Chapter 26: Priest of the God of Love! (Part 1)
(The third update is over, please give me a recommendation vote.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bursiness and beauty.
Athens is developing at an astonishing speed, changing with each passing day, and everything is demonstrating the Greek civilization to the indigenous peoples of this world.
Time slowly transitioned to mid-November.
After the threat of the werewolves retreated, the population of free people who chose to settle in Athens reached 1,500.
At present, the population of purebred humans has exceeded 20,000 without human creatures!
……………………
The diplomat Tobayes, who was sent out to the half-elves, ordered people to bring back something not very good.
He has reached a trade cooperation with the half-elves, but the problem is that these half-elves promise to sell food, but do not collect cash coins!
Yes.
These half-elves maintain the elves' consistent self-sufficient and self-sufficiency living habits.
They use bows and arrows as weapons to live a more closed group life. Although they have demands for some daily necessities, these half-elves do not need any silver coins. For them, silver coins are simply a kind of beautiful metal.
Even as decorations, these half-elves prefer wooden structures.
You can't buy anything if you have money!
This was really an embarrassing thing to Murphy.
The only areas that can be sold as materials are horses (centa trade), wood, slaves, pottery (porcelain) and coal mines.
The horse half-elves probably don't need it, because they rarely ride horses. The woods live in a rich place, so there is no need to transport them from Murphy's territory. Slaves don't have to think about it. The half-elves are more repulsive to other species. As for the coal mines, they inherited the concept of some elves' love for beauty, probably wouldn't be interested in the dark things in the coal mine at all.
If you can barely say that there is anything that can attract their eyes, it is that there is only the ceramic technology that has just emerged. However, in terms of the current ceramic technology level, it is probably difficult to satisfy the half-elf's picky vision. If there is anything else, it is the corn wine that has just been brewed and undergoes distillation tests. Murphy doesn't know if the half-elf will like this wine, but it probably isn't very likely.
In desperation, Murphy had to send someone to bring news to the diplomat Tobayes and ask him to change lanes to the barbarian territory.
See if we can reach trade relations with the barbarian tribes living west of the southern plains.
Although the crop planting area does not reach the scope of human city-states, it should still have some food in their hands compared to those barbarians. After all, growing wheat is also a part of their lives, and it is difficult to grow the ethnic group simply by fishing and hunting.
If we can reach a trade relationship with the barbarians, we may be able to exchange food from them with the soon-to-be-refined soju.
The barbarians mainly live in the northwest of the continent. Although they are not a cold place, the climate is indeed a little colder than other places.
Living in such a place, the barbarians have much more demand for spirits than others!
……………………
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was the blessing of textile craftsmanship. During this period, the priests leading the temple discovered a relatively precious plant nearby.
The sap of these plants can be used as purple and blue dyes.
They are currently trying to plant these plants on a large scale. If they can be successfully planted, they will probably have more foreign trade in the territory.
With the development of the territory, there are more and more affairs in all aspects.
Murphy gradually realized that he could not take into account everything one by one. So after the university was established and a new group of talents was about to be cultivated, he gradually delegated some internal affairs.
With the newly recommended talented general Jerry Rivad, he also has an internal affairs consultant.
The territory is expanding bit by bit, and the allocation of personnel management in all aspects is imminent! In Murphy's idea, as long as the military and political affairs are firmly controlled by himself, it is time for some general matters to be delegated to the people below to handle and exercise.
Murphy didn't want to be as sad as Zhuge Kongming, and did everything himself, and ended up with the ending of "No general in Shu Liao Hua as a pioneer"!
All talents are achieved through experience!
Currently, the internal affairs of Athens are headed by General Jerry Rivad, while the military is under the responsibility of General Leodale.
At the end of November.
After the expansion of the kiln factory was completed, batches of bricks were fired and sent to the construction facilities in the territory.
With a turn, there are much fewer problems in construction and material use.
At least we don’t have to consume a lot of labor to mine stones like before. With the technology of this era, quarrying is definitely a very troublesome thing!
In the evening.
Murphy, who had been to the university for an afternoon inspection, returned to the Governor's House.
Everything in the university has now entered the formality. Since I hope to study the distilled liquor as soon as possible to exchange food for satisfaction, Murphy decided to hand over the task of developing soju to scholars in the university to handle. Today, a considerable breakthrough has been made. It is estimated that the soju distilled from corn wine can be produced on a large scale for up to one week.
The current degree of soju is about thirty-five degrees.
