As soon as Tios had finished speaking, Dickpolis went on to say: "Although the practices of your Majesty and the Ministry of Commerce are harsher to our Turiyi Chamber of Commerce, their fundamental purpose is to show the kingdom and show to people in other Mediterranean countries. We in Turiyi promote the prosperity of Turiyi's business.
In the long run, the prosperity and growth of Turiyi business is more conducive to the development of our Turiyi businessmen. This is a great good thing. I think we should be happy and try our best to assist the Ministry of Commerce in the business Done! "
Sostatus looked at Dickpolis: Dickpolis took the initiative to speak for him, and had actually indicated to him that he was willing to be friendly with him.
The others at the banquet were also thoughtful after listening to Theos and Dickpolis.
Sostatus laughed and said loudly: "Everyone, when the business is finished, let's not just stand still, come! Come! Hurry up and eat the dishes. This is the dish carefully prepared by the chef I supervised. It is fast now. It's cold, don't waste it!"
……………………………………………………
The banquet in the backyard lobby has just begun. The banquet in the front yard living room is under the auspices of the butler of Sostatus. It has long been staggered and lively.
Hesklaus was already a little blushing and hot. Next to him, a Carthage businessman who was still a stranger, at this moment, kindly pulled him and said non-stop: "You just said that you brought the child to Turye. Here, how old is he?"
"Nine years old."
"It seems you are going to let him go to school in Turei, right?"
"No, no, you are mistaken, I just brought my kids to the Games. The Kingdom has also built schools in Larissa and Philae. I plan to send my son back to Sesali next year to go to school."
"I persuade you." The Carthage businessman didn't seem to hear Hesclaus's response. He hiccuped and continued: "It's best to let the child go to school in Turíy. This is important for him whether he is in business when he grows up. , And politics are of great help. After all, your Sesali is now also incorporated into Dionia. You are a citizen of Dioria. This is your luck..."
Hesklaus was moved by it.
At this moment, a head suddenly appeared from behind him, and he was shocked. It turned out that it was the merchant of Massilia (ie, Marseille) he had just met.
The businessman apparently heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "I heard that there are more than 10 Dionia schools in Turri?"
"Of course, you didn't see how many people there are in Tury. It is said that there are already more than 400,000 people, which is several times the population of our Carthage!" The Carthage businessman said with some sigh, "So where are one or two schools? Enough, I heard that there is almost one school in one block now—"
The Massilia businessman took over with some excitement: "I heard that the school in the inner city of Turíy is the best, and that the children of His Majesty the King, the children of the elders, and the children of the important officials of the kingdom are all studying there. I heard that they also recruit foreigners. Students, if our child can study in this school, it will definitely be of great help to his future development!"
"Don't have dreams!" The Carthage merchant spit out grape seeds on the table and sneered: "The inner city school has children from the royal family and the kingdom's important ministers studying in it. Can it not be strictly guarded? It is true. Foreign students are recruited, but only two types of people are recruited. One is the children of soldiers who died in the war in the Turiyi area, and the other is the children of the leaders of races and city-states who are attached to the Kingdom of Dionian. Maybe let the child enter that school...
However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t enter the inner city school. These schools in the outer city are also very good. Some veterans and the children of kingdom officials also study in it. Back then, my eldest son studied at the school in Dongwai city not far from here. "
"Do these schools accept children who are not Dionian citizens like us?" The Massilla businessman asked in surprise.
"Of course it's impossible, but there are other ways—" The Carthage merchant smiled weirdly and pointed at the wine on the table: "I'll tell you after you have three glasses."
Without a word, the Massilla businessman picked up his wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.
Massilia, the only Greek colonial city-state established within the sphere of influence of the Gauls, except that it had accepted the invitation of the Greek city-states such as Kumai in Campania in the early colonial period to jointly resist the expansion of Cartesian northward at sea. Since then, it has not participated in any power disputes on the Italian peninsula, and has been immersed in development.
Because it is close to the Tylerian Sea, backed by the Alps, is located at the mouth of the Rhone River, and next to another famous mountain pass that connects the Gaul region with Italy outside the mountain. The Massilia built a tall and strong city wall. The Gauls with backward armaments have nothing to do with them. On the contrary, Massilla took advantage of its own sea and land routes to develop itself into a well-known port of trade in the Gaul region outside the mountains to the Mediterranean.
