The prosperity of the port has busied the senators of the Senate.
The chief executive of the city of Turiyi, Kunogolata, is busy dealing with various disputes and lawsuits all day, and also selecting patrol and firefighters to maintain order in the hot port area, prevent fires and pay attention In the city of Turiyi, there are new management problems brought about by the increasing number of prepared citizens.
Corneiros, the chief executive of the city of Amendorara, also faced the same problem because of the influx of outsiders into the warehouse and hotel area under the city and the newly built market.
Inspector Antonios pays close attention to the changes in the morals of the people in the two cities, whether the people get along with each other friendly, whether there are abuses of the elderly, women, and children, whether there are abuses of free citizens, slaves, and so on.
Military officer Felicius has a headache on how to reasonably incorporate the huge number of prepared citizens into the army and train them into qualified soldiers in the shortest possible time.
The busyness of the household registration officer Rafias can be imagined. He has proposed to the Senate to increase the number of scribes and archivists more than once.
Financial officer Melses is busy collecting land tax from citizens while also collecting business tax. Although he has lost a lot of weight because of this, the busier the fat man is, the happier he is.
Commercial officer Mariji is under great pressure, not only to ensure the high-quality services of the market and the port, but also to maintain the order in the two most visited areas, especially in the port area with many foreigners. At the same time, he must Consider the continued development of the Tua Union trade. Because with the gradual completion of the reconstruction of Turiyi, the demand for certain commodities among urban residents will naturally decrease significantly. How to prevent a sharp fall in foreign trade? He has been thinking of ways, and Davers’s advice to him is: Before the Tua League has developed new, unique and high-quality goods, it can rely on novel competitive games and entertainment to attract wealthy foreigners. City-state consumption...
Although Burcos, the agricultural officer, was a businessman before, in fact he is also a big landlord. He grows grapes, olives and wheat. He is also familiar with agriculture. He is not only responsible for surveying land, allocating land, renting land, and solving the problem of neighboring householders’ land. In disputes between the two countries, it is necessary to provide good advice to the people based on the actual conditions of the farmland so that they can obtain higher yields and benefits.
The production supervisor Alexis is undoubtedly one of the busiest senior public officials. Although Turrii’s reconstruction is under the overall responsibility of the Reconstruction Committee and Heraclide presided over, the specific implementation is his job. He is not only responsible for the timely purchase of various building materials, but also the organization of manpower and maintenance of order. At the same time, he has to supervise the construction of roads and bridges that Heraclide is responsible for, and the construction of the new market under the city of Amendorara is also his management scope. Therefore, from morning to night, he is tired like a dog. Davers yelled to resign, but he devoted himself to his busy work early the next morning.
Except for the veterans who hold public office, they are busy and dizzy. The other elders are also not idle. They set up multiple committees under Davers's initiative to assist the alliance in managing affairs.
The most important thing is that the Alliance Mediation Committee is composed of three people. Once there is a big dispute in the city-state and the law cannot be resolved for a while, it will be handed over to them to persuade and settle it.
The Public Officials Investigation Committee is composed of five people and is responsible for monitoring the employment status of middle and low-level public officials and establishing files for future promotion as a reference. At the same time, if some people report a public official, they still need to investigate whether it is true and give a response.
There are also three coin committees. Most of the Greek city-states mint their own coins. One is to facilitate transactions and make profits; the other is to commemorate important events and sacrifice to gods; and the third is to promote their existence to other city-states. Of course, the Tua Alliance is no exception. They are waiting for the completion of the reconstruction of Tua, and they will release their first batch of coins...
In addition, there are some temporary committees, such as the temple preparation committee, which is in charge of Plessinas. The veterans of these committees hold the same posts as public officials.
Although October is not the general election day of the Tua League, it is a good day for various departments to recruit public officials after the "Union Public Service Law" was promulgated. According to the conditions of the citizens, the candidates who passed the test should be selected: participating in the military for many times, paying taxes on time, abiding by laws and regulations, and those who have made merits in battle or have paid the injuries bravely are preferred. The first two are mandatory. They do not join the army, pay no taxes, and are not qualified to serve as public officials. Disabled citizens have to see whether it will affect their work.
Just when the senators in the Senate were busy and dizzy, and the citizens were busy taking up public office, Daves met a special guest at the mansion in Turei.
