I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 54 If there is not enough food, eat meat

Looking at Procne who was deified as the goddess of dew and Philomela who was deified as the goddess of field, Roy suddenly realized a problem.

Originally, Roy was the priest of the goddess Metis, the spokesperson of the goddess Metis, and the one who truly controlled the divine power.

But now, Procne, Philomela, and Erechtheus were not only deified as the incarnation of gods, but also became the adopted sons and daughters of the goddess Metis.

Roy's identity was only a human and a priest of the goddess Metis after all.

Obviously, compared with Roy, Procne, Philomela, and Erechtheus were more qualified to control the divine power.

"Is the chief Pandion deifying his family in order to suppress me completely and prevent me from using the divine power to challenge the chief's family?"

Although he guessed Pandion's intention, Roy didn't care.

Because Roy now really had no intention of competing with Pandion for the right to rule.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! You have been forbidden to leave the Acropolis, why did you come to the port today?"

"We are waiting for the Eleusins."

Procne explained.

"Priest Loi, half of the Eleusins ​​conquered by our Athenian tribe were given to you by my father to manage. The remaining half of the Eleusins, my father decided to give to Philomela and me to manage. My father said that Philomela and I will marry the leaders of a large tribe or the kings of a city-state in the future. In order for us to help our husbands manage their people, my father decided to let us use half of the Eleusins ​​to practice the experience of managing people."

After hearing Procne's words, Chione immediately said with wide eyes in anger.

"Do you Athenians treat us Eleusinians like cattle and sheep? You two princesses are actually allowed to manage half of our population. If problems arise due to your incompetence, can you two little girls take responsibility?"

"Who are you calling a little girl? I think you are at most the same age as my sister!"

Philomela looked at Chione with a proud look on her face.

"Although my sister and I have never managed cattle and sheep, it is still no problem for my sister and I to manage you Eleusinians. As long as you Eleusinians obey my and my sister's orders, you will definitely be well fed and clothed."

Chione asked with a sneer.

"Then do you know how much food a person eats per month?"

Philomela thought seriously.

"Five catties... ten catties at most!"

"Ten catties? If you let us Eleusinians eat ten catties of food every month, we Eleusinians will all starve to death."

"How can we starve to death? I only eat five catties of food every month and I'm not starving to death! If ten catties of food is not enough, you Eleusinians should eat more meat and more vegetables!"

Eat more meat?

Eat more vegetables?

Hearing Philomela's words, Chione almost laughed out of anger.

Even Roy couldn't hold back the expression on his face and couldn't help shaking his head.

In this era of food shortage, it goes without saying that ordinary people can't eat meat every meal.

In this season of winter and spring, it's impossible for ordinary people to dig wild vegetables as vegetables.

As a noble lady of the leader's family, Philomela can not only eat meat every meal, but also eat vegetables every meal in winter and spring, but this is a life that ordinary people dare not even think about.

Even Procne couldn't stand Philomela's ignorance of the lives of ordinary people, and said helplessly.

"Philomela, the lives of ordinary people are different from ours. Their lives are worse than our slaves. Although our slaves are of low status, they can live without worries and eat our leftovers and taste delicious food."

"Ah——"

Philomela said with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Those ordinary people have higher status than our slaves, but their lives are worse than our slaves?"

Seeing that Philomela was refreshed by this amazing fact, Chione said to Procne.

"Princess Procne! Your sister doesn't even know how much food a person eats per month. I don't think you are much better than your sister. Let you two sisters manage half of the population of our Eleusinians. I am worried that many people will be killed by your incompetent management."

After Procne was speechless, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Princess Chione! I think your level is about the same as Princess Procne and Princess Philomela. You know how much food a person eats per month, so do you know how to get food to feed them?"

"I..."

Chione said "I" for a long time, but couldn't come up with a reasonable way to get food.

Seeing that Chione was also speechless by Roy's question, Philomela immediately mocked.

"It turns out that you can only raise questions but not solve them. What qualifications do you have to question us?"

"Philomela!"

Procne glared at her sister, then said to Roy.

"Priest Roy! Now half of the 3,000 people in the Eleusin tribe are managed by you, and the other half are managed by Philomela and me. Philomela and I really have no experience. Can you help us manage the Eleusin people and let us learn management experience from you?"

"Of course."

Roy said without hesitation.

"If you have no objection, I would like to build two villages with a population of 1,500 people for the Eleusisians. One village will be built at the foot of Mount Parnisa, which will be called Par from now on. The other village will be built at the foot of Mount Pendelli. , will be called Pendelli Village from now on. Parl Village will be managed by me, and Pendelli Village will be managed by you two sisters. We can let the two villages help each other and manage them in the same way."

Procne nodded in agreement.

Because she had no management experience at all, she could only accept Roy's proposal.

"I have a question!"

Philomela suddenly said at this time.

"Priest Roy, you have never been a leader, so how do you have management experience?"

"Princess Philomela, I have no management experience."

Roy explained with a smile.

"Although I have no management experience, I know how I can help the Eleusis survive when they come to a strange land. As long as you can empathize with the problems the Eleusis encounter and are willing to help them solve the problem , then you can become a qualified manager.”

Procne and Philomela looked at each other, with troubled expressions on their delicate and beautiful faces.

Because no matter how kind and gentle their hearts are, they cannot empathize with the Eleusinians.

Seeing the reactions of Procne and Philomela, Chione whispered.

"Although I am a girl like them, I think men are more suitable to be managers than women. Pandion should not let his two daughters practice management experience with us Eleusinians at all. Perhaps he should use us Eleusis to practice management experience." The three thousand people of the Sith tribe are under your control."

Roy shook his head and said.

"The Athenians that Chief Pandion directly manages only have a population of 3,000 in the Acropolis. How could he hand over all 3,000 Eleusinians to my management?"

After Roy finished speaking, dozens of ships carrying the Eleusinians sailed into the port of Piraeus at just this moment.
