Chapter 13 It turns out that beer was invented by the Egyptians

Speaking of this, Soricos increased the volume: "Just like now, with the consul Davers as the main body, and other senators assisting in the work, the Alliance is much more efficient in doing things. Moreover, all citizens have land and don't have to worry about life, let alone worry about enemy violations. And they can also freely take office and get paid. Isn't it better than before? So even if the Tua Alliance is really changed to the royal system, there is nothing wrong with it. As long as the kings in the future can be like Lord Davers, I think the people of the Alliance will support them!"

After hearing his words, Theos fell into deep thought: The Greeks were born to love politics. From the ancient times to the present, the citizens of every city-state are seeking a perfect system to make the city-state more prosperous and citizens more free. Decades ago, Athens became an example for the city-states to follow, but the failure of the Peloponnese War allowed many knowledgeable people to see the disadvantages of Athenian democratic system. Some nobles, including philosophers, began to praise Sparta's half-king and semi-democratic system that still followed the ancient Greek style, but the dominance of the Spartans especially made the neighbors of the Peloponnese Peninsula hate it. The system of the Tua Alliance seemed to be interesting... Theos thought in his heart.

The carriage continued to gallop, and when he ran across the wooden bridge, he looked back and observed for a long time.

There are many pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the avenue, but they are all very orderly and do not interfere with each other.

As Theos looked, he found some clues: "On this road, you all seem to be on the right?!" He said loudly in uncertainty.

"Yes, you observed it very carefully!" Soricos shouted happily: "That was after the completion of the Avenue. Lord Davers erected a road mark at the ferry of Amendolar, Turiyi and Heraclia, and it was recommended that pedestrians go to the right. In the first few days, many people did not listen and often followed the passage. Because this road was good, the speed of carriages and carriages was relatively fast, so several injuries occurred, causing the road to be blocked. Everyone realized that Lord Davers' suggestions were right! Look at this, our consul. Although he has great power, he does not often use coercive means to make the people obey, but try his best to convince the other party. This is one of the reasons why he is the only lifelong consul and we are not worried!"

"The Tua League does have a good consul!" Thios sighed, "And I noticed that every other distance, there is a stone tablet erected by the roadside, engraved with how far away from Amendorala and Heraclia, and that he would manage a road so carefully. I think the governance of the city-state will take into account the feelings of the people."

"Yes! Yes!" Soricos raised his whip and proudly straightened his chest.

"How much can you earn every day when driving a carriage to solicit passengers?" asked Theos.

Soriks, who was happy, said frankly: "At the beginning, there were only ten Opols a day, and most of them were given by the people of the Tua Alliance in the new Tua. Now, when I am busy from morning to night, I can earn up to forty-six Opols a day. If I continue like this, after deducting the cost of horse feed and care, I can earn about six hundred Opols a month, nearly one hundred Dracmas. In another three or four months, I will be able to pay off the loan and interest!"

The two talked happily, because there were not many carts on the avenue and the road was very smooth, and they arrived at the warehouse hotel area under the city of Amendorala in less than two hours. In fact, this place was not as quiet as the market administrator said, and there were also people coming and going, but it was not that noisy.

Soricos got out of the car and said to him: "I suggest you go to a restaurant run by Cristoya for dinner. The mutton soup and tripe in her store are very delicious and not expensive. I go to eat it every few days. I really didn't expect that the livestock internal organs that people usually don't want will make so delicious that half of the money I earned is spent on it."

"It's really that delicious?" Theos was half-believing.

"You'll know if you try it." Sorix said, and another customer got in the car, and he waved his hand and said goodbye.

"May Hermes bless you to realize your wish as soon as possible!" Theos also sent his blessings.

Seeing Soricos go away, Theos was as he said just now, and his stomach was already hungry and began to roar. He decided to go to the restaurant recommended by Soricos first.

………………………………………

Compared with Amendolara, Turiyi's land, population, affairs, etc. are far beyond many, so the office location of the Senate will be moved to Turiyi. Although the council has not been repaired yet. Given that most of the senators' homes are in Amendolara, the Turiyi Reconstruction Committee allocated a house for the senators in Turiyi in order to facilitate and fast discussions in the future. Because Davers is busy with affairs, he often discusses political affairs with the visiting senators and public officials at home, so he assigned him a new house twice the size of Amendolara's home. Davers wanted to refuse, but Christoya liked this house very much, so he had to accept it.

This house is located on a higher hillside on the riverside in the city of Turiyi. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Krati River and the Koseni River. On another hillside not far north is the original Apollo Temple (now the Temple of Hades is being built on the former site) and the Acropolis, which is located very well.

