“Oh, which two are they?” Karios moved his body forward curiously.

“Article 1—” Cypros unhurriedly put a wooden sign on the table and said, “Anyone can apply for Dionysian citizenship, whether it is a foreigner or a captured enemy state. Citizens, even freed slaves, can become citizens of Dionia as long as they meet the requirements of the Act…”

Kanios breathed a sigh of relief, Elijah will also grant some freedmen city-state citizenship, but that’s all because The war, the shortage of soldiers and labor, and the fact that Dionysian citizenship is open all the time, it is really hard to imagine: “This… this… Does this make Dionysian citizenship less important? It can’t be enjoyed. So many alliance rights? And what kind of people can become alliance citizens? How can the order of the city-state be maintained?…”

“Dionia’s citizenship rights are very attractive!” Facing the many questions of Kanios, West Pros shook his head and said in a deep voice: “Let’s not talk about other rights, the mere right that every new citizen can get a ‘five-acre land’ is enough to make the free people go crazy. Not to mention, According to the merits of the civil service, new land can be allocated.”

“This… is this true?!” Kanios couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. For the citizens of Leah, the land has a great allure for them.

“Of course it’s true. Otherwise, in the decisive battle between Dionia and Crotone before, why did Dionia with a small force easily recruit 7,000 freemen without spending money, and the freemen were extremely brave He helped Dionysus defeat Crotone because of the allure of Dionysian citizenship.” Cypros looked around at the diners who were chatting enthusiastically, turned around and continued: “As for whether it will disrupt the order of the city-state. , There are at least 20,000 or 30,000 people in Dionia present at today’s ceremony, right?”

After Cypros’ reminder, Kanios immediately understood: “This is the first time I have seen so many people attend an alliance celebration or festival, and there are no major disturbances. I’m afraid it’s not just because there are There should

be a large number of patrolling soldiers there to maintain order.”

Cypros replied in a low voice: “Of course, this has a lot to do with the laws of the Dionysian Union on citizens and even freedmen slaves. There are not only patrols in city-states, but also courts. These courts not only try cases and disputes, but also record the names of those who violate the law. If they are free people, it will affect whether they can obtain citizenship on time; if Being a citizen will affect their access to land distribution… Therefore, for a better future, the vast majority of people living in Dionia will consciously abide by the laws here…”

“This is an excellent way! Over time, the Dionysians have naturally developed the habit of obeying the law. No wonder…” Kanios couldn’t help but praise: “This plan fundamentally solves the problems that Dionysians may cause due to the complex sources of the people. The order is chaotic,

I don’t know who proposed this…”

He saw a smile on Cypros’ face, and immediately woke up: “Could it be Davos again?”

Cypros nodded.

Kanios shrugged helplessly. He had nothing to say about Dionia’s consul.

“What is the second law?” Cypros’ familiarity with Dionia and his unique insights deepened Kanios’ deep understanding of Dionia, so he was eager to know more.

“Sub-states.” Cypros spit out two words, with a strange look in his eyes: “Dionia’s way of dealing with sub-states or occupations is very different from that of most Greek city-states.” “Yes

. What’s the difference?” Kanios asked anxiously again, attracted by Cypros’ words.

“Asproustum, do you know?”

“I heard that it used to be a town of the Brutians, and later became a sub-state of Crotone, and I heard that it has now joined the Dionysian League. .”

“Take Aspurustum for example. What did the Crotones do when they occupied it? Kill all the Brutians in the city and relocate the landless citizens of Crotone. In Asproustum, the same system as Crotone will be practiced in this town.” Cyprous pierced a piece of tripe, threw it into his mouth, and said with a mocking smile: ” The residents of Asprustum are Crotone citizens, and the government is the government of Crotone. It stands to reason that Asprustum has completely become a part of Crotone, but why is it in these days? There have been two riots in Asprostum in ten years, demanding to break away from Crotone?”

“Two riots in Asprostum?” Kanios was slightly surprised. In my impression, Asprostum is a town in Crotone.

