Hearing these words, the new citizens no longer complained, their eyes were bright, and they all said: They will definitely take the lead in abiding by the new military law!
Sesta and Adriankes had heard before that the Davos mercenaries had a military law with many items. The reason why the soldiers were strong in execution was closely related to the strict requirements of this military law. At that time, they were still very curious: a small mercenary actually developed a unique military law for himself, and now they finally have the opportunity to experience it for themselves!
For the old citizens of Cornerus, the ferocity of the mercenaries was only seen once in front of the temple, and the annihilation of the Lucanian tribal coalition and the breaking of the city of Amendolara were only heard. Amendolara fought with Turii many times before. Of course, there are some customary military rules in the city-state to ensure the smooth progress of military operations, but it is the first time I have heard of a comprehensive military law.
So Cornelus reminded: "I hope that military training will not affect the daily work of citizens."
"I believe that Felixius will coordinate the relationship between the two." Davos is full of confidence in Felixius. Then, he smiled and said to the squad leaders: "The military officer Felixius definitely needs some subordinates such as training instructors. You can discuss with him."
As soon as the words fell, dozens of people rushed over, vying to recommend themselves, making Felixius tired to deal with it.
Although these team officers are not good at literacy and arithmetic, it is their profession to be able to fight in the army. As new citizens of Amendolara, they also have a strong desire to show their abilities to the people.
"It seems that they are eager to contribute to the city-state too!" Davos said with emotion.
Cornelus nodded on the surface, but he thought in his heart: These new citizens who are used to fighting on the battlefield are really restless, I hope they can abide by the laws of the city-state!
"These are the main public offices of the city-state for the time being." Davos' words made Cornerus heave a sigh of relief. Every new position proposed by the new consul was an impact on the traditions of Amendolara, which made Corneros feel relieved. Ernerus felt a tangle in his heart.
"Now there is a very important matter that needs to be solved by all the elders of our Senate and the team officers." Davers' solemn expression made Cornerus nervous again.
"That's the issue of resettlement and land distribution for our new citizens." As soon as these words came out, the team officers immediately stopped pestering Felixius, and everyone stared at Davos in front of them.
"In order to maintain the harmony and stability of the city-state, and not to disturb the people who have just been liberated from the Lucanians, tonight and even tomorrow night, our worthy new citizens are still willing to set up tents and live in the square. (Actually, it was a severe request from Davos), but this is not a long-term solution, nor is it reasonable! After all, the new citizens fought bloody battles to protect this land, and many of their comrades were killed in battle. In exchange for today's peace in Amendolara!" Speaking of which, Davos was a little emotional: "We must settle them down as soon as possible and assign them the land they deserve, so as to repay their efforts and the enjoyment they deserve as citizens. Right! Otherwise, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems if it is delayed!"
Davos' words excited the new citizens present, while the old citizens looked solemn.
"How many widows are there now among the people of Amendolara who have lost their husbands?" Davos asked Cornerus.
"I'm afraid it's more than a thousand. The exact number will only be known after statistics." Cornerus said, looking at Raphias.
The newly appointed household registration officer Raphias immediately said: "When the meeting is over, I will go to the statistics immediately."
"Then tomorrow morning, please call them all to the square. Officers, you will also gather the unmarried warriors to the square, and the two sides will meet each other, without the arrangement of the elders, nor forcing them by force, and rely on your own abilities. And charm, the voluntary union of men and women. In addition, the unmarried girls in the city of Amendolara, I suggest that I also go to the square to participate in this meeting." After Davos finished speaking, the old citizens of Cornerus were okay. , On the way, Davos confided this idea to them, and finally persuaded them.
The new citizens exploded. You must know that in addition to a very small number of mercenaries who were married, there were also a small number of people who robbed local women in Persia and forced them to be their wives. The rest of the more than 2,000 people were still single. Under the leadership of Davos, not only have these mercenaries become citizens of the city-state, but now they have to solve their single problem, which is a great thing! Because these women with city-state status were not free people, nor were they bought concubines, and by marrying them, they also acquired the land and wealth left by their ex-husbands.
"Great! My brothers have hope now!"
"Matonis, don't be too happy. If your subordinates are like you, it's still a bit difficult to find a wife! If you want to attract women, it's not just about being strong!"
