CHAPTER XVI

When Davers finished speaking, all the doctors in the audience stood up, bowed to him, and then began to applaud, and applauded desperately, and the applause continued.

Words "wonderful" and "insightful" cannot describe Davers's speech, which has pushed the medical theories of this era to a more profound and expansive world, and if the doctors of the past were only groping their way forward in the night, then each of Davers's speeches has produced a beam of light that they can follow this light.

It is impossible to describe the shock and gratitude in the hearts of the doctors, and they can only express their emotions in this way, including Nick Stratus, although he is not even very clear about human anatomy, but he finally determines that the real mystery of medicine is here, in the Dionian Medical School, in Davers!

Davers bowed again and again.

The applause continued......

…………………………

At the end of the three-day medical exchange forum, some of the Gentile doctors left, and some of the Gentile doctors stayed on to continue their visits and studies, including Nick Stratus and Stasipus.

For several days, they worked as assistants at the Turiyi Hospital, learning how Dr. Dioonia was seeing and treating patients, and occasionally visiting them for surgery.

As for the systematic study of medical theories, human anatomy, etc., the Dionian Medical School has very strict requirements for this, and the students must be Ionian citizens, probationary citizens, or free citizens who have left their home state and applied for Dionian citizenship, and at the same time have passed the rigorous examination of the medical school before they can enter the medical school.

The radical Nick Stratus has a trait that once he agrees with something, he puts in a lot more enthusiasm than the average person. He had been conquered by Dionian medicine and wanted to stay here, but it was not easy for a citizen of Crotone to join Diony, and he had to go back and negotiate it.

Nick Stratus's attitude even influenced Stasipus, who also considered staying to study.

On this day, the two decided to go to Turii's pharmacy. After visiting the pharmacies in the city, I heard that there was a larger, more complete and more medicinal herb market in the port, so I decided to take a look.

Today's port of Turij is different from a few years ago, although it does not have the quality of the deep-water port of Crotone, the natural resilience of the port of Tarantum, and the geographical location of the port of Ligem, but it has become the largest port in Greater Greece.

The reason is simple: the Dionian city-state alliance has deservedly become the overlord of southern Italy, far superior in strength to other city-states. As the center of the alliance, Turii has the strong advantage of political position. How many freedmen wanted to flock to Turiyi and become Dionian citizens; How many emissaries and councillors of the great Greek city-states came to Turij to visit, ask for help, and consult with the Senate; How many merchants and tourists come here to experience the unique city-state style of Dionia, enjoy unique ball games, ceremonies, and even food and entertainment; Not to mention the 9-to-5 movement of the populace within the Dionian League to Turiyi...... The huge flow of people naturally created a huge demand, which could not be fully met by the Turii itself, so merchants who were adept at seizing business opportunities came from all directions with merchant ships laden with goods.

The port and market of Turii have been expanded over and over again, and now extend from the original estuary of the Krati River to the north near the Temple of Hera.

Nick Stratus and his party quickly felt the difficulty of walking after passing the Temple of Hera and entering the confines of the port market. Although Turij built several roads between the main city and the port market, and made it possible for vehicles and pedestrians to go their separate ways, the huge flow of people still caused traffic congestion. Walking in it, people rubbed shoulders with each other, and although it was still a warm spring, the three of Nick Stratus were already sweating.

At this moment, a patrol group walked by.

The clever Lycassus hurriedly followed them behind, and with a patrol in front of them, they were a little more relaxed.

The port of Turiy has actually developed into a large town, which is divided into two parts: one port and one market, separated by a stone wall guarded by guards. Cargo ships enter the harbor, dock at the docks, unload the goods, and the goods are transported directly to the market, either in warehouses or in stores for sale.

The market was strictly planned by Marigi, the Dionian merchant officer, into straight streets, lined with shops, warehouses, and workshops...... Moreover, the same type of goods or commodities are sold in one or more streets as far as possible, which is convenient for management and convenient for people to trade. The port market of Turij is home to several commercial streets or small markets (as well as several streets that form a sales area for the same goods) that are famous in Greater Greece and even in the whole of Southern Italy.

