Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Very good!" Daveus finally stood up excitedly: "Little Herculed, you can think of these are really amazing!"

"Adult, this is not my own idea. It is a proposal after consultation with other members of the Road Bureau." Little Heracled said truthfully, he was puzzled: just some road reconstruction ideas, how to make This young, wise, godlike consul is so excited?

Of course he would not understand that what Davos thought at the moment was the national identity of the Greeks.Through the historical materials of the previous life and his personal experience in this era, he felt that the Greeks were indeed an excellent race, and they created brilliant civilizations in science, technology, culture, military, politics, sports, and other aspects. Not Greece, and later unified the Mediterranean?

Daphes believes that there are some fatal flaws in the national identity of the Greeks: too much pursuit of self to form unity, too unrestrained enthusiasm and lack of down-to-earth resilience, and the construction of countless magnificent temples, arenas, theaters and various Greeks City-states, however, cannot manage their cities neatly and cleanly. Therefore, starting from being a mercenary leader, Daveus began to use strict military laws to restrain scattered mercenaries. He deliberately slowly guided and changed the Greek people under his jurisdiction.

The Hercules Jr.’s road bureau was able to take note of these details and make changes. This earnest and pragmatic approach certainly made the doctor feel relieved. He praised: "My vision is not wrong, you are not only An excellent master of road and bridge construction, and can also become a good road chief and manage the road system in the Dionysian Union!"

Faced with praise, Little Heracled Jr. continued to say: "It costs a lot for the reconstruction of the avenue. I am worried about the old mansion--"

"Relax, the Senate will approve your proposal." Davers reassured: "The benefits that the avenue brings to Dionysia are huge. Reconstruction of the avenue will only allow people to travel and transport goods. Convenience, it’s a good thing, and it’s worth the extra cost.”

"Then I'm relieved!" Little Heracled sincerely thanked Daveus, it was this young man who let him and his father stop drifting away!It was this young man who let him find his own career!And it was this young man's support that made him stand out in Dionysia's politics!

"How is your father's health?"

Daveus' words made him recover: "It's not good. I often woke up at night and kept coughing. I can still see blood on my sputum... I told him to rest more at home, and the temple has Piasi. Kos stared, there would be no problems, but he just didn't listen!" Little Heraclid said worriedly.

Daphes sighed softly.In fact, Helps, who had seen Heracled's disease, quietly told him long ago: This stubborn thin old man is running out of time...

Daphes comforted softly: "Your father regards the newly built city of Turui as his own child, he can't rest assured! You can rest assured, I will let the doctors of Helps take care of your father at any time..."

……………………

Departing Heracled Jr., Davos stretched out, preparing to return to the backyard to accompany his sleeping wife and children.

At this time, the slave chief Ribazzo came in and reported: "Master, the four adults, Felix, Bagul, Weissba and Hermon, please see."

Of course, Davers knew why these people came. This was a matter of whether Diaonia's arrangement during this period would finally bear fruit. He had to shake his spirits: "Please invite the four elders to come in."

Speaking of Davers, there is also some helplessness. Public officials in several cities of the Dionysian Union, such as city chiefs, judges, tax officials, etc., all have office spaces-city halls, and as the highest authority to control the entire union In addition to discussing the state affairs, discussing and enacting bills in the Great Hall of the Senate, the elders have no personal office space, including the only governor and chief veteran Dave of the Union, so the living room of their mansion has become Dave’s usual office is the same for most other elders. The elders have discussed several times to build a magnificent office building for the elders of the entire alliance. Based on various factors such as capital and manpower, this proposal is only Stay on paper.

After the four people were seated, Felius, the military officer, said first: "Master Davis, we are here to ask you for advice. Should we start the plan to capture Grummentum?"

"How is Grummentum now?" Daveus asked with a serious expression. In fact, he had passed Aristilas to understand the situation in Lukalia.

