Davos nodded in satisfaction to Alcibidas.

Asistes smiled and said loudly: "Great, we have another good helper!"

Everyone immediately responded, and Alcibidas responded in a humble salute.

Davers went on to say: "I have a suggestion to establish a large market in Rome. Merchants can transport goods from the country to sell, and the army’s camp can also buy it here. People in Rome can also buy some living supplies... The original market in Rome has been converted into camps by various legions. I think this new market can be built on the embankment at the head of the south bridge of Rome’s Shii Bridge, so that it is convenient for goods to be transported from the port. It is also convenient for customers to buy...Of course, this is only my suggestion. After carefully inspecting the entire city, your business officials need to make decisions that are more conducive to the development of commerce based on the actual situation."

Flacus said immediately: "Your Majesty, after the meeting is over, I will immediately proceed to handle this matter."

"Roman treasurer...Archibides!" Daves then announced his appointment.

Another person stood up in the venue.

"The entire tax agency in the city of Rome needs you to hurry up and build it! Although the city of Rome has just been captured, the land tax is impossible to implement, but the commercial tax should be collected as soon as possible!..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also... the army defeated the Romans one after another, conquered Ostia and Rome, and harvested a lot of spoils. If they were transported back to Turri, it would take both time and manpower, just like the merchants of the kingdom. They are all gathered in Rome. You discuss a plan with Lord Alcibidas, pick out these spoils that are not urgently needed by the army, auction them to them, and then transport the earned gold and silver back to Turri to make up for the emptiness of the treasury."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Archibides answered quite forcefully this time, and his eyes shone.

"Agricultural officer...Tiblus." Daves continued: "I have already announced to the Romans that I will take back all the previous land and redistribute it! So you have to find out the land owned by the city of Rome as soon as possible. The quantity, although it is not possible to farm due to the war, the distribution can still be carried out. Let the new Romans who join Dionian know that we believe it! Moreover, they must be assigned the best and most important position. The fertile land should let them feel the benefits of joining Dionia, and also attract those Romans who are still hesitating to join us as soon as possible!"

"I understand, Your Majesty." Tiberus replied.

"Then how to collect this land tax?!" Archibides asked urgently.

Although they are not the same in size, the financial officer and his immediate boss, Melses, have very similar attitudes and expressions when they talk about money and taxes. This makes Daves a little amused, and he holds back Said with a smile: "As in the past, the land tax is exempted for three years from the time when the land is cultivated, and it will be levied at the land tax rate of a full-fledged citizen after three years."

Archibides sat back in his original position slightly disappointed.

"Polotax, the Roman household registration officer...Roman Judge Diost..." Daves announced the appointments one by one. In fact, for these newly appointed mid-level officials, Daves seldom met before, but he spent a lot of time keeping the names and appearance characteristics in his mind, and accurately matched the numbers with real people, using this This is a way to show the importance he attaches to the appointee, and now it seems that the effect is pretty good.

"I have already announced the appointment of the main mid- and high-level officials in the city of Rome. The rest of those who have not been appointed will be determined by the chief executive of Rome, Asistes, and several administrative deputies to determine your positions. Regardless of public office High or low, I hope you will do your best to fulfill your responsibilities! I will know your performance at any time, not because of your abilities, but because of what?"

Davers tapped the map with his hand, emphasized his tone, and encouraged them to say: "Because we not only want to occupy Rome and Ostia, but also these Latin League gangs, these Roman colonial cities... They are all kingdoms. There are several big cities here that are not weaker than Rome! When appointing the chief executives and senior officials to manage these towns in the future, they will have political experience in Rome and have a better understanding of the Latin customs and the situation in the Latin area. You are the priority to be considered by me and the Kingdom Official Management Committee!"

As soon as these words came out, not only these middle-level officials were excited, but even Nicomacus, Antrapolis... these elders also smiled.

