Plessinas obviously made full preparations. He calmly said: "Don’t forget, Hades is also in charge of Elysee Paradise. The carefree and sunny field of happiness is the place that any Greek would long to go after death! What's more, as the lord of hell, Hades controls the underground wealth and can bless the minerals of our alliance territory to be more abundant! As for speaking, It is terrifying and terrifying, it is aimed at the enemy, because it brings death to the enemy, and victory to us!"
"That's so right, I love Hades!" Ammentas cheered.
"I agree to build the Temple of Hades! He has brought us victory, and he will bring us more!"
"Our Lord Archon is the descendant of Pluto. With Hades as the protector, the alliance will be more blessed!"
……
The former mercenary veterans all agreed and created a lot of momentum.
Polyxis sat down angrily, and the others were not okay at the moment and objected.
Davers patted his thigh with his left hand, watching the scene calmly. He did not communicate with Plycinus in advance, and because of his busy schedule during this time, he never thought about it, but he did not expect Plycinus to give him a huge surprise and let him Realize that there are indeed many articles that can be done.
His brain turned quickly, thinking about the pros and cons, and then stood up, everyone's eyes focused on him again: "Everyone, when we are helpless, we pray to God; when we are lost , We also pray to the gods; the gods not only have powerful divine powers, but also can give us wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. Hades is a **** who can give a lot of help to the people, not only can bring victory to our army , It protects the peace of the city, and at the same time it can educate the people.
Look, the kind-hearted people can go to Elysee Paradise and live a happy life after death; but those who committed evil in their lifetimes cannot escape the trial of the three judges of Milos, Ladamantos, and Ayago after their death. Eventually suffer in hell. Hades is an impartial **** king. Once his temple is established in the city-state, he will always remind the people that even if the wicked are temporarily confiscated by the law, they will not escape the punishment of **** after death, which forces them to live. Try to repent and be kind; and for the people who do good, worshipping the Temple of Hades will also encourage them. Don't give up the kind heart because of temporary grievances, because the beautiful Elysee Paradise will summon them... In the coming days, the morals of the people in our alliance will become better, the city-state order will be more orderly, and citizens will get along more friendly! Are you right? "
"I agree! With the Temple of Hades, my job is much easier!" Inspector Antonios immediately echoed loudly.
Just when some people were still hesitating, Daves continued: "For the construction of the Temple of Hades, I have a suggestion. There can be one main temple and one auxiliary temple. The main temple uses bright and cheerful colors. With pictures of happiness in the Elysée paradise painted around, Hades should be gentle and kind; while the partial temple is dark and fearful, surrounded by **** horror, Hades is majestic and selfless. In addition, you can also build a hall of heroes in the main hall, all for alliances Citizens who died in battle with the city-states should have their names engraved on them and enjoy the people’s admiration and worship! I think their heroic souls must also be accompanied by Pluto in the Elysee!"
Daves talked about his ideas emotionally, especially the last sentence that touched the elders, and finally decided to build the Temple of Hades.
Next, Daves proposed that Plycinus should be responsible for the construction of the temple, and it was approved.
Having Plycinus in charge of the most important public construction project of this alliance is not only because Davers repayed Plycinus for his good intentions, but also because it was his proposal to build the Temple of Hades , He is responsible and will naturally redouble his efforts to build it well.
When the meeting was over, Plessinas thanked him in private, Daves also reminded him to communicate with Heraclyde.
The next topic is the issue of "about the distribution of the land in Turiyi". Originally, Melanius slaughtered the nobles and wealthy merchants in Turíy. Except for the few remaining citizens such as Burkos, Pollux, Orifis, Enanilus, Massisacus, etc., There are almost no big landlords left.
Because the original Turiyi city has been destroyed, everyone has lost the proof of their own land. In order to avoid disputes and ensure fairness, the newly-built Union Senate redistributed the land of all the original Turiyi citizens. Basically, each family guarantees five acres of land, and most people have no objection. After all, people who lose their homes can get the land again, which is already blessed by the gods. Moreover, most Turyi civilians did not have so much land before. Only a handful of people expressed dissent. Among them, Pollux was the most opposed. His reason is simple: as we all know, his family used to have more than 500 acres of land, but now they have only 5 acres. Even a fraction is not enough. The Senate This is unfair!
