Chapter 93 Turiyi Chamber of Commerce (3)

While Mikris and his tribe were grateful to Davers, they also analyzed why Davers extended a helping hand: In addition to showing that the king treated all the people of Dionys equally and did not deliberately exclude the original Turiyi citizens, it may also be related to Lijim being just the free city of Dionys. Even if Alsibidas's sister Agenice was Princess of Dionys, Lijim did not fully integrate into the Kingdom of Dionys. The shrewd King Davers could not make such a mistake, allowing the Lijim people to completely occupy most of the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of Dionys, and even monopolize the warships that create the coastal security of the Kingdom. Because even the orders for weapons and armor required by the Legion were not only handed over to Theos, but also several weapons manufacturers.

After understanding these, Michris actively cooperated with the Military Affairs Department to improve the warships they made. The fast three-layer oar warships used by the Navy are the first to manufacture in their shipyard.

But now Lijim has been completely incorporated into Dionia...Micrius felt a headache when he thought of this. But he soon cheered up again, because according to his observations over the years, King Davers was relatively fair in his work and did not be too favoritistic because Alsie Biddas was his relative. In addition, he had a good cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Military Affairs over the years, and he believed that King Davers would be treated fairly in the Latinum region.

At worst, it’s fair competition! Michris is not afraid of this. With the advantages of being a citizen of Dionys and the original Turie, he has a lot of cooperation with Dionys Academy. He often provides inspiring scholars with the experimental site and conditions. Some of the things they invented also helped him improve the technology and efficiency of shipbuilding, and also made some special new ships, such as the previous fast three-layer oar warship, and the iron boat that is now being tested...

At this time, the slave came in and reported to Sostatus, "Master, Agums has arrived."

"Hurry him in!" Sostatus said quickly.

Everyone also hurriedly turned their eyes outside the hall.

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

Agums, whose original name was Agum, was originally engaged in the medicinal material industry because after Bruti was incorporated into the Dionysian Alliance, his tribe entrusted him to take the herbs dug from the Cosenza Plateau to sell at the Turii market in exchange for food and daily necessities that the tribe urgently needed. Through his integrity and mind, and his cooperation with Dionysian Medical College, he has now settled in Turii and became the largest medicinal material merchant in the Kingdom of Dionys. He also changed his name to Agums to show that he had completely integrated into the main culture of the Kingdom.

"No need to apologize. Agums, you didn't arrive on time today. We were thinking that there must be something important to you that you can't get rid of for the moment."

"That's right!" Others also took the initiative to excuse him. After all, Agums had always arrived early in previous gatherings.

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

"Agums, no one is competing with you, you will have to pay for the banquet tonight!" Seberus said loudly, and everyone laughed.

As an alien, the reason why Agums was able to integrate into the circle of the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce was his generous and helpfulness. The businessmen here were sick or their relatives, as long as they knew, they could always quickly deliver high-quality and fresh medicinal materials based on the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor, so they were very popular.

"I have long been looking forward to holding another banquet for everyone." Agums smiled and said, "The reason I came late is because Lord Alpuenz of the Military Affairs Department found me and hoped that I could provide sufficient medicinal supplies for the troops heading north to the expedition. I think today's party is probably about His Majesty Davers allowing us merchants to go out with the team."

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

"Agums, you are good at making medicinal materials! With the medical skills of our kingdom, your medicinal materials have reached Lijim, and no other medicinal materials merchant can compete with you!" Seberus said loudly with envy.

"No one competes, but no one buys it." Agums shrugged and said seriously: "If people there are treated by Dr. Dionia and take the medicine they prescribe, it may take time to explore..."

As everyone was talking, the slave came in again and whispered a few words in Sostatus's ear. Sostatus frowned and said, "Enipias is here!"

"Inipias is always late, and I don't know how he became the famous stone merchant in Turiyi?!" Seberus said dissatisfied.

