Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Lisinius. Stolo..." Crotocatax is familiar with the name, because he is now the Roman household registration officer. Stolo will visit the household registration office from time to time to retrieve files or submit a certain The criminal record of a citizen, there are many opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other. He knows that Stolo is fair and has few misjudgments in court affairs. It is very popular with the Roman people, and of course it is also because he is a Roman. .

Crotocatax has always believed that as a few capable and active Roman-born Dionysian citizens, this person has a bright future.

"She's here to plead for Stolo?" After several years of tempering, Kloto Kataks had no longer the tenderness when he first started doing things.

"Yes, Stolo was asked to go to the inspectorate for an investigation, and Konya was very worried about it, so she came to me and cried, "Her husband is dedicated to the kingdom and has never colluded with those former Roman nobles and conspired to rebel. …'She asked me to beg you to speak for her husband, and I agreed.' Dido recounted calmly.

"Are you familiar with Stlow's wife?"

"She has participated in several banquets that I have held. I met each other in two visits. How can I say... She is not exactly a traditional Roman woman, but also has a little squeamishness from a Roman noble woman." Dido said seriously.

Since marrying Croto Catax, Dido has accompanied him to live in Rome, but during the period when she was about to give birth, in order to ensure the safety of delivery, Christosia strongly requested Dido to go to Turri Came to produce, so Dido spent a period of time in Turiyi, and saw several meetings of the Tuliyi noble ladies organized by her mother-in-law. After returning to Rome, she also learned a lot, because she has the special characteristics of the prince. Identity, there are not many noble ladies in Rome who come to the banquet every time, even including the wife of the Roman Chief Executive Asistes, plus Dido's own long-sleeved dance, her banquet has gradually become more popular in the entire Rome area. Great reputation.

Crotocatax did not stop it, because this practice was conducive to expanding his influence in Rome and meeting the requirements of Daveus.

"During this time, the Turiy Inspectorate captured a group of rebels who attempted to assassinate his father at the Greek Scholars Conference. Most of them were former Roman aristocrats. Stolo's identity was special, and these people had been with them before. It is normal to be investigated. But as far as I know him, he is a smart man and he will not be involved in this stupid conspiracy, and in the past his father also appreciated him... I believe this is just a routine Investigate, he will soon go home safely, maybe he has already eaten at home now." Crotokatax said firmly while eating cod.

"I think so too, so I agreed to her very simply. Anyway, we don't need our effort to easily get their gratitude." Dido blinked bright eyes.

"You, you." Crotocatax shook his head helplessly, and fork a piece of fried cod, just delivered to his mouth, remembered something, and then put it down, seriously said: "Just like Ke Romans like Niya will be uneasy about this arrest. I am afraid that other former Roman noble citizens will be more worried. I worry that this will cause instability in the kingdom!"

"I think my father must have taken this issue into account when making this decision, and have corresponding measures to deal with it, you can rest assured!" Dido said these are not comforts, since she joined the Kingdom of Dionysia, In the past few years, I have deeply felt that Dionia has today's power and her father-in-law is inseparable: it is a man with great political wisdom, and he is also very good to her, the one who lives in Turui For some time, not only did she care about her, but as long as Christoya criticized him, he would come out to persuade and speak for her...

After Marco's death, she found her father's shadow on another person.

Krotokatax agreed with his wife, he ate a piece of cod with confidence, and suddenly remembered something, said softly: "Today I received a letter from my father, in which he asked me to You say...The Kingdom is going to transfer the Sicilian Governor Haka back to Turri."

"Ah!" Since experiencing the death of the betrayal of Carthage and his father, Dido thinks he has been able to face all things calmly, but the news still makes him and her panicked.

Crotocatax sees his wife's thoughts, gently holding her hand resting on the dining table, and smiles and says: "Father didn't want to idle Haka, but asked him to come to Turui as a veteran The rotating chairman of the Academy."

Dido froze, and then asked: "Who of the five rotating chairpersons is vacant?"

"It's a seat that his father specially created for him in the Senate, showing his father's attention to him!"

