Chapter 232: Pampering (Part 1)
The overall situation has been settled and has become more calm. Fang Xin issued a divine metaphor and asked the church to cooperate with the True King.
God said, "You must respect the king, and you must know that he is the ruler of the earth. If there are sacrifices, peace of the people, blessings, baptisms, and atonement, you must not refuse. But you must know that you must not participate in the inner struggle of the king. You retreat and wait a few steps unless this king is not the king."
After receiving this divine parable, the church is increasingly cooperating.
After the Botel City War, Visi and Moore's prestige grew higher and a series of wars began
In April of the 78th year of the Glorious Calendar, the Criley City War was launched and conquered
In March of the 79th year of the Glorious Calendar, conquered Cook City
In August of the 80th year of the Glorious Secretariat, seven nearby city-states were terrified and joined forces to carry out a battle, with 30,000 to 30,000. As a result, Weisi and Moore cooperated and defeated in one fell swoop, forcing all seven city-states to surrender.
In October of the 86th year of the Glorious History, the second city-state battle was fought against 30,000 and 60,000. It was still a great victory, and it swept across 11 city-states.
At this time, it had occupied a quarter of the mainland's territory, but the accumulated military and financial resources also reached the consumption limit.
Under the opposition of the nobles, Vishi had to temporarily quit the army to accumulate the next step of strength.
Except for the first war in Botel City, Visi did not massacre, so the population controlled quickly expanded to about two million.
A large number of nobles emerged during the war, and Weixi's confidant subordinates were able to establish merits and impart their feudals to various places. Therefore, his power was also increasing step by step.
Correspondingly, Moore's reputation as a prophet is also at its peak
Time flies, another ten years are coming in a blink of an eye
During the ten years of cultivation, Weixi began to explore and establish the Wang Ting. According to Fang Xin's eyes, it began to have the prototype of an orderly state power - dividing administrative regions, adding various official positions, regulating and collecting taxes.
In order to strengthen one's majesty and stay away from the main land of the glory, he moved the capital to the former Botel City. After all, the land here is fertile. Due to the massacre that year, it was a land without a border, so it can be rebuilt.
Therefore, the construction of a large number of constructions, the magnificent city walls, and the establishment of special defense castles outside the city were very powerful, so the planning was neat.
In response to this, the Radiant Church, according to the nature of the matter, generally maintains silence, neutrality and tendency to support both. It has not made any objection to this move that is obviously independent and royal power.
It took Visi, according to his own layout, to build the temple and the palace, which took eleven years.
Although this cost is huge, the kingdom has not affected the development of the country because of the feudal system. The nobles who hold real power in various places are busy developing their own territory, and their economy and population are developing rapidly.
In the 97th year of the glorious period, the magnificent capital was officially completed, and the country was booming. It was time for a new round of war. In that year, Visie was forty-four and Moore was forty
At this moment, a young girl grew up first, she was the daughter of Sister Moore and his niece.
Moore never married for life and had no descendants. Her sister was the priest of the goddess of agriculture, but she couldn't help getting married and gave birth to two sons and two daughters. However, this youngest daughter named Melfi was particularly valued by Moore.
Brack City
Although the capital has moved, since it is a coastal city, it has bird droppings and fisheries, it has not greatly affected the city. It is still one of the prosperous cities.
Over the years, as Moore's reputation and achievements grew, of course, he has also received a large number of territorial gifts, with a total of up to 1,000 Isha, which is unprecedented.
Moore made four distributions of the territory, the first was to dedicate it to the church, the second was to the subordinates who followed him, the second was to the relatives, of course, mainly his sister's family, and finally to the priests and other talented free people.
Don't take it all by yourself
Melfi was young and obtained a 50-item territory and a title of "Second Ins" for this.
This Melfi is Wu Yan. She is now in the third level, but she is following her experience
Even after development, there are still many hills and forests here.
This town is her territory, near Brack City
A fertile land along the coast with abundant rainfall all year round. On the 50 Isha land, the population is only one thousand, but the crops are planted, fishing, and timber business are also free and comfortable.
As slaves have gradually become tenants over the years, although they have no personal freedom and cannot leave their territory at will, it is also the progress of the times.
Just the harvest in Ishatin, Melfi is more than enough to support himself, as well as 30 soldiers and three samurai, not to mention the commercial taxes.
There are bird droppings nearby. Except for the two private territories occupied by Iasi, the other ones, after discovering the benefits of bird droppings, the nobles and the royal family quarreled, and later they had to become public territories to mine together.
