Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Since the two most important Turai businessmen have chosen comity, Sostatus no longer quits. When he stood up, other merchants stopped whispering, with respect on his face, and listening to him with concentration. This kind of respect is not only because of his background, but also because of his own ability, although his age is the most among these businessmen. young.

"You, I will make a long story short, so as not to delay the time for everyone to earn money." Justatus just spoke and laughed around.

“After we spent a lot of money on the grain and transported it to the port, my Majesty summoned me and thanked us for the generous donation. He also said that because of this grain, he also had the opportunity to personally lead. The army went to Rome in central Italy, and he hoped that our Tuliers who donated food could follow his army -"

"What?! We have donated so much food, let us go out and continue to provide military supplies for the army!" Wine merchant Kalmandes did not wait for Sostatus to finish, shouted dissatisfied.

"Shut up, Kalmandes!" Sostatus stared at him and warned, "Whether you are stupid or for other reasons, don't say anything to insult the great King Davers, otherwise Get out of here!"

"Yes, the great King Davers does not allow it!" Tios said loudly on the side, drawing the response of everyone.

Most of the merchants in the Kingdom of Dionia have great respect for King Davers, not only because the bank established by his wife, Christovia, has greatly promoted the business of the kingdom, and the new business it invented. The management model and the process of fine division of labor in the workshop are an unprecedented innovation for the business of Dionya, so some businessmen even think that Davers is not only a descendant of Hades, but also a favor of Hermes.

"Kalmandes did not disrespect Dafus, he was just worried about making an endless donation for the army's expedition." Shipbuilder Mickris defended his friend.

Mikris is the cousin of Enanilus, the son of Orpheus, both of whom are the famous families of the original Tuli, with in-laws and close relationships. At the beginning of the case of Polksis, En Anilus and Orpheus were imprisoned, but their family and industry were not affected too much, but their political status plummeted, and it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable. . In fact, both Enalus and Orpheus were released after a few years of imprisonment, but because of the scandal, for the family, they are no longer suitable for appearance.

"It seems that you are really stupid!" The slave trader Sebbanus stood up. He was the one who had urged Sostatus to talk.

The businessman grows five big and three thick, and speaks and loves others, but everyone is still willing to be close to him because he always provides satisfactory slaves. The great demand of slaves in the Kingdom of Dionia makes it rich in slave sources. Sebbanus earned a lot of money.

At this moment, he sneered out loudly, "Don't you understand? This is the reward that Daveus has given for the food we donated! Since the establishment of Dionia, when does the army need to be followed by our merchants?! Never before Yes, and now! This means that the captives captured by the powerful Wang Tuan can be obtained in the best price in time! The spoils obtained by the army can also be obtained at the most favorable price! Towns, we can get shops at preferential prices, give priority to the market!..."

The passionate words of Sebbanus said that everyone’s eyes were shining, and some people even excitedly shouted “Daves’s victory!”

Kalmandes couldn't help but whispered, "Don't be too happy, this time the trip will not necessarily win."

But it was just heard by the wool textile merchant, Furasias.

Forrasias was originally a cloth merchant from Euboea. After arriving in Turai, he found that the wool of Dionia was not only of superior quality, but also of low price and high output (because of Lucania and cloth). Two excellent pastures in the Ruti area), so he chose to settle down, become a Diaonian citizen, began to change wool textiles, borrowed from the Christovia bank, abandoned the traditional model of family workshops, and conducted large workshops. The fine division of labor management, and soon his garment factory expanded rapidly. The wool rugs, woolen robes and wool tunics were popular among the people of Daonia and exported to other inland areas. The city state, which made him a big businessman.

So after hearing the words of Kalmandes, he immediately retorted, "Under the leadership of Daveus, when our army defeated! Looking forward to the defeat of the Kings is not a attitude that a Diaonian citizen should have. !"

In the face of dissatisfaction from other people, Kalmandes hurriedly explained, "I... I hope the army is not too careless, because I heard that...I heard that Rome is a very powerful city-state..."

