"Hehe, that's because he didn't have enough fun himself!" Davos said, and his interest came: "Do you want to play?"
"Of course I do!!..." The youths of Lucania rushed to answer.
"That's good! I'm going to be the quarterback. Who of you is willing to form a team with me to challenge the winner of their game?" Davers said loudly.
"I do!" Xima shouted hastily.
Ulaza also stood up immediately... Soon a team of fifty-five people was formed. Except for Davos and the captain of the guard, Martius, who were Greeks, the rest were all young people from the Lucalia tribe. Davos led them to the arena, and more Lucanians followed. The guards did not stop them because they had been told by Davos before. Five people are in the middle.
Sesta hurriedly grabbed Caps, hoping that he would command the soldiers of the first brigade to maintain order in the arena.
The family members of the fourth brigade were arranged to enter the city, while the Turii elders walked slowly to the arena.
"Weisba, you really became the senator of the Diorian Alliance as your son said?!" Hermon looked at Weisba among the senators in admiration. He was wearing the same clothes as the other senators. There was an air of a big man in his gestures.
This kind of envious gaze greatly satisfied Vespa's vanity. It was not only Hermon's performance, but many former acquaintances also looked at him differently from the past. It was a mixture of surprise, fear and respect. , which made Vespar feel like he was returning home, and this invigorating feeling drowned out his guilt for turning to the "enemy".
"Of course it's true!" Vespa replied affirmatively, following the example of other elders, shaking Bolton's robe sleeves, revealing the purple sleeves that symbolize the elders of the Senate: "Just now, the consul didn't say that Is it, 'the alliance is of the Greeks and also of the Lucarians', so it is normal for the Lucanians to enter the Senate of the alliance and become the elders!"
"Master Davos is really friendly to us Lucanians, and being able to get the approval of those young people so quickly shows that he is sincere and has no prejudice against Lucanians! But—" Hermon turned to those in front of him. Elder Turiyi pointed secretly and whispered, "Their attitude seems to be worse."
"There is no way! They are either Turians or Amendolaras, they have all suffered from our Lucanians, and it is impossible for them to change their attitudes in a short period of time. Lord Davos said , 'It takes time to slowly change them'. Fortunately, the alliance is mainly the consuls who call the shots!" Vespa also whispered frankly.
"What do you do as an elder of the Senate?" Hermon asked curiously.
"Proposing proposals, passing bills, discussing major events in the alliance, and assisting the consul to come up with solutions..." Vespa said with a little self-satisfaction: "Sometimes I am also responsible for some specific affairs, such as I am now in charge of As for the affairs of the citizens of Lucania and the region of Lucania, as long as there is a question about Lucania, the Senate will seek my opinion first, and I can also make my own suggestions and plans for safeguarding the interests of Lucania. , like... um... um... like a 5% tax on Lucanian citizens in Niutum is my suggestion, originally Greek prospective citizens in the union would be charged 100% for renting land Ten..." This was obviously Vespa's boasting that he had not yet entered the Senate when this proposal was passed.
"Oh! You have done a great deed for us!" Hermon looked at him with admiration, which made Weisba even more complacent. Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten his main mission in Niutum: "It's just Lu The Kanians are only me and Bagul in the Senate. Bagul may be in Neutum in the future. My strength alone is too weak to argue with so many Greek senators. Citizens of Nia win more! Alas..."
"Then... other Lucanias can also become... become the elders of the Senate?! This will also help you and obtain more benefits for us Lucania!" Hmon asked eagerly.
Vespa laughed inwardly: Some other Lucanian, isn't it just you! Pretend what, it's not that I don't know what kind of person you are, Hermon!
He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, as long as he can make a big contribution to the alliance, such as allowing more Lucaria tribes to join the alliance, get more support from Lucania, and be able to make a great contribution to the alliance in Lukaria. Some difficult tasks to be done in the Kanja area... wait, make the senate feel that he can play a bigger role in Lucania's affairs, then being a senator is an easy task..."
Hermon listened attentively, with a scorching light flashing in his eyes...
…
In the evening, Davos and the elders listened to Sesta's report at the chief executive's mansion.
