Chapter 16 Turii Port Market
After Davos's speech, the doctors in the audience all stood up, bowed to him together, and then began to applaud, applauding desperately, and the applause continued.
The words "wonderful" and "innovative" cannot describe this speech by Davos. He has pushed the medical theory of this era to a deeper and broader world. If the previous doctors were only in the Groping forward in the dark, every speech of Davos produced a beam of light, allowing them to follow this beam of light.
Words can no longer describe the shock and gratitude in the hearts of the doctors. They can only express their emotions in this way, including Nick Stratus. Although he does not even know the anatomy of the human body very well, he finally The real magic of determining medicine is here, in the Dionysian School of Medicine, in Davos!
Davos bowed again and again and again.
The applause continues...
……………………
The three-day medical exchange forum finally came to an end. Some foreign doctors left, some foreign doctors applied to stay and continued to visit and study, including Nick Stratus and Stacypus.
For several days, they worked as assistants at the Turii Hospital, learning how Dr. Dionysus saw and treating patients, and occasionally visited them for operations.
As for the systematic study of medical theory, human anatomy, etc., the Dionysian Medical College has strict requirements for this. Students must be Dionysian citizens, pre-citizens, or seceded from the mother state and apply for Dionysian citizenship. The free people who have passed the strict examination of the medical school can enter the medical school only after passing the examination.
One of the characteristics of the extreme Nick Stratus is that once he agrees with something, he will be much more enthusiastic than ordinary people. He was conquered by Dionysian medicine and wanted to stay here, but it was not easy for a citizen of Crotone to join Dionysian I have to go back and discuss it.
Nick Stratus' attitude even influenced Stasipus, who also considered staying to study.
On this day, the two decided to go to Turiyi's pharmacy to have a look. After visiting the pharmacies in the city, I heard that there is a bigger, more complete and more medicinal market in the port, so I decided to take a look.
Today's Turii port is different from a few years ago. Although it does not have the advantages of the deep-water port of Crotone, the natural storm resistance of the port of Tarantum, and the superior geographical location of the port of Lijim, it has become a The largest port of Greater Greece.
The reason is simple: the Dionysian city-state alliance has been well-deserved to become the hegemon of southern Italy, and its strength far exceeds that of other city-states. As the center of the alliance, Turiyi has the powerful advantage of political standing. How many free people want to flock to Turii and become citizens of Dionia; how many envoys and parliamentarians from the great Greek city-states come to Turii to visit, ask for help, and negotiate with the Senate; how many businessmen and tourists come here to experience Dionia Unique city-state style, enjoy unique ball games, celebration ceremonies, and even food and entertainment; not to mention the people within the Dionysian League who flow to Turii from 9 to 5... The huge flow of people naturally creates a huge demand, and this demand cannot be completely solved by Turii himself, so merchants who are good at capturing business opportunities come from all directions with merchant ships full of goods.
The port and market of Turii have been expanded and expanded, and now it has expanded northward from the original estuary of the Krati River to the vicinity of the Temple of Hera.
Nick Stratus and his party passed the Temple of Hera and entered the range of the port market, and soon felt the difficulty of walking. Although Turii built several roads between the main city and the port market, and stipulated that vehicles and pedestrians should go their own way, the huge flow of people still caused traffic jams. Walking in it, people rubbed shoulders with each other, although it was only a warm spring, the three of Nick Stratus were already sweating.
At this time, a group of patrolmen passed by.
The clever Lycasus quickly followed them behind, with a patrol leading the way,
They took it easy.
The port of Turii has actually developed into a large town, which is divided into two parts: one is the port and the other is the market, separated by a stone wall guarded by guards. Cargo ships enter the harbour, berth at the wharf, and after unloading the goods, the goods are transported directly to the market, either in warehouses or in shops for sale.
The market was strictly planned by Dionysian commercial officer Marigi into straight streets. The streets were lined with shops, warehouses, and workshops... and goods or commodities of the same type were placed in one or more It is sold in the street, which is convenient for management and convenient for people to trade. There are several commercial streets or small markets (and the same commodity sales area formed by several streets) that are famous in Greater Greece and even the whole of southern Italy in the port market of Turii.
