Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

All the elders stood up at this moment to show respect.This is not spontaneous, but a bill passed by the senate of the Kingdom of Dionysia in the past ten years, which stipulates that: when the king participates in the meeting of the senate, it must have this etiquette.The Supreme Ombudsman can exercise the power to oust veterans who are unrespectable and impolite.

As for the entrance of court guards in the venue, it was due to the sudden increase in the number of veterans after the Southern-Italian War. Although the guards who guarded the veteran’s courtyard before entering the venue searched the veterans to prevent someone from carrying weapons, the new Some of the veterans who joined Dioria are deeply contradictory. For example, Crotone and Locle, and Trina and Siberian veterans are inconsistent in the debate on the bill. It even threatened the safety of Daphes, so Mariji and Plessinas proposed that with the consent of more than half of the elders in the venue, the court guards under Daffers were allowed to enter the venue, which not only defended the king, but also assisted the inspector Maintain order in the venue.Of course, after ten years of running-in and some improvements in the conference system of the Senate, the present meeting of the Senate has become much more orderly.

Daveus sat steadily on the leather chair. Because there were two steps under the seat, he was at a height that was almost flush with the rear seats of the venue.

Daveus stared at the nearly two hundred veterans in front, most of them concentrated in the front of the center of the meeting place, so that it was easy to hear the voice of the speaker.

The most senior veterans sit in the front row, and the seat in the center belongs to Kunogolata. This is a commendation of Davos for what he has done over the years, and the veterans also agree with his ability And prestige.But during this time he had been ill in bed. Hearing Phelps said his condition was getting worse, Davers felt a little worried.

The seat next to it should have been Cornelius, a hardworking veteran, but today, as the rotating chairman, he stood in front of the wooden table next to the center of the venue on the right front of Davos.In the past ten years, he also had white hair and rickets.

Daphes sighed in his heart. If it wasn’t because Kunogolata was absent for a long time, the veteran’s house needed a prestigious veteran to guard him. He might have considered letting Cornelius, who is almost 60 years old, not have In the role of the rotating chairman, which is a burdensome task, because it is too much effort, I am afraid that he will not be able to persevere.

At the center of the forefront are three permanent rotating chairmen of the Senate, which are Weisba, Sedorum and Lucias.Although Lucias of Crotone is a veteran veteran, on the one hand, out of respect for Crotone, a city that was once a great Greek power, on the other hand, after all, Crotone was once a Silitian, Although the leader of Trina and Kaurenia is still in the past, there are still some influences, so Lucias, who was once the chief general of Crotone, became the rotating chairman of the Senate upon the proposal of Daveus. .

Also seated in the first row are Trito de Moss, Protésilaus, Rafias, Antaoris, Philius, Mercis, Marigi, and Plycines , Burcos... These veterans who made great contributions to the kingdom before the Southern Italian War.

In addition, the seats of former mercenary veterans who had always loved to sit together have also undergone some changes.For example, Antonios sits alone, most of them are veterans from Sicily; Hilos originally did not want to sit alone, but Locle and his confederate veterans who were conquered and conquered by him prefer to join him. As a result, some former mercenary veterans were very opinionated. In the end, he had to stay away from the mercenary veteran... Later, in order to avoid the situation of Antonios again, Davos after the Brindisi conference battle, every time Two or three legions were dispatched to attack the cities and towns of Mesapi and Puchetti, which not only allowed each soldier to gain military power and exercise, but also dispersed the influence of the commanders on the conquering ground.

But even so, there are still some Mesapi and Pucciti veterans squeezed among the former mercenary veterans, giving the largest group in the veterinary hospital a tendency to fall apart.Not only did Davers not worry, but he was happy to see this happen, because now he no longer needs to rely on these gangs of mercenaries to gain a foothold in the kingdom.

At this moment, Davers put his hands on the armrests of the chair, leaned back in a more comfortable position, and then said to Cornelius: "Go."

The first agenda of this meeting of the Senate is the report of the chief executive of Enona, Yasisters.

Debriefing, this is a must-do procedure for every Dionysian veteran who resigns from public office.

