"But...but...the war is going to kill...Amendorara is already dead...too many people!" Cornelus stammered.
"Following the leader of Daves, we will only win the battle, don't you want to take revenge?! Go and attack the Lucanians?!" Amintas looked at Cornelus with a slight contempt.
Cornerus hadn't answered yet, Protsilaus and Tritodmos behind him shouted: "Of course revenge! We must let these evil barbarians taste Amendorara. It's amazing!..."
Amendorara has been weak for too long, and people's hearts are also changing! Daves was very happy to see this change. He immediately said: "Although we want to conquer the natives as our goal, we are not going to fight blindly, but we must first strengthen the power of Amendorara before waiting for the opportunity, so Do you agree to submit this proposal to the National Assembly for voting first, "Any foreigner who is interested in joining Amendorara and becoming a citizen of Amendorara, as long as he is willing to abide by the laws of Amendorara and meet certain conditions, Amendola The La Senate will accept him as a citizen of Amendorara. As for the conditions to be met and met, we will discuss and decide."
"Agree!!" everyone shouted.
Cornerus sighed and closed his eyes slightly. He understands that from now on, Amendorara will no longer be the traditional and conservative Amendorara that will not change for decades, because according to Amendorara’s current citizenship composition (new citizens accounted for The vast majority) and the atmosphere at this time, this bill will definitely be passed by the citizens' assembly.
(A few days later, Daves’s proposal was passed by the citizens’ assembly with high votes, and this bill is the "Daves Immigration Law" written by the world’s later historians in European history. Its promulgation has since changed the tradition of the great Greek city-states, also changed the political ecology of the entire Greek world, and ultimately changed the history of the Mediterranean. This is something later.)
"In this case, I recommend Mariji to be selected as a commercial officer, so that he will become the first beneficiary of our new bill and set a good example for latecomers!"
"Agree!"
"We have no opinion!" The new citizens, especially the team leaders, all agreed. This is why Davers insisted on letting them participate. With their support, even if a few old citizens were dissatisfied, they could only remain silent.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the venue is very different from before. With new goals, the enthusiasm of these new citizens is obviously high. Daves decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Do we have a job as a construction manager for Amendorara?"
"Construction Officer?" Cornelus said he had never heard of it: "You mean the person responsible for the construction of public buildings. Amendorara does not have a fixed position for this. If the Senate decides to build public facilities After that, a person in charge will be appointed temporarily."
"The job of the construction officer is not just to build some kind of public facilities. He is responsible for supervising and constructing various buildings in the city, and doing regular maintenance. At the same time, he must supervise the cleanliness, sanitation and safety of the roads, and pay attention to the city’s Recreational facilities, his scope of responsibility not only involves the daily life of citizens, but also related to the image of the city state. It ranges from building wells and roads to temples and arenas, all of which are the scope of his powers. It can be said that it is a very important one. Position!" Dafus said solemnly.
"Which city-state has this position?" Cornelus was a little surprised.
Davers smiled and didn't answer, because the city-state that held this official position was Rome, which had the world's top architectural technology in the history of the past life. Of course, it is unknown whether Rome at this time had this official position.
"Since we aim to attack the indigenous people as the development goal of Amendorara, the official position of building an official is very important, because we need to build strong, wide, flat roads and bridges to facilitate our marching and transportation. Connect and rule the land that will be occupied in the future. It is also necessary to build magnificent buildings to show the indigenous people our superior culture and accelerate their surrender to us." Davers emphasized one more sentence and asked: "Who wants to recommend himself? "
"I'm afraid it needs someone with construction experience to do it." Someone said, everyone who was eager to say that Daves hesitated.
Alexis stood up decisively.
Davers smiled and asked: "Alexis, have you been a mason before?"
"My lord Archon, I only recommend myself, then I am considered to have taken up this position?" Alexis asked rhetorically without answering.
"I have no objection. What about everyone?" Daves looked at the others.
"There is no one else but him, just him!"
"But can he do it?"
Everyone said one after another.
"Let's talk about it, how do you become this construction officer?" Davers asked.
"I don’t know how to build, but I can learn, and I can also let someone who is proficient in construction work as a subordinate. There is no such person in the city of Amendola. According to the bill you just proposed, Master Daves, apply to grant them citizenship..." Alexis said confidently.
Others suddenly realized: As a city official, they can still do this.
Many people began to consider: Do you also choose a position?
"It seems that you are already considering how to do a good job as a construction officer!" Daves said with appreciation: "I hope you and your subordinates will study construction technology so that Amendorara's construction technology can lead. To other Greek city-states!"
"I will do my best!" Alexis said cautiously.
"Amendorara's treasury is not rich. If you want to do a lot of work, I'm afraid..." Cornellus reminded.
"Of course, we will not do a lot of construction now. We just build the machine first, and then we will become rich before we act." Daves relieved Cornellus a few words, and then continued: "Next , I propose to set up a military officer to be responsible for the defense of the city, the military training of citizens, the research and maintenance of weapons and equipment, pre-war preparations and post-war statistics... etc."
"Agree!" For the new militant citizens, this position is the most important, so they all seem a little excited.
Daves asked: "Who do you think is most suitable for this position?"
The new citizens are dumbfounded. To say that the most prestigious person in the army deserves to be Daves, but he is already a lifelong consul, himself the supreme commander of the city-state army. In addition to him, Hieronymus seems to be able to consider, after all, he was once a mercenary leader, but he is a newcomer in Daves' team. As for the others, Capus, Amintas, Epithenis... and so on, these company captains have repeatedly made military exploits, and each has its own characteristics, but it doesn't seem to be obvious who is particularly good.
In the end, everyone’s eyes focused on Felicius. This former mercenary adjutant is usually very low-key and easy to be ignored. In fact, he has been a mercenary for nearly 20 years and has rich military experience. Familiar with military affairs, Daves has been attentively assisting him since he was the leader. Daves’ victory is inseparable from his silent assistance, such as camping, training, pre-war preparations, post-war statistics, etc. What he does is now Is it the job of a military officer? ! It turns out that the position proposed by Chief Davos is for him! After understanding this, everyone felt calm.
So Felicius was elected successfully.
"Before, our mercenaries had a military law, but it was still relatively simple. I hope that after you take office, I will gather everyone together in a few days, and I will also participate in discussing and formulating a more complete military law in order to have It will help us train citizens and guide operations." Daves said seriously.
"Got it." Felicius nodded.
When Matonis and the others in the back heard that they had to formulate stricter military laws, they immediately lamented.
After Daves heard this, he said sternly: "In the past, we were mercenaries. In order to survive, we obeyed the orders of our employers and attacked others indiscriminately. We could kill and looting at will. But from now on, you are Armendo. Citizens of Lara, the interests of Amendorara are your interests, and your image of going out to fight also represents the image of Amendorara. Useless killing and looting will only provoke more enemies for Amendorara. It caused the Greeks to hate Amendorara. What's more, now that we have a new grand goal, how can we build a disciplined and combative Amendorara citizen without strict training and complete military laws? The army! How can the small Amendorara defeat the large number of indigenous people and dominate Greece!"
