    Chapter 130

    "I have seen the Goddess of Agriculture" He bowed slightly and respectfully saluted the goddess who came out of nothingness.

    The golden light gradually dissipated, revealing an alluring beauty. Different from the slightly green beauty of Sophia and Artemis, the woman in front of her, whether it was her shy face or that  The graceful and luxurious body reveals a mature beauty.  []

    If Sophia and Artemis are young women who have just entered the marriage hall, then the goddess in front of them is that sexy young woman, with a charm that makes people swallow their saliva in their bones.

    Achilles was not the only one in the small square in front of the temple, but other than him, no one else could see the goddess standing in the void.

    Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, slowly descended from the void to the earth, her charming eyes shining with a ray of golden light, looking at Achilles.

    "Achilles, the legendary prince of Thessaly, I heard your call from above the heaven, and brought this projection to the mortal world."

    The seductive red lips squirmed slightly, and a bone-cutting and soul-eating sound flowed out from the lips and reached Achilles' ears, making his heart twitch involuntarily.

    He secretly took a few deep breaths. The woman in front of him was not a goddess, but a seductive vixen. Just one word made people want to commit a crime.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of mind, to stop yourself from thinking wildly, lower your head as much as possible, so that your eyes don't see Demeter, out of sight is out of mind, so as to avoid making some jokes.

    "Your Majesty the Goddess of Agriculture, I"

    Before he could say the next words, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, had already interrupted, and the enchanting voice sounded in his ears again: "Not long ago, I met Hermes, the god of commerce, your  He has already briefly mentioned the matter to me, so you don¡¯t need to say more.¡±

    Achilles did not expect that the God of Commerce would help him to lobby the Goddess of Agriculture. He couldn't help but feel grateful to him. Then he bowed again and said: "Your Majesty the Goddess, will Thessaly use this honor to be able to  Got your protection?"

    The square fell silent. After Demeter was silent for a moment, she said, "You must have known that it is not an easy task for the Lord God to become the patron saint of a certain city-state."

    Hearing what she said, Achilles couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there was a way to do this. After thinking about it in his heart, he said: "Achilles is stupid. Please tell me how to do it."  May Thessaly receive your protection."

    Demeter had a smile on her face, and her eyes looked at Achilles, showing an expression of admiration, and said: "Although Thessaly has hundreds of thousands of people and a vast land, it is difficult to sow seeds."  There were few fields for crops, and the harvest was not even enough to keep all the people of Thessaly away from hunger.¡±

    "If you want me to be the patron saint of Thessaly, then you must first cultivate 20,000 feet of land and sow all the crops. When the harvest is harvested, I will appear in Thessaly again."

    Hearing Demeter's request, Achilles couldn't help but gasped. One foot is equivalent to one and a half acres, which means that at least 30,000 acres of land need to be cultivated.

    With the tools of this era, land reclamation itself is not an easy task. The continuous reclamation of 30,000 acres of land can be said to be a huge project.

    Achilles estimated that in Thessaly now, all the fields that have been reclaimed are probably only 40,000 to 50,000 acres. Without advanced tools, the 30,000 acres of fields that were reclaimed this time would be at least 40,000 acres.  It took nearly ten thousand people and several months to complete.

    Unlike later generations, in ancient Greece in the 13th century BC, thousands of people were involved in the project, which was already considered a huge project for a kingdom like Thessaly.

    ??And this time, nearly 10,000 people were mobilized and the project spanned several months. The current Thessaly simply cannot afford it.

    Although Thessaly has hundreds of years of history and some accumulation in the treasury, due to its large population base, there is little remaining wealth except for those nobles.

    ¡°If nearly ten thousand people are deployed to cultivate fields at this time, large areas of cultivated fields will inevitably be abandoned, harvests will be reduced, and famine will occur.

    Achilles was thinking about the feasibility of the entire project. He now had more than a hundred bags of gold on hand. If it were all replaced by grain, it would be a hundred thousand bags of grain, enough to feed ten thousand people for two days.  Three years.

    But the question is, where can we buy so much food? Although the food in Thessaly isSome nobles have a lot of grain in their hands, but it will not exceed 100,000 bags at most, and the nobles will definitely not sell all their grain.

    In this era, gold is certainly exciting, but food is the basis of survival. If you have gold but no food, you will still starve.

    On the other hand, powerful city-states like Mycenae and Trojan Athens would definitely be able to buy a large amount of food, but Thessaly did not have a large fleet, so such a large amount of food could not be transported back at all.

