Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Oh... there is another profession, the status is respected, that is to become a scholar, but this is too difficult, I guess you will not consider it. The three ways I said above, you can discuss with your children and choose carefully.

As for your youngest son, he is only 10 years old. After you move to Turrii, let him attend Turrii School as soon as possible, so that when he grows up in the future, his development will be smoother than that of his elder brother.And your daughter, let her go to school as soon as possible."

When Tiburus said this, seeing Puglius frowned slightly, he said: "I know that you Romans and Greeks are more traditional and conservative in the education of their daughters, but I tell you that we are different in Dionysia. , We will let girls and boys study and exercise together to cultivate her talents, so that she can find a good husband when she is an adult, because we Dionysians believe that only healthy mothers can give birth to healthy children, Only a talented mother can have smart children!

In the Kingdom, women not only have the right to inherit property, but also a law stipulates,'If a citizen has only daughters and no sons, he can discuss with his sons-in-law to choose one of the children born to his daughter to inherit his surname.'Therefore, the status of women in the kingdom is still relatively high."

When Tiburus said this, he couldn't help but smile: "I have two daughters now and no sons, but with these legal provisions, I'm not worried at all."

Pubulius didn't know how to answer the call, and he kept silent for a while.

Tibrus stood up and said, "Don't soak in the cold water bath for too long during this season, otherwise it's easy to catch cold."

With that said, he walked out of the bath, took the cloth towel hanging on the wall, and threw it to Publius.

Tybrus wiped his body with a cloth towel, stretched his hands and feet, and said aloud: "Take a bath, you can sleep well tonight, and tomorrow you will participate in the Kingdom Assembly with full energy!"

"Yeah, Turri's baths are really great, I can't help but want to move to Turri earlier to live!" Puglius once again claimed to praise, he seemed a little excited, half because Half of the reason for the bath was because Tiburus's words gave him confidence in moving to Turri.

…………………………………………

Early in the morning on the second day, after having breakfast, guests of the Kingdom Hotel went to the Great Collegiate Church not far away after solemnly organizing their costumes.At the same time, many people gathered from other directions and quickly formed two long dragons in front of the Great Hall.

On this day, the Turui patrol team blocked the entire Victory Square and the Senate to prevent idlers from entering, and the inner city was strictly forbidden to enter and exit to ensure the smooth convening of the Kingdom Assembly.

As a newcomer to the Kingdom's senate, Puglius stood in the line, didn't know anyone, and watched the others around him greet each other enthusiastically, telling each other the current situation.

But Tiburus, who followed him, deserved to be a Turi. Although he was the first to participate in the Kingdom Assembly, he knew a lot of people, and he also actively introduced them to Pubulius.

These people learned that Pubrius was the new veteran of the kingdom and came from Rome. They were curious and asked about the situation of Rome.

Puglius also answered seriously. Everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Pubulius only learned that these people were all local councillors elected to the General Assembly in the towns of the Kingdom of Dionysia.

Soon after, Publius and Tiberus stood in front of the main entrance of the Great Hall of the Parliament. After asking Publius' name, the General Assembly Order Officer at the door looked at him with some doubt: "Publi Master Uzsi, you are a veteran, you can enter through the side door. Didn’t the hotel attendant tell you?"

Puglius glanced at Tibrus and said, "I am attending the Kingdom Assembly for the first time, and I think it would be more lively to walk through the main entrance."

"Oh, that's okay, please come with me!" The order officer finished politely and led them into the meeting place.

This is a huge circular dome, with at least 10 layers of stone steps from top to bottom, each layer has many wooden chairs arranged neatly and densely, surrounded by a semicircle in the center.In the center is a flat floor laid with white marble, with a few dark red wooden tables.At the back of the center stands a stone platform a few meters high with a large and beautiful seat.

Publius stared at it for several times, guessing that it was the seat of King Dionia.

In front of these seats, there are nearly 300 people sitting in full rows. They are wearing white robes embroidered with exquisite black patterns, mostly with gray hair, and are talking to each other in a whisper.

These are the veterans of the Kingdom of Dionysia!Puglius thought to himself that he was about to sit down with Tibrus behind them, but the order officer went to the front and whispered something to the most central person.

Soon five people stood up and walked towards them.

