"Tiblus, thank you for the advice you just gave me! It has benefited me a lot..." Publius then thanked Tiberius again.

Tiblus said humbly, "Master Publius, you are welcome. I only grew up in Turei. I have heard and witnessed a lot of things, and I have a better understanding of the kingdom. But I understand. Understanding, it’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to do it. For example, we have to be down-to-earth and develop step by step, but you have good conditions. Once you join the kingdom, you will be a veteran. You only need to lay a solid foundation and you can have Greater deeds..."

Pubulius nodded and said solemnly: "You are right. Rome is a thing of the past. I should cheer up and develop better in the stronger country of Dionia!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a while and asked humbly: "Tiblus, you gave me the advice just now. Do you have any advice for my children?"

"I remember you said that you have an 18-year-old son, a 10-year-old son...and one...a..."

"There is also a 6-year-old daughter."

"Uh..." Tibulus groaned for a while, and said, "Your eldest son is 18 years old. According to the law of Dionian, he is an adult, but the kingdom has assigned you a share of land, so he won’t He will be allocated land. If he does not want to help you take care of the farmland at home and inherit your property in the future, there are three ways for him to choose from, political, business, and military--"

Tiblus shook his fingers and patiently analyzed him: "I believe that with your family status, your eldest son must have been well educated since he was a child, but he must pass the kingdom exam if he wants to take up a public office. In the first few years of the kingdom’s establishment, public examinations were easy, but now it’s difficult because more and more young people are graduating from schools in various cities and towns, and competition is becoming more and more fierce. You also need to have a rough understanding of the laws of Dionian and the Codex of Hades.

After passing the exam, you will have to work as an intern public official in the town where your household registration is located for one year. After passing the performance, you will be registered with the Kingdom Official Management Committee and transferred to a full-time official, and then assigned to a certain town by the committee The department serves as the lowest-level public official——"

"What is this Kingdom Official Management Committee?" Publius interjected.

"Oh, the Kingdom Officials Management Committee was originally an institution under the Senate, which manages the appointment, promotion, rewards and punishments of all middle and low-level officials in the kingdom. It is now under the direct control of His Majesty, and its main person in charge is composed of three elders. , One officer and two deputy, dozens of officials and clerks under him, the current person in charge is also the head of the five rotating chairpersons of the Senate-Lord Cornellus."

"Oh, then... which department is in charge of the senior officials of the kingdom?" Publius immediately thought of another question.

"Senior officials are basically held by the elders, and their appointments are selected by the Senate, such as the chief executive of a town or the main officials of various departments of the kingdom, and finally handed over to your majesty to decide. It is easy for low-level officials, but it is said that the debriefing of the Senate during their tenure is a big test, and it is not so easy to pass. Senators with poor political performance are often humiliated, and it will be difficult for them to hold positions in the future, such as...cough cough..." Bruce coughed twice and stopped in time.

"Anyway, it won’t be long before you will know about this. I won’t say more, but I’ll talk about your child. Your eldest son has never been educated in Kingdom School. It’s impossible to come. Passed the exam and entered politics. If he is anxious to get into politics, he can first apply for a job as a handyman at the Turiyi City Hall—"

"Handyman?"

"Public officials who have no grade at all, such as clerks, scribes, messengers, bookkeepers, administrators... They also have to go through assessments and have salaries, but they are generally not divided into more shares. There is another It is a part-time job. When the city hall is busy and the manpower is in short supply, it will recruit volunteers to help with the work. When it is free, it will be disbanded and returned home. Although the salary of part-time job is very low, it will be listed in his household registration file. Recording is good for his future development.

Your eldest son can first take a handyman or part-time job, exercise his ability to do things and do things, and be familiar with various affairs of the kingdom. At the same time, he can take time and spend some money to hire a teacher or participate in an adult study class at Turiyi School. Knowledge, wait until two or three years later, and then take the Kingdom’s public service examination. Because of the actual political experience, it will have an advantage over those young citizens who have just graduated and took the examination, and it is easier to pass..."

Tiberus took a sigh of relief. Seeing that Publius was listening carefully, he continued: "If your eldest son is willing to go into business, you can fund him some money first and let him go to Turriy Town Hall. Register with the Department of Commerce and obtain the qualifications and certificates for doing business——"

"Why do you have to register with that commercial office when you are doing business, so you can't buy and sell freely?" Publius asked with some curiosity. Although Rome is underdeveloped commerce, people are free to buy and sell.

