lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Gio Gris is considered rich in Amendorara (actually his wife), he owns 10 acres of mountainous land in Amendorara, all of which are planted with olive trees over ten years old, and he has his own oil press , To make olive oil, originally there was only a simple carriage in the house, which was mainly used to transport finished olive oil to the port of Turri. Since Danya married Gioglis, it is considered that Gioglis frequented Turi. Yi and Amendorara carried out military training and handled some military affairs. In order to support their husbands, they specially purchased a passenger carriage for their husbands to ride. In fact, Gioglis mostly rides on horses.
Although there are not many pedestrians on the avenue at this time, all the carriages set off in order. It has been almost a year since the completion of Amendorara-Turiyi Avenue, and some customary rules have been formed under the guidance of the alliance for safety and convenience in the use of the people.
Now the road bureau of the alliance has been established, and Heraclyde Jr. was successfully elected as the head of the department. According to the reported news, he was ready to start two things immediately: First, to submit a "Dionian Road Maintenance and Use Act" to the Senate, which is to prepare to transform these private road rules into the Union’s general rules. Formal road rules improve the efficiency of road use; second, he is preparing to propose a new avenue design plan and a plan to renovate the old avenue to the consul Daves.
The coachman drove the two horses to run at a constant speed, using the wooden wheels hooped with iron plates to spin "cangdangdangdang" fast on the flat road.
Gioglis listened to his wife's chatter in the bumpy carriage while thinking about what he had heard about the new road department.
"Tomorrow I am going to buy four more slaves." His wife's words caught his attention.
"Aren't our slaves enough?" Geogris asked suspiciously.
"You have newly allocated three acres of land in Crimea. I have not seen it yet. I heard that it is all good land. According to the regulations of the Union’s Ministry of Agriculture, it can only be used to grow wheat. You are busy now With the military affairs of the Alliance, there is no spare time to go to Crimea to work, of course I have to buy more slaves to take care of the farmland there for us for many years." Danya explained.
"Only three acres of land, you don't need so many slaves. Just providing for them will cost a lot of money." Geogris was used to being poor before, and still maintained the good habit of diligence and thrift.
"My dear, you don’t know that there are at least two or three slaves in the family of ordinary citizens in Dionia. Everyone understands that only by letting the adult men in the family make time for military training can they build merits in the war. , Gain honor, and win more land and concessions. The slave market that was built only half a year ago in the port of Turri has now expanded several times. The price of ordinary slaves has increased from 160 drachmas to two hundred. I don’t buy a few more drachmas now. When I want to buy them again in the future, I’m afraid the price has already risen to 300."
"Furthermore, the extra slaves can just let them go to Crimea to speed up the plowing of our farmland, dig ditches, and drive the seedlings. When the farming over there is finished, they can also be divided into several people to return to Amendo. The oil press in Lara assisted in the delivery of clay pots, and went to the port to take care of our olive oil shop...In the busiest autumn, more labor was needed to harvest wheat, harvest olives, press oil, and grind flour... etc. When we are working in the farm, our slaves are enough, we don't need to hire labor temporarily, which is a waste of money, and the efficiency is not high..." Danya explained to Geogris in detail.
Gioglis doesn’t know much about these things, but he trusts his wife’s abilities, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, do as you say."
Dania was happily snuggling in Georgris's arms.
The carriage stopped in front of the south gate of Turey City. According to regulations, carriages were not allowed to enter the city, so the Gioglis and his wife could only get out of the carriage and walk, with slaves behind them carrying his weapons and equipment to follow.
Along the way, we can see that many citizens are accompanied by wives, and even the elderly and children also come to see each other.
Since Daves has taken the lead (he often shows Kristonia in public) and the integration of a large number of Lucanians, the tradition of the wives of Greek city-state citizens to stay at home and avoid publicity is in Dio. Few people in Niah have complied.
"Gioglis! Geogris!"
Hearing someone calling himself, Geogris looked back hurriedly, but it was Oliver.
He rushed over with his Persian wife Mitra.
After the four greeted them, Olivers said excitedly: "I heard that you are back to the First Army again this time!"
"Because Captain Hilos is the chief executive of Asprostum, I just came to cover his shortcomings." Geogris still maintained the old habit when he was in Persia, called Captain Hilos.
"What temporary! Daves will definitely keep you in the First Army!" Olivers curled his lips and smiled mysteriously.
