-----------------------------------

The trouble caused by the heavy snow is far more than this.

Because on the third day, Murphy received bad news from the logging camp in the north.

It was around the afternoon of the day before yesterday. A group of loggers saw huge footprints in the nearby forest. According to their description, Murphy suspected that they were footprints left by ogres.

Because if he remembered correctly, a clan of ogres once migrated in the nearby mountains.

When I went to the elf ruins to look for ebony, I saw huge footprints in a canyon and a wolf man army that was eaten. At the time Murphy thought they had migrated to the other side. However, it seems that this ogre clan is still active near the territory. And because of the heavy snow that closed the mountains, they returned to activities near the city of Athens.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Murphy immediately canceled that piece of lumberyard.

The size of these ogres wandering in the Karazhan Mountains is also a problem, but now Murphy has no time to clean them up, so he can only let them entrenched there for the time being.

…………………

On the fifth day after the heavy snow fell, Murphy finally received some good news.

After making contact with the barbarians living in the northwest of the southern plains, the diplomat Tobaes managed to strike a trade relationship with them. And bought a batch of grain with funds slightly higher than the market price. This batch of grain is enough to support the harvest of winter wheat in the Athens territory until June next year.

This is undoubtedly good news!

In the letter, the diplomat Tobajes also said that Utors, the Psian mercenary leader saved by Murphy, was the heir of a barbarian tribe. Small busy.

This made Murphy couldn't help but think of the Psaiyan he had saved that time.

Compared with the aristocratic council, these low-status barbarian humans who were excluded from the outskirts of the human city-state made him feel a little more favorable.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about that battle in the canyon, the Psyyan leader Utors led a group of mercenaries to help him, which has proved that he is a very grateful person. This time he went to the barbarians to buy food, and he helped a lot. Murphy had to admit that these barbarians who had little culture and didn't even know a few words really valued friendship.

He thought now that he might try to ally himself with those barbarians if he could.

In comparison, they are much more reliable than those noble councils in human city-states.

Due to the relatively large quantity of grain, and the season has entered winter.

It is obviously impossible to ship it back now.

It is estimated that these grains will not be shipped back until the beginning of January next year when the snow melts and the roads are cleared. Now the food in the territory can last for a month or two, so Murphy is not too anxious for a while. But the diplomat Tobajes is probably going to stay there for the New Year. He will stay there until the spring of next year, and then return with the food. In these few days, Murphy will send an army to send the money to buy food, and escort the food all the way back.

What must be mentioned here is that a batch of corn shochu that has been researched by university scholars in the territory has already been produced.

The degree is slightly higher than that of the first batch, about forty-five degrees.

Because Murphy gave the slave trader Plife a taste, and said that such a degree was completely within the tolerance of the aborigines. And in the orc empire, there is also a similar spirit. However, their spirits are not made from corn, but from a special kind of fruit called flame fruit, which Murphy estimated should be a kind of fruit with inherently high alcohol content.

This kind of spirit brewed by orcs is called fire wine, because the fruit is produced in the northerly Winterspring Canyon area, so it is also called Winterspring fire wine.

It is an expensive spirit whose value is equal to its volume of gold!

Since ordinary humans can adapt to these 45-degree corn shochu, the barbarians living in the northwest don't have to worry.

Shochu is such a strong drink, it feels warm in the stomach like a fire after one sip.

Definitely a great thing to keep warm in the cold winter.

In such a primitive world of few enjoyments, spirits were undoubtedly one of the chief amusements of men.

Murphy's current plan is to take out a batch of people who send money to bring them over. The current decision is to take the slave trader Pulifei to go with him. He is very experienced in this area and can handle it.

As for the price, Murphy intends to set it a little higher.

Don't plan to sell too much at one time, and plan to take a look at the market's reaction before thinking about it.

The production of shochu is all in the inner city of Athens, and Murphy has implemented a comprehensive government as early as when he developed the distillation technology.

So he is not worried about the outflow of technology.

***************************************************** *************************************************

At the end of December, the breath of the New Year comes.

Murphy called the high priest over early this morning to discuss an important matter.

The two had been discussing from morning to noon before discussing the whole story clearly, and some details and possible impacts were also sorted out.

"You really decided to designate this day as the New Year and the birthday of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom?" The high priest's face seemed to be radiating brilliance, her eyes flickering tightly fixed on Murphy's face, and she asked.

"Yes." Murphy nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The people of Athens must have a **** festival."

"In addition to the Harvest Festival, we also need a festival to mark the coming of the new year! Although the aborigines of this world will celebrate the New Year on this day, no one has really designated this day as a major festival! "

The high priest couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face, and said seriously: "The goddess will definitely give you a gift!"

God's gift?

Murphy smiled faintly, but didn't really care.

In fact, as early as after the Harvest Festival, he was planning to include the New Year as one of the major festivals in the territory.

The second era of this world began when the ancient elves planted the second tree of life. Although this day is traditionally celebrated by many intelligent races, no one has made it an important festival in the true sense so far.

And what Murphy has to do is to formulate New Year's Day!

On earth, the New Year originated in ancient Egypt, about 50,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians discovered from long-term observation that the flooding time of the Nile River was regular, and they recorded this time on bamboo poles every time. From the above, it is known that the interval between the two flood times is about 365 days. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of "New Year's Day".

History moves forward.

In 46 BC, the ancient Roman emperor Julius Caesar designated this day as the beginning of the Western New Year, in order to bless the double-faced god "janus", the door god in Roman mythology.

Then came the rise of Christianity after the Milan Pardon.

After Christianity usurped the luck of the entire West and firmly held it in his hands, the Pope of Rome set the Western New Year as December 25th, which is also Christmas.

As a result, New Year's Day faded or even disappeared, and Christmas became the symbol of the Western New Year.

Later, in order to resist religious invasion, take care of people of other faiths, and downplay the religious atmosphere of Christianity, all countries changed the way of Christmas.

………………

The world needs a new year.

After the suspension of the Olympic Games, Athens also needs an important festival that represents the beginning of the new year.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Murphy decided to formulate all this by himself.

And give the authority over it to Athena, the goddess of wisdom!

January 1.

Great celebrations will be held throughout Athens to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, the hope of a good harvest next year, and a brighter future!

At the same time, the celebration will be dominated by the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

On this day, everyone will have a three-day holiday! (It will be seven days in the future.)

On this day, everyone should go to the temple to ask for the blessing of the goddess.

On this day, all citizens of Athens will participate in a grand ceremony to pray for a better next year.

On this day, even the most stingy slave owner should give his slaves a full meal and a few pieces of bread.

………………

Naturally, such an important festival cannot be perfected all at once.

All Murphy had to do was to establish such a system. What kind of direction will it develop in the future and how to gradually improve it will naturally be arranged by time and history.

A civilization, a nation, festivals and celebrations are definitely one of the iconic features.

Murphy must now lay the foundation for everything in the future!

And his name will be handed down along with the establishment of this festival.

………………

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is the current king of the gods in the Olympus pantheon. If this day is to be held as a festival, then she is the only one who can do it.

Because she holds the authority of the king of the gods!

Because she is the master of the Olympus pantheon!

Murphy's decision meant that he recognized the authority of Goddess Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and extended her a friendly olive branch.

Murphy thought about this decision for a long time before finally making a final decision.

Looking at the smiling high priest in front of him, an uncontrollable thought suddenly surged up in Murphy's heart, but he tried his best to suppress it.

Everything has just begun!

He buried the thought in his head for a long time, and then he came to the high priest and said slowly: "I need the goddess to perform a miracle on that day!"

miracle!

A miracle can set the foundation for all this!
