Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Since the demolition, cleanup and road reconstruction of the old town in southern Rome have been completed, the rest of the residential construction has been contracted by real estate merchants from the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Construction officials only need supervision and acceptance, so the staff of the Rome Construction Office is vacated. Too.

However, the most important thing in the construction of the whole Roman city is the temple. According to the requirements of Yasistus, the new temple of the Roman city is roughly the same size as the main temple of Turri. The key is that it is not a single but Two (Temple of Hades and Temple of Diana), and also approved by King Daphes.However, to build such a temple requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Dionysia, who is at war, is now more unbearable, so after discussing with the construction officials Pasion and Yasisters, he decided to build first. The stone bridge of the Taipo River is not a Roman vertebral bridge, but a bridge connecting river islands.

Since Dionysia occupied Rome and established a new Confederate order with the surrounding forces, the entire Latium and Etruscan areas have been restored to peace and tranquility. With the strong promotion of Yasistus, Rome and the north face The affluent Etruscan alliance gradually developed trade.

There are two roads for the traffic between Rome and the northern Etruscan city-state: one is a waterway, and the port of Ostia is currently under construction; the other is a land road, but the original Roman spinal bridge was not built for trade, it bridges The surface is not wide, and it is still a wooden bridge, which has become increasingly unsuitable for the needs of the development of Rome.

Therefore, Yasisters set his sights on the two bridges on the river island that was destroyed by the war. This is also a kind of compensation for the Roman inhabitants. Passion suggested that it is best to build a stone bridge at the beginning of the New Year to show the new weather after joining the kingdom to the people of Rome.

Pacion assured Yasistes that after accepting the mission, he led a team of people to survey the terrain, choose the address of the bridge, and design the drawings... The labor is sufficient, and the materials are basically ready-made (Roman burned and demolished) There are a large number of regularly-shaped stones left in the temple of China, and the time required for pouring with cement is not long. In addition, the Ministry of Construction has built many stone bridges in the kingdom over the years. Passion thought that building such a small bridge should be ten-ninth, but he didn't expect something to go wrong at a critical time.

"So... what do the engineers say?...Can it be repaired soon?!" Croto Kataks asked anxiously, although he had been making up for his knowledge about construction during this time, but it was still a Novice, and tomorrow the Chief Executive Yasistus will lead the city hall officials to the site to congratulate the stone bridge. After long-term teaching by Davers, he knows that the stone bridge is no longer just a simple project. At the same time, he was given deeper political significance, so he was also anxious.

"It is necessary to re-consolidate the bridge foundation and reinforce the pier. They judge that it will take about seven or eight days..." Pasion hesitated and said earnestly: "I am going to explain this to Master Yasisters, Hope...you can go with me!"

Although Crotocatax is now a subordinate of Passion, he is also the prince of Dionysia. Passion usually treats him very politely. At this moment, he is begging for him and his attitude is more humble.

"Okay!" Crotocatax didn't hesitate.

The two rushed to the main residence of Rome, and they were quickly received by Acistes.

After listening to Pasion’s explanation, Yasister’s face sank: “I thought you came to see me so late, I came to tell me,'The Construction Department has made every preparation to meet tomorrow. Celebration!'Unexpectedly it was a big mistake!"

Yasisters scolded: "Why didn't I find out before?! It's just before we say it! Tomorrow is not only our city hall officials, but also many Roman people go to Mars Square to celebrate, things are so big, what should we do? end!"

Pacion's face was pale and his lips were moving, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just looked at Klotokatax with pitiful eyes.

In the past, Yasisters had always given Croto Kataks a gentle and amiable impression, but this time the emperor of the kingdom showed him his majestic side, he said sternly, "Adult--"

Yasisters interrupted him immediately: "Cloto Katax, you don't need to talk, you didn't have a long time to get to the building, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Crotocatax heard this and knew that Yasisters was taking care of him and wanted to keep him out of it, but because of this, he let him cast aside his worries and straightened his mind: "My lord, I’m a Roman architect The low-level construction officer, who has been following Master Passion for over two months, is responsible for supervising the construction of this stone bridge. He has a problem, and of course I have a great responsibility!"

Yasisters looked at the sincere and guilty Croto Catax, then turned his head to look at the uneasy Pasion, and was silent for a moment.

