Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 1037 The Kingdom Assembly during the War (3)

What made Pulius more interesting was that the Chancellor of the Treasury explained to the public in detail how the income of the Treasury was used in this year, how much money was used for the salary of Kingdom officials, and how much money was used for Public buildings, how much is used for school education in the Kingdom, how much is used for the purchase of military food, and how much is used for the manufacture of armaments...

Mercis was a treasure trove of these figures on the stage, but Pueblius was amazed at the stage. It was also an administrative experience. He realized from the other party’s account: The Kingdom of Dionysia’s management of the treasury and The use is very delicate.

Moreover, the next scene surprised him even more.

After Mercis finished speaking, some veterans and representatives of parliament raised questions about the use of certain expenses.Despite his impatience, Mercis elaborated one by one, and he didn't return to his seat until no one asked any more questions.

Pubulius let out a breath, even if he was just watching, he felt a little nervous. He initially realized that it might not be an easy task to gain power in the Kingdom of Dionysia. Supervision and questioning like this Although it is also available in the Roman Senate, it will never be so detailed and specific. This requires that the person in charge must have good management skills, and also avoid as much as possible behind-the-scenes transactions in city-states. Mercis is this time. The conclusion was successfully concluded, but in case one of his answers dissatisfied everyone, I am afraid it is by no means so easy to pass...

Puglius remembered the Dionysian congressman's meeting that Tibrus had mentioned to be held tomorrow, and began to wake up in his heart: this is Dionys, not Rome, you must be cautious in taking office !

Next to the center of the meeting was Secretary of Agriculture Burcos, and his speech was quite inspiring.

First of all, after experiencing a drought, in September last year, the whole kingdom’s agriculture achieved a bumper harvest, which greatly eased the dilemma of shortage of military food and also freed the people from the shadow of drought.And Burcos mentioned next: the eastern plains of Campania and most of the area of ​​Latham were merged into the Kingdom, adding xxx acres of fertile flat land, allocating a total of xxx acres to the people who moved there, and remaining xxx Acres of land, what measures did the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture take to help newly relocated people use these shares more quickly...

In addition, he also mentioned the three areas of Syracuse, Sardinia and Western Sicily. Although it has not been completely settled, the Ministry of Agriculture has begun planning the land there...

Burkos's speech won a round of applause, but everyone was also actively asking questions about whether young citizens in their towns who had grown up in the ages could share newly occupied land.

The Ministry of Agriculture had long considered this, so Burcos answered quite easily.

Although Burkes mentioned that the topic of "Latinum land allocation" was to make Pubrius feel bitter, he was also actively considering the allocation of land for each citizen for the leadership of the Kingdom of Dionysia. One thing sighed.

The next appearance was the Minister of Commerce Mariji, a Persian with a different appearance that made Pubrius look seriously.

Mariji’s speech at the beginning of everyone’s expectation that the war had a great impact on the Kingdom’s commerce and trade. In the past year, the number of merchant ships in various harbour cities has decreased significantly, and the markets around the world have become depressed. Not surprised.

Marighi then mentioned that the acquisition of the Latium region, the whole of Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia has greatly expanded the trade circle of the Kingdom of Dionysia in the Western Mediterranean and entered the field of precious metal trade. This will inevitably lead to greater development of the Kingdom’s commerce and trade after the war, and the alliance between the Kingdom and Egypt will make the trade between the two countries closer and deeper, and the commerce and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean will also go further...

Of course, Mariji only talked about it here. Before the end of this conference, the Kingdom’s departments will look forward to the new year’s work, and he will talk about it in more detail.

But even so, some local councillors from merchants actively raised their concerns, and Mariji also gave a satisfactory answer.

The next official is the household registration minister Rafaias. During this war, the household registration department was also a busy department. Citizens and even free citizens were transferred to participate in the war as soldiers or as labor to transport. Or still be punished...these answers must be recorded one by one. Because of the large number of people participating in the war, this is an extremely large and complicated job. Therefore, the public officials in the household registration department are the most in all departments, with many scribes and recorders. And the file manager, with these detailed citizen files, it also allows other departments to have a basis for reference, so that they can barely meet the requirements of Davers to achieve the "contribution to rewards and punishment".

