Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Half of the volunteers in the Dionysian Football Finals come from the students in the advanced class of Turui School and the Dionysian Academy.This is also what Davers meant. He hopes that these young talents of the Kingdom who have not yet reached the age of 18 and have not been granted public office will be able to study and exercise some ability to deal with actual affairs, which will be more conducive to their future development.

The young man in front of him came from Dionysian Academy. He whispered a few words to the slave behind him. The slave immediately turned and ran into the city gate. Then the young man said to Galni: "You from Abenerum It must be very exhausting to come to Turi in the mountains and over the mountains. It should have given you a good night’s rest in the town, but the day after the celebration began, you need more time to prepare for the game, so we better now I hurried to the camp—"

"Why do you say so much nonsense! We are not tired at all, let's go quickly!" one of the Samonais shouted.

"Tatoni!" Gurney turned back and glared his hand. Although he saw that the young man was not very young, from the temperament he displayed and the four powerful slaves that followed him, it was absolutely A veteran of the Kingdom of Dionysia or a child of a minister, he does not want to offend people for no reason.

The young man did not think of the pestle, but realized that he had been standing in front of the city gate, delaying the time of the pedestrians behind, and busy taking the Samone to the Yamaguchi town.

The topography of the town is like a trumpet, with steep mountains on both sides, extending eastwards, and a low, flat, lowland in the middle. It continues to expand eastward, with a boulevard winding forward, and sides filled with various This kind of shops and stalls are crowded so that pedestrians have nowhere to go, and behind them are houses with scales built on the mountain...

The merchants’ various screams are like the cicadas screaming on the summer trees, pouring into the ears endlessly, which makes people feel upset, and some hawkers directly stop the pedestrians, peddling goods to them or inviting them to store, Samona After rudely refusing a few people, no one harassed these stout, vicious-looking pedestrians.

After walking forward for a while, the terrain was much wider and the surroundings were less crowded.

At this moment, the young man said: "Guardian Galney, it's such a hot day, you have walked so far, you are thirsty, drink slurries first, and then continue to hurry."

In the direction of his finger, Gellney saw a stall selling water on the road ahead, and the slave who had left before stood beckoning.

To tell the young man, Gellni consciously licked his dry lips, but he hesitated a little, because he knew that the price of water and drinks here should be expensive, he was reluctant, thinking: it might as well wait to come to Delos By the river, go to drink river water.

The young man seemed to see his mind and said aloud: "The money to buy water has already been paid. You can only dump it if you don't drink it."

As soon as the words fell, the other Samonaites could not bear it anymore, and they swarmed up one by one, pouring them into their mouths and pouring them into their mouths. The cool and sweet honey syrup not only quenched thirst, but also relieved the abdomen The hunger of the Samonaite drank a can, and it felt unpleasant, and picked up another can.

"This... this is really costing you a lot..." The self-proclaimed guilty Galney is also a little embarrassed at the moment.

"You can accept the invitation, climb the mountain and wade to Turui, so hard work is just to participate in our Dionysian celebration, as the host, we should of course take care of your distinguished guests, this little What is the cost!" The youth thought that this was justified, and the tone of the speech was not like a person who was underage.

With a move in Guerny's heart, he put down the jug and asked, "What's your name? How can I know that I'm Guerney? I don't remember I said my name."

The youth said unhurriedly: "My name is Crotox. The official who sent me to greet me explained in detail that the team of the Samonais was led by Gellney, and I know that Samonais Only aristocrats wear white robes, and you are the only one wearing white robes, so..."

"You know a lot about our Samone!" Guerny looked at him in surprise.

"This is what my father told me." The young man said modestly: "My father said that the Samonais are brave warriors and deserve our respect from the Dionysians!"

Brave warrior?!If Galni didn't look at the youth's sincerity and sincerity, he would think that the other party was ridiculing himself: Was the Samone brave?If they are brave, how can they kill each other because of fear overnight?That huge army had no chance of confronting the Dionysians, and it was defeated!In the end, he became a captive. In order to gain a foothold in Abenerum and regain his father's position as leader, he had to rely on the power of the old enemy Dionysians!...

Guerny suddenly felt the honey syrup in his mouth tasteless. He spit the water on the ground and shouted: "We should go now!" Then he strode forward.

