Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 597

[Chapter 16 Debriefing of Asisters (2)]

Gentlemen, as far as I know, when the 3rd Legion first occupied Elona, the Campanias were afraid of the kingdom, and they did not want to face the threat of a stronger state against the Samonais , the Campania Alliance signed the alliance treaty with us with such a mentality in mind. I think they were psychologically resistant to us at that time, but after all these years, we… especially what Enona has made With the efforts of the Campanians, the fear of the Campanians is disappearing, but the love of the kingdom is increasing!

Many Campanians think of our kingdom of Dionia as a very wealthy, culturally rich, and friendly Greek kingdom where they can find work and earn money to support their families within the kingdom’s territory. It has not been exploited too much, so to date about 800 Campanias have officially become Dionian citizens in Enona, about 1400 Campanias have become reserve citizens, and There are about 3,000 Campanias who want to become Dionian citizens on the register, and the number is growing!

…”

After Asisters finished speaking, the elders applauded, this time obviously not out of etiquette, but an affirmation of his achievements in Enona over the past few years, and at the same time to obtain the same Italian presence for his kingdom. A powerful city-state alliance of the people of the city is proud of the recognition.

After the applause faded, Hermon stood up: “Lord Asistes, the town of Enona is very special, it is special in that it is not only related to Campania. People bordered, but also close to the Samone.

Have you taken the same measures to make Enona become the bridge between the Samonites and the kingdom?

”

Compared with the previous question, this question is even better to answer, and it is completely a question to give points, so Yasisters nodded tacitly to Hermon: “Thank you Lord Hermon for the question!”

It is true that Enona is also adjacent to the Samonites, mainly the Kautinis, one of the four major tribes of the Samonites.

However, unlike the Campania Alliance, Enona is not the only kingdom territory bordering the Samones. Kopsa and the free city of Potentia are both neighbors of the Samones. All three of us are working to improve and has been working hard on the relationship with the Samonaites.

After all, the Samonites are different from the Campanias, they are not Greeks, their customs are completely different from ours, and they have been enemies of the Campanias in the past, and they are obviously wary of our kingdom.

Although I have made various attempts to make it easier for the Samonaites to enter the city of Enona for business or work, few Samonais have entered the city of Enona in the past few years… However, three years ago, since I After the decision was made to establish the town of Baparia in the valley of Laconia (Nuceria), just north of Enona, next to Cautini, the town is now growing rapidly -”

said Asistes At this time, Davos suddenly said: “Laconia… Is the leader of this Cautini town Quinn Duke?

”

“Your Majesty, it was Quinduk, the leader of Kautini who was captured by you. He turned out to be the leader of the largest Kautini tribe in Laconia.”

“Asisters replied: “He treats us Dionia fairly friendly.

Davos nodded.

The

army that Samone had invaded Potentia was defeated, and several distinguished Samone leaders were captured, such as Quinn Duke, Gellney, and even the great leader of Pentene. Torek were all prisoners under the order. For some purpose, Davos treated them kindly, and even let them stay in Turii for a period of time, treating them as VIPs, and in the end they were also captured with other prisoners. Released back to Samone, it seems that it was not only Gellney, but Quinn Duke also changed his attitude towards

Dionia… Seeing that Davos was not speaking, Asisters continued: “We all know that The Samone people live in the mountains and mainly live by grazing, where food is scarce and not enough to support a large population, so for decades, mainly the Kautini people have been continuously attacking the Campania Confederation to Get more land.

And ten years ago, the Samones attacked Potentia in a big way, and they were finally defeated by His Majesty’s army and had to become our allies.

And in the town of Baparia, we built a market to sell grains and other foods to the Samonites, who could barter with us for anything, without having to use gold and silver coins, of course The ore, prey, and livestock they bring must be appraised first, and we try our best to be fair.

Over time, the Samonais who traded with us gradually abandoned their vigilance. In order to obtain more grains to bring back the tribe, many of their ethnic groups began to enter the town of Baparia and accept the employment of the citizens of the town. , felling trees, clearing wasteland, cultivating farmland… in exchange for a reward.

