The spring rain is falling, and the storm on the seaside is always more urgent than on the plateau. The reclaimed soil was already soft and out of shape, and the busy spring plowing lasted for nearly a month. When the spring plowing in Jinwan City ended at the end of May, the 120,000 Totonac tribes planted more than 600,000 mu of farmland. Xiulot, who personally supervised the cultivation, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The spring plowing work was done very well, and as long as the autumn harvest came, the kingdom's food problem in the coastal areas would be solved easily. the

The spring is in full bloom, shining brightly on the wide shore. He walked out of the tent, and led the woman with unsteady steps, looking at the endless coast in the distance, and the green fields on the plain. At this moment, the bright sunshine fell from the clouds, and the hot feeling seemed to come to summer all at once.

"I'm busy with the spring plowing, summer is coming soon... and the peak of the rainy season is just around the corner!..."

Under the bright spring light, Miyawa wrapped a large white robe and held a roll of paper books. At first glance, she looked like a deacon in farming. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her face was full of brilliance, like grass after a spring rain bath, which seemed to be able to pinch water.

"Your Highness... the marriages of all the noble ladies have been properly arranged... After the spring plowing is completed, the assistant priests in the fields all over the country have leisure, and many people have made requests... They want to go one step further, get closer to the glory of the main god, and go to Snake City to build a new one. In the seminary of God, receive the teaching of the doctrine of the Lord God..."

Hearing this, Shulot frowned. He took the book in the woman's hand, looked at it for a while, and closed it calmly. As the western holy land of the Totonac people, Snake New City has always had an important religious status. After the alliance conquered this holy city, it also rebuilt a brand new temple of the main **** on the destroyed Feathered Serpent Temple, and established a small seminary to train local priests in the land of Totonac.

If the surrendered Totonak "deacons" want to go further, they will undoubtedly have a smooth path to rise by receiving training in the seminary and officially becoming priests of the main god.

"Miawa, it is the duty of the chief priest of the sea, Yicui, to select the priest of Totonac. Give him the list, and after he has tested the deacons on the list, he will naturally make a choice!"

Shulot glanced at Miawa lightly, with a stern look in his eyes. Miawa lowered her head in fear, scolded the "ruthless" man in her heart, and then exhorted in a low voice.

"Your Majesty's benevolent and majestic Highness... Chief Priest Yi Cui wants to recruit a group of young priest apprentices, and slowly cultivate their pious beliefs according to the traditional five-year education of the alliance. But the current situation of the seaside..."

"I think the kingdom always needs to accept a group of former priests and sages and give them a way to rise up... After all, their right to speak in the tribe still remains in the hearts of many tribal people. And gaining their support can Let the roots of the kingdom's rule go deeper..."

Hearing this, Shulot turned his head, glanced at the cautious Miawa, and fell silent. He understood the thoughts of Chief Priest Yi Cui. The other party came from the Inquisition, so the requirements for priests' faith and piety were naturally very high. Therefore, Chief Priest Yi Cui prefers a blank sheet of Totonac young apprentices to fully write the beliefs of the Lord God.

The request made by Miawa is the political appeal of the elites of various ministries in Totonac. After obtaining the status of the deacon of Tuntian and joining the ruling class of the kingdom, these original Totonac elites showed amazing enthusiasm.

The 120,000 Totonak tribe was able to establish a flag team, and the successful completion of the farmland around Jinwan City was inseparable from the dedicated dedication of these local "deacons". After the elites of these various ministries have made great achievements, they naturally want to go further and move up from the bottom of the ruling class.

"Recruitment quota for Totonac priests...Young apprentices and deacons..." 羷

Shulot stroked his chin, thinking seriously. Before the appearance of Miava, he had never received requests from the various priests and sages. This is not to say that the elites in Totonac do not have political demands and do not want to gain more political rights. It's just that, as their conquered people, they have no direct communication channels with the upper echelons of the kingdom.

Therefore, when Miawa appeared by the king's side as a default identity and participated in the politics of the seaside... In just one month, a Totonak political faction was immediately established around her!

The priests, sages and heads of all the tribes of Totonak flocked to her side. The local elites finally have a political spokesperson who can directly speak out in the upper echelons of the kingdom. No matter what strange occasions or joyous occasions this kind of sound is made, it will eventually be heard by the king.

