Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"No! I have not said this before!" The businessman saw the judge's face suddenly changed and hurriedly refuted. Suddenly there was a roar of noise behind him: "Dare to discriminate against our Lukarias, don't want to live!"

"Izam is the warrior of our alliance. You dare to insult his wife! Judge, please be sure to punish this ghost!"

......

The businessman secretly complained that he had thought that this woman was a Luccayan female slave who was still worthy of the Peugeot. It was not asking for the price, it took too long, and when she was dizzy, she said those words but did not I thought of the wife of the Dionysian Union citizen. Actually, it was because he had just arrived here for a few days, because he did not understand the customs here, because most of the wife of other city-state citizens stayed at home, could go to the market to buy and sell things, and was a foreign woman, then it must be a female slave, accounting for some languages. It’s cheaper, even stroking it twice, no one cares. However, different from Dionia, it has many citizens who are Lukania women, and many Greek women of Dioria are married to Lucania's reserve citizens. These foreigners are not as many as Greeks. The cumbersome etiquette and openness of the work are naturally affecting and changing the conservative atmosphere of the original Greek citizens of Dionia. In addition, the awe-inspiring governor, Daphus, also allowed his wife to show up in public, even to open banks and restaurants in the market, which naturally further promoted the change of the customs of Dionia, so now I see Dai O in the market. The presence of a Nigerian citizen’s wife is a common occurrence.

"The defendant, the plaintiff said the facts?" Proksilaus asked, seeing the businessman immediately to open his mouth to speak, and he loudly reminded: "If you only discriminate against foreigners, you will pay at most fines and corporal punishment. But after the oath of God, Still lying, this is a crime of blasphemy, to be punished by cruel tongue! So you have to think clearly, then talk!"

The businessman heard the big shock, silenced for a long time, and his head burst out with cold sweat. He finally whispered: "She said... most of them are true... but... but I don’t know beforehand that discriminating against foreigners is also illegal!"

“Really?” Proksilaus looked serious: “When you rented a booth, you were not familiar with the regulations that Dimension must do in the market management office?”

"No..." The businessman wanted to deny it, and suddenly remembered the regulations of the Dionya Market Management Office: If you are not familiar with the rule, you can't rent a shop. Therefore, he can only nod: "Understood."

"In this case, you are breaking the law! First of all, you violate the law that 'Diaonia can't discriminate against foreigners'. You have to pay ten drachma fines and two sticks of corporal punishment, so that you can deepen your memory and don't commit any more! As for you Speaking plaintiffs in words, but not putting them into action, this... Do we have a bill in this area?” Plot Syros asked Flaucheon.

Frank Leone thought about it and shook his head.

"It seems that at the next meeting of the Senate, I have something to do." Proksilaus muttered, he thought about it, and then said: "About what you use the language to punish the plaintiff, I am Give this right to the plaintiff and let her make the decision."

The businessman looked at the plaintiff with a pleading look. The young Lucania woman did not quit, simply said: "That would punish him as the guide of the market management office and do five days of voluntary labor."

"Okay, that's it!" Proksilaus's proposal for the plaintiff was applauded: "The defendant, you can choose not to accept the 'five-day voluntary labor' given by the plaintiff, but you will be expelled from the league. You can never do business here!” Procrustus said with aggravated tone: “Do you think clearly, are you willing to accept this punishment?”

As a businessman, dignity is not important. What matters is whether or not he can make money. His pottery business in the Turui market has been booming for a few days. Of course, he does not want to be expelled from the league because of this small matter. Of course, he finally accepted the punishment.

The next dispute is exactly the opposite. It is a registered free-street vendor and a foreign businessman who is in conflict. This free civil insult and beating merchants, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, there is no controversy, and it can be directly ruled according to the market management regulations that violate the “no discrimination against foreign businessmen” and “the fight”, the free people are in the trial process. I have never admitted to beating people, and I continue to suggest to Prok Syros that he is the confidant of the veteran Polluxs, has been doing things for him, and hopes that the Fa-rectification will perfuse the matter.

The young and prosperous Procrustus couldn’t understand the Polisian, who often showed his birth in the Senate, and occasionally despised them, the non-Tuliyi veterans. At this moment, they seized the opportunity and would not let go. Loudly angered: "Bold defendants, dare to destroy the reputation of the adult of Pollux! You not only oppress the plaintiff, hurt the wounded, behave badly! Still have not admitted the facts, contrary to the vows made before, I sentenced you to sin, Implement it immediately!"

The free people were shocked and rushed to the mercy, while the onlookers shouted loudly for Procrustus.

