Agnes felt a little disapproving: "Sister, you think too much, but I think that as long as Eunice really likes it."

"You, it’s easy to say it. When Ivia is an adult, it’s your turn to worry." Christia rolled her eyes, stretched her waist, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom to soak Take a bath and relax. When the children are back, it's time for dinner. Will you go together? I have several sets of underwear in other colors and shapes. You can just try them on and see if it fits."

"Okay." Agnes stood up.

Nowadays, taking a bath has become a daily habit of the Dionians, but after all, the large hot spring bath is a bit far from the city of Turiyi. It is impossible for the royal family to visit frequently, and it is not safe, so Daves directly let people A bathroom was built in the house.

Two elegant middle-aged women talked and laughed and walked out of the hall.

………………………………………

At dusk, the meeting was over in the Great Chamber of the Dionian Senate, and the elders walked out of the meeting in twos and threes.

Today, the Senate received "the army led by King Davos has successively succeeded in the Latham area... Abeni Rum has applied to become the free city of Dionia..." The good news is of course also mixed. The bad news that "Samonet's army raided the Campania area, Naples urgently asked Dionia for help", but this did not affect the mood of the senators. They talked and laughed and walked down the steps.

The five rotating chairmen of the Senate slowly walking behind are still discussing some issues.

"His Majesty said in his letter,'Now that the situation in Rome has stabilized, the expeditionary army is expanding its occupied territories and preparing to completely defeat the Romans.' He asked us to prepare for the large-scale migration of some Dio after the war. The people of Nia will go to the Roman area and disperse the surrendered Roman nobles in other cities to make detailed plans. What suggestions do you have?" Cornelus asked.

"I noticed that His Majesty wrote in his letter to'relocate the people of Dionians', instead of asking prepared citizens and free citizens to fill the newly occupied land as in the past. This shows that His Majesty is very Pay attention, you need to quickly integrate Rome into the kingdom!" Lysias said in a deep voice.

"According to the news from the messenger, the area where Rome is located is a fertile plain, which is much larger than our Subari Plain. The Tiber River is also wider than the Krati River, and its agricultural and animal husbandry are comparable. If we can completely own Rome, not only can we resolve the worries that the previous drought caused to Your Majesty, but also our national power can be greatly enhanced..."

Anta Auris thought about it, and said: "But that area is not bordered by our existing territory, and there are many other forces and races around, and the Romans themselves are relatively strong. Perhaps your majesty is considering These will require the relocation of a large number of Dionian citizens, so that they can quickly become the backbone of stabilizing the Roman area. If it is prepared for citizens and free citizens, I am afraid that in that crisis-ridden area, they will not be able to firmly defend the interests of the kingdom."

"Although I did not see the scene of our soldiers fighting with the Romans in person, in the past few days, our Turiy region alone has brought back nearly 2,000 dead citizens and more than 2,000 wounded. The officials of the Office assisted the Ministry of Military Affairs and have been busy with matters such as caring for the families of the deceased and arranging the treatment of the wounded. I heard that the casualties in other areas are not small. It can be seen that the Romans are indeed more fierce!" Lysias said gravely.

"You still remember that your Majesty said some time ago that he would relocate citizens to Campania. At that time, he had decided to relocate some young citizens from Lucania. Both Hermon and I have already made plans, but unfortunately later They were forced to stop because of Carthage's participation in the war, and this time they can move to Rome." Weisba suggested from the side.

"I said Weisba, don’t just keep your eyes on the Lucania area." After Sedorum spoke to Weisba, he reminded: "How many citizens can move out of the Lucania area? I’m afraid it’s less than 10,000 people, but your Majesty said in a letter that, apart from those Roman civilians who have already surrendered, the land of Rome alone can accommodate another two to three million people, as well as Viais and Ostia. What about these towns in Kesrera! Moreover, His Majesty also said that the Roman nobles who will submit later will be scattered and placed in other cities. It is better to move some of the citizens of each city to Rome, and the vacant space can be used to house these Romans. , Isn’t this very convenient!"

"What Master Sedorum said is a good way!" Anta Auris took the conversation: "However, considering that the Rome City Hall has just been established, the ability to handle government affairs is not strong yet, and the Romans treat us well. There is an adaptation process. We can migrate to Rome several times, each time a small number of citizens are migrated to avoid major confusion. In addition, the citizens who go to Rome cannot be all young, but there must also be middle-aged and elderly citizens. The community can be stable. Also, Greek citizens should be the majority of the citizens photographed in Rome—"

Speaking of this, Anta Auris saw that Weisba and Sedorum were unhappy, and quickly explained: "I don't mean to discriminate against other ethnic groups. This is just to let the civilians in Rome as soon as possible. Into the kingdom..."

