v1 Chapter 827: Ministries on the seashore, the problem

The hot sun rises and sets, leaving a day of fiery red and halo on the vast seashore. But when it was getting dark, the temperature difference between day and night, and the air pressure difference between sea and land, set off a strong wind by the sea, blowing people's clothes and feathers flying.

"Eckart, the wind is full of moisture... The rainy season on the seashore is earlier than on the plateau, and it will arrive soon!"

Shulot was wearing a feather crown and a white robe, standing on the hill beside the adobe river. His eyes were deep, looking at both sides of the river, watching the boats coming and going, and the militiamen of the brigade carrying their weight forward...

The young king stared at the eastern sky, and after a long while, he opened his mouth quietly.

"The latest report... Black Wolf Toltek captured Coyote City and captured 30,000 to 40,000 coyote tribes. But the new coyote chief was dying to resist, and at the instigation of the priests of Hidden Snake City, he burned the food stored in the city and burned destroyed half of the city-state...the black wolf slaughtered 5,000 people, executed all the noble chiefs, priests and warriors who resisted, and withdrew the captured tribesmen to Cone House City..."

Hearing this, the chief guard Eckart raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He knew about this letter that had just arrived, but compared to the contents of the letter, he was more concerned about His Highness's reaction than the lives and deaths of thousands of people...

"Patriarch, the climate in the coastal lowlands is warm, and the rainy season comes earlier, so spring plowing is earlier than on the plateau. It's the end of April, and it's the time for spring plowing. The head of the Black Wolf Army retreated to Cone House City, and focused on arranging the spring plowing, and laying down the foundation of the army... No matter for him personally, or for the army of the kingdom, it is a good thing!"

"Well! After so much, Hei Lang has finally grown up! This time, he can choose to retreat instead of taking the risk of going east, and patiently farm in Zhuowu City... I am very relieved! After I return to the west, I can finally Don't worry, leave the Totonac seashore to him to manage!..."

Hearing Eckart's persuasion, Shulot raised a faint smile on his face. His chief guard has such an ability, no matter what he says or does, he can not only hit the point, but also make him feel at ease. However, Xiulot's smile only lasted for a moment. When more thoughts flooded in, he couldn't help frowning again, and asked in a deep voice.

"Eckart, the black wolf wants to farm in Zhuiwu City and ask me for food and people. The coastal tribes with more than 50,000 surrendered have to reclaim 300,000 acres of land, plus tens of thousands of legions maintained... The military rations for 10,000 people, the rations for 50,000 people, and the 300,000 mu of crops, most of them have to be transported from the rear! The front line will not be able to breathe a sigh of relief until the pumpkins are harvested half a year later..."

"We are also responsible for the farmland around Jinwan City, the rations of more than 100,000 tribes, and the growing grain of more than 500,000 mu of land... Is the grain transported from Zhan Snake City in the rear enough?"

"The Lord God testifies that there is enough food! Jinwan City surrendered, and all the food in stock was handed over intact, which is enough for 120,000 people to save food for half a year! As long as there is no large-scale war mobilization, and no army of 10,000 people is dispatched , and then deliver half a year's rations for 100,000 people from the rear... It won't be a big problem until the autumn harvest!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, spoke softly with a smile on his face.

"Patriarch, clench your fists and close your hands back, in order to swing out more powerfully! Now you are sitting in Jinwan City, supervising the spring plowing of all ministries, and no one dares to slack off. As long as this year's spring plowing is done well, wait until after the autumn harvest , the hearts of the ministries will also be stabilized. In half a year, the Dongfang Shipbuilding Department should have built hundreds of catamarans for transportation to maintain the grain roads behind... By that time, the grain will be sufficient, and the ministries will return to their hearts. Maintaining the food road is when the army continues to advance eastward!"

"That's right! The food handed over after the surrender of Jinwan City is indeed crucial to the Kingdom's army. In this regard, the snake mother chief Miyawa has merit..."

Hearing this, Shulot nodded affirmatively. Then, he stretched out his hand, rubbed the swollen eyebrows, and said in a deep voice.

"Food is sufficient, all ministries return to their hearts, and the navy maintains the food road...Eckart, every sentence you said is on the point!..."

"Sufficient food depends on this year's spring plowing. In April on the seashore, spring plowing can already start! Are all the tribes resettled ready?"

"Well... Patriarch, the 80,000 Totonac tribes in the forty miles around Jinwan City have been thoroughly sorted out. Under the command of the kingdom's priests and warriors, their spring plowing is all arranged according to the camps in the fields. That's right..."

"Forty miles around? Eighty thousand tribes?"

Hearing this, Shulot frowned. He knew the unfinished intention of the head of the guard, and asked him sternly.