This is a strong middle-aged man. Although wearing Greek clothes, he can't hide the sturdy wildness of the mountains. Sure enough, under the watch of the guards, he spoke in a weird Greek pronunciation: "Dear Tua League Archon, Avinojis of Laos asked me to greet you on his behalf. I am his brother. Alobmas."
Davers' heart was shocked, his expression unchanged, and he slowly said: "Laos? Laos of Lucania?!"
"Yes." Alobumas stared at Daves, and said simply: "Although Laos belongs to Lucania now, my brother and I are both Greeks!"
Of course Daves knew about this, but he still looked the same, turned his head and glanced at Asistes next to him.
Asistes knew, and immediately came out and asked: "As far as we know, Avinojis is an important leader of Laos. Before Lucaria and Turrii battled, he It is one of the main enemies of our Tua Alliance to strongly support the Lucalia Alliance and Turrii. It does not matter whether he is a Greek or not!"
Arobumas didn’t expect that the other party knew him very well, and it was useless to play family cards. He was a little panicked: “We are really Greeks! Laos is a colonial city built by Subaris, a hundred years ago by Luca. The Leahs went south, and the city of Subaris was destroyed by Crotone. No city-state sent troops to rescue Laos. We Laos had no choice. In order to protect the people, we had to vote for Lucalia, but we did not. Forgetting the blood of the noble Greeks flowing in our blood, we are speaking Greek at home, worshiping the great gods Apollo and Hera, and looking forward to returning to Greece one day! Because of this, Lucani Yaren are very defensive against us, oppressing us, humiliating us, and treating us as aliens. We are destroyed in order not to be suspected by them, and at some point have to make some actions that violate our own wishes!"
Arobumas said excitedly, and looked straight at Daves with a respectful look: "And since I heard the Archon you annihilate the Lucanian tribes with less victory, my brother and I They are all very excited! Unexpectedly, it was not long before you once again led the army to defeat the mighty Crotone, and became the master of Amendorara and Turíy, thus adjoining the territory of Lucania! My brother admires your great military achievements, and sincerely hopes to get your help, so that we, the descendants of Subaris and the city of Laos who have suffered, can return to the embrace of the Greeks!"
Daves was not moved by the praise of Arobumas, and he nodded slightly calmly: "What kind of help do you need from the Tua Alliance?"
"My brother hopes to form an alliance with the Tua Alliance, and plans to take back Laos and fight against the Lucanians together!" Alobumas said excitedly.
Sure enough! Daves secretly said in his heart, his expression still calm: "What kind of covenant?"
"Just as the Tua Alliance signed with Castellon--" Alobumas recalled what Avinojis taught him: "As an alliance, the Tua Alliance does not interfere in the internal affairs of the allied states. , Just master... diplomacy... diplomatic power and war... leadership..."
Obviously, Avinojis conducted a detailed investigation of the Tua League and came prepared, which shows that they value this visit! After Davers grasped the situation, his expression still appeared flat, and said, "I see, you should go to the hotel to rest first, and then I can give you an answer after discussing with the elders of the Senate."
"I hope the Archon will give me an answer as soon as possible!" Alobumas said anxiously.
"Why?" Davers pretended to be puzzled.
Arobumas was speechless for a while.
Asistus smiled on the side and said, "It’s because Niutum has elected a new leader, and he urged Avinojis to lead the tribe to move to Niutum, right?"
Alobmas was dumbfounded: The people of the Tua Alliance know everything!
"Well, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Only then did Daves say with certainty.
After Alobmas left nervously, Daves asked: "Yasi, what do you think of the requirements of the Laos people?"
"My lord, just as we analyzed before, Avinojis was forced to resist, but according to his current situation, we made further requests, and he would definitely agree. Give him A covenant like Castellon is too cheap for him!" Assistus said unwillingly.
Davos shook his head and said, "Although Avinojis can only rely on us after rebelling against Lucania. But if our requirements are too demanding, Avinojis will be dissatisfied. Once something accident happens, it is likely to cause his rebellion again! We are west of the mountain and have no foundation. We must rely on Laos’s full help, and as long as Laos joins our alliance, then we are in the Apennines. There will be a foothold on the west coast, which will greatly promote the trade development of our alliance! Therefore, we must look farther and don’t care about the slightest interests!"
Davos said what made Asistes ashamed and nodded again and again, and then he heard Daves say: "Of course, I am not asking for nothing. My request is-Niutum! "
