Chapter 515: In line with the heart

Troy Palace

The slaves in the palace were busy, Priamus pondered, tapping his fingers gently on the marble throne, and asked, "Do you want to bribe Zhucheng County?"

"Father, it's not a bribe, bribe is a bribe." Pei Ziyun did not disguise too much and directly stabbed into the real topic: "You once said that the more friends, the better, and the enemy must have a choice."

"I don't expect to change the position of those Greek city-states. After all, they are Greeks. If we really want to bribe them, we can't even move all the treasury and accept bribes' appetite is getting bigger and bigger. No one will be satisfied, so we can't buy out real allies."

"...Yes." Priamus nodded thoughtfully, looked at the young son, waiting for Prince Paris to continue, and he became more and more satisfied with the son.

“But it’s not a bad thing to have more friends.”

"Even if the response is slower and the number of troops sent is less, the accumulation of more than a dozen or dozens of city-states is a big number, and it can even change the entire battle situation."

"So, I will visit the city-state along the way, and use the right gold and the right friendship to win the right friends."

Pei Ziyun means this. When he talks about this, he stayed there. One more or one less hundred team in a city-state, which doesn’t seem to be much, but the total number is quite considerable.

"Good, you have a good idea." Priamus said straightening, "Well, I will open my warehouse and give you gold and bronze to carry out your plan."

"I will offer sacrifices to the great Zeus, and may God protect you."

Mount Olympus

Zeus, who raised his glass to drink divine juice, could hardly hear Ningfu's singing. He reached out and brushed through the thick bloody clouds, making the conversation at the Troy Palace in the lower realm clearer. After a long time, he murmured: "What a handy!"

"It's so in line with my wishes. Even I feel that fate is going to be the best for me."

There is no doubt that Prince Paris's activities have changed some scripts, but compared to the original script, this is more in line with Zeus's wishes.

Zeus couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

port

A large sea boat slowly sailed into the port, and a slightly thin man slowly got off the boat. After careful identification, he found that it was Gusne who had been in the Amazon for half a month.

After half a month of careful selection, Gusne finally completed his mission on Amazon and brought back a group of strong slaves to Prince Paris.

As soon as he got off the boat, a servant who had been waiting for a long time came forward: "Is it Lord Gusne? The prince told you not to go to the mansion, he would come directly."

"Well, I understand." Gusne said lightly.

His positioning on Prince Paris is becoming clearer and clearer. Where Prince Paris is there, he is an obedient servant. Without Prince Paris, he is the "steward" responsible for helping Prince Paris. His understanding of the people below is to always maintain majesty.

Gusne got on the ship again and came to the cabin of the escort slaves. The cabins were made into compartments, and each two slaves had a small compartment.

In this era, sailing at sea is a very difficult thing, and accidents are prone to occur. It is normal for ordinary slaves to die halfway through illness due to the crowded cabins.

These are skilled slaves bought at a high price, and any losses are unbearable to Gusnie, so he was very concerned about the living environment of these slaves and tried to avoid any accidents on the way back.

"Come on, all of them come out. Prince Paris will come to see you in person later." Gusne shouted and led the slaves out of the cabin.

After looking closely, there were more than a dozen male ***little men, all of them were strong and strong. It seemed that Gesne had spent a lot of effort to choose during the half month of Amazon.

The slaves followed the ship and stood in line. Gusne said, "Listen, this is no longer Amazon, no one here regards you as a slave. As long as you do it well, Prince Paris will not treat you badly."

"You're right." A voice came from a distance, full of energy.

Looking at it, it was a young man with a soldier. He was wearing a white trouser inside, a leather armor on the outside, a belt made of bronze rings on his waist, and a short sword hanging on it was Prince Paris.

Gusne hurriedly said to the slave, "This is Prince Paris, your future master."

After saying that, he went to Pei Ziyun and said, "Prince Paris, I completed the task you assigned this time. It took me half a month to carefully select. Look, these slaves are all strong and skilled slaves, and they are all descendants of failed nobles in Greek city-states."

"Of course, there is no such thing as planting slaves here."

When Pei Ziyun heard this, he glanced at the strong slaves standing in a row. They were all very strong and much better than the slaves he bought in Troy. He was very satisfied with Gusne's efficiency. He tapped his belt with his fingers and said, "Well, Gusne, you did a good job this time."

Pei Ziyun gave Gusne a smile.

The slaves all lowered their heads in awe. On Amazon, the disobedient people died.

