In autumn, most people's fields are golden, which is wheat, but Yunze's fields are half golden and half white, the corn is ripe, and the cotton is also ripe.

The corn is growing very well, even though it can't be planted at all, it still grows very well, and the temple also ushered in a bumper harvest.The yield of corn is not the highest among grains, but the average yield of 100 catties per acre still stunned the priests who were used to the yield of more than [-] catties per mu.

They knew the green corn was high-yielding from the moment it grew, but they didn't expect it to be this high-yielding.In fact, if they fertilize properly and plant scientifically, they can add another five or six hundred catties.

When the experimental field was harvested, not only the priests of the temple, but also the royal family and ministers came to see it.They all have a lot of land under their names, and as long as they have a little brain, they all know what the emergence of high-yield new crops means to landowners like them.

It means that they can feed more people, and the population is the labor force, the resource, more troops and money.

The significance for the royal family is even more significant. It means solving the famine caused by weather changes.

Good news also came from the northwest side that Prince Sham was in charge of before. A large amount of corn was planted in the northwest side. This year, the people there can have a full year.

"Corn hurts the land, so it must be planted in rotation with beans." Yunze said.But after careful consideration, they decided to plant corn in the Northwest next year and beans in the following year. The people in the Northwest need enough food, and food brings them a sense of security.

In any case, the hidden dangers in the northwest have completely subsided.

The people of Taixi are the same as the people of all other places. As long as they can survive, they will not rebel easily.If there was enough food for them to survive, there would not be so many rebellions in Taixi.

"Son of God! Thank you." Elisa, who was always serious and unsmiling, wiped away her tears with her head. She once again thought of Taixi who had starved to death.

The reduction in food production makes the people hungry, and the people are hungry and have no energy to plant. They can't treat the land carefully, so they produce less food, and this vicious circle continues.In order to obtain supplies and land, the king desperately declared war on the most powerful Northern Kingdom at that time, but unfortunately...

The strength of the North Kingdom is due to a strong and wise king on the one hand, and various inventions that continuously increase the strength of the North Kingdom on the other hand.The latter is the biggest variable.

The former has both Taixi and other big countries, but the Northern Kingdom is weak in this regard, at least their domestic leadership is not as stable as Taixi.There are many princes who have the right to inherit in the northern kingdom, and each has an army in his hand, and the temple and courtiers have their own princes who support them.

The rapid and healthy development of the Northern Kingdom is all because of the Son of God. It is ridiculous that their citizens regard the real Son of God as a demon who confuses people's hearts, and those who steal glory as Goddesses.

Taixi is different from the old powerful countries. Taixi is a country that has only developed in the past few decades. It desperately absorbs nutrients. As long as it is beneficial to Taixi, Taixi people never question the origin.The Taixi people are originally a mixed race of people from the south mixed with people from the north. They may care more about cultural identity than blood.

The Son of God has the appearance of a foreigner, and Taixi people don't care, as long as they know that he is working hard for Taixi to become stronger, then he is the Son of God of Taixi.

'Moon of Taixi', this is the folk name for Yunze, the moon illuminates the road in the dark night, and Yunze takes Taixi out of the night.

If you want Shenzi to stay in Taixi, you must show the greatest sincerity—this is something that the temple and the royal family have decided from the very beginning, and Shenzi has repaid this trust.

Kindness and kindness collide, and they complement each other.

After the autumn harvest is the biggest festival in Taixi, and the most solemn sacrificial activity of the year will be held.

After the autumn harvest sacrifice, the whole city will enter into a happy banquet time.They will put a sumptuous melon and fruit pasta in the yard, and then invite the guests to the banquet.Taixi's men can sing when they open their mouths, and Taixi's women can dance with just raising their hands. The whole Curry is a big stage.

Because after the harvest season, there will be enough sacrifices to worship the gods. Over time, this has become the biggest festival of the year. Its status is equivalent to the annual festival. It is always necessary to eat, drink, and use .

This time Yunze still wants to participate, he still wears the same outfit as before, but without the cloak, the beauty of Shu brocade will appear in the eyes of the world without any concealment.Clothes made of Shu brocade seem to have been accepted as sacrificial attire only for major sacrifices by default.

