Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Through the management office, Tios contacted the four Turri ship owners (because he only brought a boat), under the guarantee of the administrator (the administrator assured him that the owner would do his best to help him transport the goods because They are all preparatory citizens of the Tua League. Once they have not fulfilled the agreement, the alliance will think that they have problems with their integrity and will immediately cancel their citizenship. So Tios assuredly negotiated with the shipowners about the price of chartering. After the chartering contract, he relaxed and went shopping.

Although the market in Turui is relatively simple, the management is strict, the order is very good, the environment is clean, and at least there is no smell. This is hard to come by.

There are a wide variety of goods in the market.

In the crowded market, Tios accidentally discovered that there was a large open space in one place. There was only one large house. The market patrols were still on the roadway around the house. Tios walked curiously and saw the sign outside the house: Christopher Bank.

In many cities in Greece, where there are banks in the bustling business, this is not new, but it is rare to see such a long queue in front of the bank. It is necessary to know that a bank is a loan in addition to currency exchange, and the interest rate of a loan is generally 20%. Usually, a businessman will borrow money from a bank unless he is eager to use the money, or there is no way to borrow money. Will not be near it. Moreover, the borrower thinks that it is necessary to pay so much interest, and the mood is inevitably heavy. It is rare that people here are so happy.

Therefore, Tios went to the courtesy before asking, only to know: the bank's loan interest is only 5%!

Tios thought that he had got it wrong. He knew that the trade in the Mediterranean region was developed. When the boat was down, more than 10% of the profits were easily obtained. Of course, the premise was that there were no accidents, such as pirates, storms, etc. Five percent of borrowing is equal to bank borrowing money! No wonder the customers in front of the queue are growing up!

Tios is also very excited, thinking about whether he is also lending a lot of money and buying a few more boats of wheat.

But when I asked at the counter, I realized that this bank only targets the Tua Union citizen loan.

This made him feel depressed.

On the way out of the market, he calculated that his five-ship wheat had arrived at Corinth due to low tariffs and relatively low wheat prices, and sold back to the city-state, at least one Tarant. Therefore, despite hearing the news of the Tua Union's promulgation of the Public Service Law and knowing that Clyston Bank's preferential treatment for this new alliance, his mood was slightly suppressed, he quickly became happy. The busy day and night made him feel tired and hungry. He decided to go to Amendola Lara according to the proposal of Nikoblos.

When he was out of the market, he was stopped and asked: "Are you going to Amendola Lara? Do you want to take a carriage?"

"Carriage?" Tios saw five or six double-marathon cars parked on the grass not far from the market. Most of the Greek mainland has rough and undulating roads that are not suitable for driving horse-drawn carriages. It is very expensive to raise horses and maintain horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, it is only a few wealthy and aristocratic entertainment tools, just like the Olympia Games. Like the project, the average viewer only has the right to watch. Although Tios has some personalities, he has never really been in a carriage since he was a child, so he asked very curiously: "Can you take a carriage to Amendo Lara?"

"Of course! You will know if you try it, it is fast and comfortable. It only takes an hour to get to the city of Amendola." The older driver recommended it.

"How much?" Tios had some heart.

"As long as two Opels." The driver saw hope in the business and smiled on his face.

The price of the two Opal is really not expensive, Tios decided to experience the feeling of riding a carriage, he sat on the bottom of the straw and the fur seat on the outside is very soft.

Mafsolikos waved the reins and controlled the carriage slowly.

The enemies of the next few drivers yelled: "Sorry, you have customers coming to visit!"

Sorikos laughed: "Haha, wait patiently, and you will soon be on your way." As the words were speaking, the carriage was on the road.

Solikos swayed the whip, the double horse began to jog, and the wheels began to accelerate.

Soon, the carriage began to run...

"How are you feeling?!" Sorikos yelled as he manipulated the reins.

"Very good! Very good--" Tios just opened his mouth, and the head-on wind rushed into his throat. An invisible force pushed him tightly against the back, and the scenery on both sides was rapidly regressing. He likes the feeling of high speed stimulation. Tios is not riding a horse, but riding is too bumpy. It takes a long time, and the inside of the **** and thigh can't stand it. It is so comfortable now.

