Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Later, some savvy private homeowners ran to discuss with the household registration department, and finally reached an agreement: these homeowners can also put the information of the rented house in the household registration office, recommended by the household registration staff, but the price is subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Commerce. It is necessary to pay taxes on time, and at the same time accept the supervision of the rental house by the construction agency. Although the homeowner paid a certain price, the endorsement of the Kingdom’s public sector is naturally favored by those in need. Later, other homeowners have to join. Come in, otherwise there will be no business to come, thus gradually standardizing the chaotic housing rental market in the Kingdom.

Of course, public housing and private housing recommendation is a big fatal difference, especially in Turui, it is inevitable that there will be corruption and bribery, and has been repeatedly reported by the escort officer, which aroused Davies' anger and ordered the Minister of Supervision Sesta personally supervised and arrested a group of household registration officials before suppressing this evil spirit. This is still the target of the protection officials.

The reason why the person in the household registration office is happy to see someone want to rent a private house is because once the rent is successful, some homeowners will thank him, such as please have a meal, give a basket of fruit, etc., because This is too trivial, and the supervisory department barely manages it.

The household registration staff recommended him a better private rental house on the side. Massims only regarded it as a deaf ear. After all, he was literate, and he already had his own requirements for rental houses: first of all, the house area should be large enough, because his family of 4 People; secondly, the rent is cheaper, because his savings are not enough, and he plans to spend most of his money on children’s learning in the future, because according to his knowledge, he needs at least five or six to become a Dionysian citizen. Years, and during this time, the children are not eligible to go to Dionysian school, they can only go to privately-built schools. Although the tuition is expensive and the quality is lower, he can’t let the children We will waste this time.

After reading all the dense rental information on the wall, Maximus locked roughly five or six targets, and then took out 10 Opol and bought a small piece of papyrus (the original price of a piece of paper was less than 10). Opol, but it includes the service fee of the household registration office). After copying the above address and expressing gratitude to the household registration staff, he left the household registration office and took his family to find the homeowner according to the address on the paper.

The first homeowner found was a widow. Her husband was originally a soldier of the First Army. She died in Latham. She did not remarry. She took three children alone, relying on the land of 30 acres of Xubari Plain left by her husband. His own slaves are responsible for farming and renting houses while living well.

But when she saw that the renter was a Roman, she immediately refused to rent, because her husband died under the Roman spear, and she still resented it.

Massim had no choice but to leave.

The second homeowner he found was a disabled person, but he was a soldier of the Second Legion. He was seriously injured in the war with the Romans and his legs were amputated. He saw at a glance that Massim was a Roman. , Without giving him a chance to speak, drove him out of the house.

Massim has been to Tururi City a few times before, but hastened to enter. After finishing his work, he returned hurriedly, and did not reach the residents of Turiri as deeply as he did today. This time he was deeply Having experienced the impact of that war on the Turiris, many of them may have a very bad perception of the Romans, which made Massim vigilant.

He finally found the third homeowner. This is a middle-aged man. From the awkward posture of walking, Massim judged that his left leg was somewhat disabled, which gave him a bad hunch.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man said as soon as he saw him, "You must be a Roman!"

Massim's heart tightened, but he also had to say the truth: "...Yes, I am a Roman. I just got free and plan to live in Turrii, so I want to rent your house."

The host did not directly answer, but looked at him, and then continued with emotion: "Although many people think that the Romans and Latins are the same race, they look the same, and they are not clear. But in reality, the Romans are Latins are still very different, they are more confident and more imposing.

Five years ago, I was the company captain of the First Army. I participated in that large-scale war and fought against multiple races. In my memory, the fight against the Romans was the most difficult to fight. The Carthaginians are much harder to beat!

Among them, the defensive battle of Ostia is still unforgettable to this day. I still remember that your Roman army launched a strong attack on the city of Ostia at that time. Late at night, the soldiers were too tired to stand up, and saw the roman corpses lying under the city. At that time, many people thought that your casualties were heavy. You should rest on the second day and not attack again.Who knows that it was just dawning on the second day, and you blew the offensive trumpet, and just attacked for three days in a row!

