Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 15: Asistus Debriefing (1)

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

All the elders stood up at this moment to show their respect. This is not spontaneous, but a bill passed by the Senate of the Kingdom of Dionian in the past ten years, which stipulates that all the kings must have this etiquette when attending the meeting of the Senate. The Supreme Prosecutor can exercise the power to expel any elders who are indifferent and impolite.

As for the entrance of court guards in the venue, it is due to the rapid increase in the number of senators in the Senate after the Southern Italy War, although the guards guarding the Senate will search the elders before entering the venue to prevent anyone from carrying weapons , But there are some deep contradictions among the new members of Dioria. For example, Crotone and Lokri, Trina and Cybernian, etc., in the debate on the motion, they do not agree with each other, and they are often prone to conflicts. On several occasions, Daves’ safety was even threatened, so Mariji and Plycinus proposed that, with the consent of more than half of the elders in the venue, allow the court guards under Daves to enter the venue, which not only protects the king, but also can Assist the inspector to maintain order in the venue. Of course, after ten years of running-in and some improvements to the Senate meeting system, the current Senate meeting has become much more orderly.

Daves sat steadily on the leather chair. Since there are two steps below the seat, his height can basically be level with the back row of seats in the venue.

Davers stared at the nearly two hundred elders in front of him, most of them concentrated in the front of the center of the venue, so that it was easy to hear the speaker's voice.

The front row is seated with senior veterans. The seat in the middle belongs to Kunogolata. This is Daves’ praise for what he has done over the years, and the veterans agree. His ability and prestige. But during this time he has been ill in bed, and Daves is a little worried when he hears Helps says his condition is getting worse.

The seat next to him should have been Cornellus, who was also a hardworking veteran, but today he, as the rotating chairman, is standing in front of the wooden table next to the center of the venue in front of Daves on the right. Ten years later, he has all white beard and hair, and he has a rickety figure.

Daves sighed inwardly. If it weren’t for Kunogola’s long absence, the Senate would need a prestigious elder to guard him. He might have considered letting Kornet, who is almost 60 years old, to guard him. Ruth doesn't need to be the rotating chairman of this heavy task, because it's too exhausting for fear that he won't be able to persist.

At the forefront, there are three permanent rotating chairmen of the Senate. They are Weisba, Sedorum, and Lycias. Although Lysias of Crotone is a late veteran, on the one hand, it is out of respect for Crotone, a city that was once a strong power in Great Greece. Although the leader of Trina and Corenia is in the past, there are still some influences, so Lycias, who was once the chief general of Crotone, became the rotating chairman of the Senate after Daves’s proposal. .

In the first row are also Tritodmus, Proteas, Rafias, Anta Auris, Felicius, Merses, Mariji, Ply Sinnas, Burcos... these veterans who had made great contributions to the kingdom before the Yugoslavian War.

In addition, the former mercenary veterans who always liked to sit together now have some changes in their seats. For example, Antonios sits alone, surrounded by most of the elders from Sicily; Hiros originally didn’t want to sit alone, but some of the elders of Lockley and his allies, who were conquered and subdued by him, preferred to join him. As a result, some former mercenary veterans were very disagreeable, and in the end he had to stay away from the mercenary veterans a little bit... Later, in order to avoid the recurrence of Antonios, Daves always did it after the Battle of Brindisi. Sending two or three legions to attack the prescribed towns of Mesapi and Pucheti respectively, so that every soldier can gain military exploits and exercises, and at the same time disperse the influence of the commanders on the conquered land.

But even so, there are still some Mesapi and Puchetti elders cheeky squeezing into the former mercenary veterans, gradually disintegrating the largest group in this Senate. Not only was Daves not worried, but rather happy to see this happen, because now he no longer needs to rely on these mercenaries to gain a foothold in the kingdom.

At this moment, Daves put his hands on the armrests of the chair, leaned against the back of the chair in a more comfortable position, and then said to Cornellus: "Go ahead."

The first item on the agenda of this meeting of the Senate is the debriefing of the chief executive of Enona, Asistes, who has expired.

Debriefing, this is a must-do procedure for every Dionian veteran who has retired from public office.

