Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 108

[Chapter 7 Proposal]

Davos ignored him and continued: “For the new citizens who defeated the Lucanian tribal coalition, recaptured the city of Amendolara, and joined Amendolara today, the land they now own is tax-free! A batch of ‘Amendolara Newborn Silver Buckles’ will be cast, one for each new citizen, which will be kept forever, and can also be worn on Bolton in grand public occasions to let future generations know their achievements!”

“This Almost!” Matonis sat down with satisfaction.

Now, the new citizens have their chests straight, too.

Davos gave honor to both parties, and both parties accepted it with satisfaction, making the venue calm again.

Cornelus looked at it and had to admit that Davos’s political skills were powerful.

“Everyone doesn’t pay taxes, what’s the use of this bill?!” Mercis was dissatisfied.

“You still don’t understand, Treasurer.” Cornelus smiled: “All current citizens do not have to pay land tax, and future citizens of Amendolara will have to pay taxes when they own land.”

“Please .

Note that your existing land does not need to pay tax, and the land you own in the future will still have to be paid!” Davers reminded.

“If that’s the case, then I can accept it.” Antonios stood up and said, “Amendolara was founded by Cornelius and their ancestors, and they have suffered too much for this, and we should respect it. And We sacrificed our blood and sweat for Amendolara, and we deserve something. Citizens who join in the future enjoy what we all have done for this city-state, and of course they have to do something for Amendolara, Paying taxes—I think it’s a good idea!”

“Antonios, that’s right! We agree!” the new citizens agreed.

“Yes, we are the founders of this new Amendolara! To let future generations know what we do today, these untaxed lands and silver buckles are the best proof and glory!” Protesilao Sz shouted excitedly, and other old citizens did not object.

………………

After the meeting, the

new citizens went to the square one after another, while the old citizens walked on the rugged mountain road.

“Cornerus, you are too indulgent to that young man tonight! You don’t refute every bill he proposes, and watch him easily persuade those uninformed mercenaries!” Stromboli complain loudly.

“Hey, Stromboli, don’t shout loudly from young people, young people, Davos is our consul, we should respect it!” Raphias looked behind, not too far from the new citizens, So reminded.

“Consul? I think it’s the king. Which thing did he propose with our consent! Which proposal was discussed with the senators in advance! He also made so many mindless, I only know that the mercenaries who obeyed her participated in this meeting, obviously to let him have the final say! Then what do we have to do! Do you want to be puppets?!…” Stromboli was a little angry of talking nonstop.

Scambloss couldn’t help interrupting him: “Since you have an opinion about the consul, why didn’t you say it at the meeting?”

Stromboli was speechless for a while, and his eyes rolled: “You don’t object, why? I’m not stupid if I oppose it alone! Oh…I know. Cornelus became the chief executive, and Raphias is now the household registration officer, and he is already a big man! This is the consul Your lord

‘s gift, you are embarrassed to oppose him, are you?”

Scommburas rushed to him, glared at him and said, “Shut up, Stromboli! Cornerus did his best. You can’t say that about him! And…even though the soldiers were rude and beat me up. But honestly, these bills from this young consul are very interesting, especially the one I’m a little surprised about the tax bill, but Amendolara hasn’t changed in over a hundred years…”

“Uncle Scoom is right! We Amendolara have suffered such hardships and can no longer live as before! Whether it is the appointment of Davos as the life-long consul, or his proposals, as long as they can Let Amendolara prosper and no longer be bullied, even if the tradition of Amendolara is changed, I will accept it!” Terry Todemus said solemnly, and several of them nodded secretly.

“Not only will we not be bullied, we will also attack Lucania, defeat them, and avenge us!” Protesilus, the youngest of the six, said excitedly.

“Lucania has a large population, a vast area, and most of them are mountainous areas. It’s not that easy to attack them. That young consul is just talking big.” Stromboli said suspiciously.

“Davos led a small number of mercenaries to annihilate the large number of Lucalia coalition forces, this is a fact! It is also a fact that Amendolara was recaptured in one night! Who are so many generals and citizens in the great Greek city-state? Can do both of these things, tell me?” Protessilaus retorted.

