It was the first time that the Turii elders heard about Davos' ambition, and they were all surprised.
Burkes widened his eyes and looked at Davos who was standing in the circle talking and laughing in surprise. He remembered that he had worked so hard to invite him to Greater Greece, just because he was a capable mercenary leader, but he didn't expect that. This young man has such great ambitions, not only to save Turii, but also to change the political situation in Greater Greece! Because according to Davos, a council of 600 people means how many city-states will the alliance merge!
The other Turians were also whispering and discussing, and some even asked others, "Who is Vespa?"
They were either skeptical or excited, but most of them did not raise objections. After all, with the help of Amendolara led by Davos, Turii and them were lucky to be reborn, and they were not familiar with the young consul. They did not rashly object before acting on the style.
Only Polyxis asked: "There must be a limit to the number of people in the Senate. It is impossible to expand indefinitely."
"Six hundred people! This new venue can only accommodate 600 people! When the establishment is full, I believe the situation in our alliance will be very different. At that time, there may be new bills and a new assembly hall. !" Davos said without hesitation.
Davos' self-confidence made Polyxis 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 said uncontrollably: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm alive. I won't be able to see that day."
When these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Davos stared at him and said lightly, "Lord Pollux, I believe you will see it!"
In an instant, Polyxis felt the clothes on his back soaked with cold sweat, although Davos didn't rebuke him, he felt invisible pressure. He hurriedly bowed his head and said nothing.
"Master Consul, the elders of the Senate are for life. These outsiders become elders in this way, and how can the citizens of this alliance become elders?" Kunogolata quickly moved the topic away.
"Although your question has nothing to do with 'whether or not to build the Senate House', I am still willing to tell you my thoughts." Davers retracted his gaze, organized the language, and said slowly: "Our current public offices are all It's a one-year election, and I don't think it's very appropriate, such as Amintas being selected as the supervisor-"
Amyntas immediately shouted: "My lord, I am not interested in architecture at all!"
The crowd laughed.
"I know, this is just a metaphor." Davos also smiled: "Amintas doesn't understand engineering and construction, but in this position, he has to serve the people, so he has to devote energy to understand and understand. Study, until he has a preliminary grasp of construction knowledge and understands the needs of engineering around the league, his term is about to come, so he has hardly done any effective work during the year. If you give him another year, His work as a construction supervisor must have been much better than in the first year, because he already had a basic understanding of the entire construction of the alliance and the needs of each city for public buildings. So in the third year, his work efficiency was even better. High, because he is completely familiar with it, and can apply for funds from the Senate, directing builders, craftsmen, laborers, and slaves to build large buildings and repair public facilities, and has achieved some results, everyone, right?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Amintas shouted loudly: "Yes!!"
The crowd laughed again.
"So the election of the Union's public office every year is a waste of time and inefficiency. It should be broken, but the specific term of each public office will be discussed later. Now back to the Kuno Gorata issue... Facing the crowd, Davos said earnestly: "According to the bill we are about to promulgate, every citizen has the right to hold public office. According to my thoughts, a citizen who has just reached the age of 18 and aspires to become a senator, then First of all, he must have served three or more minimum public positions for five years, such as serving as a patrolman, firefighter, household registration scribe, etc. At the same time, he must also join the army to fight, participate in more than two major battles, etc., to be eligible Apply to the Senate for a higher public office.
At this time, he has a wealth of low-level work experience, and is physically strong and familiar with war. The Senate can decide whether to let him serve as city defense captain, fire captain, household registration officer, manufacturing supervisor, commercial officer, financial officer, supervisor and other intermediate positions based on his performance, abilities and specialties. He is about 30 years old.
Then he must have held two or more mid-level public offices, and served as a company captain or even a battalion captain in the regiment for three years, by which time he should be 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 troops to fight.
At this time, he can apply to join the Senate, and the Senate decides whether he can become a senator based on his performance. And the chief executive of the city can only be held by the elders of the Senate. I wonder if you accept my idea? "
"Agree! Agree! Young people should exercise more!" The elders shouted in unison.
For at least 20 years, we don't have to worry! This is the idea of a few talented mediocre people.
The elders elected in this way are definitely the outstanding elites among the citizens, and the matter of a fool like Neonsis serving as the chief general will never happen again in the alliance! This is Kunogorata's heartfelt approval.
