Vol 2 Chapter 6: sign the agreement

"What do you think you are in Tima Song and Kryano? If I leave you and your wife and daughter here, you think about what will happen!" Daves sneered.
"You said to send me to Asia Minor!" Marji said sadly.
"Little Asia is going to fight, you just didn't hear it!"
"I... I can go to the remote mountainous area of ​​Asia Minor and live a life of incognito!" Mariji still had a hard mouth.
"That's a pity that your talent, Mariji, I always thought that Little Cyrus only let you be his royal businessman, is the ability to bury you! Of course, your birth in Persia limits your ability to go out! But follow I, you will not be subject to any restrictions, I will give you a vast world of display talent!" Daves promised him.
"Follow you?! Go to kill and kill with the indigenous people, then call the king in a 'small village'?" Mariji whispered.
"Marigi, there is a saying in the East, called 'Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi'. Your Persian founding monarch Cyrus was originally a leader of a Persian tribe, and was humiliated by Midia. I will know that he will build a strong empire in a few decades! I am only a leader of the mercenary today, and there may not be a brilliant day after decades!!" Daphus said with confidence and pride.
"How can you compare with Cyrus the Great!" Marigi said disdainfully, but the voice was much smaller. The hot eyes in Dafos’s eyes made him dare not look straight. He hesitated and repeatedly said:
Do I have to choose?

Davers smiled: "You say it!"
"If... If you really succeeded, what would you do for me?" Margit raised his head and looked at Davers.
Daves indulged for a moment, erected and said seriously: "Two choices. One is to let you be the foreign minister, responsible for diplomatic matters with all the city-states; the second is to establish a new business minister responsible for all trade and business affairs. ""
Mariji hesitated and finally made up his mind: "The last time I negotiated with the Croscott tribe, I was scared enough. I chose the second one!"
"Okay, I will keep it for you!" Daphus made a promise.

The next day, Burkes was very excited to learn that all the team officers at the Duffs Barracks would go to Turui. Davers asked Marigi to negotiate a employment agreement with Burkes, and he got out of it and paid attention to persuading the soldiers to accept the employment of Turui.
In fact, most of the mercenaries are extremely poor. They have nothing to worry about, and they have chosen this sharp-skinned life. The long-term war career has made them unable to adapt to a peaceful life, and they first missed their hometown in Persia. Returning to the strong gap in the treatment of the Greek city-states, they were attracted by the charm of Daves and the rich salary of Turui. Only three hundred people chose to stay, and the rest of the soldiers were willing to go with Daves. Great Greece. At the same time, the team officers’ lobbying in other military camps also achieved results. As they were about to return to their hometowns, the officers had no intention or control over the soldiers, and other soldiers had joined the army. In the evening, the total number of Daves’ troops was as high as two. There are more than a thousand people, and there is actually the general of Hironimos.
The heated debates have also fallen, and the main elements of the final employment agreement are:
1. Turui employs the troops led by the Daves leader, a total of 2,133, three people, paying two Dalik gold coins per month per soldier, payable at the end of each month, and provide free parking. And the feeding of one kilogram of wheat flour per person per day, if there is arrears and delays, the salary and feeding will be doubled in the next month. (This is a lesson from the little Cyrus. Because of his early death, the mercenary not only did not have a penny, but also lost his life, spent a year, coming back from Persia. So Davers learned. In case the mercenary repels the Lucanias early, Turui is no longer employed, isn’t it troublesome! So the deadline for his establishment, regardless of the completion of the mission, must be paid in accordance with the agreement.
Second, the mercenary is only responsible for defending Turui and repelling the attack of the Lukanias on the territory directly under Turui. If there are other requirements, they will be discussed separately. (This is what Daves fears the Turifs to ask for some extra difficult tasks, such as attacking the territory of Lucania, etc., which will greatly deplete the strength of Davis.)
3. After the mercenary arrives in Turui, it shall not violate the law dealing with Turui. If there is a violation, it will be punished according to the law of Turui.
4. Mercenaries shall not enter the city of Turui without the permission of Turui.
5. In the battle, the mercenary’s seizure is owned by the mercenary.
......
The agreement was signed on April 1st of the second year of the 95th Olympia Games (ie 399 BC) and ended on April 1st of the third year. When the signing period expires, according to the wishes of both parties, decide whether to renew the contract.
After taking the oath of the gods with Davers in the name of the Turri Parliament, Burkes signed their own names on the two agreements written on parchment (under the guidance of Christovia, Dave Sri Lanka has initially mastered the Greek text).
Burkes stuffed the parchment into his arms and asked casually: "Daves chief, I don't quite understand a problem. Those slaves and women, you have to take it to Turui, not only to swear by yourself." Money for them to buy food, but also to protect them from being looted by the Lucanias is obviously cumbersome. It is better to sell them here. Why do you have to bring them?"
Those slaves and women have nearly 500 people. To prevent Burkes from being suspicious, Daves must of course answer: "The mercenaries are mostly single men. There is no money at home to buy slaves to help work, and there is no money." Wife, so they will regard these slaves and women who have been looted from Persia as their valuable property. If I don’t bring them, the soldiers will not follow us to Turui!

"In fact, it is not necessary. They can all become rich after one year." Burkes joked that the agreement was signed and he was in a good mood.
"That must be alive!" Daves returned a sentence ~EbookFREE.me~ Ok. Burkes shrugged helplessly and said: "I am just worried that they will affect your fighting. Since the agreement has been signed, we will leave next year, I have already contacted the vessel, and now I am going to the city to prepare food and water according to the number of people in your team.

"Kryand allowed us to enter the city?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Burkes shot with his hand: "Kryand allowed you to enter the city, but asked you to go into the city with empty hands."
"Empty hand?" Daphus glimpsed.
"Just give up your round shield, stab guns, and sabre." Burkes comforted: "But it doesn't matter. When it comes to Turui, we will equip you with new weapons and equipment."
"No, it's related, the relationship is very important!" Daphus looked serious and said in a word: "We never give up weapons!" Not to mention the things that Calcolus was cheated in the past, on the way back. There have also been many local indigenous smiles, and in the blink of an eye, the knife is facing each other. In case this is Kryand’s conspiracy, the mercenary goes into the city with empty hands. Daphus will never allow his life to be pinched in the hands of others! The weapon is his reliance!
"You can't give up the weapon, Kryand will not let you into the city, we can't leave!" Burkes said anxiously.
Davers thought about it and made a concession: "I can let the soldiers put the gun on the cloth and wrap the sword, but never give up the weapon!" He reiterated.
Burkes saw that Daves had a tough attitude and had to compromise: "Well, I will go to Kryand again."
Note: The method of the ancient Greeks was mainly based on the number of times organized by the Olympic Games, because the ancient Olympic Games were also held once every four years.
