As soon as Tios had finished speaking, Dickpolis said: "Although the practices of your majesty and the Ministry of Commerce are harsher to our Turiyi Chamber of Commerce, their fundamental purpose is to show people in other countries in the Mediterranean. Kingdom, show us Turiyi, and promote Turiyi’s commerce and trade more prosperous.

In the long run, the prosperity and growth of Turiyi business is more conducive to the development of our Turiyi businessmen. This is a great thing. I think we should be happy and try our best to assist the Ministry of Commerce in this Good business for the Games! "

Sostatus looked at Dickpolis: Dickpolis took the initiative to speak for him, and had actually indicated to him that he was willing to regain friendship with him.

The others at the banquet were also thoughtful after listening to Theos and Dickpolis.

Sostatos laughed and said loudly: "Everyone, after the business talks, let's not just stand still, come! Come! Hurry up and eat, this is the dish carefully prepared by the chef I supervised. It’s almost cold now, don’t waste it!"

…………………………………………………………

The banquet in the backyard lobby has just begun. The banquet in the front yard living room is under the auspices of the butler Sostatus.

Hesklaus was already a little blushing and hot. Next to him, a Carthage businessman who was still a stranger, now affectionately pulled him and said non-stop: "You just said that you brought the child to Turey is here, how old is he?"

"Nine years old."

"It seems that you are going to let him go to school in Turei, right?"

"No, no, you are mistaken, I just took my children to watch the games. The Kingdom has also built schools in Larissa and Philae. I plan to send my son back to Cesali for school next year."

"I advise you." The Carthage businessman didn't seem to hear Hesclaus's response. He hiccuped and continued: "It's best to let the child go to school in Turíy. This will help him grow up. Whether in business or politics, it is of great help. After all, Sesali is now incorporated into Dionia. You are a citizen of Dioria. This is your luck..."

Hesklaus was very moved when he heard it.

At this moment, a head suddenly appeared from behind, and it frightened him. It turned out that it was the merchant of Massilia (i.e., Marseille) he had just met.

The businessman apparently heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "I heard that there are more than 10 Dionian schools in Turei?"

"Of course, you didn't see how many people there are in Turey. It is said that it has exceeded 400,000 people, which is several times the population of our Carthage!" The Carthage businessman said with some sigh, "So one or two. Where is enough school? I heard that there is almost one school in one block now—"

The Massilia merchant took over with some excitement: "I heard that the school in Turíné city is the best, and the children of His Majesty the King, the children of the elders, and the children of the important officials of the kingdom are all studying there. I heard that they It also recruits students from other countries. If our child can study in this school, it will definitely be of great help to his future development!"

"Don't have sweet dreams!" The Carthage merchant spit out grape seeds on the table and sneered: "The inner city school has children from the royal family and the kingdom's high-ranking ministers studying in it, can it not be tightly guarded! It does recruit students from other countries, but only two types of people are recruited. One is the children of soldiers who died in the war in the Turiyi area, and the other is the children of the heads of races and city-states attached to the Kingdom of Dionia, like you and me. , It’s impossible to let children enter that school...

However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t enter the inner city school. These schools in the outer city are also very good. Some veterans and the children of the kingdom officials also study in it. Back then, my eldest son studied at the school in the east outer city not far from here. Of——"

"Do these schools accept children who are not Dionian citizens like us?" The Massilla businessman asked in surprise.

"Of course it's impossible, but there are other ways--" The Carthage merchant smiled weirdly, and pointed at the wine on the table: "After you have three glasses, I will tell you."

Without a word, the Massilla businessman picked up his wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Masilia, the only Greek colonial city-state established within the sphere of influence of the Gauls, except that it had accepted the invitation of the Greek city-states such as Kumai in Campania during the early colonial period to jointly resist the northward expansion at sea Since then, the Carthaginians have not participated in any disputes of forces on the Italian peninsula, and have been immersed in development.

Because of its frequent proximity to the Tylerian Sea and the foothills of the Alps, it is located at the mouth of the Rhone River. Next to it is another famous mountain pass that connects Italy with the Gaul region outside the mountain. The Massilia built tall and strong The city wall made the Gauls who were underdeveloped arms have nothing to do with them. On the contrary, Massilia took advantage of its own sea and land routes to develop itself into a well-known port for trade in the Gaul region outside the mountains to the Mediterranean.

