Chapter 93 Turiyi Chamber of Commerce (3)

While Mikris and his clan were grateful to Davos, they also analyzed why Davos would lend a helping hand: in addition to showing that the king treated all the people of Dionia the same, he did not deliberately exclude the original picture. In addition to the intentions of Iraqi citizens, it may also be related to the fact that Lijim is only a free city of Dionia. Even though Agnes, the younger sister of Alcibiades, is Princess Dionia, Lijim is not fully integrated into Dio. It is impossible for the shrewd King Davos to make such a mistake in the Kingdom of Niea, allowing the Ligiem to completely occupy the majority of the shipbuilding industry of the Kingdom of Dionia, and even monopolize the manufacture of warships for the safety of the kingdom's coast. Because even the order for the weapons and armor required by the legion, the Ministry of Military Affairs was not only handed over to Tios, but also to several weapon manufacturers.

After understanding this, Mikris actively cooperated with the Ministry of Military Affairs to improve the warships they made. The fast three-layer oar warships used by the Navy were first produced by their shipyard.

But now Lijim is also fully incorporated into Dionia... Mikris feels a headache when he thinks of this. But he quickly regained his spirits, because according to his observations over the years, King Davos is still relatively fair, and he is not too favoritism because Alcibiades is his relative. He believed that he would be treated fairly by King Davos in the Latham area.

The big deal is fair competition! Mikris is not afraid of this. With the advantage of being a citizen of Dionia and a native of Turian, he has a lot of cooperation with Dionia Academy, and he often provides inspiration to scholars. The site and conditions of the experiment, some of the things they invented also helped him improve the technology and efficiency of shipbuilding, and also created some special new ships, such as the previous fast three-layer oar warship, and the iron sheet that is currently being tested. ferry……

At this time, the servant came in and reported to Sostatus: "Master, Agums has arrived."

"Quickly invite him in!" Sostatus said quickly.

Everyone also quickly turned their attention to the outside of the hall.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late!" A tall and strong middle-aged man strode into the hall with this rough and slightly blunt Greek accent.

Agums, formerly known as Agum, a native of Bruti, he was originally engaged in medicinal herbs, or because after Bruti was incorporated into the Dionysian Alliance, his tribe, in order to survive better, commissioned him from the Cosenza Plateau The herbs dug up are sold in the Turii market in exchange for food and daily necessities that the tribe desperately needs. And through his integrity and mind, as well as his cooperation with the Dionysian Medical College, and the business channels that he has continuously opened up through tireless efforts, he has now settled in Turii and has become the largest medicinal material in the Kingdom of Dionia. Merchant, and he also changed his name to Agums to show his complete integration into the main culture of the kingdom.

"You don't need to apologize, Agums, you didn't arrive on time today, we just thought that you must have something important to do.

"

"That's right!" Others also took the initiative to excuse him. After all, in previous gatherings, Agums had always arrived early.

"No matter what the reason, being late means being late. I will host the banquet tonight. I apologize to everyone!" Agums said simply.

"Agums, no one is arguing with you, you have to pay for the banquet tonight!" Cerberus said loudly, and everyone laughed.

As an alien, the reason why Agums was able to integrate into the circle of the Turii Chamber of Commerce was his openness and willingness to help others. As long as the businessman present is sick himself or his relatives, as long as he knows about it, he can always deliver high-quality and fresh medicinal materials quickly according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, so he is very popular.

"I've been looking forward to hosting another banquet for everyone." Agums smiled and said, "The reason why I came late is because Lord Alpins from the Ministry of Military Affairs found me and hoped that I could help the expedition to the north. The army provided sufficient supplies of medicinal materials, I think today’s gathering is probably about the matter of His Majesty Davos allowing us Tulii merchants to go out with the team.”

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

"Agums, you are good at making medicinal materials! With the medical skills of our kingdom, your medicinal materials have reached Lijim, and there is no other medicinal material merchant who can compete with you!"

"No one competes, but no one buys it." Agums shrugged and said seriously: "If you want people there to accept Dr. Dionia's treatment and take the medicine they prescribed, I'm afraid it still needs to be. Time to develop…”

Everyone was talking when the servant came in again and whispered a few words in Sostatus' ear, Sostatus frowned and said, "Everyone, Inipias is here!"

