MTL - To Four Thousand Years Later-Chapter 29 i thought you were a tit

"My king, fortunately I did not disgrace my life."

After Floros returned, he bowed to Solomon to pay his respects. His old voice was calm and steady: "All those who should be killed have been killed."

As he spoke, he looked behind Solomon at Yastaru, who was giving him a massage, with some surprise in his eyes.

"How were the bodies disposed of?"

Solomon asked.

Floros replied calmly: "All of them were burned with my eyes. Together with the horses and carts, the wreckage rushed into the river of the small southern country."

"Well done, Floros."

Solomon nodded in satisfaction.

If the corpse is kept, it may become a hidden danger. They were wearing Israeli clothes, and they might be sent back...

The main reason why this matter was done by Floros instead of by Benaya or anyone else was that Solomon was not worried about their IQ...

Western civilizations are not yet enlightened. The Ionian philosophy that initially liberated the wisdom of the people has not even appeared, let alone the poetics and science that were born on the basis of the Ionian philosophy.

Ionian philosophy's suspicion and resistance to the inherent order will undoubtedly shake the status of the ruler. In turn, the status of God was further weakened from the "philosophy" acceptable to the general public, which led to the gradual incubation of the concept of science.

This change in the trend of thought is by no means a simple undertaking that can be achieved in one lifetime. The change of the trend of thought depends on the change of productivity and production method. This is something that needs several generations of adjustments and countless painful adjustments to be born.

It is impossible to do it overnight—rather than let the ancient Israelites be enlightened and go through the painful stages of self-doubt, doubt of others, rebellion against the old order and old knowledge, and the weakening of the rights of priests and rulers, it is better for Solomon to put this Let the knowledge they master be passed down first, and wait for future generations to pick it up by themselves.

Among them, there must be a period in the future when they will resist, belittle or even fear Solomon's teachings. But this kind of vision that transcends the times will surely exist for a long time, and will eventually be recognized by them.

But now they have not yet enlightened, and their intelligence level can be said to be quite low. The rebellious Absalom was able to intercept all the people who asked for judgment in front of David's house, kiss each of them like a brother, and repeatedly said to them, "The king will not help you, but I will" Such words win over people's hearts, and they are already regarded as famous wise men in this era.

However, Solomon has probably tested the demon gods such as Floros and Baimon, and their wisdom is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people in this era. That's why Solomon handed over such an important matter to Floros.

He believed that Floros would handle it—or rather, there was no man in Israel better suited to handling complex matters than Nathan. Even the priest Sadhu is the same.

The result certainly did not disappoint Solomon.

… Conversely, the so-called "great wisdom" of the Egyptian pharaohs was probably the foresight bestowed by the actual ruler behind them—the demon **** Amon.

Although Egypt seems to have only one demon **** at present, Egypt is a country that worships many gods, and not all of their gods have fallen, and priests still have supernatural powers.

Even if Solomon can use generational technology to bridge the gap between financial resources, manpower, and the horror of Egypt, but the gap between Egypt's polytheistic worship system centered on Amon and Godless Israel, Solomon still needs to find other alternatives. There is a way to make up for it...

"My king, are you... signing a contract with His Royal Highness Yastaru?"

Floros said happily: "That's great! Israel finally has a demon **** who is good at fighting!"

"…What?"

Solomon thought he had heard wrong, so he asked again.

"Your Excellency Yastaru is the **** of love and beauty...but she is in charge of Venus—and she is also the **** of war! She once crushed Mount Ebihe in a fit of anger..."

Floros kept talking.

But Yastaru just coughed lightly, and timidly interrupted in a soft voice: "Those are in the past, Floros."

When Floros heard the words, he shuddered and kept silent.

Solomon was not fooled by such a simple trick.

"...I thought you were just a healer, Yastaru."

He said quietly.

He asked, Baimon was the angel in charge of knowledge and art before, and Floros was the prophet god, with weaker fighting power and only eyeballs. And if you fall from a **** to a demon god, your power will be weakened by another level.

…Before, Baimon and Floros and the scene where he was three-on-one against the Baal **** and was almost killed by one, Solomon is still very impressed.

He originally thought that Israel would not have its first God of War until after he signed a contract with Baal. I didn't expect Yastaru to be a demon **** with fighting power...

