Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1089

[Chapter 38 Rotating Chairman Cypros]

In the residence of another rotating chairman, when Cypros saw that it was Hiktas who came to visit, he was a little surprised and asked with a smile: “Why, you are also here to elect the regional chief executive?”

Sigg Tas shrugged helplessly: “Lord Rotating Chairman, since His Majesty announced this in the afternoon, the Senate has been like boiling water, and it has not stopped arguing when the meeting is over. When I came here just now, I saw several streets full of It’s full of carriages… Everyone is asking for help for the election of the district chief executive, how could I stand by and watch.”

“But you haven’t even become a town chief executive yet, so the position of district chief executive is right. It’s too early for you.” The reason Cypros said so directly is because after Syracuse was conquered, as the wartime governor of Sicily, he was able to stabilize the former Sicily in a relatively short period of time. The order of the largest city-state, Hiktas contributed a lot.

During the period when the chief executive of Syracuse was not yet determined and he was temporarily governing, he also received strong assistance from Hiktas, so the two sides established a good working relationship.

Later, Hiktas was transferred to Turii to serve, and he was taken care of by Cypros many times, and the two became friends one after another.

“Of course not for me, but for Syracuse.” Hiktas said seriously: “You also know that since Lord Adriankes served as the chief executive of Syracuse, in the past few years he has made tin Lacuza manages very well. My relatives and friends in Syracuse have praised him many times in their letters. I am thinking that now the development of Syracuse is just on the right track, rather than electing a Syracuse citizen An unfamiliar and unfamiliar elder who does not know the situation in the Syracuse area will serve as the chief executive of the area. It is better to choose Lord Adriankes. He should make the development of this area better, so I came to visit you specially, I want to get your support.”

“Hiktas, I have told you a few times, you are the elder of the kingdom of Dionia now, don’t just stare at Syracuse, only for the benefit of Syracuse When you speak, you have to look wider and pay attention to other towns, so as to gain the approval of His Majesty and other elders!” Cypnos reminded with a serious expression.

“I’ve listened to what you said, and I’ve been slowly changing, this is a few days ago about ‘whether to accept the Frentani’s request, form an alliance with them, send the navy to help them patrol the coast, drive out pirates ‘ proposal, I also have a speech… But Syracuse is my foundation, if I don’t speak for its interests, the people in my hometown will scold me!” Hiktas said earnestly.

Cypros had pointed it out, and seeing that he understood, he directly replied to the selection question he mentioned: “I don’t need you to worry about whether Adriankes can become the chief executive of the Syracuse region. One of Dionia’s fathers, he is older than me, and his connections are deeper than mine. Not to mention other things, those veterans in the army will definitely support him with all their strength. The key question now is whether he is willing to become a tin. Chief Executive of Lacuza Region, it is better to convince him than to convince me.”

Seeing that Hiktas wanted to speak, Cypros waved his hand and said: “You don’t have to worry, after the meeting, His Majesty joined five of us. The

rotating chairman discussed it, and for the

sake of fairness, decided to postpone the final election to 10 days later, so that the elders who served as chief executives in various towns can come back in time to participate in this important meeting.”

“Then I can rest assured .

Yes.” Hiktas breathed a sigh of relief.

“It is better to care about yourself first than to care about others. After the addition of district administrators this time, the position of the kingdom’s town administrators will be open to middle-level officials in the kingdom, and the competition for the position of town administrators will become very fierce. You are now Or the town administrative adjutant?” Cypros asked with concern.

“Administrative adjutant of Amendolara.” When he mentioned his position, Hiktas complained with a face: “The place in Amendolara, regardless of the size of the town, has quite a lot of things, the most important thing is… …Most citizens there just broke into the city hall at every turn, wanting to report the problem to us, the pavement slabs in front of their houses are cracked…the canals between their fields are caved in…wait, it’s all a few Little things that don’t matter, you can’t punish them for their rudeness, and try to help them solve their problems because they all have that little disc on Bolton—”

“Dionysian Alliance Builders Medal.” Cypros nodded, expressing his understanding: “Old citizens of Amendolara have a special status in the kingdom, and even if I arrive in Amendolara, the situation is better than yours. Not much, but after three years of special training in Amendolara, I believe that you are not only familiar with the laws of the kingdom, but also able to handle various government affairs of the town proficiently. After the election of the district chief this time, the town chief There will be many vacancies in your position, you have to seize this opportunity and seek the post of a town administrator as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to your future development in the kingdom’s political arena!”

