The sky is still drizzling.
Alcibidas left the port area with the squad, and after going up the avenue, he went straight to the city of Turui.
Since Alcibidas has many industries in Turui, he will come to Turui almost every other month or two, and every time he comes, he will find that there will be some changes in the city of Turui, so that he I often sigh: The development of the Kingdom of Deonia is too fast!
This time, there have been many new changes in the city of Turai: in the past, there were more than a dozen large waterwheels along the Krati River in the city of Turui, which transported clear water through the elevated water bridge to the city. Through the transfer of the water tower, it reaches the large-scale fountains distributed in all parts of the city. The residents only need to go to the fountain in the nearest home to get water. It is very convenient, and there is no need to worry about water. This time the drought has taught the Diaonians not only to let them cherish the water more, but also to let them plan ahead and take more water storage measures, such as the courtyard of each household in the residential area of the outer city. A reservoir has been built in it and covered with wooden boards to prevent evaporation. Even many citizens have raised funds to build a small altar in Poseidon in their residential area.
Although the drought ended, the Turai City Hall was still full of people before the temporary construction of the food market in the urban areas, and more than ever, because at this time the people's home stocks have basically been eaten.
Alcibidas looked at the long queues in front of them. The people basically kept a good order and remembered a series of things that happened recently in China:
His mother Bangli Jim had no fertile land, and there was not much production. After adding to the free city of the kingdom, Li Jim was backed by Dionya, the trade was prosperous, the territory was safe, the citizens were rich, the luxury was the wind, and the people There is no extra stock. After the drought also ravaged Lijim, several rivers in the territory were cut off, and the city soon began to lack food.
The Lijim Council felt panic and hurriedly asked for help from the Kingdom of Dionia. Davers ordered the distribution of a batch of grain to Lijim and sent people to re-evaluate them: to control the purchases of everyone.
Lijim’s officials did not pay attention to it at all. The grain was put on the market and was bought by Liji’s rich people in a blink of an eye, so he had to ask Dionya again for help.
Although Daves looked very bad-looking and fired, he still approved and gave Li Jim a batch of grain, and warned them that Diogenia’s reserve food would supply nearly 2 million people in the whole kingdom. There is excess food supply to Li Jim. If you are short of food, please think for it yourself.
It is reasonable to say that this time Li Jim should learn the lesson, but in fact it does not.
Liji’s generals and members of the council gave the food in private, and some even took the grain and put it in their own food shop to sell at a high price. The Lijim merchants also acted to buy food from all over the Mediterranean, then shipped them back to the Lijim market for sale at high prices, and went to the territory of Dionia to make money in the same way. Strict punishment of the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom.
There are not only wealthy businessmen in the city of Lijim, but also ordinary civilians and a large number of free people in the port. They do not have enough money to continue to buy food on the market, and the food prices in the city are too high, but the council is not strict. The restrictions have made the people complain.
At this time, it was revealed that the "Lijim Council twice corrupted the relief food given by Diaonia for free", which finally aroused the public's anger. They gathered together, robbed the grain shop, wounded the merchants, and even shouted the slogan "We don't want to be a free city, Li Jim should be completely integrated into Dionia."
When Arcibidas left Lijim and came to Turui, the riots were still going on...
Alcibidas sighed and suppressed this annoying emotion. He went straight through the city guard and entered the inner city with the squad.
Almost at dusk, Victory Square is still very lively: vendors are screaming loudly; bards are rap here; some students at the Dionia Academy are giving lectures, both training them. Guts and knowledge, and promote the profession he has learned to the public; some artists have made simple performances of their own poems, music, and even dramas. Through the reaction and feedback of the audience, go back and continue to improve their works. .
Around the Victory Square, the public discussed the contents of the announcement of the Senate on the stone wall. Under the steps in front of the library, young people read the stories in the book, surrounded by children who listened carefully; Next to the fountain in Tuli, the women chatted in the mud, while the children laughed and sipped in the water... This is a scene of warmth and tranquility!
