Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"In addition, we initially predict that during the Games, more than 100,000 tourists may come to Turei to watch the game compared to normal times. This will inevitably bring a great burden to the entire Turei. I and Aga The West Asia had a discussion (Agarcia was promoted to the Minister of Inspectorate the year before), and he has drawn a lot of inspectors from the nearby areas, and plans to send additional patrol teams during the Games to maintain order in the entire Turiyi area.

Considering that half of these tourists may have come to Turri for the first time, our preparation team mobilized the schools in Turri and the Dionian Academy by referring to the method implemented at the beginning of the Rugby Finals 16 Young people over the age of five act as volunteers for the Games and provide assistance to these tourists..."

After Cloto Kataks spent more than 10 minutes, after finishing the preparatory work clearly and clearly, the ministers began to talk quietly.

The first question is from the Minister of Finance Archibides: "Consultant, in the past two years, your preparatory team has extracted 1,000 talent silver from the treasury. It is said that there is not much left, but after the Games You will also award a lot of silver to the athletes who won the championship in each event, and hold a grand celebration banquet at the end of the sports meeting... I just want to ask how much money the preparation team needs from the Finance Department?” Because of consideration When the object of his questioning was the future king, Archibides' tone had been as restrained as possible.

Cloto Kataks smiled and said, "Master Archibides, the information you have received is not accurate. The prize money for the winning athletes and the cost of the final celebration banquet are all included in the previous financial department allocated to the preparation team. Among this sum, because the money has been allocated, it will give you this illusion. In fact, this sum is not only sufficient, but there should be a little left at the end of the sports meeting."

"Then wait until the sports meeting is over, please return the remaining money to the Finance Department as soon as possible!" Archibides blurted out.

"As one of the members of the preparatory team, I want to add some more explanations." Commercial Secretary Fracus interjected (Marigi resigned and retired on the grounds of old age and frailty the year before, and Fracus recommended by him was succeeded): "His Royal Highness Cloto Kataks said just now that he was very modest. In fact, by the end of the Games, the preparatory team did not only have a little money left, but a lot.

The first is that most of the shops in the commercial streets we temporarily added in the city have been sold yesterday, and the rent obtained has exceeded 100 tarients, and there are also many foreign merchants who come to Turiyi for business. Registered at the office and asked to rent shops during the Games. Now the additional commercial streets are no longer enough. Last night, His Royal Highness urgently convened the preparation team for a small meeting, and finally decided to go to Castellon and Amendola. Three more temporary markets will be added near the port... I believe that at the end of the Games, we will be able to earn about 300 tarrants by relying on shop rent alone."

Fracus said more and more proudly: "Also...all the merchandise advertisements placed inside and outside the arena have been sold, and his income has exceeded 100 tarients (placing and hanging merchandise advertisement boards inside and outside the arena It was implemented in Turei 10 years ago. It is precisely because of seeing the annual rugby and football finals in full swing, Daves inadvertently made this suggestion to Mariji. Mariji, like a treasure, set about immediately In the beginning, businessmen were unwilling to pay for placing advertisements in the arena, mainly to please the Minister of Commerce Mariji. As a result, the sales volume of goods placed in the arena for advertisements has increased greatly. Since then, they have used competitive games. The practice of advertising became popular in the kingdom).

In addition, according to our Ministry of Commerce's forecast, due to the holding of the Games in July, the commercial tax in the entire Turiyi area will more than double, that is to say, the income of at least 600 tarients will be increased!

Master Archibides, has this already earned back the 1000 Tarients paid by the Finance Department before!Not to mention that the holding of the Games will enhance the attractiveness of Turri to the people of the Mediterranean. After the Games, the number of people visiting Turri should keep growing for a long time, which is very good for our taxation."

"Okay!" Daves patted the armrest of the throne and said with a smile: "You have made so much money before the game starts. It seems that we insisted on holding this sports meeting and did not hurt the people and money because of gambling. On the contrary, it is of great benefit to the treasury!"

Hearing what Davers said, the ministers who opposed it at the beginning were all a little embarrassed.

At this time, the Minister of Academic Affairs Mento Tique Els asked: "His Royal Highness, Turiyi is densely populated. I remember that many years ago, the current director of Dionian Academy, Lycias, once wrote an article describing The hustle and bustle of Turiyi, as well as the busy sea and land traffic and the hard work of countless people in order to ensure the food, clothing and housing of Turiyi people... Now the sports meeting will be held in Turiyi. You said that there will be more than One hundred thousand people flocked to Turiyi! One hundred thousand is a huge number. Will it overwhelm the entire urban supply system of Turiyi and bring huge difficulties to the lives of the people of Turiyi?"