For example, the stone market is very prosperous for the Dionysian Alliance, which is keen to build roads and temples, and has several stone mines in the territory. The industry also has more labor and cheaper prices.
What matches it is the Sculpture Street, the statues of the gods in the temple, the memorial pillars in the square, the stone tablets on both sides of the avenue...attract and spawn a large number of carving craftsmen engaged in this industry, but because there is no one that can shock the whole Greek sculpture works, so there has not yet produced a master sculpture, and more of the production of low-end sculpture works.
The weapons market is also extremely famous. You must know that the Dionysians conquered Great Greece by force, and of course attached great importance to the production and sales of weapons, and the people did not hesitate to invest in this area in order to obtain merits, so it led to the convergence of the port market, large and small. Half of the hundreds of weapon workshops and shops are from other Greek city-states outside the Union, of which there are two most famous ones, one is the Legion Weapon Shop under the responsibility of the Disabled Soldiers Committee under the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the other is Theo. Arms Workshop.
There is also a very famous market - the livestock market. Since Lucania and Bruti, the two livestock-based mountain races, joined the Dionysian Alliance, Dionia also owns Lucania and Bruti, two plateaus with rich forage resources, and mountain. In addition, the Cristoia restaurant is widely distributed in various cities of the Dionysian Union, and most of its recipes are made of cattle, sheep and other livestock into various delicacies, which gave birth to the Dionysian people's preference for meat. While gradually changing their dietary structure, it also prompted the two regions of Lucania and Bruti to raise a large number of livestock such as cattle and sheep.
The livestock produced in these two regions are not only numerous, but also have delicious meat, which is deeply loved by the southern Italian Greeks who have tasted the cuisine of the Cristoia restaurant. In fact, a long time ago, Lucania cattle were well-known in the Western Mediterranean for their docile temperament, great strength and good endurance, and became the first choice for pack cattle in this region. At the same time, although Brutima is not good at running, it is good at climbing mountains, hard-working, and is an excellent workhorse. In recent years, under the guidance of the policy of the Senate, the Bruti area began to raise horses in large numbers. You know, most of the horses used in the Dionysian carriage came from the Bruti livestock market in the port of Turii...
There is also a street that is only unique to Dionia and is quite famous in southern Italy - the ball goods market. Rugby and football were first played in the Dionysian Barracks, and later became popular throughout the Dionysian League and League, and city competitions were held every year. But the people are no longer satisfied with only one game a year, so last year, at the suggestion of Davers, the Senate introduced a new bill to allow citizens of various cities (please note, only citizens) to organize rugby or soccer balls on their own. Teams, after reporting to the City Hall, organize rugby or football matches in each city by the city administrator. About every ten days, a rugby and football match will be held in a single round-robin match. With one point, the team with the most points becomes the city champion and will be sent to Turii to participate in the Southern Italian Finals. The Rugby Finals are held every year after the Hades Celebration Ceremony on September 9, and the Football Finals are held every year. Held on November 1, the day to celebrate the founding of the league, the football or soccer championship for the year is ultimately decided. The participating teams also include some city-state teams in the league, but some city-states were invited but never participated, such as Tarantum and Crotone.
As a result, most of the citizens of Dionia are both contestants and spectators. The arena is often full of spectators every time the game is played. The enthusiasm of the public for this type of game surpasses watching the drama and becomes their main entertainment. Way. As the so-called investment of the whole people naturally gave birth to the popularity of this industry, as small as the piccolo in the mouth of the referee, as large as the goal used in the game, as long as the utensils and supplies related to rugby and football games are all sold on this street. Also includes some other competitive sports supplies. The most surprising thing is that there are many famous players' supplies stores on this street. The popularity of the football market will naturally produce some highly skilled players. Some of them are shining in the games in various cities, and some are even in Dionysus. In the Asian finals, you 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 various materials and sizes, dolls, and sportswear marked with their names and numbers, etc., are all available... This shows the prosperity of this street's commerce.
Another street that is unique to the Turii Port Market and famous in the whole of southern Italy is the medicinal herbs market where Nick Stratus and the three of them are going to visit at this moment.
