lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
At night, Christoya came to Daves’ big account and heard about the daytime. Based on her knowledge of Daves, she said: "Do you want to annex those mercenaries?"
"I really want to help them." Davers said seriously.
"Really?" Kristia smiled charmingly, her plump chest was attached to Davers's strong chest, her head lifted up, her **** red lips were beautiful and beautiful.
"Really." Daves lowered his head, suddenly pinched his soft and moist lips, and allowed to **** forcefully.
This kiss ignited the passions of both parties. Davers stretched out his hand and picked up Kristia...
At this moment, the voice of Martius came from outside the tent: "The leader, Merses and Mariji want to see you."
Davos cursed in a low voice, and with an unkind expression, he just wanted to say: "No see!"
Christoia smiled and punched him, and said: "It must be important to have two contradictory people, Melses and Mariji, come to see you together!"
Davers knew that she was right, so he reluctantly put down Christia and kissed her twice on the mouth unwillingly.
Christoya pushed him away.
Mercis and Mariji went into the big tent, seeing Kristia in the tent, and didn’t care at all. The close relationship between Daves and Kristia has long been in the army. Open the secret, and then they explained their intentions directly to Daves.
It turned out that when the soldiers started to build the camp, Merses and the others were not idle. No, it should be said that the Turyians were not idle. Although Turiyi prohibits mercenaries from entering the city, the Greeks are a well-known business people. As soon as they hear that mercenaries are coming, there are merchants and vendors running to the old city of Sobaris to see if there are any business opportunities. . In addition to the food provided by Turiyi, the mercenaries of course also need other daily necessities, so the two sides hit it off.
At the beginning of the trade, it was only one-way. The Tureys were the sellers and the mercenaries were the buyers. But soon, Merses discovered that these Tury merchants were very interested in something in the barracks. On the way back, mercenaries not only robbed women and slaves, they also robbed a large number of gold and silverware and some artworks, such as peculiar spice wood carvings, exquisite golden statues, exotic ivory carvings, etc. Wait, it was supposed to be taken home in the future, that is, it can be used as a display, and it can also be used as a souvenir and proof of bragging. Although a lot has been lost due to the constant fighting along the way, some of it has been retained.
For Tury merchants who are thousands of miles away from Persia, these objects from the hinterland of Persia and some unheard of races are extremely exotic, making them very strange. They immediately realized that these items were valuable, and they all expressed their intention to buy them to Melsis.
Mercis is not a fool, of course he can't sell it cheaply, not to mention that some things don't belong to him, but are stored by soldiers in the heavy camp. He thought about it and decided to go to Marij first, because only Marij, who is also a Persian, can clarify their origins, as well as the cultural meaning and value they represent.
Marigi gave him a suggestion: Why not set up a market, managed by mercenaries, trade with the Greeks, and maybe even collect taxes.
To collect taxes on land in other countries? ! Melsis thought this idea was crazy, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money, so he came to Daves with Mariji.
Build a market? Daves thinks this idea is a good idea. It can not only meet the needs of mercenaries, but also a place to expand the influence of mercenaries. It can also understand the market situation in Great Greece, train mercenary business teams, and collect intelligence and search for talents. ……Wait, from the perspective of the mercenary leader, Daves, who is rooted in Great Greece, thinks about the problem more comprehensively and deeply than Melses and the others.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought this idea was wonderful, and he nodded and said, "It's okay to build a bazaar. I will ask the soldiers to build a bazaar between the east side of the camp and the coast tomorrow. The bazaar is built Mariji is in charge, but we don’t have much time. Don’t build it too complicated, just use it. After it is completed, Mariji will be responsible for its management and operation..." Daves said this, Mariji looked on. excited.
Davers reminded him: "My requirement is-the market can be simple, but it must be orderly, to ensure fair transactions, and to be tidy, to expand the reputation of the market as much as possible, and attract more Merchants from other city-states also come here to trade. As for tax collection, don’t think about it. I don’t want to cause the Turyians to be unhappy, but you can think of other ways, such as letting slaves help to carry the goods. Provide cheap slurry...Wait, even if the market is prosperous in the future, you can still charge the shop fee."
Maliji nodded repeatedly and praised sincerely: "Chief, I didn't expect that your wisdom in business is also amazing!"
Davos smiled slightly, these ideas have long been rotten in the industrial age. But since he gave Mariji a promise, this guy has entered the state very quickly, really want to be a commercial officer?
Davers turned to Melses, who was a little depressed: "As for our dealings with the Greeks, you will be responsible for Melses."
"Ok! Okay!" Melses was happy again.
"You should not move the things the soldiers have stored in the heavy camp. Unless they are willing to sell, you have to sign an agreement with them. The money sold is in addition to a small handling fee... Well, you have to talk to the owner. Negotiate, but it is best not to exceed one fifty-fifth of the property sold, and return the rest to the owner without concealment and corruption! Mariji, you are responsible for supervision!" Daves solemnly instructed Melses .
"Davers, you are too eccentric! One-fifth is too little, at least one-twentieth! It’s not so easy for us to sell things. Standing in the sun for half a day costs How much tongue..." Melses grumbled aggrievedly.
"One twentieth is too much, at least not more than one thirty-fifth. That's it!" Daves didn't bother to argue with him: "Rather than earning soldiers' money, you might as well think about it. Ways to increase your trade projects and expand financial resources!"
Hearing this, Melses lost his thoughts, and soon there was a smile on his fat face: "The people in the camp are from some races in Persia and Armenia, and many people have also learned how to take care of the camp. This massage technique is definitely a novel experience for men in Great Greece, and we can raise the price..." Melsis's elated voice was interrupted by Kristia's cough.
Discussing skin and meat business in front of a woman, this guy... Daves said dumbfounded: "I can give you an idea. The doctors in our medical camp have a very high level of medical skills. And now there is nothing in the barracks. For serious injuries, idleness is also idleness. It is better to let them open a clinic in the built market and collect money for medical treatment. You can discuss the details with Christoya." There were originally eight doctors in the medical camp. Two of them left when they left Byzantium, and the six doctors headed by Helps were strongly attracted by the so-called mysterious medical knowledge inspired by Hades (in fact, the basic medical knowledge of the past life). ), continued to stay in the medical camp.
Hearing Christoya's name, Melses, who was also shining in his eyes, showed a bitter expression on his face.
Christoia didn’t embarrass Melsis. This fat guy looked like a bully, but Christia understood his importance to Daves, so she discussed with him seriously about opening a clinic and receiving consultations. How to allocate money and other matters, but made a request: I hope that Melses will not force women in the heavy camp to become the ***. The soldiers robbed them on the way back to Greece. A small part of them were slaves in the barracks, who needed to take care of the pack animals and manage their belongings. Only a dozen of them were real *** they were used to this...this method Make money."
"I'm afraid there are more than these guys." Mariji interjected.
