I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 112 Lavrio Has a Big Silver Mine
Just when Procne was hesitating whether to stop Philomela, Roy took the initiative to say to Philomela.

"Philomela, you cannot hold me like this."

Philomela said with a puffy face.

"Why can't I do what my sister can do? Now brother Luo Yi is a member of our family, and my sister has no problem getting close to my brother."

"But we are not real brothers and sisters! If the father-in-law and mother-in-law see—"

"I'll let Brother Roy go before I get home!"

After showing a playful smile to Roy, Philomela said to Procne again.

"Sister, would you mind if I share brother Roy with you?"

What else can Procne say—

Hearing her sister's inquiry, Procne said with a gentle and doting smile.

"Although others cannot, my dear sister can share everything I have."

Kaone, who followed Roy, Procne, and Philomela, looked at the backs of the three with complicated expressions on her face.

Although Kaone has many sisters, they are not close to her because of her appearance.

Procne and Philomela are so close that even their husbands can share their feelings, which both envy and incomprehensible to Kione.

The stone house of the Pandion family.

Roy led the three girls into the courtyard, and Philomela let go of Roy's left arm.

After the maids took off the strappy sandals, Roy led the three girls into the hall, and saw Pandion, Zeuxippo, and Erechtheus sitting around the stone table.

Seeing the four of Roy, Pandion took the initiative to speak.

"Loy! You migrated 4000 people from Serifos Island. This is a major victory worth going to the port to greet you in person, but do you know why I didn't greet you?"

Seeing the worried expressions of Procne and Philomela, Roy walked to the stone table, sat down opposite Pandion and said.

"My father-in-law will be dissatisfied with my victory because I moved the 4000 population of Serifos to Athens, which is a huge burden for Athens."

In this era, farming technology was very backward, and the territory of the Athenian tribes was very barren.

Even if olive oil can be exchanged for food, the food in Athens can only feed tens of thousands of people.

Roy moved 4000 people from Serifos Island to Athens. Although the population of Athens increased to [-], it also put Athens under food pressure.

Seeing that Roy knew the reason for his dissatisfaction, Pandion said expressionlessly.

"These Serifos cannot stay in Athens, they must be moved to other places."

"Father-in-law!"

Roy said immediately.

"Although these Serifos people will be our burden for a short time, when they settle down, they can not only provide us with taxes, but also provide us with at least [-] soldiers."

"Roy, I didn't say I would give up these Serifosians."

Seeing Roy's puzzled expression, Pandion continued.

"Our Attica peninsula used to have four big tribes. The territory of the Athenian tribe was the Greater Athens area, the territory of the Eleusis tribe was the Eleusis area, the territory of the Lavrio tribe was the Lavrio area, and the Marathon tribe My territory is the Marathon area. After the Eleusis tribe was annexed by us, both the Athens area and the Eleusis area are already our territories. I plan to attack the Lavrio area or the Marathon area, and use one of the areas as Plock Nirvana’s dowry is given to you. In the future, you will establish a city-state in this area, and establish a city-state that is in alliance with the city of Athens. I plan to move these Serifos to your territory, plus your territory originally population, your territory can directly have a population of [-] or [-]."

Pandion actually wants to drive himself to the Lavrio area or the Marathon area to establish a city-state——

Is this to keep himself away from the city of Athens in the future, so that he cannot compete with Erechtheus for the right of inheritance?
Roy came back to his senses and said.

"Father-in-law! In order to reduce the food pressure in the city of Athens, I agree to relocate the Serifos to the Lavrio area or the Marathon area. In order to resettle the Serifos as soon as possible, I will bring my followers and three A hundred Eleusis soldiers—”

Before Roy could finish speaking, Pandion said unhappily.

"Loy! As I said just now, I want to conquer the Lavrio area or the Marathon area myself as Procne's dowry. Now you just need to tell me whether you want to establish a city-state in the Marathon area or in Lavrio area."

The Marathon area has the famous Marathon Plain.

Hearing Pandion's words, Roy said immediately.

"I want to be in Mara—"

Before he finished speaking, Roy suddenly widened his eyes.

Lavrio--

I seem to have heard the name.

Lavrio... Lavrio...

Lavrio Great Silver Mine!
Thinking of the big silver mine in the Lavrio area, Roy hurriedly changed his words.

"I want to build a Lavrio city in the Lavrio area."

Although in this era, silver mines can neither be exchanged for food, nor can they be made into weapons, but can only be made into decorations.

But for Roy, with the Lavrio Silver Mine, Roy can mine silver mines to cast silver coins to promote currency.

Moreover, although the land in the Lavrio area is barren, the port of Lavrio is also an important port.

In other words, Roy can not only manufacture silver coins in the Lavrio region, but also establish a port city here that focuses on economic and trade.

"You choose the Laverio region?"

Pandion nodded.

"The Marathon region has the Marathon Plain. If you choose the Lavrio region, you must want to obtain food through sea trade. Since you choose the Lavrio region, tomorrow I will bring Erechtheus and five hundred soldiers to conquer Lavrio for you." Leo tribe. My child, after moving the Serifos people to the Lavrio region, you and Procne can establish a city-state with a population of 7000 there, with the city of Athens as your backing."

"Father……"

For his own happiness, his father Pandion wanted to take a piece of territory for himself as a dowry. This full of fatherly love made Procne's eyes shed tears.

Seeing Procne's appearance, Pandion laughed immediately.

"Silly girl! Roy is a victorious victor, and we should celebrate him happily. Now I will order the servants to prepare a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Roy's victory."

Then, Pandion ordered the head maid of the family to prepare a banquet, and also ordered the head servant to invite the little chief to the banquet.

Not long after, the four little leaders of the city of Athens came to Pandion's house one after another.

After the maids brought the sumptuous barbecue, fruit, white bread, and wine to the stone table, Aries and Captain Pallas also finished the task assigned to them by Roy and came to Pandion's house together.

Seeing Aries and Captain Pallas, Roy said to Pandion.

"Father-in-law, my followers Aries and Captain Pallas have made great contributions, so I want to invite them to the banquet, do you think it's okay?"

It was just that there were two more people attending the banquet, and Pandion had no reason to refuse, so he said without hesitation.

"Since they have credit, it is right to let them participate in the banquet."
