Kaunus looked at the Massilla businessman and said seriously: “Secondly, the teaching content of all schools in the kingdom is the same now. There are fixed teaching materials for the three learning stages of junior, middle and senior. What did the children in towns learn less;

The most important thing is that when your child enrolls in school, he can apply to the Kingdom to become a Dionian citizen. Even if he does not pay taxes to the Kingdom, as long as he has completed his studies and has excellent grades, there is no violation of the law. Criminal behavior, then all his time in school will be included in the number of years of'becoming a Dionian citizen'.

In this way, he only needs to live in the kingdom and pay taxes for a few years after graduation to successfully become an official citizen of Dionia. Since he has studied and lived in Dionia since he was a child, he has fully adapted to the laws of the kingdom. The French customs can be smoothly integrated into the Kingdom of Dionian. "

After listening to this, the Massilla businessman immediately showed joy. He thought this method was completely tailored for himself.

"I haven't heard of this law before. Was it enacted this year?" Someone questioned Kaunus, so he asked tactfully.

"You guessed it right, it was indeed proposed and revised at the Kingdom Assembly at the beginning of the year. It was officially announced last month." Kaunus looked at everyone and reminded with a smile: "So if you have The child is willing to take this road, and now it’s time to catch up!"

Sure enough, some people had active discussions on this matter, but Kaunus introduced Hesklaus to some of the allied businessmen who had cooperated with Sostatus in the early days. Under his guidance, everyone had a very happy conversation.

Half an hour later, Sostatus came to the banquet.

He first apologized to everyone, and then expressed his sincere thanks to all the businessmen present for their help during this period. Then he focused on the upcoming sports meeting and hoped that they would all actively participate and don’t miss it. Business opportunities, and he will try his best to help them.

The banquet in the front yard has come to a climax, clinking glasses and laughter continue until late at night...

Originally, Sostatus wanted Hesklaus, who was a little drunk, to stay at home, but Hesklaus considered that he would rush back to Athens early tomorrow morning, so he politely declined.

Because the pottery shop of Hesklaus is far away, and there is a patrol team late at night, Sostatus is not relieved and asks Hesklaus and his son to leave in their own sedan chair.

Lirias, who was originally reluctant to come to the banquet, was very reluctant to leave with his father at this time, so he kept complaining in the sedan chair.

Hesklaus half-leaning on the seat, looking at his little-tempered son, and remembering the few Dionian merchants he met at the banquet: They have worked with Sostatus for far longer than himself. He has strong financial resources and is more familiar with the market of the Kingdom of Dionian, but he is full of envy for himself, just because he is from Thessaly and fortunately became a citizen of Dionian.

Thinking of their efforts for the children, Hesklaus felt deeply that he should also make plans for Lirias’s future. He asked softly: "Son, Dad has an urgent matter tomorrow. When I return to Athens, I won’t be back here for about 20 days to watch the sports meeting. During this time, I want you to stay at Uncle Sostatus temporarily. Can you please?"

Liriaston became happy when he said: "Okay! Okay! Dad, do you know? Brother Chris said that he would take me to the Turiyi Zoo! He said that there are terrible beasts and strange things in there. Weird animals..."

Hesklaus smiled as his son kept talking, but he was thinking back to the advice Kaunus gave him at the banquet: Galagoso is a small mountain town not far from the Turíy region. However, due to the small population (the most conservative and traditional tribe of Lucania once lived here, but because it is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the kingdom with Turri Gulf as the center, it has been affected by it for decades, many The Galagosos are no longer willing to be poor, and they have migrated out one after another in order to have a better life), it is easy to get permission from the Ministry of Education to let their children go there to study. When the child graduates in the future, whether in business or in politics, he will have an advantage over his peers in Thessaly.

Hesklaus secretly made up his mind: When the games are over, he will ask Kaunus to help him run this matter!

…………………………………………………………

In the early morning of the second day, Lirias was sent to Sostatus House.

It turns out that Sosiklis didn’t just talk about it casually last night. He really took Lirias to the zoo. Of course, there were several other businessmen’s children and Sostatus Mansion with him. Servant.

Considering that there are continuous influx of foreign tourists into Turiyi during this period, the population of Turiyi and its surroundings has become denser. In order to reach the destination faster, Sosiklis chose to take the water route.

They came to the dock along the river and hired a passenger boat.

The passenger ship erected its sails, slid its wooden oars, and flowed upwards, crossing three large stone bridges across the Krati River, entering the Koseni River, a tributary of the Krati River, and finally at the south bank of the river delta. Landed.

Actually, the inland river traffic is also very busy. It took more than an hour before they set foot on the road leading to the mountains on the south side of the delta.

