Towards the end of January, cold winds blow across Lake Texcoco, bringing icy chills and chills.

In the past few days, in the southeast of Lake Texcoco, the two Skyfire Islands have been closely guarded. Nearly a hundred warriors were stationed on the island of Tianhuo, and those who landed on the island must have the approval of the king and His Royal Highness. The boat division navy patrols around the island, using the idle Tianhuo two islands as a base to check passing merchant ships and crack down on smuggling trade.

As a result, this place has become a patrol military station that discourages civilians. There are also rumors that the priesthood was secretly performing sacrificial ceremonies to ask evil spirits for power.

On the south bank of Lake Texcoco, hundreds of salt diggers are continuously transporting nitrate, which is then transported to Tianhuo Island by navy ships. The leader of the salt workers, Moreno, went to the island together with the nitrate.

The fierce chief salt worker stood blankly beside the newly built port. He looked around, and there were tall reeds everywhere, as well as scattered wooden huts and thatched huts. The ferocious warriors were equipped with leather armor, battle sticks and long bows, and dozens of single wooden warships completely blocked the surrounding area of ​​the island. It was really a natural cage.

On the shore of the lake, a crocodile had just dived in, and before he could open his mouth, he was found by a sailor by surprise. The warriors rushed up immediately, using long sticks to overturn the four-meter-long predator, exposing its soft abdomen. Then, the samurai first nimbly grabbed the crocodile's mouth, and then smashed it with continuous force with huge stone hammers. In just a few seconds, the crocodile shivered and vomited blood and died, without any resistance.

The warriors cheered. Afterwards, they shouted happily, and they peeled the crocodile for meat by the lake, and set up a barbecue bonfire. After a while, the aroma of grilled meat came to the nostrils.

Seeing this scene, smelling the aroma of barbecue, the fierce Moreno couldn't help swallowing. He carefully restrained the expression on his face, smiled and asked the island's steward, a middle-aged warrior with a weathered face.

"Respected samurai, how long are we going to stay on this island? It's not far from the village on the south bank. We can arrive early every morning and leave after dark..."

Esco gave Moreno a deep look and smiled strangely.

"You are Moreno? Your Highness specially ordered that from now on, you and your subordinates must make burning salt throughout the day, while researching more efficient processes. Every improvement must be recorded, and there will be financial rewards. You will be served three meals a day according to the standard of samurai. No one is allowed to leave without the personal approval of His Highness. Otherwise..."

Esco nodded at the grilling crocodile and smiled strangely again.

Moreno felt cold all over. He and his faithful brothers looked at each other, wanting to cry without tears. Staying on a desert island to burn salt, this kind of day... The grand dream burns in the heart of the salt owl leader, the Jinhe in the south is calling continuously, Moreno once again shows a fierce look, and the salt workers gradually start to make noise.

"Go to work! Your workload has not started today! There will be someone to check and test at night!"

Esco scolded sternly. He waved his hand lightly, and immediately a dozen warriors came up with their sticks pointing diagonally, surrounding dozens of salt workers.

"This is the mission that His Highness emphasized, the most important mission, and a hard-won opportunity!"

Thinking of this, Esco's eyes flashed fiercely, sweeping over every noisy salt worker. The education of the samurai taught him that blood was the best way to stun people... He took off his sharp stick without hesitation, and strode forward.

Moreno looked at the warriors with a fierce expression. Afterwards, his eyes met the middle-aged warrior, and the murderous aura of the battle came towards him, making his heart suddenly icy cold, and he immediately calmed down from his unwilling anger. The salt worker leader bowed his head decisively, slapped the brothers next to him with his backhand, and yelled loudly.

"Go to work for me! You idiots, do you all want to die!"

Immediately, Moreno bowed and saluted the approaching middle-aged warrior, then turned around and headed for the thatched hut in the center of the island. The rebellious salt workers were only stunned for a moment, and the samurai's wooden stick was mercilessly swung down and drove them to the thatched hut. There, the nitrates have piled up like mountains.

Under the management of Esco, Tianhuo Yidao operates with maximum efficiency. Two days later, Esco came in person and respectfully reported the specific production situation to Shilot.

Shirot nodded in satisfaction, but sighed slightly in his heart.

"Five or sixty salt workers work all day, and the daily output of soil nitrate is only 20 to 30 catties, and the consumption of brown nitrate is close to 1000 catties. It is still necessary to improve the extraction process..."

Immediately, Seirot stared at Esco, appreciatively, and gave a serious order.

"Esco, you've done a good job! I'll give you another hundred warriors, and allow you to recruit the villagers on the south bank to expand the collection of nitrate. The collection of nitrate is only in these two months, you must do your best! It's up to you to get in touch with Overwatch Chief Kavale. Now, he's your subordinate!

The number of salt workers for nitrification can be doubled or tripled. One month later, I want to produce 100 catties of soil nitrate per day, no matter what the cost! "

Hearing this, Esco respectfully knelt down and took orders, and his heart was full of ecstasy and excitement.

He had been promoted by His Highness for only a few days, but he had already mastered two hundred samurai and managed thousands of people and salt workers. After 30 years of ordinary life and 15 years of ordinary following the head of the regiment, he finally took a broad and smooth path. For the respect of His Highness and a higher future, he is determined to spare no effort.

Shilot pondered for a moment and continued to command.

