Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Agnes was a little disapproving: Sister, you think too much, I think as long as Eunice really likes it, it's fine.

You, it's easy to say, when Ivia is an adult, it will be your turn to worry. Kristoya rolled her eyes, stretched her waist, and said, I'll go take a bath in the bathroom, take a good Take it easy. When the kids are back, it's dinner time. Do you want to go together? I've got a few other sets of underwear in other colors and shapes that you can try on just in time to see if they fit.

Okay. Agnes stood up.

Nowadays, taking a bath has become a daily habit of the Dionysians, but after all, the large hot spring bath is a little far away from the city of Turii, and it is impossible for the royal family to visit frequently, and it is not safe, so Davos directly let people in the house Bathrooms were built.

The two graceful middle-aged women walked out of the hall, talking and laughing.

……………………………………

As dusk came, in the Great Chamber of the Dionysian Senate, the meeting was over, and the elders walked out of the meeting in twos and threes.

Today, the Senate received the great army led by King Davos has successively won the Latium...Abenirum has applied to become the free city of Dionia... These good news, of course, are also mixed with Samoy The bad news that Naples urgently asked Dionysus for help when the Chennai army raided the Campania area, but this did not affect the mood of the elders, who walked down the steps laughing and talking.

The five rotating presidents of the Senate who were slowly walking behind were still discussing some issues.

His Majesty said in his letter, 'Now that the situation in Rome has stabilized, the expeditionary army is expanding its occupied territories and preparing to completely defeat the Romans.' He asked us to pre-empt the large-scale relocation of some of the Dionian people after the war. Do you have any suggestions for going to the Roman area and dispersing the surrendered Roman nobles in other cities to make detailed plans? Cornerus asked.

I noticed that what His Majesty wrote in the letter was to 'relocate the people of Dionia', instead of letting the reserve citizens and free people go to fill the newly occupied land as in the past. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to the Roman region and needs to Quickly integrate Rome into the kingdom! Lycias said in a deep voice.

According to the message from the messenger, the region where Rome is located is a fertile plain, the area of ​​which is much larger than our Sybari plain, and the Tiber is wider than the Krati, and its agriculture and livestock are quite prosperous, If we can completely own Rome, it will not only solve the worries of His Majesty caused by the previous drought, but also greatly enhance our national strength...

Antaoris thought about it and said, But that area doesn't border our existing territory,

There are many other forces and races around, and the Romans themselves are relatively strong. Maybe His Majesty considered these and asked to transfer a large number of Dionysian citizens to the past, so that they can quickly become the backbone of the stable Roman region. Strength, if it is a reserve citizen and a freedman, I am afraid that in that crisis-ridden area, it will not be able to firmly defend the interests of the kingdom.

Although I have not seen the scene of our soldiers fighting the Romans, these days, we have brought back nearly 2,000 dead citizens and more than 2,000 wounded from our region of Turii alone, officials from the city hall said. We have been assisting the Ministry of Military Affairs, and have been busy providing care to the families of the deceased and arranging the treatment of the wounded. I heard that the casualties in other areas are not small, so it can be seen that the Romans are indeed more fierce! Lycias said in a heavy tone.

You still remember that some time ago, His Majesty said that he would relocate citizens to Campania. At that time, it was decided to relocate some young citizens of Lucania. Hermon and I had already made the plan. Unfortunately, because of Carthage Key's participation in the war was forced to be suspended, and this time they were allowed to move to Rome. Vespas suggested on the side.

I said Weisba, don't just keep your eyes on the Lucania region. Sedorum said to Weisba and reminded: How many citizens can be moved out of the Lucania region? It may not reach 10,000 people, but Your Majesty wrote that apart from the Roman civilians who have already surrendered, the land of Rome alone can accommodate another 20,000 to 300,000 people, as well as Wei Ai, Ostia, Kesley What about pulling these towns! Moreover, His Majesty also said that the Roman nobles who will surrender in the future will be scattered and placed in other cities. Why don't we relocate some citizens of each city to Rome, and the vacant places will be just enough to accommodate these Romans. This is not a problem. Is it convenient?