In fact, the autumn harvest sacrifices are similar in all countries, do they all claim to be the descendants of the sun god?

The main thing is to display this year's harvested grain from the royal city all the way to the temple with great fanfare, then slaughter cattle, sheep and sinful slaves, and offer several new main grains. smoothly.Finally, the priests should pray for good weather next year, and pray for the smoothness of various things in Taixi.

It's a bit like a final exam, where everyone takes the exam papers and asks their parents to sign them.If you do well in the exam, you will be very proud, and if you do not, you will be ashamed.The examination paper handed in by Taixi this year has finally been successfully upgraded from more than 50 points to more than 60 points, which is a pass. King Taixi is very proud recently.

There may be some visions when praying, such as a strange and loud voice, which is the response of the gods, or tears from the idol, which is a sign of disaster.Menis said it very solemnly, but Yunze sounded like he was doing magic.

Ordinary people, and nobles who are not qualified to follow the royal family to sacrifice, send their cattle and sheep to the temple for sacrifices if they have money, and send their wheat and beans to the temple if they don't have much money, and then face the rising sun at home. Praying and offering sacrifices in the direction is equivalent to receiving the blessings of the gods.

The monks received these offerings.This is extra income in good years, and relief food distributed to the poor in bad years.

People in some slums in Curry survived the long winter with this small amount of food relief.However, in the past few years, the temple’s own income has also decreased, and the relief food distributed has also decreased. Many people still starve to death and freeze to death every year.

Menis said that this is the most important sacrifice of the year, and it is related to whether there will be a good harvest next year, so more preparations need to be done.Yunze couldn't understand the meaning of "preparation work" at first, until there was a knock on his door in the middle of the night that day.

Yunze, who was woken up in the middle of the night, was in a very complicated mood, oh, it wasn't for the upcoming sacrifice, the process after entering the temple was similar to the last time.

He just wondered, what happened to the pile of wild chrysanthemums at his door, are they still woven into wreaths?Why don't you make elegiac couplets and paste them on the door?

Well, the use of chrysanthemums in worship is a custom from the West, and it is an imported product.Yunze comforted himself by praising him as a gentleman, 'character is like a chrysanthemum'.

The wave that came in was not the almighty maids sent by several temples who served him on weekdays, but young priests of higher ranks, and the disciples of the great priests of each temple were among them (not the official heirs), and Menes was Be at the forefront.

This group of handsome men and beauties led a group of servants to look at him expectantly, holding chrysanthemum items in their hands, such as a washbasin full of chrysanthemum petals, and a white towel wrapped in a bouquet of chrysanthemums... The deputy rushed forward at any time and stripped him naked and threw chrysanthemums on him.

Yunze couldn't help looking at Menis.

Meinis smiled and said, "To pray to the gods today, you need to take a bath and change your clothes, and greet the gods with a clean body. These people came here from different temples to serve you."

How many people are needed to take a bath and change clothes?And came here on purpose... to serve him?

Yunze thought of the current situation where noble men and women in this era have to take seven or eight people to take a bath.Want all these well-dressed people to stare at him and take a bath with his bare buttocks?

Also, or not?

Yunze looked at Menis again, a little pitifully.But Menis, who has always been obedient, refused at this time: "Your Highness, time waits for no one."

Yunze grabbed the pajamas.If he wants to integrate into this place, he must follow the Romans and not be special.What should we do? Do we need to be virtuous, or should we follow the herd?

"You stay, and everyone else will leave." Yunze had no choice but to make a compromise, and it was more acceptable for Meinis to be alone and of the same sex.It is said that schools in the north are all big bathhouses, this situation is not very strange, right?

Menis remained calm, only the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed a little bit of real emotion.

The others looked regretful, knowing that His Royal Highness the Son of God trusted Menis the most, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't give them a chance to pry the corner. Is it because they are not good-looking or their temperament is not gentle enough?No matter how much they resented Menis, the bastard who ate meat and drank soup, they still put the things in their hands inside the house and retreated silently.

"Your Highness." Meinis tested the temperature of the water with his hands, went to Yunze and knelt down on one knee, covering his heart with one hand, with a sincere smile on his slightly raised face, "Let me serve you. "

"……Um."

