Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 748 Brothers Aristilas

Living in a villa, this is a fashion that has emerged in the Kingdom of Dionysia in recent years. It was originally originated from Daphes. He built a villa on the hill not far from the large baths of Turiri Thermal Baths, which is the hottest in summer. When I was there, I took my family to the north of the mountain area for summer vacation, leisure, and hot springs, which were very popular with children.

After a few occasional banquets, the elders and ministers discovered the benefits of living in a villa. The hills in the northern mountains that were sparsely populated, the land was barren, and the roads were rugged, soon became popular. Turi The wealthy and identified citizens of Iraq lined up to buy from the Ministry of Agriculture. Later, the local council of Turui had to pass a bill to restrict the mountains in Turri’s territory from being oversold, and the mountains for sale also strictly regulated the villa’s Area, trees in other areas shall not be felled at will.

Citizens of Turiy had to turn their attention to Amendolara, Bisinia and Castellon in the core area of ​​Turiy, and soon forced the local councils of these three towns to restrict the sale of mountains one after another... …In the end, this turmoil swept the entire kingdom, resulting in a provision for the “Sale of Mountains and the Construction of Villas” specifically in the Law of the Kingdom of Dionysia.

Antrapolis just expressed his concern in this way. He understood that his brother had a firm personality and was not a person who could be easily persuaded, just like he once persuaded Aristilas to propose to His Majesty Davis , "I no longer hold the position of intelligence director, and instead go to the development of administrative officials", he believes that his brother's talents can have a more brilliant future, but was severely rejected by Aristilas and warned him later Don't mention this again.

Antrapolis stopped talking, but Aristilas asked, "What are you doing today?"

"Brother, can I come over to see you specifically today?" Antrapolis said dissatisfiedly.

"Boris is coming!" With a cordial shout, a woman came out of the main building.

"Sister-in-law!" Antrapolis shouted respectfully.

The person who came was Asuna, Aristila's wife.

"You haven't been to our house for a long time," Azuna said with a scornful smile.

"Sister-in-law, isn't I not coming, haven't you been in public office in recent years, just returned from Hepianian last month, these days have been busy going through various handover procedures... No, just after I finish Coming here." Antrapolis quickly explained.

"Since it's a rare visit, let's have dinner together at home tonight! I have asked the servants to prepare, you call your younger brother and sister Keli Asi, and Li Leiya (Azuna's daughter) miss her too 'S younger brother, Andu Oaks, our family will gather together tonight!"

Asuna finished his face with enthusiasm, and Antrapolis looked at his brother. He knew that Aristilas rarely held parties at home.

But at this moment, Aristilas quickly said: "Your sister-in-law has spoken, and quickly sent your servant home, and called your brother and sister."

Azuna looked at her husband with a charming smile, and then said, "Princess Christosia has something urgent for me to do. I will rush back in the afternoon. The two of you will talk slowly at home first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you're busy first." Antrapolis smiled on his face as he watched Azuna leave the house with two slave girls.

As a veteran of the Senate, he was so respectful of Azuna, not only because she was her own sister-in-law, but also because she was a close-knit slave of Christoya, and she is still a powerful assistant in the princess’ business. , Won the trust of King Davis’s family, plus Aristilas is the confidant of King Davers, so it’s not wrong for Antrapolis to say that his brother is a great minister of the kingdom, many veterans and cities The Chief Executive seems to have a prominent position, but in fact, King Davers, who is increasingly powerful, can't compare with the couple's words.

However, the Aristilas and his wife usually act low-key and rarely interact with others.Aristilas, who has always been cold-faced to everyone, was gentle to his wife. Asuna always took the idea on family matters. According to rumors, Azuna was actively pursuing and adding Princess Listoya was a matchmaker and the two people came together.Antrapolis believes that this rumor is very credible, otherwise, with his brother's indifferent personality, it is estimated that he is still single.

Antrapolis pretended not to see the slight smile on Arisila's mouth when he watched Asuna leave, and he said seriously: "Brother, I have an important thing this time, please You help me get an idea."

Aristilas immediately became serious: "Go to my study and speak."

"Brother, I want to respond to His Majesty Daveus's call and follow the army to the Latium area..." In the study, Antrapolis said seriously.

It turned out that Daveus not only provided opportunities for merchants who donated food to the Kingdom, but also issued a call for veterans who had no suitable positions and could only take up idle jobs, as well as officials of the Kingdom, hoping that they could volunteer with the army. Expedition to the Latium area and hold various public positions in the occupied area in the future in order to better stabilize the occupied area...

