Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

382 Eve of the Celebration

"Hernipolis is still young! He has just held a lot of power, and he is a bit forgetful. He doesn't understand the actual situation of Laos, and he always wants to do things according to his own ideas..." Ansitano speaks warmly for his students defend.

"Dionysia needs a stable Laos. Regardless of what Heny thoughts, the first thing he should do now is to stabilize the order of Laos and slowly build his own prestige. Master Ansitanos, After you go, tell him that he should not be too anxious to govern Laos. With the support of Dionysia, his wish will surely be realized in the future!" After Davis sent a fire, his mood was better and he solemnly made He made his promise: "In addition, you should also warn him to listen to the opinions of his father's ministers and respect them, especially his uncle Arobmas, and discuss with him more..."

"I understand, Master Davis. I will try my best to persuade Herni." Ansitanos answered seriously.

"By the way, how is the Hades celebration carol written by Lucias going on? The celebration will begin in two days." Daves asked with concern.

"It’s almost done. Although he is dissatisfied with some of your requirements and thinks that his thinking is limited, it is a huge honor after all and will be read in front of thousands of Dionysian citizens. It's too late to be happy." Ansitanos quipped.

Daveus also smiled: "Of course I hope he can prove to me and the Senate well through this new carol that the special citizenship of Dionysia I applied for for him is worth it!"

"Sir Daffers, this year's wheat seems to be another bumper harvest. However, if we buy wheat again, I am afraid there will be nowhere to store it." Baschi Lippi said.Since Burkos resigned in guilt, in view of the fact that the shock that shocked Dionia has not subsided and the sensitivity of this position, it was finally proposed by Davers that the veterans elected Bruti veteran Bachiripi to take up this position.

Everyone thought he was just a transition, but he didn't expect him to be resolute after he took office.First, he categorically refused that Prosecutor Sesta continued to review the Ministry of Agriculture in the case of Pollux. Of course, Sesta did not agree. , Stopped expanding the case, which earned him the gratitude of his public officials.

Then, he investigated the situation of the Ministry of Agriculture in detail, and after consulting the former agricultural officer Burcos many times, promulgated a new department system, which not only strengthened supervision, but also improved administrative efficiency, and also reduced the number of people under his control. The burden, for example: Burkos often went down to the countryside in person to understand the conditions of the field, and asked his staff to do the same.Bajilipi thought that this method was undesirable. He gave this responsibility to the village chief. Public officials under the Ministry of Agriculture only needed regular inspections and received reports.

Then he proposed to the Senate: increase the salary of public officials of the Ministry of Agriculture.The reason is that the labor force of the Ministry of Agriculture is too labor-intensive, and they often have to run around in the entire Union, and even go down to the fields to assist in planting, but their own farmland has no time to take care at all.Of course, this proposal did not pass. After all, it only raised the salary of the Ministry of Agriculture, what would the staff of other departments think.

However, Pakistani Lippi won the support of all public officials of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Your opinion is to build a barn again?" Daveus thought for a while and said.

"Adult, I think the number of barns in Turriy, Cosenza, and Grumentum is enough." Basilipi replied seriously.The establishment of a barn and the strategic storage of food were carried out after the Bruty War. Davos put forward the slogan "Preparing for the war and preparing for the famine" which impressed other veterans and was approved, respectively. Barn grains are stored around the central cities in the three regions of Iraq, Cosenza, and Grummentum, and they are equipped with guards. They have been in operation for two years.

"I have carefully checked the situation in the three barns. The wheat grains stored in the previous year have been somewhat moldy, and I am afraid that they will be broken if you put them down. It would be a pity. You might as well sell them and make room for new ones. Cereals..." Barchiripi seriously suggested.

Daveus nodded and said, "Since this is the case, just do what you said, Lord Pakistani Lippi."

Seeing off Barchiripi, Daphes saw Aristilas waiting outside the living room: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, the information just sent—" Aristilas whispered.

Daveus took the small scroll of papyrus, opened it, and suddenly his face suddenly became cold: "Have you confirmed this?"

"Yes, sir. Trastust drove to Crimea to check. He returned on horseback today. His bronze medal was forged. While he was away, we sent someone to quietly open his room and found out A poisoned dagger..." Aristilas said slowly without any emotion.

