On this day, the people ransacked Kunogolata's house like a mob: one of his sons was killed, another daughter committed suicide because of defilement, many tribesmen and slaves were injured, and most of the family's belongings were taken away .
The next day, the heartbroken Kunogolata was unable to go to the ground because of his injuries, so he asked his slave to send a letter to the city hall, expressing his willingness to resign as general. But the people were still puzzled, and at the same time they were worried about Kunogolata's retaliation for what they did yesterday, so they continued to rally and protest in front of the city hall and demanded an immediate citizens' assembly. General Neonsis and others were "helpless" agree.
Afterwards, the citizens' assembly was quickly convened at noon, and the first issue was: the people proposed to expel Kunogorata. The majority of citizens painted "Agree" on the pottery, and the proposal was passed. As a result, Kunogorata, who served as chief general for several years after the Peloponnesian War, helped Turii, with the obvious Athenian alliance label, escape the liquidation of the new Greek overlord Sparta and its alliance. , but was expelled from Turii by the "pottery expulsion method" invented by the Athenians.
The second topic of the Citizens Assembly was to re-elect the "Nine Generals". In the end, Neonsis was elected chief general, Burkes was elected general because he successfully hired Davos' expeditionary force, and Ancitanos was elected because the people besieged the city hall. At that time, he defended Kunogorata a few times, but was abandoned by the people and lost the election.
Kunogolata got the news at home, and was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh. Originally, according to the provisions of the "Pottery Expulsion Law", he could return to the city-state after leaving for ten years, but he made up his mind to leave this sad city. After obtaining the consent of his wife, children and clansmen, he began to clean up that afternoon. Baggage, and sold the house and field at a very low price, only Ancitanos visited him once during this period.
A day later, Kunogolata took his family, some of his clansmen, and nearly a hundred slaves who were loyal to him, carrying a package and driving a pack car, ready to leave the city.
After hearing the news, the people of Turii came one after another, but not to see them off, but to abuse and vent their grievances that had not dissipated, and even threw sundries at Kunogolata and his family. Everyone accompanying them was afraid. Bowing his head and rushing, only Kunogorata, who was lying on the carriage because of his injury, faced countless angry gazes, and his expression was calm: a few years ago, he also used this method to expel the Athenian citizens of Turii, and today he died. To this situation can be regarded as retribution!
He also remembered the Ashikurodoyax family who had been expelled due to their defeat in the war, and the Sybaris aborigines who were expelled and even killed on a large scale not long after the city was built...
Could this be Greek democracy? He suddenly had a kind of doubt, until the younger son Deca Okrat woke him up: "Father, Neonsis is there!"
He looked in the direction of his son's finger: Neonsis was standing above the city gate in front of him, looking down.
Kunogolata, who has been in politics for many years, knows who the real manipulator is when it happens. When the eyes met at this moment, it did not arouse more hatred in his heart.
He watched quietly until he left the city gate, looking back at the mother country where he was born and raised, with a sad expression on his face.
He suddenly said in a deep voice: "Neonsis drives this beast of "public opinion" to deal with me, this time I underestimated him, but I'm afraid it's not enough to control this beast with his ability, something will happen sooner or later …”
Decaocrate said vaguely: "Will this bad guy be kicked out of Turii?!"
"Who knows?..." Kunogorata turned around, stroked his son's head with one hand, looked at the unpredictable north, and said nervously: "Let's go, as we discussed before, go first Amendolara…”
… … … …
When Kunogolata and his party came to the Saraceno River, they saw Davos, the consul of Amendolara, leading several senators and a team of guards waiting on the other side.
After Kunogolata heard about it, he hurriedly ordered the slaves to drive the carriage to the front of the line.
Seeing Kuno Gorata lying on the carriage, Davos said loudly: "Lord Kuno Gorata, I'm glad you chose to come to Amendolara! When we heard the news of your coming, our Senate passed an emergency. After consultation, it was decided to grant you the citizenship of Amendolara, are you willing to accept it?"
After all, Kunogolata was only expelled from the city-state, but his Turii citizenship was not deprived. After ten years, he can return to Turii. In these ten years, he only needs to be a guest in his state, Amendo Lara's move may just be self-indulgent.
But when Kurograka heard this, his slightly disturbed mood finally recovered, he immediately thanked Davos, and said sincerely: "I am very happy to be a citizen of the same country as Lord Davos. !"
The tribesmen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Turiyi and Amendolara had just signed an alliance agreement, they were really afraid that Amendolara would refuse to accept them due to the bad relationship between the two cities.
