Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"I really admire the leader of Daves. He not only commands the battle, but also has a lot of ideas for doing business! He made a lot of valuable suggestions, such as at the entrance to the market, I was originally prepared to use two fully armed soldiers. Guarded, the leader said, 'This is not the case, it will scare the customers who buy and sell, we have to consider the customer's feelings,' so it becomes what you see, now it seems that the customers respond very well... haha... Yes, including these weighing machines is also his suggestion, there are still many such suggestions. The reason why this market can be so busy in just 20 days is mainly his credit! I think even if he is not good Mercenaries, with his talents, can certainly become a big businessman!" These words of Mariji are from the heart.

"Yeah, it's really unexpected." Burkes said with a sigh of relief, thinking about something.

He turned and walked to the market, and Mariji rushed to keep up and act as a guide.

As the crowds move forward, the first booth is of course the mercenary's own, so the area is large, and there are many strange objects and exquisite gold and silverware in different categories... stop here, watch, There are many people asking for price.

"Mersis!" Mariji screamed.

After the booth, the fat man who commanded the slaves to carry the goods looked back and immediately said with arrogance: "Marigi, are you coming to congratulate me?! I can sell a lot of goods today!"

Not waiting for Marji, he saw Burkes, his face immediately smiled: "Burkes, you come to buy things. Just, I have a good thing here, guess what?" He raised his hand, glittering, shining the human eye: it was a thin silver rope, with a small piece of thin gold flakes in the middle, forming an inverted triangle, and a silver rope at the top. ......

When Mariji’s eyes narrowed, he heard Melsie shouting: “Marigi, don’t talk!”

"What is this?" Moras asked curiously.

Melsis saw everyone curiously gathered around, posing a wretched smile, and said mysteriously: "This is the gift of the most beautiful love that Cyrus gave him. It is the best goldsmith of Persia. The little Gurus created a wonderful thing that can provide that fun! Guess, where is the little Cyrus's love will wear it?"

"Is it... below..." someone shouted indefinitely.

"Yes, it seems that you are very experienced!" Melsis said, surrounded by a burst of laughter.

"It is said that the little Cyrus loves to wear it every night, and a small Cyrus... um... when the little Cyrus died, his love was captured by the Persian king, and this thing was left behind. In the military camp, we were picked up by our soldiers.” Melsis held the golden chain and swayed in front of everyone: “You sniff... This may have the body of the little Cyrus!” I want to stay, but unfortunately I don't have a wife. Think about it, if you buy it home, you can feel the fun of the Persian royal family with your wife or lover!"

After listening to Burkes, there were some heartbeats.

A person next to me has shouted: "How much? I bought it!"

When Burkes saw it, he even knew that he was a businessman in the city of Silit.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. You see, how delicate this thing is made! And, these are all made of pure gold, and the weight is not light!" Melsis handed the gold chain with his hand and made a low "哗The sound of screaming: "The lowest price is... um... fifty Dallik gold coins."

"I have fifty-five gold coins, this thing belongs to me!" shouted the West Riding merchant.

"I have sixty gold coins!" one person shouted.

"Oh, I bought it first!"

"But I can pay more than you!"

"Sixty-five Dalik gold coins!"

......

Mariji did not expect that Mercy would make the living utensils that the Persian nobles rarely see as royal things, and they were so profitable. However, he did not want to remind Melsisch, if you let Clithista hear about this, I am afraid it will not have a good impression on him.

Seeing that Burkes crowded out the crowd, he was busy keeping up.

"I see that there are other city-state merchants here to buy and sell," Burkes said.

"There are a lot of them. Tarantum, Silitine, Coulenania, Crotone and other city-states."

When he heard Crotone, Burkes' eyelids jumped.

At this time, Moras pointed to the dozens of strong men in front and said: "These people are soldiers of your barracks."

Mariji looked at it and replied: "Probably a warrior next to a mercenary camp."

"I think there are a lot of soldiers in this market to buy things. It seems that your soldiers are very rich," Burkes joked.

Mariji perfunctorily smiled: "The mercenary, after today, I don't even know if there is tomorrow. If you have money, you must enjoy it."

When Burkes heard it, he looked slightly and sighed: "Yes, it is not easy to live in this troubled world."

Marigi did not speak. In fact, the soldiers of the Dafos military camp are not such a state of mind. Davers inherited and carried forward the practice of Menon, and he strengthened the role of the heavy camp. During the war, the soldiers handed over most of their belongings to the 辎 heavy camp, and even wrote on the registration form of the 辎 heavy camp to find out who will inherit the property in the event of misfortune. So that after his death, he can hand over his relics to the heirs... and so on. And when the soldiers are in desperate need of money and the money is not enough, he can borrow from the mercenary leader Davers, and as long as the requirements are reasonable, the heavy-duty Melsis will deduct the arrears after borrowing money from the monthly salary. And there is no interest... The military camp's practices not only enable the soldiers to reduce their worries, but also reduce their gambling, usury, and squandering.

Marji said that most of the soldiers who squandered money in the market were not the Dafoss military camp, and the number of soldiers who went out of the camp every day was limited. There was only two places in a small team. They must return to the camp at the time, otherwise they would Take military law.

Mariji witnessed with his own eyes: How many times Daves had tried to change the army, how many times he had been accused, and even almost disbanded the army, but he did not give in, and eventually he came over. Now these soldiers can act according to military regulations, most of the time is not in the training ground, or in the construction of camp facilities, or to go to the camp to see how much their money has increased. From their scorching eyes, they can feel that this is not an ordinary mercenary~www.novelmtl.com~Marigi has seen the Spartan army led by Crisopus, which is a group of disciplines. Strict killing machine, but in addition to fighting, lack of passion for life. He also saw the army of Persia, despite its large number, but the discipline was scattered and lacked faith, especially the servant army. And this army of Daves not only has the bravery and discipline of the Spartans, but also has the belief of fighting for a better life, let alone they have a magical commander. If Daves is not two thousand people, but 20,000 or 30,000, what will happen? This wonderful idea is one of the reasons that attracted Mariji to stay...

"I found out that you have something to sell in this market!" Burkes's voice interrupted Marji's thoughts.

"There is a blacksmith shop!"

"That is just a small shop to take orders. Turui does not let us into the city, but our weapons must always be repaired and purchased." Marji argued.

"Then buy this clay pot?"

"We can't use our hands to drink boiled soup."

"Clothing shop?"

"The soldiers' clothes have not been replaced for half a year. They can't always wear armor when they don't fight."

"What about this stone shop?"

"Our camp cannot use trees, and the key location is still solid with stones."

"This boat shop?! Don't tell me, you mercenary has to build a fleet!" Burkes's face was angry and shouted: "You are robbery! You have robbed the market in Turui. Stealing the wealth of Turui!"

Marigi bowed his head and whispered: "There is not much to buy or sell goods -"
