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

Daves patiently explained to him: "Which one is better to force them to work with sticks or to do them voluntarily?"

"Of course it is the latter."

"More importantly, I don’t want them to be slaves, but I want them to be citizens of Amendorara. Only in this way will we continue to grow our strength! And you think about it, one day, when Lucani When the indigenous people of Asia were shaking with fear under the threat of our shield and spear, they saw that some soldiers in our team had the same looks and spoke the same language, but they were wearing Greek armor and eating Greek food. Food, talk to the Greeks without restraint, what do they think?"

Asistes pondered for a while, and said uncertainly: "They might surrender."

"Yes, Baggul is a role model for the Lucanians. Let them know that if they surrender to us, they will not be abused, but will live a good life. Think of the Persian way of dealing with aliens, and we Will do better than Persia, because we will treat aliens more equally, accept them as our citizens more tolerantly, and let them enjoy the same rights as us. Only in this way will the barrier between them and us be eliminated. It will make Amendorara become stronger quickly!..." Daves said earnestly and passionately. On the way forward in this era, he does not want to be a lone traveler. He wants his political ideas Spread to people around, infect them, and change the narrow-minded city-state thinking of the Greeks.

Asisters was convinced: "My lord Archon, you think so far!"

"Yasi, I heard that you didn’t choose a wife this time. Are you interested in choosing a Lucanian woman to be your wife? Or, I’ll ask Baggul if he has any sisters. Be a relative with him." Daves said jokingly.

Asistus immediately remembered Baggul's ferocious appearance, and shook his head again and again.

"Really, if you really marry a Lucania woman. When we conquer the Lucania region one day, maybe I will appoint you as Governor of Lucania." Daves half-joked Said semi-seriously.

The Governor? ! Asistes remembered seeing the majestic appearance of the Governor of Asia Minor Tisafonis in Persia. As a young man, he was really moved. He did not think about it. In the entire Mediterranean region, the position of governor is only available to the Persian Empire, and only the Persian king can appoint the governor...

Looking at the back of Asistes leaving, Davers is still thinking: whether to establish a low-level public office under the consul—the clerk, so that Asistes can do things right and right, and Daves It is also possible to cultivate a group of like-minded young people by personal experience, who will become his good assistants in governing the city-state in the future.

Daves was thinking, Christia came in and told him: "Olivers is here."

Davos is a little confused: what's the matter with this guy coming so late?

Olivers’ voice has already come in: "My lord Archon, your house is so big! If no one leads me, I will definitely get lost... Oh, this marble statue is really good, which master is it? A masterpiece? Look at the outlines of these muscles..." Olivers babbled in a big conversation.

Daves looked at him: "If you don't talk about business anymore, I will drive you out!"

"Don't! Don't! I really have something to ask for your help!" Olivers said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, you must help me with this matter!" He pleaded.

"What's the matter?!" Daves was impatient on the surface, and became more interested in Oliver's affairs in his heart.

Olivers suddenly became twisted and whispered? : "I think...I want to ask you to help me... kiss to... to Maliji."

"What? Proposing a marriage?" Daves really didn't hear it this time.

Olivers took a breath and then said loudly: "I am in love with Mariji's daughter Mitra, and want you to help me kiss Mariji!"

Davers understands it now: It turns out that Matonis and the others are actually joking in the past few days! When did this guy fall in love with Mariji's daughter?

Davos can't remember what Mariji's daughter looks like, she only remembers that she is a petite, shy girl.

"Do you like people, do they like you?" Daves must first clarify this question.

"Of course she would like to be with me!" Olivers said confidently.

"Does Mariji know about this?" Davers asked again.

"He doesn't know. However, Mitra's mother approves of the relationship between us, but she can't be the master."

Of course she can't be the master. In this era, whether it is Greeks or Persians, men are the masters. If we put it aside, with Oliver's bohemian behavior, Daves would not consider this matter at all, but since that incident, he has indeed changed a lot. Not only would he not rob women, but would dissuade others. One is his savior, and the other is a talent he will regard as his arm. Daves is happy to see their union: "I will kiss Mariji and try my best to match the two of you, but the key depends on you. Performance." As soon as Daves's voice fell, Olivers jumped up happily: "Great! Great! Daves, you are such a good person!" Olivers excitedly gave Daves a tight grip. Hug.

