Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"It's possible that they... they slashed trees... or secretly opened up the fields in the mountains, or hunting violated the rules..." Gabrinus guessed.

According to the provisions of the Law of Dionia, citizens must obtain permission from the local agricultural officer to cut down trees. The secret exploitation of land in the territory of the kingdom is not allowed, and must be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. Even hunting does not allow excessive killing, especially the killing of young animals, or they will be subject to high fines from the Ministry of Agriculture. Of course, the Ministry of Agriculture cannot have so many people to supervise these illegal things, and more people rely on the public to report, especially the people who are most keen on punishing those who violate the law.

Caranax did not speak. He thought that his colleagues would not be necessary to please the boss, to open the mouth, to guess indiscriminately, to offend the powerful La Odesian family in Naxos.

Garad Moss was thoughtful, his eyes swept over the mountainside, just to see the slaves of the La Othian family who stood by the fields and supervised the workers. The gaze of the foreman who was quietly looking over here, after touching the eyes of Galadmos, hurriedly avoided.

Garrad Moss moved in the heart and walked straight.

The man immediately nodded and said hello to Garad Moss, and also actively promised: after the harvest, he must pay the tax office in time.

Since the turmoil of last year, the people of La Odesian’s family have obviously been warned, and every time they see Garad Moss, they are very respectful.

When he reached out and didn't smile, Garad Moss had to ask euphemistically: "Is the two slaves who came down from the top of the mountain your home?"

"Of course not. I was just about to call the employees to arrest the two slaves who did not know where they came from and tried to break into my field. I didn't expect you to be robbed by the adults. I am still thankful to you. The helper!" The foreman said with gratitude: "The weather is so hot today, adults are busy for a long time, must be tired and hungry, I represent my little master Paphos, invite you and your family to go to your home. Have dinner together to express my family's gratitude! Little master Paphos knows that you are going, and will be very happy!"

Garad Moss quickly expressed his gratitude and refused to say it. Then he looked at the Sikels in the field and several Greeks he did not know. He did not think that these temporary employers knew the two slaves. . Although he has doubts in his mind, after all, he is only a tax official, not a prosecutor. The matter of tracing the violation of the law is not under his control. When he returns to the Political Office of Prosdem, he will tell the farmer about the matter, whether it is It is their job to cut trees, hunt and open up wasteland.

Garad Moss went down the mountain, reached the foot of the mountain, and looked back at the golden wheat field. He vaguely felt that the foreman who spoke just seemed to be watching him.

"The man should be Antrus," Gabrinus said uncertainly.

"Yes, he is the most trusted slave butler of the Oladisian elder, Antrus. I heard that even Paphos will listen to him," Kabanaks said affirmatively.

"It's no wonder that La Odesian will let him manage the home in Naxos. Paphos is not a good thing. I heard that when he was in Turui, he dared to play the daughter of a veteran minister. Was it rushed back to Naxos, is this true, adults?" Gabrinus asked curiously.

"Of course it is a rumor!" Garad Moss immediately denied it. He was not interested in passing on other people's gossip, but the dialogue between his men made him secretly pay attention. He did not expect that the smiling slave was the Strombo. The Antrus that was mentioned in the turmoil of last year and made him struggle for a while.

It’s really unappealing! Garad Moss secretly warned that after returning to the Dema Political Affairs Office, he must remind the Agricultural Officer to check it out.

The return trip was already around 6 pm, but the summer night was dark and dark, at this moment the sun was still hanging in the sky, and the Garadmoos three went east along the north bank of the Alcantara River.

On the right side there is a rushing river accompanied by the river, the green grass swaying and welcoming, the left side is the continuous wheat field, the golden sunset shines on the golden wheat seedlings, shines on the farmer who returns from the field, shines in front of the house. In the lively town... let all the people and things envelope the joy of harvest.

Said to be a small town, the town of Meyaro is even larger than the city of Sikuli, and the population is more than it. Ten years ago, the Naxos exiles rebuilt the old city near Naxos Bay, but some people living in Meyaro were reluctant to move because their fields were on the Alcantara River, if Moving back to Naxos New Town, it took a lot of time to get on the road every day. As a result, almost half of the people in Naxos Town and Meyaro Town were left empty.

A year later, the Sikuli sent a messenger to Turui and asked to merge into the Kingdom of Dionia.