    The only thing that can be considered now is to find ways to make some metal agricultural tools. With advanced agricultural tools, the speed of land reclamation will increase exponentially, and accordingly, the number of people needed will also decrease.

    Anyway, in his plan, he planned to set aside a piece of land, purchase slaves, and carry out large-scale land reclamation.

    Although the land that needs to be cultivated now has increased four to five times on the original basis, if the goddess of agriculture can be made the patron saint of Thessaly, then this will definitely be a profitable business.

    After thinking about this, he no longer hesitated and nodded: "There is no problem in cultivating 20,000 square feet of land, but you have to give me time to prepare. After all, this is not a small matter and requires nearly 10,000 people."

    "Achilles, I'm waiting for your good news" Demeter nodded, and after giving Achilles a meaningful look, the space ripples in the square appeared again, and under Achilles'  Watching, it disappeared into nothingness.

    Looking at the empty void, Achilles stopped for a long time, and then turned around and left the temple dedicated to the goddess of agriculture.

    When Achilles returned to his residence, Sophia and Inas were chatting together. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard Sophia's crisp laughter.

    "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Stepping into the room, Achilles looked at the two beautiful people and asked curiously.

    Seeing that he was back, Sophia stood up from the floor covered with animal skins like a little woman waiting for her husband to come back, and said, "He's back."

    Looking at her gentle look, Achilles felt hot in his heart and couldn't help but reach out and touch her fair cheek.

    "Did you eat breakfast?"

    Sophia nodded and responded softly: "Well, not long after you left, the maids delivered the meals."

    Achilles turned to look at Inas and asked with concern: "Inas, how do you feel? Can you get used to the life here?"

    Inas is like a lovely elf, who always makes people feel doting in their hearts. She showed a sweet smile and happily replied: "It's much more lively here than in the sea. I like it."  of."

    "Your Highness, Zomochus is here." Before Achilles could sit down, Funix's voice came from outside the door, and Zomochus had arrived.

    "Phoenix, go to Theseus and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

    After Funix left, he did not stay in the room anymore. After giving Sophia a few words, he also left the room and headed towards another hall at the front.

    In the hall, besides Zomokos, there were two middle-aged men. Achilles briefly observed that these were also two demigods.

    After a brief exchange of greetings with each other, and through the introduction of Zomochus, Achilles had a general understanding of these two demigods. Zomokos and Danis, the famous demigods in Thessaly, were also his supporters.  By.

    ????????? Achilles is relatively reassured about Zomokos. Since he brought these two people, they must be extremely reliable.

    "About the formation of the army, you must have heard from Zomokos." Achilles looked at the two of them and directly brought the topic to the topic.

    Zomokos and Danis nodded one after another. From their calm faces, Achilles could still catch a trace of excitement.

    "Your Highness, if you have any orders, just give them. The two of us will definitely support you with our full support."

    Achilles nodded with satisfaction and was not in a hurry to say anything. He glanced at the open door. Light footsteps came from outside the door, and then Theseus walked in from the outside.

    "Your Highness" Although he was only wearing a linen robe and had some disguise on his face, he could still catch the dusty aura on his body.

    "Let me introduce to you, this is Decius, who helps me take charge of all the wealth. Decius, this is Zomokos, Zomokos and Danis, the three powerful demigods of Thessaly, whom I inherit.  support for the throne??.  "

    After briefly introducing each other, the four of them bowed and saluted respectively. They were all smart people and knew that they would work together in the future, so they were all extremely enthusiastic.

    "I called you here today, firstly, to meet each other and get to know each other, and secondly, to give you a few words about forming an army."

    "You must remember these points. First, no one can know about this army, especially the nobles in the kingdom, before the soldiers in this army are fully trained. Second, ensure the absolute loyalty of the soldiers in the army.  "

    At this point, he paused and emphasized his tone: "In this army, I hope that only my voice will appear and obey my orders. This is the last and most important point. If  If you think you can do it, I will fully support you, but if you think you can't do it, then I can only say sorry."

    The three of them looked at each other with solemn expressions. After a long silence, Zomokos made a decision, stood up, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will not let you down. This army will only listen to you."  Orders, not even a meeting of nobles, can affect it.¡±

    After receiving his answer, Achilles nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Theseus and said, "Deseus, you will allocate the money and food needed to form an army."
