Everyone thought for a while and shook their heads. Athens may be the richest, but it cannot provide so many benefits to citizens. As a city-state with a long history, too many vested interest groups, deep-rooted legal systems, and traditional ideas make it impossible for the emerging city-state alliance Dio. All that Niah has done. Although, it has taken care of civilians in the Greek city-states.

"Can Persia, a powerful country in the Mediterranean, do this?" Plesinas asked again loudly.

Everyone shook their heads directly: Persia, that is a dictatorship where nobles squeeze civilians and Persians squeeze other races.

"Then Dionia is the Elysee Paradise in the Greek city-state! I believe that after the Greeks know the rights enjoyed by our citizens, they will definitely influx into Dionia more actively!" Plessing Nas said affirmatively.

"Plesinus’ guess should be correct. Before the war with Crotone, the number of freedmen in the port of Turíy had been increasing...and after the war, we fulfilled our promise and even prepared Citizens have also allocated land, and there will definitely be more immigrants coming to Dionia. We must be ready to resettle them." Kunogolata took the conversation and reminded everyone in advance.

Everyone listened, both happy and a little worried.

"Now, please let me add one more right to Dionian citizens." Daves continued: "I just noticed that everyone is hearing Kunogolata saying,'There will be more immigrants. When I came to Dioria, I seemed a little worried. What are you worried about? I think it’s more worried about the difficulty of the Diorian Alliance to maintain a good urban order! Worried about so many immigrants entering, and most of them are civilians, no After they are educated, after they all become Dionian citizens, the overall quality of our citizens will decline! It will decline sharply!——"

"Master Daves is right!" Turri veteran Massisacus immediately got up and said loudly, "Now Turri has such a sign, especially in the port, where those who are **** all kinds of The accented new immigrants are rude and uneducated. They swear, fight, and fight at every turn. I heard that the port patrol has to deal with dozens of conflicts a day. Isn’t that true, Kunogolata?"

Kunogorata shook his head and seriously corrected: "It's not that serious. If freedmen want to successfully become Union citizens, they don't dare to violate the law and discipline. According to statistics, there are no more than five incidents per day, and they rushed to the patrol team. Before, most of them solved it by themselves."

Mathy Sakus was boring, muttering: "There are three or four conflicts a day, and there are a lot of them..."

Polyxis looked at Massissacus, his eyes flickering.

Davers smiled and said: "Because of these problems, my next proposal is to set up a school in Turíy. All Dionian citizens can pay a small fee. Let their children go to school to learn literacy, arithmetic, drawing, music, sports..."

School? ! Everyone pondered this another novel word. At this time, the Athens Academy had not yet been established. The way for the Greeks to receive education was to rely on the rich aristocracy and the rich to hire private teachers, buy learned slaves to educate their children, or famous scholars to open private schools and collect fees. The Philippines’ tuition fees, the recruitment of disciples, and the city-state funding to build a school to collectively educate citizens’ children are unheard of! But the veterans were very interested. Most people felt that this would really help solve the problem of the low quality of Dionian citizens, so they got up and asked questions one after another.

For the school, Daves could not be more familiar with the experience of the previous life combined with the actual situation in this life, he answered their questions easily and freely.

For example, Amintas put forward: "What if citizens want to go to school to study?"

Daves’ answer is: "A class is specially set up in the school to educate adults. The curriculum and education method are different from those of children, which is convenient and quick to eliminate illiteracy."

For example, Kunogolata's question: "Children are of different ages and have different levels of education. How can they benefit and improve in school?"

Davers’s answer is: "There are three levels of education: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Children who have not learned anything enter the elementary class and begin to learn to recognize words, arithmetic, and read articles... Children with a certain mathematical foundation enter the intermediate class to learn how to use words to make sentences, write articles, and be able to perform complex calculations... The advanced class is mainly to master the rhetoric, speech, argument, and calculation of a large number of complicated data... This is to train lawyers , Accountants, mid-level officials and other senior talents of the alliance make preparations..."

………

The veterans were satisfied with Daves’s detailed answers, and even Kunogolata, who rarely praised others in public, couldn’t help but exclaim: “My Lord Archon, now I really think you have been favored by the gods. Otherwise, it is impossible to come up with so many brilliant ideas, and at the same time there is a complete implementation plan!"