In Rafaias’s account, many people knew that the casualties of the Dionysian people in this war were not just soldiers on the battlefield, but also ordinary people, such as the Dawn area invaded by the Samonais. , The Catania plains destroyed by the Carthage, the Apulia area attacked by the remnants, and so on.

Therefore, the number of casualties given by Rafaias can be much more than that given by the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the total population of the Kingdom of the new statistics is still more than the previous year. What is the reason?That is because the population of these newly-integrated regions has increased. The city of Rome alone brought more than 50,000 people to Dionia, and there are many people who have retreated to Syracuse. In addition, there are The newly surrendered city-states such as Victoria, Keslera, Alenia, and Saint Ibinia have exceeded 100,000.

In addition, the number of public slaves in the slave management office of the Ministry of Household Registration also doubled during the year. The Romans, Latins, Syracuses, Carthages, Phoenicians... The family became the slaves of the Kingdom of Dionysia, greatly alleviating the shortage of labor in the kingdom this year.

But at the same time, it also brought huge pressure to the management of slaves by the household registration department. Rafaias also told several unrests caused by slaves and the casualties of household registration officials. In a few days, he will pass the issue of "increasing the number of officials of the household registration department and creating a slave guard team" proposed at the Kingdom Assembly, and lay an ambush in advance.

Publius listened very carefully to Rafaias's account, because it involved fellow Romans who became slaves. He also asked questions for the first time after his story, asking the current status and future of the Roman slaves. Possibility of renunciation.

Considering that Publius had just joined the kingdom, Rafiasti explained to him in detail the kingdom’s regulations governing public slaves: slaves have simple but clean accommodation, and food for two meals a day is guaranteed, Heavy physical labor and even three meals are occasionally given to meat. Illness and special doctors are responsible for treatment. Some families will not be dismantled. As long as they complete their tasks seriously and are not hostile to managers, they cannot be scolded at will.And it does not prohibit the combination of male and female slaves...Slaves who perform well in the first year will receive a small monthly salary from the second year. If they have been performing well, they may be listed in the third year. Join the list of concerns until finally being free at the Hades celebration...

Rafaias also emphasized in particular: Out of awe of Hades, many of the officials of the Slave Management Department were slaves. Coupled with the random inspection of the Ministry of Supervision, the management of public efforts has been strictly in accordance with Laws are enforced, and the slaves all live well; on the contrary, the Kingdom can only conduct spot checks on private slaves on a monthly basis, but their living conditions are worse...

After listening to Publius, the guilt in his heart eased slightly.In fact, he knew that these Roman slaves lived in slave camps on the banks of the Tino River to the north of the city of Rome, but he had never thought of visiting, because it would only be swearing, not grateful.

The next step was the Minister of Construction Heracleides Jr., because the Kingdom invested all the revenue of the treasury in the consumption of war, the construction and maintenance of domestic public buildings have been stopped, but this does not mean that Heracled Jr. What can be said.

Reconstruction of the old city of Rome is a key point. Although Publius has personally experienced the process of rebuilding in Rome, it is another experience for him to consider the entire rebuilding of the entire Roman city from the perspective of the planner. So he listened very seriously.

In addition, Herculides Jr. also mentioned that after the merger of these new territories into the Kingdom, the construction of its roads is already under planning. When the spring broadcast ends, the Ministry of Construction will organize labor and preparation funds to speed up the Kingdom’s avenue as soon as possible. Extend to these territories in order to make it easier to communicate with the kingdom's old territories, and more conducive to the kingdom's governance of it.

The next minister who not only frightened local lawmakers, but also the elders often felt sorrowful, he was the supervising minister Sesta.

This prince who punished many officials and was called "Rada Mandas in the Sun" by the people went to the center of the venue for one stop, and the whole venue became quieter.Perhaps because he has been engaged in monitoring work for many years, he has developed a temperament of cold noodles.

However, in his summary of last year’s monitoring work, in fact there were fewer Kingdom officials punished by the Ministry of Supervision than in previous years. One of the important reasons is because of the war. Because of this large-scale war, the entire Kingdom is in an emergency mobilization state. At this time, mistakes will be doubled, so few people dare to hit the gun at this critical juncture.