He only listened to the master saying: "As long as you obey orders in the future, there will be no punishment. If you make merit, you will be rewarded, and even freedom will be obtained."

Some slaves heard that they could gain freedom, and a hint of light flashed in their dull eyes.

Pei Ziyun nodded and waved his hand to the soldiers and said, "Take them down and place them well."

"Gesne, please go with me to see."

"Okay, Prince Paris."

Gusne thought Prince Paris was going to check the ship he came back, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy. He had done some extra things more or less without telling Prince Paris. Now there are several boxes of goods he bought from outside on the ship.

As a result, I followed behind and saw that Prince Paris did not board the ship, but went further away. Looking in this direction, I saw that there were several warships parked at the port in the distance.

This time, there were not only one warships, but seven, which directly formed a fleet, and there were even several warships and soldiers training in full swing.

Pei Ziyun took Gusnie to one of them. When the soldiers saw that it was Prince Paris, they saluted them.

Gusne followed Pei Ziyun into a room and saw a girl sitting in the room. The girl looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and Gusne didn't care.

But he heard Pei Ziyun pointing: "This is Ke Sailya, the current clerk, you will work together in the future."

Pei Ziyun looked at Ke Sailia with a smile. Ke Sailia has withstood the test in the past ten days and now has more than a dozen people under her command.

He had already done everything he had done if Ke Sailia didn't stand the test, she would still arrange other jobs for her. Unexpectedly, Ke Sailia has good abilities.

"Prince Paris, my respected master." Keselia bowed and said when she saw Pei Ziyun coming in.

"Koselia, this is what I told you about Gusne, who used to be a minstrel."

Koselia looked at Gusne: "Hello, dear Lord Gusne."

Gusne thought that this girl was a female slave and did not pay much attention. When he heard that she was a clerk, he didn't know what Prince Paris had a clerk, so he immediately took it seriously and greeted him with a smile: "Koselia!"

Pei Ziyun looked at Gusne and Koselia getting to know each other and said, "Gusne, Koselia, the king has sent me to Greece, and he is requesting to set off immediately."

"Gesne, you are in charge of commerce. I only give you a day to fill all three of my ships with cargo, and it will sail with the warships."

"Koselia, you are responsible for the documents that record goods and expenses."

"It turned out to be a supervisor." Gusne thought to himself that he was in charge of commerce before, but no one had supervised him. He had the final say on how to execute the goods and expenses. Now, he suddenly came in, which disappointed him a little, but this was also a matter for the noble family.

"Okay, Prince Paris." Gusne and Koselia responded.

"There is one more thing, Gusne, you need to take it seriously." Pei Ziyun said.

When Gusne heard that it was a separate task assigned to him by Prince Paris, he couldn't help but straighten his back, listening very seriously and carefully.

"I hope that every time you go to a place, you will contact one or several local minstrels and establish a good relationship with them. Can you do it?" Pei Ziyun asked.

"If the prince can give me a batch of gold just by establishing a good relationship, it will definitely be possible." Gusne replied confidently.

As a minstrel, he was very confident in finding these minstrels and having a good relationship with them, because he knew very well what these minstrels needed, as long as Prince Paris provided him with gold.

Pei Ziyun smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'll ask someone to send the gold here later. You can go and fill my ship with cargo now."

"Okay, Prince Paris, I'll take my leave first." After that, he slowly retreated.

Seeing Gusne leave, Pei Ziyun breathed a long sigh. Seeing Keselia taking a pen and parchment were about to go out, she hurriedly shouted: "Slow."

Koselia stopped and looked at Prince Paris with some confusion.

"Keselia, what are you going to do?"

"Prince Paris, didn't you say you wanted me to record the cargo and expenses that sailed with the warship? I was about to go and record it." Keselia replied.

"Well, don't be too anxious. Let Gusne wait first. I have something to tell you here."

Koselia blinked her eyes, looked at Prince Paris, waiting patiently for the order.

Pei Ziyun was silent for a while and said, "When Gersne contacted those minstrels, remember to record the list, write them according to the list, write them a letter every month, and send gifts once a year. These are all your future work."

"Okay, Prince Paris." Koselia's answer was concise.

When Keselia withdrew and followed Gusne. Looking at the two of them leaving, Pei Ziyun smiled and looked at the map.

"Karcidisi, Anphis, Lacia, Marathon, Athens, I really want to see it."

"There are Dereth, Crete, Sparta next."

"In the middle, I have to go to the island of Lower Los. Legend has it that this is the place where Artemis and Apollo were born. It's a long journey for me to go to sacrifice."
