Chapter 158 Appointment of Roman Administrators

For Mikris, he doesn't really care much about what kind of official position Enanilus will hold in the kingdom after his comeback, but as long as he appears in the kingdom's official circles, he is showing the people of the kingdom that the king has great respect for Mikrius. The understanding of the Kris family will no longer hinder the development of the family in business and politics in the future.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the whole meeting became more relaxed, and by the way, we also talked about how the merchants of Dionia started to enclose their own land, build a storehouse, and look for business opportunities while transshipping materials in the port of Ostia in the past two days. busy situation.

In the end, Mikris left the Roman Senate with a smile on his face, but Alcibiades stayed, because Davos was going to hold an executive meeting here next.

………………………………

Participating in this meeting were the elders of Asisters, Nicomarcus, and Antrapolis, as well as some middle-level officials from important departments.

"Everyone, you are sitting in the Senate of Rome now." Davos saw the officials who came in and sat curiously looking around, so he gave a brief introduction.

"It's much smaller than our Great Hall," said Asisters.

"But the city of Rome is bigger than the inner city of Turii." Nico Marcus said complimentingly: "Judging from the density of its houses, its population is also very large. It is hard to imagine that your majesty can only spend one day. Take such a magnificent city!"

"Nico Marcus, what you said is a compliment to the legionnaires who participated in this siege!" Davos laughed.

"So I'm proud of the amazing record the soldiers have achieved!" Nico Marcus responded quickly.

"The soldiers captured this big city, but then we have to rely on your hard work to completely turn this big city into a city belonging to Dionia." Davos's next words made the officials straighten up. chest.

Then, Davos began to turn to the topic, facing the crowd, he said sternly: "Before you voluntarily come to Ladrum, you should have some understanding of this area, and more in Ostia, but you should know more about this area. The situation we are in may not be very clear, so you must now have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Ladrum."

Davos said this and made a gesture to Henepolis.

Henepolis immediately asked the two guards to hold up the planks of the map depicting Rome and surrounding city-states, and came to Davos's side.

"Sit forward so you can see more clearly."

As soon as Davos spoke,

Regardless of their status, the officials crowded into the first and second rows of the venue, raised their heads, and stared at the map seriously.

"Rome is indeed the largest city-state in central Italy." Davos pointed to the map and said in detail: "The area of ​​​​it and the surrounding land is no less than that of our Turii Plain, or even a lot larger. Although we conquered Rome, in the south of Rome, all its Latin confederates and colonial cities; in the north of Rome, all its Etruscan allies and colonial cities; The Roman army of about 70,000 of the Herniki people is returning quickly... We are now like a lion, surrounded by countless wolves, the situation is very serious! Fortunately-"

Davos's finger in Rome slid down the Tiber River and stopped at Ostia: "The Tiber River is under our control, allowing us to transfer materials and personnel to the outside world through waterways. , but if we can't break the situation of being alone and deeply besieged, over time, the waterway will be cut off, Rome will be completely surrounded, and the victory we have paid a huge price for will be in vain. So I ask you to get to work immediately to take over the city of Rome, not only to restore stability as soon as possible, but also to make it available for our upcoming battles!"

Davos's words made the elders and administrators feel the pressure. The face that was staring at the map was serious, but the eyes also flashed with excitement. After all, these Dionian officials who voluntarily chose to come to Latam Most are citizens who reject mediocrity, are weary of too stable environments, and are enterprising or adventurous.

Davos's eyes swept across them, feeling the strong spirit they conveyed, and smiled slightly in his heart, and said, "Next, I will announce the appointment of administrative positions in Rome during the war."

The reason why Davos emphasizes the word "wartime" indicates that this is a temporary appointment. After the war is over, the arrangement of the administrative staff in the occupied area will need to be re-examined by Davos, the Senate, and the Management Committee of Kingdom Officials.

Most of the officials subconsciously sat up straight.

"The chief executive of Rome—" Davos looked at his former messenger and said loudly: "It will be served by the elder Asisters!"

