While Mikris and his people are full of gratitude to Davers, they also analyze why Davers would lend a hand: in addition to showing that this king treats all the people of Dionya equally, and has no intention of deliberately excluding the citizens of the original Turiyi, it may also have something to do with the fact that Lijim is only a free city in Dionia, even if Alcibidas's sister Agnes is the princess of Dionia, but Lijim is not fully integrated into the kingdom of Dionia, and it is impossible for the shrewd King Davers to make such a mistake, Let the Lijim completely occupy most of the shipbuilding industry of the Dionian Kingdom, and even monopolize the manufacture of warships for the security of the kingdom's coast. Because even the order for the weapons and armor needed by the legion was not only given to Theos alone, but also to several weapons manufacturers.

After figuring this out, Mikreis took the initiative to work with the Ministry of Military Affairs to improve the warships they built, and the fast three-layer oars warships used by the Navy were the first to be built by their shipyard.

But now Lijim is also fully incorporated into Dionia...... Mikryth had a headache when he thought about it. But he soon regained his spirits, for according to his observations over the years, King Davos had acted fairly and had not been too favoritist just because Alcibidas was his relative, and that he had a good relationship with the Ministry of War over the years, and he believed that he would be treated fairly by King Davers in the Latium region.

The big deal is fair play! Mikris was not afraid of this, with the advantage that he was a citizen of Dioonia and a native of Turiyi, he had a lot of cooperation with the Dionian Academy, and he often provided the ground and conditions for experiments with inspired scholars, and some of the things they invented also helped him improve the technology and efficiency of shipbuilding, and also built some special new ships, such as the old fast three-layer oared warship, and the iron ship that is now being tested......

Then the servant came in and reported to Sostatus: "Master, Agumus has arrived. ”

"Invite him in!" Sostatus hurriedly said.

Everyone also hurriedly turned their eyes to the outside of the hall.

"Guys, I'm sorry I'm late!" With this rough and slightly stiff Greek accent, a tall, strong middle-aged man strode into the hall.

Agumus, formerly known as Agum, a native of Bruti, was originally engaged in the trade of medicinal herbs, because after Bruti was incorporated into the Dionian Alliance, his tribe entrusted him to sell the herbs excavated from the Cosenza Plateau to the Turiyi market in exchange for food and daily necessities urgently needed by the tribe. Through his integrity and ingenuity, as well as his cooperation with the Dionian Medical College, and through his tireless efforts to develop a commercial channel, he has now settled in Turri, and has become the largest medicinal herb merchant in the Dionian Kingdom, and he has also changed his name to Agumus to show that he is fully integrated into the main culture of the kingdom.

"No need to apologize, Agumus, you didn't arrive on time today, we were thinking that you must have something important to do and couldn't get out of it for a while."

"That's right!" The others also took the initiative to excuse him, after all, in previous meetings, Agumus had always arrived early.

"No matter what the reason, being late is being late, and I will hold the banquet tonight to apologize to everyone!" Agumus said dryly.

"Agumus, no one is fighting with you, and you will have to pay for tonight's banquet!" Cyberus said loudly, and the crowd laughed.

As an alien, the reason why Agumus was able to integrate into the circle of the Turriyi Chamber of Commerce was because of his boldness and helpfulness. The businessman himself or a relative is sick, as long as he knows about it, he can always quickly send good and fresh medicinal materials according to the doctor's prescription, so he is very popular.

"I've been looking forward to throwing another party for everyone." Agumus smiled and said, "The reason why I am late is because Lord Alpunes of the Ministry of War has approached me and hopes that I can provide a sufficient supply of medicinal materials for the army on the expedition north. ”

"Now that you already know, it saves me the trouble of repeating it again." Sostatus laughed.

"Agumus, you are good at making medicinal herbs! With the level of medical skills in our kingdom, when your medicinal materials reach Lijim, there is no other medicinal herb merchant who can compete with you! Sebonus exclaimed enviously.

"There's no competition, but no one buys either." Agumus shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "I'm afraid it will take time for the people there to be treated by Dr. Dioonia and take the medicine they prescribed, I'm afraid it will take time to develop ......."