Tiberus explained: "Applying to the Department of Commerce for registration is mainly to facilitate the Kingdom's tax collection and the household registration department to classify and manage it. For merchants, with this business certificate issued by the Kingdom, he can rely on this It’s easier to get more loans from Christoya Bank, and you can also apply to join the chambers of commerce in various places to get more help, more information and channels, which is more conducive to his development.

But the kingdom does not prohibit other people from buying. For example, farmers in various towns and cities in the kingdom do not need to apply to the commercial department, they can take their surplus agricultural products to the designated area of ​​the market in the town for trading, and do not Pay taxes, but the things you sell must be small amounts, and you can’t buy or sell them in other towns. Otherwise, once discovered, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from severe fines to deprivation of citizenship..."

Pubulius was just a little curious just now, but in fact the Romans are not a race that is good at doing business, and he is not very interested in this. After a little understanding, he turned to ask: "What if you choose to join the army? ?"

"Master Publius, the first thing you need to know is that according to the "Diionian Law", male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 have the obligation to perform military service and regularly participate in military training, regardless of whether you are Farmers, handicraftsmen, businessmen, or government officials..."

"This is the same as before in Rome."

Tibulus has worked in Rome for several months, and he has some understanding of the things in Rome before. He solemnly reminded: "But unlike Rome, the citizens of Dionia are vying to go to the battlefield. Perform meritorious service and win the land and trophies rewarded by the kingdom, but it is not easy to go to the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, only regular army soldiers can go out to fight. After casualties occur, the reserve soldiers are incorporated and supplemented.

The young citizens of Dionia have been trained in military since they were young, and they have been familiar with the basic military tactics of Dionia as an adult, but your son didn’t know anything about it, for at least three or four years. It is very difficult to become a full-fledged corps soldier. If you want to advance, the best way is to actively apply to serve as a garrison soldier in several fortresses in each territory. Although it is difficult, you can become a full-fledged corps soldier in one or two years. After participating in a few more battles, he is likely to become a squad leader.

But if you want to be a team leader, you have to perform well, which is not easy. Becoming a squad leader means that he has stepped into the ranks of an officer in the kingdom, and has become the object of attention of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As long as he has no major injuries in the future, and has repeatedly made military merits, he may be promoted step by step. ...Even became the commander of the legion. After becoming the commander of the legion, it is possible to enter the Senate and become a distinguished senator...

Joining the army is a quick way. Not only can you get a lot of land rewards by virtue of combat exploits, but you can also occupy a high position at a young age. Become the new veteran of the kingdom when he is in his early forties! "

Tiblus said enviously, and then sighed slightly: "However, these are all their lives in exchange for. If they are not careful, they may die on the battlefield. The land and wealth they have won can only be left to their wife and Children, for example, the naval fleet chiefs Flarios and Mirtias who died in this war, so I don’t really envy them. Although the promotion of administrative officers is slow, it’s safe!"

"Is promotion in the army the same for all citizens?" Publius asked.

"What?" Tibulus was taken aback, and quickly understood what he meant, and said with a serious expression: "My lord, you have to understand that Dionia is not like your former Rome, where aristocratic children can serve as soon as they have served. A squadron leader-level team officer, this doesn’t work in the Kingdom of Dionia! All citizens must start from ordinary legionaries. Even the adopted sons and son-in-laws of your majesty have slowly become through their own efforts. This is the legion team leader and squad leader. If you want to take other shortcuts, you'd better give up your mind.

According to the law, the army is under the direct control of your majesty, and all the promotion and appointment of officers must ultimately be approved by him, and the Senate shall not interfere. Anyone who wants to intervene in military affairs will inevitably arouse the anger of His Majesty. The Raodixian incident more than a decade ago has taught everyone a good lesson. "

"Laodixian incident?" Publius asked curiously.

"This matter is very complicated. I will tell you more when I have time." Tibrus said quickly, "In addition, your eldest son can also choose to become a farmer or a craftsman, but in your capacity, this should be all It’s not a choice, so I won’t say more..."
