Aztec Eternals

The sun slanted westward slightly and fell into the hall of priests. The spices in the censer had been burned out, and a high priest was about to add more, but the high priest waved his hand. Although the breath of the gods is refreshing, it is not a good thing to breathe too much.

"Calculating the time, the arrest in Tlacopan has already begun."

The high priest smiled calmly, stood up, went to the priest's apse, and had some simple snacks.

Xiulot sat cross-legged in the hall, carefully checking the alliance's household registration and field acreage figures.

These figures were carefully collected by the priests of the villages in various places, combined with the estimates of the tribute routines in various places, and counted layer by layer. Obviously, these numbers won't be very accurate. But in this era, they are important and rare secrets, the foundation of ruling the country, and also reflect the degree of control of the central government over the local area. Apart from the centralized alliances and kingdoms, the remaining ministries in the world probably don't even have such rough figures.

"God blesses the Mexica Alliance, which governs the four directions of the world. The great temple is in the world, and the surrounding one or two hundred miles is Gyeonggi, which is directly under the alliance. It is a rich valley bestowed by the Lord God! The population of Gyeonggi is more than 1.5 million, Ding About 500,000 hectares, 8-10 million mu of Milpa in the lake area, and 15,000 hectares in China in the lake area.”

Seeing this, Shulot was slightly taken aback. With a radius of one or two hundred miles around the Great Temple, it is directly under the Gyeonggi? In this way, not only the holy city within a hundred miles northeast of the Texcoco Lake District, but also his hometown of Teotihuacan, as well as the enfeoffed city-states further north, were all directly under the alliance! He raised his head and wanted to ask his grandfather, but found that his grandfather had disappeared at some point.

"Gyeonggi with a population of 1.5 million! The Mexica Valley in the Texcoco Lake District is indeed extremely prosperous! The agricultural level of the Lake District far exceeds that of other parts of the world!"

Shulot sighed inwardly. Then, he silently estimated.

The alliance is a small-mu system, and one square kilometer is 2,500 small acres. Each hectare of floating fields on the lake can support 20 people, and 15,000 hectares can support 300,000 people. If the remaining 1.2 million people are allowed to cultivate 10 million mu of Mirpa, the average land grant per person is only 7-8 small mu. During the cultivation of Milpa, at least half of the fields have to be rested in rotation, so the actual cultivated area per person is only 3-4 mu. However, in a kingdom with a large area and few people, 20 mu of land is granted per town, and 8 mu of land is actually cultivated.

"In this way, the Valley of Mexico is indeed densely populated, and the population in the Gyeonggi area is extremely prosperous! Around Lake Texcoco, all the fields that can be reclaimed are almost reclaimed, and even the hills are planted with sweet potatoes. Amazing civilians. Both river mud and manure are applied on Chinampa, which maintains an astonishingly high yield. There is a huge urbanized population in the capital city of the lake, which depends on the supply of farmers in Gyeonggi. The crops in the Americas are already high enough, and there is no fertilizer. With large livestock, this should be the limit of what the Valley of Mexico can support!"

Xiu Luote pondered secretly, thinking about the current situation of the alliance's Gyeonggi, and recalling Zeng Jin's "future".

In the pre-Columbian era at the end of the 15th century, the Valley of Mexico in the Texcoco Lake District reached its most prosperous apex. When the Spanish colonists arrived here, everyone was shocked by the astonishing wealth and prosperity of the Texcoco Lake District. They had never seen a land so densely populated, rich in products, rich in gold and silver.

After the sparsely populated colonists captured the capital of the lake, out of fear of a large number of Mexica gatherings, in order to stabilize the early colonial rule, they frantically destroyed the dyke on Lake Texcoco, let the salt water flow back, and then let it dry Lake Texcoco.