These bird droppings were transported from the island. After passing here, with the arrival of many merchants, the place became more prosperous.
Hotels, restaurants, and various shops are also generated, so the commercial tax collected is naturally good
However, due to the smell of bird droppings, although there is a lord's mansion in the town, she never lived there, and Wu Yan's home is not far away, on a hill.
This hill is only fifty meters high, with charming scenery and quiet
Wu Yan obtained this territory when she was eight years old. She was also wise and ordered the hills to be burned down with fire, and then sorted out the roads, planted flowers and fruits, and built mansions in the fertile ashes. Now, there are scenery here all year round, attracting many nobles to come and visit. Today, several guests came, including her mother, two brothers and one sister.
Although Wu Yan was the owner, he stayed on the lawn in front of the mansion.
The autumn sun is bright and not too hot
There is a table made of high-quality purple jade wood on the lawn, which is fresh and fragrant, and can be stored for hundreds of years without rotting.
From the silver tableware and various pastries on the table, you can know that diet has begun to evolve now, of course, this aspect is indispensable to the influence of Iaisi back then.
The ladies gathered together, they were all relatives
The long-term stable and wealthy life made Mrs. Jess forget the tragedy twenty years ago. She did not have the ability to see her parents being killed by closing her eyes, but remembered her blood feud. She is both a descendant of the Sun God and a high priest, a forty-one-year-old woman, and still maintains her appearance at age thirty.
But she also had something to worry about: "I heard that King Weixi had built the capital and was going to go to war again?"
"Yes, it is said that the expedition order will be issued this year." A young lady also said worriedly. This was Kenlan, the wife of the eldest son Felke: "I don't know how many years this war will take."
War is undoubtedly a tragic event. The winning father, brother, husband, son, come back with slaves, wealth, and land, of course, is worthy of celebration.
But even if the fallen ones are compensated, it will be difficult to make up for this grief
Unfortunately, women are powerless to do anything about it
"Your Felke is now a high-level warrior, in charge of thousands of people. Generally speaking, there will be no problem. But my Tansi is not..." Another younger, beautiful young woman said, this is Clari, the wife of the second son.
"Okay, okay, these things are men's affairs, don't say much, and with my brother Moore's care, it should not be a problem... What are your arrangements for Blour and Combs? They are about to turn six, and they will choose a study program in the future." Jess comforted his daughter-in-law and comforted her daughter-in-law.
"I want them to enter the temple to be priests and warriors. Whether they are priests, temple warriors, or paladins, they do not directly participate in mortal wars. I don't want me to be older in the future and worry about my son going to war." Mrs. Kenlan had already thought about it and said.
"But I heard that the rules of the church temple are very strict, and it is very hard to send them over." Wu Yan's sister Elmer said.
"The warrior training is still hard." Kenlan's opinion was firm.
"Yes, even the training of ordinary warriors is very hard. However, it is difficult to select temple warriors and paladins, let alone priests. Moreover, priests do not directly participate in mortal wars, so it is difficult to obtain generous rewards. Lord Mur is a miracle in the world, and God's blessings are hard to be received." Lmore said.
"Our family has a territory and no longer needs to trade a man's life for it." Clary seemed weak, but she insisted on this point: "I can't change my man, but I can change my son."
"It's better for Melfi, but I heard you want to be the inner priestess of the Lord of Glory?"
Speaking of this, all the women looked at her
Wu Yan had already had faith, that was the great Houtu. Of course, she could pray to Houtu and believe in it, and Fang Xin would also give the magic skills.
This is special care
Originally, the Sun God's Sun Virgin served the Sun God as the Sun Princess, and was the father's husband, and remained chaste for the rest of his life. Since Fang Xin did not make any major reforms, everything went with the flow. This custom changed and formed a priestess in the inner palace.
There are two types of priestesses, one is that they can marry and have children, which is an ordinary priestess.
One is to keep chaste priestess in the inner temple
In fact, Fang Xin treats everyone equally, and only uses piety and merit to distinguish the level of clergy.
But those inner priestesses who devoted themselves to God, who were not only good at talking about merits, were indeed more pious, so they gave more power according to the principle of faith - this caused mortals to misunderstand that God liked this.
If you choose the inner priestess, you cannot get married and have children. Although the divine metaphor clearly states that once the inner priestess who have fallen in love can be converted to the outer priestess to get married, but in faith and vows, this rarely happens.
Since she is the priestess in the inner palace, she will have no husband and children. How will her territory be handled in the future?
Unconsciously, the ladies present looked over, and even relatives would have this idea.
