Christoia pointed to the glass in Andrea’s hand and said, “Beer is made from barley. The one you drink has been made after many trials and it tastes very good. It’s just that there’s a lot of dregs, but Daves said, “It’s okay, these things are good for the body if you eat them.” Now I have to drink a little every day, which quenches my thirst and is not as easy to get drunk like wine... "

"The taste of this beer is a bit special, but after drinking it, it makes people want to drink it again! Please give me another glass!" Andrea said, and handed the wooden cup to Azuna.

Asuna filled her again. She took another sip and said, "Madam, I have good news this time to tell you that the money we loaned to the citizens of Amendorara in April has already Most of it paid off!"

"So fast?!" Kristoya was slightly surprised.

"This year's wheat harvest. It is said that there are wars in Sicily and Peloponnese, so prices have increased. In addition, our restaurant has actively purchased cattle and sheep and even their offal. Earn a lot of money.” Andrea explained: “So they can repay the loan and interest, and some people also hope to continue to borrow more money and buy more cattle and sheep to satisfy the needs of our restaurant. Needed."

"Very good! They can make money, we can get back the loan, and we can make more money. Both parties have benefited. According to Davers, this is called a'win-win'. And, we can also Loan the money to Union Turiya citizens who need more money!"

"Madam, we earned a total of 400 drachmas from the loan interest this time, and the restaurant in Amendorara has only been open for more than a month and earned about 500 drachmas. So far we There are nearly a thousand drachmas in income!" Andrea said excitedly.

"Yes, who would have thought that the offal of livestock that the people disliked would make such a delicious food, and it would be good for the body too! If Daves hadn't put his mind on governing the city-state, he would surely become A well-known merchant in Greece!" Kristia said happily: "This time he gave me a very optimistic view of this beer. I am afraid that it will become our new money-making industry. Now we are waiting for the competition. The field is ready!"

"Master Davos is a descendant of Pluto, what else can't be! Bagul respects Master Davos very much!" Andrea agreed with praise, she remembered something, and said : "Madam, several groups of prospective citizens have come to the bank to inquire these days. They want to engage in maritime trade and ask if they can get a loan?"

"Marine trade?" Christia frowned, pondering for a while, and said, "Marine trade is more risky. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Then we will not be able to recover the loan. Not to mention they are still prepared. Citizens, once the foreign trade fails and they run away, where do we go to find someone to pay back the money?! However, Davers said that the biggest role of our bank is to support the business of the country and promote the prosperity and development of trade..." Listoria thought seriously, but forgot that she still had a rose in her hand that was about to be planted, and the thorns on the stem pierced her finger.

Asuna and Andrea immediately yelled over to help her **** her fingers and bandaged the wound with fine cloth.

Christoya didn’t think anything. She continued to say in earnest with regard to the question just now: “We must be cautious about preparing citizens to apply for loans. It depends on their sailing skills, whether they have equivalent collateral and a trustworthy guarantor... If all the previous conditions are met, it is best to indicate in the agreement that they are prohibited from doing things in the Mediterranean at the beginning. Long-distance maritime trade..."

"Madam, I understand." Andrea nodded.

When Christoya and Andrea were talking in the backyard, Daves was receiving two guests in the living room of the front yard.

"Hironimos, Agarcia, please take a seat! You two have come to me for the first time!" Daves happily welcomed them into the living room, and immediately let the slave go Bring dried figs, dates, and wine to entertain them.

Hieronimus was slightly restrained, while Agarcia smiled: "My lord, we want your permission for one thing!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"My lord, when we were both in Persia, in order to return to Greece, our companions helped each other and killed the enemy together, establishing a deeper friendship and relationship. In Byzantium, I, Hieronymus, and a few Your companions followed you to Great Greece. Most of the other comrades in arms finally chose to go home because of confusion and fatigue. I thought they had all returned to their hometowns and lived a peaceful life without war. Who knows some time ago, Egypt Some of the light infantry recruited by Pithenis from the Eastern Mediterranean said,'The mercenaries who expedition to Persia did not go home. They were forced by the Spartans to continue fighting with the Persians in Asia Minor for a small salary. '.

