Giorgris is a rich man in Amendolara (actually his wife’s), he owns ten acres of mountains in Amendolara, and he grows olive trees that are more than ten years old. He also has his own oil mill to make olives. Oil, originally there was only a simple carriage at home, mainly used to transport the finished olive oil to the port of Turii. Since Dania and Georgris married, considering that Georgris frequently traveled between Turiel and Amen Dolara, for military training and handling some military affairs, specially purchased a passenger carriage for her husband in order to support her husband. In fact, Giorgris mostly rode on horses.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the avenue at this time, all the carriages set off in sequence.

It has been almost a year since the construction of Amendolara-Turiyi Avenue. The people are using it, and for the sake of safety and convenience, some established rules have been formed under the guidance of the alliance.

Now that the Union’s Road Bureau has been established, little Heracled was successfully elected as the head of the department.

According to the news, he is going to do two things immediately: one is to submit a “Dionian Road Maintenance and Use Act” to the Senate, that is, to convert these civil road rules into the common use of the Union. Formal road laws to improve the efficiency of road use; second, he is going to propose a new road design plan and a plan to renovate the old road to Archon Davers.

The driver drove the two horses to run at a constant speed, and the wooden wheels fastened with iron sheets spun rapidly on the flat road.

Giorgris listened to his wife’s chatter in the bumpy carriage, thinking about what he had heard about the new road sector.

“Tomorrow I’m going to buy four more slaves.” His wife’s words caught his attention.

“Isn’t there enough slaves in our family?” Giorgris said suspiciously.

“The three acres of land you newly allocated in Crimisa, I haven’t seen it yet, and I heard that it is good land. According to the regulations of the Union Ministry of Agriculture, it can only be used to grow wheat. You are now busy with the Union’s Military affairs, how can I go to Crimea to work when I have free time, of course I have to buy more slaves to take care of the farmland for us there for many years.” Daniya explained.

“It’s only three acres of land, so you don’t need so many slaves. Just to support them will cost a lot of money.”

“Dear, you don’t know that there are at least two or three slaves in ordinary citizen families in Dionia now, and everyone understands that only by freeing up the adult males in the family for military training, can they make achievements and gain honor in wars , to win more land and concessions. The slave market that was built in the port of Turii six months ago has now expanded several times, and the price of ordinary slaves has increased from 160 drachma to 200 drachma. I don’t want to buy a few horses now. When I want to buy them in the future, I’m afraid the price has already risen to 300.”

“Besides, the extra slaves

can be sent to Crimea to speed up the ploughing of our farmland. , dig ditches, rush to plant wheat seedlings, and when the farm work there is finished, you can also divide a few people back to the oil mill in Amendolara to assist in transporting clay pots, and take care of our olive oil shop at the port… Wait until the busiest time In autumn, more labor is needed to complete the harvesting of wheat, olive fruit, oil extraction, flour milling, etc. Our slaves are enough, and there is no need to hire temporary labor, which is a waste of money and efficient It’s not high…” Dania explained to Geogris in detail.

Geogris

didn’t know much about this, but he trusted his wife’s abilities, so he nodded and said, “If that’s the case, do as you say.”

inside.

The carriage stopped in front of the south gate of Turii City. According to regulations, carriages could not enter the city, so the couple could only get out of the car and walk, followed by slaves who carried his weapons and equipment.

Along the way, you can see that many citizens are accompanied by wives, and even the elderly and children come to see them off.

Since Davos took the lead (he often brought Cristoia to public appearances), and the integration of a large number of Lucanians, the tradition of the wives of Greek city-state citizens to stay at home and make less public appearances has been in Dionia. Few have followed.

“Geogris! Geogris!”

Georgius heard someone calling him, and he looked back quickly, but it was Olivers.

He came with his Persian wife Mitra.

After the four of them greeted each other, Olivers said excitedly: “I heard that you have returned to the First Army this time!”

“Because Captain Heros is the chief executive of Asprustum, I’m only here temporarily to support him. He’s missing.” Geogris still maintained his old habit in Persia, calling him Captain Hiros.

“What temporary! Davos will definitely let you stay in the First Army!” Olivers pouted and smiled mysteriously.

“Why?” Georgius asked suspiciously.