"The suggestions of Anta Auris are very reasonable, and we need to seriously consider them." Cornelus praised the young colleague a few words, and then solemnly said: "Everyone, this It’s the first time we have migrated to the kingdom’s official citizens. We must know that they are not prepared citizens and free citizens. They have all the rights granted to them by the laws of the kingdom. They own their own land. They live well in the existing towns. Let them go to Rome willingly? How to make them satisfied with their new place of residence?... These are the problems that give us the most headache!"

"I don't think this is a problem." Anta Oris said disapprovingly: "The citizens of the kingdom are most worried about not leaving their hometowns and settling in unfamiliar places. They are afraid of living too peacefully, because it means Because they could not gain opportunities for meritorious service through wars and adventures to increase their wealth and obtain rapid advancement in status. In Rome, they can be given many such opportunities. Before the war with Rome, there were so many. Isn’t it because of this reason that officials chose to go with your Majesty at risk! Now that ordinary citizens can get such an opportunity, I believe they will also actively participate."

Anta Oris’s remark made the other three nodded again and again, and Cornelus coughed a little embarrassingly: “Uh... Only then do we know the real reaction of the people, so we need to make more preparations in advance to reduce the resistance of the people, such as the detailed land replacement of the migrant citizens, the transportation of citizens’ property, the distribution of new houses and the disposal of old homes......"

"It seems that next time we need to call Burkos (Minister of Agriculture) and Rafias (Minister of Household Registration) to discuss this together, and then work out a preliminary plan, and then submit it to His Majesty for review." Lycias said.

"I think it is possible to let the town halls of various cities and towns pre-advertise the benefits of living in Rome--" Anta Auris actively made suggestions, but just halfway through his words, Felicius' voice came from behind. : "Master Cornellus! Master Lucias!..."

Cornerus looked back and found that the four veterans of the military department, Hiros, Phillips, Alpunes, and Hironimos, came here, and couldn’t help but be a little surprised: "You What's the matter?"

Philips looked at Shiros.

Military Secretary Silos said: “The five rotating chairmen today unanimously rejected the unreasonable request of the emissary of Samona to exchange their prisoners for Campania’s prisoners. This is in line with Your Majesty’s The promise made after the Gruum Incident, but... it’s not enough just to refuse. We also need to rescue the Campania Alliance that is being attacked by the Samonaes. After all, it is our ally."

"The rescue of Naples should be the main issue to be discussed in the meeting place tomorrow." Cornelus frowned and said: "Now your Majesty is leading most of the army to attack Rome in the north, and we are in the south with Carthage. During the war, Alexis was stationed in the Apulia area to prevent the invasion of the Samonas and the coveting of other forces. As far as I know, the various legions in the kingdom are already in a state of war, even the seventh legion. Ready to go south to Sicily, your Majesty has repeatedly ordered not to move lightly. Now that you are talking about this matter, I want to ask you how you plan to rescue Campania first?"

"Are you going to transfer the Ninth or Tenth Army?" Although Anta Auris had a little dispute with Cornelus just now, he took Cornelus' words at this moment and continued to ask questions. "The distance from Aprilia to Campania is long, transportation is difficult, and the pressure on the transportation of rations will increase. Moreover, who knows if the cunning Samonais deliberately lure us away from the army of Aprilia? , And then I want to raid the Downey area again! After all, our troops have to take a detour, but they can go straight through the mountains."

"It's not an Apulian army." Silos said affirmatively: "We hope that the Senate can pass a resolution to allow the Free City Potentia to immediately form an army to support the kingdom's war with the Samonaites."

"Potentia?!" The five rotating chairpersons were a little surprised. Close ties, trade, personnel exchanges, religious spread... everything is developing unimpeded, and the Potentians are never absent from all kinds of celebrations and competitions in the kingdom, so it's not just Dionians. The ordinary people, including most of the elders, subconsciously made Potentiatya a part of the Lucania region, forgetting that it is actually just a free city in the kingdom.

At this time, Military Training Officer Hilonimus said: "According to the statistics of our Military Affairs Department, if Potentia is fully recruited, it can form an army of about 20,000 people. Therefore, Potentia is at least You can shoot 10,000 reinforcements."
