The prosperity of the port has busy the elders of the senate.
The city administrator of Turii, Kunogolata, is busy dealing with various disputes and lawsuits all day long, as well as selecting patrolmen and firefighters to maintain order in the hot port area, prevent fires and keep an eye on Turi New management problems in Yicheng due to the increasing number of prospective citizens.
Cornerus, the city administrator of Amendolara, faced the same problem because of the influx of foreigners in the warehouse hotel district and the newly built market.
Ombudsman Antonios pays close attention to the changes in the moral atmosphere of the two cities, whether the people get along well, whether there is abuse of the elderly, women, and children, whether there is abuse of free people, slaves, and so on.
The military officer Felixius had a headache how to reasonably integrate the huge reserve citizens into the army and train them into qualified soldiers in the shortest time.
One can imagine how busy the census officer Raphias is. He has proposed to the Senate more than once to increase the number of scribes and archivists.
The treasurer, Mersis, was busy collecting land tax from citizens and business tax at the same time. Although he lost a lot of weight because of this, the fat man was happier the busier he was.
The commercial officer Marigi is under a lot of pressure, not only to ensure high-quality services in the market and the port, but also to maintain order in the two most crowded areas, especially in the port area where there are many foreigners. At the same time, he also has to consider Tua. Continued development of alliance trade. Because with the gradual completion of the reconstruction of Turii, the demand for certain commodities among urban residents will naturally decrease significantly. How to prevent a sharp fall in foreign trade? He has been trying to figure out a way, and Davos's suggestion to him is: Before the Tua League has developed new, exclusive and high-quality goods, it can rely on novel competitive games and entertainment to attract foreign wealthy people to come. City-state consumption…
Although the agricultural officer Bourkes was a businessman before, in fact he was also a big landowner. He cultivated grapes, olives and wheat. He was also familiar with agriculture. He was not only responsible for surveying the land, allocating the land, leasing the land, and resolving disputes between the neighboring households. , but also to provide good advice to the people according to the actual situation of the farmland, so that they can obtain higher harvests and benefits.
Superintendent Alexis is undoubtedly one of the busiest senior public officials. Although the rebuilding of Turii was under the overall responsibility of the Reconstruction Committee, with Heracled in charge, the specific implementation was his job. He was not only responsible for purchasing various building materials in a timely manner, but also organizing manpower and maintaining order. At the same time, he has to supervise the construction of roads and bridges in charge of little Heracled, as well as the construction of the new market under the city of Amendolara. Davers shouted to quit his job, but he threw himself into his busy work early the next morning.
Except for the elders who were in public office, they were too busy.
The most important thing is that the Alliance Mediation Committee is composed of three people. Once there is a big dispute in the city-state and the law cannot be resolved for a while, then it will be handed over to them to persuade and settle it.
The Public Officials Investigation Committee is composed of five members and is responsible for monitoring the employment status of middle and low-level public officials and establishing files for reference in future promotions. At the same time, if people report a public official, they also need to investigate whether it is true and give a response.
There is also the Mint Committee consisting of three people. Most of the Greek city-states mint their own coins, one is to facilitate transactions and make profits, the other is to commemorate major events and sacrifice to gods, and the third is to publicize their existence to other city-states. Of course, the Tua Alliance is no exception. They are waiting for the completion of the reconstruction of Turii before launching their first batch of coins...
In addition, there are some temporary committees, such as the temple preparatory committee, which is in charge of Plessinas. The elders of these committees serve as public officials, with most serving two-year terms and rotating upon expiration.
Although October is not the election day of the Tua Union, it is a good day for various departments to recruit public officials since the promulgation of the Union Public Service Law. Those who pass the test will be screened according to the citizens’ circumstances: they have joined the army many times to fight, pay taxes on time, obey the law, and have made military exploits in battles or paid wounds heroically. The first two are mandatory. They don't join the military, pay taxes, and don't qualify for public office. Disabled citizens have to see if it affects their work.
Just when the elders of the senate were in a daze and the citizens were in full swing for their public office, Davos received a special guest at the mansion of Turiyi.
