Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Kingdom Hotel is a hotel built by the Kingdom of Dionysia. It is used to receive guests from the Kingdom, such as messengers or VIPs from other countries.

However, at this time, the Kingdom Hotel was mainly used to receive the town councillors and escort officials who came to participate in the Kingdom Assembly. This is a huge number. The building that was originally built cannot accommodate so many people, so earlier At that time, the elders also specifically advised in the announcement issued to the towns: If the people participating in the conference have relatives and friends in Turiyi City, try to live in their homes.

In recent years, the Ministry of Construction has successively built three or four similar buildings and several separate villas in the south adjacent to the Kingdom Hotel, which are collectively called Kingdom Hotel, which basically meets the needs.

As a matter of fact, it is almost time for the opening of the conference. The hotel should be overcrowded. Even if there are rooms left, the conditions will not be too good.However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a list of accommodations in advance based on the replies from the town halls of the towns and sent them to the head of the hotel.Of course, Publius and Tibulus have specially reserved rooms with very good accommodation, especially Publius, who is both a valuable veteran and a Roman who has just joined the kingdom, is allocated to him It is the best room in the whole hotel-single villa.

The villa has three floors, the first floor is mainly the living room and kitchen, and the second and third floors are bedrooms. The reason for the construction of these villas is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers to welcome some VIPs who come with their families to live longer.

The hotel attendant led Publius into the villa. After a brief understanding of the situation of the villa, Publius immediately invited Tiberus who was here to live with him.

Tibrus readily agreed and quickly returned the original house.

In January or winter, even though Turri is near the ocean, the weather is still relatively cold, but Puglius even bare feet, stepping on the smooth marble floor of the living room, a new look, because the floor turned out to be hot.

Tibrus did not immediately answer his question, but pointed to the door and said, "Adult, do you see the big house next to you that has been steaming? That's a bathroom."

"It's the place that you mentioned on the road that can make people take a shower." Puglius was a little curious.

Although Tibrus had not stayed in Kingdom Hotel before, he knew that there was a larger bath in the center of Kingdom Hotel, so he explained according to common sense: "The reason why this floor is hot is that they must have brought the heat from the bathroom to the Under the floor, the floor was heated."

"Did the heat beneath this?" Puglius stepped on the floor, even more surprised.

"This underground is not completely true. When building this house, the craftsmen created a lot of voids under the floor, which is conducive to the flow of hot air..." Today, the construction of bathrooms has become common sense in Turui , Tibrus spoke very fluently.

"After dinner, let's go to the bath!" After listening to Tiburus' introduction, Puglius said anxiously.

"Two adults, you don't need to go to the bath, there is a bathroom in this room." The waiter who had just delivered dinner heard them and immediately introduced them.

So, after eating dinner, the two entered the bathroom connected to the villa. Although this bathroom is not large, it has all the facilities that the general bath should have.In advance, the waiter has greeted the central bath, the hot water and hot air channels to this small bathroom have been opened, and when the two people take off their clothes in the dressing room and change the wooden slippers, the bathroom is ready appropriate.

The two walked through the dressing room and entered the first small room. The room was relatively cool. This is to let the people who bathe first relax and slowly transition to the bathing state.

But Publius was obviously anxious. Instead of staying here, he pushed open the wooden door and entered the next small room.

The temperature in this room was a little bit hot, and the temperature in the next room was a little warmer...Publius began to sweat all the time through three small rooms, one higher than the other.

Opening the next wooden door again, he saw a circular pool inside, stepped on the stone steps, walked to the side of the pool, and stretched his feet to try it out. It was warm water and immediately jumped in.

Pubulius invaded the whole person in the water, wrapped the warm water in the whole body, and expelled the cold attack suffered during the two days of trekking in the mountains.

After a while, he put his head out of the water. "Hah!" shouted, feeling full of energy.

Then he saw Tibulus soaking in the bath, leaning against the pool wall and holding the edge of the pool with his arms, a comfortable look.

Tybrus rubbed his hands while saying, "This bath is really good, but it's not too special, it's bigger than the bath tub at home."

Tibrus smiled and said, "Master Publius, you have only half the way to the bath, don't jump to conclusions."

