Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Speaking of this, Solikos increased the volume: "As it is now, with the governor Davis as the main, and other elders to assist in the work, the alliance's work efficiency is much higher, and all citizens have land, I don’t have to worry about life, let alone enemies’ encroachment, and I’m free to take public office and get paid. Isn’t it better than before? So even if the Tua Alliance really changes to the Wangzheng system, it’s not bad, as long as the The king can be like Lord Davis, and I think the Union people will support them too!"

After listening to his words, Tios fell into contemplation: The Greeks were born with a passion for politics. From ancient times to the present, citizens of every city-state are seeking a perfect system to make city-states more prosperous and citizens more free.A few decades ago, Athens became a role model for the city-states to follow, but the failure of the Peloponnesian War made many people of insight see the shortcomings of the democratic system of Athens, and some nobles including philosophers began to respect Sri Lanka. Bada still follows the half-kingdom and half-democratic system of ancient Greece, but the overbearing Spartans especially disgusted the neighbors of the Peloponnese.The Tua Union system also seems to have some meaning... Tios thought in his heart.

The carriage continued to gallop, and when he ran across the wooden bridge, he was asked to look back for a while.

There are many pedestrian vehicles on the avenue, but they are very orderly and do not interfere with each other.

Tios looked at it and found some clues: "On this road, you all seem to be walking to the right?!" he said loudly, uncertainly.

"Yes, you are watching carefully!" Sorikos exclaimed happily: "That was after the avenue was built. Lord Davis erected at the ferry of Amendolara, Turiri, and Heraclea. A road monument recommends pedestrians to walk to the right. In the first few days, many people do not listen and often cross the road. Because this road is good, the speed of carriages and carriages is relatively fast, so several incidents have occurred Injuries and accidents lead to road jams. Everyone realizes that Master Davis’s suggestion is right! You see, our ruler is like this. Although he has a lot of power, he does not usually use forced means to let The people obey but try to persuade each other as much as possible, which is one of the reasons why he is the only lifelong governor and we are not worried!"

"The Tua Alliance does have a good consul!" Tios said exclaimed: "And I noticed that every other distance, there was a stone monument on the side of the road, engraved with distances from Amendolara and Herakli As far as Asia is concerned, managing a road will be so careful. If you want to govern the city-state, you will even consider the feelings of the people."

"Yes! Yes!" Solicos raised his whip and straightened his chest proudly.

"How much can you earn every day by driving in a carriage?" Tios asked.

The happy Sorikstein said frankly: "At the beginning of the day, there were only ten Opols, most of them were given by the fresh Tua Union people. Now the day is busy from morning to night, and there is almost no rest. , I can earn up to 46 Opols. Going out like this, and deducting the cost of horse fodder and care, I can earn about 600 Opols in January, and nearly one hundred drachmas. In four months, I will be able to pay off the loan and interest!"

The two talked happily. Since there were not many cars on the avenue, the road was very clear, and they reached the warehouse hotel area under the city of Amendola in less than two hours.In fact, it's not as quiet as the market manager said, the same people come and go, just not so noisy.

Zorikos waited for Tios to get off the bus and said to him: "I suggest you go to the restaurant opened by Cristoa for dinner. The lamb soup and tripe in her shop are very delicious and the price is not expensive. I eat it every few days. I didn’t expect people’s giblets that they usually don’t want, and they will make it so delicious. I spend half of the money I make on it.”

"It's so delicious?" Tios doubted.

"You will know if you try it." Solix said, and another customer got in the car, and he waved goodbye.

"May Hermes bless you to realize your wish as soon as possible!" Tios also sent a blessing.

Watching Zorikos drive away, Tios was said by him just now, and his hungry stomach started to growl. He decided to go to the restaurant recommended by Zorikos first.

……………………

Compared with Amendolara, Turiri far exceeds the land, population, affairs, etc., so the office of the Senate will be relocated to Turiri, although the parliament hall has not yet been repaired.In view of the fact that most of the elders’ homes are in Amendolara, in order to facilitate and expedite the proceedings in the future, the Turriy Reconstruction Committee has also assigned the elders a residence in Turriy, and because of Davis’s busy affairs, he is often at home and constantly The visiting veteran and public officials discussed political affairs, so he was assigned a new house with twice the area of ​​Amendolara’s house.Daveus wanted to refuse, but Kristia liked the house so much that he had to accept it.

This house is located on a hillside above the riverside in the city of Turij. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can have a panoramic view of the Krati River and the Koseni River. The other hillside not far north is the original Apo The location of the Temple of Luo (now the Temple of Hades is being built on the old site) and the Acropolis is very advantageous.