"As of today, there are 2,503 reserve citizens registered in Niutum, of whom 2,201 are Lucarians and 302 are Greeks. On these days There were six hundred and twenty-seven mixed marriages between Greeks and Lucanians. We have allocated seven hundred and eighty-five cows and five thousand four hundred sheep, leaving two hundred and three cows and two The thousand sheep are ready to be allocated to the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade." Asisters said this, Bagul immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Now that the small tribes, captives, and slaves of Niutum have all become reserve citizens of the Alliance, if the fourth brigade settles here, then Niutum has a total of 3,455 citizens including reserve citizens. "..." As soon as Asisters finished speaking, Davos said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the Fourth Brigade will settle in Niutum and become the backbone of stability and defense of Niutum! "
"This is exactly what the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade hoped! As citizens of the alliance, we will definitely control Niutum firmly in the alliance!" Bagul said solemnly.
The elders nodded, satisfied with the answer.
"Lord Sesta, Bagule and Asisters, you can stabilize the situation in Niutum in such a short period of time and achieve so much. On behalf of the Senate, I would like to express my congratulations on your excellent performance With sincere respect!" Said, Davos took the lead in applauding with the elders.
In the applause, the three of them all seemed a little excited: Sesta was excited because he used his performance to prove to Davos that his talent was no worse than those of the leaders of the expedition to Persia, thus attracting the attention of the consul; Excited because his performance with his Lucanians was recognized by these Greek elders and thus easier to integrate into the alliance; Asistes was excited because he proved to Davos that he had the ability to serve independently , maybe Davos will give him a more important task next time.
"In addition, I heard from Bagul that the leaders of the small tribes such as Hermon, Kesima, and Ulaza are going to send people to the mountains to persuade the tribes who had fled into the mountains to come down and join the alliance, and there are still Laos people coming these two days. Niutum asked to join the alliance." Asistes added.
"Our cattle and sheep have been divided, what should we do?" Scomblas asked hurriedly.
"These tribes have livestock, we just need to allocate land to them, and we have enough land," Bagul replied.
"Even if the 'fertile soil between the mountains' has been divided in the future, it can still be divided into Turii. Now that the land in Turii has been handed over to the reserve citizens for renting, there are still many vacant land in the west (mainly Kosai). The high-lying land west of the Nee and Delos) was originally intended to be leased to freedmen who were registered to apply for pre-citizenship.” Davos reminded everyone.
Some elders nodded, while others hesitated.
"As for the matter of the Laos people, we have to put it on hold until Avinogis arrives and discuss it later." Davos said hesitantly.
"Will Avinogis come?" Mathisakus asked uncertainly.
"He must come!" exclaimed Protesilaus: "The Alliance helped him to take Laos, and he has not yet thanked us. Now that we have reached Niutum, and he has not come, can he be the leader of the Alliance? We can't go to Laos!"
"Maybe he doesn't know we're here yet." Sesta said a good word for Avinogis.
"Laos and Niutum have always been in contact. It is impossible for him to not get news from so many of us and such a large formation. By tomorrow we will know whether he will come or not. If he does not come, then we need to reconsider. How much sincerity is Laos for the alliance!" Davos understood that Sesta, as the chief executive of Neutum, would need Laos' help in the future, but as the consul, Davos needed to learn from a higher position to consider the overall situation.
Davos' words made the elders agree.
"Sesta, Bagul, after you have settled the people of Niutum, you must arrest the military training, and I will ask Felixius to send the instructors to come and train. You must disperse the youth of each tribe and try your best to do so. Mixed with Greek citizens, if there are not enough Greeks, also mixed with other tribes, must not let the warriors of each tribe gather together! Also... Rugby games can be held as many as possible, I think young people in Lucalia are all I love this game!"
"Yes, my lord. Kesima and the others have told me many times that a game of rugby is much more interesting than bullfighting, and we Lucanians like this kind of intense sport!" Baguler interjected.
"Then let them play, but it also has to be a mix of Greeks and Lucanians, and it will also help the Lucanians learn to speak Greek. Oh... Speaking of that, Bagul, you Find a way to make the Lucarians of Niutum learn to speak as much Greek as possible!"
"I'll try my best, my lord."