In fact, because of this issue, Davos did not welcome Kunogolata with great fanfare, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the old citizens. Davos has only been in contact with Kuno Gorata twice, and he doesn't know much about it, but the only two contacts made him feel that Kuno Gorata's political ability is not low, and he knows from the information obtained. , During his tenure as chief general, Turui was able to maintain political stability and trade prosperity, which shows that his political level was good. Unfortunately, due to his poor military ability, he lost the chief general and was eventually driven out of Turei, but This is in line with Davos' taste, and from the expulsion incident here, Davos vaguely felt something, so he actively welcomed Kunogolata.
On the way to Amendolara, both sides avoided talking about Turii.
"There are still some vacant houses in the city of Amendolara, which can be lent to you and your family. However, I suggest you buy them, because the price is not high. As for your clansmen, they can only rent for the time being. Live, because they are not citizens of Amendolara yet." Mersis, the financial officer, did not care whether Kunogolata was a new guest, and gave him a serious explanation as if he was a brother.
Kunogolata expressed understanding and said: "I heard that the city-state recently passed an Immigration Law, I wonder if they are eligible? Can they apply to become citizens of Amendolara?"
Has this thing started to circulate in Turii? Davos was very happy to hear the news, he immediately explained in detail: "Of course they can apply, this matter is handled by the household registration officer Raphias, I think there should be no problem with the registration after the review, but according to "Immigration" The Law stipulates that it takes a long period of investigation, usually two years, to be familiar with the laws, customs and habits of Amendolara, and not violate any law or discipline before becoming a pre-citizen, and then can enjoy the part of the city-state. rights, and it will take two to three years to become a full-fledged citizen…”
"In other words, it will take five to six years to become an official citizen of the city-state of Amendolara?!" Kuno Gorata was a little surprised. After all, these tribesmen took the initiative to leave Turii because of him, and he had to help them in the future. Life is responsible.
Davos of course heard that he had objections to this, so he emphasized: "Because according to the new law of Amendolara, the official citizens of the city-state must be allocated 'land', so we must be cautious!"
Kunogolata thought he heard it wrong, and looked at Davos in surprise, but saw that he was serious, not like a lie. You must know that the right to give citizens 'land' is only available when the city-state is first established. The land of Turii is much larger than that of Amendolara. Since its establishment, no new citizens have been allocated 'land' ', Amendolara has a much longer history of building the city than Turui, and its land is even less than that of Turui. Where can the extra land be distributed to new citizens? ! Also listed this as a city-state act? ! Kunogolata wanted to question Davos very much, but he thought that he was a newcomer, so he didn't need to be serious with this young consul at the very beginning, making people feel that he was not easy to get along with. These things can be inquired about later. So he changed the subject: "I also heard that the slaves of your city-state can easily become free citizens, and they can also have the opportunity to become citizens of the city-state."
"There is such a thing, but their situation is special. If you want your slave to become a citizen of Amendolara, the conditions to be met may be more difficult." Davos said truthfully.
"As long as there is a chance, I will do my best to make them citizens, in return for their loyalty to protect me and my family desperately in Turii!" Kunogolata finally said something involving this matter, with a look on his face. But it was very calm, as if seeing through the world.
This is very different from the Kunogolata that Davos knew. Could this incident be a rare lesson for him? ! Some people grow up in setbacks, while others give up in setbacks. If Kuno Gorata is the former, then it is indeed Amendolara's luck. Davos thought of this and sighed: "These slaves are really lucky to have you as their master!"
Kunogolata responded immediately: "Amendolara has you as the consul, unprecedented changes have taken place, and it is also the luck of the city-state!"
"No change!" Davos said without humility, and said firmly: "In today's troubled world, change will perish, change will survive!"
After listening to Kuno Gorata, he pondered this sentence silently, and went all the way to the foot of Amendolara Mountain. When he saw the Lucanian slaves who were busy on the construction site, Kuno Gorata stopped and watched with a complicated expression. After a while, he said in surprise: "I can't believe that these Lucanians are so obedient! There are probably more than a thousand people here, and there are not many soldiers guarding them. They are so serious and hardworking!"
"Because the city-state did not cut off their lives because of the crimes they committed, but gave them hope!" Davos said meaningfully.
"hope?!"
"Why do the Greeks and Lucalia have to be killed to the death?! Why can't they live together peacefully in a city-state?!" Seeing some gratifying changes in Kunogolata, Davos decided to preemptively reveal something.
Davos's words exploded in Kunogorata's heart, and he suddenly looked at Davos with an expression of disbelief on his face.
