Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 16: Asistus Debriefing (2)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

My lords, as far as I know, when the Third Legion first occupied Elona, ​​the Campanians were afraid of the kingdom. They didn’t want to face a stronger With the threat of the country, the Campania League held such a mentality and signed the alliance treaty with us tremblingly. I think they were psychologically resistant to us at the time, but after all these years we...especially Hainaut With Na’s efforts, the Campania’s fear is disappearing, but the love for the kingdom is increasing! Many Campania people think that our kingdom of Dionian is a very wealthy, culturally rich, and friendly Greek kingdom. They can find work in the kingdom’s territory and can earn money to support their families. Will not be too much exploited, so so far, about 800 Campanians have officially become Dionian citizens in Enona, and about 1,400 Campanians have become preliminary citizens. There are about 3,000 Campanians on the register who want to become Dionian citizens, and this number is increasing! ……"

Asistes finished speaking, the elders applauded. This time it was obviously not out of courtesy, but an affirmation of his achievements in Enona in the past few years. At the same time, he was also gaining a presence in Italy for his kingdom. Proud of being recognized by the people of a powerful city-state alliance.

After the applause weakened, Hermon stood up: "Master Asistes, Enona is a special town. It is special in that it not only borders the Campanians, but also closes Samonais. For the same Diorian but unruly Samonais, have you taken the same measures to make Enona become a bridge between the Samonais and the kingdom? ?"

Compared with the previous question, this question is a little better to answer, and it's completely a sub-question, so Asistes nodded tacitly to Hermon: "Thank you Master Hermon for your question. It is true that Enona is also adjacent to the Samonais, mainly Kautini, one of the four tribes of Samona. However, unlike the Campania Alliance, Enona is not the only one with Samona. Kingdom territory bordered by people, Kopsa and Liberty City Potentia are neighbors of the Samonaites. All three of us have been working hard to improve the relationship with the Samonaites.

After all, the Samonais are different from the Campanians. They are not Greeks, and their customs are completely different from ours. Moreover, they have been hostile to the Campanians in the past and are obviously wary of our kingdom. Although I have made various attempts to make it easier for the Samonais to enter the city of Enona to buy, sell or work, few Samonais have entered the city of Enona in the past few years... However, since I was three years ago After deciding to establish the town of Baparia in the valley of Nuceria in the northern part of Enona, next to Cautini, the town is now developing rapidly—"

When Asistes said this, Daves suddenly said: "Laconia...isn’t the chief of this town of Kautini Quinduk?"

"Your Majesty, it is Quinduk, the leader of Kautini who was captured by you. He turned out to be the leader of the largest Kautini tribe in Laconia." Asistes replied, "He treated We Dionia are fairly friendly."

Davers nodded. At the time Samone’s army that invaded Potentia was defeated, and several noble leaders of Samone were captured. Quinduk, Gherney, and even Pentney’s leader Torek were all under the ranks. The prisoners, for a certain purpose, Daves treated them kindly, and even let them stay in Turíy for a while, treating them like VIPs, and was finally released back to Samona with the other prisoners, see Not only did Gailny come, Quindock also changed his attitude towards Dionia...

Assistes saw that Daves was not speaking, so he continued: "We all know that the Samonais live in mountainous areas and mainly live on grazing. There is insufficient food to feed a large number of people. Therefore, for decades, it has been mainly the Cavutini who have continuously attacked the Campania League in order to obtain more land. Ten years ago, the Samoneites also attacked Potentia, and finally Defeated by his Majesty’s army, he had to become our alliance.

In the town of Baparia, we have built a market to sell grains and other foods to the Samonais. The Samonais can barter with us for any goods without using gold. Silver coins, of course, the ore, prey, and livestock they bring... must be valued first, and we try to be fair. Over time, the Samonaites who were dealing with us gradually abandoned their guard. In order to obtain more grains and bring them back to the tribe, many of their tribes began to enter the town of Baparia and accept employment from the citizens of the town. , Felling trees, clearing wasteland, plowing farmland...in exchange for rewards. To date, at the busiest time in the town of Barparia, nearly 300 Samonais are working in the town in one day.