Cypros’s reassuring words moved Hiktas as a move. , he said earnestly: “Thank you for your reminder! I will definitely work hard for promotion, and I hope you can give me more support!”

Cypros did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: “Of course I will do it for you. Speak, but in the end, the appointment of the town administrator has to be decided by His Majesty, but you have performed well in Amendolara, I believe it is not a problem to be the town administrator.”

“That’s great!” Sigg Tas looked excited.

“Oh, how is your nephew Samoratis now?” Cypros asked.

“He is still the same as before. He has no interest in becoming a government official in the kingdom. He just wants to be an officer. Now he is also a firefighter in Amendolara, and his main energy is on military training.”

“Everyone His ambition is different, he can become a legionnaire, and if he can be promoted to legion commander in the future, he will also have the opportunity to enter the Senate, which is also a good way…” Cypros said with a smile.

“But as soon as the war happens, who knows what will happen… alas…” Hiktas sighed.

“Okay, it’s getting late, you can go back quickly, staying with me for too long will not affect you and me very well.” At this time, Cypros said softly.

Without hesitation, Hiktas stood up, bowed respectfully to Cypros, and turned to leave the mansion.

……………………………………

That night, not only did the high-ranking officials of the kingdom come and go frequently in the city of Turii, but most of the ordinary people gathered in the restaurants and pubs to discuss the resolutions promulgated in the Senate today.

And after that night, when the news gradually spread throughout the country, this phenomenon also appeared in various towns.

The Minister of Inspector was worried about this, and asked Davos for instructions: “Your Majesty, do you want to temporarily issue a curfew order? To prevent accidents!”

After thinking about it, Davos did not agree, he only said slowly: “No, no, Believe in the citizens of the kingdom.”

Although Davos made this statement, the inspection department did not dare to take it lightly, and urgently notified the town inspection offices to send additional personnel to patrol at night.

However, in the past few days, apart from the increase in the number of people drinking and making trouble at night, the increase in the number of fighting in the port, and the protests of the local council members in various towns against these resolutions, the entire kingdom is basically relatively stable.

As King Davos said, “Trust the Citizens of Dionysus!” whether it’s out of patriotism, a sense of duty, or fear of actually being sent to the frontier, or because the 6% tax is a boon to abundance It’s really not worth mentioning to them…and Davos had the intelligence agencies do a planned, step-by-step pre-propaganda across the country in advance, allowing citizens to unknowingly reduce their aversion to tax increases, I’m even glad that I don’t collect too much tax.

In short, the citizens of the kingdom have calmly accepted the new taxation bill.

Citizens did not rise to protest, and those registered freedmen and prospective citizens dare not come out to make trouble at this time, otherwise once they have a criminal record, according to the new immigration law, it will be very difficult to become a full citizen.

The real dissatisfaction is the freedmen who want to join the kingdom of Dionia but have not yet registered, but they are not enough to cause much trouble to the kingdom, and the new immigration law has not been completely cut off, they become Dai. The path of the citizens of Onia is only more difficult. Once they gradually recover their senses from disappointment, anger, alcoholism, and noise, and after accepting the reality, they have to make a choice: whether to join the new Formed a border army to strive to become a citizen of Dionia as soon as possible?

Or will it be safe to continue living in the kingdom and qualify as a citizen after a longer wait?

Or too old to meet the recruitment requirements, but could also venture to settle in southern Iberia?

Davos hosted a banquet at the palace to entertain Plato and his proud disciple Spicypus, and invited Ancitanos, the foreign minister and historian, the dean of the Faculty of Letters of the Dionysian Academy, who was also a former member of Plato. accompany Lysias, an old Athenian acquaintance.

“I didn’t hear your keynote speech at the conference this time, which not only makes me feel very sorry, but also makes our entire conference pale!” Davos said to Plato with a look of regret.
