Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 4 Chapter 7: Syracuse's war preparations and the trade recovery of the Tua League

Davers gently stroked Christo's smooth but not yet raised abdomen and said, "Until our children were born, they heard no!"

Even though Daves was overbearing, Christopher enjoyed his harsh attitude. She rested on Dave's chest and replied softly: "Know it..."

.....................

Daves gently removed the sleeping Christoya, carefully got out of bed, crept into the partial room, and then groped for the oil lamp in front of the wall next to the window, the flashing lights illuminate a coat A smiling bronze statue of Hera.

Daves prayed for the first time in his devout knees, and his eyes contained excitement of tears. However, it was not Hera’s song that he said: “Dear Mom and Dad, do you know? Son has his own children in this world, I hope that you can bless him to come to this world smoothly, grow up healthily, continue my blood, and inherit my career..."

.....................

In the palace on the island of Ortigia, Dionysius is negotiating with Phillips and Leptines. At this time, his intelligence chief Hipparinus came to him and handed him an intelligence.

Dionysius looked at it and couldn't believe it: "Is this true?!"

"When I confirmed the news, I made a mistake!" Hipparinus said coldly.

Dionysius did not care about the attitude of Hipparinus. After all, Hipparinus was his father-in-law, and in the process of gaining the power of Syracuse, he was one of the colleagues who firmly supported himself. Dionysius exclaimed: "It's unbelievable, the young mercenary leader actually won again! And this time he also defeated Crotone, who made the Rocky people a headache!"

"He is just a sneak attack." After seeing the information the brother had handed over, Leptinis apparently did not appreciate the way Daves won.

"My brother, you have to understand that whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal battle, as long as it can win, it should be commendable! And he can win twice in a row, it seems that this person is indeed a powerful general!" Dionysius Strictly said, he suddenly sighed: "Daves...Davers...pure...pity..."

"Adult, do you still want to recruit him?" Phillips asked.

Dionysius shook his head: "He is obviously not satisfied with being a mercenary leader. He was successful in becoming the lifelong consul of Amendola. Now, after defeating Crotone, I am afraid he is thinking about how Let Tuli be under the rule... This young man is not simple. I used to swear at him. It seems that I should strengthen my attention in the future!" he said with a serious look.

"Know it." Hipparinus returned.

Dionysius saw Le Putinies's disapproval, and he sighed in his heart: his brother was loyal and diligent, but his heart was a little bit worse, but because of this, he gave him the responsibility. Instead of handing it to those who are distracted. The lessons of the father-in-law Hemo Krates must be kept in mind! (Hemo Krates is the former father-in-law of Dionysius, the leader of Syracuse, defeating the hero of the invasion of Athens, the Syracuse democrats worried about his dictatorship, inciting the people to expel him, he also led Sicily The people resisted the attack of Carthage, and finally the Syracuse Democracy was terrified because his light was too bright, and he was tricked back to Syracuse to kill him.

"Right, what's going on here now?" Dionysius remembered the one who was idle.

"He has been quiet for a few months," Hipparinus said.

So Dionysius said to Phillips: "Herulis has been resting for a long time. Feili, you will call him back to help you prepare for this war."

"Yes!" Phillips looked happy.

Dionysius looked at Philips and looked at Hipparinus, remembering Herris in Egypt: it is these people who support themselves in their most difficult times. I have my own today! Herolis should be loyal to himself. This time it is a small warning to him, so that he should not talk casually in the future.

After telling Philiptos to do this, Dionysius was also a lot easier. He turned his attention to the big thing he cares the most: "The Leonidians moved to Syracuse. How is the matter going?"

"They have been resettled, they are busy adapting to the new environment, and the performance is still stable," Phillips replied.

"That's good." Dionysius turned to look at Leptinies: "How about the craftsman's work?"

"It has been successful!" Leptinis waited for his brother to ask about this matter. He said excitedly: "It's too powerful! It is a weapon of God of War! It can shoot ten kilograms of stone out of 100 meters. Far away, the general wall is covered with more than a dozen stones, and it will definitely collapse!"

