"Henipolis is still young! He just wields power, he is a little forgetful, does not understand the actual situation of Laos, always wants to do things according to his own ideas..." His own disciples defended.

"Dionia needs a stable Laos. No matter what Hennie he thinks, the first thing he should do now is to stabilize Laos' order and slowly establish his own prestige. Ansitano Lord Sri Lanka, after you go, tell him that he should not be too anxious to govern Laos. With Dionia's support, his wish will definitely be fulfilled in the future!" After Daves made a fire, his mood improved. Solemnly made his promise: "In addition, you have to warn him to listen more to the opinions of his father's ministers, and to respect them, especially his uncle Alobmus, to discuss more with him... …"

"I understand, Master Daves. I will try my best to persuade Hennie." Ansitanos answered seriously.

"By the way, how is the Hades celebration carol written by Lycias? The celebration will begin in two days." Daves asked with concern.

"It’s almost done. Although he is dissatisfied with some of your requirements and thinks it limits his thinking, it is a huge honor after all, and it will be in front of thousands of Dionian citizens. Reading, he is too happy to be too late." Ansitanos said jokingly.

Davers also laughed: "Of course I hope that he will prove to me and the Senate through this new carol that the Dionian citizenship that I have specially applied for for him is worthwhile!"

"Master Daves, this year's wheat seems to be another bumper harvest. However, if we buy more wheat, I'm afraid there will be no place to store it." Bajilippi said. Since Burkos guilty resignation, in view of the fact that the storm that shocked Dionia has not subsided and the sensitivity of this position, Daves finally proposed that the elders elected Bruti veteran Bajilippi to this position.

At first everyone thought he was just a transition, but he didn't expect him to be vigorous and resolute after taking office. First, he categorically refused the prosecutor Sesta to continue to review the Ministry of Agriculture on the Pollux case. Sesta certainly did not agree, and the two sides filed the lawsuit against Daves. In the end Daves was persuaded by Bajilippi. , Stopped expanding the case, which earned him the gratitude of his public officials.

After that, he investigated the situation of the Ministry of Agriculture in detail, and after consulting the former agricultural officer Burcos many times, he promulgated a new departmental system, which not only strengthened supervision, but also improved administrative efficiency, and also reduced The burden of his subordinates, such as: When he was in office, Burkos often went to the countryside to understand the situation of the fields in person, and asked his subordinates to do the same. Baji Lippi thinks this method is undesirable, and he delegates this responsibility to the village chief. Public officials under the Ministry of Agriculture only need to make regular inspections and receive reports.

Next, he proposed to the Senate: to increase the salary of public officials in the Ministry of Agriculture. The reason is that the labor intensity of the personnel of the Ministry of Agriculture is too high, and they often have to run around the entire league, and even go to the fields to assist in planting, but their own farmland has no time to take care of them. Of course, this proposal was not passed. After all, only the Ministry of Agriculture will be paid more. What will the staff of other departments think?

However, Bajilippi won the support of all public officials in the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Your opinion is to build a barn again?" Davers thought for a while and said.

"My lord, I think the number of barns in Turriy, Cosenza, and Grumentum is enough." Bajilippi replied earnestly. The establishment of the barn and the strategic reserve of grain were put forward by Daves after careful consideration after the Bruty War. The slogan "Prepare for the war and prepare for the famine" impressed the other veterans, and was approved, respectively. Grain storage has been established around the central cities of the three regions of Iraq, Cosenza, and Grumentum, and they have been guarded by guards. It has been implemented for two years.

"I have carefully checked the conditions in the three barns. The wheat grains stored in the previous year have already become moldy. If you put them down, they will all be broken. That would be a shame. It is better to sell them to make room. Buy new grains..." Bajilippi seriously suggested.

Davers nodded and said, "Since this is the case, please do what you said, Master Bajilipi."

Send off Bajilippi, Daves saw Aristius waiting outside the living room: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the information just sent--" Aristilas whispered.

Davos took the small piece of Shakespeare's scroll and unfolded it, and his face suddenly became cold: "Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes, sir. Tratus rushed to Crimissa to check, and he returned on horseback today. His bronze medal was forged. We sent someone to open his room quietly while he was away. , I found a poisoned dagger..." Alistairs said slowly without any emotion.

