Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Among the officials who were criticized for their ineffective work, the officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs accounted for the majority (the military judges in the army were also appointed by the Ministry of Supervision). , planning, allocation, transportation, this is indeed a arduous job, the military affairs department is the first experience, especially the lack of experience of the officials in the quarters department, lack of manpower, resulting in a lot of mistakes. Sesta emphasized this point, hoping that the Ministry of Military Affairs could learn lessons and improve work efficiency.

The officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs such as Hiros and Philisius were calm. In fact, around October last year, they had already realized this problem and took the initiative to cooperate with Mersis, and the Ministry of Finance dispatched personnel to assist the management of the Ministry of Military Affairs. And the deployment of materials, the situation is much better.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Ancitanos, Minister of Education Montotic Els, Minister of Health Helps... They all came on stage to make a summary. The last one to play was not the minister, but Hatis of the Kingdom of Dionia. Temple Staff Priest Plessinas.

In fact, when the Kingdom Assembly was first implemented, Davos had hesitant about whether to let Plessinas participate in this assembly, after all, when the concept of Davos is a descendant of Hades had penetrated into the Kingdom After the hearts of the people, Hades has actually become the exclusive god of the Dionysian royal family, and Hades has become the most important god of the kingdom's people's beliefs, and the kingdom meeting is mainly to discuss the administrative affairs of the kingdom, let as the most important god. The human servant of the Dionysian Kingdom's protector was supervised and censured by the delegates at the conference, which was both offensive to the gods and disrespect to the royal family.

But Davos considers: In any era, religion is a double-edged sword. If there is no restriction, it is likely to override the secular over time, which in turn threatens the kingship. Moreover, the priests belonging to the Temple of Hades are not only dedicated to the protector of the kingdom, they also have a duty to supervise and regulate the sacrifices of other temples in the kingdom and the behavior of their priests, which naturally includes a large number of administrative affairs.

After much deliberation, Davos finally decided to let Plessinas participate in the Kingdom Assembly at the beginning of each year and become the important minister of the Kingdom who made the final conclusion on the first day of the opening.

In fact, since Plessinas spoke at the conference, there have been a lot of questions to him, of course not about the Temple of Hades itself, but about other temples.

The Kingdom of Dionia has been a country that believes in many gods since its establishment. Not only the Greek gods have sacrifices among the people, but also the gods believed in by other races. It is not easy to balance their interests. thing. However, the opinions of the representatives also promoted the gradual improvement of the kingdom's management of religion, and killed the bad signs in the cradle as early as possible.

After Plessinas' speech this time, there were also a lot of questioners. Even Publius raised his second question at this conference. Of course, his question was naturally about the Roman Can the temple of the gods be treated fairly and continue to worship in the kingdom... and so on.

Plessinas answered seriously.

Although not very satisfied, Publius was relieved a lot.

At this point in the meeting, according to past practice, today's agenda is over. But this time the Kingdom Conference was different. Due to the war, the entire conference schedule should be shortened as much as possible to avoid accidents. You must know that in order not to affect the war, for the stability of the kingdom, and because of the busy government affairs, the chief executives of some important towns on the front line did not even come here, but only sent representatives, such as Rome, Catane, Lucerina and more.

But it was already the afternoon, and the delegates sat for most of the day, so Cornelus announced that the meeting would be temporarily suspended for half an hour, and the meeting would resume after eating a simple dinner provided by the Senate. What follows is an introduction to the governance of each newly occupied territory.

It's finally Tibrus' turn! What a long meeting! ...Publius sighed lightly, and this format of the meeting really opened his eyes: just from the summary of the series of ministers of the Kingdom of Dionia just now, it can be seen that the Dionian people How meticulous and rigorous the governance of his country is, perhaps this is what is necessary to manage such a vast kingdom well.

Publius thought to himself, and his stomach began to growl. He listened so carefully that he didn't realize that he was already so hungry that his chest was on his back.

It was the first time for him and Tibrus to participate in the conference. Unlike many of the representatives who participated in the conference, they were very experienced and had a full breakfast. Just when he was considering whether to follow the other delegates out of the venue, Antaoris suddenly asked, Lord Publius, after hearing these summaries, how do you feel?

