Chapter 832: Upward political demands, the elites of Totonac
The spring rain is falling, and the storms on the seaside are always more violent than on the plateau. The reclaimed soil is already soft and shapeless, and the busy spring plowing has lasted for nearly a month. When the spring plowing in Jinwan City ended at the end of May, 120,000
The Totonak tribe sown more than 600,000 acres of farmland, and Xiulote, who personally supervised the farming, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The spring plowing work was completed very well. As long as the autumn harvest is waited for, the kingdom's food problem on the seaside will be solved.
It will be solved easily.
The spring light was blooming, shining brightly on the vast coast. He walked out of the tent, taking the woman with unsteady steps, and looked at the endless coast in the distance, as well as the green fields on the plain. At this moment, the bright sunshine fell from between the clouds, with that scorching heat
It feels like summer has suddenly arrived.
"After all the spring plowing, summer is almost here...and the peak of the rainy season is also just around the corner!..."
Under the bright spring light, Miawa was wrapped in a loose white robe and holding a roll of paper. At first glance, she looked like an aide in the field. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her face was filled with joy.
The brilliance is like the green grass after bathing in the spring rain, which seems to be able to pinch out water.
"Your Highness... The marriages of all the noble ladies have been arranged... After the spring plowing is completed, the farm assistants in various places have free time, and many people have made requests... They want to go further, get closer to the glory of the Lord God, and go to the Snake Killing City to build a new city.
In the seminary, receive the teachings of the Lord God’s teachings..."
Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows. He took the book from the woman's hand, glanced at it for a few moments, and closed it calmly. As the western holy land of the Totonak people, Snake Killer New City has always had an important religious
status. After the Alliance conquered this holy city, they also rebuilt a new temple of the main god on the destroyed Quetzalcoatl Temple, and established a small seminary to train local priests in the land of Totonac.
If the surrendered "deacons" of Totonak want to go further, then receiving training in the seminary and officially becoming the priests of the main god will undoubtedly be a smooth path to advancement.
"Miawa, select the Totonak priest. This is the responsibility of the chief priest Yin Cui of the seaside. Give him the list. After he tests the assistant priests on the list, he will naturally make a choice!"
Shulot glanced at Miyava indifferently, with a somewhat stern look in his eyes. Miyava lowered his head in fear, cursing the "heartless" man in his heart, and then warned him in a low voice.
"Your kind and majestic highness... Chief Priest Yin Cui wants to recruit a group of young priest apprentices and slowly cultivate their devout faith according to the alliance's traditional five-year education. But the current situation of the seaside land..."
"I feel that the kingdom always has to accept a group of former priests and sages and give them a way to rise... After all, their right to speak in the tribe still remains in the hearts of many tribesmen. Gaining their support can
Let the roots of the kingdom's rule take root deeper..."
Hearing this, Shulot turned his head, glanced at the cautious Miawa, and said nothing. He understood the thoughts of the chief priest Yin Cui. He came from the Inquisition and had high requirements for the priests' faith and piety.
High. Therefore, the chief priest Yin Cui prefers a young apprentice of Totonak with a blank piece of paper to comprehensively write the faith of the main god.
The request made by Miawa was the political appeal of the elites of various Totonac tribes. After obtaining the status of farm assistants and joining the ruling class of the kingdom, these original Totonac elites performed astonishingly.
of motivation.
The 120,000 Totonak tribe was able to establish a flag force, and the farming in the Jinwan City area could not be successfully completed, precisely because of the dedicated dedication of these local "deacons". After the elites of these tribes have made great achievements, naturally,
If you want to go further, go up from the bottom of the ruling class.
"The recruitment quota for Totonak priests...young apprentices and farm assistants..."
Shulot touched his chin and thought seriously. Before Miava appeared, he had never received requests from priests and sages from various ministries. This does not mean that the elites of Totonak did not have political demands and did not want to
To gain more political rights. But as conquered people, they had no direct communication channels with the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Therefore, when Miava appeared by the king's side as a default identity and participated in the politics of the seaside land... within a month, a Totonak political faction was immediately established around her!
