Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

262 Dionysia's powerful secret? (two)

"Oh, which two?" Carios moved his body forward curiously.

"The first one -" Ciplos put a wooden sign on the table without hesitation, said: "Anyone can apply for Dionysia citizenship, whether it is a foreigner, a captured enemy state Citizens and even liberated slaves can become Dionysian citizens as long as they meet the requirements of the bill..."

Kanios breathed a sigh of relief, and Elia would also grant citizenship to some free city-states, but that was all because of the war, the shortage of soldiers and labor, and the opening of citizenship like Dionysia all the time. : "This...this... In this way, does Dionysia's citizenship seem less important? Can't enjoy so many alliance rights? And what kind of people can become alliance citizens? How to maintain the order of the city-state ?..."

"Dionysia's citizenship is very attractive!" Faced with many questions from Kanios, Ciplos shook his head and said with a deep voice: "If you don't say other rights, every new citizen can be divided into ' The right of five acres of land is enough to make free people crazy. Not to mention, according to the military service gained by the citizens, they can be divided into new land."

"This... is this true?" Kanios felt incredulous. He could not help swallowing a spit. For the citizens of Elia in the city, the land was very attractive to them.

"Of course it is true. Otherwise, in the decisive battle between Dionia and Crotone, why did Dionya with less troops easily recruit 7,000 freemen without spending money, and the freemen were extremely brave The help of Dionysia to defeat Crotone is due to the temptation of Dionysia’s citizenship.” Cipros looked around the diners who were talking heatedly and turned around and continued, “As for whether it will disrupt the order of the city-state , There are at least 20,000 or 30,000 Dionysians present at the ceremony today?"

After this reminder from Cipros, Kanos immediately understood: "I saw a union celebration or festival for the first time with so many people participating, and there was no big mess, I am afraid not only because of Large numbers of patrolling soldiers are there to maintain order."

Ciplos responded in a low voice: "Of course, this has a lot to do with the law of the Dionysian Union on citizens and even free slaves. The city of Turuii has more patrols than other city-states. Courts. These courts not only try cases and disputes, but also record the names of people who violate the law. If they are free citizens, it will affect whether they can obtain citizenship on time; if they are citizens, they will affect their access to land allocation. …So for a better future, most people living in Dionysia will consciously abide by the laws here..."

"This is really a great solution! Over time, the Dionysians naturally developed the habit of obeying the law. No wonder..." Kanios couldn't help but praised: "This solution fundamentally solves Dior Niah may have caused chaos due to people from complicated sources. I don’t know who proposed it..."

He saw a smile on Cipros's face, and he immediately awakened: "Is it Davos again?"

Ciplos nodded.

Kanios shrugged helplessly, and he had nothing to say to Dionysia's governor.

"What is the second law?" Cipros' familiarity with Dionysia and his unique insights deepened Kanios's deep understanding of Dionysia, so he was anxious to know more.

"Zibang." Ciprous spit out two words in his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a strange expression: "Dionysia's approach to the Zibang or the occupied territory is very different from most Greek city-states."

"What's the difference?" Kanios was attracted by Ciplos again, and asked urgently.

"Astrum, do you know?"

"I heard that it used to be a town of Brutus, and later became a sub-state of Crotone. I heard that it has joined the Dionysian Union now."

"Take Asprostum, what did the Crotonians do when they occupied it? Killing the Brutus in the city and relocating Crotone citizens without land In the city of Asprostum, the same system as Crotone was implemented in this town." Cipros pierced a piece of beef belly and threw it into his mouth, with a mocking smile, said: " The residents of Asprostum are Crotone citizens, and the government is Crotone’s polity. It stands to reason that Asprostum has completely become a part of Crotone, but why are these In ten years, there have been two riots in Asprostum, demanding to leave Crotone?"

"There have been two riots in Asprost?" Kanios was slightly surprised. In his impression, Asprost was a town in Crotone.