"The soil salt produced is sealed in a clay pot and stored separately in the ground. Never touch the flame! You should stay away from these soil salt, just in case.

I will send you two deacons to record the specific production steps and also participate in the improvement process of nitrification. Soon, there will be specialized craftsmen who will come to make potions in the fire, and you will have to prepare an empty work place for them individually. "

Although he didn't understand the words of His Highness, Esco nodded respectfully and tried to remember every word in his heart.

Sherlot patted the middle-aged warrior on the shoulder encouragingly, before waving his hand to let the excited opponent go down.

The young man sighed softly. Nitrate and gunpowder are both easy-to-explode chemicals, and if you are not careful, serious accidents will occur, resulting in death or injury. He put the newly promoted Esco in charge of this matter, and there was actually a selfishness in his heart. Otherwise, given the importance of the work, it should be left to Bertard, Bergere, or "Monkey" to handle it.

Speaking of "monkeys", Kuluka has traveled to the mountain city-state south of Tarrasco with the Mayan merchant Tikalo to smuggle copper mines to local tribal leaders. If all goes well, in two weeks, the first copper mines should be brought back by the fleet. They also have a dangerous mission to find out the topography and force distribution of the southern city-states, and collect intelligence for the expedition after the autumn harvest.

Shilot stood up, pacing slightly in thought.

The copper mines in hand were all made into bronze tools and handed over to the old carpenter to make longbows. The gathering of miners and the recruitment of tribesmen should wait until after the New Year's ritual. The bronze three-meter spear is not in a hurry either. You can first take out the two-meter bronze spears seized from the Tarasco people and use them for the drills of the elite militia. The shields can also be the large samurai shields in the armory.

"With the support of the entire alliance, it's much easier to do things. I can finally settle down and work on farming and scientific research."

Shirot raised his head with emotion in his heart. The noon sun shines on the main hall, illuminating the wooden plaque on the top of the hall, and three gilded Chinese characters come into view, "Shenqidian".

This was originally the residence of the Prince of Texcoco, but now it has changed its name and is called "God's Kaisuo". The original name of Shulot was "The Oracle", which was used to cherish some long-standing memories.

However, the grandfather pondered for a long time and seriously rejected the proposal. The word "Oracle" is too sensitive and has a strong connotation of power, which is not suitable for today's teenagers. However, his reputation as a "God Revealer" has been spread by the priests and elders, and it is easier to help him establish his authority by setting up a new artisan center in the name of Divine Reveal.

Now, the main hall where Shilot is located is the center of Prince Texcoco's palace. The hall is richly decorated and spacious and light-transmitting. There are traces of repair in many places, vague records of **** battles not long ago. The frescoes of the Texcoco royal family on the four walls have been leveled, and the altar of sacrifice is empty.

The young man did not know that the head of Troel was once sacrificed here, and he did not know the conversation and plan of the chief priest and the prince. Ambition dies, the dead do not return, and the past is gone with the wind. And a new chapter is opening in the acceleration of heroes!

In Shilott's plan, "Shen Kai Institute" is the alliance's technology research and development center. Under his direct leadership, the most professional craftsmen and talents are gathered to make epoch-making scientific and technological progress. To this end, he specially asked his grandfather for instructions, and mobilized a group of priests who knew how to count to join the "God's Enlightenment" with an infinite future.

The high priest first shook his head and chuckled, then nodded in approval. It is a low-key way to leave the sensitive military, political and religious fields and temporarily study some gadgets.

Therefore, the high priest solemnly assigned quotas to the various temples in the council of priests and elders. Afterwards, after a heated discussion among the elders, they threw out the lowest-level civilian deacons and asked them to join the lowly craftsmen to accompany His Highness the "God Revealer" to make "toys" of wood and clay~www.readwn. com~ Soon after, Shulot received forty or fifty young commoner priests with low morale, and there were also a few noble priest disciples who had served. He was stunned for a moment and sighed slightly. Priests are more likely to accept commands, and their plasticity will be higher.

The "Shen Kai Institute" is now carrying out several research projects at the same time, and the quartermaster Bergere has been appointed as the specific manager. Hundreds of senior craftsmen were summoned and divided with the priests into different research groups to engage in military and civilian projects designated by His Highness. They worked hard to deduce and complete the production of the real thing from the prophetic description of His Highness, and then recorded the materials and steps.

In order to stimulate the research enthusiasm of the craftsmen, Shilot specially set a high reward. Artisans are rewarded with gold, silver, gems, cotton, and even land for every research breakthrough, as well as increasing their title benefits.

The teenager rearranged the craftsman level. The craftsmen of the "Shenqi Institute" are now divided into four levels: apprentice, ordinary, senior, and master. Each level is divided into upper and lower levels, enjoying different treatment. Senior craftsmen are given the status of ordinary samurai, and rare master craftsmen are canonized as military nobles.

These places were specially requested by the teenager from Avit. The great nobles were vaguely dissatisfied, but the number of master craftsmen was small and they could not be passed on, so they reluctantly accepted this matter. They now have a more important focus, the imminent introduction of the nobility law.

Low-level priests would accumulate merits to improve the priesthood. In the future, the teenager plans to separate the promotion system of "artisan priests" and create an independent research department.

Under the high rewards and strict supervision, various researches are carried out in an orderly and efficient manner. Thinking of this, Shilot strode out of the main hall, and under the personal guard of the samurai chief, inspected the research progress of each craftsman group.