At the same time, they are also slowly accepting some of our customs and habits, such as playing rugby games. Many Samonais like this sport with intense physical impact, which is very suitable for fierce Samona fighters to play. I believe In one or two years, there will be a team of Samonais participating in the Kingdom’s Rugby Finals..."

At this time, Daves said again: "This year there is a team of Samonais invited by Turie to participate. It comes from Abenirum near Kopsar."

Asisters was taken aback, and then smiled: "It seems that Master Xima has done a better job than me in this respect."

Another person in the veteran group stood up: "Master Asistes, I want to know how the faith of Hades spread in Campania?"

Asistes took a look, the questioner was Plycinus. As the scepter priest of the Temple of Hades, Plycinus will certainly have some understanding of the development of the temples in the cities. Raising this question at this time is actually still a question of giving points. So while Asistes nodded to Plycinus, he glanced at Mariji in the corner of the venue.

He knew in his heart that although Mariji was a rare senator from Persia in the kingdom, he seemed to be alone in the Senate, but in fact he was a liaison between the former mercenary senator and other senators. Of course, behind him stood King Daves. Therefore, in today's questions, three consecutive questions are focused on the most outstanding areas of his six years in Enrona, which are obviously instructions from Daves.

He suppressed his gratitude to King Davos, and said as calmly as possible: "Although the Temple of Hades in Enrona is not under the jurisdiction of the City Hall, the City Hall is trying its best to serve as the Temple of Hades. For example, every time it sells grains and medicinal materials to the temple at a very low price, and even provides labor and doctors when the temple is under-staffed, it provides assistance to the Campania and Samo who enter Enona. Nai people, we have conducted a lot of guidance, so that they can go to the temple for help if they have difficulties...

In the past few years, the Temple of Hades has rescued countless people who are hungry, have no place to live, and are sick... outsiders with various difficulties, and let them return to their home country with gratitude, one after another. Many small altars of Hades have been built in Pompeii, Naples, Solentum... and even some tribes in Samona. Pompeii even started to hold Hades celebrations with Enona on September 9th each year.

Samonets are slightly different. They not only began to believe in Hades, but they also respected Hercules. Therefore, Enrona not only built the Temple of Hades in the town of Baparia, but also the Temple of Hercules. Every year, the Hercules celebration on May 20th, many Samonaes will run Come to Baparia, take an active part in the Hercules competition and other competitions..."

After Asistes finished speaking, Plesinas said immediately: "Thank you, Assistes, for your help over the years, so that Hades' faith can spread quickly in central Italy!"

After Plaisinus sat down, he stood up and another elder, this was Bruti Elder Krelu. As a young veteran, the question he asked was not so polite: "Master Asistes, as far as I know, before you took office, Enrona territory was full of forests and huge trees were everywhere. And in your six years in power, almost all the trees in your territory have been cut down. Don’t you think this is too much?!"

Asisters smiled and replied, "Thank you, Lord Kleiro, for your concern about Enona’s surroundings! I want to explain this question. First of all, Enona’s tree felling was obtained. The approval of the Ministry of Agriculture is not illegal or arbitrary."

Speaking, he looked at Burkos, Minister of Agriculture. Ten years ago, Burkos resigned from the post of agricultural officer because of the Pollux case. Bajilippi, who took over the post, died of illness a few years later. At that time, at the time when the kingdom’s agriculture was busiest, Great Greece accepted too much. New citizens, their field work needs guidance and supervision, and the newly acquired land in Mesapi and Puchetti urgently needs planning and reasonable allocation. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture urgently needs a capable leader. Daves again points The general of Burkos. Under his persuasion, Burkos returned to this familiar and unfamiliar position and stayed now.

At this moment, Burks recalled for a moment, and then said: "This is indeed agreed by the Ministry of Agriculture. Six years ago, Lord Asistes made a request to your majesty. After consulting with us, your majesty decided to Most of the amount of trees allowed to be felled in various parts of the kingdom is allocated to Enrona. This may give you the impression of a large-scale felling of Lord Crelu."
