Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Mariji, you remind me. It seems that while sending people to Carthage, we have to send people to contact with Syracuse, and one more channel to buy food, one more safety!" Dave Corrected in time.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you all the time to ask about the purchase of food, but where does the money come from?! You know that even the treasury can't even get a drachma!" Melsis asked aloud. Do not care about the new identity of Daves.

Of course, Davers would not care about this small problem. His right hand gently supported the back of the chair. On the way back to Turui, he thought about this problem. Now, after understanding the real financial situation of Dionia, His thoughts are even more solid: "Mersis, you remember that when we were in a second war with Crotone, the state treasury was exhausted. What measures did we take to tide over the difficulties?"

Melsis screamed and yelled, "Oh, how do I forget this! War bonds! We can issue war bonds again!"

"No, we don't issue war bonds! The consumption of this war is huge. If bonds are issued, even if the war is won, the alliance will seriously affect its future development because of its huge debts!" Standing up, his eyes are firm, his tone is firm and heavy: "This war is not only about my interests, it is not only about the interests of your elders in the Senate, but about the thousands of people in Dionia. Life and death, is it because we were wiped out, killed or become slaves by Syracuse? Or completely defeated Syracuse and pulled it down from the throne of the Western Mediterranean hegemony, winning a broader, A more brilliant future?!

So this is a national war! It requires everyone in our alliance to put their own strength into it and bring them together to make a final contest with Syracuse! Who can persist until the end, who can win this hegemonic battle!

Therefore, I propose that the Senate advocate the people of the Dionysian Union for fundraising, and I will be the first fundraiser! In addition to maintaining the normal supply of family and slaves for three meals a day, I will donate the remaining reserves of food! In the past few years, the profits earned by the banks, restaurants, and shops that my wife has run, in addition to maintaining normal expenses, have all been donated to the Alliance for the war! ”

The words of Davers shocked the four people present.

Capps exclaimed excitedly: "Your Majesty, I would like to be the second donor!"

"And me, Your Majesty!" Mariji followed closely. "The Alliance is my home. If it is gone, it will be useless to leave more gold and silver. I am willing to dedicate my loyalty to the Alliance!"

"Don't forget that we are Bisinians, Your Majesty!" Barilipi said earnestly: "The Bisinians are inseparable from the Alliance. I will not only donate myself, but I will return to Bisnia. Go and call others to donate too!"

Melsi Si saw the other three people have expressed their attitudes, hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Well, I also donate.

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

In the afternoon, the Senate passed a resolution: In order to win this great war with Syracuse, the people of Dionia will be called to unite and donate money and food to the alliance that has already lacked property to help the Alliance overcome this difficulty!

The news quickly spread throughout Turui, Amendola, Bissin...

When the people were still talking about it, a shocking news came soon: the new king of Dionia, Daves, stood up and generously donated to the Alliance: 51 Tarant 3500 Lakma, there are more than three tons of wheat, dozens of cattle and sheep... The slave general manager of the Daves House, Ribazzo, brought the supplies to the Victory Square with a fleet of dozens of trucks loaded with property. Let the public servants of the Treasury led by the finance officer Melsis receive it.

When every citizen saw the cricket team passing by, they were greatly touched.

However, such stimuli are continuous, because Kuno Gorata, Cornelus, Scamblas, Rafias... All the veterans of the Senate have announced that they will donate their belongings to the Alliance. cereals.

When I saw one car after another full of cargo entering from the gates of Turui and heading for the square, the people finally couldn’t help it. They passed each other’s slogans that did not know when they came out. "The alliance is our alliance. If the alliance is prosperous, the family will be rich. If the alliance is dead, the home will not exist!" "We don't want to be slaves of the cruel Syracuse. As long as we unite and sacrifice, we will carry the war to the end. Victory must belong to the wearer. Onia!"...

If yesterday, the public was somewhat confused and pessimistic about the prospects of the war, and after two big wins, they have already regained the confidence of victory. The new King Davers and the veterans took the lead in donations, and these quickly circulated slogans made the people aware of the difficulties the Alliance is currently facing, awakening their sense of responsibility as a Diaonian, so everyone started let's move.

Not only that, but even the soldiers in the military camp collectively wished Daves, hoping to return home, prepare goods and food, and donate to the Alliance.

Daves agreed to push the boat and announced that the first, second and seventh regiments would be temporarily disbanded and returned to the military camp before noon tomorrow, and that they were later punished by military law.