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

"That's not because his family has been engaged in stone mining and carving for a long time, there are many experienced stonemasons and skilled carvers, and taking advantage of the rapid expansion of the kingdom and the vigorous construction of public works in various cities, this favorable opportunity, It was easy to gather a lot of wealth, otherwise it would be up to him..." Someone said disdainfully.

As the chairman, Sostatus was not good at judging other members of the Chamber of Commerce at will. He changed the subject and said in a serious tone: "Leocrat is also with Inipias!"

"Why is he here?!" Dickpolis looked surprised.

"I'm afraid it's because we are going to go with His Majesty." Tios answered uncertainly.

"This is the reward that His Majesty Davos gave to our Turii merchants. Their Crotone merchants have no contribution to the kingdom, and they want to benefit from it. It's a delusion!" Flasias said angrily.

His remarks also aroused the indignation of other businessmen.

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

"Inipias must have told him!" Cerberus accused.

"Inipias wouldn't know what to discuss today," Calmendes defended the stone merchant, since they were both old Turians.

"Secret?! So how did Agumus know that?!" Cerberus retorted.

"Anyway, today is our Chamber of Commerce holding an important meeting here, and it is not suitable for an outsider to participate." Dickpolis looked at Sostatus and suggested seriously.

Sostatus nodded.

……………………………………

"I'm so sorry! My master said that he is discussing very important matters with his guests now, and he has no spare time to meet you today." Outside the Sostatus mansion, his servant said polite words, but his face was stern. With a look of rejection thousands of miles away.

Hearing the words, Inipias immediately shrugged and said helplessly: "It seems that they don't want to see you at this time, and I have nothing to do."

Leocrat didn't show much frustration, he said calmly: "As for your desire to supply stones and statues to the Crotone Arena, which was donated by our Chamber of Commerce, my promise is still valid. "

Inipias looked happy.

Leocrat pressed the unwillingness in his heart and turned to leave.

As the chairman of the Clotone Chamber of Commerce, Leocrat knew that King Davos's allowing the merchants to follow the army to the Ladium area would provide huge business opportunities, but obviously the Turii merchants were unwilling to share it with others, but ...Since the Turiyi merchants were able to get such an opportunity by donating food, the Crotone Chamber of Commerce could do the same...

Thinking of this, Leocrat stopped, looked back at Sostatus' mansion, and thought of another key issue: the overall financial resources of the Crotone merchants who had suffered the city's destruction crisis far It can't be compared with the Turii Chamber of Commerce in the center of the kingdom. I'm afraid it can't donate such a huge amount of food to the kingdom. Maybe... Maybe I should contact the Siliting Chamber of Commerce and the Trina Chamber of Commerce... Co-financing donations is far better than the picture. The Lie Chamber of Commerce has a larger amount of food and obtains permission to travel to the Ladium area! However, this action must be started immediately, because the day when the army will go out is probably not far away! ...

Thinking of this, Leocrat became anxious and even ran...

As the messenger and intelligence chief of Davos, Aristillas can be said to be the confidant of Davos' confidant, which makes many senior elders dare not underestimate, but he usually lives a low-key life, and the mansion where he lives is not big It is no different from ordinary citizens' houses: a square courtyard with a pool and garden in the center, the main building facing north, with a bungalow for servants on one side, Aristillas' study and living room on the other, and a south side. It is the gate of the courtyard... very simple.

The only commendable thing is that this yard is located at the southern foot of King's Hill, which not only allows him to rush to the palace or the king's mansion in a very short time, and report important information to Davos in a timely manner, but also allows him to rush to the palace or the king's mansion in a very short time. There are palace guards constantly patrolling this area every day, and the safety is very guaranteed.

But Aristillas' younger brother, Antrapolis, obviously didn't think so: "Brother, the place you live in is too shabby, so others can't believe that this is the place where important officials of the kingdom live. , there is absolutely no need for you to grieve yourself like this!"

"I'm just a court messenger, not a high-ranking official of the kingdom. Why do I do such luxury. Besides, I'm tired of living here, so I can go to the villa for a while." Aristillas said disapprovingly.