Publius knew one of them-that was Antaoris who had received them.

Tiburus immediately saluted one by one respectfully, and said, "Master Cornelus! Lord Lucias! Lord Sedorum! Lord Antaoris! Lord Vespa!"

As the chief executive of Turi, Luciasi, who was once the boss of Tibulus, nodded and said, "Tibulus, have worked hard, are you ready?"

"Already prepared."

"Take a good rest first, and when it's your turn, behave well!"

"Yes!"

The order officer led Tybrus to the closest seat of the first row of seats to facilitate him to speak on stage.

Tibrus had already guessed that these five were the five rotating chairmen of the Dionysian House. He also noticed that they differed from other veterans in that they wore Boltons with gold rims.

One of the gray-haired old men smiled and said, "Welcome you, Master Publius! I am Cornelus, the rotating chairman of the Dionysian Senate. This is..."

Pulius greeted each other one by one, each with a smile on his face, elegant and subtle.Don't look at Pubulius's laughter with Tibulus on this journey, as if he were an ordinary person, but at this moment he intends to show his demeanor as the senator of the Roman senate and the chief of the big clan.

Next, Cornelius led Pubrius to the center of the venue, and then shouted to the veterans under the stage: You, this is Pubulius from Rome, who was newly admitted to the senate last year. . Elder Manlius, please warmly applaud and welcome him to be one of us!"

Suddenly applause rang out.

Then Cornelius motioned to Pbulius to say a few words.

Puglius didn't say anything, he stepped forward, stood tall with his chest high, smiling slowly looking around the crowd, and then said loudly: "I was deeply on my way to Turri The territory of the Kingdom of Niya is vast; after Turi, I was attracted to the prosperity of this huge city. I know all this is closely related to the efforts of you, the elites of the Kingdom, I am very happy to be yours One of the members will contribute to the strength of Dionysia!"

Applause was heard again in the venue, which was warmer than before.

The five rotating chairmen glanced at each other, and the meaning they expressed was self-evident: in these years, they had conducted a similar and simple welcome ceremony in the senate for many veterans who had just joined the kingdom, but they could not be humble or humble. There are very few people who say such words, this veteran from Rome is not easy!

So, the five asked Pubrius to sit next to them. This position is not reasonable for newcomers, but today he specially reserved this seat. On the one hand, he expressed the right The sincerity of the Romans, on the other hand, can also facilitate them to learn the current situation of the Latium region from the mouth of Pulbius, so when Pulbius sat down, Cornelius and they warmly talked with him stand up.

At the same time, representatives of local parliamentarians entered the venue one after another, and the entire venue became more lively.

I didn't know how long it took, but an order officer came over and reminded in a low voice: "The five adults, all the participants have been gathered."

Cornelius stopped the conversation with Publius, looked at the other four, and asked, "The people have arrived, shall we start?"

"Hurry up and start, and then drag on. Today's meeting may not last until evening," Antaoris said eagerly.

Cornelius stood up, and the other four followed up, then walked towards the center of the venue together.

There was immediate applause and thunderous echoes in the closed circular space.

Publius turned his head to look back, and saw that all the wooden chairs were seated with people. It seemed that even some of the entrances and exits were also added with wooden chairs. Except for the center of the venue, it was crowded everywhere.

There are at least thousands of people!...Publius was surprised.

The five rotating chairmen walked to the wooden table beside the center of the venue and sat down facing the crowd.

At this time, the order officer of the veteran hospital standing in front of the Kingdom Supervision Department shouted in unison: "The Kingdom Assembly is about to start, please be quiet!"

As soon as the voice fell, the venue immediately became quiet.The rapid reaction of everyone surprised Pubrius, of course he did not know: no matter who dared to continue the noise at this time, the order officers would be expelled from the venue on the grounds of "deliberately disturbing the venue". This is not only It is a problem of being ugly in public, and it will be investigated by the Supervision Department afterwards.

At this time, Cornelius stood up, stood at the center of the venue, looked at the crowd, and said, "You guys, I am very happy that we have gathered in the senate today. According to the regulations, it should have been the opening of King Davids. Speech, but unfortunately he is still in Sicily, leading the army of the kingdom to fight the Carthage, unable to separate, so I wrote a letter and entrusted me to read it to everyone."
