Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

For the first time, the Turiyi elders were surprised to hear Daveus' ambitions.

Burcos widened his eyes and looked at Davies, who was standing in the circle talking and laughing, and remembered that he had invited him to Greater Greece, but only because he was a capable mercenary leader, but he did not expect This young man has such great ambitions, not only saved Turiri, but also wanted to change the political situation in Greater Greece!Because according to Daveus, the 600-member hall means how many city-states the union will merge!

The other Turiris were also whispering and talking, and some even asked others: "Who is Vespa?"

They were either skeptical or excited, but most of them did not dispute it. After all, with the help of Amendolara led by Daveus, Turui and they were lucky to be reborn, and they were not familiar with the young consul. Before acting, they did not rashly object.

Only Polyx asked: "There must always be a limit to the number of seniors, it is impossible to expand in this way indefinitely."

"Six hundred people! This new venue can only accommodate 600 people! By the time that the establishment is full, I believe that the situation of our alliance is already very different. At that time, there may be new bills and new parliaments. "Daveus said without hesitation.

Dalfes's self-confidence made Polyxis jealous. Knowing that the young man wanted to talk to him when he first met, he had to look at his face, so he couldn't help saying: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm alive I can’t see that day."

Everyone's face changed when he said this.

Daveus stared at him and said lightly, "Master Polyx, I believe you will see it!"

In an instant, Polyxis felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat. Although Davis did not rebuke him, he felt invisible pressure.He hurriedly lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"Admiral, the veteran of the veteran's house is a lifelong system. These outsiders become veterans in this way, and how do the citizens of this alliance become veterans?" Kunogolata busy removed the topic.

"Although your question has nothing to do with the question of whether to build the Senate of the Senate," I am still willing to tell you what I think." Daveus glanced back, organized the language, and slowly said: "We are now in public office It’s a one-year election. I don’t think it’s appropriate. For example, Amintas was chosen as the supervisor-"

Amintas immediately shouted: "Sir, I am not interested in architecture at all!"

Everyone laughed.

"I know, this is just an analogy." Daveus also smiled: "Amintas does not understand engineering and construction, but in this position, he must serve the people, so he must invest energy to understand, go After learning, until his initial knowledge of construction and understanding of the needs of the various regions of the Union, his term is about to come, then he has done little effective work in this year. If he is given another year, His work as a superintendent must have been much better than in the first year, because he has basically understood the league’s overall construction situation and the demand for public buildings in each city. So in the third year, his work efficiency is even more It’s higher because he is fully familiar with it, he can apply for funds from the senate, direct command of builders, craftsmen, laborers, slaves to build large-scale buildings and repair public facilities, and has already achieved some results. Is everyone right?”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Amintas shouted loudly: "Yes!!"

Everyone laughed again.

"So the election of a public office in the league every year is a waste of time and inefficiency. It should be broken, but the specific term of each public office will be discussed later. Now we will return to the issue of Kunogolata... …”Daveus said seriously to everyone, “According to the bill we are about to enact, every citizen has the right to hold public office. According to my thoughts, a citizen who has just turned 18 has the ambition to become a veteran of the senate, Then first he must have held three or more minimum public positions for five years, such as being a patrolman, firefighter, household scribe, etc. At the same time, he must also join the army to fight, participate in more than two major battles, etc. Eligibility to apply to the Senate for the next level of public office.

At this time, he had a wealth of low-level work experience, and was physically strong and familiar with warfare.The Senate can decide based on his performance, ability, and specialty whether to let him serve as an intermediary position such as captain of the city defense, fire chief, household registration officer, manufacturing supervisor, business officer, financial officer, inspector, etc. This is about 30 years old.

Then he must have held two or more intermediate-level public offices, and served as the company captain and even the captain of the army for three years. At this time, he should be 40 years old.At this time, his temperament will become stable, familiar with political affairs, able to deal with more complicated situations, and able to lead soldiers to fight.

At this time, he can apply to join the senate, and the senate determines whether he can become a veteran based on his performance.The Chief Executive of the city can only be served by the elders of the Senate. I wonder if you accept my idea?"

"Agree! Agree! Young people should exercise more!" the elders shouted in unison.

For at least 20 years, we need not worry!This is the idea of ​​a few mediocre people.

The veterans chosen in this way are definitely outstanding elites among the citizens, and the idiot like Neonsis acting as the chief general will never appear again in the alliance!This is the fact that Kunogolata fully agreed in his heart.

