Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daveus patiently explained to him: "Forcing them to work with sticks and voluntary work, which is better?"

"Of course the latter."

"More importantly, I don't want them to be slaves, but want them to be citizens of Amendolara. Only in this way will we continue to strengthen our strength! And you think about it, one day, when in the Lucania region When the indigenous people trembled in fear under the threat of our shield spears, they saw that some of the soldiers in our ranks had the same appearance, spoke the same language, but wore Greek armor and ate Greek food, and The Greeks are not chatting and talking, what would they think?"

Yasisters pondered for a while and said uncertainly: "They may surrender."

"Yes, Bagul. They are role models for the Lucanias. Let them know that they will surrender to us. Instead of being abused, they will live well. Think about the way Persia treats aliens, and we will be better than Persia. Do better, because we will treat aliens more equally, and accept them more forgivingly as our citizens, so that they have the same rights as us. Only in this way will we eliminate their estrangement and let Amen Dolara quickly became powerful!..." Daphes said seriously and passionately. On the road of this era, he did not want to be a lone traveler. He wanted to spread his political ideas to the surroundings. People, infect them, and change the narrow city-state thinking of the Greeks.

Yasisters was sincerely convinced: "Admiral, you think so far!"

"Yasi, I heard that you did not choose a wife this time. Are you interested in choosing a Lucanian woman to be a wife. Otherwise, I will ask Bakul if he has a sister, so you just do it with him Relatives." Daveus said jokingly.

Yasistus immediately remembered the vicious look of Bagul and shook his head again and again.

"Seriously, if you really married a Lucania woman. When one day we conquered the Lucania region, maybe I will appoint you as the Governor of Lucania." Davers was half joking and half serious. Said.

Governor?!Asistos remembered that when he was in Persia, when he saw the governor of Asia Minor, Tisavnice, as a young man, he was really moved.He did not think about it. In the entire Mediterranean region, the position of Governor is only available in the Persian Empire, and the Governor can only be appointed by the King of Persia...

Looking at the back view of Yasisters left, Davers still wondered: Should he set up a low-level public office under the governor-the clerk, so that Yasisters can do things justly, and Daves can do it himself Has nurtured a group of like-minded young people who will become his good assistants to govern the city-state in the future.

Davos was thinking about it, and Christosia came in and told him: "Olivers is here."

Davers was a little puzzled: What's wrong with this guy coming so late?

Oliver's voice has been heard: "Master, the governor, your house is so big! If no one leads, I will definitely get lost... yo, this marble statue is really good, which master's masterpiece? Look at the outlines of these muscles..." Oliver East said in a riddle.

Daveus glanced at him: "If you don't talk about business, I will drive you out!"

"Don't! Don't! I really have something to ask for your help!" Olivers hurriedly said: "Master, the governor, you must help me with this matter!" He begged.

"What's the matter?" Daveus appeared impatient and became more interested in Oliver's affairs.

Oliver suddenly twitched and whispered?: "I think... I would like to ask you to help me... propose to Mariji."

"What? Promise?" Daves didn't hear clearly this time.

Oliver took a breath and said aloud, "I like Mariji's daughter Mitra and I want you to help me kiss Mariji!"

Daphes understands this time: It turns out that in the past few days, they are really joking about Matonis!When did this guy fall in love with Mariji's daughter?

Davers couldn't remember what Marighi's daughter looked like. She only trancely remembered being a petite, shy girl.

"Do you like people, do people like you?" Daveus first had to figure this out.

"She certainly wants to be with me!" Olivers said confidently.

"Does Mariji know about this?" Daveus asked again.

"He doesn't know. However, Mitra's mother agrees with the two of us, but she can't be the master."

Of course she can't be the master.In this era, whether it is Greeks or Persians, men are the masters.If he had put it aside, with Oliver's bohemianness, Davers would not even consider this matter, but since that happened, he did change a lot, not only to rob women, but to discourage others.One is his own life-saving benefactor, and the other is a person he will consider to be an arm. Davers is happy to see their union: "I will propose marriage to Mariji and try my best to match the two of you, but the key depends on your Performance." As soon as Davers's voice fell, Olivers jumped up with joy: "Great! Great! Davos, you are such a great man!" Olivers excitedly gave Davos a tight Hug.