Crotocatax heard from his wife that after most of Magonid’s family members moved to Iberia, Marco and Hasdrubal went out for battle all year round, but at home it was Dido and Haka The longest time together, especially during the Western Mediterranean War, the two should worry about the safety of their loved ones and stabilize the situation in the territory. They should comfort and support each other. Although they are only cousins, they are better than relatives and sisters, so the relationship is very good. , So he continued to comfort his wife, saying: "Besides, Haka’s health has always been bad, and the affairs in southern Iberia are so heavy. Transferring back to Turij is conducive to his physical health. Closer to us, Chris is more than two years old, and he hasn't seen his uncle!..."

After being unraveled by Crotocatax, Dido relaxed a little, but she asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Who will be the new Governor of Sicily?"

"Father didn't say it in the letter." Crotocataxe thought for a while and said with a straight face: "I think my father will definitely send a very capable veteran to take over, this year in the Iberian territory Frequent attacks by indigenous people have a lot to do with local officials’ inaction, and they need to be rectified. We do not want to see the area conquered by your father for 10 years eventually become raged by the indigenous people. paradise!"

Dido was silent for a moment, then Shu raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Clotto, you are right. Since the southern part of Iberia has become the territory of the Kingdom of Dionysia, you should rest assured to leave it to the Kingdom Governance...Is there any more soup for you?"

"I'm full." Crotocatax put the knife and fork on the table, and the servants hurried to clean up.

"Clotto." Dido asked softly again: "When will we be able to return to Turri?"

"This... also needs my father to decide..." Kloto Katakos's desire to go home is not very strong, mainly because he is more free here, and his efforts have been recognized by many people. , Which made him very fulfilled, so he thought about it and said: "At the time my father kept me here, I hoped that through my efforts, the people here would recognize the Kingdom of Dionysia more and embrace our royal family. I didn't do enough. , I might need to stay here for a few more years...I am still a Roman registrar, and maybe I will not be far from returning home when I become the Roman city chief."

…………………………………………

As Croto Catax said, "The arrest of a group of former Roman nobles" spread throughout the Kingdom, and it did make some Roman citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia feel nervous, but soon they got News: Sextus became the regimental commander.

Immediately afterwards, a larger piece of news shocked them: the rotating chairman Lucias resigned as the chief executive of Turriy, and was replaced by the former Roman aristocracy and now the Dionysian veteran Manlius Pubrius.

Turiri is the center of the kingdom. Its chief executive is far more important than the other towns in the kingdom, and it has more rights. It must be a veteran trusted by King Davos.And this new news strongly proves that this arrest is not to cleanse the members of the former Roman aristocracy, but it is indeed these people who are plotting to rebel. King Davis still trusts and is willing to reuse the former Roman aristocratic citizens.

"Publius as Chief Executive of Turii" is also a major event in the kingdom's political arena, and Publius, who has always been low-key and has never been the Chief Executive, was suddenly nominated by the outgoing Lucias. Not only surprised many veterans, but also strongly opposed by them.But with Davos' full support, he eventually took this important position.

Even if the dust settled, the elders still have a lot of criticisms about this, but soon their attention was attracted to another major event: the death of the Finance Minister Mercis.

Since the establishment of Dionia, Mercis has always held the financial power of this country. Although many veterans have disputed with him because of money, they have to admit that it is precisely because he is strict and shrewd. Under the management of the Kingdom, the Kingdom did not lead to financial collapse in several life-and-death and huge costly wars, and they all managed to support it. Only then did the Kingdom become powerful.

Of course they did not worry that the death of Mercis would lead to chaos in the Kingdom’s fiscal and tax management. In fact, his successor had already surfaced.During the period when he was ill in bed, Archibades received his recommendation, with the support of the king, and he had done a good job in the position of acting finance minister. Many people thought he would officially take over this important kingdom position. .

In the past few days when Mercys’s body was dead, King Davis and his wife, five rotating presidents, ministers of various departments, veterans, officials at all levels of the kingdom, and even many Turiyi people went to pay their respects. Before the residence where he lived, long lines were lined up every day, and Mercis was not even as good as the days after his death.