It seems that there is more to hold public office and accumulate administrative experience so as not to be looked down upon by young people in the future!Such thoughts are those of hard work like Hilos.

...

The vast majority of veterans agree with Davos's ideas, because whether it is to extend the length of public office and serve as the chief executive of the city, the restrictions are more to protect the interests of the veterans of the senate, but some people have raised objections.

"There are only a few public positions in the league. If you extend the term of office, I am afraid that many people will not be able to take turns." Ansitanos said with concern.

"Now there are only such positions, but it may be that some people will rush to the cities hundreds of miles away to take office. By that time, each city may need low-level registrars, low-level financial officers, and other low-level officials, and then by the senate Subordinate senior household registration officers, senior financial officers, and other senior officials come to control. Our senate hospital needs to establish a committee to supervise and evaluate the performance of these public officials."

The ambitions contained in the words of Davers made some people feel excited, and some people were doubtful, but in general everyone was very happy, because the establishment of a new committee, so many veterans who are idle Things to do, and the power is not small,

Only Mercis was anxious: "There will be so many public posts in the future, how much should their salaries cost?"

Everyone laughed again.

Davers had no choice but to say, "We will discuss the matter of compensation later."

The resolution of "Building a 600-member Senate Hall" was passed, and it is time to discuss building a temple.

As a matter of fact, there is no need to discuss the construction of a temple. It is sufficient to rebuild the new temple on the original old site as it is. The veterans do not have much objection to this. This resolution will be passed smoothly.At this time, Plycines stood up and expressed his opinion loudly: "I am against the reconstruction of the Temple of Apollo!"

Everyone was stunned.

Plesinas was very satisfied with the effect of this statement. He glanced at Daphes, completely ignoring the surprised expression of everyone, and continued to say aloud: "Because of our devotion to Apollo, there is no exchange for the sun god to us. The blessings of the free people! The betrayal of the free people, the occupation of Turi, and the whole city are crying, but Apollo is blind to this, and his inaction is not seen by the gods, so his temple was also rejected. , Turning to ashes in flames!"

Plesinas blamed Apollo for the destruction of the city of Turrii, which seemed to be blasphemy, but Apollo, as the guardian deity of Turiyi, didn’t even keep his own temple, which did indeed convince the gods After being reminded by Plesinas, the elders of Zhao felt a little strange: Did Apollo give up Turui?

Daveus looked at Plycines with interest.

"So, who saved the citizens of Turiyi and avenged Turiyi?! Undoubtedly, of course, citizens of Amendolara! But, which god is supporting the army of Amendora? Look at the flag held by the heroic civic soldiers. Wasn’t Pluto waving a double-stranded fork to bring death to the Crotonians! The same is Hades, blessing mercenaries in the hot spring swamp, let Reaper blew the wind of the underworld and easily took the lives of eight thousand Lucanias! Now Turi is reborn in the ruins, and Amendola La and Turi are also united as the Amendola army Hades, the patron saint, was also the Pluto who saved Turri twice, and it was Apollo’s concession, and we must not forget his gifts and blessings! Therefore, Turri’s new temple should be built The Temple of Hades, bless Turiyi forever and peace!!"

After Plycines finished, the elders were in an uproar.

Kunogolata turned his head to peek at Davos and found that he was also surprised. Was it the self-proclaimed idea of ​​the guy in Plesinas?

"Plesinas, you should know that Apollo is the main god worshipped by the great Greek city-state (the other is Hera). It is precisely because of his blessing that our ancestors can successfully reach Great Greece and build smoothly. Starting from city to city, Apollo is very important to the Turiris!" Ansitanos reminded.

"Of course I know. Citizens can still build the Apollo altar and continue to worship him, but as the protector of the city-state, his omission has ended his mission! We need new, powerful, and more willing to bless our gods Only in this troubled world will the Turiris be peaceful! Therefore, the Temple of Hades should be built in our acropolis!" Plesinus said proudly.

"In my memory, there are almost no public temples of Hades in Greece, let alone those who protect him as a city-state protector. Why? Because Hades’s terrible kingdom is horrible, people are afraid to fear him. ! I built the Temple of Hades. I’m afraid that no one would want to go to the Acropolis! Not to mention the jokes of other city-states!” Pollux stood up and protested loudly.