Murphy didn't know whether humans in this world could adapt to this kind of spirit wine, so he didn't set the wine too high at once.
From November on, the climate in the southern plains gradually became colder.
This will last until spring begins around January next year, and the weather will gradually warm up. There are about two and a half months left in winter, and Murphy has to speed up the pace to promote this stronger liquor.
In such a primitive era, wine is not just for pleasure.
To a large extent, spirits are prepared for winter heating. Especially for smart creatures living in cold and bitter areas, spirits are an indispensable part of their lives!
Good wine drives away the chills. That's all.
As long as the soju can be mass-produced, even if the barbarians do not like it, those dwarves who are addicted to alcohol will definitely be happy to buy it.
Perhaps consider trading a batch of high-quality weapons from them.
……………………
"Mr. Murphy, this was sent by Mrs. Elizabeth." As soon as she took off her coat, a maid brought a letter to Murphy.
The paper mill in the territory has been completed, and there is no problem with the paper currently being produced and sold.
Murphy reached out to take the letter and opened the beeswax on it.
The handwriting is beautiful, but the writing is very powerful. It is exactly what Mrs. Elizabeth always writes.
The letter states the current progress of the porcelain and states that this more gorgeous thing is very popular among human nobles. If it can be made more exquisitely, it can even be sold as a commodity to other races such as elves dwarves.
At present, technology is still a must.
However, in terms of external sales, Murphy handed over it to Mrs. Elizabeth for full rights reserved. She has talent and connections in this regard and is the most suitable candidate. The income from selling porcelain is now 40% of the money Murphy and Mrs. Elizabeth, 60% of it belongs to Murphy, and 40% of it belongs to Mrs. Elizabeth. The current cooperative relationship is that Murphy is only responsible for making porcelain and improving the level of craftsmanship, while the expansion of external sales channels is fully handed over to Mrs. Elizabeth for handling.
As long as the craftsmanship of making porcelain can be improved, porcelain will definitely be the main part of territory trade in the future!
After changing into a looser dress, Murphy walked towards the backyard with a plate of dessert.
After spending a month or two, he gradually got used to the life of raising a mermaid at home. He gradually got used to and began to enjoy it every morning and woke up in her wonderful singing, and after a day of fatigue, he listened to her singing and snarled for a while.
This is a very strange emotion.
At first it was like raising a beautiful pet, but it gradually became an indispensable part of life.
He likes her singing and her appearance like a lotus.
This day, the backyard was quite cold.
Murphy didn't hear the sound of water, nor did he hear the sound of bells tugging at the mermaids chatting.
He put down the plate and his pace couldn't help but speed up.
The surroundings are very quiet.
He did not see Helen standing upright as before, water droplets slid down her long silver-white hair, and her stunning face smiled at him.
There is nothing in the pool!
Murphy couldn't help but hold his hands tightly. He walked around the backyard quickly, but still couldn't find the mermaid.
Helen has the ability to walk on land. This mermaid has a long and narrow tail. She can swing and walk like a snake, and it is very fast!
But she couldn't leave the water for too long, and she wasn't very adaptable to life on land.
Where has she gone?
Murphy couldn't help but feel nervous.
When he found out that he had become accustomed to Helen's existence, he also realized that the mermaid was getting heavier and heavier in his heart.
It's not just because of her natural charm.
In fact, this mermaid never took the initiative to display her innate charming ability on Murphy.
She never took the initiative to leave the backyard half a step!?
Nervous, worried, anxious.
All kinds of emotions were fusion for a kind of violent, and for the first time Murphy was unable to control his body and mind with reason. He was now like a child who suddenly lost something important, and his heart was influenced by inexplicable anger!
"Did you see Helen?" Murphy walked out quickly and grabbed a passing maid and said in a deep voice.
The maid seemed to be frightened by Murphy's gloomy face.
She shook her head nervously.
At this moment, the high priest's gentle and peaceful voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"You're back." The high priest slowly walked into the backyard, his soft eyes fell on Murphy and said softly.
The voice of the high priest seemed to have a kind of magic.
In an instant, all the anxiety and anger in Murphy's heart was cremated!
Murphy suddenly became quiet, and after calming down, he also understood that Helen could not encounter any danger in the Governor's Mansion.
The high priest came to Murphy's side. She stroked Murphy's forehead with her hands and said softly: "The Temple of Love has been established."
"You go and take a look with me."
Murphy was stunned.
Then he thought about something!
Chapter completed!
