Chapter 91 [Pantheon] While Columbus continued to explore the storm area and accumulate experience, the Vasco da Gama fleet and the Dias fleet heading to the east were now in an embarrassing situation. There is no wind. Since the day before yesterday, when entering the waters of the Gold Coast, there has been no wind at sea. The entire fleet is slowly driven by the ocean currents. The opening of the route is far away, and the distance to the Cape of Good Hope storm area is still unknown. How long will it take. "Captain, we are about to arrive at Limon Bay!" the lookout on the Aris reported loudly to Li Sihui. Li Si has watched videos of Columbus entering the storm area in the past few days. Time is running out before the route is opened and Columbus reaches America. Li Si must speed up his pace. In Limon Bay, the Aris successfully docked. During this journey, the sailors recruited later have been promoted to ordinary senior sailors, but no sailors have been promoted to special sailors. Instructing the sailors to rest on their own, Lis returned to Barro Colorado Island again. Compared with before Lis left, the new city of Teotihuacan looked exactly the same every day. Under the leadership of the Toltecs, the construction of the city The speed is getting faster and faster, especially the large-scale use of iron tools, which has played a huge role in promoting the construction of cities. "Your Majesty the Consul, are you back!?" Just as Li Si was walking in the new city, a surprising voice sounded. Li Si turned around and saw that it was Duo Duo, a craftsman in the current Academy of Sciences. "I just came back. The construction of the new city is progressing very quickly!" Li Si stopped and said to Duoduo with a smile. "Yes, thanks to the iron tools you invented, the new city was built much faster than before!" Duoduo was full of praise for the iron tools, "By the way, sir, the temple was completed today, and all the temples The priests rushed to the Pantheon! "What? The Pantheon was built so quickly?" Li Si was really shocked this time. Although they had said it would be built soon, they would not say that. It took three months, but how long has passed now? In less than one and a half months, it was actually completed. This speed is too shocking. "Quick, let's go take a look!" Li Si took Warren and rushed to the Pantheon with Duoduo. Along the way, people kept heading towards the Pantheon. When Li Si arrived at the Pantheon, there was already a gathering in front of the Pantheon. A large number of residents arose. The Pantheon was planned to be very large from the beginning. Li Si looked at the Pantheon and was deeply shocked. The towering Pantheon was even more shocking than the previous plan. The base is 600 meters long on a side and 250 meters high. This is definitely the tallest building in the world. This is a miracle building. The Mexican-style ancient pyramid has gates of the same size on the four sides of the pyramid. The gates are carved with rune statues of different tribal gods, and a large amount of gold produced by Li Si was used on them. The temple is extremely luxurious. There are four gates on each side of the pyramid, for a total of sixteen temples. At the top, there is a large Athenian-style temple, a huge temple supported by round stone pillars. There will be a real Pantheon, in which all the gods of the American tribes will gather. On the Pantheon, the temple priests of all tribes are carefully inspecting the newly built temples. They are so majestic. Each temple is extremely grand. It is more than 200 meters high. It takes a lot of effort just to go up. After a while, such a tall building was absolutely incredible to the primitive Native Americans. Li Si climbed up the steps. At the top of the Pantheon, he met a group of priests who were visiting and inspecting the Pantheon. The High Priest of the Moon was also among them. "High Priest, long time no see!" Li Si first said hello to the Moon High Priest. "Mr. Consul, you are back." The high priest said hello to Li Si calmly. "Mr. Archon, you came back just in time!" Although the high priest was very calm, the other temple priests were excited. "You are really a great man. This Pantheon is so majestic!" "With this Pantheon, the gods will be very happy!" The priests were full of praise for the Pantheon, and Li Si smiled: " Congratulations, everyone. The success of the Pantheon is inseparable from the efforts of the craftsmen who built the Pantheon. In fact, I am also shocked that such a magnificent Pantheon can be built in such a short period of time. I don¡¯t know how the craftsmen did it. "It's here." List paused, "But no matter what, its completion is a miracle. This is the greatest blessing from the gods to our empire!" "Oh - oh! ¡ª¡ªThank the gods! Thank the gods!" The surrounding crowd cheered loudly when they heard Li Si's words. "With the Pantheon now built, in theory we canI immediately asked the gods for blessings, but I wanted to wait half a month before holding the founding ceremony! Li Si thought for a while and said to the priests and elders of the Senate: "There are many things in the empire that are not perfect yet. In this month and a half, I will complete all the necessary things, and then hold a prayer ceremony!" " "Since the consul said so, it will start in half a month. It will take time to carve the new statue! "The high priest, as the chief elder of the Senate, affirmed Li Si's proposal. "Okay! The next thing needs to be discussed by the elders together and signed documents! Li Si looked at the elders: "Let's start our meeting in this Pantheon!" " At Li Si's suggestion, everyone entered the Pantheon and began to discuss the founding of the country. The first item was the currency system. Li Si needed to add American currency to the system's gold coin system and use gold coins to replace the current barter. "gold? What is a gold coin? "An elder asked. "This is the gold coin! "Li Si took out a few gold coins from his backpack and handed them to the elders to watch. In America, although there is a lot of gold, there are not many gold coins. If gold is to be converted into gold coins, gold coins are needed. The gold coin is a system gold coin with only a scale-like pattern on it. After a group of elders circulated it, the gold coin returned to Li Si's hands. Li Si held the gold coin and said to them: "What we have to do is to transfer the gold. Gold coins cast in this style are necessary for communication with the outside world after the sea route is opened! " Li Si said very solemnly: "And gold is what I have in my hand! Li Si took out a gold brick from his backpack and said, "Gold coins are made from it!" ¡± The currency system is a reminder given by the territory panel. It is a must for a country. What Li Si has to do now is how to promote gold coins. This requires the approval of a group of elders. When the time comes, it will be implemented naturally. .
