Cristoya pointed to the wine glass in Andrea's hand and said, "The beer is made of barley. The one you drink has been made after many trials. It tastes good, but there are a lot of lees, but Davers said, 'It doesn't matter, eating these things will be good for the body'. Now I have to drink a little every day, which is not only quenching thirst, but it's not as easy to get drunk as wine..."

"The taste of this beer is a bit special, but after drinking it, it makes people want to drink it! Please give me another glass!" Andrea said, handing the wooden glass to Asuna.

Asuna gave her a full load, and she took another sip, and then said, "Madam, I'm here to tell you that most of the money we have paid off for the citizens of Amendolar in April!"

"So fast?!" Christoya was a little surprised.

"This year, there is a bumper wheat harvest. It is said that wars occurred in Sicily and the Peloponnese, so prices have increased. In addition, our restaurants have actively purchased cattle and sheep and even their internal organs, so they have earned a lot of extra money." Andrea explained: "So they can ask for loans and interest, and some people hope to continue to borrow more money and buy more cattle and sheep to meet the needs of our restaurants."

"It's great! They can make money, we can get back the loan, and make more money. Both sides have benefited. According to Davers, this is called a 'win-win'. Moreover, we can also lend money to the Turiyi citizens, who need more money!"

"Madam, we have obtained a total of 400 dracmas for the loan interest this time, and the restaurant in Amendolar has only been open for more than a month and has earned about 500 dracmas. So far, we have nearly 1,000 dracmas!" Andrea said excitedly.

"Yes, who would have thought that the livestock that the people disliked would make such delicious food, and would be of great benefit to the body! If Davers hadn't been focused on governing the city-state, he would have become a famous merchant in Greece!" Cristoya said happily: "This time the advice he gave made me very optimistic about this beer. I'm afraid it will become our new money-making industry. I'm waiting for the arena to be built now!"

"Mr. Davers is a descendant of Pluto, what else can I do? Bagull respects Master. Davers very much!" Andrea echoed, and she remembered something and said, "Madam, several groups of prepared citizens have come to the bank to inquire about it these days. They want to engage in maritime trade and ask if they can get a loan?"

"Maritime trade?" Cristoya frowned and pondered for a moment, saying: "Maritime trade is risky. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. We will not be able to recover the loan. Moreover, they are still preparing citizens. Once the trade in the Gentiles fails and they run away, where can we find people to pay back the money?! However, Davers said that the biggest role of our bank is to support the commerce of the state and promote the prosperity and development of trade..." Cristoya thought seriously, but forgot that she was holding a rose in her hand that was about to plant, and the spikes on the stem pierced her fingers.

Asuna, Andrea immediately came over to help her suck her fingers and bandaged the wound with a strip of muslin.

Christoya didn't think anything. She said seriously about the question just now: "We must be cautious about preparing citizens to apply for loans. We must first investigate clearly what their personality is, whether they are honest and honest, and also look at their navigation technology, whether they have equivalent collateral and trustworthy guarantors... If the previous conditions are met, it is best to indicate in the agreement that they are prohibited from conducting long-distance maritime trade in the east and west Mediterranean at the beginning..."

"Madam, I understand." Andrea nodded.

Davers is receiving two guests in the living room of the front yard while Christoya and Andrea are talking in the backyard.

"Hironimus, Agarcia, please sit down! This is the first time you two have come to me!" Davers happily welcomed them into the living room, and immediately asked the slaves to bring dried figs, dates and wine to entertain them.

Hironimus was a little restrained, while Agarcia smiled and said, "Sir, we have something to get your permission!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Sir, when we were all in Persia, in order to return to Greece, our companions helped each other, killed the enemy together, and established deeper friendships and feelings. In Byzantine, I, Hironimus, and a few companions followed you to Greater Greece. Most of the other comrades finally chose to go home because of confusion and fatigue. I thought they had all returned to their hometowns and lived a peaceful and war-free life. Who knew that some time ago, some of the light infantry recruited by Epiternis from the Eastern Mediterranean said, "The mercenaries who expeditioned Persia did not return home. They were forced by the Spartans and continued to fight against the Persians in Asia Minor with very little salary."