When he made a fuss, people like Orifis, Massissacus and others also watched the show coldly.
Daves quietly asked Burkos to take the lead and said: willing to give up the original land and accept the newly allocated land.
At the same time, he secretly made Amintas and the others rise up, attacking Pollux, and even warned him: The original Turíy has been destroyed, and the new city is being rebuilt, but it has nothing to do with the former Turíy. , If someone insists on linking the original cities, they must properly account for the crimes committed by some people in the destruction of Turei. I believe that the people will never just expel these accomplices who made their families ruined!
Polyxis was so frightened that he never dared to object to it anymore, and naturally others could only agree. In fact, this is the greed in their hearts at work. They did not want to think that in this war, they lost not only land and money, but also a large number of tribesmen and slaves. Even if they were allocated more land, they did not have enough manpower to work in a short period of time. Even they cannot support such a large population.
After the passage of this bill, some of the former citizens of Amendorara had insufficient "allotments", but this time they also made up for it.
The Subari Plain has a wide area and fertile soil. After allocating the allotments of the Union citizens, the Senate discovered that it only took up less than one-tenth of the Subari Plain, and a large amount of land was left unused. For the Tua League, which is desperately short of money and food, how can it be wasted?
After discussing with the elders, Daves promulgated the "Land Lease Law": that is, the citizens of all the city-states of the alliance can rent the public land of the city-states. The land area does not exceed five acres. The annual tax is 10% of the land income. One part.
Mersis once proposed a one-fifth tax burden, but Daves rejected it. He believed that since he has become a prospective citizen, he must of course enjoy the benefits of the alliance in advance, so as to encourage other free citizens to join enthusiastically. alliance.
At the same time, the decree of the Senate also announced that all prospective citizens who are actively engaged in farming and actively paying taxes can smoothly become official citizens after the preparatory period has expired.
This is a suggestion from Kunogolata. He believes that farming can tell whether a person bears hardships and stands hard work, whether he has perseverance and patience, whether he has a strong physique, a good farmer is a good city-state citizen, so This is an assessment.
The veterans agree with him. Later, this became a common practice. All prepared citizens had to rent land for two or three years for inspection.
There is a lot of land, and there are also many people renting land. Daves proposed: Establish the post of agricultural officer to centrally manage the distribution, leasing, and farming of the alliance's land.
The proposal was passed, and Burcos nominated him.
At the same time, the responsibility of the military officer Felicius is also quite heavy, because it is three months before the release of Crotone’s prisoners. In order to prevent these prisoners from returning to their hometown, Crotone suddenly changed his face and broke the contract. The Tua Alliance A large number of prepared citizens must be organized and trained, and after three months, they must be equipped with certain combat capabilities. Therefore, Felicius had to order more veterans to enter the boot camp as instructors on training day.
The next issue is still Davers's proposal: to give lower-level public officials to the league about two or three Opole's salary per day to subsidize their living needs.
Speaking out of the proposal, Melses stood up excitedly: "Master Daves, since every citizen owns land, the annual tax is only 1%, and their income supports daily life. It’s more than enough. Taking a public office is the duty of city-state citizens, and it’s also a kind of honor. Why should you pay them?! If according to your proposal, a low-level public official pays about three opals a day, and the treasury will pay him a month About 16.7 drachmas. At present, the lowest-level public officials in the Tua League are estimated to need about 200, and it will cost one talent this month, which is a lot of money! Let’s I can’t learn from Athens. Athens has the Laurion silver mine, which can produce three tarients every day, and we are still spending more than profit!"
"Don't worry, Melses, let's speak slowly." Daves motioned Melses to calm down and asked softly: "How many bookkeepers do you have?"
"Five, but they are all prepared citizens."
"Do they work in the treasury every day?"
"No. In the past, our treasury did not have any income. We only asked them to come over and put it into the treasury when we occasionally needed it. The rest of the time they rented land from citizens' homes."
"What about now?"
"Now... now there is Turii, the market and the port, and the tariffs alone will make a lot of money every day. Of course they have to follow me every day between the treasury, the market and the port."
"So do they still have time to farm?"
"No."
"So what do they live on?"