"I'll wipe my body myself." Yunze said shyly with a blushing face.

Knowing that he was shy, Menis nodded with a smile.

Just as Yunze unbuttoned his pajamas, seeing Minis looking at him leisurely, his face blushed again: "Don't look, turn around."

"Your Highness is extremely beautiful. In front of you, even the moon god looks too pale. Why are you so shy?" Menis praised Yunze sincerely, but it was because he praised Yunze so sincerely that he was not used to these straightforward words until now. Yun Ze felt a little uncomfortable with the style.

"Who says men are beautiful?" Yun Ze said.

"Is beauty divided into men and women?" Menis asked again.

This question stopped Yunze from asking, he stopped arguing with Menis, but just pushed him: "Listen to me, my lord priest."

Meinis was pushed over, just as Yunze couldn't stand Meinis showing weakness, Meinis couldn't stand this coquettish behavior either.

Yunze takes a bath every three days, so his body is very clean, just wipe it with a natural sponge.Afterwards, Menis massaged him with a special massage balm. At first he thought that this balm was a milky white paste, but he didn't expect that the massage balm was a rough dark brown unknown substance, which looked like sesame paste at first glance. .

Menis said that this thing is made of many spices and flowers with strong fragrance and relatively high oil content. Using it to rub the body has the effects of exfoliating, moisturizing the skin, and aromatherapy.

Yunze's face, neck, arms and feet were all smeared with this ointment, after careful massage and washed off, his body was indeed covered with a faint exotic fragrance.

Menis piously cleaned and wiped the balmed parts for him, it felt very strange, as if an antiquarian was dealing with a priceless national treasure, so that Yunze finally forgot the emotion of shyness.

Finally, he changed into the clothes he had scented long ago, and the bathing and changing were over.

During the sacrifice after the autumn harvest this year, one carriage after another drove to the temple with golden corn.The people in Curry and the nearby people all followed behind the car and chased across a street until they reached the entrance of the temple.They knew that it was the seed of the Kingdom of God brought by the Son of God, which could feed them.

"His Royal Highness, Son of God! His Royal Highness, Son of God! Taixi's Shenzi, Taixi's Moon!"

This time they were even more excited than last time, the sound waves spread around him, and no other sound could be heard in the audience.

The Taixi people threw the flowers, jewels, and spices in their hands onto the carriage where Yunze was. Menis was careful not to let heavy and sharp objects hit Yunze.He was overthinking, Taixi people were more nervous and careful than him, nothing touched Yunze, except flowers.

They're no longer just concerned with his looks and clothes, though the girls are still swooning over the charm.

All the fanaticism is because of the corn he brought.His achievements have been recognized. In the future, as long as there is no such mistake as treason, the people will think of him as long as they see corn.When I think of him, I think of the beauty of being full.

This was something Yunze had planned long ago—when Taixi needed food the most, he would send a kind of food and get a gold medal for avoiding death.But at this moment, he was standing in the car, surrounded by flowers, and everyone was calling for him.That huge hole in my heart that wanted to be recognized was filled with love.

As if all plans were far away, he really felt the enthusiasm.

Why are Taixi people so silly and sweet?Yunze couldn't stop laughing while thinking.

After the sacrifice, the temple told the people in Curry that they could exchange beans for a certain amount of golden wheat, one-to-one exchange, and exchange by head.

In order to quickly spread the corn, the temple adopted this strategy, which they believed could help the corn to take root in Taixi's land faster.

As for the remaining corn, part of it was left as seeds and sent to temples in various places for planting, and the rest was exchanged for the royal family and other nobles.

Such a precious grain, even the royal family, which has always been extravagant, dare not really eat it.

Taixi has only one person to eat, and that is Yunze. He didn't grow wheat this year, but only planted corn and cotton. He has enough corn.

Therefore, when Yunze invited the people who participated in the sacrifice to have a corn feast at his place before the winter, everyone agreed, and the excitement was even stronger than the king inviting them to the dinner.

For a while, all the nobles in Curry were looking forward to the banquet set by the Son of God, except for the nine priests and the royal family, they were silently shocked by another crop.

That is cotton.
