Chapter 433 Alliance Secrets, Books and Documents (Part 2)

The sun slanted slightly to the west and fell into the priest's hall. The spices in the censer had 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 soothing, inhaling too much is not a good thing.

"Counting the time, the arrests in Tlacopan City have already begun."

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

Xiulote sat cross-legged in the main hall, carefully checking the alliance's household registration and farmland figures.

These figures were carefully collected by village priests in various places, coupled with the estimation of tribute tributes in various places, and calculated layer by layer. Obviously, these numbers are not going to be very accurate. But in this era, they are important and rare secrets. They are the basis for ruling the country and reflect the degree of control the central power has over local areas. Apart from the centralized alliances and kingdoms, the remaining ministries in the world probably don't even have such rough figures.

"God bless the Mexica Alliance and rule the world. The great temple is in the world, and the surrounding one or two hundred miles is the capital. It is directly under the alliance. It is a fertile valley given to the alliance by the Lord God! The population of the capital is more than 1.5 million, Ding The population is about 500,000, the Lake District Milpa has 8-10 million acres, and the Lake District Chinampa has a total of 15,000 hectares."

Seeing this, Shulot was slightly startled. The radius of one or two hundred miles around the great temple is directly under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi? In this way, not only the holy city within a hundred miles northeast of the Texcoco Lake District, Teotihuacan, his hometown of birth, but also the feudal city-states further north were all included under the direct control of the alliance! He raised his head and wanted to ask his grandfather, but found that at some point, his grandfather had disappeared.

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

Shulot praised in his heart. Then he silently estimated.

The alliance has a small-acre system, with one square kilometer being 2,500 small-acres. Chinampa, a floating field on the lake, can support 20 people per hectare, and 15,000 hectares can support 300,000 people. If the remaining 1.2 million people are allowed to cultivate 10 million acres of milpa, each person will only be granted 7-8 small acres on average. During Milpa farming, at least half of the fields must be left fallow, so the actual farming area per person is only 3-4 acres. In a kingdom with a vast territory and a sparse population, 20 acres of land were granted to each man, and 8 acres were actually cultivated.

"Based on this, the Valley of Mexico is indeed densely populated, and the population in the Gyeonggi area is extremely prosperous! Around Lake Texcoco, almost all the fields that can be cultivated have been cultivated, and even sweet potatoes are planted on the hills to support the population. Amazing civilians. River mud and manure are applied to Chinampa to maintain astonishingly high yields. There is a huge urban population in the lake capital, and the crops in the Americas are already high enough without fertilizers. With large livestock, this should be the limit of support in the Valley of Mexico!”

Shulot mused secretly, thinking about the current situation of the Alliance's capital 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 peak. When the Spanish colonists arrived here, everyone was shocked by the astonishing wealth and prosperity of the Texcoco Lake area. They had never seen such a densely populated, fertile land filled with gold and silver.

After the sparsely populated colonists captured the capital city in the lake, out of fear of a large number of Mexicans gathering, in order to stabilize the early colonial rule, they frantically destroyed the dam on Lake Texcoco, allowing the saltwater to pour in and then drain it. Lake Texcoco.

The floating fields in the lake were destroyed and the Milpa along the lake fell into desolation, permanently lowering the population limit of the valley. In the mid-16th century, a man-made famine spread along with European diseases. Within a few decades, the population of the Valley of Mexico plummeted by nearly 90%! The once prosperous Mexica civilization was completely destroyed by aliens, 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 returned to its pre-Columbian peak.

"Changing dynasties means destroying the country; leading beasts to eat people means destroying the world! When the Meng Yuan Dynasty went south, they raced horses to enclose land, converted farmland into pastures, and destroyed canals along rivers. This is the same thing!"

Thinking of this, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, but his expression became more determined. After going through so many trials, he now has confidence and a will as strong as iron.

"As long as I am here, I can completely change everything and rewrite the history of Mesoamerican civilization!"

After a while, Shulot calmed down his turbulent emotions and continued to look down.

"Outside of the capital, based on tribute calculations, the total population of the western city-states is more than 500,000, Tepanikapampang has about 220,000 people, and Tolocan state has about 300,000 people. Milpa should be between 3 million and 5 million acres, specifically. The number of acres is unknown.”

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

"Tolocan State actually has a population of 300,000! From this point of view, I am afraid that I have always underestimated the importance of the Trocan State Mountain Family."

"The alliance's secret guards are in Tolocan State and have been deployed for a long time."

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

"Izel from the Shanluan Family is related to the Alliance Secret Guard. This young man has great ambitions. As for the Chunyu Family who once contradicted you at the banquet, the high priest group has sent the temple guard to punish him."

"Chunyu Family, Shaopan Patriarch"

Shulot was stunned for a moment, and the memories from before came to his mind. he asked.

"How will the high priests punish you?"

"The entire clan of men will be exterminated. The servants and female relatives will all be exiled to the city of Xilotepec."

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

"By now, Chief Shaopan should have conferred the title. We should take this opportunity to completely take back the power of the priests of the Goddess of Spring and let the chief priest of Tolokan control the religious power of the city-state."

".Um."

Shulot lowered his eyes slightly and nodded. He thought to himself that his grandfather's actions were obviously a little anxious. Suppressing his doubts, Shulot opened the document again.

"The city-states in the south have a total population of 600,000-700,000. The population of Latchiko State in the southwest is 380,000, the state of Kuonawak in the south is 140,000, and the state of Vactepec in the southeast is 130,000. Milpa has about 400- 6 million acres, Chinampa has about a thousand hectares, the details are unknown.”

"Lachikobang is an important town in the southwest, with fertile land and a prosperous population. There are rivers and lakes scattered there, and there are also Chinampa Floating Fields. During the Western Expedition, much of the food for the Southern Route Army came from nearby Lachikobang. The southeastern Vactepec State borders the Tlaxcala people, the alliance's old enemy. It has rolling hills, dense fortresses, and strong folk customs. It is a border military city-state. In the past few years, the southeast of the alliance has suffered from Tlaxcala. Humans invaded and the population gradually declined.”

The high priest smiled slightly and spoke again.

"Xulot, my son. If you join the Southern Route Army, you will use the Vactepec State as a base to conquer the east! I will issue a decree and compile another book, and let the chief priest of Vactepec do his best. Support you!”

Hearing this, Xiuluo nodded and smiled. He looked at the next document.

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

The author is sorting out specific alliance data, and it will be a bit slow to review the previous population models. The first week of the first month is double monthly ticket time. Maomao really asks for your support!
