Tiblos understood what he was thinking, shook his head and said: "There are no clans in our kingdom of Dionia, and the law stipulates that 'women also have the right to inherit.' Inherit all the property of her husband. However, if she marries again, her new husband will not be able to jointly own his wife's property until at least 5 years after the marriage, except in special circumstances of course.
However, you are the elder of the kingdom, so you don't need to worry about housing. Although there is no more vacant land in the inner city, there is still a lot of public land in the city hall in the outer city. All are classified as public and not for sale. 'It seems so wise now!
Later, based on this order, the Senate issued similar orders to other towns. At that time, the old man will definitely set up a residential land in the outer city and close to the inner city, which will be owned by you for free, and will let the construction department send people to build your house according to your needs, without you needing to spend an opal... "
After listening to Publius, he felt relieved. He wiped a lot of sweat from his face with his hands and said gratefully: "Tibrus, thank you very much for your explanation! On the way from Rome to Turii, You have always taken care of me, no matter how you feel, I have regarded you as my first friend after joining Dionia, a true friend!"
"Ah... I really didn't expect... But I'm really honored to be your friend, Lord Publius! Then please allow me... I can treat you as a good friend!" Tibrus's voice trembled a little, obviously Somewhat excited.
"That's great! When I move to Turii, I'll have to rely on you for more guidance."
"Lord Publius, you need my help, please do as you please! I grew up in Turui, I am familiar with it, and have many friends. But when you have established a firm foothold in Turui, you will be here. I have to ask you for help!"
The two laughed, and suddenly felt a lot closer.
So, Publius asked directly: "Tibrus, what should I do if I want to gain a firm foothold in Turii as soon as possible?"
Tibrus thought for a while before saying: "Lord Publius, it depends on what you want first. If you want comfort, don't accept any position, just attend the meeting of the Senate on time as a senator and express an opinion. , vote, you can receive a lot of salary every month, some veterans have lived like this, and they live very comfortably.
But I don't think you are such a person. If you want to make a difference, you must first be familiar with the laws of our Dionia. I know that Rome is also a city-state that values laws, but the laws of the kingdom are not only extremely numerous, but also cover a wide range of areas. , once you understand it, you will not make mistakes and become the laughing stock of the people after moving to Turiyi, and it will also allow you to be targeted when you express your opinions in the Senate, so that you will not make mistakes and be laughed at by the elders. "
Publius nodded and said: "You are right, I have borrowed the law book from Asistes when I was in Rome and started to read it, but it was not careful enough, it seems that I have to invest more energy."
"Secondly, you should hire a tutor to teach you how to speak Dionian. You speak Greek very well, but Greek is not the same as Dionian, not only is the pronunciation a little different, but also There are many new words in the Onian language, I believe you have felt it in your previous contact with us. When you can really speak the Dionian language, the people of Turii will truly accept you.”
Publius nodded seriously again.
Tiblos continued: "You have to take every meeting of the Senate seriously, attend on time, obey the order of the venue, actively express your opinions, and have your own unique opinions, rather than echoing with some people's hands. Especially when talking about When there is a problem in Rome and the Latinum area, you should be more proactive and take the initiative to control the direction of the whole issue, because you are from Rome, you are more familiar with that place than they are. Moreover, you often have to communicate with the Romans on a daily basis. Contact friends to learn more about the situation there, so that you can take the initiative to raise issues to solve some problems in Rome or Latin. In the long run, you will be able to represent the interests of Rome or Latin in the Senate, and you will have a certain amount of power in the kingdom. Influential…”
Publius was a little moved by what he said, and nodded frequently.
But Tibrus said in a louder voice: "However, speaking in the Senate and moving one's lips, no matter how big the influence is, it will not be respected by the people, and it will not be taken seriously by His Majesty! As far as I know, His Majesty calls Those who go to the palace to discuss affairs, hold banquets, and visit the door are all ministers who have real power and have done practical things, so if you want to achieve greater development in the kingdom, you must do practical things.”
"Do the real thing..." Publius muttered in a low voice.
