In April, the spring is deep, and the warbler sings thousands of miles away. The green grass and trees grow in the endless fields, 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 of the surrounding fields, he will forget the troubled times he is in.

After the first rain fell, the pink cicadas smiled for the first time in the gentle water town, welcoming the return of the king in victory. The black smoke of burning waste rose from the villages in military and civilian villages, and the singing of busy farming was loud and clear in the new fields that were reclaimed. The season of spring plowing has arrived, and the entire lake kingdom is full of vitality amid hard work.

Shulot led the Imperial Guard Corps northward from the mouth of the Talsas River, and first stopped in the city of Kuramo for a day. He ordered veteran Etalik to concentrate manpower and material resources and give priority to the development of the Heiyanshan Iron Mine in Hekou. Then, he made a slight detour and stayed in the Chinganbat mining area for a day, 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 Hekou iron ore.

The southern part of the kingdom finally calmed down. Whether it was the Prepecha farmers who were incorporated into the Mintun, or the Tekos tribesmen who were incorporated into the flag team, they were all busy with spring plowing. This is the top priority of the year, which determines the survival of food and clothing for the next year.

Ezpan sent messengers to report that thousands of southwestern tribes poured out from the Koalkoman Mountains and surrendered to the king's army on the Apa Plain. If they finished eating the grain, if they didn't want to starve to death, they could only submit to the kingdom and be incorporated into the banner team village.

It took a month like this before Xiuluote returned to Qincongcan King's Capital from the river mouth seven hundred miles away. He immediately met with the chief minister, Jatiri, and told the situation of the southern campaign in the sage's exclamation, and entrusted the kingdom's government affairs. Because, he will 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 First Long Spear Corps guarded Hekou County, the Gyeonggi Corps guarded Gyeonggi, the Second Long Spear Corps guarded Apa County, and the Zicao Corps guarded Zicao County. The Guajili Army returned to Hekou County to rest and was ready to be called up again at any time. The Praetorian Guard will accompany the king to the alliance in early June.

After arranging everything, Xiu Luote settled down and started to prepare the congratulatory gifts to the alliance.

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

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

"First is a congratulatory gift to the alliance, 20 boxes of jade, 20 boxes of obsidian, 20 boxes of copper, 20 boxes of gold, 20 boxes of silver, and 20 boxes of gems... Well, this time, instead of using Prepecha gems, use Prepecha Traditional gemstones exchanged for gemstones.”

In Mesoamerican cultures, 20 is an auspicious number, the number of days in a solar calendar month, and symbolizes a sacred assembly. And 18 is the number of months in the solar calendar, symbolizing different divinities.

"Then comes the royal gift, 18 pieces of purple sand pottery, 18 pieces of agarwood furniture, 18 boxes of exquisite cotton cloth, 18 boxes of feathered clothes, 18 bundles of herbs and spices... all the treasured luxury goods are counted!"

Shulot picked up a pen and sketched in large strokes in the kingdom's inventory, so as to be both precious and precious, and to have sufficient quantities.

"Then there are tributes to the king, 365 pairs of bronze cloth face armor, 365 bronze Qin sword handles, and 365 five hundred longbows..."

Similarly, the number of days every year is 365, which is also an auspicious number. Then, Shulot paused for a moment, blinked his eyes, hesitated for a while, thought of his grandfather's hint, and wrote it down.

"Add 36 Tiger Crouching Cannons and 4 Condor Cannons!"

The Cannon Casting Bureau can cast 1 Condor Cannon and 10 Tiger Crouching Cannons every month. In the half year since the king went south, the inventory of the tiger squatting cannon has increased by sixty or seventy, and it is not distressing to take out 36. The real pain for Schlott is the Condor cannon. The casting success rate of this 2-pound cannon is too low.

"Finally, it's a gift for Alyssa! First of all, a travel book drawn by me, recording what I have seen and heard in the north and south of the kingdom; hundreds of strange flowers and plants, collected from the northern wilderness and southern mountains; a fist The largest and largest fire opal, with a sunset-like flame inside, is a tribute from the chief of Colima. Well, the Colima mountain area is originally one of the world's most famous sources of rare opals."

