Summoning Total War

Vol 3 Chapter 12: queen

The breeze blew across a field full of vitality, and there was a sound of children playing in the distance, chickens and dogs crowing, so ominous.

"Your Excellency, these are the newly built villages. Now each village has a population of about 150 households. Some time ago, Mrs. Elizabeth recruited a group of refugees. In fact, about 3,000 people were placed here by us. These people were mostly serfs, and the lord died or ran away when the orcs invaded. After the orcs were defeated, they became homeless refugees." The clerk on the side pointed to a village of about 100 households in the distance. , Respectfully said.

"Go, go over and take a look." Murphy waved his whip and said.

The expansion of Athens as a whole requires not only the prosperity of the main city, but also the construction of various villages and towns.

Although these villages cannot provide military assistance, they provide resources and wealth for the entire Athens in terms of materials. The four villages originally ordered by Murphy have now become large towns with a population of about 3,000 people. In order to further develop the land to expand the scope of arable land and to accommodate the aboriginal population that has been absorbed, it is natural to expand the towns and villages outward again. when.

In such an era, the number of people that a city can accommodate is limited. Even the famous Rome in history, the population that can be accommodated in a city is quite limited. A metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands of millions or even tens of millions of people like the one in the previous life is something that there is no way to imagine in such an era! In this era, the population of a city is no more than 50,000 at most.

Although in the planning of the entire Athens city, Murphy has followed some rational arrangements beyond the era, so that the entire city will not be too dirty and crowded to live with 100,000 people.

But in the age of inconvenient transportation, the accumulation of too many people means that a lot of manpower and material resources will be consumed on the transportation of materials.

Although Murphy will open up the Nedoria River into the Grand Canal of the previous life to connect the north and south ends of the canal, but in the early days of Athens, it is obviously impossible to do it. So after the population of the city and surrounding areas expanded to 30,000, Murphy began to arrange manpower for the next territorial planning.

That is, a large number of villages were built in Athens to spread the population.

The initial danger has passed. The First Athenian Legion settled on the border of the territory, defending the lives of its people. Now there is no need for a large concentration of population to deal with wars within the territory. The construction of roads has given Murphy the ability to carry out most of the wars on the border of the Athens area, or even on other people's territories!

This is Murphy's early realization, but it has only been realized until now.

War will always bring about killing and destruction. Whether it is victory or defeat, what remains after the war must be a mess. Just like the invasion of half-orcs, although Athens won the victory, the army of half-orcs crossing the border like locusts still brought a lot of losses to Athens. There are guard posts on all sides of Athens and the neat and spacious paved roads can allow the army to reach any place of the territory within half a day, which is enough to deal with all current emergencies.

"Your Excellency, although the land here is not as fertile as the upper reaches, it is also a medium-sized fertile land. As long as the cultivation is completed, a large number of people will be migrated next year. At that time, the food income of Athens as a whole can be increased by at least 30%." Pointing to the initially reclaimed land, said excitedly. The land in Athens is very fertile. With reasonable planning and sufficient population, these land can be quickly converted into fertile land and provide food for the entire Athens. Especially after irrigation canal cultivation has been invented, it will become easier to cultivate these lands.

On this trip, Murphy didn't bring many people, so it was not eye-catching.

However, the farmers working in the fields still put aside their work and watched them with curiosity, awe and respect. These inferior serfs have never seen Murphy, but they can see that they are noble and noble lords in Athens. The great lords of Athens gave them land to cultivate, and the officials even sent them farm tools to farm cattle and taught them new farming methods.

There is no whip, no exploitation, no oppression, as long as they cultivate the land honestly, they can harvest food and fill their stomachs. The children will not be frozen anymore, because their remaining money can fill the children with a piece of clothing when it is cold, and even allow them to eat meat several times. If their children have talents, they can even enter the academy of Athens and learn knowledge like the children of the noble noble masters.

Such a life is unimaginable for them in the past!

However, it is right in front of them now.

hope!

For these people living at the bottom of society, nothing is more moving than hope!

As long as they have hope, they have infinite motivation.

