Aztec Eternals Chapter 433

The sun slanted slightly westward and fell into the priest's hall. The incense in the censer had been burned out, and a high priest was about to add it, but the high priest waved his hand. Although the breath of the gods makes people comfortable, it is not a good thing to breathe too much.

"Count the time, the arrest in Tracopan has already begun."

The high priest smiled calmly, stood up, went to the priest's apse, and had some simple snacks.

Shulot sat cross-legged in the hall, carefully checking the alliance's household registration and the number of fields.

These numbers are carefully collected by village priests in various places, and estimated by local tribute conventions, and they are counted layer by layer. Obviously, the accuracy of these numbers will not be very high. But in this era, they are important and rare secrets, the basis for ruling the country, and it also reflects the power of the central government to control the locality. Apart from the centralized alliances and kingdoms, the remaining ministries in the world probably don't even have such rough numbers.

"God bless the Mexica Alliance and rule the world... The Great Temple is in the world, and the surrounding 180 miles is Gyeonggi, which is directly under the Union. It is a fertile valley bestowed by the Lord God to the Union! The population of Gyeonggi is more than 150. Wan, Ding Zhuang is about 500,000, Milpa in the Lake District is 10 million acres, and Qinanpa in the Lake District is a total of 15,000 hectares..."

Seeing this, Shulot was slightly startled. One hundred and eighty li around the Great Temple is directly under Gyeonggi? In this way, the holy city within a hundred miles northeast of the Texcoco Lake District, Teotihuacan, the hometown where he was born, has also been included in the alliance directly! ...He raised his head and wanted to ask his grandfather, only to find that he had disappeared for some time.

"Gyeonggi with a population of 1.5 million! The Mexica Valley in the Texcoco Lake District is indeed prosperous! The level of agriculture in the Lake District far exceeds that of all ministries in the world!"

Shirot sighed in his heart. Then, he silently calculated.

The alliance is a small mu system, and one square kilometer is 2,500 small mu. The floating fields on the lake, Chinampa, can support 20 people per hectare, and 15,000 hectares can support 300,000 people. If the remaining 1.2 million people are allowed to cultivate 10 million mu of mirpa, the average amount of land granted to each person is only slightly more than 8 small mu. In Milpa farming, at least half of the fields have to be rested, so the actual cultivated area of each person is only 4 mu. In a country with a vast area and sparse population, 20 acres of land are awarded per small, and 8 acres are cultivated.

"In this way, the Valley of Mexico is indeed densely populated, and the population in the Gyeonggi area is extremely prosperous! Around Lake Texcoco, all the fields that can be cultivated are almost reclaimed, and even the hills are also planted with sweet potatoes. And manure is also applied on chinampa, which maintains an amazingly high yield... The lake capital has a large urbanized population and depends on the supply of farmers in Gyeonggi. The crops in the Americas are already high enough to produce in the absence of fertilizers and large livestock. Under the circumstances, this should be the limit of support in the Valley of Mexico!"

Shulot pondered secretly, thinking about the current situation of Gyeonggi of the alliance, and recalling the "future" of Zeng Jin.

In the pre-Columbian era at the end of the 15th century, the valley of Mexico in the Texcoco Lakes region reached its peak of prosperity. When the Spanish colonists arrived here, they were shocked by the amazing wealth and prosperity of the Texcoco Lake District. They had never seen a land so densely populated, so rich, and full of gold and silver.

After the sparsely populated colonists had captured the lake capital, out of fear of a large gathering of Mexicas, they frantically destroyed the dykes on Lake Texcoco for the sake of early domination, flooded the lake with salt water, and then drained the special Lake Scoco.

The floating fields in the lake were destroyed, and Milpa along the lake was deserted, permanently reducing the population cap of the valley. In the mid-16th century, the man-made famine and European diseases spread together, and the population of the Mexican Valley plummeted by nearly 90%! The once prosperous civilization was completely destroyed by aliens, and countless bones were left unburied. It wasn't until the early 20th century, around 1920, that the population of the Valley of Mexico barely recovered to its pre-Columbian peak.

"Changing the dynasty is to destroy the country; to lead the beasts to eat people is to destroy the world! When Mengyuan went south, staking the land, converting farmland into pastures, and destroying canals along the rivers are the same!"

Thinking of this, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, but his expression became more and more determined. After so many trials, at this moment, he firmly believes that as long as he is there, everything can be completely changed and the history of Mesoamerican civilization can be rewritten!

After a while, Shilot calmed down his turbulent emotions and continued to look down.

"Besides Gyeonggi, according to the tribute, the western city-states have a total of more than 500,000, Tepanica Pangong about 220,000, and Torokham State about 300,000. Milpa should be between 3-5 million mu, specifically The number of acres is unknown."

Seeing this, Shulot raised his brows and pondered in his heart.

"Torocampan has a population of 300,000! From this point of view, I am afraid I have always underestimated the importance of the mountain family in Trokanban..."

"The alliance's secret guards are in Torocamp, and they have been arranged for a long time."

The high priest remained calm, and after having lunch, he came to the side of Shulot again. He glanced at the document in Shulot's hand and reminded lightly.

"Izel of the Mountain Clan is related to the Alliance Secret Guard. This young man has great ambitions. As for the Chunyu Clan, who once contradicted you at the banquet, the High Priest has already sent the Temple Guard to punish him."

"Chunyu Family, Shaopan Patriarch..."

Shirot was stunned for a moment, and the previous memories flooded into his mind. He opened his mouth to ask.

"How will the High Priestess be punished?"

"The whole clan's males are exterminated~www.mtlnovel.com~The servants and female relatives are exiled to the city of Hilotepec."

The high priest said flatly, but there was no change in his face.

"Now, the Shaopan Patriarch should have given the head. Just take this opportunity to completely take back the power of the priests of the Goddess of Spring, and let the chief priest of Torokan hold the power of the city-state."

"...Ok."

Shilot lowered his eyes slightly and nodded. He pondered in his heart, and his grandfather's actions were obviously a little urgent... After suppressing the full of doubts, Shirault opened the document again.

"The southern city-states have a total population of 600,000-700,000. 380,000 in the southwestern state of Raziko, 140,000 in the southern state of Kuonavak, and 130,000 in the southeastern state of Watztepek. The total population of Mirpa is 400-600. Ten thousand acres, about a thousand hectares in Chinampa, the details are unknown..."

"Laziko State is an important town in the southwest, with fertile land and a very prosperous population. There are rivers and lakes scattered there, and there are also floating fields built in Chinampa. During the Western Expedition, a lot of the food of the Southern Route Army came from nearby Rachiko State. The southeastern state of Wattstepek is on the border with the Tlaxcalans, the old enemies of the alliance. There are rolling hills, dense fortresses, and sturdy folk customs. It belongs to the frontier military city-state. Invasion, population declines gradually..."

The high priest smiled slightly and spoke again.

"Shirot, my child. If you join the Southern Route Army, you will use the state of Watztepec as a stronghold to conquer the east! I will issue a decree, and I will revise a copy of the book, so that the priest of Watztepec will work hard. Support you!"

Hearing this, Xiuluo nodded with a smile on his face. He looked at the next document again.

"The northern city-states have a total population of 410,000. 80,000 in Metztitlan in the northwest, 130,000 in Weipchtland in the north, and 200,000 in Atotonilk in the northeast..."