We feel uncomfortable when we hear this. We are enjoying a rich life here, but our former comrades are still suffering from a distance, and they may be taken away at any time because of a javelin, a sharp sword, and a spear. Lord Consul, since we have so much remaining land, as well as so many enemies waiting for us to defeat, why don’t we invite them here?! They are not only experienced in the battlefield, but also from the Eastern Mediterranean like us. Everyone is the same habits and is very familiar with each other, unlike the citizens here-"Agascia just said this, and saw Daves’s face change, and he hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong with the citizens here?" Davers asked in a deep voice.

Agarcia stumbled before she could speak, Hilorims took over the conversation: "Some Turiyi people said, 'We are inferior people from Greece. We only know how to kill people, have no knowledge, and can't manage the city-state at all, but will only mess with Turiyi..."

Davers lowered his face and then comforted them, "That's only a few people, and most of the Turi's people are still very grateful to us! Besides, the power is in our hands. Let them talk and vent their depression, but they can't hurt us. Are you right?!" Davers comforted.

"As for inviting Timason and the others to the Tua Alliance, I have considered it. But now they are Spartan mercenaries, and with our current strength, we dare not anger the Spartans."

"Sir!" Agarcia said earnestly: "You and I know that mercenaries are a free profession. If the conditions are not good, they can leave their employers at any time. Now it is only because Timasong and the others have left the Spartans and have nowhere to go, so they have to stay there, and we can provide them with a new choice. As long as they send someone to secretly spread the news to Asia Minor, I believe that if they know our situation, they will definitely try their best to come here!"

Agarcia's words made Davers very interested. You should know that he can achieve his current career mainly by military victory, and the basis for creating victory is these Greek expeditionary soldiers. In the future, wars will only be more and bigger. He needs more excellent soldiers. His fingers patted the back of the chair, weighing the pros and cons, and decided to give it a try: "Okay, then send someone, and it's better not to contact them directly, just spread the news. Have you figured out who to send?"

When Hironimus and Aggarcia agreed, they both showed joy.

"Sir, Hironimus still needs to train soldiers, so I'd better go there." Agarcia said.

"Yes, but be careful, go and come back early!" Davers nodded in agreement, and then said to Hironimus: "How are the training of citizens recently?"

"The recruits are very serious in training, especially the original Turiyi citizens. They have mastered various skills and lack real combat." Hironimus replied.

"In the near future, many new recruits will join various teams, and our troops will be significantly expanded. I hope you will strengthen your training and not let your combat effectiveness decrease. You will have the opportunity to let them participate in real battles next year." Davers made a request.

Hironimus's eyes lit up: Lucania?!

After Hironimus and Agarcia left happily, Davers' expression became serious. He called Asistes: "Recently, someone in Turiyi is dissatisfied with the Amendoralans. Do you check what's the reason? Who are they?"

"yes!"

…………………………

October, the leisure time, it should be the month when Greek city-states hold citizens' meetings and elect generals and consuls, but the consuls in the Tua League are the only ones, lifelong and do not need to be elected; the senate senate either has special approval from the consuls or goes according to qualifications, and there is no citizenship. All senior public officials serve for two years in accordance with the newly passed laws, and are elected by the Senate and appointed by the consuls, but there is no citizenship.

Fortunately, at this time, the citizens of the Tua League - Amendoralas were becoming more and more prosperous in the warehouse and hotel area under the city, and were busy doing various businesses. The citizens of the Tua League - Tuliyi devoted all their energy to rebuilding their homes. The preparatory citizens were excited about the land they rented for the first time in their lives, and began to loosen the land, fertilize and water them early. The work vacancy they made was filled by more free people who heard the news and frantically poured in. The port area was full of Gentiles with various accents, acting as sailors, porters, cleaners, and even doing small businesses... While doing dirty and tiring work, they actively registered at the household registration office, and then counted their days with their fingers, hoping that they could apply for preparatory citizens immediately in two years.
