Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daphes knew that: Ancient Greeks were not fools, they also knew how to protect the economy of their city-state.

"We, Amendolara, have nothing now, so don't worry about anything and lower our tariffs. If the surrounding city-states charge 2%, we will charge 1%; if they charge 20%, we will charge 100%. Tenth... As long as people are attracted, it will drive our trade development, and citizens will take the initiative to find opportunities to make money for their families." Davers, who is short of money, has decided to dig in.

"Sir Daffers, I'm waiting for your decision!" Mariji rejoiced, but he quickly reminded: "However, Heraclea and Metapontum have a very good relationship with us. The Alliance believes that they can negotiate well with them. However, Turri’s relationship with us is not good. Foreign merchants shipping goods from Turri to us for storage and then transporting them to Turri’s market for sale may be hindered. ."

This is indeed a problem!Davers rubbed his chin in embarrassment.

Originally, the Davies mercenaries had a good relationship with Turri, and they saved Turri's benefactor.However, after the mercenaries became citizens of Amendola, in view of the original hatred of the people of Amendola on Turri, Daphes was not good to take the initiative to contact the Turi Envoy, and the Turi Envoy visited many times. After being blocked, he was also angry: Amendolara was originally a "little brother" of Turri, but now it is inexplicably arrogant, which has dampened the self-esteem of Turi and the "deception" of Davies mercenaries. The views of the Liyi people) also make them angry.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties became rigid.Such a stalemate is not good for Amendola, and it is also bad for Davis.Because it affects not only the economic diplomacy of Amendolara, but also Davies’ strategic plan and the promise he made in the Senate.

In Davis' plan, Amendolara should take advantage of the weakening of the Lucaria's power, and should take advantage of the victory to pursue and invade the Lucania's land.But when he calmed down in the past few days, carefully studied the map, and personally surveyed the surrounding terrain, he found a big problem: there is Heraclea in the north of the city of Amendola, or an alliance, and there is Tarantum behind Support, can't move; there is Turri in the south. Although its power is now severely weakened, Davos cannot lead the army to attack, because Turri and Amendallara have no hatred and no complaints, and they were once an alliance. They were once the mercenaries they invited, and the unexplained reinstatement of the divisions will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction and vigilance in the great Greek city-state. The small size of Amendola is still unprovoked by anger; , Between Amendolara and Heraclea, along the Sini River, you can indeed reach the Lucania area, which is the road that Wesbah led the tribes.

To this end, Dafus also specially asked Bakul to inquire, only to know that the west of Amendola is a barren area with many mountains, rivers and lakes, full of dense forests, and snakes and insects. The Bakul tribe stayed there. After more than a year, there were less than 4,000 people left by more than 10,000 people.This is the reason why Weissba did not want to go back to Lucania after taking Amendolara.Downstream, it is slightly better to reach Amendolara; going upstream and wanting to reach Lucania, the downsizing caused by injuries on the road is probably an amazing number. Once the Lucanians are attracted Offense, the reinforcements behind it cannot be expected at all.

Therefore, the only way is to trek the rugged mountain road west through the Subari Plain to reach Laos. Although the road is long, at least non-combat downsizing will be much less.To pass the Subari Plain, the relationship with Turi must be well established.

Dave Smore held his chin.Originally he was planning to spend some more time, when the newly-formed family of Amendolara settled down, the hatred was gradually forgotten, and it would be better to negotiate again.But now it seems that whether it is to improve economic and trade, or to enhance military strength, diplomatic relations with Turui has become a bottleneck that needs to be resolved.Therefore, Davers made up his mind: "Mariji, you can rest assured! I will hold a meeting in the Senate House this afternoon to specifically discuss Turri’s issues and hope to improve diplomatic relations with Turri."

"Sir Davies, as long as you propose a motion, would they dare to disagree with you!" Mariji's words were not pleasing, that's the fact.However, Davers also has to consider the feelings of the elders like Cornelius.After all, this involves the issue of solidarity between old and new citizens of Amendolara.But now he didn't want to elaborate with Mariji, just smiled.After all, this Persian still needs a long time to adapt to the Greek political system.