“Yes, twice.” Cypros stretched out two fingers and said slowly: “Because Crotone quickly quelled the riot and deliberately blocked the news, you Elia are far north, I don’t know it’s normal… …While it was true that initially Aspurustum was fully attached to Crotone, 20 years later, the situation has changed. According to Crotone law, only Ass whose father is a Crotone citizen Only Proustum men could become Crotone citizens, and over time, some Gentiles came to Aspreustum, married women from the city, and gave birth to children who could not become Crotones Citizens of the city can only be citizens of Aspurustum. There are also people who were born in this small town and grew up here, and their affection for Aspurustum exceeds that of Crotone rather than that of Crotone. I

am willing to apply to become a citizen of Crotone…

In this way, there are more and more real citizens of Asproustum in this small town, exceeding the citizens of Crotone, so they maintain that they belong only to Aspurs The willingness of Proustum’s interests naturally outweighs the interests of Crotone, and for Crotones, as the blood ties are getting farther and farther away, they treat Aspreustum more and more Treat your slaves more like your own people. When there is a war, let the Asporus rush to the front; when there is a land dispute, favor the Crotones… In this way, Asporus The resentment of the people of Toum towards Crotone is getting deeper and deeper, how can they not ask for independence?!”

Kanios heard this, nodded and took a swig of beer.

“The measures Crotone took to Asprostum after the riots were – to kill the people who resolutely resisted Crotone, then relocate a large number of Crotone citizens to this small town, and at the same time support closeness to Crotone The Asprostum people of Thone, and let the citizens of Crotone hold the supreme power of Asprustum. But after more than ten years, Asprustum rioted again, The situation is the same as last time… As far as I know, the Greek city-states generally deal with their colonies and occupations in this way. Asproustum is very close to Crotone, while Croto Nei is a powerful city-state in Greater Greece, and it has enough power to control the small town of Aspurustum, and such things still happen. Those sub-states are far away from the mother state, or the mother state is not strong. Yes, it is not uncommon to be unable to unite with the sub-state to enhance one’s own strength. This is not bad. What is even more terrifying is that the mother-state has become an enemy with the sub-state. There are many such examples! … “…” Cypros sighed.

His words reminded Kanios of Elijah’s home state. Elijah once sent messengers to ask for help from the mother state. The mother state turned a blind eye to Elia’s plight and refused to provide any help. The two sides had formed a stranger.

Kanios was slightly sentimental: “You’re right!” He raised the jug and invited Cypros to drink.

Wiping the foam off his mouth, he asked interestedly, “How did Dionys treat the occupied territories?”

Cypros picked up another wooden sign and placed it on the wooden table, and said slowly, “Dionysus treats the occupied territories.

One of the first laws to be enforced after the occupation of Aspurustum was to declare, ‘All Aspurustums willing to stay will become citizens of Dionia.'”

“Huh?! ‘ Kanios looked surprised.

“Although there are very few Aspirus people who choose to stay, I think they made a correct choice.” After emphasizing one sentence, Cyprost continued: “Dionia quickly implemented The second bill is that the Dionysian Senate will assign public officials to Aspurustum to govern, and the top management of the city is the city administrator, who must be the elders of the Senate. The city governor of Aspurustum is… Hiros of the Dionysian Senate, a senator who is closely related to Davos.

You see, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com The inhabitants of Aspurustum are now Dionian citizens, and Dionian law states, ‘As soon as either parent is Dionian, the child will be Dionian at birth Nia.

Plus the rulers of Asporustum were directly appointed by the Senate, and any Dionian citizen could apply for city-state office, having a wealth of experience while still performing well after serving in public office for a considerable number of years. can become the senator of the Dionysian Senate.

‘”

Cypros said with a slightly excited expression: “In this way, the residents living in Asprostum are not likely to betray the Dionysian Alliance now or in the future, because They enjoy the same rights as the citizens of Dionia in other cities of the Union.

Asproustum was already a part of the Dionysian Alliance, and the Senate of the alliance sent people to directly manage it. Whether it was paying taxes or serving in the military, it directly enhanced the strength of the alliance.

Therefore, when Dionia was weaker than Crotone before, it was able to summon the same number of soldiers and resources as Crotone because its political system could better concentrate all the power of the city under its jurisdiction!

And Crotone doesn’t even fully support Aspirus, let alone its ally Siritin and our Trina.

This is probably the most feared aspect of the Dionysian Alliance. Every time it acquires a piece of land, it strengthens the power of the alliance!