In the end, the free man was reluctant to accept the torture of “pull tongue” and chose to beat the 40-bar equivalent penalty. He was beaten and pushed out of the court, and the writer recorded his actions even if he Eventually returning to health, the household registration office will also drive him out of Dionia.

In the market and in the port, there are some small disputes and conflicts. The judgment process is very fast, and no complicated legal procedures, lawyers and juries are needed...

Tios watched the court for a while and saw some mystery: Obviously this small court used practical actions to show the citizens of the Union, the slaves, the aliens, the Gentiles a fair position of the Daonian League, and to maintain all those who obey the law. The legitimate rights in the territory of Dionia, especially for businessmen like them who are in the north, are very touched.

Tios, these merchants are regarded as citizens of status in their own city-states. When doing business in other city-states, local citizens often out of jealousy and hold the psychology of “this Gentile wants to earn the money of the city-state”. Some hostile moves, while city-level executives tend to favor the citizens of the city (because elections require the support of citizens). In the Greek city-state, Athens has the best attitude towards the Gentiles who settled and do business in the state, because its super-developed trade and handicrafts need its open attitude to meet the technology, capital investment and employment brought by the Gentiles. Etc., it gives the foreign gang a considerable amount of power in law. In addition to the inability to own land and serve as a public official, laymen can even contract Athens' minerals, monopolize shipping, and so on.

The generosity of Athens is of course also in return for the goodwill of the Gentiles. In peacetime, they will make charitable donations, such as repairing temples, holding drama celebrations, and watching Athens citizens free of charge. When they were in distress in Athens, they also came forward like the citizens of Athens, acting as heavy infantry or buying weapons and equipment, even three-layer paddles and ships to the Athens government.

Now, Diaonia has a tendency to align with Athens, and even some aspects are more daring than Athens. Tios came here because the Dionysian Senate passed a new bill: allowing the renting of land between the Saraceno and Sisno rivers to foreign businessmen, as a handicraft land, lease For 20 years.

This news immediately caused a sensation among the Gentile merchants in the Turif market and quickly spread throughout Greece. Most of the businessmen who have been to Turui are optimistic about the business prospects of the Dionysian League, not to mention that Dionia has allowed Laos to join its alliance, so that any trader in the alliance can enter the price at a preferential price. Raos develops trade with Naples, Masilla, Gaul, Iberian Peninsula, Mauritania and other regions. Especially in Turui-Laos Avenue has begun construction, with the quality of the road built by Deonia, the completed road will make the transportation of goods between the two cities more convenient, and the fastest time is estimated to be two It will take a day to get to Raos from Turui, which is almost the same as the time required to take a cargo ship to the sea. Moreover, the risk of taking the sea is greater, because as long as you encounter pirates or storms, you may be able to destroy your efforts and build your life. At the same time, when the Strait of Messina was crossed, the tariffs collected by the two straits of Messina and Lijim, one south and one north, were not low, which would greatly reduce the profits earned.

When Tios went to Amendola Lara last time, he took the land~www.novelmtl.com~ although it was flat, but because it was hard (mostly gravel), it could not be used as agricultural land, so it was not treated as a share. The land was allocated to the Union citizens. Except for a small part of the land to be built into the military camp of Amendora, for the training of civic soldiers, most of the land has been idle. For Tios, such a barren land is equally valuable. He wants to auction the next plot and then open a weapons workshop.

After making money in the last trade, Tios became interested in this emerging alliance. He found that Dionia is a coalition that advocates force, otherwise it will not hold a triumphal style, giving the winning generals and soldiers such a great glory, so there will be no less war in the future, and the rapidly increasing number of Dionia Union citizens have a great demand for weapons. According to him, there is a large weapon shop in the port market of Turui. It is said that the alliance was opened for the soldiers of the soldiers who died in the war and to take care of the disabled soldiers. Most of the weapons and equipment sold were from the seized, at most repairs. There is basically no production of a complete set of heavy infantry equipment from zero to zero, nor does it have this ability, which makes Tios see the opportunity to make money.

The most famous commodity of Collins is the weapon. The weapons and equipment it produces are all famous in Greece. Tios has done this business before, has rich experience, and he can hire the highly skilled Corinthian blacksmith to establish in the alliance. The weapons workshop not only saves freight, but also facilitates the acquisition of raw materials, and the cost is lower, because Turui has copper mines and Lukaria and iron mines. And he can tailor the quality of armor and weapons for the citizens of the Alliance, or sell them to the Alliance in bulk, or even to the indigenous people (the Dionysian Union does not limit the output of weapons), this is a Dior Niaby buys and sells foods that are more profitable and more stable, so he can’t wait until he makes a decision.
