"This issue, after you discuss and decide with Geogris, you will implement it yourself." Daves tapped the table with his fingers and solemnly said: "Yasi, you mentioned the river port just now. Rome’s merchant ships use Castellella and Antium as transshipment ports. It is quite troublesome whether to reach Rome by land or by water. Therefore, in order to better develop Rome in the future, Ostia must be rebuilt as soon as possible. .

As for the population issue, we just want to return Antiium, Villitre and Sartnikum to Wolsey, then move the population of these three cities to Ostia (actually , It can only be counted as the population of the two cities. The people of Satnikum are not much left because of the plague)..."

Asistes looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, your proposal is very good! But whether it is to rebuild Ostia or relocate the population of the three towns, this is beyond me as a Roman administrator. The duties of an officer."

Daves smiled slightly: "Probably tomorrow, the new appointment letter from the Senate will arrive, and you will be appointed as the war governor of the Latham area."

Daves’s words were beyond Asistus’s expectations, and he couldn’t believe it. After all, the governor in the Kingdom of Dionia was recognized as the most powerful high-ranking official. So far, only Sedorum, Cipros, and Antonios have served. These three have outstanding abilities, and each represents a large force, and now he himself has squeezed into the top ranks of the kingdom’s political arena. His mood was both excited and nervous, and his voice was a little trembling: "Your Majesty...you mean to let me...be the governor of the Latham area?!"

"What? You don't want to?" Daves looked at him with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me, I will do my best to fulfill the duties of the Governor!" Asistes immediately expressed his gratitude to Davers. He was very clear in his heart: If there were no Davers's I strongly recommend that, given that he is less than 50 years old, it might be a bit difficult for him to sit in this position.

"Promoted to governor, the power is greater, but the responsibility is greater!" Daves said with a serious face, "Latinem area is the center of the kingdom's northward expansion strategy. There are many races here and the relationship is complicated. In the past, it was an area with frequent wars. As outsiders, the people under our jurisdiction are mainly local indigenous people-Latins. How can we ensure the safety of our territory here? How can we ensure the stability of the entire region? How can we make the people here Support the kingdom?... These are the issues that you need to focus on next and urgently need to be resolved. I hope you can unite and cooperate with the chief executives such as Antrapolis, Nicomacus, and Theis to strengthen the cities and towns here. The exchanges between the two have turned our territory here into a monolithic piece, laying the foundation for the next step to continue northward!"

Asistes nodded vigorously. He looked solemn and did not speak, obviously feeling the pressure.

Davers patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "I believe that with your abilities, you can manage this new position! If you encounter any difficult-to-solve problems, you can also write to me directly! "

Asistes' eyes lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Daves turned to look at the commander of the Fifth Army: "Along with the appointment letter of Asistes, there is another appointment letter issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Geogris, you will be appointed as Commander of the Latham area!"

"Me?!" Geogris was extremely surprised, half-opened his mouth, with food stuffed in his mouth, and looked funny. He hurriedly shook his head: "I can't! I can't! This job should be done by Arminta. S...Martonis...Lizaru...Even Olivers...one of them served, because they all made quite a lot of exploits!"

"Who has a lot of military exploits and seniority is not the primary factor in becoming a commander in the Latinam area." Daves drank a sip of wine and said seriously: "It depends on who is the most suitable first! When I announced in the camp which legion was willing to stay in Latham, only your active request to stay has determined the ownership of this commander's position! Now is the time of war, Latham is the area we have just conquered, and the kingdom needs A commander sits here, but he does not need him to actively expand, but he needs to strictly restrain the army, and at the same time train the soldiers patiently, pay close attention to the situation in this area, and prevent any possible accidents.

When the enemy does appear, he will not only command his own army, but also command the reserve forces in each town, as well as coordinate and command the allied troops in the entire Latham area, and you happen to be the most suitable candidate. ! "

"Gioglis, congratulations! I also think you are the most suitable candidate for the commander of the Latham area. I hope that we can cooperate happily and jointly maintain the political stability of this area!" Asistes is also sincere. Congratulations to Geogris.

