Summoning Total War

Chapter 21 is growing! (on)

(The second is more. Today is a bit slow to write. The third is more likely to be in the early morning.)

---------------------------------

On the 13th.

Everything in the territory is proceeding in an orderly manner. The construction of three types of towns has begun to take shape. The refugees who have returned from the southern plains have been beaten by Murphy and re-arranged to the three towns. The total population of refugees has been counted. There are 13,246 people in total. Refugees who are family units are resettled one by one, while refugees who are not family members are left in the city of Athens and monitored by Greek heavy infantry.

This is the safest way Murphy came up with.

Refugees with families have fetters and are often easier to manage.

And those refugees who have no relatives or reasons as individuals are often troublesome. In order to prevent them from disturbing the law and order in the territory, Murphy had to concentrate them on the management of gods for a period of time. After making sure that they have settled down and stabilized, consider breaking them up and distributing them. In order to strengthen the quality of these refugees, Murphy also selected strong ones from them to give instructors a month of military training.

The army is the best place to learn to obey orders.

The three newly built towns did not have fortifications, but they all built wide roads.

Murphy has already begun arranging for General Marcus Kane to build a fort at the exit of the territory. The threats within the territory are basically wiped out, and now it is enough to consider external defenses. The geographical environment of the Athenian Territory is relatively special. As long as a fortress can be established to guard the entrance, the interior is relatively safe. If you really encounter an enemy attack, there is a fortress as a fortification, and there is time to create a **** to gather the population of the three towns into the city of Athens to rely on the city wall for defense.

On the back of the city of Athens is the Nedoria River. Although the river is slow, it is also a natural line of defense.

………………

The beautification project in the city of Athens is continuing.

The Greeks are obviously more enthusiastic about art. Since Murphy announced that he would beautify the urban environment, the enthusiasm of the citizens has suddenly risen.

Many women and children consciously took advantage of the gap time to create gods and go to the wild to collect beautiful grass and trees from the beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter coat m and transplant them to the planned hua nursery in the city. In such a relatively equal environment where efforts are rewarded and there is not much oppression, the citizens of Athens maintain a high degree of enthusiasm for beautifying their living environment. Because not many people want to live in a dirty and messy environment.

There are few people in a country, and people's sentiments are the easiest to grasp.

When a country is composed of countless homes, then the concept of the country will be blurred because the boundaries are too far and there are inequalities.

But if the country consists of only thousands of families, then the concept of the country is very clear. Because the country is by my side, everything can be seen. The citizenship system of the Greek city-states is such a system. Citizens rely on the city and live together. Everything about the city is closely related to their own lives and interests.

Naturally, the cohesion of the city will increase accordingly.

The mobilization force under the city-state system is quite terrifying, compared to other times.

A city may have a population of 100,000, and this must include many villages in towns built on the city. But the citizen class in such a city is often only 20,000 to 30,000. Among the 20,000 to 30,000 citizens, women, children and the elderly can account for half, and the rest are men with a population of less than 20,000. Under the city-state system, it is very easy for a city with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 to mobilize an army of 10,000 to 20,000 at a time.

In other words, with the exception of the army recruited from the poor, almost% of adult male citizens are in armor!

It's like Athens now.

Although the total population of the goblins is close to 60,000, if the fight is really done, it will depend on the citizen class composed of Greeks. If Murphy's mobilization order for total war, then all male citizens in Athens who are over 14 years old but not yet will automatically take up arms and become fighters!

This is the honor and cohesion of citizens!

There is no doubt that under the city-state system, citizens are the cornerstone of everything.

So far, Murphy has only used a full-scale war mobilization order, that is, the Old Town Battle, facing twice as many wolves as his own. Murphy called all the adult men in the territory to take up arms and fight. At that time even part of the fù women chose to stay.

Of course, this mobilization force only acts on citizens.

With the expansion of the territory, Athens will eventually need to train a group of professional troops.

-----------------------------------

At noon.

Murphy just had lunch and was about to go to the temple.

The majestic voice of the messenger came from outside the door.

"Your Excellency, Lord Pulifei is here." The herald peeked his head inwardly and said.

I don't know why, this seemingly mighty soldier is actually afraid of bells, not just him, but many shìwei in the territory are a little bit afraid of that pink and tender girl, which makes Murphy feel incredible.