"I heard that the army that went to Rome this time had a total of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth army, and the first and second cavalry corps!" Sostatus played Breaking his words, he said aloud, "This is a army of nearly 60,000 people! You, I remember even the original Crotone battle and the later Brindisi battle (that is, the conquest of Dave in Daves) In the wars in the Asian region, the battle with the Maple Alliance Army has never been dispatched so many soldiers! Even if Rome is strong, how can it withstand the strength of our Dionia army!"

"Sostatus is right, this will be another big victory! No wonder Sebourne is so excited, you already know the news, this time you will get a lot of cheap Latin slaves. And then make a big profit! What are you still hesitating?!..." With the help of Dick Boris, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became buzzing.

Merchants have expressed their desire to personally follow the army of King Davers to Latin, opening up new trade bases for central industries in central Italy.

In the noisy vocals, one of the questions of Forrasia made everyone's eyes cast again on the "President of Sotatus. Is it only the merchants of our Turif that follow the army to Latin?"

"Of course not." Sostatus's face showed some helplessness. "It is also beneficial to Jim's merchants... because they also donated a lot of food to the kingdom without compensation."

"Oh..." everyone sighed with annoyance.

At this time, Tios said, "You don't have to worry. The Latin region is vast and there are many city-states. Even if there are more Li Jim merchants, there are still enough profits for us to earn. And the Li Jim merchants are very different from us. Most of their merchants are engaged in transshipment trade and warehousing hotel services (this is due to the poor geography of Lijim, the narrow geographical area, and the special geographical location of the most important trade routes in the Mediterranean), and we rely on real goods. To make a profit, there is not much conflict of interest between the two sides. On the contrary, it can strengthen cooperation..."

"Tius said that it makes sense. I heard that the city-states in the Latin region rely on the economic backwardness and trade slump, and the ports are small and poor, so they can be handed over to the Liji people who are the most operating ports to expand and manage. The men and slaves can also live in their hotel, and they are responsible for the delivery, which saves a lot of trouble..." The words of Sebonus dissipated the haze on the faces of the merchants.

In fact, the participation of Lijim merchants does not have much impact on most of the Tuliers, but there are still competitions for a small number of people, such as the shipping and transshipment of the fleet and the existence of the main business of Sostatus. Direct competition.

However, Sostatus is very ambitious and confident, and he has actually targeted the Lijim merchants' fleet transshipment trade. He wants to expand and upgrade his fleet by digging people and acquisitions. The marketing channel is just that Li Jim is a free city. The Li Jim merchant is a piece of iron. It is not close. Now the city has been fully integrated into the kingdom, and this opportunity for expedition is convenient for him to approach the Lijim businessman~www.novelmtl. Com~ He believes that there will be great gains.

But for the shipbuilder Mickris, the addition of Lijim merchants will be a big pressure, because he is facing the competition of King Daves's in-laws, Alcidadas.

When the cousin of the Mickeys, Enanilus, served as the commander of the Dionysian Navy, the shipyard of Alcidadas settled in Turui at the invitation of Daves, because of the poor management of En Anilus. The quality of the warships and ordinary ships produced by the family shipyards has declined, so they have been robbed by the shipyard of Alciidas, and after that, his downfall has made the ship of the family shipyard more The craftsmen and the workers were heartbroken and the results were dug up by competitors.

When Mickris took over, the shipyard’s benefits were not as good as before. Fortunately, he made up his mind, made strict management of the shipyard, and actively improved the technology, which greatly improved the quality of the ship and saved some shipbuilding shares. But it is far from being able to compete with the shipyard of Alciidas. At this time, the Ministry of Military Affairs also began to give Mickris an order to build a warship, and told him straightforwardly that this was the king's will. In this way, others believe that the family of Enanilus has been forgiven by King Daphus and has begun to take the initiative to contact Mickeys, thus increasing the sales of its manufactured vessels, so that this has The family of decades of shipbuilding history has revived.
