Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 4 Chapter 8: The construction of the bridge and the discussion of the Senate's Great Hall

Kunogolata sighed with a deep expression and said: "Amendo Lara built these warehouses and hotels. Davis originally hoped to increase income for the national treasury and benefit the people. You are monopolized by yourself. All these warehouses and hotels, and we are still outsiders, what do you think of the Amendora Lara people! I want to do business and manage city-states, the truth is the same, not only to make money, but to win hearts!" The Kunogorata language is a long-awaited warning to his son. In fact, he would like to say that Davers is an example for Sotatus to learn. After this period of observation, he found that this young leader is not only a military talent, but also a genius in politics. Just looking at every proposal he made, always considers the problem from the perspective of the city-state, from the perspective of the people, and rarely takes care of his private interests, so people forget that he is actually the only life-long governor. As long as Davos can always do this, Kunogora is willing to drive for him.

"Father... I understand." After thinking about it, Sostatus answered a little unwillingly.

"I understand it." Kunogolata smiled gratifiedly. He remembered something and then asked: "Sostatus, it seems that you are ready to do business, not ready to be a public official?"

"Is it not possible to be a public official and a business in the Tua League?" asked Sotatus.

"Of course. Since you like to stay in the market, it is better to go to Mariji as a tax collector, but you have to pass the test."

"test?"

"I don't count, how to do tax!"

"This is too easy for me."

"A few days later, the "Tua Union Public Service Law" proposed by the Archon Daphus will be promulgated. At that time, all Tua Union citizens have the right to be in public office and receive remuneration." Kunogorata decided Give your son a bottom.

"That is not the same as Athens!" Sostatus exclaimed.

"It's not quite the same as Athens. You will know when you get there." Kunogolata said calmly, but he was lamenting in the heart: the promulgation of this law will make the people who originally supported Dafos, I am afraid I will love him more! It’s a young man who dares to dare to do it, great!

........................

Three months after the Tua Union signed a peace agreement with Crotone, the road from the Xiny River Ferry to Turui was completed. The Lucanias who participated in the road construction won the award from the Tua Union Senate on the same day: Go to the half-year labor period.

Since then, the Lucanias have only one and a half years of labor (to participate in fighting with Crotone, reduced labor for two and a half years. Also, because they seized senior officers such as Meranthus, they have lost another half a year. ). Of course, they and Crotone prisoners have to continue to repair the road to Castellon.

After the road between Heraklia and Turui is repaired, the wide, flat and sturdy avenue speeds up the speed of pedestrians and trains, and the time required for the journey is reduced by at least two-fifths, especially for vehicles. It is great convenience.

In fact, when the slaves and captives are smooth and skilled in the process of road construction, the progress is very fast. The main difficulty lies in the bridge. This road passes through four rivers, except for the Sini River in Amendola. On the border of Heraklia, there was originally a pontoon, it was impossible to enter Heraclia to build a bridge, and three bridges were to be built. And Davers asked: It is necessary to build a flat bridge, not a pontoon and an arch bridge, in order to transport goods.

Little Heraclede is thinking about how to build a bridge most of the time. He not only asks his father for advice, but also asks experienced carpenters and even asks two apprentices of the Pythagorean school: what kind of geometric bracket In order to make the bridge more stable. After he thought about maturity, he submitted his bridge plan to Dafos and got the approval of Dafoss. However, the consul made a request: the prisoners could not be built, and the civic soldiers were involved in the construction.

At the same time, Davers also issued an order: On the day of the Army Training Day, the soldiers must participate in the road construction in the morning. Davers hopes to let the soldiers master the skills of road construction and bridge construction, and prepare for future marching.

Little Heraclede commanded the soldiers to tie the two pieces of the cut wood first, and cut the sharply into the riverbed at the end. Then, in the place where the stumps were paralleled ten meters, the other set of wood was diagonally symmetrical. Entering the riverbed, and then erecting a thick piece of wood between the two sets of wood, it just stuck in the gap at the top of the wood (because the two pieces of wood are fixed together), tied and tied so that they line up in a row The pier is ready. Then, the wooden board is laid on the pier to make the bridge surface, and the main body of the bridge is completed. Subsequent work is much easier, the guardrail, the pier and additional support to prevent long-term water flow impact...etc. It took seven days, the first 15-meter long and nine-meter wide flat bridge straddles On the Burano River.

