Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Pointing to the wine glass in Andrea’s hand, Christoya said, "Beer is made from barley. The drink you have made after many experiments has tasted very good. It is wine. There’s a lot of scum, but Daveus said, “It’s okay, these things are good for your health.” Now I drink a little every day, which quenches my thirst and is not as drunk as wine...”

"This beer has a special taste, but after drinking it, people still want to drink it! Please give me another drink!" Andrea said, handing the wooden cup to Azuna.

Azuna filled her again, she took another sip, and said, "Madam, I came here this time with good news to tell you that most of the money we loaned to citizens of Amendora in April Clear it!"

"So fast?!" Christoya was slightly surprised.

"This year's wheat harvest, it is said that there have been wars in Sicily and the Peloponnesian Peninsula, so prices have increased. Coupled with our restaurants actively acquiring cattle and sheep and even including their offal, they have not earned extra Less money," Andrea explained: "So they can repay the loan and interest, and some people also hope to continue to borrow more money, buy more cattle and sheep to meet the needs of our restaurants."

"Very good! They can make money, we can take back the loan, and we can make more money. Both parties have benefited. According to Daveus, this is called a "win-win". And, we can also borrow money To the citizens of the League of Turri who need more money!"

"Madam, we have received 400 drachmas for the loan interest this time, and the restaurant in Amendolara has only opened for more than a month, and has earned about 500 drachmas. So far we have nearly one Thousands of drachma gains!" Andrea said excitedly.

"Yeah, who would have thought that the people's offal would make such delicious internal organs, and it would be good for the body too! If Davos had put his mind on governing city-states, he would have become famous throughout Greece. Merchant!" Christoya said happily: "This time the advice he gave made me very optimistic about this beer, I am afraid it will become our new profit-making industry, now waiting for the arena to be built La!"

"Master Davers is a descendant of Pluto, what else will not be! Bagul has great respect for Master Davers!" Andrea praised her compliment, she remembered something, and said: "Madam In the past few days, there have been several reservations for citizens to come to the bank to ask, if they want to engage in maritime trade, can they get a loan?

"Maritime trade?" Christosia frowned, thinking a little. "The maritime trade is more risky. If you accidentally destroy the ship, we will not be able to recover the loan. Besides, they are still preparing citizens. When the foreign trade failed, they fled. Where do we go to find someone to repay the money?! However, Davers said that our bank’s biggest role is to support the business of the state and promote the prosperity of trade..." Christo Ya thought about it, forgot to hold a rose in her hand, and the spike on the stem of the flower punctured her finger.

Asuna and Andrea immediately yelled and came over to help her suck her fingers and wrap the wound with a thin cloth strip.

Cristoa doesn't think anything. She just continued the question just now: "For the preparation of a citizen's loan application, we have to be cautious. We must first investigate how their character is, whether they are upright and honest, and also depends on them. How about the nautical technology of the country, is there an equivalent collateral and a trustworthy guarantor... If the previous conditions are met, it is best to indicate in the agreement that they are prohibited from conducting long-distance maritime trade between the East and the Mediterranean at the beginning ..."

"Madam, I see." Andrea nodded.

………………………

While Cristoa and Andrea were talking in the backyard, Daves was receiving two guests in the living room of the front yard.

"Sironimus and Agassia, please sit down quickly! You two are here for the first time!" Daveus happily welcomed them into the living room, and immediately sent the slaves to bring figs Dry, dates, and wine to entertain them.

Hironimos was slightly restrained, and Agassia smiled: "Sir, we have something to get your permission!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Adult, when we were all in Persia, in order to return to Greece, our companions helped each other, killed the enemy together, and established a deep friendship and feelings. In Byzantium, I, Hironimos, and a few companions followed you Came to Great Greece. Most of the rest of the comrades chose to go home because of confusion and fatigue. I thought they had all returned to their hometowns and lived a peaceful life without war. Who knew some time ago, Epidene Some of the light infantry recruited from the Eastern Mediterranean said,'The mercenaries of the Persian expedition did not return home. They were forced by the Spartans and paid little salary to continue fighting the Persians in Asia Minor'.

