v5 Chapter 39： Kuno Gorata’s family affairs

We must know that the original Crotone League, whether it is foreign affairs or war, is dominated by Crotone, and other city-states have to pay tribute every year. Of course, Crotone is also the security of the ally in defending against foreign enemies. A lot of effort has been made, but with the strength of Crotone, many things are often not discussed with the Allies, and they are the ones who have to do it, and other ally must also support it, just like the previous war with Dionia. [WWw.SuiMеng.lā According to Daves's proposal, the opinions of the small allies can be valued in the new alliance, which is a boon to Trina, Coleña and Silit.

"I agree with the suggestion of the Archon General, to establish such an alliance among several of our city-states, so that we can unite our southern Italian city-states, protect our interests, and let the enemy not easily offend!" Trina Herald Sipros first expressed support.

Then, the Silitian messenger endorsed the proposal. The Coordinian messenger only concealed his recognition because his home was being protected by the Crotone inner army.

So everyone's eyes were concentrated on the Sith Protis.

Sis Protus has been in a mess at this moment. He knows that as long as he nods, then the new alliance will be established, the Crotone League will no longer exist, and Crotone will end his centuries in southern Italy. In fact, after the second Crotone war, Crotone's strength has declined, but there is also a concealed cloth of the Crotone League to comfort the people.

Sis Protus did not dare to bear such a big responsibility, but became a scapegoat for the insults of the people, so he said during the period of Ai Ai: "This thing ... I ... I can't do the Lord, must ... be decided by the council. ”

The other messengers were disappointed with his delay, and Davers said calmly: "It doesn't matter, we can wait."

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

Negotiations can wait, but the battle will not stop.

In the middle of the month, the army of Syracuse easily occupied Agrigento, and attributed the second largest Greek city-state on Sicily to its own jurisdiction.

A few days later, the Lockley army, which received a small amount of domestic reinforcements, came out of the camp and marched into the city of Cologne. Although the Crotone inner reinforcements had more than 2,000 soldiers stranded in the Silean, the Crotones resolutely joined the test. The Legian soldiers went out of the city to fight. After an hour of battle, Locke took advantage of the crowd and began to gain the upper hand. If it wasn’t for the wind, the Rocky cavalry could not pursue it. Crotone and the Cologne coalition would never It will only be a small setback.

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

At the beginning, after the reconstruction of Turui, each of the veterans of the Senate was assigned a house, and Knogolatat chose a courtyard far from his former address to avoid touching the scene.

This night, he returned home, the living room was still lit by candlelight, and his eldest son Soastus greeted: "Father, you are really late today, is there any tricky thing in the city?"

Kunogolata glanced at him, took off the sweaty Bolton, stood in the courtyard, let the male slave water wash his body, and then said: "Comeca's Anta Ollis they have When I came to the Senate to report, I am busy with them today to register them with household registration, housing distribution, etc..."

"Where do you need to do it yourself, let your hands go down and do it."

"What do you know! Considering that Crimea has just merged into the Alliance, we need to act to show that Dionia pays attention to the veterans who represent the people of Crimea and eliminate their worries..."

Sostatus leaned on the pillar and said with disapproval: "Is Davers demanding?"

"Damn guy!" Kunogolata grabbed the wet cloth in the slave's hand and threw it at Sostatus. He shouted loudly in his mouth: "How many times have you been told, don't disrespect the consul, you always Don't listen!"

"Where I don't respect the Archon's adult!" Sostatus yelled as he screamed, picking up the wet cloth and carefully throwing it to the slave: "Daveus is my commander, I have always obeyed the military law and obeyed the order." Just because I have been talking like this, I can't change it."

Kunogolata looked at his son's face even though he was seriously refuting. He couldn't help but sigh: This son does not seem to be a political matter! Thinking of this, he asked: "You don't go to sleep so late, wait for me here, do you want to borrow money from me?"

"You yelled at me, father. The last time I borrowed money from you, contracted the warehouses and hotels in Amendola, in addition to your money and the rent paid, guess how much I made?" Sostatus Asked self-satisfied, Kunogolata did not care for him.

