Chapter 670 032 The Acropolis Also Agreed on Three Chapters

"Your Excellency, can you understand our thoughts?"

"I know, it's all about the food. Angelos Jeloncas, right? I know you're talking about the food supply, not only in Athens, but also in Corinth and Pyerefus, and even these nearby places But we only have these people. As elders or commanders of the militia, you should also know that not one company can successfully make the city run. "

When Solovyov spoke like this, he also wanted to complain about the current sanitary environment in Athens, which is really not that good. Moreover, after the oppression of the Turks, there is indeed no oil and water, and it has become a dirty and messy place.

If you are looking for a place to live, it is more suitable to stay in the Acropolis. There is a villa left by the Ottoman Governor on the edge of the Acropolis, which can be regarded as a place to stay.

Therefore, what he demands now is mainly water supply and sanitation.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Have you ever thought, Angelos, that we should set up a management committee and everything should be done within this framework? Also, if there is a mayor now, what are his powers, is it a vote or a parliament? "

Solovyov was not a know-it-all. He did not know that Angelos Jelonkas was the second mayor of Athens. The first mayor came from the family that competed with him.

Just this bunch of gossiping things has already made Yelonkas' brain a little exhausted.

After all, he is still young and has no experience in dealing with a series of affairs.

For these people, their brains are not enough to deal with these things. Solovyov also thought about how to arrange things in Athens.

Finally, after looking at the debate at this level, he felt that after becoming the governor of Thessaloniki, he would continue to be the governor here.

Others may be doing official duties, but for him it is really all important work.

"If this is the case, our Elders Council here has been performing the duties of the committee."

"I know, but if the Council of Elders is in charge of everything, a few people can't manage so many things, not just the city of Athens and the Acropolis, but also the surrounding towns and villages. As for food supply, since we are from' When the Bosphorus comes, they will naturally send out troops to maintain order together with your militia. "

He also thought about it, it would be better to take over everything himself, starting with the army.

None of the Greeks present had any objections. After all, after the Russian troops came, they also played a role in maintaining order and regulating.

It seems that the two families were just arguing, but in another place they might have started a fight.

As for the mention of "Bosporus", it is because the Kingdom of Bosporus, a Hellenistic country in the classical era, is located on the Crimean Peninsula, and has long been a food supplier to Athens in the Black Sea trade.

It was a pun, but his knowledge level was probably higher than that of the locals, which made them speechless for a while.

"Let's all sit down and talk. We need to stabilize the situation here, including the surrounding areas, so that management must be stricter. In the past, in the era of the Turks, bandits were rampant. Many of our brothers were from the militia, and we all know that Turkey There are often a large number of bandits in the army. In this case, theft and robbery are inevitable. We should strictly control it now, but mainly against robbery, market manipulation, murder and arson.”

However, his "Three Chapters of Agreement" were different from Xiao He's, and his expression turned very stern afterwards.

"Anyone who violates these prohibitions will be erected on a gallows, and these criminals will be hanged in the square. As punishment, a sign will be hung below to clearly indicate the crime they committed."

It sounds very much like what the Germans did, except there are no telephone poles or street lights. Probably only the gallows can make the people understand the severity of the law.

After this, these decent people agreed that although the local bandits who had broken up nearby were driven away by the militia and the Russian cavalry that arrived first, they were still lingering in some nearby places and might threaten traffic. Wire.

In addition to these people, there are also some local gangsters.

Solovyov did not expect that he would have to fight bandits in Greece.

Bandits are naturally cunning, but their knowledge is also limited. Just the method of dealing with people like Xu Da Ma Bang Zuo Mountain Eagle is probably useful to them.

Bandits in the mountains and water bandits on the peninsula each have their own solutions.

Yelonkas agreed with his idea, and also said: "Although our militia has a small number of people, we can do whatever you want."

"Well, we need to increase patrols, set up sentries in the Acropolis, and set up inspectors in the market. If anyone dares to drive up prices, we will crack down severely, and the local black market must be banned."

Solovyov also knew that the local currency had always used inferior coins from the Ottoman Empire. In the early Ottoman period, the Akchi silver coins could still guarantee the silver content, but now the quality can be said to be very poor currency.

In addition to this, the quality of the Sultani gold coins minted according to the Dukat standard has also dropped significantly.

If it is more serious, the current currency depreciation will at least double the price of food. If it is more serious in some places, inflation will be out of control.

To stabilize prices, there is also the factor of coinage. In fact, Soloviev also found that the quality of silver rubles is relatively good, so they are also very popular in the market.

There is no other reason. Jews often intervene in the foreign trade of the Ottoman Empire, and they are also quite satisfied with the quality of silver rubles.

As for the recent Akche silver coins, they are no longer usable.

As for minting coins by themselves, there is really nothing to use with a makeshift team.

The silver coins carried by the Russian army can play a big role, so some silver rubles originally intended for military pay are also put on the market to recycle inferior Akche silver coins, while stabilizing prices.

The black market is naturally also a key target, and setting up patrols in the Acropolis is also for this purpose.

It seems that Athens has been stabilized soon, at least the market seems to be very stable.

As for moving in, it is naturally in the remaining governor's residence. After Soloviev settled the children, he took Katya and Mrs. Recamier to the Parthenon.

Now he is in charge of Athens, his power seems unlimited, and he can also offer these local nobles conditions that cannot be refused.