Stromboli hummed and didn’t answer.

“Have you noticed the look in the eyes of those new citizens looking at Davos? It looks like they are staring at a god!” Protesilus said exaggeratedly.

“I heard that they call Davos the favored one, maybe he can really create miracles.” Terry Todmos said with some anticipation: “I heard that we are northwest of Amendolara and upstream of the Sinne River. There is a great and beautiful lake, which the Lucanians call Dokala (today’s Lake Senise), and it seems that I will not only be able to see it, but maybe even get a piece of land there.”

Strombo Li snorted again, but his expression lost a bit of anger.

“After all, fighting is killing people. It is better not to fight or not to fight.” Cornerus sighed.

“Anyway, we don’t have to play. I think those mercenaries are very enthusiastic about it.” Raphias looked indifferent.

“That’s also a citizen of our Amendolara.” Cornelus reminded him, he paused, and sighed again: “However, we all underestimated Davos. Don’t look at his young age, but right The city-state politics is very familiar, is he really ‘given by Hades’ as rumored by the new citizens?”

His sigh was not refuted by the other five people, obviously everyone was surprised by this.

“However, Davers’s actual ability to govern requires us to observe further. How much influence and change the bills he proposed will have on Amendolara, we don’t know yet. What we can do It is to try my best to ensure the stability of Amendolara, find problems, and remind Davos in time, at least from the current point of view, Davos is not the same as Dionysius of Syracuse.” Cornelu Si solemnly remind everyone.

The other four nodded, and Stromboli asked in a deep voice: “What if Davos made a mess of Amendolara and didn’t listen to dissuasion and made a mess?!”

“If it really is That way…” Cornelus didn’t know how to answer for a while.

“Then drive them away!” Skombras said decisively: “For the sake of Amendolara, even if we cooperate with Turiyi again!” The

others faced each other and nodded silently.

……………………

Davos returned to the square, it was very late.

He returned to his big tent, where the candles were still bright, and Cristoia, who had been waiting for his return, had fallen asleep on the paved floor.

Davos walked gently to the floor and squatted down in front of Cristoia, the beating candlelight reflected her beautiful and sexy face, her breathing was light and long, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth…

Must be dreaming!

Davos stared silently, not feeling a little crazy.

I came to this strange world alone, and lived desperately to survive. Although there were a group of comrades who could be entrusted with life and death, the lonely wandering soul had a port for mooring because of her.

He couldn’t help reaching out and gently stroked Cristoia’s long soft hair, but he didn’t want her to wake up immediately, rubbing his misty eyes, and said lazily, “You’re back.”

Davos shook his hand .

He held her hands, put them together, and said softly, “Cristoia of Miletus, are you willing to be my wife of Davos?”

Cristoia’s eyes suddenly brightened, her beautiful face Glittering in candlelight.

Following Davers around, one of the things she had been most worried about no longer existed at this moment. She hugged Davers tightly, and whispered the oath entrusted to her life: “I do!”

… …………

After the passionate lingering, Cristoia lay on Davos, listening to him talk about what happened at the venue at night, drowsiness gradually came to my heart…

At this time, Davos said: ” Cristoia, I’m hesitant to ask you to do something.”

“What?” Cristoia asked curiously.

“Have you ever heard of a bank?” “Have you heard of

it? Isn’t UU reading www.sonicmtl.com just lending money. My father also ran this business in Miletus, and I heard him say that he admired the Athenian banker Pablo the most. Sion, because not only did he become the richest man in Athens by lending money, but he also earned the respect of the citizens of Athens…” Cristoia recalled the past and was inexplicably sad.

“Very good! I want you to open a bank in Amendolara, specializing in lending to Amendolara citizens.” Davos said immediately.

“Open a bank?! Me?!” Kristoa was stunned.

“Yes, it’s you!” Davers raised his head and looked at her with confidence in his eyes: “You can manage the medical camp so well, and I believe you can also manage this bank!

” He stopped, thought for a while, and reminded: “That needs to have enough silver coins.”