Giogris did not postpone any more. He thanked Daves and said: He will perform his duties as a commander and protect the Latam area!

………………………………

Daves sent away two of the kingdom's most prominent men in the Latham area.

After the servant took down the banquet in the living room and cleaned it up, only Daves and Cloto Kataks were left in the living room.

"What do you think about their appointment?" Davers asked his son suddenly.

"Master Asistes is outstanding, and it is convincing to be governor of Latham! But Master Geogris..." Although Cloto Kataks did not finish his words, he has already expressed his thoughts. Fully revealing.

Daves looked at him and asked seriously: "Before I came to Rome, you were also present at the military meeting held at the Sartnikum barracks. When I said,'Before I set out to Sicily, I need When Latam stayed behind a legion, in addition to Geogris's initiative to express his willingness, did other legion commanders also expressed this desire?"

Klotokatax replied simply: "No! Even Master Amintas thought, ‘Latinum has been completely conquered, there is no need to stay in the army.’"

Davers sneered: "Then this approach of pursuing one's own honor and wanting to gain more military exploits, rather than considering the overall situation and sacrificing one's own interests, is worth promoting?"

Clotokatax thoughtfully: "... So father, you let Geogris become the commander of the Latinam is a reward for him, and it is also a silent criticism of other commanders?"

Davers lightly chins his head and said: "In addition, Geogris usually seems a little clumsy, unlike Ammentas and Matonis, they are bold and active, but every time they are handed to him He can accomplish all tasks, and so far, his legion has the least casualties."

Krotokatax thought about it carefully: Indeed, the 5th Army is the most complete army.

"So based on these two points, Geogris is undoubtedly the most suitable person to serve as the commander of the Latinam among these legion leaders." Daves warned softly: "Clotto, as a superior, Don’t use your personal likes and dislikes to influence your judgment on your subordinates. Only based on his performance in actual affairs and behaviors at critical moments can you make an accurate evaluation of them, arrange suitable positions for them, and enable them to perform. The greatest ability......"

After listening, Cloto Kataks nodded earnestly, indicating that he understood.

Davers gave a light cough and asked, "Do you have any other ideas about Asistus becoming Governor of Latham?"

Klotokes was surprised and asked, "Father, is there any problem with this appointment?"

Daves looked at him with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Asistes himself has no problem, he is indeed the most suitable candidate for Governor Lam! But you shouldn't ignore his background. His uncle Antonios is now the governor of the Dawney region, his father-in-law Visbah is now one of the rotating chairmen of the Senate, and his elder brother-in-law Bagul has been the chief executive of an important town in the kingdom. The prestige among the people is very high, and there is also a lot of prestige in the Senate.

This time the Apulia area was harassed by the remnants of the former escaped forces, and the Pucheti area became the focus of the attack. Someone in the Senate proposed to let Silvim Chief Executive Bagul as Pucheti The wartime governor... If I approve this proposal, then three governors plus a rotating chairman of the Senate, Assistes, as the core figure in this power network, will inevitably become in the Kingdom of Dionia, except Outside of me, the most powerful person, what do you think about this? "

Clotokatax did not think of this level before. He was surprised at first and then fell into thinking, but in the end he couldn't help but persuade: "Father, I heard Master Asistes is here. Persian has always followed you and is one of your most reliable subordinates. You should not be suspicious of him."

Daves’ expression became serious: “Son, I certainly know that Asistes is loyal to me. I even know that he rejected Antonios’s bid more than 10 years ago and did not serve Antonio in the Senate. The candidate for the chief executive of Naxos selected by Sri Lanka provides support. However, always being vigilant in power is a basic ability that a king must possess! Power is prone to corruption, and highly concentrated power is more likely to make people become more powerful. Ambition, the use of power for personal gain, the exchange of money and power, and even rebellions and wars...I believe that you should have a lot of understanding when you follow Ancitanos to study the past history of the Mediterranean countries in the academy.
