"You don't have to worry about that. The pen "Fun" was www.biquge.info the baggage camp where there was a dolalient silver left by Menon at the beginning, and we were on our way back to Greece, through battles and ...... Snatch...... A great deal of supplies were obtained, and in addition to the ones distributed to the soldiers and others, there was nearly one silver of Tellente remaining; In addition, Marigi and Mersis also made a lot of money from the market they had built before, and it stands to reason that all of this should belong to the mercenary leader...... I'll make a deal with Mersis and get him to give you all the money. Davers told her how much he had saved in the past six months.

"Banks lend money in a way that is hated, and few bankers can do what Lucion does. As the Archon of Amendolala, I am afraid that you will arouse criticism, even opposition, from others! Instead of being surprised by Davers's rich net worth, Christoya reminded with concern.

Davers smiled with satisfaction: "You can think like this, it seems that I didn't do anything wrong by letting you open a bank!" He put his arms around Christoya's delicate body and said softly, "Why is lending money jealous? That's because the interest rates demanded by the money lenders of the Greek city-states were generally too high! I've heard that 20 percent interest is low. Once the borrower can't pay back, the land will be taken away to pay off the debt, so that the family will be ruined, which of course will not be what I want. As a lifelong consul of Amendolala, I want every citizen of Amendolara to live a good life so that our city-state will be rich and powerful. The bank itself can facilitate the trade of the city-state, but the greed of the bankers has ruined its reputation, and I want you to open this bank—" said Davers in a deep voice, "the interest rate of which cannot exceed five percent!" ”

"It's only five percent!" Christoya exclaimed in surprise.

"Only such a low interest rate can allow business-savvy citizens to take out loans with confidence to realize their ideals. Only then can the citizens who are anxious to use money be saved from the terrible usury and restore hope for life...... I believe that the bank you are going to build will accelerate the recovery of the post-war economy in Amendolara and promote the great development of Amendolara trade! Davers said confidently.

The next day, the new citizens, who were usually busy with the war, did not pay much attention to their appearance, had shaggy hair, dirty beards, and shabby clothes, cleared all the tents in the square early, and kept themselves as clean as possible, and replaced them with Doria-style Heatons made of light linen, so that they all appeared to be tall.

They waited in the square expectantly, and when the whole square was covered in sunlight, the women of Amendolara appeared, and they came to the square in twos and threes, led by the old woman, with curiosity on their shy faces. Despite the simplicity of the Greek women's clothing, they tried their best to dress themselves: adjusting the density of Heaton's sagging pleats to make the dress appear flowing and graceful, while adding attractiveness to the fabric at the junction of the shoulders and cuffs with delicate metal ornaments and buttons. They also comb their hair and apply dark or light makeup to their faces to make themselves look younger and more attractive.

When the new citizens saw them, they were like bees seeing flowers, and wherever they could still maintain their demeanor, they all flocked to them, and used all their resources to strike up a conversation with the woman they fancied in order to attract her attention.

Davers, who was on the sidelines, asked several old citizens who were proficient in music to play the harp and play the piccolo, adding a romantic atmosphere to Amendolara's "large blind date event for men and women".

In fact, the situation in the square soon became less romantic and more hot. After all, good-looking women will always attract many suitors, and even cause conflict. At this point, Davers will appear in time with a patrol to warn both sides of the conflict with his prestige, and then ask the heroine in the conflict about her wishes......

When a group of men and women take a fancy to each other, some will leave the venue and walk along the mountain road to continue to talk to enhance understanding; Others went directly to Raphias, the registrar waiting in the square, and both parties had to show him that they wanted to marry, so Raphias registered their names and allowed the woman to take the man home (in fact, it was Greek tradition that the marriage had to take place before they could have intercourse). But Davers persuaded Cornerus to get official confirmation and registration from Amendolara, and the man and woman were husband and wife, but they only owed a wedding, which would be made up later).

It is not only men who take the initiative to pursue women, there are some women who are a little older or slightly worse looking, and when few people are interested, they will also take the initiative to talk to the man they like and show their strengths, such as being good at weaving, good at winemaking, good at making olive oil, or showing off their noble background, rich family and so on.

By the afternoon, there were very few women left in the square, but there were still a few men.

