For Mikris, he doesn’t really care about En'anilus’s official position in the kingdom after he returns again, but as long as he appears on the officialdom of the kingdom, he is showing it to the people of the kingdom. The king's understanding of the Mikris family will no longer hinder the future development of the family in business and politics.
So, the atmosphere of the whole meeting became more relaxed. By the way, I also talked about the two days of Dionian merchants transferring materials at the port of Ostia, and at the same time they began to enclose their own land, build commercial warehouses, Busy situation looking for business opportunities.
In the end, Mikris left the Roman Senate with a smile, but Alcibedas stayed because Daves will hold an executive meeting here.
……………………………………
Participants in this meeting were mainly veterans such as Asistes, Nicomacus, and Antrapolis, as well as some middle-level officials from important departments.
"Everyone, the place where you are sitting now is the Senate in Rome." Daves saw the officials who came in and looked around curiously, so he briefly introduced.
"It's much smaller than our big council." Assistus said.
"But the city of Rome is bigger than the inner city of Turii." Nicomacus complimented: "Judging from the denseness of its houses, its population is also very large. It is hard to imagine. Your Majesty Conquered such a magnificent city in one day!"
"Nico Marcus, what you said is a compliment to the Legionnaires who participated in this siege!" Daves laughed.
"So I am proud of the amazing record the soldiers have achieved!" Nicomacus responded quickly.
"The soldiers took down this big city, but then you have to rely on your painstaking governance to turn this big city into a city belonging to Dionia." Daves said next to the officials. He straightened his chest.
Then, Daves turned to the topic, facing everyone, he said sternly: "Before you came to Latham voluntarily, you should have some understanding of this area, and you learned more about it in Ostia. , But it may not be clear about the situation we are in now, so you must now have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Latham."
Daves said this and made a gesture to Hernipolis.
Henipolis immediately asked the two guards to lift up the map board with Rome and surrounding city states, and came to Daves's side.
"Sit forward so that you can see more clearly."
As soon as Daves spoke, the officials, regardless of their status, squeezed into the first and second rows of the venue, raised their heads and stared at the map seriously.
"Rome is indeed the largest city-state in central Italy." Davos said in detail on the finger map: "It and the land around it is no less than our Turiyi Plain of Subari, and even We have captured Rome, but to the south of Rome, it is all its Latin confederate and colonial city; to the north of Rome, it is also its Etruscan confederate and colonial city; plus The Roman army of about 70,000 who had conquered the Helniki before is returning quickly...We are now like a lion, surrounded by countless evil wolves. The situation is very grim! Fortunately—"
Daves’s finger in Rome slid down the Tiber River and stopped at Ostia: “The Tiber River is under our control, allowing us to communicate with the outside world through waterways. The transfer of personnel, but if we can’t break this situation of lone army and deep siege, over time, the waterway will be cut off, and Rome will be completely surrounded. The victory we have paid a huge price before will also be It's all in vain, so I ask you to immediately put into work to take over the city of Rome, not only to restore stability as soon as possible, but also to enable it to help us in the next battle!"
Daves’ words made the veterans and administrative officials present here feel pressured. The faces staring at the map were serious, but their eyes flashed with excitement. After all, these Dios who voluntarily chose to come to Latham Most of the officials in the country are citizens who refuse to be mediocre, tired of an overly stable environment, and have an enterprising or adventurous spirit.
Davers' gaze swept over them, and he felt the strong heart sent by them, smiled in his heart, and said: "Next, I will announce the administrative appointment in Rome during the war."
The reason why Davers emphasizes the term "wartime" indicates that this is a temporary appointment. When the war is over, the administrative personnel arrangements in the occupied territories will require Davers and the Senate and the Royal Management Committee to renew Approved.
Most officials straightened up subconsciously.
"The Chief Executive of Rome--" Daves looked at his former messenger, and said loudly, "The veteran Assistus will take the post!"
Before leaving Turriy, Asistes was summoned by Daves and knew his arrangements for him, so he looked calm.
