"If it were not for your help, I would not be today!" Hesklaus quickly stated: "I am willing to always serve you!"
"Hey, we are mutually beneficial. No one wants to serve whom." Sostatus said simply: "If one day you want to develop independently, no problem, just tell me. My father used to I said a word, "The more friends, the wider the road." I have always kept it in mind, and implemented it according to this, so I have today's status. Even if you want to be independent in the future, I will support it, and we are still friends. Well, we can still help each other."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Hesklaus said repeatedly, but he took Sostatus' words to heart.
"I'll tell you the business." Sostatus suddenly became serious: "It is because I have a great reputation in the pottery shop in the inner city. His Majesty Daves knows about it, so he ordered from me. I have ordered a batch of pottery. The order I sent you 7 days ago is what he wants! You must use the best clay, the best potter, and the best bottle painter. According to the requirements I mentioned earlier, Produce the most exquisite pottery in the shortest time, and then send it to Turiyi. If you can satisfy your majesty... Think about it, we may become a pottery vendor specializing in supplying the royal family. By then, the entire kingdom And the people of the allies of the kingdom will definitely be proud of owning our pottery! More importantly, if you are satisfied with your majesty, I will mention that you are a Peleus and come from his hometown. Then he will treat you differently, you Say yes?!"
Hesklaus opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot. He never thought that the previous order was so important to him. He has paid enough attention to it, but now it seems that it is not enough. He immediately said: "I I will rush back to Athens tomorrow and personally urge the workers to make the best of the best!"
Sostatus nodded, and comforted: "Don’t worry, the sports meeting will not be held until a month later. There is no time in time. I will buy the tickets for the opening ceremony and some important games. Don't worry, concentrate on doing this thing well!... Oh and this little guy—"
Sostatus patted Lirias on the head: "Don't let him toss back and forth, just stay at my house, I will let someone take care of her!"
"Okay!" Hesklaus agreed without hesitation.
Lirias looked up at the two blankly, he still didn't know what happened while playing with the statue.
At this time, a teenager ran over: "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"You are here just right." Sostatus beckoned: "This is Uncle Hesklaus, my partner."
"Hello, Uncle Hesklaus!" The boy immediately stepped forward to say hello very politely.
At the same time, Sostatus pointed at him and introduced: "This is my second son Sosiklis."
Hesklaus was a little embarrassed because he didn't specially prepare gifts for Sostatos' children.
Sostatus certainly doesn’t care about this. He pointed to Hesklaus’ son and said, “This is your uncle’s son Lirias. He will stay at home for a while. You are the little master , Take care of her and let him have fun in Turey, understand?"
"Understood, father." Sosiklis stepped forward and quickly took Lirias and ran into the inner courtyard together.
"My lord, this... really troubles you!" Hesklaus said with some emotion.
"I, I have three children. One of them fell ill and died when he was young..." Sostatus chatted casually: "There are only two sons left. Uncle’s influence, unwilling to do business, willing to be a soldier, and now an officer in the Border Army stationed in Thessaly (There was a riot in the Border Army in the Po area, and the Ministry of Military Affairs learned a lesson from this, stipulating: Border The chief of the corps and the officers above the corps must be served by regular Dionian officers to ensure the absolute loyalty of the entire corps to the kingdom). 4 years ago, I went to Thessaly mainly to visit him. As a result, Ha Bless you, Diss, let me discover you, a very capable businessman——"
"My lord, you passed the award." Hesklaus was a little embarrassed, but of course he would not know that Sostatus went to Sesali back then, visiting his son was only one of the reasons, the important thing is to open up Sessa The business channel between Li and Dionia, because Hiros was his brother-in-law, he had some convenience in doing things in Thessaly. It was just a coincidence that he met Hesklaus, a pottery merchant. Although he did have some abilities, at the time Sostatus valued his origin more, because he was from Peleus.
"...So I had no choice but to pin my hopes on Sosiklis, hoping that he can inherit my family business in the future..." Sostatus said, taking Hesklaus into the front The restaurant in the courtyard, this restaurant has a large area with a lot of tables, but only a few people are chatting.