With the experience of the first bridge, the construction of the bridge was even faster... It took only two days to complete the construction of the third bridge.

Daves heard that he praised it and asked Little Heraclede to incorporate the method steps for building the wooden flat bridge into the Tua Union Military Law to guide the march.

Little Heraclede was encouraged, but then he should have a headache, because it is even more difficult to build a bridge on the Krati River, although it was built at the original pontoon west of Turui City, with a delta buffer in the middle. However, the Cossene River is still more than 20 meters wide, and the water is too deep to walk. Little Heraclede had to find a way: how can it be easier and more stable to break into the riverbed?

Just as he pondered over his thoughts, Davers tried to encourage and stimulate him. He said: "Now the Tua League is only a wooden bridge. In the future, we will build a stone bridge, and we will be able to pass the three-layer battleship under the bridge. If you can do it, then you will become a master of bridge building, and will be remembered by future generations!"

The words of Daves made Little Heraclede feel the pressure, and at the same time let him ignite his fighting spirit...

........................

A few days later, the reconstruction work in the city of Turai came to an end, and countless free people flocked to the household registration office. The resident official Rafias received tens of thousands of applications for becoming a citizen of Turi, and he was busy. Disoriented, had to ask the Senate to send more staff.

The Senate is also holding a meeting to discuss the construction of a large square to accommodate tens of thousands of citizens to convene a conference and to assemble troops when the alliance is launched.

"I have no objection to the construction of the Grand Plaza. From the letter of help from Rafias, we can see that our official citizens can easily break through 10,000 people in a few years." After nearly half a year in the city of Amendola The honing of the position of the Chief Executive, especially the work of rebuilding Turui in the past three months, allowed Cornelus to increase his experience and self-confidence. He faced dozens of elders talking and laughing, and also caused laughter from the elders.

Then, Cornelus again questioned: "But I doubt that it is necessary to build a meeting place for 600 people in the Senate House. Now, the number of the Senate is less than 50, so the venue is built. Not only does it waste the manpower and materials of the reconstruction of the city of Turai, but also we have to sit in such a large venue to discuss issues and not listen to the sound."

The words of Cornelus were recognized by some elders.

At this time, Daves stood up from the grass (the Tuas Union veterans were meeting in the open space of the camp, because the synagogue had not yet been built), and immediately attracted everyone’s attention, not only because the Jianda Assembly Hall was His proposal, and for the Turin veterans who had survived the rest of the robbery, Daves, as the two highest powers to save Turui, as the new alliance, made them awe-inspiring.

“The reconstruction of Turui is not only to rebuild the home for our people, but also to consider and plan for the future development of the alliance, so we built better roads, built better bridges, and built our position better. The port ~www.novelmtl.com~ to build a larger square, to build a more orderly neighborhood, to build an elevated water bridge that has never been seen... After that, the new Turui city will be a big Greek or even the whole One of the most beautiful city-states in the Greek world! Then, as the power center of the Alliance, the Senate is going to discuss and decide the place where the alliance will survive and prosper, and the people will always pay attention to it. The places frequented by neighbors are not as old as before. Change, we can save simple, but the people will not agree, they will say, 'Hey, that little old-age home can not match our beautiful city, it makes our beautiful Turui ugly !'"

When the elders chuckled, many people nodded and said that Davers was right.

At this time, some people said: "The ruling official, we ... can build the council better, but don't build it so big."

Daves felt that the voice was a little strange, and he fixed his eyes on it, but it was the Polixsis he had seen before. He nodded and said: "I propose to build a meeting place for 600 people. I will consider it for the future. Amendola Lara The elders know that there were only more than 20 people in the Senate six months ago, and now they are close to 50. Maybe we will let other city-states or tribes join our alliance in the future. Should we put the elites of their city-states and The tribal leaders are included in our Senate, just like what we are doing now, so that the new city state and the alliance can be smoothly integrated to stabilize the people of the new people and guarantee their interests?! For example, a week later the Wesba tribe asked to join We become alliance citizens. For example, Castellon, maybe one day it will also ask to join the alliance..."

The Emperor Amendo Lara knew that Daves had a plan to attack Lukania. This time he successfully defeated Crotone and merged with Turui to convince Davers that he had no objection.