Watching Oliver sing and jump out of the courtyard, Davers smiled dumbly: he was actually issued a good card!

…………………………

The next morning, single new citizens protested in front of the elders’ courtyard, demanded that their spouse be resolved, and made a proposal: they can accept the marriage of a Lucania woman.

The Senate held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. In the continuous protests outside the hospital, the elders headed by Chief Elder Daves reluctantly passed a resolution (Daveus and the new citizen elders are all acting) And agreed that the new citizens marry the Lucanian women who were the enemies of Amendolara.

At the same time, the Senate also passed another resolution: to convert all Lukanian captives into city-state slaves and work for free until they die.But no Amenorarans should harm these slaves because they are the wealth of the city-state.

After this, Davers proposed another motion.

Seeing that Davos had to propose a case again, Cornelius was unconsciously nervous, because Davos’s proposal repeatedly broke the tradition of Amendolara, leaving Cornelius with a slight mental depression, but This proposal is relatively normal.

Before attacking the Lukalia tribal coalition, Davers made a promise to the slaves: to give them freedom after victory.

After annihilating the Allied forces of Lucania, Turui has brought back the more than 1,000 slaves they sent to Davers and returned to the city. At the same time, he also brought back Daves’ request to honor their pre-war commitments and give them free.The remaining three hundred slaves were looted by the mercenaries all the way in Persia, and accompanied them to experience countless battles and tribulations. According to Daveus, these slaves are our own people.Therefore, more than two dozen veterans passed Davos' proposal unanimously.

However, another Daphus proposal was controversial: the slave who became a free man could leave freely, and could also apply to become a citizen of Amendolara.

Stromboli first stood up and expressed strong opposition: "Amendolara has never had this precedent, let slaves become city-state citizens! If you do this, Amendolara will become the laughing stock of Great Greece!" The approval of an old citizen.

At this time, Antonios rose up and retorted: "Please note that after the previous bill was passed, they were no longer slaves, but free citizens. Every city-state has a precedent for accepting free citizens as citizens, and Amendola La is even more so, tolerantly accepting outsiders like us and making us citizens of Amendola, including a Persian! Why can't we be tolerant to these freemen! And we are already discussing about Dave The "Immigration Act" proposed by Lord Stanley now considers those who were former slaves, now freemen, and who have made contributions and sacrifices for Amendolara as the first beneficiaries of this bill, isn't it right?"

The new citizens all agreed, and the old citizens were speechless.

Amintas stood up and told the story of being saved by a slave while fighting in Persia. Finally he said aloud: "They are not slaves, but our brothers! We should give them back!"

Helps briefly described how the slaves in the medical camp assisted the doctors day and night to rescue the wounded.

Then, Mercis also exaggeratedly told how his slaves quickly calculated money, distributed materials, and made no mistakes, thus providing the best guarantee for the mercenary to win the battle.And proudly declare that they are the best managers!

Although there were only twenty-one people in the meeting place, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and no proposal was needed at all for Daves. The proposal was passed. After discussion, the resulting resolution was: These free citizens applied for Amendola La citizens to be confirmed After that, there is a two-year investigation period. Within two years, if you live in the territory of Amendola, you must learn to speak Greek, be familiar with the laws of the city of Amendola, and have no record of violations of the law. Two hundred drachmas can get preliminary citizenship.When there is a big operation in Amendora, if you can participate voluntarily, such as war, you can also shorten the inspection period according to the merits made.

At that time, the veterans did not realize that the passage of this bill and the last "Daveus Immigration Act" had a profound impact on the history of Mediterranean Greece in the future, and the example of Mariji and these three hundred slaves becoming Greek citizens became the future. An important precedent for the acceptance of free people and slaves by the city-state under Firth's rule (that is, legal principles to follow).