On the one hand, it is to let other veterans understand and evaluate their actions during their tenure. If the performance is good, then it will be easier to take up new positions in the next election. If the performance is poor, then there will be a reason to be idle next time. This also forces the veterans to dare not slack in public office and are regarded by their colleagues as incompetent. , No one can stand it.

On the other hand, it is convenient for other veterans to understand the current situation and difficulties of this position or this area through the resignation, so that they will be able to decide whether to take over this position when deciding on the relevant bills. Consider very carefully.

Asistes had reported to Enona three years ago, so this time he is familiar with the road, and it is relatively brief.

After he finished his speech, there was applause around him. Of course, many of them were social.

At this time, Cornelus, the rotating chairman, said loudly, "My lord, it's time to ask Master Asistes questions."

Asistston felt nervous, and the most difficult moment of debriefing has arrived!

As soon as Cornelus's voice fell, Felicius stood up immediately: "My lords, I remember Master Asistes said three years ago, "Enona will become the Campania League. A bridge between the Kingdom of Dioria and the Kingdom of Dioria. "I would like to ask Master Asistes, what achievements have Enrona made in this regard in the past three years?"

Asisters breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Felicius gratefully: As expected of the old sergeant in the mercenary, this is totally helping himself.

In the previous debriefing, Asistes has already mentioned this aspect. Now I only need to explain it in more detail: "Thank your majesty and sirs for their wise decision to let us Dionian Kingdom The Alliance of Pania is an alliance, which is the basis for Enona to rapidly develop relations with the city-states of Campania!

We all know that some city-states have fallen into the hands of the Samoneites, including the ancient city-state of Capsa, due to the invasion of the city-states of Campania by the Samoneites in the past. Although under our mediation, the Samoneites and the Campania Alliance reached a peace agreement, the land occupied by the Samoneites cannot be returned. Therefore, there are a large number of camps that have lost their homes and no land in the Campania area. Panya.

In the past, most of them had to be mercenaries in order to survive. Since Enona became a new piece of land in the kingdom, although the original inhabitants of Samona have left, the population growth of its towns has been very slow, because Greek immigrants from the Eastern Mediterranean are more willing to go to the kingdom’s big land. Settled in Greece, where it is closer to the mainland of Greece, the customs and customs are the same and more familiar, but few people are willing to come to Enona on the central part of the west coast of Italy. Soldiers and family members—"

Speaking of this, Asistes nodded slightly to Weisba, Hermon and other Lucanian veterans, because the soldiers of the Third Army were mainly Lucanians: "Enona has a large number of The wasteland lacks labor, so from the time Mr. Alexis was in office, some measures have been taken to attract Campania people to come to Enona as hired workers. And I insisted on Mr. Alexis’s approach, due to the diplomatic environment. For further improvement, some new measures have been proposed, such as allowing Campania people to rent five acres of land even if they are unwilling to become Dionian citizens. If they are reclaiming wasteland, they can rent more than ten acres at a time. ...... After six years, a large number of wastelands in Enona have been developed and matured, and taxation has also been greatly increased.

At the same time, I provided low-cost accommodation for Campania people in Enona. Ports, markets and other places that require labor are open to them, basically the same as the free citizens and prospective citizens of Dionia. The same treatment has resulted in a large influx of Campanians into Enona, which has greatly promoted the rapid development of Enona Port, making Enona Port, which had only a simple dock ten years ago, has now become a kingdom on the west coast of Italy. One of the important ports in Central China! "

Asistes became more and more excited: "The influx of Campania people into Enona also provides a basis for us to spread the culture of the kingdom. They like to eat our food and fall in love with the bath. I prefer to watch fierce rugby and football matches, and even organize my own team for practice. After I knew this, I hired experienced players to teach them, and in recent years I also allowed to work in Enona. Campanians formed a team to participate in the city’s rugby and football matches, and after returning to Campania, they spread these hobbies to their home country. Last year, Enona held a special rugby match and invited The neighboring cities of Pompeii, Naples, Sorrentum, Capreae... and other Campania city-states formed teams to participate in the competition. The competition was very successful. That’s why it will be in this year’s Kingdom Rugby Club. In the final, Pompeii, as our allied city-state, actively requested to participate and was approved by His Majesty...
