Aztec Eternals Chapter 438

"Food... Migrating people and relocating tribes all need food. And the Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the food of the villages in the lake area will be expropriated, and the preparation for the war will be given priority."

High Priest Shuter looked at the candles in the hall and thought for a long time. Afterwards, he looked at Shiloh and made a quiet promise.

"Shirot, my child, I will give you food for 200,000 people a year! Thirty percent of it comes from the stock held by the High Priestess, and thirty percent comes from the barns of the Holy City lineage. The remaining forty percent will be disposed of after the disposal. After the great nobles of Trokham and Raziko, they were collected from the local nobles of the two states to support the migrating team.”

"200,000 people a year!..."

Hearing this number, Shulot was quite excited. If there is so much food, it can not only settle the migrating tribes, fill the food gap in the kingdom, but also ensure the supply of the imperial guards for the eastward expedition.

"Well. Population and food should be transported by water as much as possible. The first batch of food will be transferred immediately, and the kingdom's navy should prepare for transportation."

The high priest smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, and touched his grandson's cheek.

"The last batch of grain is expected to wait until the autumn harvest in October... Don't worry, my child. As long as I am here, nothing will go wrong."

"grandfather..."

Shulot fell on the ground, sincerely, and bowed to his grandfather.

"Blessed by the Lord God! The ancestors are blessed! May you be healthy and shine on the alliance!"

"Blessed by the Lord God! The ancestors bless! May the Holy City line up and shine on the world..."

The high priest nodded and chanted softly. Under the bright candlelight, the two highest-ranking priests sat opposite each other, praying for the future together.

After a while, the high priest stopped chanting. He looked at the alliance map, pondered for a while, and his eyes flashed. "Shirot, the kingdom's supply of tin mines and the southern trade route need to go along the Tarsus River and pass through the land of Jontar... In fact, these two problems can be combined to solve."

Saying that, the high priest dropped his finger, and in the middle of Jontar Land, heavier.

"There is a Qiongtar settlement here, named after the river, called Ta'er Village. Ta'er Village is located in the middle of the Tahe Commercial Road. To the east of the village is a newly developed medium-sized tin mine, and a sporadic development. small gold mines.”

“Taal Village...”

Shulot looked intently and saw that the village of Taer (now NuevoBalsas) was located more than 400 miles to the west of the capital city in the lake, and more than 600 miles to the east and south of the city of Kuramo. It is connected to the Kingdom of the Lake through the Tahe waterway and can be reached by boat for half a month.

"My child, this is the middle reaches of the Tahe River, an extremely important node! Landing from here, going to the southeast, within a hundred miles, is the territory of the Mistec people. And along the Tahe waterway, going to the northeast, Travel two or three hundred miles, and you will be Tepeyacak of the Tlaxcalans."

The high priest spoke calmly and was prepared.

"The village of Ta'er is located in the mountains and can only be easily reached by water. Although it seems that it is closer to the capital city in the lake, the actual communication is more convenient for the kingdom. Xiuluot, when you were on your expedition, You need to set up a transfer base in the middle reaches of the Tahe River, so I chose this place for you."

"The High Priests will hand over this place to the kingdom in the name of the Eastern Expedition. All you need to do is build a mountain fortress, send a thousand warriors to guard it, and cooperate with the kingdom's new-style ships, and you can control the Tahe River as much as possible... "

"...Located in the middle reaches of the Tahe River, close to the mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous. It is also the junction of various ministries, and the southern trade road must pass through. Retreat can be based on danger, and advance to attack the upper reaches, surrounded by tin mines and gold mine..."

Shirot murmured in a low voice, the expression on his face changed. If this dangerous place is controlled by others, the southern kingdom of the downstream will be exposed. He thought for a moment, then bent down again and bowed to his grandfather.

"Grandfather, thank you!"

"My child, there is nothing to be thankful for between us."

Hearing this, the high priest shook his head lightly and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Everything I do is for you, for the family... Before the end of the Eastern Expedition, I will try to do more..."

The words of the high priest gradually became indistinguishable. Then, with a solemn expression, he made a solemn promise again.

"As for the various talents needed by the kingdom... Over the past few years, the Priest University in the capital has recruited many commoners and trained them as young priests who can understand writing and counting... There are about four or five people who have not yet been employed. Hundreds of people. Their abilities can guarantee that the reason they have not yet served is because they are trapped in the status quo of the Lake District... After all, there are too many descendants of nobles in the Texcoco Lake District, waiting to obtain positions of real power."

"Shirot, my child, I will hand over all these young priests from commoners to you! Their families have also migrated to the Kingdom of the Lake. With this group of backbones, you don't need to rely too much on them. The elite of Prepecha..."

"Excellent, really great!"

Hearing this, Shulot was very satisfied and nodded with a smile.

"Four or five hundred young priests who understand writing and arithmetic are a rare help for the Kingdom of the Lake!"

The corner of the high priest's mouth raised a faint smile. He thought for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth under the expectant gaze of his grandson~www.mtlnovel.com~ My child, in the Divine Revelation Institute in the capital city in the middle of the lake, there are many senior craftsmen you once commanded...Give me I will try my best to call you a list... The water control project of Lake Texcoco was planned by the elders himself. The master craftsman who is good at water control, ask the elders to ask for it, and leave it to me... As for the professional old farmers who are familiar with the construction of Qinampa, the Holy City lineage itself has it, and I will give it to you... "

Hearing his grandfather's promise, Shulot was moved. He pursed his lips and asked in a low voice.

"Grandfather, over there with the elders, or I'll go..."

"The elderly are seriously ill and don't have much time to wake up. All these things are left to me."

The high priest's words were calm, but his expression was full of firmness. Then, he asked softly.

"My child, do you need anything else?"

Hearing the words, Shulot pondered without saying a word, thinking over and over again. After a while, he looked at his paper armor and said softly.

"Grandfather, I still need some... guards who are proficient in assassination and good at detecting intelligence. And instructors who can train such guards."

Only guards who are skilled in assassination can effectively prevent assassination. This kind of work requires special and professional training, and is never something that warriors who fight head-on are good at.

"Guards skilled in assassination and exploration..."

The high priest's expression moved. He lowered his eyes, thought deeply for a moment, and nodded slowly.

"Shirot, my child, I heard about the assassination you suffered in the southern part of the kingdom."

Speaking of this, the high priest looked calm, but his words gradually became low.

"There are indeed such talents in the Holy City lineage. There are also special female priests in the high priest group. In the past few years, many assassinations against me have been guarded by them..."

"In a few days, I will let her go to see you, personal guard!"
