the warriors around him, and the inhabitants of the desert, after the establishment of the Holy Religion, the appearance of the people changed greatly.

Becoming more positive, more fearless of death, after the leader proposed the title of the Coyote Federation, everyone's centripetal force became stronger. After all kinds of talents hired by a lot of money enter the Coyote Federation, there are new changes every day.

In particular, the merchant named Marco, who was promoted by the chief, became a leader in the construction of the Federation. In Cook's words:

"That's a genius given to Namib by God. ”

The chief, Hall, did not sleep all night, and after reading the thick plan for the management and utilization of the Orange River written by Mark, the next day he decided that Marco would be the Secretary of Agriculture, responsible for the management of the Orange River, the main producer of agricultural products in the Federation.

At first, although the samurai didn't dare to say anything, they still had a lot of complaints about Marco becoming a powerful figure second only to Cook. As a result, the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture showed his extraordinary ability, and it was said that the new official took office with three fires, and Marco's fires were burned down, and everyone was convinced.

The Orange River, the largest river in the desert, originates in the Åland Mountains of the Duchy of Tulip and collects a huge amount of water along the way, crossing the eastern side of the Namib Desert and finally rushing into the sea.

Because there are many cliffs along the way with a drop of more than ten meters, or even tens of meters, it is impossible for boats to pass. However, due to the abundance of water and abundant fishing, the most important crop producing areas along the banks of the Orange River are scattered along the route.

The Herero people have been cultivating on both banks, but the harvest is not satisfactory due to several floods that flood most of the crops in the summer. As the Orange River enters the desert, it passes through a huge red sandstone canyon. Marco's plan was to use the natural red sandstone canyon to divert the river.

Marco cleverly designed a canal with a width of more than 20 meters close to the river, and the height of the canal was slightly lower than that of the flowing river.

Twenty centimeters here refers to the height of the normal water flow, so that when the flood comes, the excess water can be diverted through the canal without causing major losses downstream. When the amount of water in the river decreases, the canal is above the water level and does not compete with the downstream for water.

In other words, the completion of this canal has completely transformed the entire lower banks of the Orange River into a land of fish and rice. The land, which is flooded every year, is now the most fertile land. It is estimated that this alone could more than triple food production.
