Chapter 38 Rotating Chairman Cypros

In the residence of another rotating chairman, when Cypros saw that it was Hiktas who came to visit, he was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "Why, you are also here to elect the regional chief?"

Hiktas shrugged helplessly: "Lord Rotating Chairman, since His Majesty announced this in the afternoon, the Senate is like boiling water, and it has not stopped arguing when the meeting is over. When I came here just now, I saw several articles. The streets are full of carriages... Everyone is asking for help for the election of the regional chief executive, how can I stand by and watch."

"But you haven't even become a town administrator yet. It's too early for you to be a district administrator." The reason Cypros said so directly is because after the conquest of Syracuse, As the wartime governor of Sicily, he was able to stabilize the order of the once largest city-state in Sicily in a relatively short period of time, and Hiktas contributed a lot. During the period when the chief executive of Syracuse was not yet determined and he was temporarily governing, he also received strong assistance from Hiktas, so the two sides established a good working relationship. Later, Hiktas was transferred to Turii to serve, and he was taken care of by Cypros many times, and the two became good friends.

"Of course not for me, but for Syracuse." Hiktas said seriously: "You also know that since Lord Adriankes served as the chief executive of Syracuse, he Lacuza manages very well. My relatives and friends in Syracuse have praised him many times in their letters. I am thinking that the development of Syracuse is just on the right track. Instead of electing a Syracuse citizen An unfamiliar and unfamiliar elder who does not know the situation in the Syracuse area will serve as the chief executive of the area. It is better to choose Lord Adriankes. He should make the development of this area better, so I came to visit you specially, I want your support."

"Hiktas, I have told you several times, you are now the elder of the kingdom of Dionia, don't just stare at Syracuse, only speak for the interests of Syracuse, and put your eyes on it Be broader and pay attention to other towns, so as to gain the approval of His Majesty and other elders!" Cypnos reminded with a serious expression.

"I've listened to what you said, and I've been slowly changing, this is a few days ago about 'whether to accept the Frentani's request, form an alliance with them, send the navy to help them patrol the coast, drive out pirates '' proposal, I also have a speech... But Syracuse is my foundation, if I don't speak for its interests, the people in my hometown will scold me!" Hiktas said earnestly.

Cypros had pointed it out, and seeing that he understood, he directly replied to the selection question he mentioned: "I don't need you to worry about whether Adriankes can become the chief executive of the Syracuse region. One of Dionia's fathers, he is older than me, and his connections are deeper than mine. Not to mention other things, those veterans in the army will definitely support him with all their strength. The key question now is whether he is willing to become a tin. Rakuza Regional Administrator, you might as well persuade him instead of persuading me."

Seeing that Hiktas wanted to speak, Cypros waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, after the meeting, His Majesty discussed with our five rotating chairmen,

In the interest of fairness, it was decided to postpone the final election to 10 days, so that the elders who served as chief executives in various towns could come back in time for this important meeting. "

"Then I'm relieved." Hiktas breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's better to care about yourself first than to care about others. After the addition of the district administrator this time, the position of the kingdom's town administrator will be open to the middle-level officials of the kingdom, and the competition for the position of the town administrator will become very fierce. You are now Or the town administrative adjutant?" Cypros asked with concern.

"Administrative adjutant of Amendolara." When he mentioned his position, Hiktas complained: "The place in Amendolara, regardless of the size of the town, has quite a lot of things, the most important thing is... ...Most citizens there just broke into the city hall at every turn, wanting to report the problem to us, the pavement slabs in front of their houses are cracked...the canals between their fields are caved in...wait, it's all a few Little things that don't matter, you can't punish them for their rudeness, and try to help them solve their problems because they all have that little disc on Bolton—"

"Dionysian Alliance Builders Medal." Cypros nodded, expressing his understanding: "Old citizens of Amendolara have a special status in the kingdom, and even if I arrive in Amendolara, the situation is better than yours. Not much, but after three years of special training in Amendolara, I believe that you are not only familiar with the laws of the kingdom, but also able to handle various government affairs of the town proficiently. After the election of the district administrator this time, the town administrator There will be many vacancies in your position, you must seize this opportunity and seek the position of a town administrator as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to your future development in the kingdom's political arena!"

