219 Episode 219 Persian Empire

After returning to Romaria, I digested the accumulated government and waited for the return of Raimond and Iar while preparing to accept Befruze, who would be stationed in Romaria as an ambassador.

It was about two weeks later that Ial and Raymond returned with Beffruze.

I called out Ial and Raymond.

"Are there any suitable ambassadors for Persis?"

I asked them.

We have sent moderately nobles as ambassadors to countries such as Domorgar ...

This time, a large country called Persis.

We can't send poor people.

However, there are no good people.

Ial and Raymond already have offices, and leaving them will have a fatal problem in the administration of state affairs.

Bartolo is a military man and is in the wrong gate, and is at the heart of national defense in the first place. It cannot be missed.

Ron, Rosward and Gram have a strong profile as military personnel, and are not familiar with diplomacy or domestic affairs.

There are many aristocrats in the Senate, and they are not incompetent ...

Not even a Persian opponent.

The soldiers have a wide range of human resources ...

The Cabinet ...

You have the brains, Ial and Raymond, and the bureaucrats, hands and feet.

There is no number 3 or number 4.

troubled.

"People who just can't be upset by that Persis ... it's difficult"

"If you have two bodies ..."

Lymond, Iar, and I tell each other the name of a human being.

But ... I'm still surprised.

In other words, I need to be at least a person familiar with international affairs ...

Then ...

"What about Lord Ains?"

Iaal muttered.

Ain's ... It's definitely no problem in ability.

But ... well, Ain's ...

I'm just a merchant. He is ...

"There's no shortage of abilities. And I and Ains have been around for quite a long time, and I can trust them. Will you take them?"

He has his own business, isn't he?

"Let's ask once?"

"Hmmm ... yes, let's ask."

"Okay, let's take off for your Majesty."

Ain's took care of it more easily than expected.

Ains says that he can afford to leave his business to subordinates.

"Are you good? You don't have good feelings for Persis?"

Ain's hometown is the Greek city-state Alto.

It seems that the business bases were Lezard and Clarisse ... Either way, Ains is still a Christian.

Greece was invaded by Persis.

Persis should be the enemy of his homeland for Ains.

"... well, it's true that I hate Persis, but I'm just Lezad and my hometown is Romania. It doesn't seem to be being done ... "

Apparently, she doesn't hate Persis much.

Honestly, the ethnic group of Christians does not understand.

If you think you have a strong kinship consciousness, it is unexpectedly plain.

Sometimes, they unite suddenly.

At least, as I invaded the southern Christians, I kept pulling.

"If anything, I hate Pofenia, who turned over to Persis and took our business, despite being a friendly nation."

… Hmm, I feel like I understand a little.

First, Persis has a fairly unified rule over Greece.

This was somehow felt the last time I visited Greece.

At least that Xerxes is not a ethnic and discriminatory person.

Emperor Xerxes is not an exploiting ruler, but a governing ruler.

In fact, Ains seems to be making money by transporting Adernia's rock salt to Greece and selling it as before.

Persis has not restricted the Christians' business activities.

Pofenia, on the other hand, has banned Christians from doing business in their territory.

It has imposed the Inequality Treaty on our country, Adernia's regional power.

It is even more brutal with the Christians who have lost their lands.

So the Christians ...

Only when the profits are affected does the ethnic sentiment ignite.

Is it such a place?

Well, anyway ...

"Well, Ains. I'll leave you to the Persian Ambassador. Your role is to bridge Japan and Persis. Of course, that's not all. You should submit a regular report on the situation in the east. get"

Our country has no knowledge of the Persis Empire.

Not long ago, it was a landlocked country, and it didn't matter what was outside the Adernia Peninsula.

But it's different.

So we need information.

"Persis culture, history, political system. Power map. Territory. And much more."

"I understand"

"Furthermore, the promotion of book imports and the protection of the Romanians who went to trade ... that is, the protection of the Christians who were Romanians."

"So that's it"

I explain each job carefully to Ains.

