Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In the evening, Christosia came to Davers' account and heard about the daytime. With her knowledge of Davers, she said, "Do you want to annex those mercenaries?"

"I really want to help them." Davers said seriously.

"Really?" Kristoa smiled and raised her head, her red lips glamorous.

"Really." Daveus lowered his head and suddenly kissed the soft, wet lips.

This kiss ignited the passion of both parties.Davers stretched out his hand and picked up Christoya...

At this time, the voice of Maltius came from outside the account: "The chiefs, Mercis and Marigi want to see you."

Daphes whispered in a low voice, and just wanted to say, "No!"

Christoya gave him a smile and thumped him, saying, "It's definitely important to let Mercis and Mariji, two people with some contradictions, come to see you together!"

Daphes knew she was right and put Christoia down helplessly and kissed her mouth reluctantly twice.

Kristoa pushed him away.

Mercis and Mariji entered the big account with their feet, and they saw Christoya in the account. They didn't care at all. The close relationship between Davis and Christoya was already an open secret in the whole army. , And then the two of them directly explained their intentions to Daveus.

It turned out that when the soldiers started to build the camp, they were not idle at Mercis. No, it should be said that the Turiris were not idle.Although Turri prohibited mercenaries from entering the city, the Greeks were a famous people who were good at doing business. When they heard that there were mercenaries, there were merchants and hawkers running to the old city of Subaris to see if there were any business opportunities. .In addition to the food provided by Turui, of course, mercenaries also need other daily necessities, so the two sides agree.

At the beginning of the trade, it was only one-way, the Turiris were the sellers, and the mercenaries were the buyers.But soon, Mercis discovered that these Turiri businessmen were interested in something in the camp.On the way back, mercenaries not only robbed women and slaves, they also robbed a large number of gold and silverware and some artworks, such as exotic spice wood carvings, elaborate gold idols, exotic ivory carvings, etc. Waiting for it, it was originally planned to be brought home in the future, that is, it can be used as a decoration, as a souvenir and boasting evidence. Although it was lost a lot because of the continuous fighting along the way, it still kept some.

For the Turiri businessmen who are thousands of miles away from Persia, these objects from the Persian hinterland and some unheard of races are very exotic, which makes them feel very novel.Immediately, they realized that these things were very valuable, and they all told Mercis to buy them.

Mercis is not a fool, of course, can not be sold cheaply, not to mention that some things do not belong to him, but the soldiers are deposited in the camp.He thought left and right, and decided to go to Mariji first, because for these things, only Mariji, who is also a Persian, could clearly explain their origins, as well as the cultural meaning and value they represent.

Mariji gave him a suggestion: why not make a bazaar, managed by mercenaries, and deal with the big Greeks, maybe you can still collect taxes.

Collect taxes on land in other countries?!Mercis thought this idea was too crazy, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money, and simply came to Davies with Mariji.

Build a market?Daphes thinks this idea is good, not only can meet the needs of mercenaries, but also a place to expand the influence of mercenaries, but also to understand the market situation in the Great Greece, to train mercenary business teams, but also to gather intelligence and search for talent ...Wait, from the point of view of the mercenary leader, thinking of Davos with its roots in greater Greece is naturally much more comprehensive and in-depth than Merciers.

The more he thought about it, the better his idea was, and he nodded and said, “It’s okay to build a market. I’ll let the soldiers build a market outside the camp on the east side between the coast and the coast. The construction of the market is under Marig But we don’t have much time, don’t build it too complicated, just use it. After it’s built, you will be responsible for its management and operation...” said Daveus, and he was excited.

Daveus reminded him: "My requirement is-the bazaar can be rudimentary, but it must be orderly, to ensure the fairness of the transaction, and it must be neat and expand the reputation of the bazaar as much as possible to attract more other city-states. Merchants come here to trade. As for collecting taxes, don’t think about it. I don’t want to cause the Turui people to be unhappy, but you can think of other ways, such as letting slaves help to transport the goods, providing cheap Slurry water... wait, even if the market is booming in the future, you can still charge shop fees."

Mariji nodded again and again and heartily praised: "Boss, I did not expect your wisdom in business to be amazing!"

Dave Si smiled slightly, these ideas have long been rotten in the industrial age.But since he gave Mariji a promise, this guy entered the state very quickly, really want to be a commercial officer?

Daveus turned to Melcis, who was a little depressed: "As for our dealings with the Big Greeks, you will be responsible for Mercis."

"Okay! Okay!" Mercis rejoiced again.

"Don’t disturb what the soldiers deposit in the camp, unless they are willing to sell it, you have to sign an agreement with them. In addition to a small fee for selling the money... Well, you have to negotiate with the owner, but It is better not to exceed one-fiftieth of the property sold, and the rest should be returned to the owner, not to conceal and embezzle! Marige, you are in charge of supervision!" Dave Sis seriously ordered Melses.

"Daveus, you are too eccentric! One fiftieth is too little, at least one twentieth! We are not so easy to sell things, standing in the sun for half a day, how much tongue... …" Mercis murmured wronged.

"One-twentieth is too much, at least no more than one-fifteenth, so that's it!" Daveus didn't bother to continue arguing with him: "Rather than earning soldiers' money, you might as well think of ways to increase Expand your financial resources with your trading projects!"

Hearing this, Mercis fell into thought, and soon a smile appeared on his fat face: "The camps of ** come from some races in Persia and Armenia, and many people also learned the massage skills of the medical camp. It is definitely a novel experience for men in Great Greece, and we can set a high price..." Mercis' exultant voice was interrupted by the coughing of Christoya.

Discussing the skin and meat business in front of a woman, this guy... Daveus said with a smile, "I can give you an idea. Our doctors in the medical camp have a high level of medical skills. And there are no major injuries in the military barracks. Illness, idleness and idleness, let them open a clinic in the built market, collect money to see a doctor, you can discuss with Kristoa about the details." There were eight doctors in the original medical camp when they left Byzantium Two left, and the six doctors headed by Helps were strongly attracted by the so-called mysterious medical knowledge from Hades enlightened by Daveus from time to time (actually the basic knowledge of modern medicine in the past). Stayed in the medical camp.

Hearing Christosia’s name, Mercis, who was also glowing in the eyes, was bitter.

Christosia didn’t embarrass Melses, this fat man looked bully, but Christosia understood his importance to Davis, so he seriously discussed with him how to open a clinic and collect the payment of consultation And other matters, but made a request: I hope that Mercis will not force women in the camp to be ******

Mercy shouted injustice and said: "Most of the women in the camp are robbed by soldiers along the way back to Greece, and a few are slaves in the camp. They need to take care of the pack animals and manage the items. There are only ten A few are real*** They are used to making money with this... this method."

"I'm afraid it's more than just these." Mariji interjected.

Note: In ancient Greek and Roman times, there was no percentage, but the business was developed at that time. Merchants and even ordinary citizens were very good at using fractions to complete contracts and transactions. However, for the convenience of reading, as far as possible in the next chapter, use percentages to express.