“Because I am the captain of the first legion, it is easier to be the captain of other legions.” Olivers leaned over and said in a low voice, “I heard that Davos proposed a motion to the Senate yesterday, and it has been passed. , Anyone who has served as a legion commander for five years and performed outstandingly can become a member of the Senate after being elected by the elders!”

Giorgris hadn’t spoken yet, but Dania, who was listening with her ears pricked up, said excitedly: “So in the future, I will Husband will become a senator!”

Olivers glanced at her and smiled: “Yes, but after me. To be a senator is not just about fighting, but also administrative skills. Be like me. , I not only usually serve as the patrol captain of Tuliyi, but also hired a private teacher to teach me to read, count and speak. Next year, I will also try to be a sub-agricultural officer and a business officer…”

Daniya looked at the silent Husband, secretly make up your mind: In the future, I will also urge him to strengthen his studies, engage in more local affairs, and don’t always train new recruits in the Military Affairs Department…etc.

Olivers looked again, and he thought it was very interesting: it was very fitting that the honest Georgris had married a wife who seemed shrewd.

He looked at Tanya carefully, and suddenly a strange expression appeared on his face: “Are you pregnant?”

Danya proudly stroked her belly: “It’s been five months!”

“My wife is pregnant too!” Olivers was equally proud Announced, Mitra bowed her head shyly.

“The comrades of our squad, I am afraid that the only remaining captains Hiros and Matonis are not married.” Georgris said suddenly.

“You, the news is so blocked! Kunogolata took a fancy to Shiros, wanted him to be his son-in-law, and wanted Davos to be a matchmaker. Davos had already agreed, and Davos came forward. Shiros can’t agree with that piece of wood! As for Matonis, didn’t you notice that when we left from Crimissa, he behaved a little strangely?” Olivers smiled crampedly: “I asked my subordinates to go to him quietly. The brigade inquired, and it turned out that this big man was fascinated by a girl in the city of Crimea… Hahaha!”

“Really?!” Giorgris looked surprised.

“Of course it’s true! But don’t ask him, be careful he beats you and implicates me,” Olivers reminded.

Dionia sent troops in accordance with the covenant, not only to defeat Locri as soon as possible, but also an opportunity to show the power of the Alliance in the southern Italian city-state to increase his influence in this area, Therefore, Dionia not only sent the most elite First Corps, but also any company in the First Corps that was missing due to injuries and illnesses could be supplemented with experienced soldiers from other legions. Paris is led by more than a thousand mercenaries, which not only ensures the safety of the baggage, but also a powerful supplement to the combat troops. Of course, Davos and Felixius also have selfish intentions. I hope these former comrades can make new contributions. , to become a Diorian reserve citizen as soon as possible.

The First Corps of more than 7,000 people, the 1,500-strong baggage escort team, a total of nearly 9,000 troops, and a baggage truck composed of countless pack beasts, a huge team passed the review by Davos and the Senate in Victory Square. The mighty set off to the south.

……………………

The first time Locri heard about the Dionian League (not yet called that name) was during the First Crotone War, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Croto The army inside was defeated and captured by the army of Amendolara, which was much smaller than them.

The Lokrie people are more than excited. They are happy to see a city-state north of Crotone that can cause trouble for Crotone. Based on the principle of “the enemy of the enemy is a friend”, Locle Send messengers to contact Amendolara, hoping to establish an alliance with them to deal with Crotone.

As a result, the Amendolaras did not make any statement, but signed an armistice with the Crotones, and returned the captured several kilograms of Rotone soldiers to Crotone after half a year.

And during the negotiation, Locri even became a bargaining chip for the Amendolaras to threaten Crotone and achieve a truce, so the Locris began to have resentment against Amendolara.

Half a year later, the second Crotone War broke out, and the Crotone army once again invaded the Dionysian Alliance, which was mainly formed by the Amendoraras. While Locle sighed, he did not forget their great enemy. It was Crotone who quickly sent an envoy to prepare to unite with Dionia again. Due to various factors, the messenger Metrofinis failed to get in touch with Davos in time, but Crotone’s army was in short order. After a disastrous defeat at the Trionto River a few days later, only a few thousand were left to retreat to Crimea against the counterattacking Dionysian army.