When we heard this, we felt uncomfortable.We are enjoying a prosperous life here, but our former comrades are still suffering in the distance, and may be killed at any time because of a javelin, a sword, and a spear.Lord Archon, since we have so much remaining land, and so many enemies like Lucania and Crotone wait for us to defeat, why don't we invite them to come here?!They are not only experienced on the battlefield, but also from the Eastern Mediterranean like us. Everyone is in the same habit, and they are very familiar with each other, unlike the citizens here." Hurriedly shut up.

"What's wrong with the citizens here?" Daveus asked quietly.

Agathia hadn’t spoken yet, and Hilolims took the conversation: “Some Turiris said,'We are inferior people from Greece, we only know to kill, we don’t have much knowledge, we don’t manage city-states at all, only Will mess up Turri...'"

Daphes lowered his face and immediately comforted them: "That's just a few people, most Turui people are still very grateful to us! Besides, power is in our hands, let them talk about it, let out a bit of depression. Mood, can't hurt us. Are you right?!" Davers comforted.

"As for inviting Timmasong to come to the Tua Alliance, I haven't thought about it. But now they are Spartan mercenaries, and with our current strength they dare not anger the Spartans."

"Adult!" Agacia said earnestly: "You and I know that mercenaries are originally a free profession. If the conditions are not good. They can leave the employer at any time. Now it is only because of Timmasong that they left Spa. Daren, there is nowhere to go, so we have to stay there, and we can offer them a new option. As long as we send someone to Asia Minor to spread the news quietly, I believe they will know everything about us Way to get here!"

Agacia’s words made Davis impressed, knowing that he can achieve his current career mainly by victories in military affairs, and the basis for creating victory is these Greek expeditionary soldiers, and the future war will only be more and more. Big, he needs more excellent soldiers.He tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to give it a try: "Well, then send someone, and it's better not to contact them directly, just to spread the news. Who do you think you want to send?" "

When Hironimus and Agassia agreed with Daphes, they were both happy.

"Sir, Hironimus has to train soldiers, let me go," said Agacia.

"Yes, but pay attention to safety, go early and return early!" Davers nodded in agreement, and then said to Hironimos: "How have the citizens been training recently?"

"The training of recruits is very serious, especially the original Turui citizens, who have mastered various skills and lack real fighting." Hironimos replied.

"Soon, there will be a lot of new recruits joining the various teams, and our troops will be significantly expanded. I hope you strengthen your training and don’t let the combat effectiveness decline. Next year, they will have the opportunity to participate in real battles." Dave Sri Lanka asked.

Ghironimus's eyes lit up: Lucania?!

After Hironimus and Agassia walked happily, Davers’ expression became serious, and he called Yasistes: “Recently, some people in the city of Turui Dissatisfied, why do you check it out? Who are these people?"

"Yes!"

In October, during the leisure season, it should be the month for Greek city-states to convene civic conferences, elect generals, and consuls. However, the consuls in the Tua Union are the only ones for life and do not need to be elected. Special approval, either advance in accordance with qualifications, and there is nothing for citizens; all senior public officials hold office for two years in accordance with the newly passed laws, and are elected by the Senate, appointed by the consul, and have no citizens.

Fortunately, at this time, the citizens of the Tua Union-Amendoralans are busy with various businesses because of the growing popularity of the warehouse hotel area under the city, while the Tua Union citizens-the Turi people are devoting their energy to rebuilding their homes. on.Citizens are excited about the land they rented for the first time in their lives. They began to loosen the land, fertilize and water early. The job vacancies they vacated were flocked by more free people who were rushing into the news To fill, the port area is full of Gentiles with various accents. They act as sailors, porters, cleaners, and even do small businesses... They are actively doing registration with the household registration office while doing dirty and tiring work, and then Breaking your fingers and counting the days, I look forward to applying for a reserve citizen immediately after two years.
