At night, the Amendorara Senate is brightly lit by candles.

Daves, Cornelus, the five famous citizens who stood on the stage with Cornelus before, as well as Sesta, Adrianx, Icapus, The company captains headed by Antonios and even Daves insisted on calling Helps, Merses, Ledes, Assistus, and the captains of each unit. Dozens of people gathered together to discuss Amen. Reconstruction of Dorara.

As the sole governor for life, Daves naturally became the chief senator of the Senate, sitting in the middle of the circular conference hall: "Citizens, the reconstruction of Amendorara has a lot of work and time is pressing. We are first To complete the election of members of the Senate."

Davers said solemnly: "The Senate, as an important authority in the city-state of Amendorara, is composed of the most experienced and wise elites among the city-state citizens. It advises and advises the consul. Advise and select candidates for various high-ranking officials for approval by the consul, and supervise the operation of the city-state, from auditing finances to the morals and customs of citizens, and have the power to propose bills. The high-ranking officials of the city-state are also from the Senate Members of the Senate are elected. Therefore, the senators of the Senate must also have certain administrative skills. This is what you who were once mercenaries lacked. Fortunately, there is not a large population in Amendora, so you must learn from practice. , And humbly ask Cornellus and the respected old citizens for advice..."

A twenty-year-old young man was in front of the old-fashioned teachings, and a group of thirty-forty-year-old men nodded seriously in the back. This situation did not make Cornellus feel funny. What surprised him was: this It is said that a young man from a remote village in Sesali who has never lived in the city is so familiar with the political structure of the city-state of Amendorara. Is it really the so-called enlightenment of Hades? !

In a daze, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored Daves' tampering with part of the functions of the Senate.

"Now I propose Cornelus, Tritodemos, Stromboli, Scombras, and Raphaas as the senators of the Senate."

Except for Cornelus, who was the senator of the Senate before, the other five people were not. Daves paid back for their previous efforts to the mercenaries and his platform, and at the same time fulfilled his promise. Except for Cornelus, the other five couldn't help but smile.

"Agree!" The team officials in the venue raised their hands. They were not completely blindly following Daves, but also out of guilt: they had to make up for taking their land and taking away their rights. a bit.

"Sesta, Adrianx, and Dracos, as the leaders of the mercenaries, should enter the Senate." Daves continued.

"Agree!" Not only were the team officials raising their hands to express their opinions, the newly promoted veterans also began to perform their duties.

At this moment, Sesta whispered a few words with Adrianx, stood up, walked to the center of the venue, and said loudly: "Adrianx and Dracos entrusted me to tell everyone here, especially It’s the consul to express our gratitude! When we came to Great Greece, we only wanted to earn some money and make a living, but we didn’t expect to become citizens of Amendorara, let alone enter the Senate! These are all consuls. We have nothing to do with the kindness that everyone here has given us, and we will definitely contribute our full strength to Amendorara!"

"Wow" applause rang out, and the former mercenary team officers clapped vigorously. Daves watched Sesta retreat to his seat, and had a new impression of the mercenary leader who had only been in contact a few times.

"Felicius, Antonius, Capus, Amintas, Alexis, Hiros, Hironimos, Agarcia, Epithenis, Spite, Alpen The twelve senior team officers of the mercenaries, Leidse and Ledes, and the two heads of their respective departments, Merses and Helps, I recommend them to become senators of the Senate." Davers continued.

"Agree!!" This time the voice of approval became louder.

Davos glanced over the familiar faces of Matonis, Olivers, Asistes, Geogris, and Martius sitting in the back row, and said calmly: "As for everyone Team leader and other personnel, I do not plan to recommend you to enter the Senate for the time being."

As soon as the voice fell, someone in the back row sighed, but no one dared to question Davers's words.

Daves’ expression remained unchanged, and continued to explain: “Because most of you are still very young (when you say this, Daves obviously didn’t count yourself, and others took it for granted) for a few months Before, they were still soldiers, lacking experience in managing city-states and dealing with political affairs, but don’t be discouraged, as long as you actively participate in city-state affairs and strive to improve yourself. As I said before, the Senate is always open to the outstanding citizens of the city-state. Of!"

Davers' words of encouragement made the team leaders refreshed.

Davers went on to say to the newly promoted Senate senators: "Although the Senate senator is not paid, he is in a distinguished position in the city-state. I hope you can prove that you are worthy of this lofty position with your performance. According to what I discussed with Cornelus before, once I enter the Senate, he will be a senator for life (this is the benefit Davers gives Cornelus to them, which is actually what Davers expects). I don’t hope this is the case. I will discuss with you some regulations on the elders of the Senate. Anyone who is not qualified for this position or violates the laws of the city state should consciously withdraw from the Senate or be removed by the Senate. "

When everyone heard it, their hearts suddenly stunned.

"The election of the senators in the Senate, I think it's over here. Cornelus, what else do you want to add?" Davers asked his adjutant in power politely.

As the only former senator of the Senate in this venue, Cornelus had never had a chance to speak because of Davers’s strength. Now he feels it is necessary to tell these novices: "Everyone, first of all. I want to let everyone know that not only the senators of the Senate are not paid, but the other administrative positions of Amendorara do not have even one Opal's salary. It is the honor of every citizen to serve the city-state!..." Cornellus I took the opportunity to educate these new citizens of Amendorara, and then reminded Daves: "There are 100 senators in the Amendorara Senate, and it is far from enough now—"

"If you don’t have enough, just leave it idle, and then there will be a suitable candidate to make up!" Daves interrupted him disapprovingly, so that he would not be constrained by Amendorara’s traditional system, let alone listen to Cole. Nerus relied on old-fashioned preaching. At the same time, he believes that rushing to fill up the number of senior citizens will only reduce the quality and ability of the senior citizens. And more than 20 senators in the Senate are enough for the Amendorara population of only nearly 5,000.

Cornerus opened his mouth and didn't persuade him.

"What administrative positions does Amendorara currently have?" Daves continued to ask him.

"The chief executive of the city, he is responsible for assisting the consul in managing city-state affairs, maintaining urban order, and in charge of litigation. It has patrol, fire brigade, and prison departments under its jurisdiction. This position changes every year, and the Senate—" Cornelus looked at Daves, and Daves was also staring at him. He hesitated for a moment and changed his words: "The Senate proposes the candidate, and the consul will make the final decision..."

Daves sighed secretly, Cornelus was still acquainted: He was not very familiar with the various public offices of the Greek city-states, Athens and Sparta were just typical of them, and there were hundreds of Greek city-states. Even if their political systems are roughly the same, there are vast differences within. But he is very familiar with the system of Rome. He has also taken courses in this area in his previous university. The system of Amendorara is somewhat similar to that of Rome, and the post of city administrator is somewhat similar to that of the legal officer in Rome. Therefore, he moved in his heart and said to Cornelus: "It seems that the duties of the city chief and the ruling adjutant are not only the same, but also more comprehensive and accepted by the citizens. I think you will be responsible for Cornelus. Well, the post of ruling adjutant is my negligence. It is obviously redundant and can be removed."