While everyone was talking, the slave came in again and whispered a few words in Sostatus' ear, and Sostatus frowned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Inipios is here!" ”

"Inipiath is always late, and I don't know how he became a famous stone merchant in Turiyi?!" Cyberus said dissatisfied.

"It wasn't because his family had been engaged in stone mining and carving for a long time, and that there were many experienced stonemasons and skilled carvers, and that he had easily amassed a lot of wealth by taking advantage of the rapid expansion of the kingdom and the vigorous construction of public works in various cities, otherwise it would have been up to him to ......," said someone disdainfully.

As the president, Sostatus was not easy to judge the other members of the Chamber of Commerce at will, so he diverted the topic and said in an accentuated tone: "Inipios is also following Leoklat! ”

"Why is he here?!" Dick Polis looked surprised.

"I'm afraid it's for the sake of us going out with Your Majesty." Theos replied uncertainly.

"This is the reward that His Majesty Davos has given to us Turriyi merchants, and it is simply delusional that their Crotone merchants want to get benefits without any contribution to the kingdom!" Forassias said angrily.

His words also aroused the indignation of other businessmen.

Mikris asked suspiciously, "This matter should be relatively secret, how did he know about it?" ”

"It must have been Inippias who told him!" Sebernus accused.

"Inipias doesn't know what we're going to discuss today." Calmandes defended the stone merchant because they were all old Turiyi.

"Secret?! So how did Agumus know?! Sebonus retorted.

"In any case, today is an important meeting of our Chamber of Commerce here, and it is not suitable for an outsider to participate." Dickpolis looked at Sostatus and suggested earnestly.

Sostatus nodded.

………………………………………

"I'm so sorry! My host said that he is discussing something very important with his guests right now, and he has no time to meet with you today. Outside the mansion of Sostatus, his servant spoke polite words, but his face was a look of rejection.

When Inipios heard this, he immediately shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It seems that they don't want to see you at this time, and there is nothing I can do." ”

Leoklat didn't show much frustration, he said calmly, "As for the stone and statue you want to supply the Crotone Arena built with the donation of our Chamber of Commerce, my promise is still valid. ”

Inipias's face beamed.

Leoklat pressed the reluctance in his heart and turned to leave.

As the president of the Clotone Chamber of Commerce, Leoklat was well aware of the great business opportunities that King Davos would offer by allowing the merchants to follow the army into the Latin region, but it was clear that the Turriyi merchants were not willing to share with the others, but ...... Since the Turriyi merchants were able to obtain such an opportunity by donating food, the Crotone Chamber of Commerce could do the same......

Thinking of this, Leokrat stopped, he glanced back at Sostatus's mansion, and thought of another key problem: the overall financial resources of the merchants of Crotone, who had suffered the destruction of the city, were far from being comparable to the Turriyi Chamber of Commerce, which was in the center of the kingdom, and they were probably not able to donate such a large amount of food to the kingdom, perhaps ...... Maybe you should contact the Cilitin Chamber of Commerce and the Trina Chamber of Commerce...... Co-raise a much larger amount of food than the Turriyi Chamber of Commerce and get permission to travel to the Latin area! However, this must be done immediately, because the day of the army's march is probably not far off! ……

Thinking of this, Leoklat became anxious and actually ran......

…………………………………

As Davers's herald and intelligence director, Aristilas can be said to be Davers's henchman, so that many high-ranking senators dare not underestimate him, but he usually lives a low-key life, and the mansion he lives in is not large, no different from the mansion of ordinary citizens: a square courtyard, with a pool and garden in the center, the main building sits south and faces north, on one side is the bungalow where the slaves live, on one side is the study and living room of Aristiras, and on the south is the courtyard gate...... Very plain.

The only thing worth mentioning is that this courtyard is located at the southern foot of the King's Hill, which not only allows him to rush to the palace or the king's palace in a very short time, and report important information to Davers in a timely manner, but also has palace guards patrolling this area continuously throughout the day, which is a great guarantee of safety.

But Aristiras's younger brother Antrapolis obviously didn't think so: "Big brother, the place you live in is too shabby, let others see it, they can't believe that this is the place where the important ministers of the kingdom live, you don't need to be wronged like this!" ”

"I'm just a court herald, not a royal minister, why do I engage in such luxury. Besides, if you are tired of living here, you can also go to the villa to live for a while. Aristias said disapprovingly.
