Chapter 414: Settlement of the Temple of the Gods
Qiuqiu stroked Qinqin's soft hair soothingly: "To unify the nations, we must pave the way with corpses. It is impossible to unify this divided land without war."
"This piece of land, only half the size of China, is home to over 30 countries."
"Yes, so we can only try our best to reduce casualties and build a relatively stable and strong country." Still continuing to persuade!
He glanced at Qingxu and Qishu, who were assisting the high priest in arranging the people in the Temple of the Gods, and said, "You and Qishu should draw a detailed map of this continent together. We need to make plans."
"Planning what?"
"First, we need to build cities and roads, both by land and water. Secondly, we need to unify the language, writing system, weights and measures, and currency. These all need to be advanced after unifying the countries."
"Well, war is necessary. It's a good opportunity for the legion to see blood." A soldier who has never been to the battlefield is not a real soldier.
"Inform Xu Yan that after three months of training, you will go to the battlefield. I will provide all military supplies and select 5,000 soldiers to train as special forces."
Qing Wu's eyes lit up with excitement: "Okay, I'll let you know right away."
"Five thousand is a little too few. We need at least ten thousand soldiers to be the spearhead."
Qiuqiu pondered for a moment and said, "The newly-accepted disciples of the Servant God Temple who have not yet entered the Qi training stage and do not have spiritual roots but are willing to join the Xu family, you should bring them to Mingshan within three days and hand them over to Xu Yan so that he can train with you."
This is the armed force prepared to be left in this world.
The Temple of the Gods' official army consisted of no more than 50,000 men. They had been ordered to undergo a spiritual root test. Those with a predestined affinity for immortality would follow the gods, while those without could return home if they wished. The rest would remain as they were. These troops would receive special training from Xu Yan and would form the foundation of the new nation.
Among the 50,000-strong army, more than 700 people were found to have a connection with the immortals. Together with the disciples selected by the Temple of Servant of the Gods, they were sent back to Mingshan for training by Qinqin in a flying boat, including the high priest and Ning Yue.
There were more than 10,000 veterans who returned home, and each received a retirement allowance of ten strings of copper coins.
The remaining 30,000-plus people participated in the new training program.
There were also more than 700 disciples and nearly 2,000 of their family members, all of whom were taken into the space by Qiuqiu to do odd jobs.
Being assigned labor, planting and harvesting low-grade spiritual medicines, promoting the planting of diversified crops, and starting up multiple production workshops all require a large amount of manpower.
Bai Er is in charge of various supplies and daily necessities. Those with spiritual roots can eat fasting pills, while mortals without spiritual roots need to eat every day.
All kinds of daily necessities are in urgent need every day, and now they are just relying on the daily necessities brought from Blue Star to survive! As the number of people recruited by Qiuqiu increases, her pressure is also increasing.
Now that the military supplies for 50,000 mortals have suddenly been increased, she wishes Qingxu could refine puppets, farm, and cook.
Five thousand people were gathered together to provide logistics, which solved the urgent problem.
Once the families of regular soldiers have received training and have acquired the necessary working capabilities, the current situation can basically be resolved.
The Xu family also intends to recruit particularly outstanding soldiers trained in this world, especially those who want to join the Xu family army. They can take their families with them without any worries.
The most difficult group to deal with are the more than 10,000 young children, ranging from three to eleven or twelve years old, who are the fresh blood recruited by the Temple of the Gods.
These children will be trained to be loyal supporters of the Temple of the Gods. After bloody training, it will be considered a good thing if 30% of them can survive. Those with mediocre abilities will join the army of the Temple of the Gods, while those with excellent abilities will be sent to the offices of the elders. After studying for a few years, they will be sent to the Temple of the Gods stations in various countries.
Qiuqiu separated those with spiritual roots from those without and had Bai Er find a tribesman to teach them how to read. They learned the basics of numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as the pinyin alphabet and the 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters. They also taught length, weight, volume, and other things according to modern standards, and were expected to complete the task within six months.
These people already had a cultural foundation, learned quickly, and could serve as pioneers of the new country.
There are no more than 10,000 people left guarding the Temple of the Gods. With Qing Xu, the master of refining, running the temple, the Temple of the Gods is originally a damaged space magic weapon that can accommodate people who need to migrate.
All the migrants entered the underground level of the Temple of the Gods, which was a place similar to a mustard seed space. It was supposed to be a spiritual medicine garden, but because it was severely damaged and the spiritual power inside was lost, it was now just a wasteland and a barren mountain.
Qing Xu used the ancient art of controlling objects that had been passed down in his inheritance to take control of the Servant God Temple. Qiuqiu and others evacuated the once most prosperous and bustling Servant God City.
Qingxu and his companions had frequently entered the primeval forest to cut down timber in order to extract minerals, so they were very familiar with the virgin forest here! It only took three days to find a new place to settle, rich in spiritual energy and beautiful environment.
"Let's choose this place. It's better than the Xu family's land on Blue Star." Xu Ye sighed.
Qiuqiu shared his thoughts with everyone: "I was worried about not having enough food after leaving the Temple of the Gods here, but I didn't expect that the Temple of the Gods itself has a mustard seed space!
Although the area is not very large, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and two small hills where you can grow some medicinal herbs and fruit trees!
There is a spiritual mineral vein underground here, and it is close to the largest river in the forest, so there is no need to worry about water supply.
I left them grain seeds and tools, gave them some training techniques, and set up a third-grade mountain protection formation!
Make 10,000 identity tokens. According to the sect's operating model, there shouldn't be too much differentiation between levels. As long as the disciples pass the state of mind test, they can enter and leave freely."
Xu Ye nodded in agreement. "The Temple of the Gods has had a thousand-year-old foundation, and it has taken deep roots in various countries, large and small. Although we acted quickly, we cannot commit murder without reason. It is best to trap them, but we should not keep those who have committed serious crimes."
Qishu stepped forward to explain: "The Temple of the Gods claims to be the messengers of God, and is extremely averse to killing people without permission. In the past, the Temple of the Gods was only about spiritual beliefs and the export of medicine, and had no real political power!
In the past hundred years, the power of the God-Serving Palace has grown. Not only does it have its own army, it also has its own political power. There are three major countries and seven small countries where the God-Serving Palace can directly decide the replacement of the king.
"Then we'll make it more difficult for them to get down the mountain, close it off for three to five years, and let them be self-sufficient in terms of daily necessities!
"Give them a bigger area outside. Grandpa, look at this mountain, plus the three freshwater lakes next to it, this forest, and include the diversion of this big river. We must give them the conditions to be self-sufficient."
Qing Xu: "Mother, are you going to build a new city for them? That's a bit troublesome."
Qishu stepped out and said, "It's not a problem. My little sister is not here, so I can't speak or do anything. I'm here with this magical hoe. I can repair the city wall in less than two days."