"It seems to be coming for me! Syracuse four drachmas... Hmph, Dionysius!" Daves sneered twice, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, suppressing his heart. The tyrannical impulse paced back and forth in the corridor.

Finally, he stopped, a bit more determined on his cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Since he still doesn't give up, let him come and make the noise a little louder!"

Aristilas knowingly hurried down to make arrangements.

Subsequently, Daves sent someone back to Baguiripi, who was still on the road, almost completely overturning his previous decision, and a tough decision: Not only did he not sell the old old valleys, but also asked Baguili. Lippi bought the newly-listed wheat in a big way, preferably in a short time, and he would let Merses provide treasury gold and silver for full cooperation.

Bajilippi felt that Daves suddenly changed his attitude a bit strange, but he did not ask more sensibly, but chose to agree.

………………………

In the past two days, McGallis has been soaking in the restaurant every day, enjoying the food, and spending almost all his money.

Returning to the guest room late at night, he bolted the door, lit the candle, and took out the dagger from the bed. Thinking of the promise made by the adult before leaving, he stared at the dagger in his hand in a daze.

The light of the candle shined on his face, it was a deep blue...

………………………

September 9th, the birth day of Hades, the celebration ceremony of Dionian was as usual. Thousands of Dionian people surrounded Victory Square.

The music sounded, and the priestesses of the temple began to sing Hades hymns.

With the subtle influence of the past few years, the people have become familiar with this novel singing method, so the singing sounded at the same time on the stage, off the stage, and around the audience, resounding throughout the city, it was spectacular.

Next, it's the turn of the large-scale square theater performance, which is also one of the most popular programs for the public to watch at the celebration. But this time, it is neither the story of the Greek mercenaries who came to Great Greece under the guidance of Hades, nor the spectacular epic of the establishment of the Dionian Alliance under the blessing of Hades, nor the other legends of Hades. The story, but a strong man appeared in the square, wearing a lion skin, holding a big stick, walking forward...

The people were too impressed with this image, and immediately someone shouted: "Hercules! Hercules!..."

Next, with a heartbeat drum, an unusually tall person walked into the square (actually on stilts and covered the bottom with a longer cloth). Although the appearance is a bit weird, the people Already felt a surprise: it is actually a giant!

The main version of the story about "The Battle of Hercules and the Giant" took place in Africa, but many Southern Italians insisted that this battle took place in Southern Italy. It now appears that the Alliance of Dionia has met their expectations.

On the field, "Hercules" and "Giant" started a fight...Finally, "Giant" was killed.

The people cheered.

At this time, a group of people wearing Bruti decorations ran onto the field, headed by a woman in gorgeous clothes, they congratulated "Hercules". Soon, "Hercules" and the woman held hands...

Many people were puzzled, but Dionian citizens of Bruti origin understood the scene, and they shouted excitedly: "Queen Valentia!"

"Hercules!"

"Brutus!"

……

Aroused other people to ask them: What is going on?

Music from the Bruti Mountains sounded on the square, and the Bruti danced traditional dances around "Hercules" and "Queen Valentia".

The people outside the venue, led by the Bruti people, also began to dance and dance...

Lysias looked at this lively grand scene. As the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Dionian Academy, he naturally enjoyed this show from a different perspective from ordinary people: "I bet this performance must be Dave As suggested by the Archon, his intentions are very deep!" His words showed his appreciation for Davers, and it was after meeting with Davers that he made up his mind to move to Turey.

"In the Dionian League, Lucanians and Brutis account for a large number of people.'Racial harmony, integration' is a term repeatedly mentioned by the consul in the Senate. And he is constantly making efforts!" Ansitanos said with emotion.

"Yeah, it's not easy, and it will take a lot of time!" Lycias is not like Isocrates, he is not an "Athens supreme" or "Greek supreme", instead he stayed in Athens. For many years, he has been deeply touched by the xenophobia and conservativeness of Athens. He feels that he has found the main reason for the rapid rise of Dionia.

At this time, the large square show has ended. Ansitanos smiled and said, "Lysias, I can't wait to hear the Hades carol you wrote!"

Lysias said confidently: "I believe I won't let you down!"
