Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Heney, calm down! I've already asked Helps to rush to Laos. After I get things done here, I will rush to Laos tomorrow! Davos said loudly .

Thank you sir, thank you!... Henepolis was already sobbing.

Although Davos felt sorry for him, he couldn't let him continue to be sad, because he knew that cerebral congestion was an extremely dangerous disease, with the level of medical skills in this era. Even in Dionia, it was useless, and it was a blessing to be able to wake up. It was necessary to plan for the future of Laos.

Heney! Heney! Look at me! Look at me!! Davos shook his body and shouted at him.

Henepolis raised his head blankly, tears streaming down his face.

What I want to tell you is that Dionia's doctors have experienced your father's condition many times, and the situation after treatment is not optimistic. Davos said this, Henepolis's face showed Painful.

Listen, kid. You're a 25-year-old, a decent Dionian man! If your father is really bad...you should take the burden of your father's shoulders and take care of you. Mother, take care of the people of Laos, just like your father did! Do you understand?!...Do you understand!!

Ming...Understand... Henepolis cried and nodded.

Very good. Go back to pack up, and rush back to Laos immediately. We will see you in Laos! Davos patted his thin shoulder encouragingly.

Henepolis staggered out while wiping his tears with his hands, and suddenly he stopped: Sir, I... can I ask you for help when I encounter difficulties?

Child. Davers said gently but firmly: I said, I regard you as my own child, and I will fully help you if you have any difficulties!

What happened? I saw Heney go out crying. Cristoia walked in with Krotokatax.

Dad, I saw Brother Heney crying. He is so big and crying. Little Chloe also said.

Davos picked up his child. The little guy was almost five years old and was quite strong: Your brother Heney's father fainted and hasn't woken up yet.

Ah! Christoya exclaimed and asked repeatedly, Is it serious?

Davos nodded heavily.

Cristoia's expression also became sad, and then she thought of something and asked, Heney is going back to prepare to take over as the consul?

Besides him, who else can be Laos. Davos said lightly.

Dad. At this time, little Chloe pinched his face and asked worriedly, Will you faint too?

Davos looked at Little Chloe, then at Cristoia, and answered seriously, For you, I can't faint.

Atili Cruz, Agnes' father, his family was one of the earliest immigrants in Lijim City, a famous nobleman in Lijim City, and the famous tyrant of Lijim, Anaxilas, came from this several decades ago. The family also married Dillon, the tyrant of Syracuse, but later fell out with Siracusa's tyrant, Hieron, because of Locle's problems.

At the beginning, the reason why Dionysius proposed to Agnes was not only because of her beauty, but also because of the influence of his family in Lijim and his relationship with Syracuse. But in the end Lijim chose Dionia, and Artilicruz also married his daughter to Dionysian consul Davos, and Artilicruz was also elected by Lijim citizens as Lijim for two consecutive years. One of Jim's generals.

Atilicruz took advantage of Lijim's special geographical location to vigorously develop the family's maritime trade, especially earning huge business profits from the trade with the two city-states of Massilia and Sagunto. In addition, Atili Cruz also has two shipyards, and the shipbuilding capacity is second to none in southern Italy. Therefore, the Dionysian Senate will approve six of the ten three-tier oars to be built this year. Atelier Cruz's shipyard built,

Of course, this is also a kind of win over Lijim by the Dionysian Alliance.

But when the Weng and husband-in-law met, the scene was not as harmonious as imagined.

What did you say?! Let Lijim deliver the six three-deck oars in his fleet to Dionia!

Yes. Wouldn't it be nice that we still pay you the price of new ships, and you can also update your fleet with new ships.

No, this is not good! We can't give you the existing warships, which will greatly weaken the strength of Lijim's fleet!

You'll just have to wait a few more months before you can use the new boat.

That won't work either, the Messina people are now backed by the tyrant of Syracuse, very rampant. We must have enough warships to frighten them! Why can't you wait a few more months! Don't worry, The warships built by my shipyard will be delivered to Dionia on time.

