Lysias took the conversation and replied: "It's just a bit farther away, and you need to take a boat, but the twin cities of Naxos and Crimea have provided a wealth of governance experience for this."

Mentotik Els let out an "Oh", there was no doubt.

Daves continued: "Excluding Messina, the original Sicilian territory, plus the eastern mountainous areas of Leonid and Siker (During the Western Mediterranean War, the tribal gathering place of the Western Kerrs was The Taiki were destroyed, the food was raided, and some tribes betrayed Dionia... After the war, Dionia won a big victory. Some tribes were afraid of being liquidated, and some tribes were in Dionia in order to survive. Under the direct confrontation of the threat and diplomatic goodwill, the army successively chose to submit to the kingdom, resulting in a domino effect. After a year, the entire West Kyle mountain area was completely merged into the Kingdom of Dionia) and merged into the East West Siri region. Governance is in Katane;

Taunis, Syracuse and their original sub-states, Camanlina, and Pachinus, the entire southeast corner of the Western Mediterranean merged into the Syracuse area, and its governing office was Syracuse;

Then Gérme, Minoa, Agrigento, Ecoms, Gela, and the central mountainous area of ​​West Kyle included from Enna to Kefa Roytian, merged into Southern Sicily Region, where the rule is in Agrigento;

The rest of the cities and towns of Sicily and the Sikan area (after the war, the Sikan people, who suffered heavy casualties, feared the retaliation of the Sikel people and took the initiative to submit to the Kingdom of Dionia) merged into Western Sicily and ruled Lili俾;

With Sarros as the dividing line, the northern half of Sardinia is divided into the northern part of Sardinia, and it is located in Sarros;

The southern region of Sardinia is in Calaris;

The former Carthage became the Corsican region in all areas controlled by Corsica, with Alenia as its ruler;

Carthage was assigned to our southern Iberia and became the kingdom of southern Iberia, which was governed by Sisi;

There are nineteen regions in total. "

Everyone listened carefully to Daves’s remarks and pondered these new administrative divisions. Obviously, King Daves’s careful consideration of the ease of management and development of trade was carried out after repeated thinking. Division: Some areas are large, but the population per unit area is not too much, such as Lucania and southern Sicily; some areas are small but densely populated, such as Crotone; some The area is small and the population is small, but it is very important to the kingdom. For example, the Corsica area is rich in precious metals, especially tin... But even so, everyone still has some doubts.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten Hadrum Mentum from Africa?" Anta Oris reminded me carefully.

"I haven’t forgotten. Although Hadrummentum is not large in size, his location is very important. Get the situation there in a timely and accurate manner, and respond in time." Davers' answer made everyone feel reasonable, so no one raised any objections.

"Your Majesty, the area of ​​southern Iberia is too large. The area is the sum of our many other regions. It seems a little inappropriate to turn it into one area." The steady Lycias was a little worried. .

Daves explained somewhat helplessly: "Although the Carthaginians conquered southern Iberia, it was only a conquest. It is far from completely turning it into their own. Except for the people in coastal towns. Basically, apart from the original Carthaginians and Phoenicians, the inland areas are almost governed by the tribes of southern Iberia.

After we took over, there were very few people in the kingdom who colonized there. The officials who sent in the past were still familiar with the situation there. Except for those mines that were changed to the kingdom’s businessmen, the political situation did not take place too much. Now that the land in the entire kingdom is greatly vacant and the population is insufficient, it is impossible to immigrate to it in a short time to change the composition of its population proportion. It is better to maintain the status quo temporarily to ensure the stability of the region... at least from It now appears that Haka, the governor of the region, is still actively cooperating with the requirements of the kingdom and acting in strict accordance with the decree of Dionia..."

"Haka-sama is indeed very knowledgeable, but he has been in power in a region for a long time, which is also against the laws of Dionian, and I heard that his physical condition is not very good..." Sedorum said here At the time, he cast a glance at the Medical Secretary Helps for consultation.

Helps responded truthfully: "According to the medical records sent back by the doctors we sent to treat him, his heart has not been very good since he was a child, and he cannot be cured, so he should not be too tired!"

"So it’s better to be able to transfer him back to Turrii to take up a prominent post, and at the same time he can better treat the disease...At the same time, let our officials take over Iberia earlier, which will also help it integrate into the kingdom faster. "Sedorum went on to make suggestions.

Davers was lost in thought.

