v4 Chapter 4: Reconstructed Turui

"I will be like that in the future!" Sekerian shouted with confidence and full of enthusiasm for the future: "Untie the cable, let's go to the sea!"

Lucias also looked at the patrol captain in front of him and asked: "Are you a citizen of Amendola?"

The captain glanced at him and said, "No, we are Tua Union citizens!"

"Oh, sorry." Lucy Ass politely asked: "I want to ask how the Crotone soldiers who were captured by you are now?"

"Where they are specifically held, I can't tell you, because this is a military secret!" said the captain seriously: "But I can tell you that they are in good condition now, even Daphus adults let the hospital treat injured soldiers." But if your negotiations fail, their situation may not be so good. I heard that the Turin veterans of the Senate strongly recommend sending them to mine!"

Lucias was shocked: let the captives mine is absolutely dead! He remembered that after the defeat of the Athenian army in Syracuse in Sicily, about five or six thousand people were captured and finally sent to the quarry. In a few years, almost all died! This made him feel a little nervous.

After a while, the soldier returned to the horse and whispered in the captain’s ear: "Go the farthest way."

The captain immediately met and said to the Crotone Confederate: "The Senate agreed to meet with you, let's go."

After a group of people crossed the ruined port and entered the city, the Crotone Envoys could not believe their eyes: compared to the port that was so deserted, it was full of people, noisy, busy, young and old. Some are cleaning up the ash and carrying the rubble of the stones; others have begun to re-compact the land and lay the piles on the cleaned land according to the instructions of the craftsmen; more people are laying wooden frames and stonework on the walls of the city walls. Blocks, bricks; some people are making mortar, transporting bricks, pushing water... The entire city of Turui has become a big construction site where people are sweating and rebuilding their homes with enthusiasm. They were so focused that almost no one looked up when the Crotonean messenger passed.

Although thousands of people work at the same time, noisy but not disordered, they are organized in an orderly manner. Lucias noticed that some people who tied their heads with red ribbons played a major role in them. They commanded and coordinated the operation of the site, while the real host was a thin old man who kept on patrolling around. When you find the problem, stop and compare the drawings, then talk to the people who are surrounded by him, and soon someone will rush to correct it...

"Who is he?" someone in the Crotone Confucian group asked curiously.

"Hella Clyde, a disciple of the Greek architect Hibodamus," the captain replied.

Heraclede continued to direct the construction of the Avenue of Amendola to Turui after the construction of the warehouses and hotels in Amendola. But after hearing that the Senate was preparing to rebuild Turui, he volunteered to ask for the design and presiding over the reconstruction of Turui.

Daves readily agreed and made some requests for the construction of the new Turui city.

For this city that recorded the glory of Heraclede and lived for twenty years, Heraclede has complex emotions. He is too familiar with it. He can travel all over the city with his eyes closed. He can count the height of each place and the straight line of the river bank... He put all his emotions on the pen and finished it overnight. Design drawings for the new Turui city.

Davers looked greatly appreciated. After that, Heraclede was soaking on the construction site every day, energetically and meticulously supervising the operation of the reconstruction work. His enthusiasm for work also infected the people who were rebuilding their homes for themselves, and the progress of reconstruction was constantly accelerating.

The messengers of Crotone will certainly not know the extent to which the dry old man is now respected in Turui, and of course he does not remember who Hippodamus is. They responded politely and turned their attention to other places.

Lucias asked seemingly and unintentionally: "I am afraid that there are more than 40,000 people working here? There should not be so many people in Turui. Is it that the Amendora Lara is also among them?"

"We do have some people in Amendola, but more are free people and slaves." The captain looked at Lucias, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said without concealing: "You must be strange, why? These free people and slaves will work so hard not only because they may become residents of the city in the future, but also because the governor, Daphus, passed a provisional decree in the Senate, 'allowing women and widows in Turi Freedom of marriage, but the woman must be willing to volunteer.'"

"What?!" Lucias was shocked.

