"Great!" Daves finally couldn't help but stand up excitedly: "Little Heraclid, you can think of this is really amazing!"

"My lord, this is not my own idea. It is a proposal after discussing with other members of the Road Bureau." Little Heraclid said truthfully. He was a little puzzled: it was just some road reconstruction ideas. How could this young and wise, if god-given archon, be so excited?

Of course he would not understand that what Davos was thinking at the moment was the ethnic characteristics of the Greeks. Through historical materials from previous lives and his personal experience in this era, he feels that the Greeks are indeed an excellent race. They have created a splendid civilization in terms of science and technology, culture, military, politics, sports, etc. But why is it Rome? Wasn't Greece, and later unified the Mediterranean?

Daves believes that there are some fatal flaws in the national identity of the Greeks: too much self-pursuing to form unity, too unrestrained enthusiasm and lack of practical toughness, building countless magnificent temples, arenas, and theaters The various Greek city-states in China were unable to keep their cities clean and tidy... So Davos started from being a mercenary leader and used strict military laws to restrain unsophisticated mercenaries, and deliberately slowly guided and changed the Greek people.

Little Heraclid’s Road Bureau was able to notice these details and make changes. This serious, practical and considerate approach to the people certainly made the doctor gratified. He praised: "My vision is correct. You are not only an excellent road and bridge architect, but you can also become a good road chief and manage the road system in the Dionian League!"

Heraclide, Jr. faced the praise, although he was a little embarrassed, but still continued: "The avenue reconstruction will cost a lot. I am worried about the Senate——"

"Don't worry, the Senate will approve your proposal." Daves assured: "The benefits of the avenue to Dionia are huge. The reconstruction of the avenue will only allow people to travel, The transportation of goods is more convenient, which is a good thing, and no amount of expense is worth it."

"Then I will rest assured!" Little Heraclid was sincerely grateful to Daves, it was this young man who made him and his father no longer drift away! It was this young man who made him find his career! And it was the support of this young man that made him stand out in Dionian politics!

"How is your father's health?"

Daves’ words brought him back to his senses: “It’s not so good. Recently, I often stay awake at night, keep coughing, and see bloodshot eyes in my sputum... I told him to rest more at home, the temple has Piasikos stared, there won't be any problems, but he just won't listen!" Little Heraclid said worriedly.

Davos sighed secretly. In fact, Helps, who had treated Heraclid before, told him quietly: This stubborn thin old man has run out of time...

Daves comforted softly: "Your father treats the newly-built Turiyi City as his own child. He can't worry about it! Don't worry, I will let the Helps send doctor to take care of your father at any time... "

……………………

Send Heraclid Jr. away, Daves stretched and prepared to go back to the backyard to accompany his sleeping wife and children.

At this time, the slave master Ribazzo came in and told: "Master, four adults, Felicius, Baggul, Vespa, and Hermon, beg to see you."

Of course, Daves knows why these people came. This is a major event related to whether Dionia’s arrangement during this period will finally be effective. He has to shake up his spirits: "Please, four elders of the Senate Come in."

Speaking of Daves, he is also a little helpless. Public officials in several cities of the Dionian League, such as city administrators, judges, tax officers, etc., have offices-the city hall, which controls the entire league. Apart from discussing state affairs, discussing and enacting bills in the Senate’s Grand Chamber, the senators with the highest authority have no personal office space, including the sole governing officer and chief senator Daves of the league. Therefore, the living room of their own residence is the same. It became Davers’s usual office space, and most of the other veterans were like this. The Senate had discussed several times to build a magnificent office building for the veterans of the entire alliance. Based on various factors such as funds and manpower, this The advice is still on paper.

After the four people were seated, Felicius, the military officer, first said: "Master Daves, we are here to ask you whether we should start the plan to capture Grumentum?"

"How is the situation in Grumentum now?" Daves asked earnestly. In fact, he had already passed Aristiras to understand the situation in the Lucaria area.

