Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 102 The First Elders' Meeting (1)

At night, the Amendolara Senate was lit with candles.

Davos, Cornelius, five prestigious citizens who had previously stood on the stage with Cornelius, as well as Sesta, Adrianx, led by Capus, Antonios The company’s captains, and even Daveus insisted on calling for Helps, Mercis, Ledes, Yasisters, and the captains of the teams, dozens of people gathered together to discuss Amendolara Of reconstruction.

As the only lifelong consul, Davers naturally became the chief veteran of the Senate, sitting in the middle of the round hall: "Citizens, the reconstruction of Amendolara has many affairs and time is pressing. We must first complete the right Electoral council member election."

Daveus solemnly said: "The Senate, as an important authority in the city of Amendola, is composed of the most experienced and wise elites among the citizens of the city. It raises advice and advice to the consul, and Candidate candidates for various senior officials for the approval of the ruling officer, to supervise the operation of the city-state, from auditing finances to the morals and customs of citizens, and have the power to propose bills. The senior officials of the city-state are also selected from the members of the Senate The elders of the Senate must also have certain administrative capabilities. This is what you once lacked as a mercenary. Fortunately, there are not many people in Amendora. You should learn from practice and be modest. Ask Cornellus, their respected old citizens..."

A 20-year-old young man in front of the old-fashioned teachings, a group of 30- to 40-year-old men nodded seriously at the back, this situation does not make Cornelius funny, he was surprised: This is said to come from A young man in a remote village of Thessaly who has never lived in the city is so familiar with the political structure of the city of Amendola, is it really the so-called enlightenment of Hades?!

In a trance, he consciously or unintentionally neglected Davis to partially tamper with the functions of the Senate.

"Now I propose Cornelius, Tritodemus, Stromboli, Scombras, and Rafaias as veterans of the senate."

Except that Cornelius was a veteran of the Senate before, the other five people were not. Davos paid back for their previous efforts to mercenaries and their platforms, but also fulfilled their commitments.With the exception of Cornelius, the other five couldn't help showing their faces.

"Agree!" The team officials at the meeting raised their hands. They were not completely blind to Daphes, but also out of guilt: they occupied the land of others and seized the rights of others, and they had to be compensated.

"Sesta, Adrians, Draco, as leaders of mercenaries, should enter the Senate." Daveus continued.

"Agree!" Not only did the team officials raise their hands to express their opinions, the new veterans also began to exercise their responsibilities.

At this time, Sesta whispered a few words with Adrians, stood up, walked to the center of the venue, and said aloud: "Adrians and Draco entrusted me to everyone here, especially the consul Thank you, adults! When we came to Great Greece, we only wanted to earn some money and maintain our livelihoods. I didn’t expect to be a citizen of Amendolara, and I didn’t expect to be able to enter the Senate! These are all the consuls and present. The graciousness you have given us, we have nothing to offer, and will contribute all our strength to Amendolara!"

"Wow" applause sounded, and the former mercenary officers applauded vigorously.As Davis watched Sesta return to his seat, he had a new impression of the mercenary leader who had only been in contact a few times.

"Philisius, Antonios, Capps, Amintas, Alexis, Hilos, Hironimos, Agassia, Epitanes, Cipit, Alpens, Ley Twelve senior mercenary officers of Mercenary, and two heads of their respective departments, Mercis and Helps, I recommend them to become veterans of the veteran's hospital." Daveus continued.

"Agree!!!" The voice of approval this time was even louder.

Daveus glanced at the familiar faces of Matonis, Olivers, Yasistes, Geogris, and Maltius sitting in the back row, and said calmly, "As for the captains and Other people, I don’t plan to recommend you to enter the Senate for the time being."

As soon as the voice fell, someone sighed in the back row, but no one dared to question Daveus.

Davis’s look remained the same, and he continued to explain: “Because most of you are still very young (Daveus obviously didn’t count himself when he said this, and others took it for granted). A few months ago, Still a soldier, lacking the experience of managing city-states and handling political affairs, but don’t be discouraged, as long as you actively participate in city-state affairs and strive to improve yourself. As I said before, the Senate is always open to excellent citizens in city-states!"

The words encouraged by Daveus invigorated the team leaders.

Daveus went on to say to the elders of the new elders' courtyard: "Although the elders of the elders' college have no salary, he is distinguished in the city-state, and I hope you will use your performance to prove that you deserve this lofty position. According to me The previous discussion with Cornelius is that once you enter the senate, you will be a veteran for life (this is the benefit Davos gave Cornelius to them, which is actually what Davis expects). But I don’t want to This is exactly the case. I will work with you to discuss and formulate some regulations on the elders of the elders. Anyone who is not qualified for this position or violates the laws of the city-state, I think I should consciously quit the elders or be removed by the elders."

When everyone heard it, they felt awkward.

"The elders' elders' election, I think it's over here. Cornelius, do you have anything to add?" Daveus politely asked his governing adjutant.

As the only former veteran in this venue, Cornelius had never had the opportunity to speak because of the strength of Davos. Now he feels it necessary to give these novices a good talk: "You, first of all, I want to let Everyone knows that not only the elders of the Senate have no remuneration, and other administrative positions in Amendolara don’t even have an Opel remuneration. It is the glory of every citizen to serve the city-state!...” Cornelius took the opportunity I educated these new citizens of Amendola, and then reminded Daveus: "There are a hundred veterans in the Amendola Senate, which is still not enough--"

"Idle first if not enough, and then fill in with a suitable candidate!" Davers interrupted him disapprovingly, so that he would not be constrained by the traditional system of Amendolara, let alone Cornelius. Rely on the old preaching.At the same time, he believes that the hasty replenishment of the elderly will only reduce the quality and ability of the elders.And more than 20 elders in the nursing home are enough for the population of Amendolara with only 5,000 people.

Cornelius opened his mouth without persuading.

"What administrative positions does Amendolara have now?" Daveus continued to ask him.

"The chief executive of the city, he is responsible for assisting the consul to manage city-state affairs, maintain urban order, and control litigation. It has departments such as patrols, fire brigades, and prisons. The position changes every year. The elders -" Korne Ruth looked at Daphes, and Davos was staring at him. He hesitated and changed his voice: "The candidate is proposed by the Senate, and it is up to the consul to decide..."

Daveus relieved himself secretly, and Cornelius was still acquainted: he was not very familiar with the various public offices of the Greek city-states. Athens and Sparta were just typical examples. There are hundreds of Greek city-states, and their politics Even if the system is roughly the same, there are many differences within.But he was very familiar with the system of Rome. He also took courses in this field in previous universities. The system of Amendola is similar to that of Rome. The position of city chief is somewhat similar to the legal officer in Rome.Therefore, in his heart, he said to Cornelius: "It seems that the duties of the Chief Executive of the City are not only the same as those of the ruling adjutant, but also more comprehensive and accepted by the citizens. I think you will be Cornelius. Well, the post of governing adjutant is my negligence, obviously superfluous, you can remove it."