"More than 100,000 tribes can only guarantee spring farming for 80,000 people? Forty miles around Jinwan City? What about forty miles away?"

"Uh... Patriarch, the kingdom's army is suppressing here, and even the Totonac tribe, forty miles away, will obey your king's order! They will definitely plow in spring on time, and they also need the grain and rations provided by the kingdom. It's just more More management, more detailed control... Our priests accompanying the army have already used it to the extreme, and it is indeed not enough..."

The head of the guard, Eckart, replied cautiously and respectfully.

"In the current situation, the management of the fields of various ministries is to set up a small flag team for every 400 people, and arrange more than ten kingdom headquarters or surrendered Totonak warriors to govern. Every ten small flag teams form 4,000 people The banner of God, arrange more than ten priests and deacons of the main god, control and educate people's hearts..."

"Managing 80,000 people in this way means 200 banner teams, placing more than 2,000 warriors, and more than 200 priests... All the way to the east, after the test of faith, there are still many reliable warriors who surrendered. However, those who are proficient in calculation and able to command There are indeed not enough priests and deacons for farming..."

"So in the Jinwan City area, besides the 80,000 people under complete control, the remaining 30,000 to 40,000 seaside tribes, the kingdom only dispatched warriors under its jurisdiction, and roughly set up a flag team. These tribes will obey the king's orders, Farming, but the effect of their farming is hard to say... After all, the cultivation level of the seaside tribes has always been worse than that of the plateau tribes..."

Hearing the chief guard's explanation, Shulot rubbed his brows and fell silent. The current problem is actually one: the kingdom has a serious shortage of manpower to manage the fields!

The army conquered the land of Totonac, completely dismantled the various tribes, set up a banner team, and completely brought it under control, which required many low-level managers. To properly arrange the various flag teams and carry out large-scale farming requires a large number of talents who are proficient in mathematics and agriculture. Now, the grassroots managers can still use surrendered warriors, but priests who are proficient in mathematics and agriculture are really not enough!

In the final analysis, although the harvest of farming is huge, it is actually a military and political affairs with a high degree of organization and high management requirements. A high degree of organization means the participation of a disciplined army, and a high level of management requires talents who have mastered the culture.

"I was able to farm in the Patzcuaro Lake area, relying on the elite alliance legion, a large number of young priests... and most importantly, the new officials of the sage Jatiri in the centralized kingdom of Tlaxcala. The compromise and acceptance of the group!…”

The sun sets and the moon rises from the sea. Shulot stared at the distant seashore, watching the magnificent sky gradually darken, and many memories flooded his mind. After ten years of governing the kingdom, he has a deeper understanding of the operation of political power. He can also see more and more clearly the truth behind those social appearances.

"I was able to farm in the land of Tlaxcala because of the brutal killings of the alliance, which ensured the obedience of all ministries. And the young priests from the states of the alliance, as well as the Kingdom's Shenwei University, became the management of the farm. The backbone... Of course, there is also the warrior captain Bertard, with a group of guards who can read and write, busy day and night..."

"At this moment, the Kingdom is conquering the land of Totonac. There are only 20,000 people before and after the headquarters, but they want to conquer thousands of miles of seaside! If you keep all the ministries as they are, and just let them submit and obey, then you can do it with strong force. However, I want to completely dismantle all the ministries, set up a banner team, completely bring it under control, and even organize garrison fields... How can I do it with these insufficiently disciplined warriors and insufficient number of priests accompanying the army?"

Thinking of this, Shulot paused. With a solemn expression, he asked himself in his heart.

"The establishment of in-depth rule relies on people, who are reliable and capable grassroots backbones! Since I want to rule the Totonac seashore in depth, completely gather people's hearts, and control hundreds of thousands of seaside tribes...then, these masters of culture are responsible Where do the bottom management people come from?..."

The sea breeze blew by, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttered. The king was silent for a long time, and fell into long-term thinking. The guard chief Eckart next to him lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. He knew the king's troubles and thought of a solution. It's just that he knows better that he must not open his mouth for such a big matter, and he has to let the king himself decide.

"Let's go! It's getting dark..."

After a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ Xiulot raised his head. His eyes were deep and bloodshot, and his gaze was as cold as a knife.

"I'm a bit hungry and want to go back to eat fish and eat the most delicious bay redfish."

"Yes, Patriarch!"

"Eckart, I'm going to drink after the fish."

"ah?"

"I want to drink while watching the beauties dance!... You arrange it, just like last time."

"Yes! Patriarch!"

The moon has risen, and the sea breeze has become stronger. Hundreds of warriors killed silently, guarding the raised king's flag, and headed towards the camp outside Jinwan City. And there, delicious food, wine and beauties are all waiting docilely, a hearty indulgence.
