As soon as Tios finished speaking, Dikpolis continued: "Although the actions of Your Majesty and the Ministry of Commerce are a bit harsh on our Turii Chamber of Commerce, their fundamental purpose is to show the kingdom and show the people of other countries in the Mediterranean. We in Turii, promote the prosperity of Turii's commerce and trade.

In the long run, the prosperity and growth of Turiyi business is more conducive to the development of our Turiyi businessmen. This is a great thing. I think we should be happy and fully assist the Ministry of Commerce in promoting the business of this Games. Done! "

Sostatus looked at Dickpolis: Dickpolis offered to speak for him, in fact, he had already indicated to him that he was willing to restore friendship with him.

And the others at the banquet were also thoughtful after listening to Theos and Dickpolis.

Sostatus laughed and said loudly: "Everyone, after the business is over, let's not just stand still, come! Come! Hurry up and eat the food, this is the dish that I urge my chef to make carefully, and it's fast now. It's cold, don't waste it!"

………………………………………………

The banquet in the backyard hall had just started, and the banquet in the front yard living room, under the auspices of Steward Sostatus, had already been staggered and lively.

Hesklaus was already blushing and his ears were hot. Next to him was a Carthaginian merchant who was still a stranger, but at this moment he pulled him affectionately and kept saying, "You said just now that you brought the child to Turii too. Come on, how old is he?"

"Nine years old."

"Looks like you're going to let him go to school in Turii, right?"

"No, no, you're mistaken. I'm just taking my children to the games. The kingdom has also built schools in Larissa and Philae. I plan to send my son back to Thessaly to go to school next year."

"I advise you." The Carthaginian merchant didn't seem to hear Hesklaus's response, and continued with a burp of wine: "It's better to let the child go to school in Turii, it will be good for him whether he is doing business when he grows up in the future. , or going into politics will help a lot, after all, you Thessaly are now incorporated into Dionia, you are a citizen of Dioria, this is your luck..."

Hesklaus was greatly moved when he heard this.

At this time, a head suddenly appeared from behind him, which startled him, and it turned out that it was a merchant from Massilia (that is, Marseille) who had just met.

The businessman apparently heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "I heard that there are more than 10 Dionia schools in Turii?"

"Of course, you haven't seen how many people there are in Turii. It is said that it has more than 400,000 people, which is several times the population of our Carthage!" The Carthaginian merchant said with some sigh: "So where are one or two schools? Enough, I heard it's almost a block and a school now—"

The merchant of Massilia took the conversation with some excitement: "I heard that the school in the inner city of Turien is the best, and the children of His Majesty, the children of the elders, and the children of the important officials of the kingdom are all studying there, and I heard that they also recruit foreign students. Students, if our child can study in this school, it will definitely help his future development!"

"Don't have sweet dreams!" The Carthaginian merchant spat the grape seeds on the table and sneered: "There are children of the royal family and important officials of the kingdom studying in the inner city school, can the guard be strict! It is indeed also There are only two types of students who are recruited to the outside world. One is the children of the soldiers who died in the Turii area, and the other is the children of the racial leaders and city-state leaders who depended on the Kingdom of Dionia. Like you and me, there is no such thing as Possibly getting kids into that school...

However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t get into the inner city schools. These schools in the outer city are also very good. Some elders and the children of officials of the kingdom are also studying there. My oldest son studied in the Dongwai city school not far from here— "

"Do these schools accept children like us who are not citizens of Dionia?" Massilia businessman asked in surprise.

"Of course not,

But there are other ways—" The Carthaginian merchant showed a weird smile and pointed to the wine on the table: "I'll tell you after you finish three glasses. "

Without saying a word, the merchant of Massilia raised his glass and drank three drinks in a row.

Massilia, the only Greek colonial city-state established within the Gallic sphere of influence, except that in the early colonial period, it accepted the invitation of the Greek city-states such as Kumai in Campania to jointly defend against the northward expansion of Carthia at sea. The Ki people, who have since not been involved in any strife of powers on the Italian peninsula, have continued to develop.

Because it is close to the Tyrrhenian Sea, backed by the foothills of the Alps, located at the mouth of the Rhone, and next to another famous mountain pass that connects the Gaul region with Italy, the Massilia people built tall and strong city walls to let The Gauls with backward armament had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, Massilia used the convenience of her own sea and land routes to develop herself into a famous port for the Mediterranean trade in the Gaul region beyond the mountains.