After explaining everything, I asked Ains if there were any questions.

"When can I return to Romania?"

"Hmm, honestly, there is no other person than you. I'll be on duty for at least ten years. I'll have you return home once every two years for reporting."

Ains then thinks a bit and opens her mouth.

"Actually, I have a son, but I want to find a son's wife before I go to office ..."

"Hmm? Did you not get married?"

At least, Ains has no wife in my memory.

Well, because it ’s a culture that does n’t leave women out of the house, maybe I just do n’t know…

"No, I'm an adopted child. See, my brother is Nikolaos?"

"Yes, but nothing because he was a genius astronomer who predicted a solar eclipse.

Nikolaos is not very rich.

On the other hand, Ains is rich enough to be super-added.

It's a blessing to adopt a child without Ains, and for Nikolaos there is no complaint if a child can take over the Ains business.

The children of Nikolaos have more inheritance, and adoptives can take over Ains.

That's what winwin is.

"Well, you can introduce me ... How old is it? What's your name?"

"Tell me Chlor. I'm ten years old now."

Ten years old ...

Considering that the ideal age difference between married couples on the Adernia Peninsula is that husband's age-wife's age = 0-9 ……

Don't look for a child between one and ten years old.

"Hmmm ... there's a little bit of a clause you can think of. Come here anew."

That night ...

"That's why, how about? Tetra"

I asked Sophia, who sleeps in the arms of Tetra, holding her index finger.

It is very cute to grab this finger tightly.

"... I'm adopted by Lord Ains."

"Ah. The difference between the years is nine years, but if the difference is about nine years, isn't that a problem?"

It's not uncommon at least on the Adernia Peninsula.

Because there are only two decades and thirty years old.

"What political intentions are there?"

"If it's strong, is the religion of the Christians? And there is something that Ains does not make sense for ... Above all, wealthy merchants. "

When it is said to be a family, it gets stuck in words ...

It doesn't mean you'll be happy if you marry a good family.

"I see ... it's better than marrying a poor noble."

"Well?"

Ain's adoption will remain in Romaria ... or, in effect, Nikolaos will still be taking care of him, so he is not a decade away.

"Well, the official decision is a long way off, but I don't know what will happen in ten years."

That said, if tetra is good, that's fine.

Later, he informs Aines that if he says "yes," it's an engagement.

"By the way, Almus. What about Anks' bride?"

"Hmm, haven't you decided yet?"

However, Ankus is still young.

It would not be imminent.

"Of course, it's quite annoying when looking for the concubine, of course."

"Look for it?"

"I know"

However, Ankus was the leader of the Clan of As.

I have to look for it carefully.

That aside ...

"Is Fiona sleeping too, why don't you make the next child?"

"……Do you get it"

Two lips overlapped.

"No, no way the marriage is concluded with the royal family ..."

Ains looks at the crescent moon floating in the wine.

Little by little, this crescent approaches the full moon.

"It seems to hint at my future. It's something that I want to shine like this month."

Ains drank wine.

Ains Likinius Classus.

Later, he became the largest wealthy man in Romania and was the father of a knight-class (equites) family who produced men who would lead the first triad politics.

With the trust of Almus, its inherent business talent, political power, and numerous fortunes ...

He is getting up.

_______________

`` The teacher said, `` During the Losaith era after Emperor Marx and Marx, the Losais clan centered on the Rosais Julius family and the Fabius clan who succeeded with great achievements after being set up by the Emperor Almus ( The ancestors of the ancestors Rosward, Pompeius (ancestor Bartolo), Claudius (ancestor Iar), and Cornelius (ancestor Alexius) led the politics. "

Then it is a problem.

The clan that became a branch without succeeding the family, the As clan and the Diber clan who have rebelled against the Emperor Almus.

And the Christians whose shoulders were narrow because they were a minority.

The As Julius family, who became a branch of the Julian family and did not have the right to inherit the throne.

What happened to them?

It will be a big theme for the next class, so please think at home.

That's it for today's class! !