This road to the mountains has been rebuilt and upgraded many times: during the Turiyi city-state, this road was built because copper and quarry were discovered one after another in the mountains, but at that time it was A dirt road is often crushed by heavy trailers, and it is even more difficult to navigate when it rains. After the establishment of Dionia, in order to improve the efficiency of ore transportation, it was converted into a stone road; but it was really converted into a stone road. The top avenue in the kingdom was still after the zoo was established. More and more tourists came to visit the zoo. Pedestrians and ore trucks were mixed on the same road, which was crowded and dangerous. Accidents occurred from time to time. The hall had to expand the road into a boulevard again. In this way, the road became wider, and pedestrians walked on the sidewalk and the main road by trucks, without interfering with each other, and traffic became smoother.

The establishment of the Turíy Zoo is nothing new in the entire Mediterranean. The Persian royal family built a royal garden in Babylon very early. There are not only all kinds of rare and exotic animals, but also all kinds of precious plants. The former King Xerxes (the one who suffered a terrible defeat in the Battle of Salamis) was An outstanding gardener. In Memphis, Egypt, the pharaoh built a garden in the backyard of his palace, which was beautiful and beautiful. Various rare and exotic animals were kept in it for him and his concubines to watch. But like the Kingdom of Dionia, opening the entire zoo to ordinary people is truly unprecedented.

The Greeks like to travel, and the wealthy Dionian citizens do the same, but no matter how bold they are, it is impossible to risk their lives to explore the mysterious animals hidden in deep mountains, dense forests, and large rivers, but Turri Zoo But it can completely satisfy their curiosity, and they can even see the appearance of monsters that have appeared in myths and legends, such as: the skinton shot to death by Apollo (that is, a big python), who fought with Hercules The lion...

Not to mention the attraction of the zoo to children, plus its cheaper tickets, so since its establishment, it has been widely spread among the people of the kingdom, and even citizens of allied states have been attracted, every day An endless stream of tourists come to visit, making it one of the most famous tourist attractions in Turii.

Although there are a lot of visitors to the zoo in normal times, it is extremely rare that the sidewalk is full of people and it is difficult to walk. This is obviously because the sports meeting is about to be held, which has led to a sharp increase in tourists.

Sosicris cried secretly, he really didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the zoo was, there was already a long line at the door, and countless tourists were waiting anxiously for the money to enter the park under the scorching sun.

There are people who neither want to line up nor leave, so they yelled in the crowd: "Did the owner of this zoo's head have been struck by lightning? Deliberately teasing us tourists who have traveled all the way! My neighbors still Brag to me how good this place is, shit!..."

"Hi! Hi!" Someone next to him patted the speaker's shoulder dissatisfiedly: "Are you not a Dionian citizen? Don't you know that the director of this zoo is the daughter of His Majesty King Davers—— Princess Aivia! If you curse a few more words and let the people of Tury hear it, it will beat you so hard that even your parents can't recognize you!"

The man was shocked, and he quickly shut his mouth. When he saw a few soldiers patrolling ahead, he felt even more guilty and slipped away quietly.

Sosicles didn't bother to watch these farce. He asked Lirias and the others to wait and walk along the long line by himself, which actually made him see an acquaintance at the front of the team.

"Brother Pekestas! Brother Stas!..." he shouted happily while waving his hand.

The young man named Pekestas heard the shout, turned his head quickly, and then said in surprise: "Chris, why are you here?!"

"My dad asked me to take some of his business partner's children to the zoo, how about you?"

"Similar to you, several Sesali officials brought their families to Turei to watch the sports meeting. My father arranged them to live in my house and let me take care of the reception. Today I brought them to the zoo. I didn’t expect so many people. !"

"I knew this was the case, I should have asked you to help me take care of these children."

"If your kid wants to be lazy, you can't do it. Be careful. I'll go back and file a complaint with Uncle." Pekestas first made a joke, and then whispered: "Today's situation is not so good! Maybe it's Princess Ivia. There are too many tourists coming, for fear of terrifying the animals, so I posted a notice at the door, "Only 1,000 people are allowed to enter at a time, and after some of them are out of the park, people will be allowed in." A group of people have already entered. Now, I guess we won’t be able to go in until the afternoon."

"Have to wait so long?! How can those kids stand it!" Sosiklis turned to look at Lirias and the others, who were standing next to him, looking around. He rolled his eyes and whispered: "Brother, in Waiting here is no good, I will think of a way."

When Pekestas heard him say this, he knew what he wanted to do, and immediately grabbed him, and whispered: "Don't go! I know Ivia, she won't agree."
