Vol 7 Chapter 17: Assisi Debut (3)

"Thank you for the explanation of Mr. Burkes!" Asistus continued: "Actually, the great investigation of Crere to Enona will reveal that we are only cutting down the trees growing on the flat, one in the mountains. Did not cut.
Why are you cutting down flat trees? Since Enona was previously occupied by the Samonais, the Samonais did not reclaim the land, causing the forest to extend to the sea. The Shamone people are used to living in mountains and forests, but we don't do the Dionyrians. We need arable land to grow the grain. If we don't cut trees and clear out the wasteland, Enona will have no arable land. More and more people in the Genoa, if they buy grain, the price will be high, and the lives of the people will be greatly affected. In the case of a large amount of arable land in other parts of the kingdom, they are willing to Does Nona live? ! Then in order to maintain our existence in Enona, the kingdom must pay a high price, which is not worth it!
In addition, the city of Enona is directly close to the Solentine Peninsula. The territory of the town is mainly in the south, and it is several tens of miles away from Poseidon. If there is no connection of land roads, it is not very convenient to connect by sea port. Building roads also requires cutting down those trees. more importantly--"
Assisi looked around at the venue, Shen Sheng said: "Although the Samonais have been defeated by the war ten years ago, they have to become the alliance of the kingdom, but we can not relax our vigilance. Recently I heard about the north. The Kautini people began to harass the Campania League. And Enona is far from the central area of ​​the kingdom, in a strange place, must ensure the convenience of transportation, in case of an accident, our legion can arrive in time, and Our Legionnaires are better at playing on the ground, while the Samonais are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, cutting down the trees on the ground, and also to protect the safety of Enona..."
After Assisi finished, the elders began to whisper, and the Kautini’s harassment of the Campania League had been notified to Turui by the Neapolitan messenger a few days ago, although the veterans did not think of Samona. People dare to tear up the covenant to declare war on the kingdom, but they are still satisfied with the precautionary approach of Assisi, and Creru has nothing to say.
Daves nodded slightly: after so many years of exercise, Assisi has indeed grown up.
At this time, Marji stood up and politely said: "I have a problem, of course not within the scope of your authority, but I still want to consult you, relying on you to be in Enno. Six years of experience, I hope you can give me some advice on how to break the trade monopoly of Carthage on Sardinia and Corsica?"
There was a commotion in the venue. Obviously, this problem is somewhat difficult.
But looking at Mariji's urgent eyes, Assisi looked back and looked at Daves, who was sitting firmly, and Davers nodded to him.
Assisi knew that this problem could not be refused. So, after pondering for a while, he said: "I remember that the agreement we signed with Carthage stated that 'Diaonia's merchant ships do not get to the southern Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia and Corsica. Going up for trade... 'The best way to change the trade of Carthage to dominate the two big islands and get a lot of precious metals is to re-edit the agreement with Carthage and let them agree to trade with the two islands.
But I think this is basically impossible, because the trade between the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and the two islands is the two most important trade markets that support the prosperity of Carthage, and the Carthaginians can never give up. A hundred years ago, Carthage had initiated two sea battles because of the Great Greeks, Sardinia, and they all won a great victory. If we did not tear up the agreement and plan to fight with Carthage, or not Go to provoke it.