"Master Sir," Hermon said, stooping. "Not long after Potentia repelled Pixis and occupied Grummentum, their chief, Puamott, led the main army back to Poten. In the city of Tia, only his brother Pollet led two thousand tribal warriors to stay in the city of Grumentum. Lusau, the son of Akpiru, the chieftain of Grumentum, also stayed in the city to assist Pollet manages Grummentum."

Daveus smiled: "That Lusau who was betrayed by his own people?! The Potentians really dare to use him?!"

"Sir, you are right, it is a mistake for Puamot to leave Lusau!" Weissba took the lead and sneered: "I have dealt with Lusau, he is bullying and hard-working, and extremely Revenge, it was he who led the army to drive my tribe into the mountains... It is said that when he was in Potentia, he flattered Puamott like a dog, maybe it was because of this that Puamott would It was wrongly believed that he would help Potentia stabilize the governance of Grummentum.

However, when Lusau returned to Grummentum, he received the trust of several tribes, his strength was enhanced, and his work began to become arrogant.Although the tribes who had betrayed him had been killed by Cincinnati, but Lusau did not let those peoples go, he often sent new tribes to provoke disputes, and then on the ground of disobedience, Punish, and take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle their settlements and pastures... He often promised Pollet's orders on the lips, did not execute them at all, and even acted against them.

And the warriors from Potentia relied on them as the winners, and also bullied the Grumentum in the city. It is said that Bollet was gentle on the tribes inside and outside Grumentum, but he could not control Staying with his men, it is even more impossible for Lusau to obey his orders.

Now, the Grumentum hate Lusau, hate Potentia!"Wesbah said, glancing at Hermon: "So the messengers I and Hermon sent to the city quietly contacted them, and they were warmly welcomed by them. They desperately hope that we will drive away the Pautians!""

"The Grumentum hate Lusaou, but we should thank him!" Davers said jokingly, and everyone laughed.

Daphes asked again: "What are they asking for?"

"They are willing to join Dionysia, but hope that after we seize Grumentum, they will be allowed to relocate to Niutum, and give them no less than the current residence and pasture land. Like other tribes, Dionia must not interfere with their management of the people, and for this reason they are willing to provide Dionya with the greatest help in seizing the city of Grumentum."

After hearing Hermon's words, Daveus slightly surprised: "Their request is so simple?!"

"At first they asked for more than that, but our people made them realize that they betrayed Lusau and Cincinnati, and now they have to drive away the Potentians, so they only rely on It’s only our Dionysian Union that makes it difficult for masters who want to shelter themselves in the future. This is not a wise man’s approach!” Hermon said somewhat complacently: “The Lucanians lived peacefully and peacefully in Dionia. The Alliance’s reputation for keeping its promises has led them to choose to work with us in the end."

"Since this is the case, why haven't they stayed in Grumentum after we won Grumentum? After all, they are their hometown." Davers was puzzled.

"Sir, that's because they are afraid!" Bagul said scornfully: "Because they think that Potentia and Picos will come to fight for Grumentum in the future, they dare not face their anger!"

"This bunch of guys understand people." Daveus murmured.To be honest, he left these capricious tribes in Grummentum, but he was not at ease. Since they voluntarily left with interest, of course, Davis had to vote for the peach: "Niutum also has extra ranch to accommodate Are they?"

"Not yet." Weissba said hesitantly. "However, I have negotiated with all the tribal leaders in Nyutum, and some tribes are willing to move to Grumentum, with these Grumentum tribes. Settlements, but they hope to be compensated by Grumentum’s iron mining rights.”

Davers shook his head gently.The iron ore of Grummentum has long been coveted by some veterans of the veteran's house. Elders such as Massisakus have sought him several times, hoping to contract the iron ore of Grumentum.

He pondered for a while and said: "It is impossible to own mining rights, but they can get part of the income from iron ore, how much is specific. Hermon you go talk to them, but it cannot exceed 20%, provided they provide manpower , Participate in mining and transportation."

"Okay, I will go to Niutum tomorrow to discuss with them." Hermon nodded.

"Are the soldiers ready? The raid plan has been drawn up?" Davers turned his gaze to Bagul.