If a committee is established, this place is not big, but it has brought in many Athenians from the family, and naturally all aspects can be satisfied.

After all, the power is concentrated, and the benefits of each party are also uniformly distributed during the Russian military control, and the difference between them is not very large.

After the Russian army leaves, I am afraid that they will argue.

If there is any trouble, it is not something he can deal with recently.

Finally, I can relax temporarily, and it is not bad to see the scenery at the top of the Acropolis.

However, the status of these two people is obviously different. Katya is younger, and it is nothing for her to walk this distance.

For Mrs. Recamier, who always leans on the sofa, walking this way will hurt her feet, and she has to go all the way to the top.

"Michelle, I'm not like you. I don't feel tired even if I walk a long distance in a day. It seems that I have also lived the best years of my life. I can't be like Catherine. She walked all the way from the foot of the mountain to here. She looks better than you."

"So what?"

"If you carry me, it will definitely not work. Catherine and I are friends. She is also your wife. I am just the hostess of the salon, helping you to attract these customers."

"Then hire a sedan chair for both of you, just like the noble ladies in the Roman era. Several people carry you up there, and there are curtains outside to cover you."

"That's good. Sister Julie is not like me. I have been practicing dancing since I was a child."

This book has been updated recently in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!

Katya took this opportunity to say more. It can be seen that she is in good shape recently. Even when she was pregnant at home, she did not forget to practice in the dance studio.

The itinerary of the three of them did not seem strange to the Greeks. After all, this place has been ruled by the Turks for a long time, and the customs and habits have been greatly affected.

Moreover, in the ancient Greek tradition, polygamy was not a big deal for the nobles. It was not until the spread of Christianity that monogamy was considered relatively stable.

However, if someone repairs water pipes, borrows salt or does something else, it is not surprising. After all, they are all around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and everyone's customs and habits are more or less similar.

Solovyov already knew from Yeronkas that there were sedan bearers here, so he hired two sedans. He walked forward himself, followed by only a few staff and adjutants.

Clausewitz had no combat missions in central Greece during this period, so he left him to Langeron in Thessaloniki.

Solovyov himself was also happy with this. The upcoming 1811 would not be too easy.

In St. Petersburg, a grand reception may be held at this time, but Lisa is still alive, and Andrei is naturally unlikely to fall in love with Natasha.

It seems that everything is peaceful and everyone has their own lives, but it is also necessary to consider that the French emperor may come at any time. Who knows what changes will happen to domestic and foreign policies in the future.

In this case, we should also seize the last time before 1812 and enjoy life.

The reason for this is probably that he was too well prepared. He defeated Sweden and the Ottoman Empire on both wings of Russia, and also won a lot of honors. He has become a lieutenant general of infantry. In the next war, he will most likely command an army. After all, he is now the commander of the corps.

Now that we are in Athens, we must naturally visit the Acropolis.

Especially the scene here is different from the stereotype of a pile of white building ruins. There are even people living in the Acropolis. In addition, a large number of buildings have been accumulated in layers.

It’s just that the Parthenon is located at the highest place. When Soloviev was in St. Petersburg before, he often mentioned Greek mythology, so he naturally came here to see it.

The name of Athens also knows which god it worships, but the dilapidated appearance of the temple does not look very satisfactory.

The pillars here are not white now, but there are still some mottled marks, which can prove that these pillars had traces of color in the past. It can even be seen on some sculptures that many of them were originally painted.

As for the white ones, they are the result of subsequent restorations, which will inevitably arouse some people's suspicions. Therefore, there are strange schools such as historical inventors and pseudo-historians, but it is ridiculous to think about it. If you say this, just do Any place where cultural relics have been restored may be questionable.

What is saddening is probably those relief sculptures. 60% of the local sculptures were stolen by the old Lord Elgin, but he was unable to sell them at a high price when he brought them home.

Because the British in this era were not as devoid of virtue as their descendants, and they still knew some sense of shame, especially since the Greek civilization was considered the origin of European civilization, they naturally strongly opposed these thefts. Lord Ergin was completely bankrupt, and his children and grandchildren later did many ungrateful things in China and India.

All I can say is that sometimes the bad guys live too long.

"It's a pity that the reliefs in these places have been stolen, leaving only this bare trace. It has to be said that it is a loss. But that ridiculous Lord Elgin probably didn't even have the money to bribe the Grand Vizier. You can’t take it back, right?”

While saying this, Solovyov stopped in front of a stolen relief base to watch.

"What should we do?"

"I think some people are self-aware and should return the cultural relics at a suitable time. If it takes a long time, who knows if someone will be tempted to steal again? Unlike archaeological discoveries, Lord Elgin's The behavior was outright theft, and I don’t think it was the first time, nor will it be the last.”

“What about the French garrison in Egypt?”

Mrs. Recamier brought the topic to Napoleon's Egyptian expedition, and Solovyov said calmly: "After all, it came out during the digging of fortifications, and the Rosetta Stone was also taken away by the British. At least the French emperor wanted scholars to study these results carefully, so that during the invasion, good things could be done by bringing good things out of bad things.”

"What you said is really interesting."

"That's an interesting point of view. Do you two want to sit up here and enjoy the scenery?"

"Yes."

After Katya finished speaking, she had already jumped on the steps to the temple with bare feet.

This girl has really good physical strength. (End of chapter)