Although they were harassed from time to time by the Gauls, the Massilia, who had benefited greatly from it, were satisfied with their detached status. It was not until Dionysus conquered Rome and became the hegemon of Italy that Massilia adapted to the situation. Allied with Dionia. To this day, the entire Western Mediterranean Sea, even the former overlord Carthage is attached to the Dionysian Holy Kingdom, not to mention that some Dionysian allies have volunteered to join the kingdom, but Massilia still maintains the former covenant Unchanged, the trade with Dionia is more frequent, but politically, it has always maintained a close distance.

But in fact, many Massilia merchants became more and more disturbed when they saw the growing national power of the Dionysian Kingdom, and repeatedly proposed at the council meeting "to establish closer diplomacy with the Dionysian Holy Kingdom." However, this proposal was never passed at the Citizens Assembly, because ordinary Massilia people are accustomed to this closed and isolated comfort and do not want this situation to change, so some Massilia businessmen can only find ways to make themselves The family's relationship with the kingdom of Dionia became closer to ensure the safety and development of the family, as the Massilia merchant did.

He slapped the empty wine glass on the dining table, and said, "Three... three cups are finished, you... you can say it!"

The Carthaginian merchant's eyes went straight, and he dared to sell it, and quickly said: "Uh... well, I say... this... Although Dionia has a law, only citizens of Dionia are allowed to enter the country. Children can only enter the Dionysian school, but it is not without loopholes.

You should know that many of the citizens of Dionia are refugees from the Eastern Mediterranean. They wandered alone in Dionia, and finally became full citizens and settled down permanently. However, after some citizens got married, they did not Child, just die on the battlefield..." The Carthaginian merchant smiled: "The adopted son and daughter of a citizen of Dionia is legally binding, if you can get the widow of a citizen who died in battle to agree to recognize your child as an adopted child, and Go to the local household registration office to register, then your child can enter the school as a future citizen of Dionia! Back then, Lord Sostatus used this method to help my child get into Turii's school..."

"Oh... that's what it is!" Mercilla's mind turned sharply when he heard this, thinking about how to ask Sostatus to help his children do the same.

"This method doesn't work now!" A heavy voice came from behind the Carthaginian merchant.

Hesklaus and the Malayan businessman immediately said respectfully: "Lord Kaunus!"

When the Carthaginian merchant turned his head, he saw Sostatus' housekeeper, Cornus, standing behind him, and quickly got up to say hello.

Konus was originally Kunogorata's confidant slave. He was freed many years ago and became a citizen of Dionia, but he was willing to continue to serve Kunogorata and later became Sosta. The right-hand man of Sostatus, the huge commercial sales network established by Sostatus was mainly implemented by him. Many downstream merchants deal with him more than Sostatus. The reason why he was able to preside over this banquet well and why the businessmen were willing to crowd around him.

At this moment, he looked at the Carthaginian merchant with deep eyes, which made the Carthaginian shiver, realizing that he had made a mistake.

Cornus quickly put on a smile and said loudly to the people around him: "The method he said worked 10 years ago, but after the reports of the Tulii tribunes, the Senate specially issued this. A decree, 'unless one of the biological parents is a Dionian citizen, he (she) is adopted by other Dionian citizens, can enjoy the rights of minor citizens of the kingdom.' So in today's Gentiles His child was adopted by the citizens of Dionia, and still can't get into the Dionysian school! But—"

Kaunus looked at the frustrated Massilia merchant and said seriously: "There are other ways for your children to study in schools in the kingdom. For example, in Capusa, Garaguso and other small populations. Towns, the kingdom also has schools and dispatched teachers in these towns. Due to the small number of students, it is actually a waste. If you apply to the Academic Affairs Department in Turii, you are willing to pay a high admission fee to let your children Going to schools in these towns is no problem at all."

"But...what's the point of letting children study in these remote places?" Massilia businessman seemed a little disappointed.

"First of all, even the teachers who teach in schools in remote towns in the current kingdom have all graduated from the Dionysian School or even the academy, passed the examination of the Ministry of Education, and after more than a year of professional training, they have obtained teacher certification. Only with qualifications can he be a school teacher, and his teaching ability is guaranteed.”
