Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 9: The shocking argument about rebuilding the temple
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
It was the first time that the veterans of Turiyi heard about Davers' ambitions, and they were all surprised.
Burkos widened his eyes and looked at Daves, who was standing in the circle talking and laughing freely. He remembered that he had invited him to Great Greece because he was a capable mercenary leader. Unexpectedly, this young man had such great ambitions, not only to save Turri, but also to change the political situation in Great Greece! Because according to Davos, a six-hundred-person chamber means how many city-states the alliance must merge!
Other Turiyi people were also whispering and talking, and some even asked others: "Who is Wesbah?"
They may be suspicious or excited, but most of them did not raise objections. After all, with the help of Amendorara led by Daves, Turri and them were lucky enough to be reborn. They have not yet been familiar with this one. Before the young consuls acted style, they did not rashly object to it.
Only Pollux asked: "There must be a limit to the number of people in the Senate. It is impossible to expand indefinitely like this."
"Six hundred people! This new venue can only accommodate 600 people! When the establishment is full, I believe that the situation of our alliance has been very different. At that time, there may be new laws and new The Chamber of Commerce!" Dafus said without hesitation.
Daves’ self-confidence made Polluxis very jealous, knowing that when the young man wanted to talk to him for the first time, he had to look at his face, so he couldn’t help but said, "It’s a pity. I’m afraid I won’t see that day when I’m alive."
When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
Davers stared at him and said lightly: "Master Pollux, I believe you will see it!"
In an instant, Pollux felt his clothes on his back soaked in cold sweat. Although Daves did not rebuke him, he felt an invisible pressure. He hurriedly lowered his head and stopped speaking.
"Consultant, the elders of the Senate are tenured. These outsiders become senators in this way, and how can citizens of the Union become senators?" Kunogolata hurriedly removed the topic.
"Although your question has nothing to do with the question of whether to build the Senate Council or not, I am still willing to tell you my thoughts." Davers retracted his gaze, organized the language, and slowly said: "We are now All public positions are elected once a year. I don’t think this approach is appropriate. For example, Amintas was elected as a production supervisor—"
Amintas shouted immediately: "My lord, I am not interested in architecture at all!"
Everyone laughed.
"I know, this is just a metaphor." Daves also smiled: "Amintas doesn't understand engineering, but in this position, he must serve the people, so he has to devote his energy to it. Understand and learn. After he has initially mastered the knowledge of construction and understood the needs of engineering in all parts of the alliance, his term of office is about to come. Then he has hardly done any effective work in this year. If you give him another one His work as a manufacturing supervisor must have been much better than in the first year, because he has basically understood the overall construction situation of the alliance and knows the needs of public buildings in each city. So in the third year, his work The efficiency is even higher, because he is already fully familiar with it, and can apply for funds from the Senate, and directed builders, craftsmen, laborers, and slaves to build large buildings and repair public facilities, and some results have been achieved. Everyone is right. Wrong?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Amintas shouted: "Yes!!"
Everyone laughed again.
"So the league’s public office is elected once a year. It is time-consuming and inefficient. It should be broken. But the specific term of each public office will be discussed later. Now back to Kunogolata On the issue..." Daves said seriously in front of everyone: "According to the bill we are about to promulgate, every citizen has the right to hold a public office. According to my thinking, a citizen who has just reached the age of eighteen has the ambition to become a veteran. The veteran of the hospital, first of all, he must hold three or more minimum public positions for five years, such as patrolman, firefighter, household register scribe, etc., and at the same time participate in the army and fight, participated in more than two major battles, etc. , Is eligible to apply to the Senate for a higher level of public office.
At this time, he has a wealth of low-level work experience, and he is physically strong and familiar with warfare. The Senate can decide whether to let him take up intermediate positions such as city defense captain, fire captain, household registration officer, manufacturing supervision officer, commercial officer, financial officer, and supervisory officer based on his performance, ability, and expertise. He is about 30 years old.
Then he must have held two or more intermediate public positions, and have served as a company captain or even a brigade captain in the army for three years, by which time he should be over 40 years old. At this time, his temperament will become stable, he is familiar with political affairs, can handle more complicated situations, and can lead soldiers to fight.
At this time, he can apply to join the Senate, and the Senate decides whether he can become a senator or not based on his performance. The chief executive of the city can only be held by the elders of the Senate. I wonder if you accept this idea? "
"Agree! Agree! Young people should exercise more!" the elders shouted in unison.
At least 20 years, we don’t have to worry! This is the thinking of a few mediocre people.