Our navy is stepping up the training of new tactics, and urgently needs new warships to join in, so as to get familiar with and run in tactics as soon as possible...

New tactics? What new tactics make you so anxious?!...

...

The slave outside the living room heard Atili Cruz's voice making a loud noise, as if they were quarreling, and hurriedly ran to tell Agnes.

When Agnes heard this, she felt a little helpless. She has grown up under her father's roar since she was a child. Even though she is now the most powerful consul's wife in southern Italy, she still feels uneasy when she wants to dissuade her father, who is discussing with her husband, so she has to go to Cristoia again.

Cristoia, who was walking in the garden, listened to Agnes' request, looked at the sky, and smiled confidently: Sister, don't worry, I will persuade them.

She instructed Athena a few words, then came out of the living room, and after listening for a while, she walked in directly, and said with a smile: Davers, Lord Artilicruz, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Dinner is early. It's ready, the kids are waiting, will you talk after dinner, or—

Of course we'll talk about it after dinner. Davers heard that the children were hungry, he couldn't sit still, and said to his father-in-law, Let's finish our meal and come back. He stood up. body.

Atili Cruz glared at Cristoia, but he couldn't say anything about the pregnant woman, so he could only helplessly follow out of the living room.

Davers, to be honest, the fish soup you made at home is much better than the one you made in the restaurant Lijim opened. Do you have any reservations?! Attilik, who loves fish Ruth ate the dinner specially prepared for him and was very satisfied. He also forgot his previous unhappiness and made a joke.

There is no reservation. There are many customers in the restaurant, time is tight, and the chef does not have enough time to cook. Here, it took more than an hour to marinate the fish alone. Davers explained.

Well, well done! Atili Cruise praised, took another gulp, and then asked, Have you tried the fish sauce I sent last time?

Have tasted it, it's very special, it's salty and umami, and it's a kick...my chefs are using it as a sauce and trying it with other foods... Davers said.

It's fish sauce made by the Phoenicians, from Cadiz. Cadiz is not only rich in silver, this stuff is in North Africa, Iberia, Carthage, western Sicily, the coast of Egypt, the coast of Asia Minor It is very famous, and it is regarded as a delicious condiment in many places... Atili Cruz took a sip of wine, rinsed his mouth, and said: There are only two kinds of processing workshops in Cadiz City, one is One is for refining silver, one is for making fish sauce, and they're roughly half and half.

Oh, Cadiz. Davos knew about this town. It is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and is famous for its rich silver production. It was originally a settlement built by Phoenicia in Tyre, the powerful mother state of Asia Minor, and now it is Carthaginian control. I didn't expect it to have this industry in addition to silver.

It is said that this fish sauce is made from a... um, a rotting mackerel innard mixed with vinegar, I- Atili Cruz heard a vomit as soon as he said this, Ego Ness crouched down on the table and began to vomit.

At this time, Atili Cruz was angry at first because his daughter interrupted his words, and soon he realized something, and immediately looked at Davos with eager eyes.

I haven't had time to tell you. Davos said with a smile, Agnes is pregnant.

Great! I'm finally pregnant! After more than two years of marriage, Cristoia is about to give birth to her second one, and her belly has not moved. I'm still worried that it is because Artenas is punishing her (referring to the Agnes was first a priest of the famous virgin goddess Artenis, then she became a priest of Hera, and got married), now you can finally rest assured! Artilicruz smiled happily and raised his glass Said: This is a big happy event! Davos, we two want to toast!

Okay! Davos also raised his glass, and the two drank it all at once.

Artily Cruz put down his glass and burped.

Davos saw Agnes still vomited on the table, and worriedly signaled to Cristoia to ask someone to help her down to rest.

At this time, Atili Cruz said: Davos, I'm very happy today, I decided to agree with your previous suggestion and first deliver the six three-layer oars in the Lijim... er... Lijim fleet. You use it. Regarding other suggestions for training the two fleets together, I will have to go back and discuss with the council before I can give you an answer.

Seeing this, Cristoia knew that Davos and the others were about to start talking about business again, and hurriedly greeted the children to leave.
