The Kingdom Hotel is a hotel funded by the Kingdom of Dionys. As the name suggests, it is used to receive guests from the Kingdom, such as visiting messengers or guests from other countries.

However, at this time, the Kingdom Hotel was mainly used to receive councillors and civil servants from all towns who came to participate in the Kingdom Conference. This was a huge number. It would not be able to accommodate so many people by relying solely on the initial building. Therefore, the Senate had a special announcement to the towns and towns: If the participants in the conference had relatives and friends in Turiyi City, try to stay at their homes.

In recent years, the Construction Department has successively built three or four similar buildings and several separate villas on the south side of the King of Kingdom Hotel, all of which are collectively called King of Kingdom Hotel, which basically meets the needs.

It is almost time for the opening time of the conference. The hotel should be overcrowded. Even if there are still rooms left, the conditions will not be very good. However, according to the reply letters from the town halls of each town, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a list of accommodation in advance and sent it to the hotel manager. Of course, Publius and Tiblius have reserved rooms with very good accommodation conditions, especially Publius, who is not only a valuable veteran, but also represents the Romans who have just joined the kingdom. He allocated him the best room in the entire hotel - a single-family villa.

This villa has three floors, the first floor is mainly the living room and the kitchen, and the second and third floors are bedrooms. The reason for building these villas is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers that it is necessary to receive some VIPs who come to visit with their families for a long time.

The hotel waiter led Publius into the villa. After briefly understanding the situation of the villa, Publius immediately invited Tiblius, who was accompanying him here, to live with him.

Tibruce agreed readily and quickly withdrew the original house.

January is still winter, and even though Turiyi is near the ocean and the weather is still cold, Publius is barefoot and stepping on the smooth marble floor of the living room, looking novel, because the floor is actually hot.

Instead of answering his question immediately, Tibruce pointed out of the door and said, "Sir, have you seen the big house next to you that was steaming all the time? It was a bathroom."

"It's the place you mentioned to me on the road that can make people take a bath." Publius was a little curious.

Although Tibruce had never been to stay at the Kingdom Hotel before, he knew that there was a larger bath in the center of the Kingdom Hotel, so he explained according to common sense: "The reason why this floor is hot must be that they brought the heat from the bathroom to the floor and heated the floor."

"Turn the heat to this point?" Publius stepped on the floor, even more surprised.

"This underground is not entirely real. When building this house, the craftsmen created a lot of gaps under the floor, which was conducive to the flow of heat..." Nowadays, the construction of bathrooms has become common sense in Turiyi, and Tibruce explains it very fluently.

"After dinner, let's go to the bathhouse!" After listening to Tibruce's introduction, Publius said anxiously.

"Two sirs, you don't need to go to the bathhouse, there is a bathroom in this room." The waiter who had just delivered dinner immediately introduced them when he heard the two of them.

So, after dinner, the two entered the bathroom connected to the villa. Although this bathroom is not big, it has all the facilities that the general bathhouse should have. In advance, the waiter had greeted the central bathhouse, and the hot water and hot air passage leading to the small bathroom had been opened. When the two took off their clothes in the locker room and changed into wooden slippers, the bathroom was ready.

The two walked through the locker room and entered the first small room. The room was cooler. This was to let the people who came to take a bath relax first and slowly transition to the bathing state.

But Publius was obviously anxious. He did not stay here for more time, but pushed open the wooden door and entered the next small room.

The temperature in this room was a little hot, and the temperature was even hotter when entering the next room... After passing through three small rooms in a row, the temperature was higher than the other, and Publius began to sweat.

He pushed open the next wooden door and saw a round pool inside. He stepped on the stone steps and walked to the edge of the pool. He stretched out his feet and tried it. It was warm water and jumped in immediately.

Publius invaded his whole body in the water, allowing the warm water to wrap his whole body away from the cold weather that he had suffered from trekking in the mountains these two days.

After a while, he showed his head out of the water and shouted, "Ha!", feeling full of energy.

Then, he saw Tibruce soaking in the bath, leaning against the wall of the pool, holding the edge of the pool with his arms, looking comfortable.

Tibruce rubbed his body with his hands and said, "This bathtub is really good, but it's not that big or special, it's just bigger than the usual bathtub at home."

