I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 349 I Want to Promote Spice Planting
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens are basically young soldiers who are not married.

Roy selected the most beautiful one hundred girls from the tens of thousands of spoiled girls as the palace maids of the Athens palace, and then let [-] iron spearmen and [-] soldiers brought by Harmonia, Pick out the wives they want.

Although these trophy girls are blond and blue-eyed alien girls, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens are very keen to be with them.

Because the status of these spoiled girls is equivalent to slaves, they will have children like ordinary wives, but they do not have the power of ordinary wives.

For example, if an ordinary wife is bullied by her husband, her father and brother can teach her husband a lesson.

Even if the husband does not bully his wife, the existence of his natal father and brother will make the husband respect his wife.

In the myth of another world, Alkmaion was killed by his wife's two elder brothers because of betrayal of his wife.

Athens soldiers chose spoiled girls to be their wives, so they didn't have to worry about the wife's father and brothers, let alone worry about the wife giving her family's property to her father and brother.

After more than 6000 spoiled girls were married to soldiers who participated in the war, Roy returned to Athens by boat with the remaining 3000 spoiled girls.

Port of Piraeus.

When Roy returned here, it was already mid-June.

After landing on the cement-built pier, Roy was surprised to find that Piraeus Port had undergone great changes again, and there were many buildings that Roy had never seen before.

Restaurants, hotels, bathhouses, toilets, warehouses—

Various buildings are built around the port, making Piraeus Port more and more like a port city independent of Athens.

Acropolis.

Roy returned to the Athens palace with a hundred blond palace maids. After receiving the news, Procne and Philomela brought Io and Andromeda to meet Roy outside the palace.

"Brother Roy—"

"Brother Roy, you are finally back."

Seeing Roy's figure, Procne and Philomela showed joyful smiles on their faces.

But under the influence of Metis, they all stood in place and did not throw themselves into Luoy's arms like in the past.

"I am back."

Roy walked up to Procne and Philomela, took the initiative to hold them in his arms and said excitedly.

"Procne! Philomela! The war in the Kingdom of Athens is over for the time being. I can marry you as agreed, and I can always stay by your side."

Although Procne and Philomela froze instantly, they did not resist Roy.

Seeing that Roy brought back a hundred young and beautiful blond girls, Philomela complained very unhappy.

"Brother Luoy, why did you bring these girls back? In addition to us, there are three hundred palace maids serving you in the Athens palace. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Philomela, don't get me wrong, they are the palace maids I brought back."

Roy immediately explained.

"I want to send out all the palace maids who have learned Chinese characters to teach Chinese characters to the military system and civil service system of the Kingdom of Athens. Without these palace maids who learned Chinese characters, the Athens palace will definitely have to add new palace maids. So except for the ones I brought back Palace maids, the Athens palace will recruit another [-] palace maids. These palace maids must be unmarried girls, and they must be one of a hundred beautiful girls.”

After listening to Roy's words, Procne frowned and said.

"Brother Luoy, you are going to send out all the old palace maids and replace them with two hundred beautiful one-in-a-million palace maids!"

"You mean to say that almost all the [-] maids in the Athens palace have learned to write Chinese characters?"

For this result, Lowe was not too surprised.

Although there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, there are only thousands of commonly used Chinese characters.

Even after 600 years, 90.00 commonly used Chinese characters can cover [-]% of written information.

In the current era, one thousand commonly used Chinese characters can cover 90.00% of five written materials.

It is normal for those palace maids who can write Chinese characters to learn to write a thousand commonly used Chinese characters in a month or two.

After all, based on fifty days, they only need to learn twenty Chinese characters a day.

The Royal Palace of Athens.

Roy took the girls back to the palace, and after handing over a hundred blond palace maids to Io and Andromeda, Roy, Procne, and Philomela came to the palace hall, holding two Said the man sitting on the throne.

"Procne! Philomela! I brought back ten thousand catties of gold from the Thracians, of which I have given two thousand catties of gold to Harmonia and Chione. The remaining eight thousand catties of gold , I will give you two thousand catties of gold for you to use to make jewelry or other things. For the remaining six thousand catties of gold, I will make a golden throne and various gold utensils."

Procne blinked her beautiful big eyes and said.

"Brother Luoy, we don't need a thousand catties of gold to make jewelry. Even if we use gold to make tableware, we can't use up a thousand catties of gold."

"Then make clothes out of gold."

Roy said with a smile.

"Make gold into gold thread and weave it into your clothes, and it will surely make your clothes beautiful and noble."

"clothing……"

Philomela pulled up her dress and said.

"Speaking of clothes, we have prepared a surprise for brother Roy, what do you think, brother Roy?"

After speaking, Philomela pulled up Procne's dress.

Roy lowered his head and saw the little feet of Procne and Philomela wearing white wool socks.

"This is--"

Procne and Philomela wore woolen socks apparently made of elastic wool.

Because of the level of craftsmanship, although the wool socks of Procne and Philomela can be regarded as a kind of knee socks, they are completely incomparable with silk stockings.

Roy put his head on Procne's knee pillow and said with a smile.

"These woolen socks are not bad, but they would be more perfect if they were dyed black. Now that you have knee-high socks, my sisters, put on skirts!"

"what--"

Hearing Roy's request, Procne and Philomela looked at each other, and then Procne blushed and said.

"Brother Roy, we are not barbarian girls, how can we wear short skirts shamelessly."

"You can wear it to me in the palace, this is my order to you."

In order to allow Procne and Philomela to meet his requirements, Roy directly used the orders of the King of Athens.

"Brother Roy is really..."

"Since you have said so, we can only obey your orders."

Roy closed his eyes in satisfaction and said.

"Dear sisters! Now that our wheat fields have been harvested, I plan to promote spice planting in the Attica peninsula. The land in the Attica peninsula is barren, and the food production is not as good as that of the plains. It is better to plant high-value spice plants And these spices can not only be used for seasoning, but also medicine for curing diseases. I want to promote and plant all the spices in the Mediterranean world, such as fennel, coriander, beet, and thyme. These spices and herbs can also be sold as expensive as gold. Bring inexhaustible wealth to the kingdom of Athens."