It was already late September and it was early autumn, but the climate in the southern Apennine Peninsula was still hot. Fortunately, the river wind blowing from time to time made Kristoa, who was giving birth at home, feel a little cool.

The atrium of the new house is large and rectangular.Some time ago, Christoia invited the masons to build a wall in the middle, leaving a door, so that the atrium was divided into front and back yards: the front yard had a slave house and a parlor, and the back yard was Dave The couple's bedroom, the room for adopting daughters and children, and the place where close-fitting servants live.

Christoia has been staying in the backyard all this time, with a quiet environment and privacy.At this time, she was wearing a light linen dress, and took the slave girl Asuna to plant her favorite flowers and plants in the backyard atrium. After a quiet movement, the clothes were fluttering, and the white chest was looming, making people think.

Andrea got permission from the servant girl and entered the backyard, where she saw Christya put down her pickaxe and took the sweat towel from Azuna to wipe the sweat.

Andrea hurriedly walked over and reminded: "Ma'am, didn't the doctor say that, you should rest quietly during the period of your first pregnancy to ensure the smooth growth of the fetus, and should not exercise vigorously!"

"I don't vomit anymore now. Daves said,'Appropriate exercise will help me and my children's health.'" Christosia said, stroking her abdomen without touching her face. It is filled with tenderness.

"Sir Davies is so busy and still cares about you and your children so much! Ma'am, Hera has given you a good husband!" Andrea came to compliment in a timely manner, making Christo even more concerned. 'S happy smile: "Andrea, don't envy me, you can be with Bakul in another year! I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

"This is all the help of the ruling lord, and Bagul and his people are very grateful to the lord!" Andrea said heartily.

"Will they be able to stay and become citizens of the Tua Alliance when they have finished their labor service?" Kristoa handed the sweat towel to Asuna and asked, seemingly unintentionally.

"Bagule said to me,'Most of his young people are willing to stay, because although he is tired here, he is very happy and safe. He does not want to go back to the mountains and live a life of fear. Only a few elderly people Hesitation, including his father..." Speaking of this, Andrea was a little worried, of course she would like Lucanians to stay, so that her marriage will be much smoother.

"Relax, Davis will find a way to let them all stay!" Christosia comforted her, picked up a pottery jar from the table next to her, poured a glass of water, and handed Andrea: "You came from the market, you are thirsty, drink this."

Andrea passed the glass and hurriedly glanced at it. I saw a golden liquid in the glass, with some debris floating. After a little sloshing, white foam appeared.She didn't dare to ask immediately, she took a sip first, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, and some coldness.

She couldn't help but take another big sip, a lot of foam wrapped in liquid, which flowed into the stomach very lubricatingly, forcing her to burp a few times, and suddenly feel the hot body refreshed a lot at once.

"What kind of slurry is this?" she asked in surprise.

"It tastes good. I put it in the well water for a long time before." Cristoa said with a complacent smile. "As for what it is, let Azuna tell you."

The dark-skinned and pretty-looking Azuna hurriedly said, "It's called beer. It's a kind of slurry that we Egyptians like to drink. A few months ago, Lord Davers said to his wife when he said,'He is considering Rugby games, as a formal competitive game, will be very popular for the public to watch. But there is still a lack of delicious pulp for people to sit in the arena and watch the game in the hot sun, which can both quench their thirst and help ...'. I heard it aside and couldn't help saying,'The Egyptians can try the beer.'"

Hearing this, Kristoa smiled "giggling" and took the words: "You didn't see Davis' expression at the time. He looked at Asuna very surprised and repeatedly asked her several times," she said What is the name of the pulp water?', and then I asked the color, taste and production process of this pulp water, and later cursed something like'I was deceived by the Germans...Germans, the original beer was invented by the Egyptians', Then I urged me to find someone to make beer. I had to send people to the slave market in Tarantum, and I bought Egyptian slaves who could make beer at a high price and came back and tried to make them."

Note: Each civilization has left its own unique mark on the world. The Egyptian civilization also has many interesting inventions. Here I will just mention the ones that are of interest to women: eye shadows, wigs, dyed nails, various accessories, rose baths , Milk baths, hair care, essential oils... and perfumes were not invented by the French. Before 3,000 AD, Egypt had a rule: not to apply perfumes in public is illegal.The interesting life of the Egyptians will be described in detail in the second half of this novel, here is a small introduction!
