Chapter 196: Shulots new mission, the Chief of Logistics and the Imperial Envoy
"Ah? Teacher, you want me to be the minister of political affairs and participate in political meetings?..."
"That's right! Shulot, with your identity and status in the alliance, you are almost the most powerful royal prince. As a representative of the royal family and the royal minister, you will join the political meeting that decides on major issues in the alliance!... Well,
The female snake Gillim is the chief minister of the Council, responsible for the internal affairs of the alliance... Then you can be the second minister, above the giant bear Stanley who is in charge of the military... As for the work you are responsible for, let me think for a moment... Someone comes! Come on.
People! Get my herbalist here!..."
The thunderous storm in the hall finally dissipated after a long period of brewing and sudden explosion. The teacher Avitt held the student Shulot's hair, his face showed a rare gentleness, and his voice softened. The contrast between before and after.
It is as great as thunder and rain, and it is all the favor of the king.
"Xulot, you have to know that I trust you and have always placed high hopes on you! It's just that the alliance is getting stronger and stronger. I stand on a towering pyramid. There are some things that I can't control. I have to consider the balance of power...
"
"Ah! Yes, I understand, I understand your difficulties...Teacher, I have always trusted you!..."
"Well, if you are willing to return to the capital, I know that you are still the good boy... The ministers are here, please endure the pain and act calmly!..."
As a teacher, Avitt comforted the students with a few words, then turned around and returned to the throne. When the personal guards and trusted ministers filed in, the gentleness on his face instantly faded.
He became a cold and majestic God King again.
"Give him some ointment! Use the best ointment!..."
"Yes, His Majesty the God King!..."
The guards lowered their heads and agreed, and hurried away. Soon, two royal herbal priests came with wooden boxes filled with herbs. The two lowered their heads, not daring to look at the situation in the temple. They just opened the wooden boxes and started
Among the large and small clay pots, he took out the smallest bottle of medicine for treating trauma. When the ointment was applied on his back and the bruises and bleeding wounds, Shulot instantly felt a cool and refreshing feeling.
It was spicy to the touch. He sniffed his nose and smelled a strange scent of yucca flowers. It turned out to be yucca ointment with spicy grass added.
"Witness the Lord God! I have already punished Shulot in front of my ancestors. He also knew his mistake and made up his mind to change it... Well, from today on, Shulot will join the royal family as a minister of political affairs.
Go to the alliance’s meeting of ministers!…”
God King Avit looked around the hall and looked at everyone's reactions. The female snake Gillim was startled and hesitated to speak. The Shadow Dagger Wami was also a little surprised, but immediately lowered his head. The giant bear Stanley nodded slightly.
, seemed to take it for granted. As for the remaining ministers, they looked at each other and bowed their heads respectfully. In this matter of the Mexica royal family, they did not have any inclination, but only obeyed the order of the God King.
.
In essence, the meeting of ministers at the center of the alliance is a tribal alliance-style central decision-making organization. This loose political system is more like the meeting of kings and ministers in the Qing Dynasty than the three provinces and six ministries of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Outside the center of the alliance, local aristocratic fiefdoms and states, large and small, ranged between the Jisi Prefecture County of the Tang Dynasty and the Touxia Military Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty, based on the degree of autonomy. As for the alliance,
The directly-affiliated city-states and directly-affiliated communities established in the Texcoco Lake District, as well as the directly-affiliated counties, directly-affiliated military and civilian villages established by the kingdom in various places, are more like the Zhechong military mansions of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Meng'an Mouke of the Jin Dynasty, or the Manchurian villages.
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the main systems of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, whether it was the mature county system at the local level or the civil service system with checks and balances at the central level, all required a large number of civil servants and a long tradition of centralization to maintain. Such complex and delicate systems with balanced power
The political system is by no means something that the Mexica Alliance and the Lake Kingdom in the tribal-feudal era can easily imitate. The most that the alliance can imitate is the Mongolian, Yuan, Liao, Jin and Manchu Qing Dynasties in the early tribal era...
"Gillim, take a look at the alliance center and what other affairs can be handed over to Shulot?"
"Your Majesty, the affairs of the Alliance Central Committee...well, Princess Alyssa once established a medical institute in the name of Her Highness Shulot, responsible for the research of trauma, disease, medicine and treatment..."
Looking at Shulot who was applying the medicine for his wounds, the female snake Gillim pondered for a moment and then answered respectfully.
"Currently, there are about two hundred herbal priests, doctors and apprentices in the Medical Institute. Three years after its establishment, the Medical Institute not only drew anatomical diagrams of the human body to help the high priests perform sacrifices, but also prepared many novel animals and plants.
Potions. In fact, the Institute of Medicine even compiled a mysterious "Plague Science Manual", which explained several ways in which the epidemic spreads. And with the blessing of the Lord God, the most praiseworthy achievement of the Institute of Medicine is the promotion of the divinely inspired forceps.