The other Samones quickly drank the water, stroking the swollen belly, one after the other, behind Garni.

After passing a mountain beam, we exited the Yamaguchi town.

At this moment, I heard someone shouting next to him: "Leader Guerny! Lord Guerni!"

The former Potentian Ginat yelled and rushed to the side of Guerney.

The Samone not only gave way to him, but also helped his herdsmen drive away cattle and sheep.

"Ginate, you don't live in the town?" Galney asked casually.

"If I had stayed, where would so many cattle and sheep live?! I had to hurry up and rush to the livestock market in Turui. If I could save money, I would save money, so I sold these cattle and sheep!" .

"You are a Potentia, why not sell these cattle and sheep to Poseidonia or Enona, and have to run such a long way to Turui?" someone asked.

Ginette looked around and saw a strange young man, asking in doubt: "Are you?"

"Krotox, Turri City Hall sent me to meet the leader of the Garni," the youth replied.

After hearing this, Ginat did not dare to underestimate the childish youth, saying: "The cities of Poseidonia and Enona are not big, they are close to us, cattle and sheep are sold there, the price is too cheap , And not necessarily sold, because there are not enough people to buy it. Last year I heard that Turri came to Turri in September every year because of the Hades celebration and rugby game. There are so many people, so all the food in the market is sold at high prices. It is said that one sheep can sell more than 30 drachmas, so I decided to try this year..."

"There are more than two hundred miles from Potentia to Turi, and most of them are mountain roads, and there are many beasts. It is difficult for people to walk, not to mention cattle and sheep. Are you not afraid of any accidents?" The youth was curious. Asked.

"Isn't it, alas..." When Ginat heard this, as if meeting a confidant, he immediately poured out the water: "I brought 120 sheep and 15 cows when I set off. Only 108 sheep were left here, 12 The cows, the others were either scattered in the middle, were taken away by the wolf, or they broke their legs, fell ill and fell ill, and finally had to kill them..."

Jinat pointed to the fresh cattle and sheepskins carried by some herdsmen, and showed painful colors: "I only hope that this time I will go to the market of Turui to sell these remaining cattle and sheep for a good price, otherwise my and my The people are too bad! Hey..."

The young man listened attentively, a slave whispered something in his ear, his handsome face showed some sympathy: "You are right, now the price of a sheep in the Turiri market More than 30 drachmas are indeed sold, and a cow even reaches 80 drachmas. But other businessmen have the same idea as you, and often come to Turiri, port market and city market at this time. The shops and storefronts simply cannot accommodate so many businessmen, and there have been many disturbances in previous years, so this year the Turiri City Hall issued a new regulation. During the celebrations, only merchants with Kingdom citizenship are allowed to enter the two markets. According to this regulation, Your cattle and sheep cannot enter the port and the city at all."

Upon hearing it, Ginette couldn’t believe his ears and argued aloud: "We Potentias are also part of the Kingdom of Dionysia, and we Potentias are also Dionysians! We deserve it too The Kingdom’s preferential treatment is right!"

The youth shook his head: "Potentia is just the free city of the kingdom. You manage your own city. You don’t have to pay your taxes to the senate. You don’t have to perform military service. The laws of the kingdom can’t control you. You don’t have to bear it. Of course, the kingdom's obligations to citizens are not granted the rights that Dionyan citizens should enjoy, such as sharing land and rewarding military merit. Of course, it also includes some benefits for citizens like this kingdom..."

The young people talked eloquently, and Garni was surprised to see that this somewhat naive young man at the moment showed a trace of majesty that ordinary teenagers do not have.

Ginat didn't notice this, he was dumbfounded after listening to the young man, and said arrogantly: "Since we are not allowed to sell in the market, we will sell it outside! Turi is so big, there must be us selling cattle. Sheep's place!"

After hearing this, the youth reminded him seriously: "In addition to those two markets, Turui did set up several temporary markets at this time, all around the camps and arenas of several teams, But it is also mainly to give priority to the Dionysian traders, and the sale of livestock is not allowed outside the livestock market, mainly because it pollutes the surrounding environment and the noise is too loud. Once discovered by the inspection team, it may be subject to heavy penalties. , Your cattle and sheep may be detained!"
