Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Please say, Master Pollux." Of course, the rotating chairman Cornelius can't make such an expression, he can only nod his head to signal the other side to speak.

"When the tribes of Lucania and Bruti joined our Dionysian city-state alliance, we had a formal agreement with them,'Do not interfere in the internal affairs of the tribes and ensure the independence and integrity of the tribe.' However— —”

Polyxes waved his arms and said loudly: "However, after several years, the independence of the tribes has been seriously affected, and even many small tribes have ceased to exist. What is the reason? Because the young men of the tribes have asked to leave the tribes , Living alone, resulting in a sharp decline in the tribal population, without enough labor to maintain their livelihoods, we have to move towards dissolution... The agreements we signed with the tribes of Lucania and Bruti were completed under the watchful eye of Hades, Nowadays, the survival of the Union has been seriously threatened, which not only seriously affected our Dionysia’s reputation, but also caused hesitation and suspicion among other races in Greater Greece who want to move closer to us. Since I have always supported and trusted us, I propose that the Senate should legislate,'Prohibit tribal people from leaving the tribe to maintain the integrity of the tribe.'"

Part of the elders looked at each other, and they all felt strange: What is going on?Polyxis, who had always been unconcerned with the affairs of non-Greek people and even apathetic, began to care about tribal affairs.

People like Weisba, Hermon, and Barchiripi have strange looks, while those like Sedorum, Burgam, Petaru, Kadulke, etc. are thoughtful.

At this time, Plesinas stood up: "I disagree with this proposal! The adult men of Lucania and Bruti are now basically Dionysian citizens or reserve citizens. As citizens of the Union, they certainly have the choice Freedom, the Senate has no right to make such a rule! Are you saying, Trito de Mos?"

The current Senior Judge Trito de Moss nodded and said: "The first rule of the Dionysian Law is "to guarantee the rights and freedom of choice of citizens", and no new bill shall violate this bottom line! I think whether it is a tribe or a member of the tribe, I hope everyone can live a stable and affluent life. From the current situation, they have each got a good in the Dionysian Union. Development, I think there is no need to change."

Daveus listened quietly to their argument, tapping his finger on the wooden chair...

……………………………

Kardias came to the Temple of Hades in Turri, and asked the priest Priscina to explain his wishes.

Plesinas readily agreed to his request, so the young man from Siliting entered the Temple of Hades as a believer.

Every morning and evening, Caldias has to learn the doctrine of the Temple of Hades (the main theme of Hades's doctrine is proposed by Daphes, mainly to promote: do good and punish evil, love the country, family, abide by the law, and help others. After death, the people will be promoted to the Elysee Paradise, and the people who show the opposite on weekdays will be punished in hell... He is still on the basis of the original Greek divine, on the formation of heaven and earth, the dispute of the gods, Elysee Paradise It was elaborated with Hell in detail, of course, it was biased towards Hades, and established it as a good god similar to the Eastern King of Tibet, for humanity and willingness to tolerate, and then passed through Plesinas and several subordinates. The priest further interprets and compiles, and now there are thick books on Hades and his temple alone, which does not include the deed book of his wife Parsephone.During the day, Caldias followed the priests to deal with temple affairs.

Every morning, the people of Turiyi who come to the Temple of Hades are endless.

A farmer who wants to farm, a fisherman who wants to go out to the sea, a businessman who wants to go to business... As long as it is convenient, they will come to the temple to pray before leaving with confidence.At the same time, the people who wished and petitioned will also throw a few coins into the donation box and light a small oil lamp in front of the statue to show their hearts.There are also people who beg for oracles to draw a wooden sign and ask the priests to answer their questions (the engraved wooden sign is a mysterious and mysterious sentence, and the answer depends on the level of the priest).Of course, there are some people who have been helped by the priests of the Temple of Hades to bring some gifts to thank the temple...

Today, Caldias's job is to welcome the people who give gifts.From the morning till now, he hardly stopped, although he was tired, he felt full.

At this time, he had just sent a gray-haired old man down the hillside, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "Help! Help!..."

He heard the sound and saw a blood-stained man running towards this side in panic. Two people were chasing behind him.