Although they would be harassed by the Gauls from time to time, the Massilia, who benefited a lot from it, were satisfied with their transcendent status. It was not until Dionian conquered Rome and became the overlord of Italy that Massilia complied with the situation. Allied with Dionia. To this day, the entire Western Mediterranean, even the former overlord Carthage, is attached to the Holy Kingdom of Dionian, let alone some of the Allied states of Dionian voluntarily requesting to be incorporated into the kingdom, but Massilia still maintains the old covenant. Unchanged, they have frequent trades with Dionia, but they have always kept a close distance in politics.
But in fact, many Massilia businessmen saw the growing power of the Dionian Kingdom, and they became more and more uneasy. They have repeatedly proposed "to establish closer diplomatic relations with the Dionian Kingdom" in the council. Relationship", but this proposal was never passed at the citizens’ assembly, because ordinary Massilia people are accustomed to this kind of closed and isolated comfort and do not want this situation to change. Therefore, some Massilia businessmen can only find ways to make themselves The relationship between the family and the Kingdom of Dionia has become closer to ensure the safety and development of the family, just like this Massilia businessman did.
He patted the empty wine glass on the dining table, and then said: "Three...three glasses are finished, you...you can say it!"
The Carthage businessman saw his eyes straight, and he dared to sell it again. He quickly said, "Uh...well, I said...this...Although Dionia has a law that only allows Dionian citizens Children can enter Dionian School, but it is not without loopholes.
You should know that many of Dionian citizens are refugees from the Eastern Mediterranean. They wandered in Dionian alone, and finally became official citizens and settled permanently. However, some of them have not yet got married. The child died on the battlefield..." The Carthaginian businessman smiled: "The adopted sons and daughters of Dionian citizens are legally binding. If you can get the widows of war dead citizens to agree to recognize your children as adopted children, and Register at the local household registration office, and your child can enter the school as a future Dionian citizen! I think that Master Sostatus used this method to help my child get into Turíy’s school..."
"Oh... so it's like this!" The Massilla businessman listened, his mind turned sharply, thinking about how to ask Sostatus to help his child do this.
"This method won't work now!" A thick voice came from behind the Carthage merchant.
Hesklaus and the Malayan merchants immediately said respectfully: "Master Kaunus!"
When the Carthage businessman turned his head, he saw Kaunus, the butler of Sostatus, standing behind him, and quickly got up to say hello.
Kaunus was originally a confidant slave of Kunogorata. He was freed many years ago and became a Dionian citizen, but he was still willing to continue to play for Kunogorata, and later became Sosta Tus’s right-hand man, the huge commercial sales network established by Sostatus, UU Reading , was mainly implemented by him. Many downstream businessmen deal with him more than with Status, that's why he was able to host this banquet well, and the merchants were willing to flock around him.
At this moment, he looked at the Carthaginian merchant with a deep look in his eyes, which made the Carthaginian shiver and realized that he was a little bit gagged.
Kaunus quickly put on a smile and said loudly to the people around him: "The method he said worked 10 years ago, but after reports from the Turrii guards, the Senate issued a special statement on this. A decree said, “Unless one of his biological parents is a Dionian citizen, he or she can be adopted by other Dionian citizens to enjoy the rights that the kingdom’s minor citizens should enjoy.' So today Gentiles 'S children are adopted by Dionian citizens and still cannot enter the Dionian school! But—"
Kaunus looked at the Massilia businessman who looked frustrated, and said seriously: "There are other ways for your children to study in schools in the Kingdom. For example, in Capusa and Calagosau, which are very small, Towns and the Kingdom also have schools in these towns and teachers are sent. Because there are few students, it is actually a waste. If you apply to the Ministry of Education in Turiyi, you are willing to pay high school fees for your children. There is no problem at all in the schools in these towns."
"But...what's the point of letting children study in these remote places?" The Massilia businessman seemed disappointed.
"First of all, even the teachers who teach in schools in remote towns in the current kingdom have graduated from Dionian schools and even academies. They have all passed the examinations of the Ministry of Education, and after more than a year of professional training, they have obtained teachers. Only qualified to be a school teacher, his teaching ability is guaranteed."