...My left leg was injured at that time... I saw some familiar comrades who had died in battle. I really thought that I would also follow them to the underworld. I did not expect that His Majesty ordered us to evacuate and burned. Osti... At that time, many of our legions were very unwilling!Because this is the first retreat of our First Army since it was established when facing the enemy's attack. Although it was His Majesty's order...but we have to admit that if we insist on defense, the First Army will likely suffer heavy casualties... …"

Hearing the homeowner’s sigh, Massim was silent for a while, and then whispered: "... I was the squadron leader of the siege team, and it was the fighting in those days that destroyed our confidence. ... leading to the final failure..."

"Fortunately, we all belong to the same kingdom now, no more wars!" The owner comforted him, and said, "You are here to rent a house, this is fine. How much do you want to rent?"

Massimus thought that this house was gone, but the owner's words surprised him. He immediately said: "I hope to be able to rent the building near Asinu-Amara Arena 8 drachma rented rooms per month."

The homeowner was about to speak, and the servant standing next to him whispered a few words. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Are you living with your wife and two children?"

Massim nodded: "They are waiting outside the door."

The owner thought for a while and said: "The house on the top floor is cheap and large in size, but it is wooden, and it is high. It can't block the wind at night, it will be colder, especially in winter, your The child is still young, I’m afraid it’s easy to get sick... Well, it’s still that building, there is an empty room on the third floor that has not been rented out, and the area is not small. The original rental price was 25 drachmas. I’ll rent it to you. I only charge 13 drachmas per month, what do you think?"

Massimus was surprised, he did not readily accept it, but asked cautiously: "Why do you give such a benefit to a stranger?"

The homeowner did not feel displeased by his hesitation, but said directly: "Because you are a Roman, and a Roman who has fought us, your bravery won my admiration, and you came to seek me Help, but bravely admit that I was my enemy, this honest behavior makes me more at ease. In addition -"

The owner looked at him carefully, and then said firmly: "You should have served in a slave camp before. It is logically impossible to be free before Hades celebrations, but if you do, you must be very good. If you are good, you will get amnesty! Although I lost a little money, but I know a Roman who is worth making, I think it is worth it!"

The host said frankly, Massimos moved, and he solemnly saluted: "Thank you for your trust, I am willing to rent the three-story room. My name is Massi... My name is Brutus Ma. Sims."

"Nishidamas, now the head of the village south of the slave camp, is very pleased to meet you." The host also returned the same earnestly.

Massim did not feel a little dissatisfied because the homeowner only said one name. According to his understanding, many Dionysian citizens were formerly born as refugees or slaves, and now become the first Dionys with identity Citizens of the Kingdom, they do not want to use the name of their lowly father as their surname, but they want to use their name as the surname of future generations, so they still maintain only the name and no sex, which is obtained by King Davis allow.

Nisidamas asked his servants to bring the Masims to the rental building.

This building is located not far north of the Asinu-Amara Arena, just on the side of the main road, and the surrounding traffic is very prosperous, which also makes the housing rents here rise.

This type of rental building is the most common "back" shaped building in the outer suburbs of Turui. It was first designed by engineers of the Ministry of Construction for public rental housing. Because it can maximize the use of space and provide more housing At the same time, it can also take care of business and ensure safety, and it will soon be popularized in the densely populated outer city of Turi.

The main body of this building is made of stone, about 13 meters high, with a total of 5 floors. The lowermost floor is used as a shop and office. The upper 4 floors are houses. The roof can be used for storage. Of course, private homeowners earn more Money is also often used to build wooden lofts on the roof.The center of the round-shaped building is an open space, which can ensure that both sides of the floor can be exposed to sunlight and air circulation.

Massimo followed the servants into the building, and at a glance saw a square pool in the open space in the center of the building. The clear water flow spewed out from the mouth of a statue that may be a Greek deity (Poseidon), the center of the pool There is another statue of a Greek deity, which he is familiar with-Hades, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionysia.