On the one hand, let other elders understand and evaluate their actions during their tenure.Good performance, then it is easier to take a new position in the next election, and poor performance, then there is a reason for being idle next time, which also forces the elders to dare not slack off when they hold public office, and is regarded as incompetent by colleagues , No one can bear it.

On the other hand, it is convenient for other veterans to understand the current situation and the difficulties faced by this position or the region through the outgoers, so that they will carefully consider when deciding the bills related to them or when deciding whether to take over this position. .

Yasisters had reported to Enona three years ago, so this time he was familiar with the car and said it relatively simply.

After he finished his speech, there were applause around him. Of course, many of them were entertainment.

At this time, the rotating chairman Cornelius said aloud: "My lords, now it's time to ask Master Yasisters."

Asistonston felt nervous, and the hardest time to report was here!

As soon as Cornelius's voice fell, Felix immediately stood up: "My lords, I remember that Lord Yasisters said three years ago,'Enona is going to become the Campania League and Dior The bridge between the kingdoms of Leah.'I would like to ask Master Yasisters, what has Enona achieved in this regard in the past three years?"

Yasisters sighed slightly, and glanced at Felixius gratefully: It is worthy of being an old officer in the mercenary, which is completely helping himself.

In the previous report, Yasisters has already mentioned this matter, and now only needs a more detailed explanation: "Thank you, Your Majesty and everyone, for your wise decision to make us the Kingdom of Dionia and Campania The alliance is an alliance, which is the basis for Enona to quickly develop relations with the city-states of Campania!

We all know that in the past, due to the invasion of the city states of Campania by the Samones, some city states have fallen into the hands of the Samones, including the ancient city-state Capusa.Although under our mediation, the Samone and the Campania Alliance reached a peace agreement, the land occupied by the Samone could not be returned, so there are a large number of camps in the Campania region that have lost their homes and have no land. Pania.

In the past, most of them had to work as mercenaries in order to survive.Since Enona became a new piece of land in the kingdom, although the original residents of the Samone have left, the growth of its urban population has been slow, because Greek immigrants from the Eastern Mediterranean are more willing to go to the kingdom. Settled in the Greek region, where it is closer to the mainland of Greece, the same customs and habits are more familiar, and few people are willing to come to Enona on the central west coast of Italy. In previous years, the residents of Enona were mainly settled by the original Third Army. Soldiers and dependents—"

Speaking of which, Yasisters nodded slightly to the Lucanian veterans such as Wesbah and Hermon, because the soldiers of the Third Army were mainly Lucanians: "Enona has a lot of wasteland. Lack of labor, so from the time Alexis took office, he took some measures to attract Campanias to Enola as a hired worker. While I adhere to the practice of Alexis, due to the further improvement of the diplomatic environment In addition, some new measures have been proposed, such as allowing Campania people to rent five acres of land even if they do not want to become Dionysian citizens. If they are reclaiming wasteland, they can rent more than ten acres at a time... VI After the year, a large amount of wasteland in Enona was developed into mature fields, and tax revenue was greatly increased.

At the same time, I provided low-cost accommodation for the Campania people in the city of Enona. All places requiring labor, such as ports and markets, were opened to them, and they were basically treated the same as Dionysia’s free citizens and preparatory citizens. As a result, a large number of Campanias poured into Enona, which greatly promoted the rapid development of the port of Enona, making the port of Enona, which had only a simple dock ten years ago, now become an important part of the Kingdom on the central west coast of Italy. One of the ports!"

Yasisters said more and more excitedly: "The influx of Campanians into Enona also provided a foundation for us to spread the culture of the kingdom. They like to eat our food, they also fall in love with bathing, and more like watching Fierce rugby, football, and even organizing teams to practice on my own. After I knew this, I hired experienced players to teach them, and in recent years I also allowed Campani to work in Enona The Asians formed a team to participate in the city’s rugby and football games, and after returning to Campania, they spread these hobbies to their motherland. Last year, Enona held a special rugby game, inviting neighboring Pompeii, Naples, Sorrentum, Capreae, etc. formed a team to participate in the Campania city-state. The game was held very successfully, so it will be in this year’s Kingdom Football Finals. Pompeii, as our ally city-state, actively requested participation and was approved by His Majesty...