"It seems to have come to me! Syracuse four drachma... hum, Dionysius!" Daveus sneered, a cold cold flash in his eyes, suppressing the tyrannical impulse in his heart , Pacing back and forth in the corridor.

Finally, he stopped, his face cold and a little more determined, and Shen Sheng said: "Since he is still not giving up, let him come and make the noise more loud!"

Aristilas hurried down and arranged.

Afterwards, Davis sent someone to return to the Bacari Lipi who was still on the road, almost completely overturning his previous decision, but also a tough decision: not only did not sell the old and old valleys, but also demanded a large number of Bacari Lipi It is best to buy the newly listed wheat in a short time, and he will let Mercis provide treasury gold and silver for full cooperation.

Bakiripi felt that Davers' sudden change of attitude was a bit strange, but he didn't ask much, but chose to agree.

………………………

In the past two days, McGallis soaked in the restaurant every day, enjoying the food, and almost spent all the money he brought.

Back in the room late at night, he bolted the door, lit the candle, and pulled out the dagger from the bottom of the bed. Thinking of the promise made by the adult before he left, he stared at the dagger in his hand, and he was stunned.

The candlelight reflected the knife light on his face, it was a dark blue...

………………………

On September 9, the birth day of Hades, Dionysia’s celebration ceremony was as usual, and thousands of Dionysian people surrounded the Victory Square.

The music sounded, and the priestess of the temple began to sing the praises of Hades.

After several years of subtle influence, the people are already familiar with this novel way of singing, so singing on and off the stage and around the audience at the same time, resounding throughout the city, is spectacular.

Then it's the turn of the large-scale square theater performance, which is also one of the people's favorite programs to watch at the celebration.But this time, it was neither the story of the Greek mercenaries guided by Hades and the long history of Great Greece, nor the spectacular epic of the establishment of the Dionysian Union under the protection of Hades, nor the other legends of Hades. The story is that there is a strong man in the square. He is dressed in lion skin and holds a big stick in his hand.

The people were so impressed with this image, and someone immediately shouted, "Hercules! Hercules!..."

Then, accompanied by a heart-beating drumbeat, an unusually tall person walked into the square (actually on stilts, covering the bottom with a longer cloth), although the appearance was a bit weird, but the people already felt Surprise: It's a giant!

The main version of the story about "The Battle of Hercules and the Giants" occurred in Afrikaans, but many Southern Italians insisted that the battle took place in Southern Italy.It now appears that the Dionysian Union met their expectations.

I saw that on the field, "Hercules" and "Giant" launched a fight...in the end, "Giant" was killed.

The people cheered.

At this time, a group of people dressed in burti decoration ran onto the field, led by a woman in gorgeous clothes, they congratulated "Hercules".Soon, "Hercules" and the woman held hands...

Many people were puzzled, but the Dionysian citizens of Brutal origin understood the scene, and they shouted excitedly: "Queen Valentia!"

"Hercules!"

"Brutus!"

...

Attracted other people to ask them: What is going on?

On the square, music from the Bruti mountains sounded, and the Bruti people danced the traditional celebration of Bruti around "Hercules" and "Queen Valentia".

Under the guidance of the Bruti people, the people outside the court also began to dance...

Lucias looked at this lively grand scene. As the dean of the Faculty of Letters at the Dionysian Academy, his angle of appreciation of the show was naturally different from that of ordinary people: "I bet this show must be the Davos Consul. What he suggested was his deep intentions!" The words showed appreciation for Davers, and it was after meeting with Daves that he made up his mind to move to Turri.

"In the Dionysian Union, the Lucanians and the Bruts accounted for a considerable number. "Race harmony and integration" is a term repeatedly mentioned by the magistrate in the Senate, and he also Efforts are constantly being made!" Ansitanos said with emotion.

"Yeah, it's not easy, and it will take a lot of time!" Lucias is not like Isocrates. He is not an "Athens supreme" or "Greek supremacy". Instead, he stayed in Athens for many years. Deeply impressed with Athens's xenophobia and conservatism, he felt that he had found the main reason for the rapid rise of Dionia.

At this time, the large-scale square performance has ended.Ancitanos said with a smile: "Lucias, I can't wait to hear the Hades carols you wrote!"

Lucias said confidently: "I believe it will not let you down!"