This silence made the visiting two feel a little uneasy.

A moment later, Yasisters said, "The officials of the City Hall said that they would cooperate well after a few days of delay, but the people in Rome and the surrounding towns rushed in. The result Seeing nothing, they were persuaded to go back... how much resentment they would have against the city hall?!"

Speaking of which, Yasisters couldn't help but aggravate the tone, thinking of the amount of trust he had put in the city hall among the Roman people since he had worked hard for several months since he was the chief executive of Rome He may be ruined because of this incident, and it makes him feel upset.

"Big...Adult..." Seeing Yasisters' voice loose, Passion immediately said nervously: "The slope of the bridge pier cannot be seen by ordinary people, they see a complete stone bridge, It’s just that we will block the two ends of the stone bridge and tell them,'For the sake of beauty, the stone pillars on the bridge fence have to be carved, and they are temporarily impassable...'"

"It seems that you have been prepared for a long time. Am I going to send you some more engravers?" Yasistus sneered and said in a deep voice: "Thousands of people came from afar , Converging to the Tiber River, you can only look at the stone bridge, and you are not afraid that they will be resentful and cause riots!"

Passion was shocked and dared not answer the call.

After all, Crotocatax is young, flexible and quick to respond. He suggested: "Adult, we Turuis are used to creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere in the New Year, since the people will gather at the Mars Square tomorrow On the Tiber River, it is better to take the opportunity to hold a competition, which not only achieves the purpose of celebration, but also diverts the attention of the people."

"The game..." Yasistus moved his mind, pondering for a while, and then shook his head: "The time is too tight, it's too late to prepare..."

"How about fishing? In a certain period of time, see who catches a lot of fish, and then rank, give rewards..." Crotocatax said at once, the reason he can give advice so quickly is because In the past, in the early spring, Davers would take his family to the banks of the Crati River under the King's Hill for a family fishing competition. The atmosphere was very warm and happy, which made Kloto Kataks miss it.Although it is not yet early spring, the temperature has begun to slowly warm up, and the surface of the Tiber River has not been frozen. Fishing is no problem.

Yasistus was a little moved by Klotokatax. After all, the preparation for the fishing competition was relatively simple. He could carry out a fishing rod and sit down by the river. It was more maneuverable.

Yasisters looked at Pacion again, and Shen Sheng asked: "Are you sure you can repair the stone bridge completely within 7 days?!"

"Adult, I swear in the name of Hades. I promise that after 7 days, the stone bridge will be completely built so that it can be used normally without problems!"

"Because of this mistake, I will first make a note in your grade file. If you fail to build the bridge after 7 days, then you will be at the end of your public office!" Yasisters warned coldly .

Pación even claimed that although the performance appraisal would affect his promotion, he was involved in the dangerous situation under the famous demanding Yasisters, but he knew that most of it was Crotocatax For the credit, he nodded his thanks to the Prince Dionysia.

"You go back to make preparations first, and I have to discuss with Crotocatax about tomorrow's fishing competition." Yasisters raised his hand to catch people, and Pasion dared to stay for a long time, and quickly left.

There were only two people left in the living room, and Yasister's complexion returned to normal. He sighed graciously: "His Royal Highness, you shouldn't have come tonight, Pasion took you together and just wanted to use Your kindness frees him..."

"Uncle Yasisters." Croto Catax said seriously: "I know what Master Pasion intended, but he did work very hard. Since taking on the important task of building stone bridges, he has been busy every day. Towards the end, I didn't see him have a slight slack, and he took care of me a lot, and taught me a lot... Yu public and private, I can't watch Lord Pasion cause it because of this mistake. The future is blocked because he is really devoted to work and wants to build this stone bridge!"

"It's worthy of being called'prince of kindness' by the people. Your Highness is still as sympathetic as before!" Yasisters praised and smiled: "Ten days ago, Your Majesty also wrote to ask me, you How is your performance in Rome? I told him well and said,'You don't pay attention to the image of Prince Dionysia at all. The court guards complained many times that you refused their protection. , Latin citizens work together to learn their Latin language, sometimes because they are too late, they also buy food at their own expense...

Later, Your Majesty wrote back to me again. Guess what he said in the letter?"