"That's right! In the past, some elders who joined the kingdom like you held their own identity and were unwilling to serve in some middle and low-level kingdom public offices. They always hoped to directly serve as the chief executive of the town. It seems that they have never been approved by the Senate. You just joined the kingdom, You are not familiar with the situation in the kingdom, and your Majesty and the senior elders do not understand your abilities. They will not give you heavy responsibilities, so you have to lower your stature and strive for some lower positions first.
It's just that in the city of Turii, even the middle and low-level positions are always full and not easy to get, but you can go to Vicinia, Castellon, Amendolara in the Turii region... these places It is relatively easy to serve as the sub-officer of the financial, commercial, agricultural, construction, supervision and other departments of these town halls, and then gradually become the person in charge of a town department after becoming familiar with government affairs. Town Administrative Adjutant.
After this step, you can take the initiative to apply when the senate meeting elects a new chief executive of a certain town, and as long as your majesty is satisfied with your past political achievements, you will be taken into consideration..."
"How long would it take to do something like this...?"
"It's not like before, it's getting more and more strict, it probably takes four or five years."
"Four or five years, so long..."
Tibrus sneered and said: "It only takes four or five years to join the kingdom, and it is possible to become the chief executive of the town, which is already very good! For example, if we passed the exam and became the official office of the kingdom, even if we worked hard for 20 years, as long as we did not become the elders, It's impossible to become the chief executive of a town! But to become a veteran, alas... how can it be so easy!
However, I heard some rumors, 'His Majesty wants to discuss with the rotating chairmen to amend the law, so that officials with outstanding political achievements and outstanding abilities, but not senior officials can also take up this position! 'I don't think this is a rumor. This war has added a lot of land and a lot of towns to the kingdom. It's not enough to just let the old man serve as the chief executive of the town. What's more, I also heard that a fixed kingdom will be set up in the future. Governorship…”
"Governor?!..."
"This... Don't expect too much for the time being. The position of the governor must be those senior elders who have outstanding political achievements, strong abilities, have made enough merits, and can be trusted by His Majesty. There will be a chance in ten or twenty years.”
"… "
After a while, Tibrus saw that there was no response from the other side, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Publius, are you all right?"
"I... it's okay..."
Tibrus heard his voice weak, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly said: "Sir, we have been in the fumigation room for a long time, and it is easy to get dizzy, so we have to get out!"
Saying that, Tibrus went to help him up. The two of them seemed to have just been pulled out of the water. With sweat dripping from their whole bodies, they swayed out of the fumigation room and entered another small room.
The temperature here is relatively low, and there is no water mist. There are two wooden beds in the room. On the wooden beds are a dozen neatly stacked cloth towels. There is also a shiny copper pot and several slender bends hanging on the wall. stew knife.
Publius sat on the edge of the bed, looking around while recovering.
Tibrus shouted loudly, "Anyone?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door on the opposite side was pushed open, and two bare-chested servants entered, bowed respectfully and said, "Two adults, what are your orders?"
"You should be waiting here, and you should go to the fumigation room to check at any time. What if we fainted?" Tibrus criticized.
"Sir, we were originally waiting in this room, but then we heard you talking loudly inside, so we temporarily retreated to other rooms. Moreover, the bath steward told us earlier that one of the adults was a Turian, so we I think there should be no problem..." One of the servants quickly defended.
Tibrus blushed a little. He was chatting just now, and he almost made a mistake. He hurriedly coughed a few times: "Give us a massage."
massage? Again, this was a new word that Publius did not understand.
The two servants immediately wiped the sweat off their bodies diligently, and then let them lie down on the narrow wooden bed and began to massage their backs.
Publius saw that the man repeatedly slapped Tibrus with his hands, and Tibrus seemed to be enjoying himself very well. But when he was being massaged, the servant's fingers seemed to have a magical power. Every time he pressed it, he felt a strong tingling sensation. He originally wanted to lie down and continue the previous topic with Tibrus, but now he couldn't help it. The "Ah!" kept yelling, unable to continue talking at all.
The servants obviously saw too much of this, and they kept moving and exerting unabated strength.