Nico Marcus, Antrapolis... and other elders obviously cannot compare with Asistes in terms of qualifications, but they cannot become the top management of such a big city that is also one of the best in the kingdom. However, there is still more or less loss in their hearts.
Daves looked in his eyes and continued: "Niutum, Knapetia, Mesagne, Enrona... After more than ten years of establishment in Dionia, Asiste Si has always served as the chief executive of the newly conquered alien regions, with outstanding political performance and rich experience in governing aliens. This is the reason why I chose him as the chief executive of Rome..."
After explaining a few words, he said: "Nico Marcus, Antrapolis... You temporarily serve as the Roman administrative adjutant, and you will govern Rome together with Assistus, and there is also an administrative adjutant. It is the Roman I just appointed. I hope you can get along with him and give full play to his role."
Several veterans were surprised, but they, who were not weak in political experience, quickly understood the purpose of Davers's move, immediately restored their calm and made a statement.
Next, Daves appointed several important middle-level officials in Rome, all of which were recommended by the ministers of various departments.
"...The Roman commercial officer is served by Fracus."
As soon as Daves finished speaking, a Dionian official stood up and said loudly, "Thank your Majesty for your trust!"
Daves looked at him and solemnly said: "Because of the continuation of the war, it is impossible for the city of Rome to trade with the surrounding forces in a short time, but there are many merchants from the kingdom, and they bring us materials and wealth. At the same time, it will also cause some confusion... Mariji praised you as the best trade official under him. I hope you can manage them well and let them become the help of this war, not a trouble!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Frakus replied confidently.
"Turiyi Chamber of Commerce, Lijim Chamber of Commerce, and a small number of businessmen from Crotone, Tarantum... They all donated a huge amount of rations and supplies for this war, so you are strengthening At the same time of management, we must also allow them to gain profits. We can't treat these businessmen who have contributed to the kingdom, so you must grasp this yardstick!"
While Davos urged him, he said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much, I have found a good superior for you."
Speaking, his gaze turned to the veteran of Dionian who had been silent beside the venue and had just taken office: "Alcibidas, I appoint you as the administrative deputy of Rome, responsible for business affairs. ."
"Me?!" Alsibidas was a little ignorant. Daves asked him to stay for a meeting before. As a newcomer to the kingdom's political arena, he was ready to listen.
"You heard that right, it's you!" Daves said jokingly: "The kingdom officials who come here are all working. Now the food is tight, we don't want to feed idlers."
Asistes smiled on their faces, but no one laughed out loud. Those who can sit here are the middle and high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Dionian. The news is relatively well-informed, of course. What is the identity of Alcibidas.
"I did not give you this appointment because you are my relative, but because you are both the elder of the kingdom and the head of the Lijim Chamber of Commerce, so you can better coordinate with the Dionian merchants who come here. 、Communication. Of course, as a kingdom official, you must treat every businessman equally from a neutral stand, not just take care of Li Jim businessman." Davers reminded.
Alsibidas was a little moved. He remembered what his father had said to himself: "...That's good, since you have decided to incorporate Lijim into Dionia, I won't stop you... …But you have to understand that there are many powerful and capable people in Dionia. You can’t do whatever you want like when you were in Lijim! Although Daves is your brother-in-law, but with his Personality will never give you more care. As a relative of the royal family, you will become the object of attention of many people. If you do not want to be the object of ridicule by others, then do your best... The hospital has a firm foothold, so that it can give your sister more support..."
Looking back on the past, Alcibidas pretended to hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, I really want to do things for the kingdom, but I am not very familiar with the laws and systems of the kingdom..."
"Master Alcibidas." Frakus said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will assist you with all my strength!"
Davos glanced approvingly at the newly appointed commercial officer, and said, "Don't hesitate, Alcibidas! With Flaccus' full assistance, what else can you worry about!"
Alsibidas immediately stated: "Your Majesty, since you trust me so, I am willing to accept this position."