Marigica spoke and looked away, and immediately stopped discussing this topic. Then she raised the volume and said, "Oh, Master Davis, I have another idea that I almost forgot to say. The medical level of our mercenary medical camp doctors is quite high. When we opened the clinic in the market in Tuliyi, many Tuliyi citizens and free citizens came to see the doctor. Later, more and more patients came here, and we waited for us to tear down the market. 1. When relocating to Amendolara, some patients begged us not to leave... Do you think we should open a big clinic in Amendolara?! Attract patients from neighboring countries to come to the clinic for treatment Accommodation and food in Amendola Lara, purchase goods, increase the income of our city-state."

Mariji's words really reminded Daveus.Recently he has been busy, and he has forgotten that Amendolara still has special products, that is-medical treatment!So, he said with a little excitement: "The clinic is too small. If you want to build a big hospital!"

"hospital?"

"Hospitals can not only consult patients for medical treatment, but also allow people who are seriously ill to live in the hospital, and continue to treat him while observing his condition, which is more conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. At the same time, medical research can also be carried out Medical lectures, training young doctors...I believe such a place will attract many patients to come for treatment!" Daveus explained to him in detail.

Mariji was a bit dazed, and although he didn’t understand something, he couldn’t help saying, “I’ve never heard of a clinic in Persia that can be made into a hospital like the one you said to adults, this is really ……This is great!"

"I said it was very good, but to get to the level I said, I have to take it one step at a time, so let's make preparations first. To be honest, I have already owed two medical lessons to Helps Let's talk!" Daveus reminded Marighi: The young people in front of him are the real leaders of the health care camp. Those doctors mentioned Daveus with all respect and respect.Isn't a young man who is well-versed in military, political, commercial and medical skills not a godsend!Mariji stepped out of the Davers House and thought more and more that he was right.

And Davers thought at the moment: Since Amendola is to be built into a medical center in Greece, can we also make Amendola into a large entertainment center?!

Thinking of this, he immediately walked towards the partial room.

In the partial house, Christoya is discussing with some freelancers who are accountants about bank lending.And next to her was her maid, Asuna (Asuna was an Egyptian slave girl, sent by Melses to the medical camp to help, and when Christoia managed the medical camp, she found that she was smart and capable. She was very agreeable, so she brought her from Melses) and was working with several male and female slaves that Christosia had just bought from Tarantum.

As soon as Davers entered the door, Azuna saw it, and she immediately bowed her hands and saluted: "Sir, you are back."

The free men also saluted quickly and respectfully, while the new slaves were ignorant and overwhelmed.

"Christoia, can I get the leatherworker I asked for?" Daveus asked.

"I bought it. But the money to buy a leather worker is enough for me to buy four or five ordinary slaves." Cristoa complained.

"Doing business in the long run, don't look at how much money the leather worker spends now, in the future this leather worker will earn more than the price of tens of thousands of slaves." Daveus teased half-seriously, when He didn't dare to make some intimate moves in front of everyone.

"Yes, big businessman!" Kristoa gave him a sneer and said, "Anytime we need a leather worker." Then, she pointed to one of the slaves: "That's what you want."

Daveus walked over, and the skinny old man saluted respectfully: "Master."

"Are you a Greek?!" Daveus was slightly surprised to see his appearance.

"Yes Master."

"From where? What's your name? Why did you become a slave?"

"My name is Torikas, I am from Ephesus, I can't afford the debt, I became a slave." The old man said quietly.

"As long as your craftsmanship is good, and within a few years, you will be able to save enough money, redeem yourself, and become a free man." Davers promised.

"My son died on the battlefield, and his wife died early, and I will live alone. If the master does not drive me away, I am willing to stay here until I go to meet the crossing river people..." The open look made Dafus stunned, and then nodded helplessly: "In this case, you can rest assured that you will spend your old years here." After that, he took Toricas to the courtyard atrium, planting flowers and grass with wooden sticks. There is a pattern on the dirt.

"Is this an olive?" Torricas looked at the rough patterns on the ground and said uncertainly.

"This is rugby made of cowhide!" Daveus' eyes were shining.

"Rugby?!" Torikas' eyes widened.
