King Priam of Troy was over fifty years old, a long life in his time.

The old king likes to board the flying platform built in the back garden of the palace in the afternoon.

His gaze straddled the tall parapet of the palace, and shuttled back and forth among the crowds of people in the square.

On the flying platform, he seemed to be a god flying in the air, watching every move of the people of the city-state from a height.

The old king has discovered a new change in recent days.

There are more than twice as many citizens in the square as before.

In the past, citizens could even lie down and sleep in the square, but now it is rare to walk shoulder to shoulder.

Priam thought he was old, and his eyes began to blur.

Until his courtiers advised him: "Your Majesty, our square should be expanded."

Priam was disturbed.

The square is just outside the gates of the palace.Anyone who is surrounded by a group of people at the door all day will feel uneasy.

Priam asked his servants: "Why are there so many people in our square?"

The young vassal missed the point and flattered him vigorously: "Under the protection of God of War and you, our city-state is prospering day by day."

"I mean, they shouldn't be here at all. Damn farmers, they should be growing food. They're sitting in the square all day, and they're sure to delay our harvest."

The cane in the old king's hand tapped angrily on the wooden floor, gouging a small hole in the flying platform.

The subjects hurriedly reported back to the king: "All the food for autumn has been handed in. No one is in arrears. Even what was owed last season has been paid off."

The king could not believe his ears.

A city-state that doesn't even patronize the Goddess of Grain actually ushered in a bumper harvest?

Without the patronage of the Goddess of Grain, there is Fang Chengmu's technology tree.

After the irrigation system is fully unlocked, the agricultural branch of the technology tree opens the second level.

Shift system.

This skill is naturally unlocked as Fang Chengmu's prestige increases.

Fang Chengmu didn't see its specific content until its interface changed from gray to green.

The technology tree provided Fang Chengmu with a new idea.

The Trojans divided the land into many small plots, and ordinary farmers could only cultivate one side.

Most of their time is spent collecting and storing water, and once the irrigation system is established, these people are suddenly free.Just do a little work all day long, and then go home and sleep.

Fang Chengmu used his status as the president of the Flood Control Association to arrange for everyone to take turns to work.

The fields of seven households are combined into one family, and each household only needs to work one day in seven days, without rest from morning till night.

This kind of hard work is hard work, and it is only a day's work.In the remaining six days, no matter whether you go to the city-state square to brag, or visit relatives and friends in distant places, you can leave plenty of time.

As for the land, we used to work half a day and rest half a day.Now it is taken care of all day, and the harvest is naturally better.

Fang Chengmu's shift plan is now implemented in the mountainous areas of Northeast China, and then quickly spread to other areas.

Except for the land of nobles who are still managed by slaves, small farmers basically all joined the shift system.

In the past, only those nobles who were not working had the leisure to enter and exit the square to debate, but now the peasants during their vacations can also enter the square to fight with each other.

The extra people in the square that the old King Priam saw were just the peasants who came out to hang out on a day off.

No matter how Priam thought about it, he never imagined that it would be Fang Chengmu's fault.

His first year was, hastening to sacrifice to the god of war.

The old king cried to the god of war:

"O invincible god of war, the people of Troy are grateful for your generosity.

As king of Troy, I only pray that I will not be abandoned by you. "

The royal family of Troy used more than half of the tax revenue for sacrifices every day, and the temple built for Ares was extremely luxurious.

The god of war was very satisfied with the royal family, heard the king's prayer, and appeared to answer him:

"Pious King,

I protect your people, and I protect your throne even more.

Why do you have doubts in your heart and feel that you are going to be abandoned by me? "

"You gave the peasants a bountiful harvest, and you provided them with food and clothing.

People have nothing to do, like wild animals outside the country.

They gathered in the square outside the palace, and they must be discussing a plan to seize my throne. "

Priam, who was over half a century old, was more pitiful when he cried in front of the god of war than a child crying in front of his parents.

The god of war was moved by the poor king: "Priamos, you don't have to worry. You go and choose three escorts, and I will give them strength and spirit. They will surely keep your crown."

Priam was waiting for the words of the god of war.

Whenever the militaristic king was threatened by the people, the first solution he thought of was to clear the field by force.

Priam was not a fatuous tyrant either.

Not only did he want to guard against the common people, but he also wanted to guard against the nobles.

Many nobles have already been blessed by the God of War, and if they are given spiritual strength, maybe the nobles will devour the Lord.

So the scheming king even wanted to find a trusted guard from the common people.

The city-state sports meeting in early autumn was a good opportunity for Priam to find talents.