"Come on, let me introduce you to you." Sostatus said with a smile: "This is Hesklaus from Thessaly! This is Iskara from Messenia Si! This is Ionidas from New Sparta! This is Andor Kiddes from Arcadia Alliance!..."
When Sostatus finished the introduction, the four people immediately discovered what they had in common: all came from the regions and allies that joined Dionia after the Greek War, and they were all established by joining Sostatus. Newcomers to the huge business network, it’s no wonder that they came so early and immediately felt intimacy.
Just as everyone shook hands and greeted each other, Sostatus' henchman hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the master. Sostatus immediately left and strode towards the courtyard gate.
At this time, his housekeeper respectfully welcomed in a thin and energetic old man.
"Master Tios, I didn't expect you to be the first guest to arrive!" Sostatus smiled so that his fat face was like a flower: "Welcome, welcome, your arrival will make me feel good. Xun is brilliant!"
"Businessman, the important thing is to be punctual and trustworthy." Tios said earnestly: "It's good to say that if you arrive at dusk, you should arrive at dusk, and you should be fined for any late nights!"
"The order given by Lord Tios, then I will definitely carry it out!" Sostatus said with a grin: "If you don't let those who are late tonight drink down, the banquet will not end! But Raos Sir, should you be fined for drinking too?"
"I came so early, why should I be fined for drinking?" Tios pretended to be puzzled.
"Your son Aksikus married Princess Avia, this is a great happy event!" Sostatus said angrily, "You actually did the wedding quietly and did not hold it. The banquet invites us to celebrate, and even during this period of time, we can’t escape to meet people. Is it because you are now a relative of your Majesty, and you think you have a high status, so you look down on our old brothers!"
"Don’t talk nonsense! Last time I made it clear to you, it’s not that I don’t want to celebrate, it’s because Princess Agnes and Princess Avia don’t want to stir up the marriage, so it’s your Majesty. I specifically gave me instructions to do that. I was also very depressed. After they attended the marriage festival, they hid directly in the palace mansion. When the wedding was held on the hill of kings, only our family was allowed to go up. , Many of my relatives are still complaining about me!"
"Hahaha..." Sostatus smiled heartily: "I heard that Princess Aegness and Princess Avia are very quiet people. It's not surprising that you can make such an arrangement. But Princess Ivia is beautiful and virtuous. How many young talents in the kingdom want to marry her. In the end, your son succeeded. This fully proves that Aksikus is very good!"
Teos was very proud of his heart, but said modestly: "I can't talk about excellence, but just happened to be shot by Eros' golden arrow. Princess Ivia is the director of the zoo, Aksiku Si also likes animals. You know that the iron cages for animals in the zoo are all made by my iron workshop. Whenever an iron cage is to be built, Aksikus personally takes people to the site to survey and make... After a long period of time, when Aksikus suddenly told me that he was going to marry Ivia, I was shocked. I didn't know how they got on well?"
"Okay, please don't be proud, Lord Tios! Tonight's banquet will be celebrated by our old friends. You must be drunk to go home!"
"Yes!" Teos nodded very simply: "But you have to get drunk with me too!"
"Why?"
"Because you also have a happy event to celebrate!" Tios blinked his eyes: "Don't think I don't know, your brother Deca Okrat has become the commander of the army!"
"What a happy event this is." Sostatus disapproved: "There are dozens of legion chiefs in the whole kingdom. My brother is only a legion commander at his age. It's nothing at all."
"The commander of the legion is nothing, but it's nothing to be the commander of the veteran." Theos said calmly.
"He has just become a legion commander, and it is impossible to be elected as a veteran in the short term. There are many legion leaders in front of him..." Sostatus is not hopeful about this, although the veteran is now The rights of the Kingdom are not as good as before, but they are still noble, and they also have the power to select ministers, select regional chiefs, listen to and evaluate local officials' reports... etc., and are also the main power of the Kingdom Assembly to amend and enact laws at the beginning of each year. Therefore, both administrative officials and military generals are still eager to enter the Senate.
Sostatus was talking, suddenly thinking of something, looked at Tios with a mysterious smile, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any inside information?"
