I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 54
Looking at Procne, who was deified as the goddess of dew, and Philomela, who was deified as the goddess of fields, Roy suddenly realized a problem.

Originally, Roy was the priest of the goddess Metis, the spokesperson of the goddess Metis, and the person who really held the divine power.

But now, Procne, Philomela, and Erechtheus are not only deified as the incarnation of the gods, but also the adopted sons and daughters of the goddess Metis.

After all, Roy's identity is only the priest of humans and the goddess Metis.

Obviously, Procne, Philomela, and Erechtheus are more qualified to hold the divine power than Roy.

"The leader of Pandion deified his family in order to completely suppress me and prevent me from using theocracy to challenge the leader's family?"

Although he guessed Pandion's intentions, Roy didn't care.

Because the current Roy really has no idea of ​​competing with Pandion for the right to rule.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! You have been forbidden to leave the Acropolis, why did you come to the port today?"

"We are waiting for the Eleusinians."

Procne explained.

"Priest Loi, half of the Eleusinians conquered by our Athenian tribe were handed over to you by my father for management. For the remaining half of the Eleusinians, my father decided to hand over the management to me and Philomela. My father said Philomela and I will marry the leader of the big tribe or the king of the city-state in the future, so that we can help my husband manage the people, my father decided to let us use half of the Eleusis people to practice the experience of managing the people."

After listening to Procne's words, Kaone immediately said with wide eyes angrily.

"Do you Athenians treat us Eleusis as cattle and sheep? You two princesses are even allowed to manage half of our Eleusis population. If there is a problem because of your incompetence, you two little girls can afford it." Responsibility?"

"Who do you think is a little girl? I think you are at most the same age as my sister!"

Philomela looked at Keone with a proud face and said.

"Although my sister and I have never taken care of cattle and sheep, it is no problem for me and my sister to manage you Eleusis. As long as you Eleusis obey my order and my sister's, you will be well fed and clothed .”

Kaone asked with a sneer.

"Then do you know how much food a person needs to eat every month?"

Philomela thought seriously.

"Five catties... at most ten catties!"

"Ten catties? If you let us Eleusis eat ten catties of grain every month, all of us Eleusis will starve to death."

"How could people starve to death? I only ate five catties of grain a month and I didn't starve to death! If ten catties of grain is not enough, you Eleusisians should eat more meat and vegetables!"

Eat more meat?

Eat more vegetables?
Hearing Philomela's words, Kaone almost laughed angrily.

Even Roy couldn't hold back the expression on his face, and couldn't help shaking his head.

In this era of food scarcity, it is impossible for ordinary people to eat meat every meal.

In this season when winter and spring alternate, it is impossible for ordinary people to dig wild vegetables and eat them as vegetables.

As the noble daughter of the leader's family, Philomela can not only eat meat, but also vegetables in winter and spring, but this is a life that ordinary people can't imagine.

Even Procne couldn't stand Philomela's ignorance of ordinary people's life, and said with a helpless expression.

"Philomela, ordinary people's lives are different from ours. Their lives are not as good as our servants. Although our servants are low-level, they can live comfortably and eat our leftovers to taste delicious food. .”

"what--"

Philomela said with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Those ordinary people are higher than our servants, but their lives are not as good as our servants?"

Seeing that Philomela was refreshed by this amazing fact, Chione said to Procne.

"Princess Procne! Your sister doesn't even know how much food a person needs to eat every month. I don't think you are much better than your sister. Let you two sisters manage half of the population of our Eleusis, I worry Many clansmen will be killed by your incompetent management."

After Procne was left speechless, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Princess Chione! I think your level is about the same as Princess Procne and Princess Philomela. You know how much food a person eats every month, but do you know how to get food to feed them?"

"I……"

Kayone spent a long time with me, but I couldn't come up with a reasonable way to obtain food.

Seeing that Kaone was also speechless by Roy's question, Philomela immediately mocked.

"It turns out that you can only ask questions but not solve them, so what right do you have to question us?"

"Philomela!"

Procne glared at her sister, then said to Roy.

"Priest Loi! Now half of the 3000 people of the Eleusis tribe are managed by you, and half by me and Philomela. Philomela and I really have no experience. You can help us manage the Eleusis , let us learn management experience from you?"

"of course can."

Roy said without hesitation.

"If you have no objection, I would like to build two villages for the Eleusinians with a population of 500. One village will be built at the foot of Mount Parnisa, which will be called Parr Village later. The other village will be built at the foot of Mount Pendelli, It will be called Pendelli from now on. Pall will be managed by me, and Pendelli by you two. We can keep the two villages together and manage them in the same way."

Procne nodded in agreement.

Because she has no management experience at all, she can only accept Roy's proposal completely.

"I have a question!"

Philomela said suddenly at this moment.

"Priest Luoy, you have never been a leader, so how do you have management experience?"

"Princess Philomela, I have no management experience."

Roy explained with a smile.

"Although I have no management experience, I know how I can help the Eleusinians survive when they come to a strange land. As long as you can empathize with the problems that the Eleusinians are facing and are willing to help them solve their problems , then you can become qualified managers.”

Procne and Philomela looked at each other, both of them had embarrassed expressions on their delicate and beautiful faces.

Because no matter how kind and gentle their hearts are, they cannot empathize with the Eleusis.

Seeing the reactions of Procne and Philomela, Kione whispered.

"Although I am a girl like them, I think men are more suitable to be administrators than women. Pandion should never let his two daughters practice management experience with us Eleusis, maybe he should use us Eleusis The 3000 population of the Sith tribe will be handed over to you to manage."

Roy shook his head and said.

"The Athenians directly managed by the leader of Pandion only have a population of 3000 in the Acropolis. How could he entrust all the [-] Eleusinians to my management?"

After Roy finished speaking, dozens of ships carrying the Eleusis sailed into the port of Piraeus just at this time.
