Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 100 Social Survey of Seleucia (End)
Anna in the shoulder carriage seems to have some enlightenment, but it is not very thorough. Today's parade really made her gain a lot and understand a lot of truths. This barbarian's knowledge is very strange. Sometimes he has no idea about the etiquette system of the empire. Looks like he knows nothing, but in some aspects Gawain, who had a keen understanding of human affairs and even rode beside his chariot, openly said to her, "Don't you hope to take over both the Mutt Valley and Alamein Castle in the future? Then these housekeepers and deacons, It’s one of the keys to solving the problem.”
"Really?" Anna suddenly flashed her big eyes, leaning on the armrest with one hand, thinking thoughtfully as the carriage shook slightly.
"What, Gawain and the little one came here together!" The female consul who was discussing summer and autumn farming with the elders in the synagogue of Rum Town was shocked. She didn't know why, but after thinking about it carefully, she passed by Caron City. After the "Women's Meeting", Anna did not gain much advantage in the confrontation with her. There was no need to mess up the situation. If she wanted to use the "wisdom of the vixen", she hurriedly asked Lucios and Philus to take the lead first. The believer went to greet him. He hid in the inner room first, looked at the mirror, and saw that his appearance inside was bright and pleasant. If he went out, he would not look like he had been "defiled and destroyed" by Gawain. , on the contrary, it will arouse the jealousy of Anna, a narrow-minded little person, because Gawain mentioned in his private words to her on the bed: Although Anna is almost fifteen years old, Gawain has never been involved in chastity.
"The princess is too young, that would be extremely harmful to her health." This is Gawain's explanation.
So that’s what it has to be? Put yourself aside and be intimate with Anna all day long like a father and daughter with a weird look!
Thinking of this, Kabeamiya pushed the mirror down bitterly.
"Your Excellency the Archon requested that we send our greetings to the Princess in Purple and General Stratigos. In order to avoid some bad and painful memories, she has retreated to her private room. We will be responsible for the reception of the inspector afterwards. ." Philus and Lucios said as they fell in front of the chariot.
Gawain looked embarrassed. But in my heart, I felt that it was a wise move for Holy Sister to do this. But among the crowd, Anna and Agnes looked disappointed, as if they were a well-prepared army, but they couldn't find the target to attack, and they could only pounce in vain.
After nightfall, they and the soldiers accompanying them. They stayed overnight in the square synagogue in the town of Rum. Anna and Agnes slept in the inner room, while Gawain and his followers stayed in the halls and courtyards.
The next day was sunny again, and by the time Anna finished washing herself and stretched out of the hall, she had already seen the Pauline believers. There was a long procession, carrying wicker baskets on their backs and walking towards Hardy's High Ridge, while Gawain stood in the middle of the yard, asking about the same confusion as hers.
"We have planted crocuses and wormwood on the slopes of the high ridge." This was Philus's answer.
"The former is a valuable medicinal herb, and the latter can make wine." Gawain explained to Anna that both of them are highland crops. Since the Paulists were able to spare manpower for cultivation, this meant that their food production in the resettlement land was sufficiently guaranteed.
This is indeed the case, and the four market towns under the control of Cabe Amiya were sealed. and the surrounding farmland, the Pauline believers and the liberated tenant farmers who stayed behind lived harmoniously among the fields and furrows. "The consul's fields have a two-field system!" Agnes said - she saw The fields were neatly divided. After the wheat was harvested, half of the fields were left idle, while the other half was being sown with rye. Rye and oats are both very effective "emergency crops" with short maturation cycles. It can effectively alleviate famine.
On the steep slope in the distance, many people were working hard with various tools, including iron hoes and pickaxes. Excavate and remove the miscellaneous trees and rocks on it, and level the slope. "We are going to open terraces on it to increase the harvest in this area. The excavated stones will be briefly polished and used to build aqueducts and flood control embankments." Lucios pointed at this scene and introduced them to them.
"What's the biggest difficulty?" Gawain asked.
"The lack of draft animals makes it very inconvenient to plow and carry, and many tasks must be completed by manpower. We are even short of cattle now, and only have a few small female donkeys and mules. The families of the large landowners in the Mutt Valley There are a lot of cattle here, but they are never loaned out, not even rented. "
"I will find a way to solve it, but in return, you believers need to pay a lot of taxes, especially absinthe and saffron, which can be used as tribute in autumn to replace taxes." Gawain said in a somewhat evil tone. Come on, Lucious. and Philus both lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, respectfully, and repeatedly said that they relied on them. In fact, in the hearts of these two believer elders, they already knew from the consuls that Gawain secretly converted to their sect, and now he is still their " Archon."
Behind her, Anna frowned, thinking that there must be some ulterior deal behind Gawain's closeness to ordinary heretics.
"This two-tooth hoe can effectively dig deep soil." After a while, at the farmhouse, Gawain began to inspect the farm tools sent by Paul, and then he picked up the flail. "This is an instrument that can effectively thresh grains. Shouzuo Officials also used it as a weapon, and just now, tenant farmers were still using stones to thresh grain on the Ginat property in the Mut Valley. "
"What is this?" Anna pointed to the other side of the farmhouse in a low voice. Many women were gathering there, each holding a branch and cutting something.
Gawain then walked over. When the girls saw him, they lowered their heads to each other, showed their white teeth cheerfully, looked at him and smiled, "What are you doing?" Gawain asked, lowering his waist.
"Shrub branches, cut them off and bury them in the ground to make them fatter." Several girls rushed to answer, and then leaned against each other, laughing and joking.
"It's a kind of green manure, I think." Gawain turned back to Anna and said.

"Indeed, Agnes, the Pauline village market is much superior in agriculture to the real estate in Guinat, because as far as I know, what they get, except for taxes and part of it given to the synagogue of the evangelical elders, The rest all belong to themselves, so according to Gawain's words, this group of farmers can unite to resist disasters, And enthusiastically innovate technology, build water conservancy projects under the supervision of leaders, and increase output." Anna came to a conclusion, and then she continued to Agnes, "We can't lose, you belong to Pulani. Descendants of Minerva, I will soon be on the ground of Seleucia, and I hope to see the new tools you invented display their power."
"This is inevitable, please leave it to me with peace of mind, Your Highness Princess." Agnes vowed. (To be continued ~^~)