The floating fields in the lake were destroyed, and Milpa along the lake also fell into barrenness, permanently reducing the upper limit of the population of the valley. In the mid-16th century, man-made famines spread along with European diseases. Within a few decades, the population of the Valley of Mexico has plummeted by nearly 90%! The once-prosperous Mexica civilization was completely destroyed by alien races, and countless bones were left unburied. It was not until the early 20th century, around 1920, that the population of the Valley of Mexico barely recovered to its pre-Columbian peak.

"To change the dynasty is to subjugate the country; to lead beasts to eat people is to perish the world! When Meng Yuan went south, he raced to enclose land, changed farmland into pastures, and destroyed the canals along the river. It's the same as this!"

Thinking of this, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, but his expression became more determined. After so many trials, at this moment, he has confidence in his mind and his will is as strong as iron.

"As long as I'm here, I can completely change everything and rewrite the history of Central American civilization!"

After a long while, Shulot calmed down the turmoil and continued to look down.

"Outside of Gyeonggi, according to the calculation of tribute, the total number of western city-states is more than 500,000, that of Tepanika Panbang is about 220,000, and that of Tolokanbang is about 300,000. Milpa should be between 3 and 5 million mu. The number of acres is unknown."

Seeing this, Shulot raised his brows and pondered in his heart.

"Tolokambang has a population of 300,000! From this point of view, I'm afraid I have always underestimated the importance of the Trokambang mountain family."

"The secret guards of the alliance are in Tolokanbang, and they have been arranged for a long time."

The high priest remained calm, and after lunch, he came to Shulot again. He glanced at the document in Shulot's hand, and reminded him lightly.

"Izel of the Mountain family is related to the Alliance secret guards. This young man has great ambitions. As for the Chunyu family who once contradicted you at the banquet, the high priests have sent temple guards to punish them."

"Chunyu Family, Shaopan Patriarch"

Shulot was slightly taken aback, and memories from the past flooded into his mind. he asked.

"How will the high priests punish them?"

"The whole clan's men will be killed. All the servants and female relatives will be exiled to the city of Xilotepec."

The high priest said flatly, without any change on his face.

"Now, Patriarch Shaopan should have consecrated the head. Just take this opportunity to completely take back the power of the Priests of the Goddess of Spring, and let the Priest of Tolokan take over the religious authority of the city-state."

".Um."

Shulot lowered his eyes slightly and nodded. He pondered in his heart, his grandfather was obviously eager to act. Suppressing his full of doubts, Xiulot opened the document again.

"The southern city-states have a total population of 600,000-700,000. The Southwest Laziko State has a population of 380,000, the South Kuonawak State has a population of 140,000, and the Southeast Watts Tepek State has a population of 130,000. Milpa has about 400- 6 million mu, about 1,000 hectares in Chinampa, the details are unknown.”

"Lachikopang is an important town in the southwest, with fertile land and a very prosperous population. There are rivers and lakes scattered there, and there are also Chinanpa floating fields. During the Western Expedition, most of the food for the Southern Route Army came from nearby Latikobang. And the southeast of Watts Tepek State borders with the alliance's old enemy, the Tlaxcala. There are rolling hills, dense fortresses, and sturdy folk customs. It belongs to the military city-state on the frontier. In recent years, the southeast of the alliance has suffered several times from Tlaxcala. People invaded and the population gradually declined”

The high priest smiled and spoke again.

"Sholot, my son. If you join the Southern Route Army, you will use Wattstepec State as your base and march eastward! I will promulgate the decree and write another book, so that the priest of Wattstepec will do his best I support you!"

Hearing this, Xiu Luo nodded with a smile on his face. He looked at the next document.

"The northern city-states have a total population of 410,000. Xilotepec in the northwest has 130,000, Metzitlan in the north has 80,000, Atotonilke in the northeast has 200,000, and Milpa has about 2.5-3.5 million mu."

The author is sorting out the specific alliance data, and it will be a bit slow to write when looking at the previous population model. One week at the beginning of the month is double the monthly pass time, Mao Mao sincerely asks for support!