As soon as we heard this, we felt uncomfortable. We are enjoying a prosperous life here, but our former comrades in arms are still suffering from afar, and they may be killed at any time because of a javelin, a sharp sword, and a spear. Lord Archon, since we have so much surplus land and so many enemies such as Lucania and Crotone waiting for us to defeat, why don't we invite them here? ! Not only are they experienced on the battlefield, but they are also from the Eastern Mediterranean just like us. They have the same habits and are very familiar with each other. They are not like the citizens here—" Agarcia just said this, seeing Daves’ face changed. Quit hurriedly.

"What happened to the citizens here?" Daves asked in a deep voice.

Agarcia yelled and didn’t speak yet, Hilolimus took the conversation: “Some Turyians said, “We are inferior people from Greece. We only know **** people, we don’t have much knowledge, and we don’t know how to manage. The city-state will only mess up Turri...'"

Davers lowered his face, and immediately comforted them: "That's just a few people, most Turyians are very grateful to us! What's more, the power is in our hands. Let them talk and vent. A depressed mood, you can't hurt us anything. Are you right?!" Davers comforted.

"As for inviting Timathon and the others to the Tua Alliance, I haven't thought about it. But now they are Spartans' mercenaries. With our current strength, I still dare not provoke the Spartans."

"My lord!" Agarcia said earnestly: "You and I know that mercenaries are a free profession, if conditions are not good. They can leave their employers at any time. Now they are leaving only because of Timathon. The Spartans have nowhere to go, so they have to stay there, and we can provide them with a new choice. As long as they send people to Asia Minor quietly to spread the news, I believe they know our situation, they will definitely think Come here by all means!"

Agarcia’s words made Daves very moved. You must know that he can achieve his current career mainly through military victory, and the basis for making victory is these Greek expeditionary soldiers, and future wars will only change. More and bigger, he needs more good soldiers. He tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, weighing the pros and cons, and decided to give it a try: "Okay, then send someone, and it's better not to contact them directly, just spread the news. Have you thought about who to send? "

Hieronimus and Agarcia saw Davers agree, and they both beamed with joy.

"My lord, Hieronymus has to train soldiers, so let me go." Agarcia said.

"Yes, but pay attention to safety, go early and return early!" Daves nodded in agreement, and then said to Hironimos: "How about the training of citizens recently?"

"The recruits are very serious in training, especially the original Tury citizens. They have mastered various skills proficiently, and they lack real combat." Hironimos replied.

"In the near future, many new recruits will join the various teams, and our troops will be significantly expanded. I hope you will strengthen your training and not let your combat effectiveness drop. Next year, there will be opportunities for them to participate in real battles. "Daves asked.

Hieronimus' eyes lit up: Lucania? !

After Hironimos and Agarcia left happily, Daves’s expression became serious. He called to Asistes: “Recently, someone in Turíy was talking to Amendo. Lara people are dissatisfied, why are you going to find out? Who are they?"

"Yes!"

October, the leisure time, logically should be the month for the Greek city-states to convene citizens’ assemblies and elect generals and consuls, but the consuls of the Tua Union are the only and lifelong and do not need to be elected; the senators either There are special approvals by the consuls, or they can progress according to their qualifications, and there is nothing to do with citizens; all senior public officials serve for two years in accordance with the newly passed law, and they are elected by the Senate and appointed by the cons, and there is no citizenship. thing.

Fortunately, at this time, the citizens of the Tua Union—Amendorans are busy doing various businesses because the warehouse and hotel area under the city are getting more and more prosperous, while the citizens of the Tua Union—Turiyi people are betting their energy. On rebuilding the homeland. Prepare citizens to be excited about the land they rented for the first time in their lives. They started loosening the land, fertilizing, and watering the land early. The job vacancies they vacated were taken by more free citizens who had learned the news and poured in frantically. Fill up, the port area is full of Gentiles with various accents. They act as sailors, porters, cleaners, and even small businesses... While they are doing dirty and tiring work, they actively register at the household registration office, and then He kept his fingers and counted the days, looking forward to two years later, he could immediately apply for a pre-citizenship.