At this moment, the new Roman chief executive Asistes opened his mouth and said: "Just now we have seen many Romans queuing to apply to become Dionian citizens in the square. In speeches, I’m afraid that many of these people still want to become Dionian public officials. We will try our best to recruit some Greek-speaking Romans to serve in various departments, so that we can have a good relationship with the Romans. Communication is also conducive to our better understanding of Roman customs, and is conducive to our governance.

However, because they are all civilians, I am afraid that many people do not understand Greek, and they do not understand our Dionian system and laws at all. Therefore, more of them can only serve as inspectors. Then we Do they need to be the inspectors? If necessary, will these inspectors be equipped with weapons? Are there any restrictions? "

"Your question is very good." Daves looked at Asistes appreciatively, apparently before leaving Rome and after talking with Asistes once, he might have been thinking about how to manage Good things about the city of Rome.

Davers replied without hesitation: "Since they have applied to become Dionian citizens, don't treat them as outsiders. Of course, you can let them serve as inspectors, and what are the Dionian inspectors? Costumes, they should be what they should be. However, the inspection team leader of each group will be temporarily held by our officials, and there must also be a certain number of old citizens in the team, so that they can better understand our laws in contact with each other. Harmony system, know what can be done and what can’t be done when performing tasks, so as to avoid being punished for making mistakes, which will cause discord instead..."

"Your Majesty, but we don't have so many people to serve as inspector captains!" the new Roman inspector interjected.

"The Legionnaires who are temporarily unable to fight because of injuries can be used as inspection captains and members." Nicomacus suggested.

"Look, as soon as you all discuss it, there will be a solution." Daves laughed, apparently agreeing with Nicomacus's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, the measures you announced in the square today are aimed at Roman civilians and slaves. What should you do with the Roman nobles?" Assistus then asked another important question.

In fact, Daves had already told Asistes about some of the measures he might take after occupying Rome when he was in Turri, so Daves believed that Asistes raised this issue to let The officials present all clearly understood his thoughts on how to conquer Rome thoroughly, so he said seriously: “The nobles in Rome are different from the Greek nobles or foreign leaders we encountered in conquering other regions. For various reasons, their strength They are quite powerful, and have deep ties with other Latin city-states in this area. Even if they surrender, since the next measures we will implement will seriously harm their interests, they will surely rise up against our rule. The riots caused by the ability will surely surpass the previous Udiah riots!

And when Rome is in chaos, there will be chaos in other areas here. Turri is far away from Rome. It is impossible to send a large army back and forth like the suppression of Udia, which in the end leads us to sacrifice countless citizens. , This piece of land acquired by spending countless amounts of gold and silver may make us pay a higher price... This is in the long run.

From the current point of view, we need to quickly stabilize Rome and fully deal with the surrounding enemies

So I chose to absorb Roman civilians who are more attracted by our measures, more easily integrated into Dionia, and have great conflicts with the nobility, to become Diorian citizens, rather than the Roman nobles who have a lot of trouble. After defeating the coming Roman army, I decided to turn all the captured Roman nobles into slaves and **** them to Turei for resale. "

Daves’ cold tone and such decisive decision surprised the officials in the venue: you must know that even when they conquered Puchetti, Mesapi, and Dawni, they forced them to disband the tribes. He also had an iron fist to suppress the rioters, but Dionia allowed them to surrender at first, but this time he did not give the Roman nobles a chance at all. This is completely unlike the administrative style of King Daves in the past!

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the nobles of Rome will have no chance of surrendering. They will probably fight us desperately. Our soldiers will not only increase the casualties, but also increase the difficulty for us to conquer this area. !" Nick Marcus was the first to stand up and advise.

"So, the treatment of the Roman nobles will be announced after defeating their armies, and now they are only to be detained temporarily." Daves simply explained, and then sat silently. .

"Your Majesty...the nobles and their families in these cities now see how we treat them and the Roman civilians differently, and I am afraid it has made them feel uneasy, and as Master Nicomacus said, In the end, our handling of the Roman nobles will also chill the surrounding Latin city-state nobles, which is not conducive to their future conquests!"
