In the evening, Christoya came to Davers's tent, heard about the day, and with her knowledge of Davers, said, "You want to annex those mercenaries?" ”

"I really want to help them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Davers said earnestly.

"Really?" Christoya smiled coquettishly, her full boobs pressed against Davers's strong chest, and she raised her head, her sexy red lips delicate.

"Really." Davers lowered his head, plucked his soft, moist lips suddenly, and sucked hard.

This kiss ignited the lust of both parties. Davers reached out and picked up Christoya......

At this time, the voice of Martius came from outside the tent: "Chief, Mersis and Marigi want to see you." ”

Davers scolded in a low voice, and his face was unkind, and he just wanted to say, "No! ”

Christoya slapped him with a smile and said, "It must be important to have Mersis and Marigi, two people who are a little contradictory, come to see you together!" ”

Davers knew she was right, and reluctantly put down Christoya and kissed her twice on the mouth.

Christoya shoved him away.

Mersis and Marigi entered the tent with their front and back feet, and saw that there was Christoya in the tent, and they didn't care at all, Davers and Christoia's intimacy had long been an open secret in the whole army, and then they explained their purpose directly to Davers.

It turned out that even when the soldiers began to build the camp, Mersis and they were not idle, no, it should be said that the Turi's were not idle. Although Turii forbade mercenaries to enter the city, the Greeks were a well-known people who were good at business, and as soon as they heard that mercenaries were coming, merchants and peddlers ran to the old city of Cybaris to see if there were any business opportunities. In addition to the food provided by Turiyi, the mercenaries of course needed other daily necessities, so the two sides hit it off.

At the beginning of the trade was one-way, with the Turi'i as the seller and the mercenaries as the buyer. Soon, however, Mersis discovered that the Turii merchants were interested in something in the baggage camp. On the way back, the mercenaries not only robbed women and slaves, but also robbed a large number of gold and silver objects and some works of art, such as peculiar spice wood carvings, delicate gold statues, exotic ivory carvings, etc., which were intended to be taken home in the future, which could be used as decorations, as a souvenir and evidence of boasting, although a lot was lost due to the continuous battles along the way, but some were still retained.

For the Turian merchants, thousands of miles away from Persia, these objects from the Persian hinterland and some unheard of races were exotic and a novelty. They immediately realized that these things were valuable, and they all offered to Merses to buy them.

Mersis was not a fool, and of course he could not sell it cheaply, not to mention that some things did not belong to him, but were deposited by soldiers in the baggage camp. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Mariji first, because only Mariji, who is also a Persian, can tell where these things came from, and what they mean and value culturally.

Marigi gave him a suggestion: why not create a bazaar, run by mercenaries, trade with the Great Greeks, and maybe collect taxes.

Collect taxes on the land of other countries?! Mersis thought the idea was crazy, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money, so he simply came with Marigi to Davers.

Build a market? Davers thought it was a good idea, not only to meet the needs of mercenaries, but also to expand the influence of mercenaries, to understand the market situation in Greater Greece, to train mercenaries to run a business team, and at the same time to gather intelligence and search for talent...... Wait, from the point of view of the mercenary leader, Davers, who has the purpose of taking root in Greater Greece, naturally thinks about the problem more comprehensively and deeply than Merses.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a brilliant idea, and immediately nodded and said, "It's okay to build a market." To-morrow I will have the soldiers build a market outside the camp on the east side and between the coast. Marigi was in charge of the construction of the bazaar, but we didn't have much time, so we didn't need to build it too complicated, just use it. When it's built, it's going to be managed and run by Mariji......" Davers said, Marigi excited.

"My demand," reminded Davers, "is that the bazaar be rudimentary, but it must be orderly, that the trade be fair, and that it be neat and as good as possible to make the bazaar as famous as possible, so that more merchants from other city-states can come here to trade." As for collecting taxes, don't think about it, I don't want to upset the Turiyi, but you can think of other things, such as having slaves help carry the goods and provide cheap slurry...... Wait, even if the market is prosperous in the future, you can still charge shop fees. ”

Mariji nodded again and again, and praised sincerely: "Chief, I didn't expect your wisdom in commerce and trade to be amazing!" ”

Davers smiled slightly, these ideas were rotten in the industrial age. But since he gave Mariji a promise, this guy has entered the state very quickly, he really wants to be a business officer?

Davers turned to Mercis, who was a little depressed: "As for our dealings with the Great Greeks, you will be in charge of Mercis." ”

"Okay! Good! Mersis rejoiced again.

"You don't mess with the things that the soldiers have deposited in the baggage camp, unless they are willing to sell, and you have to sign an agreement with them, and the money for the sale is a small fee...... Well, you have to negotiate with the owner about this, but it is best not to exceed one-fiftieth of the property sold, and return the rest to the owner, do not hide and embezzle! Mariji, you are in charge of supervision! Davers sternly instructed Mersis.

"Davers, you're too eccentric! One fiftieth is a little less, at least one twentieth! It's not so easy for us to sell things, how much does it cost to stand in the sun for half a day......" Mersis muttered aggrievedly.

"One-twentieth is too much, at least no more than one-thirty-fifth, that's it!" Davers didn't bother to continue arguing with him: "Instead of earning money from soldiers, you should think of a way to increase your trade items and expand your financial resources!" ”

Hearing this, Mersis fell into thought, and soon a smile appeared on his fat face: "The ** of the baggage camp is from some ethnic groups of Persia and Armenia, and many of them have also learned the massage skills of the medical camp, which is definitely a novel experience for the men of Great Greece, and we can bid a high price...... Merses' elated voice was interrupted by the coughing of Christoia.

Discussing the skin and meat business in front of the woman, this guy ...... Davers said with a smile: "I can give you an idea, the doctors in our medical camp have a very high level of medical skills. And now there are no major injuries or illnesses in the barracks, and idleness is idle, so it is better to let them open a clinic in the built market, collect money to see a doctor, and you can discuss the details with Christoya. "There were originally eight doctors in the medical camp, two of whom left Byzantium, and the six doctors, led by Herps, remained in the medical camp, strongly attracted by the so-called occult medical knowledge inspired by Hades (in fact, the basics of modern medicine) that Davers taught from time to time.

Hearing Christoya's name, Mersis, who had also had glowing eyes, looked bitter.

Christoya didn't embarrass Merses, this fat man looked like a bully, but Christoya understood how important he was to Davers, so she seriously discussed with him about opening a clinic and how to distribute the consultation fees, but put forward a request: I hope Mersis will not force the women of the baggage camp to be ****** Mersis cried out for wrongdoing, saying: "Most of the women in the baggage camp were stolen by the soldiers on their way back to Greece, and a small number of them were slaves in the baggage camp, who needed to take care of the pack animals and manage the goods. Only a dozen of them are real *** and they're used to using this kind of ...... This method makes money. ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Marigi chimed in.

Note: In ancient Greece and Rome, there were no percentages, but commerce was developed at that time, and merchants and even ordinary citizens were very good at using fractions to complete contracts and transactions, but for the convenience of reading, from the next chapter, try to use percentages to express.