"Why?" Geogris asked suspiciously.
"Because serving as the captain of the first legion, it is easier to be the captain of the other legions." Olivers approached and whispered: "I heard that Daves proposed a bill to the Senate yesterday and it has been passed. ,'In the future, anyone who has outstanding performance as a corps commander for five years can become a member of the Senate after being elected by the elders!"
Gioglis hasn't spoken yet, Danya, who pricked her ears to the side, already said excitedly: "So in the future my husband will become the senator of the Senate!"
Olivers glanced at her and smiled: "Yes, but after me. To become a senior member of the Senate, you don’t only need to be able to fight wars, but you also need administrative skills. To be like me, not only serves as a charter. Lee’s patrol captain also invited a personal teacher to teach me how to read, count, and speak. Next year, I am also going to strive to be a secondary agricultural officer and commercial officer..."
Dania looked at her silent husband, and made up her mind: in the future, she should also urge him to strengthen his studies and engage in more local affairs. Don't always train recruits in the military department... etc.
Olivers looked at him again, and he thought it was very interesting: It was a good time for the honest Geogris to marry a savvy wife.
He took a close look at Danya, and suddenly showed a different color: "Are you pregnant?"
Dania stroked her lower abdomen proudly: "Five months!"
"My wife is pregnant too!" Olivers announced equally proudly, and Mitra lowered her head shyly.
"Our comrades in this squad, now I am afraid that only Captain Hiros and Matonis are not married." Gioglis said suddenly.
"You, the news is so blocked! Kunogolata fell in love with Silos, wanted him to be his son-in-law, and wanted Daves to be a matchmaker. Daves has agreed. There is Dave. Sis came forward, can Hiros agree with that piece of wood! As for Matonis, did you find that he behaved a bit strange when we left from Crimea?" Olivers smiled narrowly: "I let his men Quietly went to his brigade to inquire, and it turned out that this big guy was infatuated with a girl in Crimea...hahaha!"
"Really?!" Georgris looked surprised.
"Of course it's true! But, don't ask him, be careful that he beats you, and also implicates me." Olivers reminded.

Dionia sent troops in accordance with the covenant. Not only did he want to defeat Lokri as soon as possible, but it was also an opportunity to show the alliance's military might in the southern Italian city-states to increase his influence in this area, so Dionia not only Dispatch the most elite First Corps, and any company in the First Corps that is missing due to injuries or illnesses can be recruited from other corps with experienced soldiers to supplement, and even the personnel responsible for transporting the luggage are led by Zantiparis. The formation of multiple mercenaries not only guarantees the safety of the luggage, but also a powerful supplement to the combat troops. Of course, Daves and Felicius also have selfish intentions. I hope that these former comrades in arms can make new contributions and become Dioli as soon as possible. Asian prepared citizens.
The First Corps of more than 7,000 people, the 1,500-man escort, a total of nearly 9,000 troops, and numerous trucks composed of beasts, a large team passed Davers and the Senate in Victory Square After reviewing, he set off to the south in a mighty manner.

The first time Lockrie heard that the Alliance of Dionians (not yet called by this name) was in the first Crotone War, and Crotone’s army was actually attacked by Amendo, who was much smaller than them. The Lara army was defeated and captured.
The Lokerians were even more excited than they were pleasantly surprised. They are happy to see an extra city-state on the north side of Crotone that can cause trouble for Crotone, in line with the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend" , Lokri sent envoys to contact Amendorara, hoping to establish an alliance with him to deal with Crotone together. As a result, the Amendorara did not make any expressions. Instead, they signed an armistice treaty with the Crotones and returned several kilograms of Rotone soldiers to Crotone within half a year. Moreover, during the negotiations, Lorraine even became the bargaining chip for the Amendorara to threaten Crotone and achieve the purpose of the armistice, so the Lorraine began to resent Amendorara.
Half a year later, the second Crotone War broke out. Crotone’s army once again invaded the Dionian Alliance, which was formed by the Amendoras. Lockley let out a sigh of illness and didn’t forget them. Crotone’s arch enemy is Crotone, and he quickly sent an envoy to unite with Dionia again. Due to various factors, the emissary Metrophinis could not get in touch with Daves in time, but Crotone’s army did not. In just a few days, it was defeated by the Trionto River, leaving only a few thousand people to retreat to Crimea to resist the counterattack Dionian army. 9