The priests, sages, and chiefs of all Totonak tribes all flocked to her side. The local elites finally had a political spokesperson at the top of the kingdom who could directly speak out. Regardless of this kind of voice,
On some strange occasion or at any pleasant moment, the king finally heard it.
Politics is the art of compromise. Being able to hear the voices of local elites, accept them, and participate in the rule of the seaside land is undoubtedly a good thing that can stabilize the rule! As for selectively meeting their demands, and at the same time proposing new ones in reverse
The request is a reasonable political exchange...
"The number of priests in Snake Killing City is divided into 50 and 50. Half of them will train devout young apprentices, and the other half will train docile priests and sages. I will tell the chief priest Yin Cui, and we will deal with it this way in the future..."
After thinking for a moment, Shulot made a decision. He stared at the delighted woman beside him with his sharp eyes and spoke calmly.
"However, the priests and sages of each tribe 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 organized into the flag team, but only superficially surrender, or even wander outside the kingdom's rule, loosely
The inland tribes... Let more Totonak people be integrated into the ruling order of the kingdom!..."
"The kingdom's army has penetrated deep along the river and reached the southwest jungle for two hundred miles, forcing the 70,000 to 80,000 tribes in Hatori Castle to surrender and take a strict blood oath of conversion! However, although the tribes in the Hatori Castle area have converted to the main god, the Kingdom
But they couldn't spare enough priests to manage them in the jungle, establish flag troops, or even organize farming... Not to mention, the tribes of Tuhe City, three hundred miles southwest, nominally surrendered to the kingdom... These vast and complex internal affairs
The land of land is the place where local priests who are familiar with tribal culture, proficient in various languages, and adapted to the jungle climate can show their ability and piety!"

If they can convert a medium-sized tribe with a thousand people or a large tribe with ten thousand people, they will
You can be promoted to become a second-level city-state priest who manages tribes, or even become a third-level parish priest in charge of a place!"
"Ah? Go deep into the jungle, guide the inland tribes, and integrate into the rule of the kingdom?"
Hearing this, Miava's smile faltered and she spoke in surprise. Such a difficult promotion path was very different from what she had imagined and what the "deacons" in the field wanted. She opened her face to attract people.
His little mouth wanted to say something, but the king pinched his face, and he could only let out a low moan.
"Your Highness!..."
"Miawa, tell them what I said! I will give them the opportunity to climb, but only those who are devout to the Lord God can climb the high pyramid! Of course, if they are smart enough and familiar with the skills of the craftsmen,
Those who can pass the examination of the Divine Enlightenment Institute can also become the Divine Inspiration Priest... That is another smooth path, regardless of origin, only wisdom and ability..."
"Yes...I follow you..."
"Miawa, the number of times you have spoken for Totonak's various ministries recently has been too much! ... You are a smart man, but it is just your first time to hold real power, and you can't tell the difference between master and slave..."
"You must always remember that no matter how the elites of various tribes flatter you or plead with you... you must grasp them, hold them in your hands, let them crawl in front of you, and become their master! And you must
The master, the source of your power, is me!"
After hearing this admonishment, Miava stood there for a long time, with a rare daze in her eyes. She thought blankly for a while, then nodded slowly, like an ant climbing up a pyramid, and finally saw the tall man.
The scenery there. Then, her beautiful face was visibly flushed, and her eyes were dripping with water alluringly.
"Your Highness... you said... take hold of them, hold them in your hands, let them crawl in front of you, and become their master..."
"Um."
"You are my master."
"Um?"
"Take me... hold me in your hands... let me crawl in front of you..."
"Hmm?! Here?"
Shulot opened his eyes wide and looked at the vast fields, as well as the woods and grass after the rain. The accumulated water after the rain merged into a small blue lake, and the bright spring light shone on the small lake, reflecting the shore.
People on the side.
"Why, my master...are you afraid?"
"..."
Shulot didn't answer, just waved his hand. The bodyguards scattered in all directions, and the lakeside in the field was flashing with light. In the open field in the distance, the busy spring plowing had ended. Tender beans sprouted,
Wrap around the tall corns. Pumpkin seeds are deep and shallow, spreading on the fertile soil. This is the spring season, and there will be the singing of spring birds. And the reflected figures disappear in the singing~