"Yes, twice." Cipros stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "Because Crotone quickly calmed the riot and deliberately blocked the news, you Elia are far north, I don't know it is normal... …Although Asprostum was indeed completely attached to Crotone at first, the situation changed 20 years later. According to Crotone’s laws, only As, whose father is a citizen of Crotone Proustum men can only become Crotone citizens. Over time, some Gentiles came to Asprostum and married women in the city, but the children born could not become Crotone. Inner citizens can only become citizens of Asprostum. There are also some people who were born and grown up in this small city, and they have more feelings for Asprostham than Crotone, not Willing to apply to become a Crotone citizen...

In this way, there are more and more real Asprostian citizens in this small city than the Crotone citizens, so their willingness to defend only the interests of Asprostum naturally exceeds To protect Crotone’s interests.For Crotonians, because of the blood relationship getting farther and farther, they treat the Asprostum more and more like slaves, not their own people.When the war occurs, let the Asprostum rush to the forefront; when the land disputes occur, favor the Crotones... so that the Asprostum resent the Crotones Deeper and deeper, how can they not demand independence?!"

Kanos heard this, nodded, and took a sip of beer.

"The measures taken by Crotone against Asprost after the riots were to kill the people who resolutely rebelled against Crotone, and then migrate a large number of Crotone citizens to this small city, while supporting close Crowe Tony’s Asprost, and let Crotone citizens control the highest power of Asprost. But after more than ten years, Asprost still rioted again, The situation is the same as last time... As far as I know, the Greek city-states generally deal with their colonies and occupied territories in this way. Asprostum is very close to Crotone, and Croto There is also a powerful city-state in Greater Greece, which has enough power to control the small town of Asprostum. Such things still happen. Those child states are far from the mother state, or the mother state is not strong. It’s very common to be unable to unite with Zibang to strengthen one’s own strength later. This is quite good. What is even more terrifying is that the motherland becomes an enemy with Zibang. There are also many examples of this!... …" Ciprous sighed.

His words reminded Kanios of Elia’s motherland. Elia once sent messengers to the motherland for help. The motherland ignored Elia’s plight and refused to provide any help. The two sides have formed a stranger.Kanios was slightly sentimental: "You are right!" As he said, he raised the wine can and invited Cipros to have a drink.

Wiping off the foam from his mouth, he asked with interest: "How did Dionysia treat the occupied territory?"

Cipros took another wooden sign and placed it on the wooden table. He slowly said, "After the occupation of Asprostum by Dionia, the first law to be implemented was to declare,'All As The Prussians will all become citizens of Dionysia.'"

"Ah?!" Kanios looked surprised.

"Although there are few Asprostums left to choose, I think they have made a correct choice." Ciprost emphasized and continued: "Dionysia will soon implement The second bill of the law is-the public officials appointed by the Dionysian Senate to go to Asprostum for governance, and the city’s top management is the city’s chief executive, which must be served by the senate of the senate, I remember now The chief of the city of Asprostum is... Silos of Dionysian House, a veteran with a close relationship with Daveus.

You see, the residents of Asprostum are now Dionysian citizens, and Dionysian law stipulates,'As long as either parent is a Dionysian, the child will be Dionysians.In addition, the power of Asprostum is directly appointed by the Senate, and any Dionysian citizen can apply for public office in the city. After a long period of public office, he has rich experience and outstanding performance. People can become veterans of the Dionysian senate.'"

Ciplos said slightly excitedly: "In this way, the residents of Asprostum are not likely to betray the Dionysian Union now or later, because they and Dionysian citizens in other cities of the Union enjoy the same rights. Asprostum is already part of the Dionysian Union, and the senate of the Union sends people to manage it directly, whether it is paying taxes or serving. Military service directly enhances the power of the alliance. Therefore, in the case where Dionia was weaker than Crotone, he was able to convene as many soldiers and resources as Crotone, because this kind of government can Better concentrate all the power of the city under its jurisdiction! And Crotone even Asprostum is not fully supporting it, not to mention its allies Siliting and our Trina. This is probably also Dior The most daunting thing about the Nyah Alliance is that every time it acquires a piece of land, it strengthens the strength of the alliance!"