It was already late September and it was early autumn, but the climate in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula was still hot. Fortunately, the river breeze from time to time made Cristoya, who was raising her baby, feel a little cool.

The atrium of the new house is large in size and rectangular. Some time ago, Cristoya invited a bricklayer to build a wall in the middle and leave a door, which divides the central hall into a front and back yard: the front yard has a side room where slaves live and a living room, and the back yard is the bedroom of the Davers, the room where the adopted daughter and adopted son and the adopted slaves live.

Christoya has been staying in the backyard for a while, and the environment is quiet and can ensure privacy. At this time, she was wearing a light linen coat and taking her female slave Asuna to plant her favorite flowers and plants in the atrium of the backyard. As she moves and is quiet, her clothes are swaying, and her snow-white breasts are looming, which is fascinating.

Andrea got permission from the female slave in the door and entered the backyard. She saw Christoya put down her pickaxe, took the sweat towel handed by Asuna, and wiped the sweat.

Andrea hurried over and reminded: "Madam, didn't the doctor say that you should rest quietly during the period of pregnancy to ensure the smooth growth of the fetus and not exercise vigorously!"

"I'm not vomiting anymore. Davers said, 'Proper exercise helps my and my children's health.'" Christoya said, gently stroking her abdomen, which was not showing her conceit, and her delicate face was filled with tenderness.

"Mr. Davers is so busy and cares about you and your children so much! Madam, Hera gave you a good husband!" Andrea gave a complimentary sentence at the right time, which made Christoya smile even more happy: "Andelia, don't just envy me, you will be with Bagule in another year! I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

"This is all the consul who is helping with all his strength. Bagule and his tribe are very grateful to you!" Andrea said sincerely.

"When Bagule and the others finished their labor service, are they willing to stay and become citizens of the Tua Alliance?" Christoya handed the sweat towel to Asuna and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Bagul told me, 'Most of his young people are willing to stay because although they are tired, they are very happy and safe here. They are unwilling to return to the mountains and live a life of fear. Only a few old people are hesitant, including his father..." Speaking of this, Andrea was a little worried. Of course, she would like to stay all Lucanians, so that her marriage would be much smoother.

"Don't worry, Davers will find a way to keep them all!" Cristoya comforted her, picked up a pot of pot from the table next to her, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Andrea: "You come over from the market, be thirsty, drink some of this."

Andrea took the cup and glanced with her eyes. She saw a golden liquid in the cup, with some debris floating. After a squirt, she showed white foam. She didn't dare to ask immediately, and took a small sip, which was bitter and sweet, and was a little cold.

She couldn't help but take another big sip. A large amount of foam wrapped in liquid, flowing into her stomach very lubricatedly, forcing her to burp a few times, and suddenly felt that her hot body suddenly became much more refreshed.

"What kind of water is this?" she asked in surprise.

"It tastes good. I've soaked it in the well water for a long time." Christoya smiled proudly and said, "Asuna tells you what it is."

Asuna, who had a slightly dark skin and pretty appearance, hurriedly said: "It is called beer, it is a kind of slurry that we Egyptians love to drink. A few months ago, when chatting with her wife, "He is considering using rugby games as a formal competitive game, and it will definitely be very popular for the public to watch. But there is still a lack of a good slurry that allows people to sit in the arena and watch the game under the scorching sun, which can both quench thirst and cheer up the fun..." I heard it aside and couldn't help saying, 'You can try beer that the Egyptians drink.'"

Hearing this, Cristoya smiled "giggled" and took the speech and said, "You didn't see Davers' expression at that time. He looked at Asuna in surprise and asked her several times, 'What is the name of the slurry she said?'. Then he asked about the color, taste and production process of the slurry. Later, he scolded him, "I was deceived by the Germans. It turned out that the beer was invented by the Egyptians, and then urged me to find someone to make the beer. I had to send someone to the slave market in Tarantum, and buy Egyptian slaves who could make beer at a high price and try to make it."

Note: Each civilization has left its own unique mark on the world. Egyptian civilization also has many interesting inventions. Here I will only mention the ladies’ interesting things: eyeshadows, wigs, nail dyeing, various accessories, rose baths, milk baths, hair care, essential oils... and perfumes were not invented by the French. Three thousand years ago, Egypt had a rule: not applying perfume in public places is illegal. The interesting life of Egyptians will be described in detail in the second half of this novel. Here is a small introduction!

There will be a dinner party in the evening, update in advance!
