Aztec Eternals

"The printing press of the Union...a tool for the spread of religion and culture!..."

Shirot stroked the tough bark paper in his hands and pondered. After nearly six years of development, the alliance's papermaking technology has made great progress, and the scale of papermaking has also expanded rapidly. There are large-scale paper workshops in the lake capital Tenochtitlan and the royal capital Qincongcan. And small paper-making workshops also emerged in the city-states of the alliance. Papermaking technology is spreading rapidly in Central America.

The extremely convenient bark paper, reed paper and straw paper have become indispensable daily consumables among priests and nobles. The caravans and trade groups in various states also have the same strong demand. However, most people write and communicate on paper, still based on traditional graphic symbols.

As for the characters of the alliance, they are being spread together with papermaking, especially in line with the Nava word order. The pseudonym characters that are spontaneously simplified from the Nava graphic characters are most easily mastered by ordinary nobles. The high-level nobles and priests will study the scriptures printed by the high priests, and look for the mysteries of the gods from the complicated square text. The use of these characters has spontaneously moved towards the process of localization in Mexica, and the sentence sequence and the pronunciation of recitation are different from those of the Celestial Dynasty.

"The priesthood of the kingdom and the alliance mastered the art of printing, and they are also keen to print religious pictures. Thousands of pictures and scriptures of the main **** are being printed quickly! Even in the shrine in the village of Prepecha , are affixed with pictures of the Lord God, and have a book of "Ali". The faith of the Lord God is flowing at an unprecedented speed, in a miraculous manner, to the states conquered by the alliance... The faith of the Kingdom of the Lake is already in The Prepecha people are stable! Now the new focus is to deepen the belief in the Lord God as soon as possible among the 200,000 Tlaxcalans who have migrated..."

Thinking of this, Shulot picked up the pen and wrote the new Wang Ling.

"Kingdom priests, select priests as soon as possible, go to the south, and preach among the Tlaxcalans. Shenwei University, recruit 200 priest apprentices from the 200,000 new immigrants... In addition, let the priests of the gods carry hot air balloons , go to the two counties in the south, and show miracles again!"

In the spread of belief in the Lord God, "miracles" are naturally the most shocking and effective way of preaching! After each "miracle" of a hot air balloon liftoff, a religious frenzy is triggered. Missionaries at this time are almost always unprofitable. Of course, various gods "fireworks" can also play a certain auxiliary effect.

Thinking of hot air balloons, Shulot paused for a while, thinking of the towering Cloud Snake Mountain City. It's just that the alliance's hot air balloons can't carry people, the height of the liftoff is very limited, and the time cannot be too long, which is difficult to use in actual combat.

"This is a psychological weapon. Only when it is used at the most critical time can it become the last straw that overwhelms the enemy's morale... However, it is indeed possible to prepare in advance and build one first..."

The king thought for a moment, then looked at the sage's document, and turned to the last part.

"Your Majesty, the Lake Kingdom has a population of over one million, just like when the old kingdom was at its peak. However, the number of military nobles and warriors supported by the kingdom is far greater than that of the old dynasty! Seven thousand imperial guards, eight Thousands of Gyeonggi Corps, 8,000 Guageli Corps, 8,000 First Spear Corps, 8,000 Second Spear Corps, 8,000 Lilac Corps... Six Corps, there are 47,000 warriors, all of them are granted slavery !... In addition, among the counties, there are a considerable number of local militia battalions, such as thousands of Canine soldiers in Hekou County, thousands of Turks soldiers in Apa County... These frontier militia, need Regular training, farming is very rough, and you will not participate in labor. Once you go to war, you will be promoted to samurai..."

Seeing this, Shilot's old face turned red, slightly embarrassed. He has not yet informed the sages that the kingdom is preparing to establish a seventh half-time long snake army, which is also full of 8,000 people.

"When the Hydra Corps is established, there will be 55,000 warriors in the lake kingdom of 1.2 million people, plus a huge number of frontier militias. The proportion of the full-time and half-time samurai population alone is 4.6%. It can be said to be twenty people and one soldier!"

Thinking of this, Xiulote pursed his lips. The ratio of soldiers and civilians in the kingdom may indeed be a bit high. And the samurai class conferred Tian and Jue, the proportion of the kingdom's wealth occupied by them is probably much higher than this... The king thought and continued to look down.

"Your Majesty, the current kingdom is neither a kingdom of priests, nor a kingdom of nobles, but a kingdom of warriors! The expedition to the west, the expedition to the north, the expedition to the south, the expedition to the east... The kingdom does not go to war every year, and every battle destroys the city. For expeditions, military merits are accumulated and titles are awarded, and the samurai are awarded the fields and slaves. And your Majesty is friendly to the samurai, and the rewards are not generous, it is the best in the world, and even far surpasses the alliance!"

"Among the 50,000 corps, there are 1,800 first-level military nobles! Each person grants 800 mu of land and 40 slaves. The fourth-level senior warrior has a legion. Each person grants 240 acres of land and 12 slaves. Next, there were about two legions of the third-level elite warriors, each of whom granted 100 acres of land and 5 slaves. As for the second-level captured warriors, the number was close to that of the third-level warriors, with each granting 20 acres of land and 1 slave. ...The kingdom's warriors occupy so many fields, control as many serfs, and read epics as never before. The old ministers are often afraid, day and night, and don't know where the future destiny of the kingdom will go..."

Seeing this, Xiuluo paused, his expression changed. He immediately brought the reward plan for the Eastern Expedition, and added and subtracted the number of promotions at all levels with the report of the sage Jatiri. Soon, he figured out the specific numbers and looked surprised.

"After the Eastern Expedition, at least seven hundred military nobles and two thousand senior warriors must be promoted... In this way, the number of military nobles in the kingdom will reach 2,500, occupying 2 million mu of farmland and 100,000 serfs. The fourth-level samurai has 10,000 people, occupying 2.4 million mu of farmland and 120,000 serfs. The third-level warrior has 18,000 people, occupying 1.8 million mu of farmland and 90,000 serfs. The second-level samurai has 15,000 people. Occupy 300,000 mu of farmland, 15,000 serfs..."

With this in mind, Shirout shook his hand and almost groaned.

In the four large-scale expeditions before and after, the casualties of the samurai army were very limited, and the number of enemies killed and captured was extremely large, in the hundreds of thousands! In order to subdue the samurai legions from all states and races and gather the hearts of the kingdom as soon as possible, Shulot strictly fulfilled his promise to grant Tian Shishou the military merits. As a result, a very large warrior class was born naturally.

"O Lord! The kingdom's warriors and military nobles ~www.readwn.com~ will occupy a total of 6.5 million mu of farmland and nearly 330,000 serfs! And the total number of acres of land in the kingdom, including the fallow area, is only close to 20 million mu. The total population of the kingdom is 1.21 million..."

"In other words, the samurai and military class occupy at least 33% of the country's farmland and 27% of the population! And in the kingdom, more than a quarter are slaves?!"

In fact, the number of slaves is far more than that. In the two major mining areas of the kingdom, there are also thousands of miners who are consumed. In the manor of the nobles and priests of the kingdom, there are also a large number of serfs who work. The proportion of slaves in the entire kingdom is likely to be close to one-third.

Shirot raised his head, looked at the towering and majestic statue of the Lord God, and fell into contemplation. After this calculation, he has a deeper and clearer understanding of the kingdom in the lake that he built with his own hands. The young king was silent for a long time, finally exhaled and whispered to himself.

"It's really the Qin Kingdom in the West Sea, Rome in the Americas, a military group in the lake, an army with a state...a slavery military state with centralized theocracy!"