It seems that there is more to take up public positions and accumulate administrative experience, so as not to be looked down upon by young people in the future! Those who think that way are hard workers like Hiros.
…
The vast majority of the senators agreed with Davos' idea, because whether it is extending the term of public office or serving as the city's chief executive, the restrictions are more to protect the interests of the current senators, but some people have raised objections.
"There are only so few public positions in the alliance. If the term of office is extended, I am afraid that many people will not be able to take the turn." Ancitanos said with concern.
"There are only so many positions now, but in the future, some people may rush to cities hundreds of miles away to take up positions. At that time, every city will probably need low-level household registration officers, low-level financial officers and other low-level officials, and then the Senate will be appointed by the Senate. Senior officials such as the subordinate senior household registration officers, senior financial officers, etc. will be in charge. Our Senate needs to establish a committee to supervise, manage and evaluate the performance of these public officials.”
The ambition contained in Davos's words excites some people and makes others doubtful, but in general everyone is very happy, because the establishment of a new committee has made many idle veterans have To do things, and the power is not small,
Only Mersis was anxious: "There will be so many public jobs in the future, how much should their salaries cost?!"
The crowd laughed again.
Davers had no choice but to say, "We'll discuss the salary later."
The resolution to "build a Senate chamber for 600 people" was passed, and it was time to discuss building a temple.
There is no need to discuss the construction of the temple according to reason. It is enough to rebuild the new temple on the original site as it is. The elders do not have much objection to this, and this resolution will be passed smoothly. At this time, Plessinas stood up and spoke out his opinion: "I oppose the rebuilding of the Temple of Apollo!"
Everyone was stunned.
Plessinas was very satisfied with the effect of these words. He glanced at Davos, completely ignoring everyone's surprised expressions, and continued to say loudly: "Because our devotion to Apollo has not exchanged for the sun god to treat us. The blessing of the free people! The betrayal of the freedmen, the occupation of Turii, the whole city weeping, but Apollo turned a blind eye to it, his inaction was not seen by even the gods, so his temple was also cast aside , turned to ashes in the flames!"
Plessinas blamed Apollo for the destruction of the city of Turii, which seemed to be blasphemy, but Apollo, as the patron saint of Turii, did not even keep his own temple in the end, which really made people believe in gods. After being "remind" by Plessinas, the elders of the zodiac felt a little strange: Did Apollo give up Turii
Davers looked at Plessinas with interest.
"Then who rescued the citizens of Turii and avenged the Turii?! Of course, the citizens of Amendolara! But which god was supporting the army of Amendolara? Look at the military flag held high by the heroic citizen soldiers, isn't it the Pluto who is waving a double fork and bringing death to the Crotones! It's also Hades, who blesses the mercenaries in the hot spring swamp and lets The god of death blew the wind of the underworld and easily took the lives of 8,000 Lucanians! Now Turii has been reborn in the ruins, and Amendolara and Turiyi have become one, as the army of Amendolara The protector of Hades, who also rescued Turii twice, is the reason why Apollo made concessions, and we must not forget his blessings and blessings! Therefore, the new temple of Turii should be built Temple of Hades, bless Turii with eternal peace and tranquility!!"
After Plessinas finished speaking, the elders were in an uproar.
Kunogolata turned his head to peek at Davos, and found that he also showed a surprised expression: Could it be that Plessinas guy's own opinion
"Plessinas, you should know that Apollo is the main god worshipped by the great Greek city-state (the other is Hera). From city-states, Apollo is very important to the Turians!" Ancitanos reminded.
"Of course I do. Citizens can still build the altar of Apollo and continue to worship him, but as the city-state's protector, his inaction has ended his mission! We need new, stronger gods who are more willing to bless us. Only in this troubled time to give the Turians peace! Therefore, the Temple of Hades should be built in our Acropolis!" Plessinas said proudly.
"In my memory, there is almost no public temple of Hades in the whole of Greece, let alone regard him as the protector of the city-state. Why? Because Hades' kingdom of God is terrifying, people are afraid of him. If the Temple of Hades is built, I am afraid that no public will be willing to go to the Acropolis! Not to mention being laughed at by other city-states!" Polyxis stood up and protested loudly.
