V2.Chapter 9

    (thanks for "I''m just a white man" 1W reward, thanks for your strong firepower resources! There''s nothing to say. Let''s break out!


    The last one just dabbles in the role of the origin of ancient Greek civilization, unconsciously leading to a bit of historical trend. These things need to be dealt with a little bit. After all, there is a development direction of human civilization in the later period. In fact, I just want to summarize that the city of Athens is based on the origin of a civilization that has not been destroyed, and it is developing bit by bit. As for water injection, I''ve been writing for more than four hours, and I''ve got no credit for it, but I''m tired, right?


    As for why the title is wrong, cover your face. My fault...)


    ------------------------------


    Although papermaking has appeared in this world, the price of paper is still high due to the level of civilization.


    The indigenous people used hemp, rags, bark and other raw materials to make paper. The paper was not very good, yellowing and rough, a bit like the yellow paper used in previous generations, but it was thicker and stronger. The superb papermaking technology is in the hands of the elves, who know how to make a better white paper. The price of spirit paper is very high in the human world. The price of a piece of paper can even buy a sheep!


    At present, the important documents in the southern plain are all written in parchment or cotton cloth, at least before the improvement of papermaking technology, those paper with poor workmanship can not become the mainstream.


    In this world, due to the level of technology, intelligent creatures mainly use four kinds of cloth: linen, wool, cotton, and leather.


    Linen is the main clothing of the poor class, and most of the world grows flax and hemp. Wool is mainly made of wool, and the price is quite high. Only the middle and upper class can afford it. Cotton cloth is from the east of the mainland, has not been popularized, the number is relatively rare. As for leather, there is no need to explain too much. Generally, leather is used to make leather armor.


    Now that we have passed the most difficult initial stage.


    Some people''s livelihood issues, Murphy also had to be taken into account.


    For example, choose a place to grow flax, and graze a batch of lambs in the open area of the plain.


    Another important thing is to build a paper mill in the territory as soon as possible!


    Your mother!


    Murphy had to make complaints about the fact that the world''s paper was so fucking expensive! Twenty pieces of rough yellow paper need a silver coin!


    It''s a shame.


    If the university really starts. The amount of paper needed to write and record knowledge is absolutely large. If you buy all of them, the cost is really not small. Moreover, the territory should be self-sufficient as far as possible, so Murphy is recruiting people these two days to start making paper according to the way of the world''s indigenous people. If he could, he would like to learn from the elves how to make good white paper.


    ………………


    -----------------------------


    For Murphy, the university is definitely not just a literary place.


    Murphy wants to build it into a unique collection of science, military, technology and so on!


    In addition to imparting knowledge to citizens, he also gathered craftsmen from all walks of life to integrate their knowledge and lay a solid foundation for the future research and development of the territory.


    Why did it develop slowly in ancient times?


    One of the most important reasons is that they are conservative and lack knowledge.


    In this context, countless human resources are used to repeatedly study the same thing, and the civilization level of the whole world is progressing slowly.


    Athens is a highly centralized city.


    As the only Lord, ruler, dictator of this city!


    Murphy can use his personal prestige to collect all kinds of knowledge, and then lay the foundation for research progress. At this time, the advantages of small territory are reflected. At Murphy''s command, almost all the craftsmen and scholars in the territory were gathered.


    After half a month of deliberation.


    Murphy finally decided to divide the university into three parts.


    The first is basic education, which is useful in two aspects. One is to teach adult citizens some basic knowledge and teach them simple reading and writing, that is, to reach the level of barely literacy. The second is enlightenment education, in which minors can enter to learn knowledge and lay a foundation for their future growth.


    On the part of basic education, Murphy intends to exempt tuition fees and implement a four-year compulsory education system.


    That is, from the age of 10 to the age of 14, minor citizens can go to the university to learn basic knowledge, learn how to read and write, and so on. Of course, the course can not be as tedious as later generations. In addition to learning knowledge, these underage children also need to receive physical exercise and train combat skills.


    The city of Athens admits to be a citizen at the age of 16.


    That is to say, after four years of schooling, it is still two years before becoming a citizen of Athens.