Was it just the reason why Sikuli, who joined the Dionysian League, couldn’t wait to be completely transformed into the territory of Dionya? The reason is simple: there is Naxos in the north of Sikuli and Katanai in the south. This is the city of Dionia. Sikuli is caught in the seaside corridor between the two cities. Turner Volcano), the territory is small, the original Meyaro town was also taken back by Naxos, so more than half of the citizens of Sikuri have no land, watching the people of the two cities in the north and the south. The days are too hot, can you not see it! As a result, the Sikuli people convened a citizen assembly and unanimously demanded to become a Diaonian citizen.

Many of the Sikuri people who became citizens of Dionya went to Katane, and they got a share. Some people came to the familiar Meiaro, which made the population of Meyaro not far away. More than Sikuri, it also surpassed the new city of Naxos.

Therefore, there was a proposal from the veteran: simply upgraded Meiaro to a city and dispatched the chief executive to manage it.

The proposal was strongly opposed by the Naxos veterans, and the reason for their opposition was simple: because Maya Robben was in the territory of Naxos.

Antonios, who was then the chief executive of Naxos, also expressed his opposition. After all, if Meyaro was separated, the tax money that Naxos could directly collect every year would inevitably be greatly reduced (the Dionyrian state implemented a tax-sharing system). , the central and the city five or five points).

It was not until the constant influx of new citizens of Dionya that the population of Naxos New Town rushed up, which made the controversy much smaller, but the people of Diaonia still nicknamed Naxos as “Naxos”. Twin City."

Indeed, in order to better manage Mayalo, every Naxos Chief Executive must send an administrative adjutant to the town of Meyaro, which is responsible for the management of this town that is not a city and is like a city.

The city's administrative adjutant is the new official position of the Kingdom of Dionia. According to the size of the city, a city chief is equipped with 1-3 administrative aides. They assist the chief executive in managing city affairs, and each has a division of labor. Or take up the heavy responsibility when you are seriously ill, this is a senior official position. Meyaro also became the place where the Dionysian Senate cultivated the administrative capacity of the elders with insufficient administrative experience, that is, the elders were directly identified as the administrative adjutant of Naxos and the manager of Meyaro. In the territory of the Kingdom of Dionia there is also a city known as the “Twin Cities”, which is the Crimea, but the towns built on the swamp plains are smaller than the Meyaro.

The new city of Naxos has a strong population, but Sikuri has never been able to increase. Some veterans have suggested that there are few villains in Sikuli City. It is too cold. It is better to cancel the name of the city and downgrade to a small town. Like Taoromean, it can save a lot of administrative expenses (Tauromenian is a city fortress in Sicily because of the city’s strong danger and the land is too barren. One of the military camps trained by the Eighth Corps).

Such a proposal is of course strongly opposed by the Sikuri veteran, and no one wants to see his mother state being demoted and downgraded, so this matter will be lost.

Garad Moss thought about these anecdotes about Meyaro and walked into the town. His office was in the central government office, covering the five De Mo public officials in the middle and lower reaches of the Alcantara River. In this office ~www.novelmtl.com~ instead of in the Demo area, this is another administrative feature of Naxos in the Kingdom of Dionia.

Ten years ago, the First Corps defended the Syracuse coalition forces in the square around the Meyaro Political Affairs Office. After hard work, it defeated the Syracuse coalition and laid the foundation for the final possession of the Catania Plain. In order to commemorate this great feat, a memorial column was erected in the center of the small square next to the government office. At the top was a statue of the soldiers of the army holding the flag of the First Army.

Not far from the Political Office, there are two small temples, one is the Temple of Hades and the other is the Temple of Demeter. You must know that there are two temples in the city of Naxos, and the people living in Meyal proposed to build two more in Meyaro on the grounds that "the temple is too far away and inconvenient to worship." It was rejected by the Chief Executive and the Parliament. As a result, the Meyaro people collectively raised funds to build two small temples, which is a feature of Naxos.

Although it is at dusk, there are still many people coming in and out of these two temples. Most of them are farmers who have just returned from the fields. They are praying for the upcoming harvest.

Garad Moss entered the government office, and most of the public officials had finished their day's work and left the building. Garad Moss turned around and did not find a farmer. He had to say goodbye to the two men and prepare to return to the house.