"Isn't it strong? At least you can give them stronger protection and do more farm work. I think that's what they need most now! And Olivers, if you dare to go to the square tomorrow, you won't be afraid of that Persian girl. ignore you."
"Heronimus, you wood, this time you have to talk to women more. This is not only about your happiness, but also a good head for your subordinates!"
"Geogris, why don't you speak. You don't have to be nervous. When you arrive at the square tomorrow, you can do whatever you want. Aphrodite will always arrange a woman for you!"
"Captain Hiros, don't just care about me, settle your marriage first!"
…
Davos smiled and watched his subordinates talk to each other excitedly.
The old citizens of Cornerus were a little helpless: the women who were originally citizens of the Greek city-state were very traditional. They seldom made public appearances and could not meet with strangers alone. Marriages were appointed by their parents. The husband is either a citizen of the city-state or a citizen of a neighboring city-state. After marriage, he is under the control of his husband. Her responsibility is to have children and take care of the housework. If the husband dies early, it is okay to have a child, and the property belongs to the child's name, she can manage it on her behalf, raise the child to grow up, and be under the control of the child in the future. Without children, then the husband's family has reason to sweep him out of the house and ask her to remarry...
Amendolara originally had about 4,000 citizens of the city-state, but now it has less than 500 people. It lacks enough strength to defend the city-state, and lacks enough labor to support so many women, children and elderly people. The reason why Cornerus and the others voluntarily agreed to accept mercenaries as citizens of the city-state was mainly for this reason, and of course there were also factors of repayment. Similarly, it was out of frustration for women to break with the Greek city-state tradition and make public appearances for such a large-scale meeting between men and women. After all, it is the best way to quickly settle down this group of soldiers full of evil spirits, quickly integrate into Amendolara, and become real citizens of Amendolara.
"At the same time, I also want to remind you. When you marry the selected woman, you should treat her former children as your own and raise them well; the elderly in her family should also be treated as your own. Old man, take good care; and... um... the humiliation they received among the Lucanians, I hope you don't blame her, because it's not their fault! It's the men of Amendolara who didn't do their best to protect them Our responsibility! We are real Greek warriors, what we have to do is to take good care of them and never let them be humiliated like this again! Then prepare carefully until one day we will enter Lucaria and let those indigenous people taste it too The men of Amendolara are amazing!" Davos said solemnly.
"That's right, boss!"
"Kill the Lucarians!"
"Don't worry, we will take good care of women, the elderly and children!"
…
The new citizens roared and made promises.
However, the old citizens felt that every word Davers said was like a whip, which made their cheeks hurt.
"After tomorrow's meeting is over, after each pair of men and women is determined, I suggest picking a good day and holding a grand mass wedding. All the men and women who have confirmed their relationship include those who robbed in Persia before, and of course my wedding is also included. Hold!"
The venue immediately became lively again.
"Leader Davos, you have finally decided to marry Cristoia!"
"It's enviable, what a woman Christoya is!"
…
Davos ignored the cacophony of these people and asked Cornerus: "Do we have a priest of Hera?"
"No, Amendolara is dedicated to Zeus. The closest and famous temple of Hera is in Metapontum."
"Send someone to Metapontum and invite the priests of Hera to preside over this grand wedding for us, and give blessings to the newlyweds!
Although Hera is the protector of marriage, the traditional marriage ceremony of the Greek city-state does not require Hera priests to be present, so Cornelus is puzzled.
Davos looked at him and said: "Because this wedding means the new life of Amendolara, I hope God Hera can bless these new people who represent the future of Amendolara! And I remember that the consul has a supervisory sacrifice. ceremonies and the right to enact festivals.”
Cornerus was tempted to say: that was the power of the consuls at the end of the royal age. In the present democratic age, the right to supervise ceremonies and establish festivals has long been vested in the Senate.
However, Davos had already obtained a lot of rights that exceeded the regulations of the original Amendolara consul, and he was numb. Under the sharp eyes of Davos, he nodded helplessly and said, "Yes." This nod means With Davos, the life-long consul, Amendolara's most sacred religious supervision power was also taken from the Senate.
On the shelves, thank you brothers for your support! I saw that some friends had already voted for a monthly vote before I could update it. I was so moved!