For example, the stone market, for the Dionian League, which is keen to build roads and temples, and has several stone mines in its territory, this industry is very prosperous, not only has a variety of quality marble, but also has more labor in this industry, and the price is relatively cheap.

And it is matched by the sculpture street, the statue sculpture of the temple, the memorial column of the square, and the stone monuments on both sides of the avenue...... It attracted and gave birth to a large number of carvers engaged in this industry, but because there has not yet been a single sculpture that can shake the whole of Greece, there has not yet been a master sculptor, and more of them produce low-end sculptures.

The arms market, also extremely famous. You know, the Dioonians conquered Greater Greece by force, and of course attached great importance to the production and sale of weapons, and the people did not hesitate to invest money in this area in order to obtain meritorious deeds, so the port market actually led to hundreds of large and small armor workshops and shops, half of which came from other Greek city-states outside the alliance, the most famous of which are two, one is the Legion Weapons Shop under the Disabled Soldiers' Council under the Ministry of War, and the other is the Theos Weapons Workshop.

There is also a market that is also very famous - the livestock market. Due to the fact that Lucania and Bruti, two major mountain races with predominantly animal husbandry, joined the Dionian Alliance, Dionya also has two plateaus and mountains with rich pasture resources, Lucania and Bruti. In addition, Christoia's restaurants are widely distributed in various cities of the Ionian Union, and most of its recipes are made from cattle, sheep and other livestock, which has given rise to a great demand for meat among the Dionians, and while gradually changing their diet, it has also prompted the two regions of Lucania and Bruti to raise a large number of cattle, sheep and other livestock.

The abundance of livestock from these two regions and the deliciousness of the meat were very popular with the Greeks of southern Italy who had tasted the cuisine of Christoia's restaurant. In fact, for a long time, Lucanian cattle were known for their docile temperament, strength and good endurance, and became the first choice for pack cattle in this region. At the same time, although the Bruti horse is not good at running, it is good at climbing mountains, hard-working, and is an excellent pack horse, and it is also quite marketable in Greater Greece. In recent years, under the guidance of the policy of the Senate, a large number of horses began to be bred in the Buruti area. It is important to know that most of the horses used in the Dionian carriage came from the livestock market of the Brutis in the port of Turiyi......

There is also a street that is unique to Dionya and quite famous in southern Italy - the ball market. Rugby and football were first played in the Ionian barracks, and later became popular throughout the Ionian League and League, and city matches were held every year. But the people are no longer satisfied with only one game a year, so at the suggestion of Davers, last year the Senate introduced a new law, allowing citizens of each city (please note, only citizens) to organize their own rugby or soccer teams, after reporting to the city hall, the city chief executive organizes rugby or soccer matches in each city, about every ten days to play a rugby, soccer match, a single round-robin, one game to score three points, one defeat to zero points, one point to draw, the team with the highest points becomes the city champion, They will be sent to Turiyi to compete in the South Italy Finals, which are held on September 9 each year after the Hades Celebrations, and the Football Finals, which are held on November 1 each year to celebrate the establishment of the league, to determine the overall champion of rugby or football for that year. The participating teams also include some city-states in the league, but some city-states have been invited but have never participated, such as Tarantum and Crotone.

As a result, the citizens of Dionya were mostly both contestants and spectators, and the arena was often full of spectators for each game, and the enthusiasm of the people for such games outweighed that they were the main form of entertainment. As the so-called investment of the whole people naturally gave birth to the popularity of this industry, from the piccolo in the mouth of the referee to the goal of the game, as long as it involves rugby, football game utensils and supplies are sold on this street. It also includes some other competitive sports supplies. The most surprising thing is that there are many famous players' goods shops on this street, and the popularity of the ball market will naturally give birth to some players with superb football skills, some of them shine in the competitions in various cities, and some even win the Dionya finals, which will naturally be sought after by the public and regarded as idols, so this kind of shop came into being. Statues of famous players of all sizes and sizes are available in a variety of materials, dolls, and sportswear with their names and numbers on them...... It can be seen that the prosperity of commerce and trade on this street.

Another street that is unique to the port market of Turiyi and famous in all of South Italy is the medicinal herb market that the three of Nick Stratus are going to visit at this moment.