This is a strong middle-aged man, although wearing Greek clothes, he can't hide his sturdy mountain wildness. Sure enough, under the watchful eye of the guards, he spoke in a strange Greek pronunciation: "Respected consul of the Tua League, Avinogis of Laos asked me to greet you on his behalf. I am his brother, Arobmas."
Davos was shocked, his expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "Laos? Laos of Lucania?!"
"Yes." Arobmas stared at Davos and said simply: "Although Laos belongs to Lucania now, my brother and I are both Greeks!"
Of course Davos knew about this, but his expression remained the same, turning his head to glance at Asisters next to him.
Asistes understood and immediately came out and asked: "As far as we know, Avinogis is an important leader of Laos, and he strongly supported Lucaria before the war with Turii. The Lucalia Union went to war with Turii, one of the main enemies of our Tua Union, and it doesn't matter if he is Greek or not!"
Arobmas didn't expect that the other party knew him very well, and it was useless to play family cards. He was a little panicked: "We are really Greeks! Laos is a colonial city built by Sybaris, a Lucarian people a hundred years ago. Going south, the city of Cybalis has been destroyed by Crotone, and no city-state has sent troops to rescue Laos. We Laos have no choice. In order to save our people, we can only turn to Lucalia, but we have not forgotten our own. The blood of noble Greeks flows in our blood. We speak Greek at home, worship the great gods Apollo and Hera, and look forward to returning to Greece one day! Because of this, Lucanians We are very defensive, suppress us, bully us, treat us as aliens. We have to do something against our own wishes at some point in order not to be suspected and destroyed by them!"
Arobmas said excitedly, looking directly at Davos with a respectful look: "Since I heard that the consul-sama, you annihilated the Lucanian tribal coalition with less victory, my brother and I have been greatly affected. Excited! It didn't take long for you to once again lead the army to defeat the mighty Crotone, and become the master of Amendolara and Turii, thus adjoining the territory of Lucania! My brother admires Your great military achievements, and I sincerely hope that you will help us, the suffering descendants of Sybaris and the city of Laos, to return to the arms of the Greeks!"
Davos was not moved by Arobmas' praise, and nodded slightly with a calm expression: "What help do you need from the Tua Alliance?"
"My brother hopes to form an alliance with the Tua Alliance and plan to fight against the Lucanians after retaking Laos!" Arobmas said excitedly.
Sure enough! Davos secretly said in his heart, his expression still calm: "What kind of covenant?"
"As the Tua League signed with Castellon—" Arobmas recalled what Avinogis had taught him: "To form an alliance, the Tua League does not interfere in the internal affairs of the allies, but only controls... Diplomacy... Diplomatic Power and War... Leadership..."
Apparently, Avinogis had conducted a detailed investigation on the Tua Alliance and had come prepared, which showed that they valued this visit very much! After Davos grasped the situation, his expression was still dull, and he said, "I see, you go back to the hotel to rest first, and I can give you an answer after I discuss it with the elders of the Senate."
"I hope the consul can give me an answer as soon as possible!" Arobmas said anxiously.
"Why?" Davers pretended to be puzzled.
Arobmas was at a loss for words.
Asisters laughed aside: "It's because Niutum has elected a new leader, and he urged Avinogis to lead the tribe to move to Niutum City, right?"
Arobmas was dumbfounded: People in the Tua League know everything!
"Okay, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." At this time, Davos said with certainty.
After Arobmas left uneasy, Davos asked: "Assi, what do you think of the request of the Laos people?"
"My lord, just as we have analyzed before, Avinogis is forced to resist, but according to his current situation, if we make further requests, he will definitely agree. Give him something like Cass. A covenant like Tron's is too cheap for him!" Asisters said reluctantly.
Davos shook his head and said, "Although Avinogis can only rely on us after he rebelled against Lucania. But if our requirements are too harsh, it will also make Avinogis dissatisfied. The accident happened, it is very likely to cause his rebellion again! We are west of the mountains, we have no foundation, we must rely on the full help of Laos, and as long as Laos joins our alliance, then we have the west coast of the Apennine Peninsula. Establishing a foothold in the port will greatly promote the trade development of our alliance! Therefore, we should look farther and not care about those little interests!”
What Davos said made Asisters feel ashamed, nodded again and again, and then he heard Davos say: "Of course, I'm not not asking. My request is - Niutum!"
Rise again!