Seeing this, it is hard to believe that, in fact, there is a war in Diaonia, and it is about to trigger a bigger war! Alcibidas felt in his heart that he passed through the Victory Square, bypassed the Senate's Great Hall, and went to the forbidden place named "The King's Hill" by the Turif people. He was immediately stopped by the Palace Guard.
Alcibidas showed his identity and origins, and immediately guards horsebacked to the top of the king's house to make a briefing.
While Alcibidas was waiting, the guards were checking the items he was about to bring up, and Alcibidas was accustomed to it.
At this time, a white horse-drawn carriage with two white horses came under the guard of the guards from the east. Although the carriage is not inlaid with gold, the exquisite design of the carriage, the beautiful decoration on the hood and the beautiful draping of the white horse all show the grace of the owner of the carriage.
"Big Brother!" The window on the side of the carriage broke open, revealing a beautiful face.
..........................................
Aegis asked Alcibidas to get into the carriage and let the already-tested cricket team follow him and head towards the top of the mountain.
"Is my father's body better?" asked Ai Ginisi.
"As before, I can't walk on the bed, and the doctor who sent him to treat him several times, there is not much progress... but he doesn't like his temper as before, and he followed me two days ago. Say, 'Think of Turri to see you.' But, you know..." Alcidadas shrugged helplessly.
When she loved Grace, she was filled with melancholy on her face. Of course she knew what Alcidadas was referring to.
In these years, Liji Jim's chief general, Attilius, came to Turui every time. He always used various methods to slap the side to the Daves: he should choose the son of Agnos, the son of Agnos, as the heir to the throne.
Especially at a family banquet two years ago, some of the more drunk Attilis actually declared publicly: "...Clithista is not a pure Greek (the Greeks of Asia Minor are married to foreigners) Many), once was the king of Persia, her child Croto Katax, if he succeeded to the throne, I am afraid it would cause people to criticize, and Croto Kataks is too gentle, not suitable for succession to the king, and Apoque Sisheng is intelligent, pure blood, and should be the qualified successor of Dafos..."
After these words were spoken at the banquet, Dafoss was furious. He was the most taboo to intervene in the matter of the kingdom inherited by the throne, deliberately provoke a dispute to destroy his family. Then, under anger, not only smashed the cans in his hands, but also ordered the guards to drive them out of the mansion, ordering them to return to Lijim immediately, and never to come to Turui.
Since then, Attilis has had a prestige in the Lijim council, and his parliamentarians have always begun to stay away from him. Atheli Cruz, who was hit by this, was unhappy and drunk all day. He suddenly fell down and fell into a coma. After the rescue, the person was awake, but he was kneeling and could not walk...
Thinking of these past events, Ai Ni Sisi looked awkward: after the incident happened, she was the most uncomfortable in the middle. On the one hand, she felt very sorry for Christovia, even though afterwards Christathe said that Attilis said it was drunk, she didn't mind, and as always, and loves Grace. Getting along and being awkward, but Ai Ge Sisi has always been guilty; on the other hand, her father is ill and she feels that she should shoulder part of the responsibility. So this matter has always kept her heart-wrenching.
At this moment, she hesitated for a while and said: "... I will ask the Majesty to cancel the original ban ~EbookFREE.me~ allow his father to come to Turui!"
Alcibidas shook his head and said: "Love Genis, don't go to kneel down! You know the temper of the father, he doesn't come to Turui, it is good for you and the children!"
Ai Ge Ni Si listened to this, opened his mouth, and finally remained silent.
Alci Bidas saw her and comforted her. "My father can't come, you can go to Lijim to see him."
Aunt Grace's eyes are suddenly bright: Yes, I can go to Li Jim, and my Majesty should not stop!
The two chatted in the carriage for a moment about the interesting things in the city of Lijim, and they went to the king's house.
Just got off the bus and saw a few people rushing over: "Hey! Hey!..."
According to blood, only the two children of Graces can qualify for Alcyidas, but in order to prevent the children from being separated by this kind of family relationship, Dave is also special with Alsie. Bidasi talked about letting all children call him from the beginning.
Therefore, the children who are at the forefront are not Apex and Ivya, but Briantes and Eunice.
"Hey, have you brought us a good gift this time?!" Briantes said, his eyes straight to the team behind the carriage.