The Turai area, which has been deserted for many days, finally got busy again on this day. The people took slaves, held or carrying money boxes, purses, and carrying the beasts of the grain stored in the house, from Amendo. Lara, from Bisnia, from the outskirts of Turui, the port of Turui, the city of Turui... from all directions, to the square...

"Parian Dolores, you come very quickly!" Aguilas saw Parian Dolos and his son Patroclus, who was standing in front of him, shouting loudly.

"Uncle Aguilas!" Patroclus excitedly waved.

"Little Cross, I heard that you assisted your father in managing the village, repelled the sneak attack of the Syracuse sailors, and did a good job! You have become a soldier of Dionia!" Aguilas looked The little guy who used to be so naughty has such excellent performance and is very pleased.

"But the Legion still refuses to let me serve!" Patroclus complained.

"You are less than 18 years old and do not meet the requirements of the Military Law. Wait two years." Aguilas remembers his age, so he comforted.

"Wait?! Wait until the war is over!" Patroclus said wronged.

"Do not worry, this war will end, there will be another war, and the battle you will participate in will be inevitable in the future!" Aguilas said with emotion.

At this time, Pariandos had handed over the materials he had carried to the slaves and turned around to perform a military ceremony.

Aguilas also returned to the military ceremony.

Aguilas is an old-fashioned Legionnaire. Pariandos is also a Legionnaire. Although he has quit his active duty because of a lame and a handicap, he has already branded the mark of the Dionyrian Army.

In such a crowded and noisy environment, the same people are armed with each other, and the people around them are not funny and interesting. On the contrary, they look respected to them.

"Admiral Aguilas, you are inconvenient to move, there is no need to come in person, let the slaves send things to the square," Pariandos said with concern.

Why is it called Aguilas, because he has been promoted to the governor of Demo.

With the influx of immigrants and the rapid development of the Union of Dionynia in recent years, the suburbs of the cities, especially Turui, are not the first few villages sparsely on the vast plains. The population has become denser, the number of villages has been increasing, and villages and towns have emerged to facilitate the purchase of villagers who are far away from the urban area or the market, and who are busy with their work, or to enjoy entertainment and sports during the slack season, and more importantly for convenience. Each city manages these scattered farms, and some administrative tasks can be completed by these villages and towns, such as tax collection, military training, and so on.

Therefore, the chief executives of various cities in the alliance have suggested to the Senate that there is an additional administrative division between the city and the village.

It coincides with Daves’ proposal to “establish a local council in each city”. The proposal was passed in the Senate. Sesta took a look at the suburbs of each city and referred to the polity of other city-states, especially Athens, and finally to the elders. The hospital made a suggestion: add Demo (ie township).

It’s just that Devon’s implementation is not like the Demo of Athens. A Demo in Athens must include a seaside village, a mountain village, and an urban area, which are not adjacent to each other. This is too complicated to manage, but Dionys. Ya Demo is the jurisdiction of the surrounding villages, it is more convenient to manage, thus improving the administrative efficiency ~www.novelmtl.com~ At the same time, the Dema Chief Executive of Deonia is in accordance with the regulations The outstanding performers of the village heads are nominated by the city’s chief executive and appointed by the Daonian Union’s Public Service Management Committee. Compared with the village chief elected by the villagers, Chief Demo has entered the public service roster of the Senate, and the regional administrative power is only lower than the chief executive of the city's chief executive, Demo, who is already a middle-level official in the league, called "adult" "Not too much, and the village of Pariandos is just under its jurisdiction.

"What an adult, I am not the same as you." De Mo's system was just launched, and soon it was temporarily terminated by the Syracuse invasion, so Aguilas has not adapted to this change of identity: You and I were both soldiers of the Legion. They participated in the battle. They know that the supply of military food is important to the army. Without food, the soldiers will be hungry, and the powerful army will also defeat the shackles, so I must come! I have to give The people there are taking a good start! In addition to leaving me and my family enough to maintain the rations for the autumn harvest next year, I have donated other foods, I hope that Dafoss... You can use these donated materials to organize a A powerful army, completely defeating the Syracuse, so that our land is no longer destroyed by these **** enemies!"

"You are right, Aguilas adults! We don't support the Legion first, will others support it!" Parian Dorothy said with excitement, he heard a shouting sound around him.
