While Mikris and his people are grateful to Daves, they have also analyzed why Daves will lend a helping hand: In addition to showing that the king treats all the people of Dionia equally and does not deliberately exclude In addition to the original intentions of the citizens of Turíy, it may also be related to Lijim being only the free city of Dionian. Even though Alcibidas’s sister, Agnes, is Princess Dionian, Lijim is not completely Integrating into the Kingdom of Dionian, it is impossible for the shrewd King Davos to make such a mistake, allowing the Lijim to completely occupy most of the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of Dionian, and even monopolize the manufacturing of warships for the kingdom's coast. Because even the orders for weapons and armors required by the Legion were not only given to Tios by the Military Affairs Department, there were also several weapon manufacturers.

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

But now Lijim is also fully integrated 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 did things fairly, and he was not too selfish because Alcibidas was his relative. In addition, he was involved in military affairs over the years. He believes that he will be treated fairly by King Daves in the Latham area.

The big deal is fair competition! Mikris is not afraid of this. Relying on his advantages as a Dionian citizen and an original Turyian, he has a lot of cooperation with Dionian Academy, and he often provides inspiring scholars. The test site and conditions. Some of the things they invented also helped him improve the technology and efficiency of shipbuilding. They also created some special new ships, such as the previous fast three-layer paddle warship, and the iron sheet that is now being tested. Ship...

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

"Hurry up and invite him in!" Sostatus said quickly.

Everyone also turned their gazes to the outside of the hall.

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

Argums, formerly known as Agum, a native of Bruti, he was originally engaged in medicinal materials, or because Bruti was incorporated into the Dionian Alliance, his tribe entrusted him with The herbs excavated from the Senza Plateau were sold at the Turye Market in exchange for food and daily necessities that the tribe needed urgently. Through his integrity and brains, as well as the full cooperation with the Dionian Medical School, he has opened up business channels through tireless efforts and has now settled in Turíy and has become the largest medicinal material in the Kingdom of Dionian. Merchant, and he changed his name to Agums to show that he was completely integrated into the main culture of the kingdom.

"No need to apologize, Agums, you didn't arrive on time today. We are thinking that you must have something important that you can't get away for a while."

"Yes!" Others also took the initiative to excuse him, after all, in previous gatherings, Agums had always arrived early.

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

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

As an alien, the reason why Agums can be integrated into the circle of the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce lies in his boldness and willingness to help others. The businessman present here or his relatives are ill. As long as he knows, he can always send good 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 Alpens from the Military Affairs Department found me. I hope I can To provide ample supply of medicinal materials for the army on the northward expedition. I think today’s gathering is probably about the fact that His Majesty Daves allowed us Turiyi merchants to accompany the troops on the expedition."

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

"Argums, what you make medicinal materials is good! With our kingdom's medical skills, your medicinal materials have reached Lijim, and no other medicinal material merchants can compete with you!" Saipanus envied loudly.

"No one competes, but no one buys it." Agums shrugged and said seriously: "If you want people there to receive treatment from Doctor Dionia and take the medicine they prescribe, I am afraid it will take time to develop..."

Everyone was talking, and 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 Turri?!" Cerpenus said dissatisfiedly.

"It’s not because his family has been engaged in stone mining and carving very early. There are many experienced stonemasons and highly skilled carvers, and through the rapid expansion of the kingdom, the cities are vigorously constructing public projects. When the opportunity is favorable, a lot of wealth can be accumulated easily, otherwise it will be based on him..." Someone said disdainfully.

As the president, Sostatus is not easy to judge other members of the Chamber of Commerce at will. He turned the topic off and said in a more serious tone: "It is good for Okrat to follow Inipias!"

"Why did he come?!" Dickpolis was surprised.

"I'm afraid it's because we want to go with your majesty." Theos replied uncertainly.

"This is the reward that His Majesty Daves gave us Turrii merchants. Their Crotone merchants did not contribute a little to the kingdom and wanted to get benefits. It was a delusion!" Phrasias said angrily.

His words also aroused the indignation of other businessmen.

Mikris asked suspiciously: "This matter should be more secretive, how did he know it?"

"Inipias must have told him!" Cerpenus accused.

"Inipias doesn't know what is going to be discussed today." Kalmandes defended the stone merchant, because they are all old Tury.

"Secret?! So how did Agum know?!" Cerpenus retorted.

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

Sostatus nodded.

………………………………………

"I'm so sorry! My host said that he is discussing important things with his guests, and he has no spare time to meet with you today." Outside the Sostatus mansion, his servant said polite words, his face On the other side, he put on a look of rejection thousands of miles away.

After hearing this, 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."

Leokratt didn’t show much frustration. He calmly said: “As for your wish to supply stones and statues to the Crotone Arena built with donations from our chamber of commerce, my promise is It still works."

Inipias was beaming with joy.

Leokratt pressed his unwillingness, turned and left.

As the president of the Clothone Chamber of Commerce, Leokrat is well aware that King Davos allows merchants to follow the army to the Latham area will provide very huge business opportunities, but it is clear that Turriy merchants do not want to interact with others Share, but...Since Turriy merchants can get such opportunities by donating food, Crotone Chamber of Commerce can do the same...

Thinking of this, Leokrat stopped. He looked back at Sostatus’ mansion and thought of another key question: the whole of Crotone merchants who had suffered from the crisis of destroying the city. The financial resources are far from that of the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce in the center of the kingdom. I am afraid that it will not be able to donate such a large amount of food to the kingdom. Maybe... Maybe we should contact the Siritin Chamber of Commerce and the Trina Chamber of Commerce... to raise funds and donate together. A far larger amount of food than the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce has obtained permission to travel to the Latham area! But this must be started immediately, because the day when the army goes out may not be far away! ...

Thinking of this, Leo Kratt became anxious and started running...

…………………………………

As Daves’s messenger and intelligence chief, Alistairs can be described as Daves’ confidant, so many high-powered elders dare not look down on him, but he usually lives in a low-key, mansion where he lives. It’s not too big, and it’s no different from an ordinary citizen’s house: a square yard with a pond and a garden in the center. The living room, to the south is the courtyard door...very simple.

The only commendable thing is that this yard is located at the southern foot of the King’s Hill, which not only allows him to rush to the palace or the king’s residence in a short time, and report important information to Davers in time. , And there are court guards patrolling this area uninterruptedly throughout the day, so safety is greatly guaranteed.

But Antrapolis, the younger brother of Aristilas, obviously doesn’t think so: "Big brother, this place you live in is too crude. If you let others see it, you can’t believe that this is the important minister of the kingdom. Where you live, there is absolutely no need for you to feel wronged like this!"

"I'm just a court messenger, not a great minister of the kingdom, doing so luxuriously. Besides, if I'm tired of living here, I can stay in a villa for a while." Alistairs said disapprovingly.