What Lord Sedorum said is a good idea! Antaoris took over the conversation: However, considering that the Roman City Hall has just been established, the ability to handle government affairs is not strong, and the Romans have an adaptation to us. In the process of moving to Rome, we can move to Rome several times, each time moving a small number of citizens to avoid major confusion. In addition, the citizens who go to Rome cannot all be young, and there must be middle-aged and elderly citizens, so that the community can be formed. Solid. Also, Greek citizens should be in the majority among the citizens photographed in Rome—

Having said that, Antaoris saw that Vesba and Sedorum looked unhappy, and quickly explained: I don't mean to discriminate against other ethnic groups, I just did this to allow the civilians of Rome to integrate into the kingdom as soon as possible. …”

These suggestions from Antaoris are very reasonable, and we need to seriously consider them. Cornerus praised the young colleague, and then said solemnly: Everyone, this is our first time. A full citizen of a relocated kingdom, know that they are not pro-citizens and freedmen, they have all the rights given to them by the laws of the kingdom, they own their own land, they live well in the existing towns, how can they make them Going to Rome willingly? How to make them happy with their new place to live? . .

I don't think this is a problem. Antaoris said disapprovingly: What the citizens of the kingdom are most worried about is not leaving their hometown and settling in an unfamiliar place, but a life that is too peaceful, because it means they can't The opportunity to gain meritorious service through war and risk will increase their wealth and get a rapid promotion in status, and in Rome, they can be given many such opportunities. Before the war with Rome, there were so many officials who took risks Isn't that the reason to go with His Majesty! And now that ordinary citizens can get such an opportunity, I believe they will actively participate.

Antaoris' remarks caused the other three to nod again and again, and Cornerus coughed a little embarrassedly: Uh... Antaoris makes a lot of sense, but we need to implement it before we know the public. Therefore, we need to make more preparations in advance to reduce the resistance of the people, such as the detailed replacement of the land of the relocated citizens, the transportation of the citizens' property, the distribution of new houses and the disposal of old houses...

It seems that next time we need to call Burkes (Minister of Agriculture) and Rafias (Minister of Household Registration) to discuss this matter together, and then formulate a preliminary plan, and then submit it to His Majesty for review. Lucia S said.

I think we can let the town halls of the towns do publicity in advance, and promote the benefits of living in Rome-- Antaoris actively suggested, but just halfway through his words, Philisius' voice came from behind: Come on Lord Ernerus! Lord Lysias!  …”

Cornerus looked back, and the four elders of the military affairs department, Hiros, Philisius, Alpins, and Hieronymus, came to this side, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: What's the matter with you? ?

Philisius looked at Hiros.

The Minister of Military Affairs, Hiros, said: The five rotating chairmen, today at the meeting, the Senate unanimously rejected the unreasonable request of the Samone envoy to exchange 'Campania prisoners for their prisoners', which is in line with His Majesty's visit to GRU The promise made after the Mu incident, but ... it is not enough to refuse, we also need to rescue the Campania Confederation, which is being attacked by the Samone, after all, it is our ally.

The rescue of Naples should be the main issue to be discussed at the meeting tomorrow. Cornerus said with a frown, Now your Majesty is leading most of the army to attack Rome in the north, and we have a war with Carthage in the south. Alexis was stationed in the Apulia region to prevent the invasion of the Samonaids and the coveting of other forces. As far as I know, the various legions in the kingdom are already at war, and even the 7th legion is ready to go south to Sicily at any time. , His Majesty has repeatedly instructed, do not move lightly. Now that you are talking about this matter, I would like to ask you how you plan to rescue Campania?

Could it be that the Ninth or Tenth Legion is going to be recruited? Although Antaoris had a small dispute with Cornelus just now, he took Cornelus's words and continued to ask questions: From The distance from Aprilia to Campania is far, the transportation is difficult, and the pressure on the transportation of military rations will increase. Moreover, who knows if the cunning Samonais deliberately lure us to transfer the army from Aprilia, and then think Another raid on Downey! After all, our troops have to take a detour, but they can go straight through the mountains.

It's not Apulia's troops. Hiros said affirmatively: We hope that the Senate can pass a resolution to let the free city of Potentia immediately form an army to support the kingdom's war with the Samonais.

Portentia?! The five rotating chairmen were a little surprised, and it was no wonder that they did not expect that the Potentia region has remained stable for more than ten years and has close ties with the Lucania region. , trade, personnel exchanges, religious dissemination... everything is developing rapidly without hindrance, and the various celebrations and competitions in the kingdom, the Potentians are never absent, so not only the ordinary people of Dionia , including most of the elders, subconsciously, regarded Potentia as a part of the Lucania region, and forgot that it was actually just a free city in the kingdom.

At this time, the military training chief Hironimus said: According to the statistics of our Ministry of Military Affairs, if Potentia is fully recruited, an army of about 20,000 can be formed, so Potentia can at least be photographed. Ten thousand reinforcements.