Opal is a colorful gemstone that is solidified from molten silica deposits, similar to amber to some extent, but the conditions for its formation are harsher. Before the discovery of Opal in Australia, the world's rarest Opal origin was in the southwestern mountains of the kingdom.

"... plus a 60-carat pigeon blood ruby ​​from the trade of the Mixtecs; a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets from the tribute of the Mayan merchants... haha, girls should like these bright Shiny jewels. By the way, there are two unique surprises in the new era!"

Thinking of the girl like a cloud, Shulot smiled sincerely. The value of these gifts in later generations is immeasurable, but to the king of the lake kingdom, they are not so precious. What Wang Wang cared most about were those two surprises of the new era, which required him to personally participate in the production. After scribbling for a while, he put down the pen and paper, took a few personal guards, and headed for Shenwei University.

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

Compared with when it was first established, the scale of the university has expanded a lot. The number of students enrolled each year is around 200. These people come from a wide range of sources, 40% are descendants of nobles and priests at all levels, 30% are from various warrior families, 20% are merchants and civilians and their children, and 10% are descendants of noble chieftains from Ottomi states. Now, at the request of the king, the various ministries of Terkos will also send the children of the noble chiefs to accept the education of the kingdom.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, this Shenwei University is a real road to heaven. As long as you can enter the university, it means you have the status of a reserve priest, and you have become a reserve member of the ruling class since then.

The king came to Shenwei University with light clothes and dozens of guards. The vice president of the university and the third-level officiant, Bravo, have been waiting for a long time.

"Blessed by the Lord God! The suzerain priest of the divine revelation, the supreme priest king, Bravo salutes you!"

Bravo looked solemn and saluted respectfully. His personality is not so solemn, but now he is in the key position of vice president of Shenwei University, envied and scrutinized by many high priests, so he has to be cautious and strict.

"Bless the lord! Are Bravo's priests, priests and senior craftsmen ready?"

"Get ready, Sovereign Priest. The two experimental sites are right 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 two experimental sites, materials and experimental objects are all ready."

"good!"

The king watched for a while, smiled and nodded.

"Call the students of the Divine Enlightenment Institute. I will conduct an open experiment and tell them the natural principles of the main god. Students from other institutes can also listen in."

"Follow your decree, Patriarch."

Bravo bowed and nodded, and immediately asked the following apprentice priests to communicate.

Shinway University trains apprentice priests for the kingdom. According to the priesthood system of the kingdom, it is also divided into: the School of Classics and Literature for studying astronomy, religious law, scriptures and rituals, the School of History for studying mythology, epic, history and literature, and the School for studying administration, The missionary school for preaching, confession and sacrifice, the war school for studying herbal medicine, medical treatment, combat and sacrifice, and the divine enlightenment school for studying equipment, engineering, mysterious reactions and natural principles.

To understand it simply, it is the School of Theology, the School of Literature and History, the School of Administration, the School of Military Affairs and the School of Science and Technology. The subjects that are required to be studied in all colleges are literacy, basic teaching and common mathematics.

With the introduction of priest apprentices, the entire Shenwei University boiled. Students came from all over the university, wanting to see the face of the priest king and listen to the teachings of God. If you can leave a little impression in front of the throne, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is even better.

Elaine, a Tekos girl with flashing eyes, came running swiftly, accompanied by two guards. She wears a ponytail, a white apprentice robe, and holds a book of Ali in her hand.

Not long after Yi Lian entered school, she entered the most mysterious Divine Enlightenment Institute. As the daughter of Chief Terkos, the other academies are meaningless to her. Only the strange creations in Shenqiyuan are the most fascinating and possess infinite power.

"Also, the only one taught by the Great Chief Death God himself is the Shenqiyuan!"

Yi Lian smiled brightly, revealing her fighting spirit like a leopard.

"I must master the most powerful mysterious power in the Northern Kingdom!"

Thinking of this, the Terkos girl quickened her pace and ran towards the mysterious place in the school grounds. For the past half month, there have often been loud sounds, brilliant lights, and flying wonders there. The garrison warriors strictly guarded around the site, and no close peeping was allowed. For the mystery, she felt like being scratched by a cat's paw from time to time, curious and in awe.