Today, at its busiest time in the town of Baparia, nearly 300 Samonais work in the town in a single day.

At the same time, they are also slowly accepting some of our customs and habits, such as playing rugby. Many Samone people like this sport with intense body collision, which is very suitable for fierce Samona warriors to play. I believe that after a while In

two years, there will be a Samonite team participating in the Rugby Finals in the Kingdom…”

At this time, Davos added: “This year, a Samonite team has been invited by Turiyi. Entry, it comes from Abenerum near Kopsa.

Yasis was stunned for a moment, then smiled: ”

Lord Kesima seems to be doing a better job than me in this regard.

”

One more person stood up in the group of elders: “Lord Asisters, I want to know how the belief of Hades spread in the Campania region?”

”

Asistes saw that the questioner was Plessinas. As the scepter priest of the Temple of Hades, Plessinas will of course understand the development of the temples in various cities. Asking this question at this time is actually still a bonus question. So while Asistus nodded to Plessinas, he glanced at Marigi in the corner of the venue.

He knew in his heart that Marigi was He is one of the few old Persian-born elders in the kingdom. He usually seems to be alone in the senate meeting place. In fact, he is a liaison between the former mercenary elders and other elders. Of course, behind him stands the king. Davos. So, in today’s questioning, three in a row focused on where he stood out most during his six years at Enona, apparently on instructions from Davos.

He suppressed his gratitude to King Davos and said as calmly as possible: “Although the Temple of Hades in Ainona is not under the jurisdiction of the City Hall, the City Hall is also trying its best to provide resources for the development of the Temple of Hades. Help, such as the sale of grains and medicines to the temple at a very low price each time, and even labor and doctors when the temple was understaffed. And to the Campanians and Samonais who entered Ainona, We have carried out a lot of guidance, so that they can go to the temple for help when they have difficulties…

Over the years, the Temple of Hades has helped countless hungry, nowhere to live, sick… outsiders with various difficulties , also let them return to their motherland with gratitude, and successively built many small Hades altars in Pompeii, Naples, Solentum… and even some tribes in Samona. Pompeii even began to celebrate Hades with Enona every year on September 9. The Samonais

were slightly different in that they not only began to believe in Hades, but also had more respect for Hercules. Therefore, Enona not only built the temple of Hades in the town of Baparia, but also built the temple of Hercules. Every year on May 20th, the celebration of Hercules, many Samonais will run Come to Baparia and actively participate in the Hercules competition and other competitions…”

After Asisters finished speaking, Plessinas immediately said: “Thanks to Lord Asisters for his help over the years, let Hardy His

beliefs can quickly spread in central Italy!”

After Placinas sat down, another senator stood up, this is the Brutite senator Crayrou.

As a young elder, his question was not so polite: “Lord Asistes, as far as I know, before you took office, the territory of Enona was full of forests. , Huge trees can be seen everywhere, and in the six years you were in power, almost all the trees in the territory were cut down, don’t you think this is a bit too much?!”

Asisters smiled and replied : “Thank you, Lord Crelu, for your concern for the environment around Enona! I would like to explain this issue. First of all, the tree felling in Enona was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, not illegal or random. ”

Saying that, he looked at the Minister of Agriculture, Burkes.

Ten years ago, Burkos resigned from the post of agricultural officer because of the Polyxis case. Bachilippi, who took over the post, died of illness a few years later. At that time, when the kingdom’s agriculture was at its busiest, Great Greece accepted too much. For new citizens, their field work needs guidance and supervision, and the newly acquired land in Messapi and Puchetti is in urgent need of planning and rational distribution. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture urgently needs a capable leader. Davers points again. Bulcos’ general.

Under his persuasion, Burkes returned to this familiar and unfamiliar position, and has been staying in the present.

At this moment, Burkes recalled for a moment, and then said: “This is indeed the agreement of the Ministry of Agriculture. Six years ago, Lord Asisters made a request to His Majesty. After consultation with us, His Majesty decided to allow all parts of the kingdom to be allowed every year. Most of the amount of trees felled is attributed to Enona, which may give you the impression of heavy felling, Lord Crayrou.”
