Aztec Eternals

In April, the spring is deep, the warbler is singing for thousands of miles, the green grass grows on the endless field, and the bright flowers bloom in the plains of the lake area. When a traveler returns from a long journey and sees the picturesque spring scenery in the four fields, he will forget the troubled times he is in.

After the first rain fell, the pink red cicada flower first smiled in the gentle water village, welcoming the king's triumphant return. Black smoke from burning wasteland rises from the villages of Juntun and Mintun, and the singing of busy farming is loud and clear in the reclaimed new fields. The season of spring ploughing has come, and the entire lake kingdom is rejuvenated with hard work.

Shulot led the Guard Corps north from the mouth of the Tarsus River, and stopped at Kuramo City for a day. He instructed the veteran Etalik to concentrate human and material resources and give priority to the development of the Heiyanshan Iron Mine in the estuary. Then, he took a slight detour and stayed in the Chingambat mining area for a day. He summoned Nekali, the director of industry and mining, and asked him to send skilled miners and craftsmen to assist in the mining and smelting of the river mouth iron ore.

The southern part of the kingdom finally calmed down. Whether it was the Prepecha peasants who were incorporated into Mintun, or the Tecos tribesmen who were incorporated into the flag team, they were all running for the busy spring ploughing. This is the top event of the year, which determines the food and clothing for the next year.

Ezpan sent messengers to report back, and thousands of southwestern tribes poured out from the mountains of Koalkoman and surrendered to the king's army in the Apa Plain. After they have eaten their crops, if they do not want to starve to death, they can only submit to the kingdom and be incorporated into the banner village.

It took a month for Xiuluo to return to the capital of Qin Congcan from the estuary 700 miles away. He met the chief minister Jatiri for the first time, and in the sage's amazed voice, he told the situation of the southern expedition and entrusted the kingdom's government affairs. Because he was about to set off soon to get married in Tenochtitlan, the capital of the lake.

At the end of April, the king issued military orders to the various legions of the kingdom. The 1st Pike Corps guards Hekou County, the Gyeonggi Corps guards Gyeonggi, the 2nd Pike Corps guards Apa County, and the Lithium Legion guards Shicao County. The Guaquili Corps returned to Hekou County to rest, ready to be called up again at any time. The Janissaries will go with the King to the Alliance in early June.

After arranging everything, Xiulote made up his mind and started to prepare the congratulatory gift to the alliance.

"The most precious gift, the grandest celebration, the most unforgettable surprise for Alyssa!..."

On the way back to the capital, he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

"The first is a gift to the alliance, 20 cases of jade, 20 cases of obsidian, 20 cases of bronze, 20 cases of gold, 20 cases of silver, and 20 cases of gems... Well, this time, instead of Prepecha gems, use Prepecha. Traditional gems in exchange for gemstones.”

In Mesoamerican culture, 20 is an auspicious number, the number of days in the month of the solar calendar, and symbolizes the divine collection. And 18 is the number of months in the solar calendar, symbolizing different divinities.

"Following the precious gifts to the royal family, 18 pieces of purple sand pottery, 18 pieces of agarwood furniture, 18 boxes of fine cotton cloth, 18 boxes of feather clothes, 18 bundles of herbs and spices... All the cherished luxury items are counted!"

Sherlot picked up a pen and sketched a lot in the kingdom's inventory, in order to be both precious and precious, and to have a sufficient amount.

"Then there is a tribute to the king, 365 bronze cloth armors, 365 bronze Qin swords, and 365 five hundred longbows..."

Similarly, the number of days in a year, 365, is also an auspicious number. Then, Xiuluo paused for a moment, blinked, hesitated for a while, thinking of his grandfather's suggestion, he still wrote it down.

"Add 36 Tiger Cannons and 4 Condor Cannons!"

The Cannon Casting Bureau can cast 1 Condor Cannon and 10 Tiger Squat Cannons per month. In the half year that the king went south, the inventory of tiger squat guns increased by 60 or 70, and 36 were taken out, which is not distressing. What really hurts Shilot is the Condor Cannon. The casting success rate of this 2-pounder is too low.

"Finally, it's a gift for Alyssa! The first is a travel picture book I drew by myself, recording the experiences of the north and south of the kingdom; hundreds of strange flowers and plants were collected from the northern wasteland and the southern mountains; a fist The size of the best fire opal, with sunset-like flames in it, comes from the tribute of the chief of Colima. Well, the Colima Mountains is originally one of the most famous places in the world to produce rare opals.”