Several ministers such as Lycias and Sedorum exchanged glances at each other, but none of them spoke.

After all, the status of Iberian Governor-General Haka is too special. He is not only the patriarch of the Carthage Magonis family who submits to Dionian. Brother finally died. Although according to reason, the patriarch of the Magonis family should be inherited by Hasdruba, but most of the family members hope that Haka, who has a gentle personality and is more respected by King Daves, will take the post. The family is more advantageous, and Hasdruba himself has no intention of wanting to take on this important task, so despite Hakkar’s repeated shirks, he eventually took this position, but he was very modest and repeatedly stated that "I am just a substitute for him." The position of acting patriarch of my elder brother”), and because he has been in charge of government affairs in southern Iberia for a long time, he is more prestigious in both the original officials and the local aborigines, not to mention that he is also a relative of King Daves.

Also considering these issues, Daves deliberated carefully and replied more cautiously: "This matter...I have to ask Hakkar's opinion first. If he agrees to come to Turei, you Do you think Bagul can successfully take over southern Iberia?"

At the beginning, after the southern region of Iberia was merged into the Kingdom of Dionia, in order to stabilize the situation there, Daves promised not to replace officials there in the short term, but he sent a group of Dionis with strong administrative capabilities. The Asian officials went to towns in southern Iberia and served as deputy to the original officials. The leader was Bagul.

Allowing a great kingdom official to serve as the administrative adjutant of the newly returned region seems undoubtedly degraded, but Daves considers that Bagul has served in the kingdoms of Grumentum, Cosenza, and Udia. The chief executive of a large town is not only outstanding in political performance and rich in experience, but also good at handling local aboriginal affairs. Therefore, he is the most suitable candidate. Therefore, he specially invited the Bagul family to participate in the royal family banquet and had a meeting with Bagul. After a heart-to-heart conversation, Bagul gladly accepted the appointment and went to southern Iberia for his post.

"Your Majesty, judging from Baggul’s special trip to the Senate last year to report on political affairs, he has not only been familiar with the political affairs in southern Iberia, but also familiarized local officials with him, and some officials are also willing Cooperate with him in doing things, and he also made friends with many Iberian tribal leaders in the territory and won their trust. I think the problem should not be too big, but he should first seek his own opinion." Hermon first praised Baggul, and then cautiously expressed his opinion.

Daves used a stick to point the location of Iberia on the map, and after a while, he asked aloud: "If Hakkar chooses to come to Turri, what position would be more appropriate for him to be appointed?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

As mentioned before, Hakkar’s identity is too special. He is already a veteran of the kingdom (although he rarely participates in the Senate meeting) and a governor (the regional chief executive, although it is only a post-war compromise). He is an important minister of the kingdom. Even the rotating chairman of the Senate and ministers of various departments are only equal to his current duties, and now there are people in important positions in various departments, and there is no vacancy. As for temporarily leaving them idle, I am afraid that they will be left unused. Taking a considerable risk, because it will cause misunderstandings among the people and officials in southern Iberia, thinking that the kingdom is about to start to slaughter the donkey, and I am afraid it will cause turmoil in southern Iberia...

While everyone was silent, some people also complained to Sedorum, thinking that he shouldn't do this too much, making it difficult for everyone to ride a tiger now.

Daves' deep gaze was swept across everyone's faces, and then slowly said: "When I see it, it is better to set up a rotating chairman and let Haka take the post. What do you think?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Sedorum, who has already sensed everyone’s grievances, responded first: “I support your majesty’s decision. Now the number of elders has increased. The five rotating chairpersons are not enough to represent all the elders, especially the elders from Phoenician. There are more than 10 people, and Lord Haka serves as the rotating chairman in line with the needs of the kingdom!"

Where did these ten Phoenician elders come from? More than half did not come from western Sicily or southern Iberia, but from Sardinia. Although some Phoenician city-states in Sardinia chose to surrender during the Western Mediterranean War, Dionia did not allow it. They can choose autonomy just like their compatriots in Sicily. In the past, Carthage could completely control the entire island of Sardinia for profit. Of course, Dionia could also force all these city-states to be merged into the Kingdom of Dionia. The Sardinian people, who have been ruled by the Carthaginians for a long time, did not have strong political demands. Once Dionia was tough, they obeyed. However, in order to appease the local people and facilitate governance, the kingdom chose some People of fame enter the Senate.