Of course, he knows that this is mainly due to the road under his feet. It is so flat and solid, and it is very wide, at least six horses can be accommodated side by side. At the same time, he also noticed that there are still ditches and trees parallel to the road on both sides of the road. He carefully understood the intentions of the builders and could not help but shouted: "Your road repair is really good!"

"That is of course, this is the best road in Greece!" Sorikos's words made Tios not rebut, and indeed he has never seen such a good road in the city-state he traveled.

"I heard that this road was designed by our governor, Daphus! It is worthy of the descendants of Hades, omnipotent!" Sorikos said proudly.

The name of Daves was that Tios went to Turui to listen to people, but after only half a day, his ears were filled with the story of this man: What Davos led the mercenary, more The second defeated the Persian army... What Daves had won with less, annihilated the Lukania coalition, captured the Crotonian army... What Daves drafted and proposed, promulgated the Immigration Act... and so on.

For the rumors that Davers is a descendant of Hades, Tios disapproves: Spartans claim to be descendants of Hercules, and Athens claims that the city-state has been blessed by Athena, even Collins himself. He also said that he had a very close relationship with Poseidon and even founded the Isthmus Games for him... Many Greek city-states and rulers all claimed to have some close relationship with the gods...

It’s the things that Davers made that made Tios wonder: if these things are really from the hands of the consul, then it can be said that the Tua Union can have almost all the power of him today. It’s no wonder that the people of the Tua League mentioned that he is full of reverence. I heard that he is still very young. This is really a magical person! Will he be Perry Ande or Tuphi in the Tua League? (Perry Ander, one of the seven sages of ancient Greece, the ruler of Corinth in the seventh century AD, he made Collins the richest city-state in Greece. The Filipino was the deadly enemy of Sparta in the seventh century BC - Argo The king of the Scots once dominated the Peloponnese, and the Spartans shivered with fear in his fame.)

"Not only Darius is always concerned about ordinary people like us, but his wife is also a good person!" Sorikos continued to say loudly: "It is she who proposed to let the citizens who drive the carriages make horses on this road." The car business also provided us with a loan, otherwise the property like me was burned out in the fire of the Crotones, and there is money to afford the expensive carriage!"

"What is her name?!" Tios asked the wind and asked a possibility.

"The name of the governor's wife can also be asked casually!!" Sorikos pretended to be angry and said, then he laughed again: "But our adult does not care about these conservative city-state traditions, and even let his wife show up and open. A bank that provides low-interest loans to citizens, her name is the name of the bank -"

"Clithista Bank!" Tios blurted out ~www.novelmtl.com~ Confront, as long as you have been to the bank, you can see it, that is the most beautiful woman in our Tua League! "Sorrics praised sincerely: "I heard that she was pregnant recently. It has not appeared in the market for a while. They are both good people. I hope to have a healthy boy and become a good consul in the future." ! ”

"Do you mean to let their sons hereditary? Isn't it necessary to turn the regime of the Tua Union into a king?" Tios's question asked Sorikos to sneak, then he laughed: "I will casually talk about it. What are you doing so seriously?"

He raised his hand and took a whip flower in the air, and the horse that was trying to run in the middle of the avenue was scared and returned to the original road.

Sorikos rushed for a while and then said seriously: "You must know that the generals in the former Turai City Hall and the members of the council only know the debate and quarrel every day. Nothing is done. The road to transport the ore is so Oops, I have been arguing for many days, and I haven't seen any measures the City Hall has to change. Just like the life governor Daves ordered, it has built such a good road for more than three months. More importantly, once the war broke out, Not only the generals and the councils, but also the conferences held by our citizens only know that for their own interests, they vent their hatred and negate all the proposals that are against us. In the end, nothing has been done, and the enemy’s army has forced Going to the city..."

Sorikos sighed heavily and slammed his head. He seemed to want to throw away the painful memories of the past: "The former democracy was very free, but our Turifs have already tasted the city's broken family. Pain. The management of city-states should not be dictated by people who don’t understand anything, but should let the truly capable person carry out his power and govern the city-state according to his plan without interruption."