Although he had only stayed in the Temple of Hades for a few days, he already had the consciousness of a Hades priest to help the poor, and immediately greeted him. He wanted to support the man and asked: What happened?

The man was even more anxious when he saw someone blocking the road in front of him. He echoed the man’s words in his heart: Only by running to the Temple of Hades and asking Pluto for help, you can get rid of the present predicament and become a real Dionysian citizen!

He reached out and pulled hard at Caldias, and continued to run to the Temple of Hades on the hillside.

Caldias stumbled and nearly fell.

He just stood up, and the two people behind him rushed in front of him, and he immediately asked loudly, "Who are you?! What happened?!"

The two strong men looked at Caldias, wearing a white robe of the priest in the Temple of Hades, with a somewhat hesitant look.

At the moment of their hesitation, the man had rushed to the temple, and the people coming and going and the priests who greeted him made the two hesitate, and finally they left.

The man broke into the temple, "Puntong" knelt in front of the statue of Hades, kowtowed, and begged: "Benevolent Hades! Please help me! Help me..."

The people inside and outside the temple heard him shouting miserably, didn't know what had happened, and gathered together to see what happened.

At this time, the priest in the temple also hurriedly came...

……………………………

Polyxis's proposal was only supported by Petaru, Kadulke, Burgam, and others, but was not passed.

However, after a while, he raised the old matter again and called for a civic conference.

The veterans voted again, and the people who supported him were close to 15 people. Among them were: Enanilus, Euripps, Pleades, the veterans who served in the army, and Burgam, Petaru, Kadulke and other former Bruti tribal leaders... Although less than half, but with abstaining veterans, Pollux’s supporters actually accounted for 13 of the voters.

For Polyx, this is definitely a huge victory.It’s no wonder that after the vote ended, he declared slightly: “The results of this election show that more and more veterans are aware of the importance of the civic assembly. If Dionysia wants to achieve the same glory as Athens, he must let more Citizens’ participation in the alliance’s decision-making can truly achieve the equality and freedom of citizens of all ethnic groups in Dionysia! As time goes on, I believe that other veterans who have expressed opposition will also realize this because you are The leader of Dionysia is the wisest among the people! I look forward to the day when the civic congress is held!" Polyxis's speech was powerful.

The elders' faces changed slightly, and they looked at Davers sitting in the front row.

Bakiripi had already figured out the purpose of the previous proposal of Polyx: Polyx knew that the proposal would not pass, but he wanted to let these tribal veterans see that as long as the power of Daphes was not affected Constraint, then the plight of the tribe will not be changed, but he can make this problem turnaround.At present, the relatively independent administrative organizations of the Burti and Lucanian tribes have been greatly impacted in the Dionysian Union. After several years of subtlety, the young people of all tribes have longed for the union citizens’ free life Unwilling to be bound by the clan rules again, they all left the tribe...

Basilipi knew this, and his tribe was in the city of Bisiriya, right next to Turiri.The year before last, Davers directly placed Bicinia under the jurisdiction of Turiy for management reasons, making it more closely related to Turiy, both politically and economically, and naturally affected more. His The tribe is almost in name only.

But Barchi Lippi was very open-minded, he understood that this was the general trend, not to mention that this was not a bad thing for the Bruti, his confidence came from the young man in front.At this moment, the authority of the young consul was challenged, and he could not help worrying about him.

Daveus said calmly at this time: "The elders, Polyxis mentioned the citizen assembly just now, and said, "Only the citizen assembly can hold the equality and freedom of the people." If Polyxis your memory still Well, it should be remembered how Tururii declined rapidly a few years ago? And how was it burned? What role did Turri’s civic conference and your so-called'equality and freedom' play? Tell me?"

Hearing this, Kunogolata, Ansitanos, Burcos and others all looked sad.

Polyx did not expect Daveus to mention this matter. He immediately froze, and then argued in a vain way: "Turii was burned, but it was a momentary negligence. Neonsis was too careless before he let it go. The Rotones succeeded in a sneak attack. The rapid decline of Turiri’s strength was due to the defeat to the Lucanias. This is the incompetence of Ajiroduoyax and Ferris. These have nothing to do with the Civic Assembly!"