    In the past two years, these preparatory citizens will develop on their own and choose the way to go in the future according to their own talents. But from now on, it takes money to learn new knowledge. If you are a talented person, you will receive special attention from the territory! Four years of physical training has been able to ensure that these preparatory citizens will be able to take up arms and become soldiers when they need them in the future.


    ………………


    Murphy didn''t plan to make it to heaven.


    He just plans to select and train a group of elites from the citizens, and then reach the level of being able to write and read as a whole.


    ………………


    The second focus is on technology.


    It mainly focuses on practical technology, such as mathematics, chemistry (the origin of alchemy), astronomy, architecture, sculpture and so on. The purpose of this discipline is to improve productivity and to cultivate talents from all walks of life.


    Because the living environment is very bad.


    Murphy does not intend to impart all the knowledge of literature, such as poetry, drama and so on.


    There is no need for these things to exist in the dangerous world!


    They should not appear, at least until the territory is truly secure.


    However, in terms of temperament, Murphy arranged for people to study it.


    Passionate music can give soldiers courage! Cheerful music can make people forget their troubles. It''s the only entertainment Murphy keeps.


    The last point.


    That''s the military side. That is to say, it is a place where middle and low rank officers and generals are trained.


    Generals are the pillars of territory development. They need to know not only how to fight, but also how to manage a territory and deal with many affairs. Murphy''s current focus is on these generals. Even if they can''t be trained into versatile talents, they should at least have their expertise in a certain aspect. A qualified general should at least make achievements in a certain field!


    All this is just a rudiment.


    A foundation to ensure the inheritance and development of knowledge.


    Murphy''s idea is to cultivate a group of elites, and then let them help themselves manage the territory and grow.


    ………………


    -----------------------------


    It starts after winter wheat is planted in October.


    Murphy carried out drastic reforms in the city of Athens. In addition to the problems of universities, one of the most important aspects of these reforms is the division of occupations, that is, to separate the army from the civilian population.


    His plan was to divide the professional army after the further development of the territory, like the Roman military reform.


    In other words, Murphy has to use money to raise a group of real fighters dedicated to fighting!


    Like Spartan soldiers, they will not engage in labor, but will receive long-term military training and move towards the direction of professional soldiers.


    At present, the recruitment system in Athens is to select qualified soldiers from adult citizens. After a period of military training, he was put into combat. In the non war period, the soldiers still have to go back to work. This kind of system can also work on the citizens, because the citizens of Athens are relatively rich, and have received physical and martial arts training since childhood. But if we expand the scope, we will bring out a group of soldiers and cannon fodder.


    The reason why the city of Athens was able to train its troops at such a high speed.


    A large part of the reason is that soldiers are selected from the civil class. They have received physical training since childhood and learned combat skills under the influence of their parents. That is to say, the adult civil class can basically serve as half a soldier.


    There are only two changes in the current reform.


    The first is to divide a group of more elite and Spartan professional soldiers.


    Second, all citizens must receive military training for up to a month in their spare time.


    In a world where the living environment is not optimistic.


    Everything is to meet the war and service!


    ………………


    At the end of October.


    The weather began to cool down gradually, the climate became cold, and the signs of winter were very obvious.


    This winter is basically no problem for the city of Athens.


    There is enough food in the territory to support a year and a half, and on the winter clothing, because of the contribution of the jackals.


    At present, most of the citizens and even some of the hard-working poor in the territory have a jackal fur coat.


    On this point.


    We should thank the jackals.


    Because of their existence, the residents of the territory no longer have to worry about winter clothes.


    October 23.


    First Frost.


    The traces of winter are very obvious. The residents of Athens have filled in a layer of clothing for themselves, but the progress of territory construction is still like fire!


    The moat is coming to an end, and the transformation of wood wall for arson by some means is also gradually completed.


    The main method of wood wall transformation is to mix with soil and so on, so that the ordinary fire attack is ineffective on them.


    On this day.


    Murphy put on a fur coat. According to the old custom, he got up early and went to the port to inspect.


    But today.


    But it''s a little unusual.


    Because near the port, soldiers on patrol found the body.


    The bodies of Athenian citizens