Hiktas was moved by Cypros's reassuring words, and he said earnestly: "Thank you for your reminder! I will definitely strive for promotion, and I hope you can give me more support!"

Cypros did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: "Of course I will speak for you, but in the end, the appointment of the town administrator has to be decided by Your Majesty, but you have performed well in Amendolara, I believe that you will be the town administrator. The job is not a big issue.”

"That's great!" Hiktas looked excited.

"Oh, how is your nephew Samoratis now?" Cypros asked.

"He is still the same as before. He has no interest in becoming a government official of the kingdom, he just wants to be an officer. Now he is also a firefighter in Amendolara, and his main energy is on military training."

"Everyone's aspirations are different. He can become a legionnaire. If he can be promoted to legion commander in the future, he will also have the opportunity to enter the Senate. This is also a good way..." Cypros said with a smile.

"But when the war happens, who knows what will happen... alas..." Hiktas sighed.

"Okay, it's getting late, you can go back quickly, staying with me for too long will not affect you and me very well." At this time, Cypros said softly.

Without hesitation, Hiktas stood up, bowed respectfully to Cypros, and turned to leave the mansion.

……………………………………

That night, not only did the high-ranking officials of the kingdom come and go frequently in the city of Turii, but most of the ordinary people gathered in the restaurants and pubs to discuss the resolutions promulgated in the Senate today.

And after that night, when the news gradually spread across the country, this phenomenon also appeared in various towns.

The Minister of Inspector was worried about this and asked Davos for instructions: "Your Majesty, do you want to temporarily issue a curfew? To prevent accidents!"

After thinking about it, Davos did not agree. He only said slowly: "No, you must trust the citizens of the kingdom."

Although Davos made this statement, the inspection department did not dare to take it lightly, and urgently notified the town inspection offices to send additional personnel to patrol at night.

However, in the past few days, apart from the increase in the number of people drinking and making trouble at night, the increase in the number of fighting in the port, and the protests of the local council members in various towns against these resolutions, the entire kingdom is basically relatively stable.

As King Davos said, "Trust the Citizens of Dionysus!" whether it's out of patriotism, a sense of duty, or fear of actually being sent to the frontier, or because the 6% tax is a boon to abundance It's really not worth mentioning to them...and Davos had the intelligence agencies do a planned, step-by-step pre-propaganda across the country in advance, allowing citizens to unknowingly reduce their aversion to tax increases, I'm even glad that I don't collect too much tax.

In short, the citizens of the kingdom calmly accepted the new taxation bill.

Citizens did not rise to protest, and those registered freedmen and prospective citizens did not dare to make trouble at this time. Otherwise, once they have a criminal record, it will be very difficult to become a full citizen according to the new immigration law.

The real dissatisfaction is the freedmen who want to join the kingdom of Dionia but have not yet registered, but they are not enough to cause much trouble to the kingdom, and the new immigration law has not been completely cut off, they become Dai. The road of the citizens of Onia is only more difficult. Once they gradually recover their senses from disappointment, anger, alcoholism, and noise, and accept the reality, they have to make a choice: to join the newly formed border army and fight for an early Become a Dionysian citizen? Or would it be safe to continue living in the kingdom and qualify as a citizen with a longer wait? Or too old to meet the recruitment requirements, but also to venture to settle in southern Iberia? ...

……………………………………

The quietness of the domestic situation also made Davos, who seemed to be calm all the time, secretly relieved, allowing him to receive his friend, Plato, a great scholar from Athens, in a more relaxed mood.

Davos hosted a banquet at the palace to entertain Plato and his proud disciple Spicypus, and invited Ancitanos, the foreign minister and historian, the dean of the Faculty of Letters of the Dionysian Academy, who was also a former member of Plato. accompany Lysias, an old Athenian acquaintance.

"I didn't hear your keynote speech at the conference this time, which not only makes me feel very sorry, but also makes our entire conference pale!" Davos said to Plato with a look of regret.