"That's because his family has been engaged in stone mining and carving for a long time. There are many experienced stonemasons and skilled carving masters. Taking advantage of the rapid expansion of the kingdom, the favorable opportunity of cities vigorously building public works has easily accumulated a lot of wealth, otherwise it would be up to him..." Someone said disdainfully.

As the president, Sostatus was not easy to judge other members of the Chamber of Commerce at will. He changed the subject and said in a more emphasis: "Lio Krat is also following Inipias!"

"Why is he here?" Dick Poris looked surprised.

"I'm afraid it's for us to go to war with His Majesty." Theos answered uncertainly.

"This is the reward His Majesty Davers gave us merchants Turiyi. The merchants of Crotone made no contribution to the kingdom, and they wanted to get benefits. It was simply delusional!" Folasias said angrily.

His words also aroused the anger of other businessmen.

Michris asked in confusion: "This matter should be more secret, how did he know?"

"It must be what Inipis told him!" Seberus accused.

"Inipias won't know what to discuss today." Kalmandes defended the stone merchant, because they were all old Turie.

"Secret?! So how did Agums know?!" Seberus retorted.

"Anyway, today is an important meeting for our chamber of commerce here, and it is not suitable for an outsider to participate." Dick Poris looked at Sostatus and suggested seriously.

Sostatus nodded.

"I'm so sorry! My master said that he is discussing important things with the guests now, and he has no extra time to meet you today." Outside the Sostatus mansion, his servant spoke polite words, but his face looked like he was keeping people from thousands of miles away.

When Inipias heard this, she immediately shrugged and said helplessly: "It seems that they don't want to see you at this time, and I have nothing to do with it."

Leo Crater did not show much frustration, and he said calmly: "My promise remains valid for you to supply stones and statues to the Crotone Arena built by our chamber of commerce."

Inipias showed joy on his face.

Leo Crater pressed his unwillingness and turned around and left.

As the president of the Crotone Chamber of Commerce, Leo Crater knew that King Davers allowed merchants to follow the army to fight the Latinum region would provide a huge business opportunity, but obviously the Turiyi merchants were not willing to share with others, but... Since the Turiyi merchants could get such opportunities by donating food, the Crotone Chamber of Commerce could do the same...

Thinking of this, Leokrat stopped. He looked back at Sostatus's mansion and thought of another key question: the overall financial resources of the Crotone merchants who suffered from the city destruction crisis are far from being compared with the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce in the center of the Kingdom. They may not be able to donate such a huge amount of food to the Kingdom. Perhaps... maybe they should contact the Siliteng Chamber of Commerce and the Trina Chamber of Commerce... jointly raise funds to donate a much larger amount of food than the Turiyi Chamber of Commerce, and obtain permission to go to the Latinum area! However, this must be taken immediately, because the day the army will go to the war is probably not far away!...

Thinking of this, Leo Crater became anxious and actually ran...

As the messenger and intelligence chief of Davers, Alistilas is Davers's confidant, which makes many powerful veterans dare not underestimate him. However, he lives in a low-key manner and his mansion is not big, which is no different from the houses of ordinary citizens: a square yard with a pool and a garden in the center. The main building faces south and north. On one side is a bungalow where slaves live, on the other side is Alistilas' study and living room, and on the south is the gate... It is very simple.

The only thing worthy of praise is that this yard is located at the foot of the south of the King's Hill. It not only allows him to arrive at the palace or the king's mansion in a very short time, and report important information to Davers in a timely manner, but also has palace guards patrolling this area continuously throughout the day, which has great security.

But Alistilas' younger brother Antrapolis obviously didn't think so: "Brother, the place you live in is too simple. After seeing it, others can't believe that this is the place where the important officials of the kingdom live. There is no need to feel wronged by yourself like this!"

"I am just a court magistrate, not a major official in the kingdom, so why are you doing so luxurious? Besides, if you are tired of living here, you can still stay in the villa for a while." Alistilas said disapprovingly.