"Consultant." Hermon leaned forward and said, "Not long after Potentia repelled Picsis and captured Grumentum, their leader Puamote returned with the main force. After the city of Potentia, only his brother Pollet led two thousand tribal warriors to garrison the city of Grumentum. The son of Akpiru, the former leader of Grumentum, also stayed. In the city, assist Pollet to manage Grumentum."

Davers smiled: "That Lusau who was betrayed by his own people?! Potentians really dare to use him?!"

"My lord, you are right. It was a mistake that Puamote left Lusau!" Weisba took the conversation and sneered: "I have dealt with Lusau. He is bullying and fearing hard work. , And extremely vengeful, it was he who led the army to drive my tribe into the mountains... It is said that when he was in Potentia, he flattered Puamote like a dog, perhaps because of this, Puam The special talent mistakenly believed that he would help Potentia stabilize Grumentum’s governance.

However, Lusau returned to Grumentum and got the refuge of several tribes. His strength was strengthened, and his work began to become arrogant. Although the leaders of the tribes that had betrayed him had been killed by Sinsing Nagar, Lusau did not spare those tribes. He often sent new tribes to provoke disputes, and then used the excuse of disobeying control. Punish them, and take the opportunity to encroach on their settlements and pastures... His orders to Polett are often verbally agreed, and they are not carried out at all secretly, and even go against them.

The warriors from Potentia relied on them to be the victors, and they also oppressed the Grumentums in the city. It is said that Polett treats the tribes inside and outside Grumentum fairly mildly, but He couldn't control his men, let alone make Lusau obey his orders.

Now, the Grumentums hate the Lusawu and the Potentians! "Weissba said, taking a look at Hermon: "So after the messengers that Hermon and I sent to the city quietly contacted them, they were warmly welcomed by them. They eagerly hope that we can drive away the Tia from Pau! "

"The Grumentum people hate Lusau, but we should thank him!" Daves said jokingly, and everyone laughed.

Davers asked again: "What do they want?"

"They are willing to join Dionia, but hope that after we seize Grumentum, we can allow them to move to Niutum, and give them land that is no less than their current residence and pasture. Like the tribes of Niutum, Dionia must not interfere in their management of the people. For this reason, they are willing to provide the greatest help for Dionia to seize the city of Grummentum."

After listening to Hermon's words, Daves was a little surprised: "Their requirements are so simple?!"

"In the beginning, they asked for much more than these, but our people made them realize that they had betrayed Lusau, betrayed Cincinnag, and now they want to drive away the Potentians, then they The only reliance is our Dionian Alliance. It’s not a smart person’s approach to make things difficult for the owner who wants to protect himself in the future!" Hermon said with some contentment: "The Lucanians are peaceful and peaceful in Dionian. The good reputation of their lives and the alliance has always kept their promises, so that they finally choose to cooperate with us."

"Since this is the case, why didn't they stay in Grumentum after we captured Grumentum? After all, it is their homeland." Daves was puzzled.

"My lord, that's because they are afraid!" Bagul said contemptuously, "Because they think Potentia and Picosis will fight for Grumentum again in the future, they dare not face it again. Angry at them!"

"These guys are sensible." Davers muttered. To be honest, he left these capricious tribes in Grumentum, but he was not at ease. Since they knowingly and voluntarily left, Daves will of course retaliate: "Niutum still has extra ranch to accommodate. Are they?"

"Not at the moment." Weisba said hesitantly, "However, I have negotiated with all the tribe leaders in Niutum, and some tribes are willing to move to Grumentum, with these Grummen. The settlements of the Thum tribe are exchanged, but they hope to be compensated by the iron ore mining rights of Grumentum."

Davos shook his head slightly. The iron ore of Grumentum has long been coveted by some senators in the Senate. Elders such as Massissacus have approached him several times, hoping to contract the iron ore of Grumentum.

He pondered for a while, and said: "It is impossible to own the mining rights, but they can get part of the iron ore income. How much is it? Hemon, you can talk to them, but it cannot exceed 20%. The prerequisite is They provide manpower to participate in mining and ore transportation."

"Okay, I will go to Niutum to discuss with them tomorrow." Hermon nodded.

"Are the soldiers ready? The raid plan has been drawn up?" Daves turned his gaze to Baggul on the side.