Politics is the art of compromise. To be able to hear the voices of local elites, accept them, and participate in the rule of the seaside is undoubtedly a good thing that can stabilize the rule! As for selectively satisfying their demands while making new demands in reverse, it is a reasonable political exchange...

"The number of priests in Snake City is 50-50. Half of them will train pious young apprentices, and the other half will train obedient priests and sages. I will tell Chief Priest Yi Cui, and we will handle it in this way in the future..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiulot made a decision. He stared at the delighted woman beside him with his sharp eyes, and spoke lightly.

"However, the priests and sages of the original ministries must prove their piety after being promoted to the preaching priests of the main god! They have to go deep into the jungle and guide those who are not incorporated into the banner team, but only superficially surrender, and even wander outside the kingdom's rule, loose The inland tribes... let more Totonak people integrate into the ruling order of the kingdom!..."

"The army of the kingdom has gone deep along the river and reached the jungle two hundred miles to the southwest, forcing 70,000 to 80,000 tribes in the feathered bird city to surrender, and held a strict conversion blood oath! However, although the tribes around the feathered bird city have already converted to the main god, the kingdom But they couldn't find enough priests to manage them in the jungle, set up a banner team, and even organize farms... Not to mention, three hundred miles to the southwest, the tribes of Tuhe City who surrendered to the kingdom in name... These vast and complex internal The land of land is the place where local priests who are familiar with tribal culture, proficient in various languages, and adapt to the jungle climate can show their ability and piety!"

"Of course, as long as they do well, the kingdom will never be stingy with rewards. If they can convert a medium-sized tribe with a thousand people or a large tribe with ten thousand people, they can be promoted and become a second-level city-state priest who manages the tribe, and even become a master. A third-level diocesan dean in charge!"

"Ah? Go deep into the jungle, guide the inland tribes, and integrate into the kingdom's rule?"

Hearing this, Miawa's smile stagnated, and she was surprised. Such a difficult promotion channel is very different from what she imagined and what the "assistants" in Tuntian wanted. She opened her seductive mouth and wanted to say something, but the king pinched her face, and she could only utter a low moan.

"Your Highness!..."

"Myawa, tell them what I said! I will give them a chance to climb, but only those who devote themselves to the Lord God can climb the high pyramids! Of course, if they are smart enough and familiar with craftsman's skills, Being able to pass the assessment of the Divine Enlightenment Institute, and also become a divinely inspired priest... That is another smooth path, not limited to one's background, only depends on wisdom and ability..."

"Yes...to obey you..."

"Miyawa~lightnovelpub.net~ You have spoken too many times for the ministries of Totonac recently!... You are a smart person, but it is only the first time you have real power, and you can't tell the difference between the master and the slave... "

"You must always remember that no matter how the elites of the various tribes flatter you, how much they plead...you must grasp them, hold them in your hands, let them prostrate before you, and become their masters! And you Master, the source of your power is me!"

Hearing such an admonition, Miawa stood there for a long time, with a rare dazed look in her eyes. She thought for a while, then nodded slowly, like an ant climbing up a pyramid, and finally saw the high scenery. Then, a blush could be seen on her beautiful face, and water dripped from her eyes charmingly.

"Your Highness... you said... grasp them, hold them in your hands, make them prostrate in front of you, and become their masters..."

"Um."

"You are my master."

"Huh?"

"Hold me... Hold me in your hands... Let me crawl before you..."

"Huh?! Here?"

Shulot opened his eyes wide, looking at the vast fields, as well as the woods and grass after the rain. The accumulated water after the rain converges into a small blue lake, and the bright spring light shines on the small lake, reflecting the people on the shore.

"Why, my master... are you afraid?"

"..."

Xiulot didn't answer, but just waved his hand. The warriors of the personal guard scattered in all directions, and the lakeside of the field shone with waves. On the empty fields in the distance, the busy spring plowing has ended. The tender kidney beans sprouted and entangled with the tall corn. The seeds of the pumpkin are deep and shallow, spreading over the fertile soil. This is the season of spring, and there will be the singing of spring birds. And the reflected figure disappeared in the singing~
