Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 233 The post-war meeting of the Senate (4)

Everyone thought about it and shook their heads.Athens may be the richest, but it cannot provide citizens with so many benefits. As a city-state with a long history, too many vested interest groups, deep-rooted legal systems, and traditional ideas are that it cannot achieve the new city-state alliance Dior All Niah did.Although, it is considered to be a civilian in the Greek city-state.

"Can Persia, a powerful country in the Mediterranean Sea, do this?" Plycines asked again.

The people shook their heads directly: Persia, that is a dictatorship where nobles crushed civilians and Persians crushed other races.

"Then Dionysia is the Elysee Paradise in the Greek city-state! I believe that the Greeks will surely flow into Dionysia more positively after knowing the rights enjoyed by our citizens!" Plesinas affirmed Said.

"Plesinas's guess should be right. Before the war with Crotone, the number of freemen in the port of Turui has been growing... And after the war, we have fulfilled our promises, even for the reserve citizens. Once the land is over, there will surely be more immigrants pouring into Dionysia. We have to be prepared to relocate them." Kunogolata took the lead and reminded everyone in advance.

Everyone listened, happy and worried.

"Now, please let me add another right for the citizens of Dionysia." Daveus continued: "I just noticed that everyone was hearing Kunogolata saying'more immigrants will come to Dai Oria's, they all seemed a little worried. What are they worried about? I think more is concerned about the difficulty of the Dionysian Union to maintain a good urban order! Worried about so many immigrants entering, and most of them are civilians, without education, After they all become Dionysian citizens, the overall quality of our citizens will decline! It will drop sharply!—"

"Sir Daffers is right!" Turiyi veteran Mathisakus immediately got up and accused loudly: "Now Turrii has such a sign, especially in the port, those new in various accents Immigrants are rude, uncultivated, and scold, fight, and fight every moment. I heard that the Port Patrol will deal with dozens of conflicts a day. Isn't that true, Kunogolata?"

Kunogolata shook his head and seriously corrected: "It's not that serious. Liberal people want to successfully become alliance citizens, but they dare not break the law and discipline. According to statistics, no more than five a day, and before the patrol arrives, most Have solved it by themselves."

Mathisakus wasn't interested, and muttered, "There are conflicts three or four times a day, and it's a lot..."

Polyxes looked at Mathisakus, his eyes flashing.

Davers laughed: "Because of these problems, my next proposal is to set up a school in Turriy, and all Dionysian citizens can let their Children go to school to learn literacy, math, drawing, music, sports and sports..."

school?!Everyone pondered this new word.At this time, the Athens school had not yet been established, and the way the Greeks were educated mainly relied on rich nobles and rich people to hire private teachers, purchase learned slaves to educate their children, or famous scholars to start private schools and charge no It is unheard of for Philippine tuition fees, enrollment of disciples, and a school funded by the city-state to collectively educate citizens’ children!But the veterans were very interested. Most people felt that this really helped solve the problem of low cultural quality of Dionysian citizens, so they asked questions one after another.

For the school, Davers is familiar with the past experience combined with the actual situation of this life, he easily answered their questions.

For example, Amintas said: "What if citizens want to go to school?"

Dave's answer is: "A special class for educating adults is set up in schools, and its curriculum and education methods are different from those of young children, so it is convenient to quickly eliminate illiteracy."

For example, the question of Kunogolata: "The children are different in age and the original education level is different. How can they benefit and improve in school?"

Davers’s answer is: “Establish three levels of elementary, intermediate, and advanced education. Children who have not learned anything enter the elementary class and begin to learn to read, count, and read articles... for those who already know literacy, there is a certain basis for calculation. Children enter the intermediate class, learn how to use words to make sentences, write articles, and can perform complex calculations... The advanced class mainly masters the rhetoric of words, speeches, arguments, and calculates a lot of complicated data... This is for training lawyers, accountants, Intermediate officials and other senior talents in the league are preparing..."

………

The veterans were satisfied with the detailed answers of Daveus, and even Kunuo Gata, who rarely praised others in public, couldn’t help but marvel: “Master Sir, I really think that you have been favored by the gods, otherwise it is impossible With so many brilliant ideas, there is also a complete implementation plan!"