Before leaving Turii, Asisters had been summoned by Davos and knew his arrangements for him, so his expression was calm.

Nicomacus, Antrapolis... and other elders obviously can't compare with Asisters in terms of qualifications, but they can't become the top managers of such a big city that is also one of the best in the kingdom. There is still more or less loss in my heart.

Davos saw it in his eyes and continued: "Neutum, Knapetia, Mesagne, Enona... In the more than ten years since the establishment of Dionysus, Asistes has served as the The chief executive of the newly conquered alien region, he has excellent political performance and rich experience in governing foreign people, this is the reason why I chose him as the chief executive of Rome..."

After explaining a few words, he added: "Nicomarcus, Antrapolis... You temporarily serve as Roman administrative adjutants, and together with Asistes, govern Rome well, and there is another administrative adjutant who I just Appointed Roman, I hope you can get along well with him and give full play to his role."

Several elders looked surprised, but they were not weak in political experience and quickly understood the intention of Davos' move, and immediately regained their calm and made a statement.

Then, Davos appointed several important mid-level officials in Rome, all of which were recommended by ministers of various departments.

"...The Roman commercial officer is Flaccus."

As soon as Davos finished speaking, a Dionia official stood up in the venue and said loudly, "Thank you for your trust!"

Davos looked at him and said solemnly: "Because of the continuation of the war, the city of Rome cannot trade with the surrounding forces in a short period of time, but there are many merchants from the kingdom, and while they bring us materials and wealth, It will also cause some confusion...Mariji praised you as the best trade official under his command, and I hope you will manage them well and make them an aid to this war, not a trouble!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Flaccus replied confidently.

"Turiyi Chamber of Commerce, Lijim Chamber of Commerce, and a small number of merchants from Crotone and Tarantum... They all donated a huge amount of military rations and materials to this war, so you are strengthening management at the same time. We must not treat these businessmen who have contributed to the kingdom, so you must grasp this measure!"

While exhorting him, Davos said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much, I found a good superior for you."

As he said that, he turned his gaze to the silent elder Dionysian who had just assumed office on the side of the venue: "Alcibiades, I have appointed you as the administrative adjutant of Rome, specially in charge of commercial affairs."

"Me?!" Alcibiades was a little ignorant. Davos asked him to stay for a meeting before. As a newcomer to the kingdom's politics, he was ready to listen.

"You heard that right, it's you!" Davos said jokingly: "All the officials of the kingdom who come here have to work, and now the food is in short supply, we don't support idlers."

Asistes and the others all had smiles on their faces, but no one laughed out loud. Those who were able to sit at the venue were all middle and senior officials from the Kingdom of Dionia, and they were well informed. Of course, they knew Alcibee. What is the identity of Das.

"I did not give you this appointment because you are my relative, but because you are both the elder of the kingdom and the head of the Lijim Chamber of Commerce, so you can better coordinate and communicate with the Dionia merchants who come here. Of course, as a kingdom official, you must treat every merchant equally from a neutral standpoint, not just take care of Lijim merchants." Davos reminded.

Alcibiades was a little moved, and he remembered what his father had said to him: "...that's fine, since you've decided to merge Lijim into Dionia, I won't stop you...but you You must understand that there are many powerful and capable people in Dionia. You can't do whatever you want like you did when you were in Lijim! Although Davos is your brother-in-law, with his character, he will never do anything. I won't give you more care. As a relative of the royal family, you will become the object of many people's attention. If you don't want to be the object of ridicule, then work hard... Stand firm in the Dionysian Senate Heel, this will also give your sister more support..."

Thinking back on the past, Alcibiades said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I really want to do things for the kingdom, but I'm not very familiar with the laws and systems of the kingdom..."

"Lord Alcibiades." Flaccus said hurriedly: "You don't have to worry, I will fully assist you!"

Davos glanced approvingly at the newly appointed business officer, and said, "Don't hesitate, Alcibiades! With Flaccus' full assistance, what else do you have to worry about!"

Alcibiades immediately stated: "Your Majesty, since you trust me so much, I am willing to accept this position."