The veterans elected in this way are definitely the outstanding elites among the citizens. The fact that an idiot like Neonsis serves as the chief general will never reappear in the alliance! This is Kunogolata's full approval in his heart.
It seems that you have to take up more public positions and accumulate administrative experience, so as not to be looked down upon by young people in the future! Those who hold this idea are hardworking people like Hiros.
……
Most of the elders agreed with Davers’s idea, because whether it’s the extension of public office or the restrictions on serving as a city chief, it protects the interests of the current senator’s elders, but some people have also proposed it. objection.
"There are only so few public positions in the league. If the length of the tenure is extended, I am afraid that many people will not be able to take turns." Ancitanos said with concern.
"There are only these positions right now, but some people may rush to take up their posts in cities hundreds of miles away. By then, every city will probably need low-level household registration officers, low-level financial officers, and other low-level officials, and then It is supervised by senior officials such as senior household registration officers and senior financial officers under the Senate. Our Senate needs to establish a committee to supervise, manage and evaluate the performance of these public officials."
The ambition contained in Daves’ words excites some people, makes some people dubious, but generally everyone is happy, because the establishment of a new committee has left many people idle. The veterans have everything to do, and the power is not small,
Only Melses is anxious: "There will be so many public offices in the future, how much should their salaries cost?!"
Everyone laughed again.
Davers had no choice but to say: "The salary will be discussed later."
The resolution to "build a six-hundred-person Senate Chamber" was passed, and then it's time to discuss building a temple.
There is no need to discuss the construction of the temple in accordance with the principles. Just rebuild the new temple on the original site as it is. The veterans don't have too many objections to this, and this resolution will be passed smoothly. At this time, Plycinus stood up and expressed his opinion loudly: "I am opposed to rebuilding the Temple of Apollo!"
Everyone was stunned.
Plycinus was very satisfied with the effect of this statement. He glanced at Daves, completely ignoring the surprised expressions of everyone, and continued loudly: "Because our devotion to Apollo did not get the sun. God’s blessing to us! Freedmen’s betrayal, Turriy’s occupation, and the entire city weeping, but Apollo turned a blind eye to this. His inaction was invisible to the gods, so his temple is the same. It was cast aside and turned to ashes in the flames!"
Plessinus blamed Apollo for the destruction of the city of Turri, which seemed to be a blasphemy, but as the patron saint of Turri, Apollo did not even keep his temple in the end. This is true Let the veterans who believe in the gods feel a little strange after being "reminded" by Plycinus: Did Apollo give up Turri?
Daves looked at Plycinus with interest.
"So, who saved the citizens of Turiyi and avenged Turiyi?! Undoubtedly, of course it is a citizen of Amendorara! But which **** is supporting Amendorara What about the army?! Look at the flag held high by the brave citizen soldiers, isn't it the Pluto who is waving a double-stranded fork and bringing death to the Crotones! It is also Hades, blessing the employment in the hot spring marshes! Army, let the **** of death blew the wind of the underworld and easily took away the lives of eight thousand Lucanians! Now Turiyi is reborn in the ruins, and Amendorara has also merged with Turiyi as Amando Hades, the protector of Lara’s army, was also the Pluto who saved Turiyi twice. It was the reason for Apollo’s retreat, and we must not forget his gift and blessing! Therefore, Turiyi’s new **** The temple should build the temple of Hades to bless Turyi forever and peace!!!"
Plessinus finished speaking, and the elders were in an uproar.
Kunogolata turned to take a peek at Daves and found that he also showed a surprised look: Is it the self-assertion of the fellow Plycinus?
"Plessinas, you should know that Apollo is the main **** worshipped by the Greek city-state (the other is Hera). It is precisely because of his blessing that our ancestors can successfully reach the Greek city. Apollo is very important to the Turyi people for the smooth construction of city-states!" Ansitanos reminded.
"Of course I know. Citizens can still build the Altar of Apollo and continue to worship him, but as the protector of the city, his inaction has ended his mission! We need new, powerful, and more willing to protect Our gods give peace to the Tury in this troubled time! Therefore, we should build a temple of Hades in our acropolis!" Plessinas said proudly.
"In my memory, there is almost no public temple of Hades in the whole of Greece, let alone the protector of the city. Why? Because the kingdom of Hades is terrifying, people Fear of him! Having built the Temple of Hades, I am afraid that no people are willing to go to the Acropolis! Let alone be laughed at by other city-states!" Pollux stood up and objected loudly.