Watching Olivers sing and dance out of the courtyard, Daves laughed dumbfounded: He was actually issued a good person card!

…………………………

The next morning, the single new citizens protested in front of the Senate, demanding that their spouse problem be resolved, and they made a suggestion: It is acceptable to marry a Lucanian woman as a wife.

The Senate convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. In the continuous protests outside the hospital, the Senate elders headed by Chief Elder Davers reluctantly passed a resolution (Davers and the new citizen elders are all In acting), agreed to the new citizens to marry Lucanian women who were once enemies of Amendorara.

At the same time, the Senate passed another resolution: to turn all the Lucanian prisoners into city-state slaves, working for free until they die. But any Amendoras must not harm these slaves, because they are the wealth of the city-state.

After that, Daves proposed another proposal.

Seeing that Daves is about to propose a case again, Cornelus is unconsciously nervous, because Daves’ proposal has repeatedly broken the tradition of Amendorara, making Cornelus a little bit depressed. Yes, but this time the proposal is relatively normal.

Before Davos attacked the Allied forces of the Lucaria tribe, he made a promise to the slaves: to give them freedom after victory.

After annihilating the Allied Forces of Lucania, Turrii has brought back to the city more than a thousand slaves they sent to Davers, and at the same time he also brought back Davers’ request: to fulfill the pre-war promise To give them freedom. The remaining nearly three hundred slaves were looted and collected by mercenaries all the way in Persia, and accompanied them through countless battles and tribulations. According to Davers, these slaves are our own people. Therefore, more than twenty veterans unanimously approved Davers's proposal.

However, another proposal by Daves then caused controversy: slaves who became freedmen could leave freely, and they could also apply to become citizens of Amendorara.

Stromboli first stood up and expressed strong opposition: "Amendorara has never had such a precedent to allow slaves to become citizens of a city state! If this is done, Amendorara will become the laughing stock of Great Greece!" The words received the approval of several old citizen veterans.

At this time, Antonios stood up and retorted: "Please note that after the previous bill passed, they are no longer slaves, but free people. Every city-state has a precedent for accepting free people as citizens, and This is especially true for Amendorara, who tolerantly accepts us outsiders and makes us citizens of Amendorala, including a Persian! Why can't we tolerate these free people! And we are already discussing Regarding the "Immigration Act" proposed by Lord Davers, these people who used to be slaves, are now free citizens, and who have made contributions and sacrifices for Amendorara are now regarded as the first beneficiaries of this bill. It is not just right. Right!"

The new citizens all agreed, while the old citizens were speechless for a while.

Amintas stood up and told the story of his life saved by a slave when he was fighting in Persia, and finally he said loudly: "They are not slaves, but our brothers! We should give them Return!"

Helps briefly described how the slaves in the medical camp assisted the doctors and rescued the wounded day and night.

Next, Merses also exaggeratedly told: how his slaves calculated money and distributed materials quickly, and there was no error, so as to provide the best guarantee for the mercenaries to win the battle. And proudly declare that they are the best managers!

Although there were only 21 people in the venue, the atmosphere gradually became enthusiastic. There was no need for Daves to speak. This proposal was passed. After everyone discussed, the resolution was formed: These free citizens apply for Amendola After the citizen is confirmed, there will be a two-year inspection period. If you live in the territory of Amendorara within two years, you must learn to speak Greek, be familiar with the laws of the city-state of Amendorara, and have no records of violations of laws and disciplines. The two-year inspection period expires. You can obtain preliminary citizenship by paying two hundred drachmas to the city-state. When Amendorara has major operations, if he can participate voluntarily, such as a war, he can also shorten the period of investigation based on his merits.

At this time, the elders did not realize that the passage of this bill together with the last "Daves Immigration Act" had a profound impact on the later history of Mediterranean Greece, and Mariji and the three hundred slaves became Greek citizens. It became an important precedent (that is, a legal principle with precedents to follow) for the city-state to accept free people and slaves under the rule of Daves.
