Plessinas was obviously fully prepared, and he said calmly: "Don't forget, Hades is also in charge of Elysee Land, it is a place where you don't worry about death, wear, and care. , The sun-drenched field of happiness is the place that any Greek yearns to go after death! Besides, Hades, as the lord of hell, controls the wealth of the underground, and can bless our alliance territory with more abundant minerals! As for it is eerie and terrifying , that is for the enemy, because it brings death to the enemy and victory to us!"
"That's right, I love Hades!" Amyntas cheered.
"I agree to build the Temple of Hades! He has brought us victory, and he will bring us more!"
"Our consul is the descendant of Hades. With Hades as the protector, the alliance will receive more blessings!"
…
The former mercenary veterans expressed their approval one after another, creating a lot of momentum.
Polyxis sat down angrily, and it was not easy for the others to object at this moment.
Davos patted his thigh with his left hand and watched this scene calmly. He did not communicate with Plessinas in advance, and because of the busy affairs during this period, he did not think about it at all, but he did not expect Plessinas to give him a huge surprise and let him Realize that there really is a lot of articles that could do this.
His brain turned quickly, thinking about the pros and cons of this, then stood up, and everyone's eyes focused on him again: "Everyone, when we are helpless, we pray to God; when we are lost, we also Pray to the gods; the gods not only possess great power, but also can give us enlightenment in wisdom and heart. Hades is a god who can give many help to the people, not only to bring victory to our army, to bless the city-state Tranquility, and at the same time it can educate the people.
You see, the good people can go to the Elysee Paradise after death and live a happy life; but the people who did evil in their lives can't escape the judgment of the three judges Milos, Radamantos, and Aiago, and finally go to hell suffer. Hades is a just and selfless god-king. Once his temple is established in the city-state, he will always remind the people that even if the wicked are temporarily confiscated by the law, they will not escape the punishment of hell after death, which forces them to live. Try to repent and do good things from time to time; and for the people who do good deeds, worshiping the Temple of Hades will also encourage them, don't give up their kind hearts because of temporary grievances, because the beautiful Elysee Paradise will call to them... In this way , the morality of the people of our alliance will become better, the order of the city-state will be more orderly, and the citizens will get along more friendly! you say right? "
"I agree! With the Temple of Hades, my job is much easier!" Inspector Antonios immediately echoed loudly.
Just when some people were still hesitating, Davos continued: "I have a suggestion for the construction of the Temple of Hades. There can be one main temple and one auxiliary temple. The main temple is painted with bright and cheerful colors, and Elysee is painted around it. In the happy picture of Paradise, Hades should be gentle and kind; while the partial temple is dark and frightening, surrounded by horrific images of hell, Hades is majestic and selfless. In addition, the Hall of Valor can also be built in the main temple, all for alliance and city-state warfare Dead citizens, their names should be engraved on it, and enjoy the public's admiration and worship! I think their heroic souls must also accompany Hades in the Elysee!"
Daves talked about his idea with some emotion, especially the last sentence moved the elders, and finally decided to build the Temple of Hades.
Then, Davos proposed that the construction of the temple should be handed over to Plessinas, which was approved.
Let Plessinas be responsible for the most important public construction project in this alliance, not only because Davos repaid Plessinas for his good intentions, but also because it was his proposal to build the Temple of Hades, and he was responsible for nature Will go the extra mile to build it.
When Plessinas thanked Plessinas privately after the meeting, Davers also reminded him to communicate with Heracled.
The next issue was the question "On the distribution of the land of Turii". Originally, Melantheus slaughtered nobles and wealthy merchants in Turii, and among the remaining citizens, except for a few people such as Bulcos, Polyxis, Orifis, Enanilus, and Mathesacus, Few large landowners remained.
Since the original city of Turii was destroyed, everyone lost the proof of their land, and in order to avoid disputes and ensure fairness, the newly built Union Senate redistributed the land of all the citizens of the original Turii, basically every The family guarantees five acres of land, and most people have no objection. After all, the people who have lost their homes can get the land again, which is already blessed by the gods, not to mention that most of the Tulii civilians did not have so many land before, only a very small number. People expressed dissent, among which Polyxis was the most opposed. His reason was very simple: as we all know, his family used to have more than 500 acres of land, but now only five acres are allocated, and even a fraction is not enough. unfair!
