Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Giogris is a wealthy man (actually his wife) in Amendola, owns ten acres of mountain in Amendola, and grows olive trees over ten years old, and has his own oil mill to make olives. Oil, originally there was only a simple wagon in the house, mainly used to transport the finished olive oil to the port of Turiy. Since Dania and Giogris got married, considering that Giogris frequently travels between Turiy and Amen Dorala, conducting military training and handling some military affairs, in order to support her husband's facade, specially bought a passenger carriage for her husband to ride. In fact, Geogris mostly rides horses.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the avenue at this time, all the carriages departed in order.Amendolara-Turiyi Avenue has been built for nearly a year. The people are using it. For the sake of safety and convenience, some rules have been formed under the guidance of the alliance.

Now that the Alliance’s Road Bureau has been established, Heracled Jr. was successfully elected as the head of the department.According to the rumored news, he intends to proceed immediately with two things: One is to submit a “Donian Road Maintenance and Use Act” to the Senate, which is to prepare these private road rules to be universal for the Union Formal road laws to improve the efficiency of road use; the second is that he is ready to propose to the Architect Davers a new road design plan and a plan to renovate the old road.

The driver drove the two horses to run at a constant speed, and the wooden wheels tightly bound with iron skins were spinning fast on the flat road.

Georgris listened to his wife's chatter in the bumpy carriage while thinking about what he heard about the new road department.

"Tomorrow I am going to buy four more slaves." His wife's words caught his attention.

"Aren't the slaves in our family enough?" Geogris said suspiciously.

"You have been assigned to the three acres of land in Crimea. I haven't seen it yet. I heard that they are all good land. According to the regulations of the Union's Ministry of Agriculture, they can only be used to grow wheat. You are busy with the Union's Military affairs, how can there be free time to go to Crimea to work, and of course I have to buy more slaves to take care of the farmland for us there for many years." Dania explained.

"Only three acres of land, you don't need so many slaves. Just to support them, it will cost a lot of money." Geogris used to be poor, and still maintained the good habit of thrift and frugality.

"My dear, you don’t know that ordinary families in Dionysia now have at least two or three slaves. Everyone understands that only when the adult males in the family have time to conduct military training can they build merits and win honors in war. To win more land and discounts. The slave market that was built half a year ago at the port of Turiri has now expanded several times, and the price of ordinary slaves has increased from the initial 160 drachmas to two hundred drachs Ma, I don’t want to buy more now. When I want to buy it in the future, I’m afraid the price has already risen to 300.”

"Besides the extra slaves, just let them go to Crimea, speed up plowing our farmland, dig trenches, rush to plant wheat seedlings, and wait for the farming work over there to be completed, and you can divide a few people back to Amendolara’s Oil mill, help to transport clay pots, take care of our olive oil shop at the port... When the busiest autumn, more labor is needed to complete the harvesting of wheat, olive fruit, oil, flour, etc... Our slaves are enough, there is no need to hire labor temporarily, that is, wasting money, and the efficiency is not high..." Dania explained to Georgris in detail.

Geogris doesn't understand these well, but he trusts his wife's ability, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, just do what you say."

Dania snuggled happily in Geogris' arms.

The carriage stopped in front of the south gate of Turi. According to the regulations, the carriage cannot enter the city, so the Georgris couple can only get off and walk, and the slaves behind him follow his weapons and equipment.

Along the way, you can see that many citizens are accompanied by wives, and even the elderly and children are also present.

Ever since Daveus took the lead (he often brought Cristoa to appear in public) and the integration of a large number of Lucanias, the wife of the Greek city-state citizen has to stay at home, and the tradition of less head-to-toe appearance has been in Dionia. Very few people obeyed.

"Giogris! Giogris!"

Geogris heard someone calling him and looked back quickly, but it was Olivers.

He came with his Persian wife Mitra.

After the four greeted each other, Olivers said excitedly: "I heard that you are back in the First Army this time!"

"Because Captain Hilos served as the chief executive of Asprostum, I just came over to meet his shortcomings temporarily." Geogris still maintains the old habits when he was in Persia, called Captain Hilos.

"What a temporary! Davers will definitely keep you in the First Legion!" Oliver pouted and smiled mysteriously.