Tibruce smiled and said, "Sir Publius, you have only walked halfway through the bathing ground, don't draw a conclusion rashly."

"Is there any more behind?" Publius was a little surprised.

Tibruce didn't say anything, and pointed to a wooden door on the side.

Publius stood up and walked out of the bathtub, pushed open the wooden door half-believingly, and immediately felt a wave of heat coming. The room was covered with white mist, and it was faintly unreal.

Publius was still hesitating whether to go in. Tibruus walked in first, sat on the wooden bench in the house, and then said: "This room is called the fumigation room, which is the most important place in the entire bathhouse and the closest place to the boiling stove. They also sprinkled hot water on the ground, and the heat turned into fog, making it the hottest room.

But according to Dr. Tuliyi, moderately aggravating the heat of the body will exercise various organs in our body, speed up the flow of blood, and eliminate waste in the body, which is very beneficial to protecting physical health. I heard that most elderly veterans like to fumigate like this—”

Before Tibruce could finish his words, Publius immediately walked in and sat on the wooden bench.

He soon felt that the room was hot and wet, and even breathing became a little difficult. After a while, he began to sweat a lot, mixed with water mist, and attached tightly to the skin, making his body particularly heavy.

Publius wanted to get up and walk out of the room immediately, but when he saw Tibruce sitting firmly opposite him, he remembered what he said, "The longer he persists, the better it will be for his body." So he endured it again and leaned back against the back of the chair to make himself more comfortable.

In such a quiet room, the surrounding mist was heavy, and even the face of Tibruce on the opposite side could not be seen in real detail. The heat made people feel drowsy, and it felt like they were drunk, which made people feel the urge to talk.

"Turi is really a huge city, more prosperous than I thought! It's much better than Rome!" Publius sighed: "According to the Senate's requirements, I will move to this city this year, but I see that there are so many residents in Turiyi, it's probably not easy to own a house."

"It's true. The population of Turiyi has increased dramatically over the years. I remember that last year, the entire city plus the entire Sobali Plain, not including several other towns in the Turiyi region. The population counted is about 49,000 households and 238,600 people. This does not include those free people, slaves and other migrant populations... There is so much population, so residential land is very tight. When we entered the city, you also saw that the size of the outer city is the result of the continuous expansion of the urban area over the years.

Many arable land is now built on houses. The rent obtained by the Turiyi people for renting houses is several times that of their farming. Our Ministry of Agriculture has reported it several times, but His Majesty said, 'As long as the strength of the kingdom becomes stronger and stronger, the city of Turiyi will inevitably develop rapidly, so that it will be in line with its position as the center of the kingdom. The Turiyi people have paid a lot for the kingdom and can make money by renting houses. It is also a benefit given to them by the kingdom. As long as they pay taxes normally, there is no need to forcefully stop it. As for the food issue, the entire kingdom comes to support Turiyi, and the people are not short of money, so we don't have to worry that they can't eat bread...'

Your Majesty is right! The kingdom is vast, the Catanian Plain, the Ofermia Plain, the Capria region, the Crotone region, and the newly acquired eastern plains of Campania, the fertile land in southern Sardinia, and—”

Tibruce paused: "The Latinum Plain... In addition, we can also obtain a large amount of low-priced food from the allied Egypt, so there is no need to worry too much about food. The people of Turiyi have indeed paid a lot in recent years. In every major war, they are the main force of the war, so the casualties are the greatest. Just like before this war ended, the casualties of the civilians in the entire Turiyi region exceeded 10,000... They should indeed get more."

Tibruce has been in the Ministry of Agriculture of Turiyi for many years. When talking about the land and housing issues of the city, he couldn't stop talking: "Since Turiyi does not allow the sale of land now, being able to own land here is really like holding a golden rooster that can continuously lay golden eggs, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. However, the entire Xubari Plain... No, the entire Turiyi region had already allocated the land 10 years ago. It is almost impossible for new citizens to obtain Turiyi's land, unless he married a Turiyi widow who had a dead husband and no children. Just like this war, I believe that many widows will be born... Alas--"

Publius suddenly interrupted him: "I have a question: Turiyi's citizens died in battle and had no children. Can't this land be inherited by his family or other relatives?"