Although they will be harassed by the Gauls from time to time, the Massilia, who benefited a lot from it, were satisfied with their transcendent status. It was not until Dionia conquered Rome and became the overlord of Italy. Conform to the situation and form an alliance with Dionia. To this day, the entire Western Mediterranean, even the former overlord Carthage, is attached to the Holy Kingdom of Dionian, let alone some of the Allied states of Dionian voluntarily requesting to be incorporated into the kingdom, but Massilia still maintains the old covenant. Unchanged, the trade has frequent contacts with Dionia, but in politics it has always maintained a close distance.

But in fact, many Massilia businessmen saw the growing power of the Dionian Kingdom, and they became more and more uneasy. Close diplomatic relations", but this proposal was never passed at the citizens’ assembly, because ordinary Massilia people are used to this kind of closed and isolated comfort and do not want this situation to change, so some Massilia businessmen can only think Ways to make the relationship between his family and the Kingdom of Dionian become closer, to ensure the safety and development of the family, just like this Massilia businessman did.

He patted the empty wine glass on the dining table, and then said: "Three...three glasses are finished, you...you can say it!"

The Carthaginian merchant saw his eyes straight, and he dared to sell it again. He quickly said, "Uh...well, I said...this...Although Dionysian laws stipulate that only Dionysian is allowed Only children of sub-citizens can enter the Dionian School, but it is not without loopholes.

You should know that many of Dionian citizens are refugees from the Eastern Mediterranean. They wandered around Dionian alone, and eventually became official citizens and settled permanently, but some of them got married after they got married. He died on the battlefield without a child..." The Carthage businessman smiled: "The adopted sons and daughters of Dionian citizens are legally binding. If you can get the widows of war dead citizens to agree to recognize your children as Adopt a child and register at the local household registration office, then your child can enter the school as a future Dionian citizen! I think at the beginning, Master Sostatus helped my child enter the school in Turíy through this method..."

"Oh... so it's like this!" The Massilla businessman listened, and his mind changed sharply, thinking about how to ask Sostatus to help his child do this too.

"This method won't work now!" A thick voice came from behind the Carthage merchant.

Hesklaus and the Malayan merchants immediately said respectfully: "Master Kaunus!"

When the Carthaginian merchant turned his head, he saw Kaunus, the butler of Sostatus standing behind him, and quickly got up to say hello.

Kaunus was originally Kunogorata’s confidant slave. He was freed many years ago and became a Dionian citizen, but he was willing to continue to play for Kunogorata and later became Sostatus’ right-hand man, the huge commercial sales network established by Sostatus, was mainly implemented by him. Many downstream businessmen deal with him more than Sostatus. , Which is why he was able to host this banquet well, and the merchants were willing to flock around him.

At this moment, he looked at the Carthaginian merchant with a deep look in his eyes, which made the Carthaginian shiver and realized that he was a little bit gagged.

Kaunus quickly put on a smile and said loudly to the people around him: "The method he said worked 10 years ago, but after reports by the Turrii guards, the Senate A decree was specifically issued in this regard, “Unless one of the biological parents is a Dionian citizen, he or she can be adopted by other Dionian citizens to enjoy the rights that the kingdom’s minor citizens should enjoy.' So in Today the children of the Gentiles are adopted by Dionian citizens, and they still cannot enter the Dionian school! But—"

Kaunus looked at the Massilia businessman who looked frustrated, and said seriously: "There are other ways for your children to study in schools in the kingdom. For example, in the population of Capsa and Calagosso. Few towns, the Kingdom also has schools in these towns and dispatched teachers. Because there are few students, it is actually a waste. If you apply to the Ministry of Education in Turyi, you are willing to pay high admission fees. There is no problem for your children to study in schools in these towns."

"But...what's the point of letting children study in these remote places?" The Massilia businessman seemed a little disappointed.

"First of all, even the teachers who teach in schools in remote towns in the kingdom are all graduated from Dionian schools and even academies. They have passed the examinations of the Ministry of Education and have undergone more than one year of professional training. Only after obtaining the teacher qualification can you be a school teacher, and his teaching ability is guaranteed."