, reduced the number of women’s deaths during childbirth in the Union Lake District by more than 80%!…”
"It can be seen that the Alliance's Medical Institute is vital to the people of the Alliance, and it needs long-term divine inspiration and guidance! In fact, the establishment of the Alliance Medical Institute came from the divine inspiration and suggestions of His Highness Shulot. And
His Highness has always attached great importance to medicine, to guard against the white-skinned evil spirits from the East China Sea as predicted, and to guard against the death plagues from overseas... Since this is a divine revelation from the Lord God, we must not slack off at all, and regard it as one of the alliance's top priorities.
One!...Why not let the divinely inspired His Highness Shulott serve as the director of the Medical Institute and be responsible for the alliance's medicine!..."
Hearing such prophetic and pertinent advice, Shulot was surprised, and his heart suddenly fluctuated. He opened his eyes wide and carefully looked at the serious-faced female snake Gillim. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking. It was a miracle.
Wang Avit frowned, glanced at Gillim dissatisfied, and asked thoughtfully.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let Shulot serve as the director of medicine, manage two hundred priests, doctors and apprentices, and be responsible for the medical research of what kind of alliance?... Gillim, there is no alliance.
What, other more important matters can be left to Shulot?..."
“Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!…”
Hearing this, Gillim didn't say much, he just bowed to the ground respectfully, waiting for the God King's order. Avitt glanced at the respectful Shulot, thought for a moment, and then made a decision.
"Gillim, is the hereditary noble Kuaud in charge of the craftsman camp in the royal capital?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty!"
"Well, the number of craftsmen camp in the royal capital, including craftsmen, apprentices, and civilians combined, already exceeds the Hikipili Army of 8,000 people. And the Southern Expedition is coming soon after the autumn, and the craftsman camp must prepare six armies for the southern expedition.
The legion's arrows and crossbows, weapons and armor, gunpowder and artillery, the affairs are also very complicated!...Kouod is old and a senior craftsman. Although he has no problem managing technical matters, he can't control so many hands.
The nobles... Then let Shulot come, as the minister of political affairs, to be responsible for the military supply of the craftsman camp!..."
"Ah? Let His Highness Shulot be responsible for the military supplies of the six southern expeditionary legions? This?...Yes! Follow the king's will!..."
Gillim hesitated for a moment before he understood the meaning. His heart trembled, and he immediately bowed to the ground respectfully. Avitt nodded slightly, then looked at Shulot next to him with majestic eyes, and gave careful instructions.
"Xulot, a lot of the armament of the craftsman camp comes from your divine inspiration. And with your status and ability, I feel relieved to leave this matter to you!..."
"The forest in the royal capital is huge, and there are all kinds of birds. The armaments production in the craftsman camp consumes mountains and seas of materials and manpower every day. And the armament materials produced are also piled up in warehouses, making it difficult to sort out... This
Among them, there are naturally some anteaters that secretly stick out their tongues and lick greedily!…”
"Especially the alliance's bronze armor, bronze axes and crossbows are famous among all the tribes in the world! Both inside and outside the alliance, and all the countries in the world are in urgent need of the alliance's armaments. Every piece of armament is valuable when it goes to foreign countries.
It's not cheap, and can be exchanged for a lot of food, cotton, gold, silver, gems, spices and cocoa from the hands of nobles!..."
At this point, Avitt's eyes sharpened, revealing the cold murderous intention of the God King. He looked at Shulot, who was in charge of the feudal kingdom, and gave the king's order sternly, even his voice was filled with cold chill.
"Xulot, you are my most trusted student. You have been in charge of the affairs of the feudal country, so you naturally know the secrets of it best! More than three years ago, when we attacked our old enemy the Tlaxcala people,
They all found bronze armor, battle axes and crossbows smuggled from the Alliance from the hostile Tlaxcala nobles!…”
"At the beginning of the previous year, the craftsmen's camp was purged, and more than a hundred craftsmen, dozens of responsible officials, a dozen minor nobles, three hereditary nobles, and even a royal noble were killed in one breath! ... A full two
Hundreds of heads were hung all over the capital, which made the anteaters calm down for a while and no longer dared to be so bold... But this kind of thing is like weeds in the ground, it cannot be cut off at all, someone must always come.
, just pull weeds from time to time!…”
"Now that the Alliance is about to conquer the Yunzhong tribes in the south, no bronze armor and powerful crossbows, let alone any bronze cannon, are allowed to flow into the Yunzhong tribes! This request, based on Kuaud's background, cannot be fulfilled.
, can't do it either... So, Xiulote, now I leave all the military supplies of the craftsman camp to you! In these months before the autumn harvest, you must take my place and show no mercy.
, suppress the weeds and anteaters in the camp, and clean them up!…"
"Witness the Lord God! Shulot, I give you the power to judge the nobles of the alliance! You have to let go and rectify the craftsman camp in the royal capital for me! ... As long as a corrupt noble is found, no matter whether it is military merit
Nobles, hereditary nobles, even the highest honorable nobles... no matter whether they are foreign nobles or nobles in the royal family... as long as the evidence is conclusive, they will be arrested and used as sacrifices before Qiu Hou goes to war, dedicated to the gods.