"Is there anything behind?" Pueblius was surprised.

Tybrus didn't speak, and pointed his finger at a wooden door on the side.

Puglius got up and walked out of the bath. He opened the wooden door doubtfully, and immediately felt a heat wave coming. The room was covered with white mist, and it was indistinct.

Publius was also hesitant to go in. Tiburus took the lead and sat on the wooden bench in the house, and then said: "This room is called a fumigation room, it is the most important place in the whole bath, and it is also the distance to boil water. At the nearest place of the stove, they also sprinkled hot water to the ground, heated to become mist, making it the hottest room.

But according to Dr. Turiyi, moderately increasing the body's heat will exercise all the organs in our body, speed up the flow of blood, and remove waste from the body, which is very beneficial to protect our health.I heard that most of the elders like fumigation like this—"

Tiburus hadn't finished speaking yet, and Publius immediately came in and sat on the wooden bench.

He soon felt that the room was hot and humid, and it became a little difficult to breathe. After a while, he began to sweat a lot, mixed with water mist, and adhered to the skin tightly, making the body extra heavy.

Publius wanted to get up immediately and walked out of the room, but when he saw Tiburus sitting opposite, remembering what he said, "the longer it is, the better it will be for the body." So he endured and leaned back. Sitting on the back of the chair makes you more comfortable.

In such a quiet room, the surrounding mist is heavy, and even the face of Tybrus on the opposite side can't be seen. The heat is so stunned that it feels like drunk, making people want to talk. impulse.

"Turii is really a huge city, more prosperous than I thought! Much stronger than Rome!" Puglius said with a sigh: "According to the requirements of the Senate, I will move to this year In the city, but I think there are so many residents in the city of Turui, I am afraid it is not easy to own a house."

"It is indeed the case. The population of Turiyi has increased dramatically in recent years. I remember the whole city plus the entire Subari Plain last year, excluding several other towns in the Turiyi Region. The counted population is 49 About 2,000 households, 238,600 people, which does not include the free people, slaves and other floating populations...the population is so large, so the residential land is very tight, you also saw when we entered the city, the outer city is so big The result of the continuous expansion of the urban area over the years.

Many arable lands are now covered with houses, and the rents of the Turiyi people’s rented houses are several times higher than their income from farming. Our Ministry of Agriculture has reflected upwards on several occasions, but His Majesty said, “As long as the Kingdom’s strength grows, Powerful, the city of Turiyi will inevitably develop rapidly, so as to meet its status as the center of the kingdom. The people of Turiyi have paid a lot for the kingdom and can make money by renting houses. It is also a welfare that the kingdom gives back to them. As long as they pay taxes normally, there is no need to force them to stop.As for the food issue, there is an entire kingdom to feed Turi, and the people are not short of money, so we don’t have to worry that they won’t have bread...

Your Majesty is right!The Kingdom has a vast territory, including the Catania Plain, the Eufemia Plain, the Kapulia region, the Crotone region, and the newly acquired fertile land in the eastern plains of Campania and southern Sardinia ,and also--"

Tiburus paused for a moment: "The Latium Plain... In addition, we can also get a lot of low-cost food from the Confederate Egypt, and we really don't have to worry too much about food problems. The people of Turiyi have really paid a lot in each of these years. They are the main force of the battle, so the casualties are also the biggest. Just like the war is not over, the casualties of the civilian soldiers in the entire Turui region have exceeded 10,000...They really deserve more."

Tiburus spent many years in Turri’s Ministry of Agriculture and talked about the city’s land and housing issues, and he couldn’t stop talking: “Since Turri’s land doesn’t allow the sale of land, he can stay here. Owning the land is really like holding a golden rooster capable of continuously producing golden eggs, so you don’t have to worry about eating and dressing in the future. However, the entire Xubari Plain... No, the entire Turiyi region was as early as 10 years ago As soon as the land has been allocated, it is almost impossible for a new citizen to obtain the land of Turriy, unless he marries a widow of Turii who has a dead husband and no children, just like this war, I believe that There will be a lot of widows... alas—"

Puglius suddenly interrupted his words: "I have a question. The citizens of Turriy have died in war and have no children. Can't this land be inherited by his family or other relatives?"