"Huh?" Murphy heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."

This aboriginal businessman is now the right-hand man who helps Murphy manage the territory. Although he lacks a little talent, he is very stable. It is not possible for him to innovate and develop, but it should be no problem to maintain the current situation. Now the port tax and so on are all taken care of by him and Murphy's newly promoted tax officer. After observing the creation of gods for a period of time, Murphy found that Pulifei was very honest in taxation, and he did not live up to his important mission.

"Your Excellency. Look at this." As soon as he came in, Prifei excitedly handed a plate-like thing to Murphy.

what?

Murphy took it suspiciously, and looked carefully.

This is a plate.

After looking at it for a long time, there is really nothing special about the plate in his hand, except for the rough workmanship, which is almost the same as the plate used in the countryside in the previous life.

and many more!

The plate used in the previous life!

Murphy shook his hand and almost fell to the ground with the plate in his hand. He picked up the white plate and knocked it, making a crisp sound.

He was startled, and two words popped out of his mind.

--porcelain!

That's right!

It's porcelain!

It may be necessary to explain the history of ceramic craftsmanship.

In the Neolithic Age, humans began to use a lot of pottery. The so-called pottery is a utensil made with clay at low temperature. Before the era of the Western Roman Empire, the main utensils of mankind were still pottery. However, the style of pottery is rough, the workmanship is not exquisite, and it is relatively easy to break, so the weight of bronze ware of that era is also heavier.

In the West, both Greek city-states and ancient Rome had relatively large-scale pottery craftsmanship, and glazed pottery was already available at that time. And there have been large-scale pottery workshops. The Romans inherited the pottery tradition of the Greek culture. They mainly fired a kind of terracotta.

In the same era, Zhongtu started from the middle and late Han Dynasty.

Probably because Zhongtu is not rich in minerals, China, which is also dominated by pottery, suddenly has a sublimation!

With the sublimation of this pottery craft.

Thus, porcelain was born.

The earliest porcelains can no longer be traced, and the appearance of porcelain of that era was mostly accidental. The era when Zhongtu ceramic craft really began to appear and gradually grew was the middle and late Han Dynasty. It was precisely because of the sublimation of ceramic craftsmanship that in the middle and late Han Dynasty, bronze utensils were completely replaced by ceramics, thus withdrawing from the stage of history. Since the middle of the Han Dynasty, primitive porcelain craftsmanship has begun to appear on a large scale.

The gap between pottery and porcelain is not big.

The main difference is still in the clay and temperature, or more simply, pottery is porcelain that has not been burnt through.

Murphy looked at the bluish-white plate in his hand, tapping it with his hand from time to time.

Murphy doesn't know much about ceramic craftsmanship.

However, as a product of the information explosion era, Murphy knows a little bit about the difference between pottery and porcelain. From a visual point of view, porcelain is much better than pottery.

The plate in his hand is obviously much better now, and it feels a little more delicate.

This should be a relatively primitive porcelain.

Pottery is still used on a large scale in Athens towns, and there is a pottery workshop in the territory.

It is Pulifei who is responsible for the management.

"Who made this?" Murphy put down the plate and asked, looking at Pulifei in front of him.

The key to porcelain firing is qualified clay and sufficient high temperature. Since someone can burn out the original porcelain, does it mean that there are citizens in the territory who have found suitable clay and mastered the know-how to increase the temperature?

If this is the case, it would be too bang!

"The pottery workshop accidentally burned this out of the soil from the other side of the Nedoria River, near the deserted rock." Pulifei said excitedly, as a slave merchant~www.readwn.com~ he has a very good business sense. After discovering these unexpectedly born original porcelains, he immediately realized the business opportunities in it. Compared with the crudely crafted pottery, these unexpectedly original porcelains are obviously better.

"Get back the soil there and re-fire, let them pay attention to the fire and raise the temperature!" Realizing that this might be the opportunity for the city of Athens to develop from pottery to porcelain, Murphy decisively said: "As long as they can successfully develop how to make porcelain. "

"I have many rewards!"

As a modern person, Murphy has always been unaccustomed to using pottery.

Now that primitive porcelain appeared in the territory, he couldn't make it through if he didn't open it vigorously. And if the porcelain craftsmanship can really be exhibited, then the territory's foreign trade will undoubtedly be an important commodity in the future!