It turns out that she is not a nanny, but a discipline rider who works as an amateur nurse...

Yastaru said obediently: "If you want to, my lord, you will."

"...In short, Israel depends on you for protection."

Solomon was silent for a while, then said in a natural tone.

"Yes, Your Highness Yastaru."

Floros painstakingly persuaded: "The Egyptians have the demon **** Ammon, the Moabites have the demon **** Chemosh, and the Ammonites also have the support of the demon **** Morags, the **** Molech who has just fallen. And they have other The gods protect us, but we in Israel now... have no gods."

Compared with Israel, which has poor numbers and equipment, the Egyptian Legion with the support of the priesthood is second in combat effectiveness. The strength of the priesthood alone is enough to damage the morale of the Israeli Legion.

In the war of this era, morale is even more important than the sum of numbers and equipment. If the Israeli priests could not suppress the Egyptian priests to perform divine magic, I am afraid that the Egyptians would send out only a thousand people to kill the terrified and immobile Israeli fools like harvesting wheat.

"...israel without a god?"

Yastaru was stunned for a moment: "What about Yawei?"

Baimeng on the side said clearly: "Solomon is Yahweh. Although he has not awakened for a long time...but I think it should be."

"In short, I will protect the adults."

Yastaru groaned and clenched his fists, and lightly tapped Solomon's shoulder: "If Baal, who hurt your lord, dares to come, I will kill her."

Although her voice was soft and soft, after learning of Yastaru's record, Solomon didn't think she was joking at all.

"No, no, no...you don't need to kill him. I think it should be fine if we have a good chat..."

Solomon quickly persuaded: "I still want to sign a contract with Baal..."

"no."

Baimon and Yastaru said in unison.

They paused, and Baimon explained in a cold voice: "Solomon, I and Yastaru are almost enough. I saw that your life span is sixty-two years, but you have two demon gods at the same time. According to the contract, you still have about sixteen years to live..."

"So, what will happen to me sixteen years from now?"

Solomon asked.

Baimon replied: "Just like David. Aging is the law of all things, and there is no power stronger than time... The most I can do is keep you from dying. If you sign a contract with Baal, your lifespan will be reduced to only Eight years."

"…Ok."

Solomon sighed and nodded tentatively.

Eight years... is indeed too short. Nothing can be done.

"Leave these things aside, Nathan the Prophet—I have something to ask you."

Solomon sighed, his face turning serious.

Hearing Solomon calling his name, Floros turned serious and replied in an old voice: "Please order, my king."

"You should have heard that I set up twelve provinces and eighty-four cities, and sent veterans from David's time there...but I don't trust them."

Solomon took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice: "I order you to form a picket team with nine trustworthy people, and spend one month at the end of each year to go to various cities in Israel to secretly inquire about the public opinion and the implementation of various policies. .”

"At the same time, you will first count the exact number of the people of Israel for me. And station troops in various places in Israel, the number of good stones to build houses and the number of cattle, sheep and horses... How long will it take to complete?"

"A month at most."

Nathan said confidently: "I don't need to go anywhere to see the living creatures in the whole land of Israel, but it takes some time for the number of stones... My king, you don't know, before King David detected the enemy's intelligence, it was also I did it for him."

This answer greatly exceeded Solomon's expectations—he originally thought it would take at least three or four months.

So that's what Nathan's real purpose is...but that's fine.

"Then after you count the population and livestock, report the data to me first. Don't worry about stone materials. I need enough data support to ensure that my policy will not cause major problems, Nathan."

Solomon said in a solemn voice: "Then I will go to make codes this month first, and make a general plan for trade. I am waiting for your data."

"Yes, my king."

Nathan nodded respectfully.

"Baimon." Solomon said again.

"exist."

Baimon responded immediately.

"In a while, you can help me write the basic textbooks...I say you write, and then you help me correct and delete things that they can't learn. Since young children are going to be sent to the homes of local governors to learn the common sense of literacy and numeracy, they must first It is enough to send the eldest daughters sent from various places to church."

Solomon said solemnly: "Education and human resources are the foundation of a country. The cultivation of teachers should not be neglected."

"yes."

Baimon nodded.
