Davos' proposal has been approved by everyone, especially the new citizens. They are completely unfamiliar with the laws of Amendolara. How can they be in charge of the lawsuit? There will definitely be conflicts with the locals. As a candidate recognized by both parties, Cornerus should be able to coordinate this conflict.
Cornelus smiled bitterly in his heart: In less than half a day, his position as an aide-de-camp was removed. Although the jurisdiction of the city administrator is larger than that of the newly-established aide-de-camp, the aide-de-camp belongs to the consul after all. The deputy also means to check and balance the consul, and the city chief executive is a complete subordinate of the consul. But Davos is now in complete control of the Senate, and it seems that although he is young, he seems to be familiar with politics. Even Raphias and the others think they are more suitable for this position, so what else can they say.
"I am willing to serve as the city administrator!" At this moment, he was completely resigned.
Davos glanced at him and said with a smile: "Of course, Cornerus, you have many affairs, especially the city-state order. Therefore, we should assign you a suitable patrol captain."
As he said that, he looked at the others: "The patrol captain will be elected next. Although this is a low-level position, most of you have no experience in public office in the city-state. I suggest that you start from the bottom and accumulate experience. Everyone here, Even the elders of the Senate can recommend themselves!"
Davos' words made everyone ponder.
"Lord Consul, the patrol captain has already been appointed!" Cornelus reminded.
"Oh, who is it?"
"Anticores, he also served as a fire chief. During his tenure, he was highly praised by the citizens. He only had his right hand cut off by the Lucarians, but he has now recovered."
"Since he is injured, once there is a conflict, he will not be able to deter the troublemakers, so let him only serve as the fire chief. For the citizens of the city-state, fighting fires and disasters is a big thing, especially Amendolara. , fires and mudslides are both terrible disasters, so the fire chief has a heavy responsibility, and it really needs an experienced and capable citizen! I suggest adding a deputy fire chief, you can also recommend yourself to learn how to prevent disasters.” Davos said solemnly.
"Lord Consul, it makes sense." Cornelus had to admit that Davos had a very deep understanding of the importance of the fire brigade in the mountain city of Amendolara. Of course he would not know, Davos was a village official in a mountain village in his previous life.
"So, who wants to be the patrol captain?" Davos just finished speaking, and two people stood up immediately, Sesta and Hiros, and a few more people stood up one after another.
Davos thought for a while and said: "Sesta, the number of former mercenaries who participated in the Persian expedition among the new citizens is the largest. These soldiers killed and looted in Persia... They have done everything, and it is fortunate that there is military law in the military camp. , Now back in the city, I am afraid that I will not adapt to it for a while, and something will happen. You are not familiar with them, I am afraid they will not obey you, so I recommend Hiros as the patrol captain. "
"Lord Consul, please rest assured! I will assist Lord Cornerus to maintain order in the city!" Hiros promised.
Davos turned his head and asked, "Cornerus, what do you think?"
"I agree." Cornelus did not hesitate, he had already seen that Davos was determined to hold the only position that the city-state usually had a little force in his own hands.
Sesta did not show disappointment, but asked again: "Then I apply to be the deputy fire chief!"
"Yes, I have no objection." Davos nodded, willing to do things is a good thing.
Naturally, the appointment of the two also passed smoothly.
"Is there an Inspector next?" Davos asked.
"Yes." As soon as Cornelus nodded, he saw that most of the people were smiling.
Davos explained to the somewhat puzzled Cornerus: "When we were in Persia, there was a Spartan inspector who led hundreds of Spartans to fight with us, so they thought they were right about this. The job is a bit familiar. But I think the Spartan and Amendolara inspectors must be very different."
"Why?" Olivers asked from the back row.
"Because the power of the Spartan Inspector is so great that he can supervise their king, the duties of the Inspector of Amendolara should not reach this level." Davos explained, of course, even if there was one in the past, he would no longer Let this happen.
"Can supervise the king?!" Olivers and some people showed surprised expressions.
And Cornelus was no longer surprised why Davos knew so much. He began to believe in the rumors of mercenaries: Davos was the one favored by God!
"The Ombudsman of Amendolara is mainly responsible for reviewing the list of the elders of the Senate, supervising the late arrival and early departure of the elders during the meeting of the Senate, supervising the civic morality of the city-state, conducting citizen investigations, and reviewing the expenditure of the public property of the city-state, and managing public works..." After Cornelus finished speaking, everyone took a breath: This Amendorara prosecutor also has great power!
Seeing that everyone was on the verge of making a move, Davos said: "Please note, it is not easy to be a good supervisor. First of all, you must be able to write reports, and secondly, you must be able to count and understand financial reports." In fact, it doesn't matter if the inspector can't read or count, as long as his slaves can do it, but slaves who can read, write, and count like this are high-end goods in the slave market. .
Hearing this, most people gave up their thoughts. Most of the new citizens were born in poverty. It is good to know a few words. Writing reports and checking accounts is simply an extravagant hope. However, there were still people who stood up and recommended themselves, Antonios, Alexis, and Laphias and Stromboli, the two nobles of Amendorara.
The two company captains under him recommended themselves at the same time, and Davos was not good at being partial, so everyone in the venue voted for these four candidates. In the end, Antonios won. The reason is very simple: Davos promoted almost all the members of the original Hiros team. He became a team officer, and the Hiros team was under the control of Antonios. He himself has a high emotional intelligence, so he naturally has the most votes.
"Alexis, don't be discouraged, this position is a one-year selection. By next year, maybe it will be your turn." Davos comforted jokingly.
Alexis was not depressed, but smiled: "You don't have to wait that long, I'll wait until Antonios can't finish, and I'll pick it up."
Antonio stared: "Am I that bad!"
The new citizens laughed, while the old citizens such as Raphias were silent, and Davos watched.
"In addition, we have the Treasurer, who is responsible for the management of the treasury, the collection of taxes, and public goods, such as quarries, as well as the management of the population of the city-state."
As soon as Cornelus finished speaking, Mercis stood up, and Raphias also stood up.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Davos said with a smile, "Olivers, why don't you recommend yourself?"
Olivers shook his head vigorously: "When it comes to counting, I have a headache. In case the tax collection is less and the inspector finds out that I want to lose money, I can't afford it."
The crowd laughed again.
"I think Mersis is the most suitable for this position. In the past, he managed the cargo camp. The accounts of money and materials were very clear. There was basically no shortage or embezzlement, and no one complained about him..." Olivers continued.
If they vote again, they will definitely be the original mercenaries again. Although Davos has achieved the goal of completely controlling Amendolara, it is not conducive to the unity of the city-state. Therefore, Davos thought about it and said to Cornerus: "I think we can set up another census officer. The treasurer is only responsible for financial taxation, and the census officer is responsible for the management of the population, citizens, their families, and even slaves and freed slaves. , all foreign freedmen, etc. are under its jurisdiction. The household registration officer has a very heavy business now, because there are thousands of new citizens to be registered, and in the future, it may be even busier. I recommend Mersis as the treasurer , Rafias as the household registration officer."
