Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 813 Appointment of Roman Administrative Officials (Continued)

Daveus nodded at Alcibidas with satisfaction.

Yasisters smiled and said aloud: "Great, we have another good helper!"

Everyone responded immediately, Alcibidas responded with a humble salute.

Davies went on to say: "I have a suggestion to establish a large market in the city of Rome, where merchants can ship goods from the country, and the army's battalion can also be bought here. The people in the city of Rome also You can buy some living materials... The original market in the city of Rome has been converted into a camp by various legions. I think this new market can be built on the embankment of the south bridgehead of the Roman Spinal Bridge, so that it is convenient for goods to be transported from the port and for customers. Go to buy... Of course, this is just my suggestion. After you have carefully inspected the entire city, your business officials will make a decision that is more conducive to the development of commerce according to the actual situation."

Frakus immediately said: "Your Majesty, when the meeting is over, I will immediately proceed to handle this matter."

"Rome Finance Officer...Archibades!" Davers then announced his appointment.

Another person stood up in the meeting place.

"The entire tax agency in Rome City needs you to hurry up and build it! Although Rome City has just captured it, land tax is impossible to implement, but commercial tax should start to be collected as soon as possible!..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"And...the army defeated the Romans one after another, conquered Ostia and Rome, and harvested a lot of loot. If they were transported back to Turri, it would take time and manpower, and the merchants of the kingdom gathered in Rome, you discuss a plan with Lord Alcibidas, pick out these trophies that are not urgently needed by the military, auction them, and then transport the earned gold and silver back to Turri to make up for the emptiness of the treasury."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Archibades answered quite strongly this time, and his eyes were shining.

"Agricultural Officer...Tibulus." Daveus continued: "I have previously announced to the Romans that all the previous land should be redistributed! So you need to know the amount of land owned by the Roman city as soon as possible, although Because of the war, farming is still not possible, but the allocation can still be carried out. Let the newly joined Romans of Dionysia know that we are trustworthy! Moreover, they must be allocated the best and most fertile land , Let them feel the benefits of joining Dionysia, and also attract those Romans who are still hesitating to join us as soon as possible!"

"I see, Your Majesty." Tibrus replied.

"Then how to collect this land tax?" Archibades asked urgently.

Although they are different in size, the Treasurer and his boss, Mercis, are very similar in their attitudes and expressions when it comes to money and tax, which makes Davis slightly amused, he said with a smile. : "Like the previous treatment of newly conquered areas, tax will be exempted for three years from the time the land is cultivated, and will be levied at the land tax rate of full citizens after three years."

Archibades sat back slightly in disappointment.

"Roman census officer Porotax... Roman Judge Diost..." Daveus announced the appointments one by one.In fact, for these newly appointed middle-level officials, Davers rarely met before, but he spent a lot of time keeping his name and appearance features in mind, and accurately matched with the real person. Use this There are ways to show his importance to the appointee, and now it seems that this effect is still very good.

"I have already announced the appointment of the main middle and senior officials in the city of Rome. The rest of the people who have not been appointed will be decided by the Roman Chief Executive Asistes and several administrative deputies after deciding your position. No matter whether the public office is high or not Low, I hope you all go all out to complete your duties! I will understand your performance at any time, not because of your ability, but because of what?"

Daveus patted the map with his hands, increasing his tone, encouraging them to say: "Because we are not just about occupying Rome, Ostia, but also these Latin gangs, these Roman colonial cities... they are all the goals of the kingdom! There are several big cities that are not weaker than Rome! When appointing the chief executives and senior officials who manage these towns in the future, you who have experience in government affairs in Rome, have a better understanding of the customs and habits of the Latins, and the situation in the Latium area are priority. The target considered by the Kingdom Official Management Committee and me!"

As soon as these words came out, not only were these middle-level officials excited, but even Nikomacus, Antrapolis... these veterans also smiled.