Opal is a colorful gemstone, solidified from molten silica deposits, similar to amber to some extent, but with more severe conditions. Before the discovery of opals in Australia, the rarest opals in the world were produced in the southwestern mountains of the kingdom.

"...plus a 60-carat pigeon's blood ruby ​​from the Mistec trade; a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets, a tribute from a Mayan trader...haha, girls should love these bright lights Sparkling jewels. By the way, two more unique surprises for the new era!"

Thinking of the girl who looked like a cloud, Shiroute showed a sincere smile. The value of these gifts in later generations is incalculable, but for the king of the kingdom of the lake, they are not so precious. What the king cared about most was the two surprises of the new era, which required him to personally participate in the production. After sketching for a while, he dropped the pen and paper, took a few guards, and left for Shenwei University.

Shenwei University is located in the palace area of ​​the capital. It was converted from a mansion of the glorious nobles of Tarasco, not far from the Palace of Winds. This priestly university was established with the Kingdom of the Lake, and it has been three years now. By this time, the first batch of fast-track missionary priests had graduated and went to serve in various villages and communities. The latter two groups of students need to study for more than three years and flow to different priestly branches.

The university has grown considerably since it was first established. The number of students enrolled each year is about 200. These people come from a wide range of sources, 40% are nobles and priests of all levels, 30% are from various samurai families, 20% are merchants, commoners and children, and 10% are descendants of noble chiefs from the states of Otomi. Now, at the request of the king, the tribes of Tecos will also send the children of noble chiefs to come to accept the education of the kingdom.

In the eyes of the people of the capital, this Shenwei University is a real road to the sky. As long as he can enter the university, it means that he has the status of a reserve priest and has since become a reserve of the ruling class.

The king dressed lightly, and brought dozens of guards to Shenwei University. The vice president of the university and the third-level priest Bravo has been waiting for a long time.

"Blessed by the Lord! The suzerain of the gods, the supreme priest-king, Bravo greets you!"

Bravo looked solemn and saluted respectfully. His character was not so serious at first, but now he was in the key position of vice president of Shenwei University, and was envied and scrutinized by many high-ranking priests, so he had to be cautious and strict.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Are Bravo Priests, priests and senior craftsmen ready?"

"Ready, sovereign priest. The two experimental sites are there."

Bravo smiled and nodded, pointing to the vast campus behind the university.

"According to your previous instructions, the priests and craftsmen have been busy for half a month. The materials and experimental items are all ready for the two experimental sites."

"it is good!"

The king looked around for a while, then smiled and nodded.

"Calling the students of the Shenqi Academy, I want to conduct a public experiment and tell them about the natural principles of the Lord God. Students from other schools can also listen in."

"Follow your decree, suzerain."

Bravo bowed and nodded, and immediately sent several priests and apprentices to pass the message.

Shenwei University uniformly trains priest apprentices for the kingdom. According to the kingdom's priesthood system, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is also divided into: scripture institutes that study astronomy, teachings, scriptures and rituals, historical institutes that study myths, epics, history and literature, mission institutes that study administration, mission, confession and ritual, herbal medicine, War House for medicine, battle and sacrifice, and Shen Qi House for research in machinery, craftsmanship, mystical reactions and the principles of nature.

In simple terms, it is the seminary, the college of literature and history, the college of administration, the college of military affairs and the college of science and technology. The subjects that all colleges have to study are writing and reading, basic teachings and common mathematics.

With the communication of the priest and apprentice, the entire Shenwei University was boiling. Students came from all over the university, wanting to see the face of the priest-king and listen to the teachings of divine revelation. If you can leave a little impression in front of the throne, it is even better.

The Turks girl Elaine fluttered her eyes and ran quickly, accompanied by two guards. She was wearing a ponytail, wearing a white apprentice robe and holding an Ari.

Elaine just entered the most mysterious Shenqiyuan. As the daughter of the chieftain of Tecos, the other academies mean nothing to her. Only the strange creations in the Shenqiyuan are the most fascinating and possess infinite power.

"Furthermore, the only one who taught by the Great Chief Death himself was the Shenqi Academy!"

Elaine smiled brightly, revealing the fighting spirit of a female leopard.

"I must master the most powerful mysterious power in the northern kingdom!"

Thinking of this, the Turks girl quickened her pace and ran to the mysterious field in the school field. For the past half month, there have been loud voices, splendid brilliance, and flying wonders. The guarding warriors are strictly guarded around the venue, and close prying is not allowed. As for the mystery, she was like being scratched by a cat's paw from time to time, curious and in awe.