"I will answer this question." The Chief Executive of the Turíy Region, Theis, took the conversation and said, "First of all, let’s talk about eating. The merchants of the kingdom are very savvy. They have anticipated the Games. It will be very grand, so in the past few months many restaurants and hotels have begun to stock food, bacon, cattle and sheep, wine... According to the information I have received, half of the warehouses in all ports and markets are now used for food storage. , It should be no problem to supply 500,000 to 600,000 people for one month. If there is still a shortage, I have reached an agreement with Lord Burkos to use the granary in northern Turiyi to calm Turi in an emergency. Food prices in Iraq may rise.

Let's talk about it again.In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Nowadays, citizens in urban and suburban areas mostly rely on renting houses for their livelihoods, and there are enough houses to provide for tyranny tourists.And the market will automatically guide tourists not to live in the city, because the price of housing in the city is bound to be expensive, and the farther away from the city, the cheaper the rental price, such as Amendorara, Castellon, Bisignia and even Cree Misa, I think the tourists who come to watch the games are not necessarily wealthy. They have to spend more than 10 days or even a month in the Turiyi area, and they will definitely decide where they live based on the amount of gold and silver they bring.Moreover, trained volunteers will specifically guide tourists. When the tourists are scattered throughout the Turiyi area, I think the people in Turiyi will not feel too crowded and noisy.

Of course, to ensure that tourists scattered throughout the Turiyi area can watch the game smoothly and timely, we must also have convenient and fast transportation.This is actually not a big problem. The road conditions in the Turriy area are the best in the entire kingdom, and for this Games, Lord Heraclid has personally urged his subordinates to build new roads and bridges since last year.

In addition, our Turiyi District Administrative Office will also issue some temporary laws during the Games, such as not allowing pack teams to enter the city during the day, and relying on shipping as much as possible for cargo transportation... Another example is that in addition to going to the games, the people of Turiyi should minimize travel. ...

In addition, the Executive Office also specifically discussed with the Carriage Association, requiring them to carry passengers at the usual price during the Games, and to provide good service.

His Royal Highness has mentioned that Lord Agarcia will strengthen public security in the Turri area during the Games. Another important issue that needs to be paid attention to is to prevent fires.It's summer, and the sky is dry and things are dry. People are crowded during the Games. Once a fire breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.Therefore, the Administration Office formulated a plan for this aspect a few months ago and started to implement it. During the Games, the firefighting teams in the entire region must be on standby all day and ready to go for rescue at any time; some volunteers were assigned to serve as temporary firefighters. The firefighting team also requires that people in the Turiyi area must be equipped with a pool full of water in their homes. Now, after several rounds of inspections, the blocks have basically met the requirements; the administrative office has also Organized fire drills in various neighborhoods..."

"Very good! Thilis, your Turrii Administrative Office has been very thoughtful and prepared, which gave me a little more confidence in the victory of the Games." Daves smiled and praised.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of more than a year's hard work with the preparatory team!" Thelis responded modestly.As the chief executive of the district, he could not attend the meeting of ministers, but since the main topic of the meeting was the preparations for the sports meeting, he certainly had to attend.In fact, in the previous year, Lycias and Hermon retired one after another. He also participated in the election of the Senate as a backup candidate for the Minister of State, but he lost to Bagul and Asistes in the end.

"I heard that Olympia, Delphi, the priests of Poseidon in Corinth, and the priests of the Parthenon in Athens all refused to come to Turei and participate in the training of referees. How did the preparation team deal with this?" Pirus asked.

"I want to leave this question to the respected Priest Plesinus to answer." Cloto Kataks smiled and made an inviting gesture to his side.

According to regulations, Priestnas, the priest of the scepter, is usually unable to attend the Executive Council of the Kingdom Ministers, but as a member of the preparatory group, he also received an invitation today.Now in his 70s, he is still red and full of energy. He smiled slightly and looked more kind and kind: "Before answering Master Tapirus' question, first of all, I would like to sincerely thank Your Majesty for holding such a grand sports meeting with such great courage. , So that the Temple of Hades has such a good opportunity to show the world the light and glory of the god Hades!"