At this time, the new Roman Chief Executive, Asistes, said, "We have just seen a lot of Romans waiting in line to apply to become Dionysian citizens. According to the speech you gave to them, your fear Many of these people want to become public officials in Dionysia. We will try our best to recruit some Romans who can speak Greek to serve in various departments. This will not only facilitate our good communication with the Romans, but also It is good for us to better understand the customs and customs of the Romans, and it is good for our governance.

But because they are all civilians, I am afraid that many people neither understand Greek nor literacy, and do not understand our Dionysian system and laws at all, so more can only serve as patrol members, then we need them Come to be an inspector?If necessary, will these inspectors be equipped with weapons?Are there any restrictions?"

"Your question is very good." Daveus looked at Acistes with admiration. Obviously he had been thinking about how to manage the city of Rome before leaving Rome and after talking with Acistes once. Things.

Daphes replied without hesitation: "Since they have applied to become citizens of Dionysia, do not treat them as outsiders, of course you can let them serve as inspectors, and what costumes the inspectors of Dionysia are, they It should be what it is. However, the chief of the inspection team in each group will be temporarily served by our officials, and there must be a certain number of old citizens in the team, so that they can better understand our laws and systems in mutual contact. Know what can and cannot be done when performing tasks, to avoid being punished for making mistakes, but causing discord..."

"Your Majesty, but we don't have that much manpower to serve as the inspector captain!" the new Roman inspector interjected.

"You can let legionary soldiers who are temporarily unable to fight because of injuries serve as patrol captains and members." Nico Marcus suggested.

"Look, as soon as you all negotiate, there is a way." Davers smiled, apparently agreeing with Nico Marcus's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, the measures you announced on the square today are aimed at Roman civilians and slaves. What should you do with the Roman nobles?" Asistes then raised another important question.

In fact, Davis had already told Yasisters about some of the measures he might take after occupying Rome when he was in Turrii, so Daves believed that Yasisters raised this issue to want the officials present He clearly understands his ideas on how to conquer Rome completely, so he seriously said: "Roman nobles are different from the Greek nobles or alien leaders we encountered in other regions before. Due to various reasons, their strength is quite strong. They are also deeply connected with other Latin city-states in this area. Even if they surrendered, because the measures we implemented next would seriously damage their interests, they will definitely rise up against our rule and set off with their abilities. 'S riots will definitely trump the previous Udie's chaos!

When Rome is in chaos, other areas here will inevitably have chaos, but Turri is far away from Rome. It is impossible to send troops back and forth as easily as the suppression of Udie. Finally, we have sacrificed countless citizens and cost countless The land obtained by gold and silver may cost us more... This is in the long run.

From the current point of view, we need to stabilize Rome quickly and deal with the enemies around us

So I chose to absorb Roman civilians who were more easily attracted to our measures, more easily integrated into Dionysian, and who had great conflicts with the nobility, became citizens of Dioria, rather than the Roman aristocracy.After defeating the coming Roman army, I decided to turn all the captured Roman nobles into slaves and escort them to Turri."

The cold tone of Daveus and such a decisive decision surprised the officials in the venue: know that even when conquering the Puchti, Mesapi, and Dawns, they were forced to disband the tribes and suppress them with iron fists. The rioters, but initially Dionysia allowed them to surrender, but this time they did not give the Roman nobles a chance at all. This is completely unlike the previous administrative style of King Davis!

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the Roman nobles have no chance of surrender. I am afraid they will fight desperately to fight us. Our soldiers will not only increase more casualties, but also increase our difficulty in conquering this area!" Nick Marcus stood up first, admonishing him.

"So, the disposal of the Roman aristocracy should be announced after defeating their army, and now they are only to be temporarily taken into custody." Daveus simply explained, and then sat silently.

"Your Majesty...the nobles and their families in these cities now see that we have treated them differently, and the Roman civilians, I am afraid that they have made them uneasy, and as Lord Nicomarcus said, in the end we are The treatment of the Roman aristocracy will also make the surrounding Latin city-state aristocracy feel chills, which is not conducive to their conquest in the future!"