"Very good! You reward me for the craftsmen and let them make more of this stuff, but pay attention to confidentiality. If anyone leaks out, I will kill him!" Dionysius said happily: " I want to surprise the Carthage next year!"

"Why don't you attack now?" Leptinis said inexplicably: "We have conquered the Greek city-states of eastern Sicily beyond Messina, and there are huge numbers of troops and powerful siege weapons. Carthage’s cities in western Sicily simply cannot resist our attacks.”

"To deal with Carthage, we must be cautious, because they can bring thousands of soldiers from Asia and Africa at any time, we must have a good grasp to fight!" Dionysius said indisputably.

During this period of time, Kunogolata has been busy with the reconstruction of Turui, staying in the camp every night, and it is rare to take a free trip back to Amendo Lara.

Just after dinner, the eldest son Sostatus came back and heard it. He shouted with a smile: "Father, you can come back!"

“Yeah.” Kunogolata snorted: “I heard that you have been hanging out outside this time, and you are not going to participate in the reconstruction of Turai. Are you still a citizen of the Tua Union?!”

"I didn't applaud when Turai was destroyed. It was impossible for me to work with the murderers who killed my brother and bullied my sister!" Sostatus looked angry and indignant. At the same time, he explained: "But I have not strolled around. I participated in the military training organized by Amendora Lara four times. Not to mention that their military training in Amendola Lara is quite complicated and very heavy. Every time I train, I almost exhausted me! No wonder, Amen... No, our civics have such a strong ability. Also, the rugby game invented by the Archon is quite interesting..."

Sostatus mentioned the dead brother and sister, just like picking up the scars in Kuno Gorata's heart and making him look blank.

After Soestus discovered it, he immediately removed the topic, and said excitedly: "In addition to military training, I have been assisted by the business officer Mariji adults at other times. Father, you don't know, since we put 'Tuliyi After the news of the reconstruction of the city requires a lot of materials, a large number of merchant ships came from all directions, plus our market tax rate is low, service is good, management is strict, and businessmen from various city-states are full of praise. We have already filled our port. The market that was originally built is not enough. It has to be expanded, but now the manpower is there for you. I estimate that the day after tomorrow, Mariji should find you."

“Is this true?!” Kunogolata stayed in the city of Turui for a while, and had no time to visit the port. I did not expect that Mariji brought people to the sea and the city of Sobaris two months ago. That area has roughly built the port and the market, and it has been so prosperous in a short period of time.

"Of course it is true! I helped the Maliji adults to keep accounts. I remember very clearly. I spend almost ten Talentes every day to buy the materials needed for urban reconstruction. www.readwn.com~ Also collect customs duties and sells The profit of the things you have gone to has reached eight Tarant, otherwise you think that you will build a city in addition to wood and stone, where other materials come from!" Sostatus talked,

"Duffus will use people! I didn't expect Marij, the Persian to be so strong in business!" Kunogolata exclaimed.

He glanced at his son and said faintly: "You say, what is it for me?" Kunogora is to know his son.

"Well... um... the warehouses and hotels under the Amendo Lara Mountain were burned down by the Crotones, and now the Crotone captives are about to build them again. I heard from Marji, He wants to bid for these new warehouses and hotels, rent them to the people of the Tua Union to make money... um... I want to participate, but the money is not enough, I want to find my father... you borrow some."

"How much do you want?"

"Well... five... five towers." Sostatus said with courage, this is almost half of the property of Kuno Gorata.

"Are you ready to rent them all?"

"Yes, father. Now the Turui merchant ships are gathering, and our port has not really been built. A large number of merchants and sailors can't find local food and accommodation, goods are not stored, and there are ready-made warehouses in Amendola. And the hotel, plus the road between the two cities is stepping up construction, I think that taking these warehouses and hotels will make our family make big money!" Sostatus said confidently.

Kunogolata pondered for a while, then looked at his son, Shen Sheng said: "Children, since being expelled from Turui, I have reflected on my previous practices and felt that I used to be too radical, often not Consider the feelings of others, so that when things happen, no one is willing to help us..."