At this time, Davers noticed that in a corner of the square, many new citizens had gathered in a large circle, and he was busy looking for someone to inquire about the situation: it turned out that there was a young lady of Amendolara in the circle, who ignored the men who came up to talk to her, but she was also beautiful, so the men were still very persistent in trying to impress her, and so far no one has succeeded.

Davers was curious, and because it was not a way to drag on like this, it was easy to cause conflict, so he called Lafias and squeezed into the crowd together.

"Hey, girl, our Davers chief is here, if you don't like it again, I'm afraid you'll have to find the gods to be your husband!" Someone in the crowd joked.

When the woman heard this, she raised her head and opened her eyes that were pretending to sleep.

Davers saw that the woman had snow-white skin, a delicate face, and large, bright eyes......

Rafias immediately recognized her and whispered to Davers: "Her name is Andrea, her husband followed the army of Turriy to attack Lucania last year, and died in battle in Laos, leaving her to live alone with a three-year-old son, who seems to be only twenty years old......"

Davers was listening, and Andrea stepped forward and said, "Are you the Archon Davers?" ”

"It's me."

"I have something to tell you." Andrea said directly.

Davers was stunned: "Say it." ”

Andrea looked left and right and pleaded, "I want to tell you alone, is that okay?" ”

Davers immediately felt that things might not be easy, he hesitated for a moment, saw the urgency in Andrea's eyes, nodded, and said, "Come with me." ”

Seeing that Davers was about to take Andrea away, some of the new citizens said unwillingly: "Chief Davers, you already have the beautiful Christia, don't rob us anymore!" ”

Davers smiled, "Don't worry, brothers, she just wants to say a few words to me alone." You all know I've got Christia, and if I mess around, Christoya won't let me go to bed tonight! ”

Davers's remarks caused the crowd to laugh, and they made way for them.

Davers led Andrea to a secluded part of the square, guarded by patrols.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Davers asked softly.

Andrea bit her lip, wanted to speak several times, and finally mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice, "I want to know...... Bagul ...... He...... How is he doing now? ”

"Who is Bagul?" Davers asked, confused.

"That's it...... It's a Lucanian......" Andrea's voice was suddenly as thin as a mosquito: "I was in the temple, and I saw you knock him down and then arrest him...... He's ...... now. How's it going? ”

Seeing Andrea's crimson cheeks, he still didn't understand what was going on, then he had been a white bastard for more than thirty years in his previous life: "You fell in love with a Lucanian, why?" ”

Davers's calm tone made Andrea panic: "I...... I just ......"

"Don't be nervous, I don't blame you, tell me the truth, maybe I can help you." Davers's heart moved, and he immediately comforted her softly.

"Really?! Can you really help me?! Andrea cried out excitedly as if she had found a life-saving straw.

Davers made a silencing motion and said, "Tell me why you like him first." ”

Finally, Andrea squirmed her story.

It turned out that Andrea was once known as the "rose of Amendolara" by good people because of her beauty, and there were many suitors. Later, she was arranged by her father to marry a wealthy and handsome young nobleman of Amendolara four years ago, and although there was no contact before the marriage, Andrea was still satisfied with the marriage. After getting married, the two spent a long time together, and she found that her husband was a jealous person who did not allow her to have contact with any man, and executed two male slaves because of this, and Andrea, who was only sixteen years old and full of youthful vitality, could only be claustrophobic at home. Her husband had an even more terrible habit of drinking, and often held banquets at home or attended other people's banquets, often getting drunk, and then returning home and abusing her, Andrea, who had just become a young woman, could not bear it and ran back to her parents' house, but her father forcibly sent her back, and warned her, 'As a woman, treat your husband as if she were a slave serving her master, and hope that she will not come back, lest the family become the object of ridicule.' Andrea returned to her new home trembling and endured what her husband had done to her.

Fortunately, she became pregnant soon after, and during the birth, her husband stopped abusing her, but began to have sex with prostitutes and slave girls, which was a fetish of Greek male citizens, and Andrea was barely able to accept it. What she can't tolerate is that sometimes when her husband has sex with a slave girl, he forcibly asks her to watch from the sidelines, as a noble city-state woman is usually watched by a lowly slave girl who is usually controlled by herself with strange eyes, Andrea's dignity as a housewife is ruthlessly trampled, so she began to have a conflict with her husband, and once she was directly knocked out by her husband, since then Andrea is afraid and hated her husband to the extreme, but for the sake of the young child, she can only swallow tears and bear it silently.
