The average height of men in Athens is about 1.65 meters, while the height of soldiers is 1.7 meters or more. Women''s stature should be smaller, ranging from 1.5 to 1.65 meters. Some women who can keep up with nutrition are even higher than men.


    The saying that the ancients were physically cowardly is just bullshit.


    Perhaps the overall height quality is not as high as that of modern people, but regardless of the East and West, the height of the middle and upper classes will not be shorter than that of modern people. In ancient times, there were people who were seven feet and eight feet tall. One foot was 23 cm, and eight feet was 1.84. Among the weapons unearthed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are many long weapons of one meter or more. Do those who deliberately belittle the ancients think that a height of 1.45 meters can use such a long weapon?


    In China, the reason why han people''s physique really regressed was the Qing Dynasty, that is, the hundred year war and the Opium War. After the founding of the people''s Republic of China, the nutritional level gradually kept up, and the physique of Han people began to soar. Often a generation, parents and children can see the physical changes.


    As for the so-called modern people are much smarter than the ancient people, it is even more nonsense.


    The wisdom of modern people comes from the accumulation of the times, stands on countless giants, and is the product of the explosion of scientific and technological knowledge. You can''t compare intelligence quotient with illiterate peasants in ancient times!


    You really have the ability to compare with the ancient scholars to see who plays tricks and who plays dead!


    In short, since the emergence of civilization, the upper limit of human wisdom has not changed much. The key lies in the development of civilization and the popularization of knowledge.


    Everyone who has a knowledge of history knows it.


    The most brilliant period of human civilization is not the modern era, nor the so-called Han, Tang and Renaissance.


    The most brilliant period of human civilization is from 800 BC to 150 BC!


    That is the time when the ancient Greek civilization influenced the Western European world and the schools of thought of the Middle Earth in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period vied with each other!


    It was that era that laid the foundation of human civilization.

    Time went on for a week.


    There was a rainstorm in the southern plain. The rainstorm lasted for three days. The water of the nidoria river was raised by 20 cm. Fortunately, the river was very wide and no disaster happened.


    During this period of time, the construction progress of the territory had to stop, and the training of the soldiers had to be put down for the time being, so they could work hard at home to build people.


    The training and establishment of cavalry units are almost completed, while the establishment of Crete Longbowman was completed the day before yesterday, which was included in the data statistics by the auxiliary system of total war.


    Arms recruitment interface:


    Arms: Crete Bowman


    Recruitment rounds: (0)


    Soldier size (80), experience (1).


    Ranged attack (16), melee attack (5), charge bonus (3), weapon type (Longbow).

    Vitality (1).


    Morale (8).


    Recruitment costs (750), maintenance costs (210).


    Ability: super long range, good endurance, fast movement, fire attack, tunnel digging, good morale.


    Explanation: these skilful shooters gradually adapted to their new weapons, the powerful Centaur longbow. Krits have been trained to be excellent archers since childhood. No one is more suitable for using this kind of weapon than them, and the long bow of Centaur can really play its power only in their hands! Their powerful arrows can easily penetrate the enemy''s body!


    Crete bowmen are equipped with leather armour and dagger, and their melee ability is still very low. So please protect these bowmen.


    The reorganized Crete Bowman has an extra long range attribute.


    This attribute comes from the fact that longbows have a much higher range than ordinary bows. They can shoot more powerful arrows than ordinary bows!


    In summer, with the hot weather and heavy rain, most of the jackals began to shrink into the forest.


    In the hot summer, these creatures will become very lazy and like to stay in a cool place.


    In autumn and winter, jackals are the most aggressive, especially in winter, when they frequently attack human territory.


    Murphy''s territory won a rare respite, at least until the weather cools from summer to autumn, he doesn''t have to worry about these jackals coming out to make trouble. Not only did the jackals in Murphy''s territory become more and more peaceful, but the kazat jackal tribe, which had been stuck with the human city-state, also gradually contracted its defense line as the weather became hotter, giving up part of the territory against human beings and turning inward.


    The human city-state seized this opportunity to train its troops in a large scale, preparing to finish the harvest of Winter Wheat in autumn and compete with the karzat jackal tribe!


    At present, the main crops of human city-state are wheat and a kind of high-yield crops similar to corn.


    Winter wheat is planted in October. After sowing and emergence, the weather turns cold and the wheat hibernates. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the wheat will turn green and grow rapidly. It will be harvested around June. The yield of winter wheat is much higher than that of spring wheat, and after harvest in June, the human city-state will plant a kind of corn like crop produced in the hands of the elves. This kind of crop has good yield and sugar content. It is usually planted alternately with potatoes.


    Although the main development direction of the territory is fishery, farming is the key to the growth of human population.


    Fishery income can bring meat, but the main production direction is mainly farmland. Because spring wheat has been missed, Murphy''s newly reclaimed land is mainly planted with potatoes and fairy corn.


    For six months, Murphy couldn''t have been stupid enough to leave the reclaimed land there.


    As early as after the beginning of trade, Murphy sent farmers to the back of the southern plains to learn about the world''s crops. After some understanding, Murphy found that they basically kept the same with Western crops except for a corn like crop cultivated by the elves. In order to ensure harvest in autumn and winter, Murphy immediately ordered the newly reclaimed 3000 mu of fertile land to be planted with half corn and half potatoes.


    At present, the grain of the territory is mainly purchased from the human city-state, and the grain Murphy in the Treasury has not been used as reserve resources for the time being.


    The advantage of a new territory is here.


    Everything in the territory is dominated by Murphy. It can be said that more than 80% of the territory''s resources are controlled by Murphy himself. At least before the military nobility was granted a reward, the land reclaimed from the territory belonged to Murphy, and half of the grain income had to be handed over to the state treasury.


    At present, the farming mode of the territory is developing to collective farming, that is, all urban residents share farming tools, work together, and then distribute food according to the population.


    This kind of cooperation is feasible in the short term when the population is not large, because Murphy has a great influence in the town! However, once the territory is upgraded to a city, it is necessary to allocate cultivated land to citizens. Soldiers get land because of military achievements, and then the aristocratic system of military achievements will gradually appear, and the strata in the territory will gradually improve.


    Murphy''s current budget is divided into three classes: aristocracy, citizen and poor class. Slaves are not counted.


    The aristocratic system consists of generals and officials at all levels, who are all talented people. Citizens are professionals and soldiers from all walks of life. They are all skilled people. The poor are the mediocre citizens. They only own a small amount of land and have no say in the territory.


    Everyone''s equal, Murphy, unless it''s a brain drain.


    Otherwise, it will never be done!


    Ability determines social status, and talented people are naturally superior to others.


    In fact, to simplify, after the territory has developed into a city, Murphy will plan a class of first-class citizens and second-class citizens, so as to stimulate the motivation of urban residents and make them strive to obtain a higher status.


    In terms of emphasis, because the world is in a relatively primitive world with frequent wars, Murphy will focus on the military merit system.


    That is, Murphy will deliberately elevate the social status of the military. For example, as long as one member of a family joins the army, the whole family will become a citizen class, own a certain amount of land, and pay less taxes than the poor class. Murphy deeply understood that in this turbulent world, the army is the fundamental guarantee of everything!


    These are just his current general plans, which will change with the specific situation.


    The only constant.


    That is, he will always maintain his own dictatorship!