"Crotone, you must know that Turui is not a citizen who was slaughtered after being occupied by your Crotone. This time, more than 10,000 citizens died in the war with Lucania. Almost all widows in the city, I heard that Turui was also preparing to issue a decree that allows citizens to marry multiple wives, showing how many men are in the city of Turui." The captain showed a hint of smile. "Now, these free people are earning their favor in order to earn their performance in front of the Turai women who are busy rebuilding their homes. They are naturally desperately working. Know that once they are successfully seen by the Turai women, they can not only pick up one. Wife, and can immediately become a pre-citizen in Tuli, divided into a house, although it can not be divided into land, but as long as they join the army in the future, these are not problems. These guys are really lucky, there are so many well-educated and beautiful pictures. The Lie woman can choose, I thought we were in Amendola -"

"Captain, don't complain, your wife is a famous beauty of Amendola, and it is still a Persian beauty. Don't you know how envious of other citizens!" A soldier couldn't help but say.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." The captain smiled cheekyly: "That is of course! That is of course! My wife is the most beautiful woman of Amendora, except for the wife of the Archon. I am educated! I am complaining for you, not catching up with good times!"

"My Lucalia woman is very good! Not only passionate, but high and big here..." A soldier patted his chest and said with intoxication: "Greek women simply can't compare!"

......

A team of soldiers began to argue about the beautiful woman's problem, the more vulgar the more, the Lucias was not interested in listening.

These decrees issued by the Tua League are completely deviant to the orthodox Greek aristocracy of Lucias, in Crotone - a city-state that has been built for hundreds of years, and the clan and clan forces have been extremely stable. Impossible to implement. But he has to admit that for the Turui people who lost their homes and lost a large number of strong citizens, it is a good way to quickly boost the strength of the city. It is only Turi, who can quickly restore strength and regain prosperity, and Turui, who is a life and death enemy with Crotone, is not what Lucias wants to see!

Lucias thought of this and worriedly followed the team out of the city. On the way to the camp, "just in time" saw more than a dozen teams of soldiers training: they seem to be playing a game, each side has about 50 people (actually a detachment), they used the head to wrap the long wood The stick is a spur gun, the rough wooden board is a round shield, and the two sides are charged and stabbed like a real battle. After one party is forced to retreat to the white line with lime powder behind it, the game is over and the losing soldier has both hands. Behind your knees, jump around the field (that is, leapfrog) as a punishment.

The scene is quite hot and intense, and at first glance it is known that the game is actually simulated. Lucias saw with her own eyes that several soldiers were stabbed and directly subjected to bandaging treatment. However, the enthusiasm of the soldiers did not diminish. They kept applauding and cheering on the scene. The **** and fighting desires of the soldiers were evident.

Someone in the messenger group was curious and asked: "Do you usually train like this?"

The patrol captain smiled lightly: "We practiced for five days There are many training programs from morning to evening for each training. This is just one of the less intense training programs."

The Crotones of the Messengers face each other. Obviously, the military training intensity of the Tua Union is obviously higher than that of the Crotone insiders who spend most of their time in the arena.

Lucias does not fully believe the captain’s words, but it can also be seen that the troops of Amendolara are a strictly trained and battle-hardened army. Otherwise, it is impossible for the army of Crotone to be so easily Beat, though only a sneak attack.

Entering the camp, before the big account of the central government, the patrol captain went in and reported, and Lucias and his party waited outside the account.

At this time, a person came out of the big account, Lucias looked at it and felt very familiar. I couldn’t remember who it was.

The man did not expect to meet Lucias at this time, immediately slammed, then returned to calm, smiled at Lucias, and immediately turned and left.

Lucias stared at his back and tried to think about who he was.

"The ruling official, please go in!" Just came behind to patrol the captain's voice.

Lucy Ass set the gods, opened the tabernacle, and went in.

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

The patrol captain took the soldiers out of the camp, and the serious expression suddenly turned into a smile: "Brothers, how was my performance?"

"Captain Oliver, you are doing very well! Very serious, completely two people!" one soldier praised.

"I think it's still a little bit worse. There is a joke in the middle that still drives a woman. It's too much to lose your identity!" Another soldier raised his own objection.

"What?!" Olivers rounded his eyes and said dissatisfied: "Shenotimas, you are very unsuccessful in carrying out the task today and must accept punishment!"