According to the city-state's practice, the champions of various sports will automatically become the reserve of the royal guard.

The so-called preparation means not receiving the royal family's allowance before becoming an official soldier.

The nobles mostly don't care about these meager stipends, what they care about is the glory, the glory of serving the royal family and displaying great strength in front of their fellow citizens.

Often the champions are all nobles.

the reason is simple.

Farmers are tied to the fields every day to work, carrying water to plow the fields at best to exercise their bodies, and there is no spare time for competitive training.

Priam did not take the plight of the common people to heart.Now the difficulties of the common people are connected with his difficulties, and he starts to worry.

How can we justifiably incorporate civilians who cannot win the championship into the royal guard?

A king is a king after all.Priam did not take two steps to reach the crux of the problem.

Bribe the jousting judge to award the champion to a commoner!

The king's court officials brought rich gold and fish bones to the home of Cheng Mu, the official referee of the competition.

Fang Chengmu's life has greatly improved since he became the president of the National Flood Control Association, supported by thousands of farmers.

His piece of land doesn't even need to be planted, it's all used to build houses.His house is comparable to that of a middle-class aristocrat in the city.

When the court officials saw such a big house, they were afraid that the gifts they sent would be too few for others.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chengmu was not too little.Take it all.Then stuff it all back into the court officer's pocket.

The court officials were very satisfied with his performance.

Humility is a virtue that every citizen of a city-state should have.A citizen of such virtues should not limit himself to being a petty jousting judge.When I return to the palace, I must praise her in front of His Majesty the King.

Fang Chengmu asked the court official: "How many champions does Your Majesty need?"

The number agreed between the king and God of War is very clear.God of War will bless three people, so three champions are needed.

Fang Chengmu did not intend to cheat the referee.Moreover, the competition is held in full view, and whoever loses and who wins is stared at by thousands of eyes. How can the referee cheat?

The king bribed him just to make him take the blame.Fang Chengmu will never be so stupid as to damage his righteous image.

He dared to accept the king's money because he was prepared.

He had already picked out some already physically strong farmers from the one-off six-year farmer households, and intensively trained them intensively.

Aristocrats can dominate in city-state politics because they have money.

If civilians without money want to fight against them, they have to help each other, you lead me and I lead you.

Fang Chengmu helped them win the competition, and he was also cultivating helpers for the future to defeat the nobles and even aspire to the throne.

There are five competitions in the Games.

sprint.long-distance running.discus.archery.

There are also the most sensational and lively racing cars.

Racing is definitely out of the question.

Buying a racing car takes an average person's whole year's worth of wheat.Even if the harvest is good today, commoners cannot afford this sport.

As for archery, no problem.

Pandarus' arrows were blessed by Apollo.Unless Fang Chengmu goes off in person, no one can fight against the divine power.

The three championships that His Majesty the King wanted had to come from the sprint, the long-distance race, and the discus.

Fang Chengmu quickly selected three seed players from those who signed up for competitive training.

Their names are so long that Fang Chengmu is too lazy to remember them.Roll call: Ah Chang, Ah Short, Ah Bing.

The three of them only practiced one, and only wanted one championship.

Compared with those nobles who want to take all five events, they can spend four times more training time.

Inside the three.Ah Chang has the best chance of winning.

The long-distance race needs to run to and from the contestants 48 times, with a length of nearly [-] miles.

It's more about staying power.Few of the contestants in previous years could reach the finish line.

Fang Chengmu is very clear about the key inside.

To last, we must master the correct breathing and exhalation.This is exactly what Dongtu Neijia Kung Fu excels at.

Since Ah Chang received Fang Chengmu's inner strength guidance, he practiced diligently for a month and a half, and he is already getting better.

Ah Short should also be able to win the championship.

Sprinting requires instant explosive power.Although it is beneficial to have a lot of internal energy, it is really unrealistic for a Trojan to learn how to explode internal energy in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Ah Duan is very talented, so he can run extremely fast.He was runner-up last year.

The champion is an aristocrat capable of both literature and martial arts.He likes long-distance running and debating in the square.Sometimes he talks too much, and his weakness is exposed.

Fang Chengmu had already thought of a perfect strategy to deal with him.

A cake, it is worrying.

Ah Bing is considered to be the strongest and most powerful among the farmers.

But compared with the nobles who pampered themselves with good food and drink, they were only at the middle level.

In addition to skill, strength is the foundation of discus throwing.

As the saying goes, you can't become a big fat man by eating one bite.If you want to change a person's long-term malnutrition within a few months, I am afraid that only gods can do it.