Aristilas did not seem to be surprised, and there was no trace of surprise on his face, but he asked gently: "Why did you choose to go to Latinum?"

"Brother, you know, I returned to Turriy after the post of Chief Executive of Heberian was expired. The management committee of the Kingdom officials originally evaluated my administrative performance in Heberian pretty well, but was running for Cosen. In the position of Chief Executive, I lost to Bagul. Now that the Chief Executive and other senior positions in various cities of the Kingdom are full, I don’t know when I will stay until I can take up office again. I thought... Fei Si went down to Latium..."Antrapolis said his true thoughts.

"Isn't Castron's chief executive position still empty?" Aristilas said.

"Is the Chief Executive of Castellon still called the Chief Executive! I don't want to have a Lucias on my head pointing finger at me!" Antrapolis shook his head.

In the past few years, in order to consolidate resources and highlight Turiri's central position in the kingdom, Davies established the Turiri region. Bisinia, Castellon, and Amendoralar were all incorporated into this region. All of their chief executives are subject to the jurisdiction of the Chief Executive of Turi, and Lucias has served as Chief Executive of Turi for many years and has a high reputation. Most of these Chief Executives dare not violate his orders.

"Actually, after Your Majesty put forward this plan in the Senate, I wanted to suggest you go to Latium. I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly." Aristilas showed a sigh of relief on his face, don't look at him usually Rarely contacted Antrapolis, in fact he has been concerned about his brother's performance in politics.

"You also support me to go?!" Antrapolis heard this, and he was firmer in his heart, but still worriedly said: "I am now worried that Latium is too far from the center of the Kingdom, and the location is remote. I don’t get too much attention in the local office, and I’ll miss other good opportunities if I stay there too long. In addition, the area is full of aliens and is not adjacent to the kingdom. I’m afraid it’s not very good governance. Once there was a riot..."

After listening carefully to his brother’s words, Aristilas said slowly: “You don’t have to worry about not being valued in your office there. As far as I know, His Majesty’s importance to Rome far exceeds your imagination, long before the Southern Italian War. He asked me to establish a news channel for Rome. After the Civil War, he increased his investment in Roman intelligence collection and asked me to report to him the situation of Latium every other month. In half a year, His Majesty even asked, "As soon as there is something new in Rome, report it to him immediately"... Did you know that there is a map of Italy and Sicily made of clay in the military meeting room of the Royal Palace?"

"I know, I heard that it was very beautifully made!" Antrapolis nodded and answered.

"Among all other city-state models, the Roman model is the largest and the only one made of red clay, which is very eye-catching. It can be seen that His Majesty paid more attention to Rome than Carthage, so this time he was recruited. I’ll bring you administrative officials, but this has never happened before. I’m afraid all he wants is to turn both Rome and the Latin Confederate into the territory of the Kingdom of Dionysia, so you don’t have to worry about getting there. The importance to the kingdom..."

Aristilas said here that there was no worries at all in Antrapolis. He understood that as long as the attention of King Daveus was attached, the kingdom’s resources might be vigorously inclined towards the Latium region, and security would naturally be Guarantee.

"Polys!" Aristilas said solemnly: "Since you chose to take risks instead of being mediocre, then when you come to Latham, don't be afraid of hardships! You need to understand the life customs of various ethnic groups in that area, Work hard to find out how to manage the area there, and build up your reputation there... When the Latium region is fully incorporated into the kingdom, you must become the elder who knows the most there! In this way, once Latham is important, When your position is vacant or an important issue occurs, your majesty will first think of you, just like Bagul in Lucania and Sedorum in Bruti. I missed a great opportunity, don't miss it again this time!"

Antrapolis understood what his brother meant by "missing opportunities": Dionysia had just occupied the southeast of Sicily. He was born and raised in Katane and successfully led the rebellion against Syracuse. The great riots, and therefore the veteran of the veteran's house, served as the chief executive of Katana, he should have gradually developed on this basis, became a spokesperson in the kingdom of Sicily, a pivotal figure in the senate, and as a result lacked administrative experience He eventually screwed himself up.

Now the expectations of Aristilas both make him feel stressed and make him feel uplifted. He said in a deep voice: "Brother, you can rest assured that this time I will not easily miss it again!"