Kunogolata's words were recognized by the elders.

Daphes smiled and continued: "I propose Ansitanos to be the head of this school."

"Agree!" The elders agreed.The most learned in the senate is undoubtedly Ancitas, who was a disciple of Herodotus. Of course, some people think that: Davis, who had been illiterate but rumored by the Pluto, has always shown mystery. Knowledge is hard to estimate.

"Ah? I..." Ansitanos, sitting in the back row, wandering around the world, was awakened and hurriedly shook his head and refused: "I can't, I don't have time! The history of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides of Athens "It has been completed, it is said that it has been well received by the Athenians, but my "History of Great Greece" has not been written yet!"

In response to repeated requests from the elders, even Davos and everyone made a commitment: all elders would do their best to contribute materials for his creation, and he would also try to cooperate with someone who wanted to interview someone...

Ansitanos reluctantly accepted this, but he immediately complained: "Masters, not that I was unwilling to manage the school just now, you must know that the Dionysian Union is only the city of Turui, the citizen of Dionysian. There are thousands of children! And the governor, you said that you want them to learn Greek writing, arithmetic, painting, music, etc. How many teachers do you need?! The Dionysian Union can’t find such a teacher. Many teachers come to teach the children!"

After he said this, everyone immediately realized that this was indeed a problem.But Davis obviously considered it long ago, and he said without hesitation: "The teachers of the Dionysian Union are not enough, but other city-states have it. We urgently need to channel leaf pine herbs, we can specifically reduce tariffs for it, To motivate the Cyranica merchants to ship it in large quantities to the port of Turui. We lack teachers, so of course we can also formulate a preferential bill for them to encourage outstanding scholars from foreign countries to come to Dioni actively Ya... are you right?"

The veterans thought deeply, Ansitanos urgently asked: "What kind of bill?"

"My proposal is... All Gentiles who come to Dionysian to work as a teacher, even slaves, will immediately receive Dionysian citizenship! But the premise is that they must first pass the assessment of the special agency of our Senate to determine them Have the ability to be a teacher... Um... this assessment can be led by Ansitanos. But they have the citizenship and become a teacher in the alliance school, they must devote their entire lives to teaching children the knowledge, if they change halfway , Then citizenship will be immediately cancelled and deported! In addition, alliance citizenship only applies to teachers themselves, and their children cannot be inherited unless they are also engaged in the profession of teachers..."

Everyone was moved by Davos' proposal.

At the beginning, Ansitanos, who didn’t care about being a school administrator, said at the moment: "Since before, adults Plesinas and Kunogolata thought that the Greeks envy Dionysian citizens. To become a citizen of Dionysia, then I think Dionya’s lack of teachers will soon change! ... I remember that there was an alliance bill that was specifically formulated for doctors, and now it has been formulated for teachers. Their proposal. The adults, doctors and teachers are two sacred professions besides the god priests, one is to heal the human body, and the other is to improve the mind of the people. I am grateful for the foresight! I also hope for your support! The Dionysian Senate has fully demonstrated respect for knowledge! It will make our alliance not only prosperous in trade, strong in military affairs, but also brilliant in culture! The Dionysian Union will become a great one City-State Alliance!!!"

…………………………

As the meeting progressed to dusk, two others said they had proposals to say that the veterans had to let the guards light candles to continue.

The first speaker to speak was Scombrus. He first apologized and said: "I'm sorry, but it took everyone a long time to go home for dinner. I just consulted with Davis, Capps, and Hiro in detail. Nimus, they, I learned that there is a big swamp in the north of Crimea, especially in the spring, when the rain is flooding, the swamp is still expanding, affecting road traffic, and occupying farmland...I was thinking about us Can you put in a lot of labor to fill the swamp and build a dam for the Lacoeli River, which not only ensures the safety of the territory, prevents epidemics, but also adds a large area of ​​fertile land!"

"Your old man has just been elected as the chief executive of Crimea, and has not yet taken office, began to implement your management of Crimea!" Protsilaus laughed and quipped.

"How? Your kid has an opinion?!" Scambras glared at Amendolara, a junior who grew up watching him grow up.