"Why?" Geogris asked doubtfully.

"Because serving as the captain of the First Legion, it is easier to serve as the captain of other legions." Olivers leaned in and whispered: "I heard that Daveus proposed a bill to the Senate yesterday and it was passed. Anyone who has served as the commander of the Legion for five years has outstanding performance, and can be elected as a member of the Senate after being elected by the elders!"

Geogris hadn't spoken yet, and Dania, who had her ears raised on the side, had said excitedly: "So my husband will become a veteran in the future!"

Oliver glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Yes, but after me. Becoming a veteran of the veteran's courtyard, it is not only a battle of war, but also an administrative ability. To be like me, not only to serve as Turri The patrol leader also invited a private teacher to teach me to read, count and speak. Next year I will also prepare to become a secondary agricultural officer and commercial officer..."

Dania looked at her silent husband and determined that she would urge him to study harder and engage in more local affairs in the future. Don’t always train recruits in the military department... and so on.

Oliver's eyes looked back again, and he found it very interesting: honestly, Geogris married a smart-looking wife.

He took a close look at Dania, and suddenly his face was different: "Are you pregnant?"

Dania struck her belly proudly: "Five months!"

"My wife is pregnant too!" Olivers announced equally proudly, Mitra lowered his head shyly.

"Our comrades in the small team, I am afraid that the captain Hilos and Matonis are not married now." Georgris said suddenly.

"Yeah, the news is so blocked! Kunogolata took a fancy to Silos, wanted him to be his own son-in-law, and wanted to make Daveus to be a matchmaker. Daveus had agreed, and Daveus came forward, Silos’s piece of wood still can’t agree! As for Matonis, did you find that we behaved a little strange when we left from Crimea?” Oliver smiled narrowly: “I let my men go to him quietly The brigade inquired that this big guy was hooked on a girl in Crimea... Hahaha!"

"Really?!" Geogris was surprised.

"Of course it is true! However, don't ask him, beware that he beats you up and still implicates me." Oliver reminded.

………………………

Dionysia sent troops in accordance with the covenant, not only wanted to defeat Lockley as quickly as possible, but also an opportunity to demonstrate the alliance's military power in the southern Italian city-state to improve his influence in this area, so Dionysia not only sent the most elite The first legion of the first legion, and all the companies in the first legion that are missing due to injuries can be recruited from other legions to add experienced soldiers, and even the personnel responsible for transporting the weight are more than 1,000 hired by Zantiparis The formation of soldiers not only guarantees the safety of the load, but also a powerful supplement to the combat forces. Of course, they also have selfishness in Daphes and Philius, hoping that these former comrades can make new contributions and become a reserve citizen of Dioria as soon as possible. .

The First Army of more than 7,000 people, the escort corps of 1,500 people, a total of nearly 9,000 troops, and the lorry of countless pack beasts. A large team passed the review of Davos and the Senate in Victory Square. Vastly southward.

………………………

Lockley first heard that the Dionysian Union (not called the name at the time) was in the first Crotone War, and Crotone’s army was turned down by a much smaller number of Amendolara troops. Defeated and captured.

The Rockleys were more excited than they were surprised. They were happy to see that there was an additional city-state in the north of Crotone that could cause trouble for Crotone. Based on the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend," Rockley Send a messenger to contact Amendolara, hoping to establish an alliance with them and deal with Crotone together.As a result, the Amendolara made no representation, but instead signed a truce with the Crotonenes, and returned a few kilograms of captured Rotoni soldiers to Crotone after six months.Moreover, during the negotiations, Lockley even became a bargaining chip for the Amendolara threatening Crotone and achieving the purpose of the armistice, so the Lockery began to have resentment against Amendolara.

Six months later, the second Crotone war broke out, and the Crotone army once again invaded the Dionysian alliance formed by the Amendolaras. Lockley made a bad breath and did not forget their enemy. It was Crotone, who quickly sent a messenger to prepare to join forces with Dionia again. Because of various factors, the messenger Meteorphoenix failed to get in touch with Daveus in time, but Crotone's army was just short. A few days later, it was defeated by the Trionto River, leaving only thousands of people to retreat Crimea to resist the counterattack Dionyan army.