Publius replied without hesitation: I feel that it is not easy to be a good elder or an official in Dionia! The pressure is too great!

This is indeed what he felt.

On this night, the Candles were brightly lit in the Great Hall of Turii, and the fighting continued. Many households in the Turii territory also lit candles and swept away the desertedness of the past. One after another, the sound of frolic broke the tranquility of the night.

The first day of the new year is not any celebration day for the Dionians, but according to the habits of the previous life, Davos will always hold a family banquet on this day to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. As a result, this habit spread in Turiyi, and the people scrambled to emulate it.

Naturally, it was even more lively in the Davos mansion on King's Hill at this time. Not only were the lights brightly lit everywhere, but also the open space in the courtyard was filled with dining tables. The palace guards and servants who were on duty for the royal family sat in the backyard and the frontyard.

In the hall, there was a large table, and Davos' two wives, four children, Ribazzo, the chief official of the court, and Molina, the slave chief in the front and rear yard, sat together.

Davos was not at home, Agnes didn't like to socialize, so a banquet like this was naturally hosted by Cristoia. Usually, the princess was always strict and decisive in managing the affairs of the house, always frosty, and rarely showed the softness of women. , but today with a smile on her face, she went to the front and back yards to toast the guards and the servants one after another, thanking them for their contributions to the royal family in the past year, and wishing them good luck in the new year.

In the sound of gratitude and blessings, Cristoia returned to the hall and sat in the main seat. Before she could speak, she heard Briantes say: Mother, when will father come back? I miss him. !

I miss Dad very much too! Immediately afterwards, Ivia whispered.

Although Eunice and Apox did not speak, their longing was beyond words.

It can be said that this time the New Year's banquet is because Davos, Clotokatax, and Adoris are still fighting far away. Cynthia has just given birth to a child and is still nursing at her own home. At one time, it was inevitable that it would seem a little deserted.

Although Davers did not spend much time with the children due to his busy government affairs these years, Cristoia was strict with children, Agnes was gentle, but not enthusiastic enough, only Davers could spare no time. Time to get along with the children, he was always able to mingle with the children and let them have a good time, and now that Davers has been away from them for a year, how can they not miss it for such a long time.

Cristoia was soured by them, and after a while of silence, she comforted her in a soft tone: Children, didn't you all read your father's letter yesterday, he and your two brothers are safe now It's okay, and we have a big victory in Sicily, and the war will be over soon! So now let's raise our glasses and wish your father and brothers a safe and early return, okay?

Okay!! The four children responded in unison.

So, under the leadership of Cristoia, everyone silently prayed to Hades for blessing.

Okay, let's toast and celebrate the new year!

As soon as Cristoia finished speaking, several children excitedly picked up the wine mixed with water, especially when Briantes raised the wooden cup high.

As soon as he put down the wine glass, he heard Agnes whispering: I don't know how Cloto is doing in Rome? He has never lived alone for so long?!

Cristoia was stunned for a moment, then glared at her in dissatisfaction, thinking: What's the matter with you, Agnes! I just comforted these little ones, and you said something without looking at the occasion, how can the happy atmosphere of this banquet be maintained!

……………………………………

The family misses Clotocatax, and Clotocatax, who is far away in Rome, is not in the mood to miss his parents and siblings on this special night, because he is getting ready for dinner, his immediate boss ——Pacion, the Roman builder, came to the door himself and asked him for help.

Lord Pacion, are you saying that there is a problem with the stone bridge we built?! After hearing Pacion's words, Clotokatax was startled.

Because the inspection will be carried out tomorrow, so today I asked the engineers to check it thoroughly and carefully. As a result, they found that the second pier was deflected, so they immediately notified me. According to their analysis, it may be because of the river bed there. It was too soft, and the foundation of our bridge piers was not laid firmly enough. This is all because the city hall pressed too hard. We did not conduct a more careful survey of the riverbed and make a better construction plan. It has to be completed as soon as possible to cause such a result! Pasion said regretfully.