"One Taranthal twenty Mingna!" Sostatus swayed his fingers and said proudly: "If it was not a war with Crotone, the port of Turui was blocked and I could earn more. some more!"

He paused and said: "Father, I have something to discuss with you."

"You say it." Kunogolata knew that he must have something, so he said casually.

Sostatus looked at his face and said carefully: "After this war, the alliance assigned you and me a total of four acres of land in the northern plains of Croton, I want to use it to exchange Amendo with others. The land of Lara."

"What?! You have to use the fertile Croton Plains land to exchange the barren land of Amendola!" Kuno Gorata, who does not value money, can't be careless about the land because the land is Greek. Life roots.

"Father, listen to me!" Sostatus said hurriedly.

Kunogolata knows that his son said this, there must be a reason, so he scrubbed his body, changed his clean clothes, sat in the living room, and listened carefully to his son.

"Father, you are the chief executive of Turui. It should be known that since the reconstruction of Turiyi last year, the trade volume of the port has been rising." Sotatus’s words made Coonorata "snap". How could he not know about these things? He can even tell the number of cargo ships entering and leaving the port of Turui and the amount of commercial tax on market trade. Marigi has made detailed plans for the trade of the revitalization alliance, and he has implemented this plan. The plan also paid a lot of effort.

“Why can I make money?! Because the port of Turui has not accommodated so much cargo and migrants, the convenient transportation of warehouses and hotels under the city of Amendola Lara will be very popular. Now we have defeated Crowe Tone, not only expanded the territory once again, but also became a real strong state in southern Italy. Merchants and free people will flock to it, but your Senate has laws that do not allow the use of the fertile plains of the Sobari plains. Or it will be taken back to the land-"

"Yes, Burks is responsible for this, and this is also to protect the cultivated land of Turui." Kunogolata interjected.

"I think this bill is very correct!" Soastus first touted it and said: "In this way, Amendola Lara became the inevitable choice for these foreign businessmen and free people. And last year, Maliji I have been auctioned out in the industrial zone. I went to see it a few days ago. There is already a weapons workshop, pottery workshop and stone carving shop. These are large workshops that require a lot of labor and slaves. Therefore, there is a great demand for accommodation, food and even entertainment. Before, I initially discussed with others that the land of four acres of Croton Plains could be exchanged for eight acres of land near the industrial area of ​​Amendola, with such a large A piece of land, I can build a lot of cheap housing and warehouses on it. The rent that is collected every year is not a small amount. I can also build some small shops, rent them to others to make bread, ready-to-wear shops...and even in the future. Money, I can buy a lot of slaves, then rent them out and get profits..." Sostadus screamed dream.

"Father, the land is fertile again, and it will be a heavy loss in the event of a disaster. According to my approach, as long as our Dionysian alliance is always strong, our family will get much better annual income than farming!"

Kunogolata looked at his son's arrogant face and pondered for a long time. He said: "Sostatus, you will be responsible for the finances of your family. I will announce this at home tomorrow and let Coloye Soth (the slave butler of Kunogolata) will follow your arrangement Really?!" Sostatus couldn't believe his ears.

"Of course it is true! Since you have the ability to do business, I will not let you bury it. But -" Kunogorata said: "When I die, the property you earn must be divided into half for your brother. Can you promise?"

Under the watchful eyes of Kunogora, Sostatus calmed down and thought about it carefully. He said solemnly: "Since the last time our family was driven out of Turui, there was also sister Xeffina... Leaving us, I feel more cherish my family! Dika Okrat is my only younger brother, father, I will sign an agreement according to the requirements of Nepal, when you go to... Elysee, I will Half of the family is given to him! And my sister, when she remarries, I will also prepare a rich dowry for her!"

"Very good! Very good!!" Kunogolata was so relieved that he felt that his decision was not wrong, and that the words of Sostatus reminded him of another worry.

Diona, his eldest daughter, was married when he was driven out of Turui, so he did not follow them to Amendola, so he was humiliated in the city of Turui and attacked in Crotone. During her life in Turri, her husband died and her husband’s family drove her out of the house.