When he made a scene, people like Orifis and Mathisakus also watched the show with a cold eye.
Davos quietly asked Burkes to take the lead and expressed his willingness to give up the original land and accept the new allocation.
At the same time, he secretly made Amyntas and the others rise up, attacked Polyxis, and even warned him: the original Turii has been destroyed, and although the new city is being rebuilt, it has nothing to do with the former Turii. If you insist on linking the original city, then you must clear up the crimes some people have committed in the destruction of Turii. I believe that the people will never just expel these accomplices who have ruined their families!
Polyxis was terrified and dared not stand up against it any more, and naturally the others could only agree. In fact, it was the greed in their hearts at work. They also did not think that in this war, they lost not only land and money, but also a large number of clansmen and slaves. Even if they were allocated more land, they would not have enough manpower to work in a short period of time. Even they cannot support such a large population.
After the passage of this bill, some citizens of Amendolara have previously allocated insufficient land, and this time they will also make up for it.
The Xubari Plain is vast and fertile. After allocating the lands of the citizens of the Union, the Senate found that it only occupied less than one-tenth of the area of the Xubari Plain, and a large amount of land was left unused. For the Tua Alliance of money and food, how could it just watch it go to waste.
After discussing with the elders, Davos promulgated the "Land Lease Law": that is, all prospective citizens of the city-state in the alliance can lease public land of the city-state, the land area does not exceed five acres, and the annual rent tax is 1/10 of the land income. .
Mersis once proposed that the tax burden be one-fifth, which was rejected by Davers. He believed that since he has become a reserve citizen, of course, he must enjoy the benefits of the alliance in advance, so that other free people will actively join the alliance.
At the same time, the decree in the Senate also announced that all prospective citizens who are active in farming and paying taxes can successfully become full citizens after the preparatory period.
This is a suggestion from Kunogolata. He believes that farming can tell whether a person is hard-working, persevering and patient, and whether he has a strong physique. A good farmer is a good city-state citizen, so it is a kind of examination.
The elders all agreed with him. Later, it became a practice that all prospective citizens had to rent land for two or three years for inspection.
There is a lot of land, and there are many people who rent the land. Davers proposed: establish the post of agricultural officer to centrally manage the distribution, leasing, farming and other matters of the alliance's land.
The proposal was passed and Burkes, his nominee, served.
At the same time, the responsibility of the military officer Felixius is also quite heavy, because there are still three months before the release of the Crotone prisoners. In order to prevent these prisoners from returning to their hometown, Crotone suddenly changed his face and broke the contract. Numerous reserve citizens were organized, trained and, after three months, had some combat capability. So Felixius had to order more veterans into boot camp as instructors on training days.
The next issue is still Davers' proposal: give the Union's lower public officials about two or three Opoles a day to subsidize their living needs.
When the proposal came out, Mersis stood up excitedly: "Lord Davos, since every citizen owns land and pays only 1% of the tax every year, their income is more than enough to maintain their daily life. Public office is the duty and honor of city-state citizens, so why pay them?! According to your proposal, a low-level public official is paid about three opals a day, and the treasury will pay him about sixteen a month. Order seven drachmas. Now, it is estimated that the lowest level public officials in the Tua Union may need about 200, and it will cost one talent a month this month, which is a lot of money! We can't learn Athens, Athens has the Laurion silver mine, which produces three talents a day, and we're just spending more than profiting!"
"Don't worry, Mersis, let's talk slowly." Davos motioned Mersis to calm down and asked softly, "How many bookkeepers do you have?"
"Five, but they are all reserve citizens."
"Do they work in the treasury every day?"
"No, our treasury didn't have any income in the past, and we only let them come over to book and store it when we needed it occasionally. The rest of the time, they rented land from citizens' homes."
"What about now?"
"Now... Now that we have Turii, we have a market and a port. Tariffs alone make a lot of money every day. Of course, they have to follow me back and forth between the treasury, the market, and the port every day."
"So do they still have time to farm now?"
"cannot."
"So what do they live on?"