Kunogolata's words were approved by the elders.

Davers smiled and continued: "I propose that Ansitanos be the head of this school."

"Agree!" The elders all agreed. The most knowledgeable person in the Senate is undoubtedly Ansitanos, who was once a disciple of Herodotus. Of course, some people think that Daves, who was rumored to be illiterate, but was enlightened by the king of Pluto and has always been mysterious. Knowledge is hard to predict.

"Ah? I..." Ansitanos, who was sitting in the back row, wandering away from the sky, was awakened, and hurriedly shook his head and refused: "I can't, I don't have time! Athenian Thucydides' "Peloponnese" "History of the Sacrament" has been completed and it is said to have been well received by the Athenians, but my "History of Great Greece" has not yet been written?!"

At the repeated requests of the veterans, Daves even made a promise with everyone: all the veterans will try their best to contribute materials to his creation, and he will try to cooperate if he wants to interview someone...

Ansitanos reluctantly accepted this, but he immediately began to complain: "My lord, it’s not that I didn’t want to manage the school just now. You must know that the Alliance of Dionia is only the city of Turri, Dioni. There are thousands of children of sub-citizens! And the Archon, you said just now that you want them to learn Greek writing, arithmetic, and painting, music, etc., how many teachers do you need?! The League of Dionia is simply looking for There are not so many teachers to teach the children!"

After what he said, everyone immediately realized that this was indeed a problem. But Daves had obviously considered it a long time ago, and he said calmly: "The Dionian League doesn’t have enough teachers, but other city-states have them. We are in urgent need of leaf pine vanilla, and we can significantly reduce tariffs specifically for it. In order to incentivize Cyrenaica merchants to transport it into Turri port in large quantities for sale. We lack teachers, so of course, we can also formulate a preferential bill for them to encourage outstanding scholars from the Gentiles to actively come to Dioni Ya... are you right?"

The veterans thoughtfully, Ansitanos asked urgently: "What kind of bill?"

"My proposal is... All Gentiles who come to Dionian to work as a teacher, even if they are slaves, will immediately obtain Dionian citizenship! But the premise is that they must first pass the examination of our special institution in the Senate , Make sure they have the ability to serve as teachers... Well... This assessment can be led by Ansitanos. But they have citizenship and become teachers in the alliance school, so they must devote their lives to teaching children knowledge. If you change careers halfway, then the citizenship will be immediately cancelled and deported! In addition, the Union citizenship only applies to teachers themselves, and their children cannot inherit, unless they are also engaged in the profession of teachers..."

Everyone was moved by Davers's proposal.

At the beginning, Ansitanos, who didn’t care about being a school administrator, said excitedly at this moment: “Since before, Master Plesinas and Kunogolata thought that the Greeks envied Dionia. Citizens, if you want to become a Dionian citizen, then I think the lack of teachers in Dionian will change soon!... I remember that there was an alliance bill for doctors before, and now it is for teachers. The proposal is beneficial to them. My lords, doctors and teachers are two sacred professions besides the priests of the gods, one to heal the body and the other to improve the mind. I thank the consul for your vision! I also hope to get yours. Support! The Dionian Senate has fully demonstrated its respect for knowledge! It will make our alliance not only prosperous in trade, military strong, and culturally brilliant! The Dionian League will become A great city-state alliance!!"

…………………………

The meeting lasted until dusk, and two other people said that they had a proposal to say that the senators had to let the guards light candles and continue.

Scombras was the first speaker to speak. He said apologetically, "I’m sorry, it’s delayed everyone’s time to go home for dinner. I just consulted Master Daves and Caps in detail. , Hironimos and others, I learned that there is a big swamp north of Crimea, especially in the spring when the rain floods, the swamp also expands outwards, affecting road traffic, and invading farmland... I just I wonder if we can invest a lot of labor to fill the marshes and build a dam for the Lacoeli River. This will not only ensure the security of the territory and prevent the occurrence of diseases, but also add a large fertile land!... "

"Your old man has just been elected as the chief executive of Crimea. Before he took office, he started to implement your management of Crimea!" Protcilaus joked with a smile.

"What? Your kid has an opinion?!" Scamblas blew his beard and stared at Amendorara, the junior he grew up watching.