Although their ambitions are not big, they will work hard to realize their small wishes in life. Maybe it is to buy a new dress for the wife who has followed their poor life and they have never worn it when they get married, or it is to make the children full. Eat full, grow up healthy...

These people are like peasants with their faces on the loess and their backs in their previous lives.

They really don't want much. As long as the people in power have a little kindness, they can win their gratitude.

………………

As a person from the earth, from the 21st century, Murphy can give them this.

This is not charity.

Because in Murphy's eyes, he thinks these are what they deserve.

Work hard, eat enough, have clothes to wear, and have a house to live in. This is the meaning of human existence, and it is also a matter of course! If it is impossible to achieve this inherently righteous thing, then let him bring a touch of justice to the world!

………………

The village is not big, there are only more than 100 households, three or four people per household, and the entire village is about 400 people.

The nearby land has been initially cultivated. There is already a vegetable plot next to the house, and a new shoot is emerging. The adults are working in the fields, while the young children are gathering together to play. When I saw Murphy and his party passing by, I was not afraid, so I looked at them from a distance, some of them were a little bolder, and even wanted to come and touch the horses they were sitting on.

These children all came here with the refugees. They just settled down, they all looked a little yellow and thin, but they were in a good state of mind.

"Go. Give them some of our dry food." Murphy whispered to the commander of the general guard beside him.

"Yes, Master Governor." The captain of the general guard nodded, waved to invite someone, and then threw a bag of dry food with dried fish to the children.

"Let's go." Murphy didn't stay longer.

The group continued to move towards the Karazhan Mountains, where General Riodari had been waiting for him for a long time.

Several villages passed by along the way.

After passing through the last village, Murphy met a very interesting thing, and it didn't make him think of some vague memories of his previous life.

In this era, the material is still very barren, so in summer, most of the children in rural areas like this are unclothed. And most of these farmers can't eat meat, so in order to add a bit of meat to the family, they only have to raise some chickens, ducks and geese, so that the children can eat eggs a few times every once in a while. It is easier to raise some poultry. After all, these poultry will find something to eat on their own. If you don't raise a lot, you don't need to deliberately feed them.

The village that Murphy had just passed by had more than a dozen chickens, ducks, and two geese.

The thing is actually very simple, that is, there is a little boy about seven or eight years old with a bare bottom, playing in the mud next to the poultry. Then I don't know what happened, the two big white geese raised saw the little boy naked outside. I don't know if these two big white geese treat the little boy's little boy as a loach, or what they are doing, they actually chase after the bare-bottomed little boy and keep coveting his little boy.

Suddenly chased the bare-bottomed boy everywhere, yelling.

Murphy, who passed by, also couldn't help looking at it, and the soldiers of the General Guard next to him laughed.

………………

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

When Murphy rushed to the meeting place, the first thing that caught his eyes was the familiar yet unfamiliar back.

Wearing a pure white dress, the cuffs are embroidered with a tedious and gorgeous magic pattern with silver thread. The magic pattern extends to the slender arm, which looks like a four-leaf clover from the outside. Four-leaf clover symbolizes luck and happiness in the eyes of high elves, and is a commonly used decoration for them. The light green hair grows to the buttocks, the slender waist is like a wind willow, the full and slightly plump buttocks, and down there are a pair of slender legs that far exceed the proportion of humans, which are tall and slender like the legendary high elf. .

A pair of white wings are gathered together, and the feathers shimmer in the sunlight, as if they are carved from jade.

Familiar with?

It seems that I only met her once? Although also saved her once.

Murphy smiled and shook his head ~www.readwn.com~ to expel the thoughts in his mind. He is not here today to reminisce, but to discuss the cooperation between Athens and the Harpy.

"You came."

Although they were separated by hundreds of meters, after Murphy stepped into the forest, Harpy Queen Ivanna was immediately aware of his arrival.

The beautiful queen slowly turned around, looking at Murphy not far away with her ruby ​​eyes, her lips curled up slightly like rose petals, her slender fingers pinched the corners of the skirt, and leaned slightly. The etiquette of the high elves.

That means thank...