Ascends said this warning, everyone shook his head in disappointment, this answer is no different from the answers of other veterans.
Then, Asistus turned his head: "But although Carthage has an agreement with us, there are similar requirements for the Phoenicians of Sardinia and Corsica, but the goods of Carthage are developed again. It is also impossible to produce everything to satisfy the needs of the Phoenicians on these two islands. For example, I heard that Sardinians prefer the pottery of Athens, not the pottery of Carthage, so Taiji people buy pottery bottles from Athens and then sell them to Sardinians. The price is naturally higher. Many goods are transported from Carthage to Sardinia and Corsica, and the transportation costs are far away. Increasing, the price of goods has also increased, and if we sell the same kind of goods that they need at a better price in the markets of Enona, Poseidon, and Picosis, it is believed that they will attract two islands of Muni. Base businessman to buy.
Now in the Enona market, they can be seen occasionally, and I believe that after doing so, they will attract more people. But even if it can be realized, this will not be a large-scale trade, especially in the precious metals. After all, the Phoenician city-states on these islands are heavily dependent on Carthage, and it is impossible to do anything that would harm Carthage’s interests too much... ..."
"Thank you for your answer." Mariji sat down with a smile, and Asistus's suggestion was confirming what he thought.
After him, several veterans raised questions, and Assisi responded smoothly. Because Assisi was a mercenary and married Lukania, and he was one of the leaders of the Sicilian elders, and several large groups of Assisi and the veteran. Yuanyuan, therefore, the veterans will certainly not go through with him, setting obstacles for his debriefing.
Seeing that the question had come to an end, Asistics just wanted to let out a sigh of relief, and a familiar voice came from behind him: "I have a question to ask you."
Assisi’s heart was tight, and he turned around with a busy side. He said with respect: "Your Majesty, please ask!"
The veterans of the venue also erected their ears.
Daves seemed to inadvertently ask: "How does the Campania look at the Romans?"
Roman? A few veterans will be strange to this name.
After listening to Antonios, he was relieved: it seems that Davers did not deliberately target Assisi.
Although he had a fight with the nephew last night, the words of Assisi reminded him, so today he began to pay attention to Davers's every move, and he also began to avoid suspicion, did not ask Asistics.
"Your Majesty, in my contact with the Campanias, they rarely talked about the city of the Latin in the north, after all, between the Romans and Campania, there were Walsh and other Latin city-states, and The sea trade in Rome is not developed, and there are very few trades with the Tampaians. This shows that they don’t know much about the city, and they don’t pay much attention to it. But...in their occasional mention of Rome, Always inseparable from the words 'savage' and 'militant', I can feel that the Campanias are both contemptuous and fearful of Rome, which may be defeated by Rome in three years (390 BC). The Celts who made a big intrusion into Etruscan and Latines have repeatedly captured many Etruscan city-states and other Latin city-states..."Asistics is in powerhouse in Enona In the past, I have never been exposed to the Romans. However, three years ago, when he was elected as the chief executive of Enona for the second time, Daves banqueted him, and sent him off, he once mentioned Rome, he got his heart, so he answered that he was fully prepared. .
Davers has specially dispatched personnel to collect information from Rome. His understanding of Rome is far better than the elders present. The reason why he asks this question is only to be curious about the attitude of Campania to the Romans: in the history of previous lives. The Campanias suffered the aggression of the Samonais and finally chose to ask for help from Rome. Perhaps it was because there were no other forces in the surrounding forces that could help them. In fact, they thought about it and this world. The Nigerians have the same idea, but they have a bigger backing. With the help of Dionia, the Samonets don’t dare to invade them anymore, so they should not trust Rome... Davos’s mind Together, his face was calm and nodded to Assisi.
After Davis’ question, no one raised any questions at the venue.
Ronald President Cornelus asked Asisters to return to his seat.
Next is the five-member veteran of the Kingdom's Official Management Committee, which scored according to the performance of Aristos's three years in the administration of Enona. Judging from the performance of Assisi, he can at least comment on "good". Of course, this score is not public. After reviewing King Davers, it will be filed on the committee as an important credential for the new appointment of Assis.
"The next agenda..." Cornelus said loudly: "Pick Elnon's new Chief Executive."
Having said that, he turned and asked: "Your Majesty, did you choose someone?"
This is not the flattery of Cornelus, but the practice of the seniors in the Senate to select senior officials. The first thing to do is to confirm whether the King has prepared candidates. If there is, come out to discuss, everyone thinks it is appropriate, then it is determined; if most people think it is inappropriate ~ EbookFREE.me ~ King can also be replaced.
This is the privilege of the King of Dionia, but Davis is rarely used, because he knows that he always eats a single food, it will attract people to hate, not to mention that he can privately inform Mariji to achieve their goals, why bother to do it. So obvious.
"I don't have a candidate." Daphus tapped the handrail and said seriously: "But the requirements for the position of Chief Executive of Genona are different from those of other cities. As the northernmost city of the kingdom, on the one hand, the successor needs to be able to Continue to handle the relationship with the Campanias and the Samonais, continue to increase their affection for the kingdom, and continue to develop Enona as a hub for maritime trade in central and northern Italy on the basis of the original. .
In addition, due to the complex sources of people in the Enona territory, conflicts and disputes are not uncommon due to different customs and habits. The ability to manage the successor is a test. The elders who wish to apply for candidates and the elders who are selected will make a decision. Be careful to consider!

The words of Davers make the elders here thoughtful. <(https://) "The Mediterranean Hegemony of Ancient Greece" only represents the author's point of view.
