Yuanzai is busy canceling the slave household registration of the slaves. Many slaves have become free agents, but the condition for becoming free agents is to work here. After all, more than a month of on-the-job training cannot be wasted.
Now, the twenty-odd slaves here have all become freedmen, and have become craftsmen in the clay tablet contract of the Lagash city-state.
The next step is to ask King Gudea for a group of workers to build the foundation of Tianfang.
Tianfang City is relatively far away from Lagash. It goes upstream along the Tigris River to the north. The flow direction of the Tigris River in this era is different from that in later generations. Therefore, in the fork in the middle section, choose the small tributary on the left to reach Baghdad.
place.
Baghdad is not a city-state, but a small tribe, and because this area is under oppression and war from many parties, there are not many locals living here now.
However, it was precisely due to the many wars that different people from the tribes came to settle. In this chaotic situation, it became a "natural village" in the true sense.
The Sumerian region was in the era of nations transitioning from the tribal era to the imperial era. There were many city-states, and this situation had been maintained for a long time. It was only during the long-term turmoil that various villages appeared, but these villages were often composed of several tribes or groups.
Where clans gather together, they are not divided into independent small families. This small family state only exists in city-states.
And Baghdad is now a city-state-like situation. The relationship between people is not close. People gather here just for survival needs, so a real natural village has been formed. From a social perspective, this Baghdad village
It is very advanced, but the social form cannot be used as food, at least not here in Baghdad Village.
In the early stages of the formation of natural villages, there were also many problems. The most obvious one was that they were not as cohesive as clan villages. Once problems occurred, natural villages could easily disintegrate and disappear.
"Baghdad is eighty miles northeast of the city-state of Kish. Crossing the tributaries of the Tigris River and continuing to walk north-east, you can see the main trunk of the Tigris River. At the same time, on the east bank of the river, the city of Ur is located
Therefore, this city-state was once one of several capital city-states of the Sumerian dynasty, but now it is the capital of the Kutian dynasty, and the Kutian people rule here."
"Directly north of Baghdad, there are Akkadian activities, but because the Akkadians are busy fighting with the Kuti people, trying to regain the city-state and territory, there is a lot of friction on the border."
"In general, Baghdad is not a safe place, but because it is too poor and has no strategic value, it has become an indisputable place for military strategists."
He marked on the map the locations of the city-states of Kish and Ur, as well as the borders where the Akkadians and Kutians fought.
In fact, there is the Tigris River as a natural moat to the east, Kish to the southwest, and Lagash to the south. With the strong support of Sumer, if this Tianfang city is built in the Baghdad area, there will still be a lot of fighting.
It is an advantageous, forward-type pioneer fortress.
King Gudea met with Yuzai and briefly mentioned the matter of Enhaiduana, and then sent a professional dusting team to work for Yuzai.
Although Lagash is a city of war, in fact during the reign of King Urbaba and King Gudea, Lagash basically did not engage in foreign wars, but focused on restoring people's livelihood, production, economy, and opening up.
The theme is trade and commerce, and it also helps other city-states with the construction and maintenance of buildings.
Yes, Lagash has the most professional civil engineering guy in Sumer.
"My Umia! I'm not bragging, I'm telling you, after all the city-states became independent or recovered, their temples were built for them by our Lagash craftsmen!"
"Even the great temple of Susa of the Elamites was built with our help! The Temple of the Moon worshiped by the Kutians was also built with our help. The mud bricks are all made in Lagash."
"Just pay and do it."
King Gudea was very proud of this vessel.
In this year, he has the title of No. 1 in civil engineering. This was built by actually building the temple. Other city-state teams either took a long time to build, or the process was cumbersome, or the quality was not up to standard, but Lagash
The civil engineering guy is quick and professional in dusting, and the price is only a little more expensive than other companies. When the price/performance ratio is extremely good, it is most sensible to choose their outsourcing team.
Therefore, during the era when the King of the Ancient Earth ruled, due to his infrastructure attributes, a large number of civil engineering men in other city-states were unemployed... And because he built a large number of high-end temples, he was also dubbed "" by the kings of other city-states.
The Glory of Mesopotamia" and the title of "Gudea the Noble Architect".
Gudiya showed off to Yuzai: "My Umia! In terms of architecture and...'dusting', Lagash is the best in the world! Even in the land of the East, I firmly believe that there is no better
We are better at beating people up!"
Yu Zai: "Why do you know how to say duster? Don't learn weird vocabulary."
"With your current level, you are not qualified to talk about being beaten to ashes!"
Gudiya: "?!"
He was taken aback, and Yuzai smiled slightly: "I will let you know what a real infrastructure builder is!"
So he raised a finger and shook it.
"How long do you think it will take for Tianfang City to be built according to my design?"
Gudea: "For such a huge city, it will take at least two and a half years to complete the outer walls and the construction of the inner houses. These are not included in the time."
"It's too slow. It only takes me three months to build a city!"
Yu Zai made bold words, and Gudiya's eyes widened. Of course he didn't believe it.
And Yu Zai told him, if you don't believe it... Of course, you can't count the time now. You will believe it when Dongfang's professional dusting team arrives here.
Tall buildings rise from the ground, and glory can only depend on yourself!
"Build a city to protect the king, and build an outline to protect the people!"
Although Yu Zai boasted about his own infrastructure properties and wanted to make an infrastructure bet with King Gudiya, the necessary workers still needed to be brought over from Lagash.
"I sent part of the army to protect your land. The city of Uruk previously declared war on King Kuti of Ur city, but they have not sent the army. It has been several months..."
"So, you still have to be careful about the situation near Baghdad, but I think that in order to obtain a large amount of supplies, even if they use soldiers, they will go to the city-state of Kish for supplies and will not go to Baghdad..."
Yuzai expressed his gratitude to King Gudiya.
At the same time, I am preparing to leave, returning to the East for a short time, bringing with me some development and planning manpower, Wen Ming, the governor of Tianfang, is finally ready to start work!
