Chapter 159 Appointment of Roman Administrators (Continued)
Davos nodded in satisfaction to Alcibiades.
Asisters laughed and said loudly, "Great, we have another good helper!"
The crowd immediately responded, and Alcibiades responded with a modest salute.
Davos went on to say, "I have a suggestion to build a large market in the city of Rome, where merchants can deliver goods from the country to sell, the army's baggage camp can also buy here, and the people in the city of Rome can also To buy some daily necessities... The original market in the city of Rome has been converted into a campsite by various legions. I think this new market can be built on the embankment of the south bridge head of Rome Shibashi Bridge, which is convenient for goods to be transported from the port and convenient for customers to go to. Buying... Of course, this is just one of my suggestions, and you need to make a decision that is more conducive to the development of commerce and trade according to the actual situation after your business officials have carefully inspected the entire city."
Flaccus immediately said, "Your Majesty, after the meeting is over, I will immediately start to handle this matter."
"Rome Treasurer...Archibides!" Davos went on to announce the appointment.
Another person in the hall stood up.
"The entire taxation agency in Rome needs you to hurry up and build it up! Although the city of Rome has just been captured, it is impossible to implement the land tax, but the business tax must be collected as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also...the army defeated the Romans one after another, conquered Ostia and Rome, and harvested a lot of spoils. If they were transported back to Turii, it would take time and manpower. It happened that the merchants of the kingdom gathered there Rome, you negotiate a plan with Lord Alcibiades, pick out these spoils that are not urgently needed by the army, auction them off, and then return the gold and silver earned to Turii to make up for the emptiness of the treasury."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Archibides answered this time quite forcefully, and his eyes lit up.
"Agricultural officer...Tibrus." Davos continued, "I have already announced to the Romans that all the previous land will be reclaimed and redistributed! So you need to find out the amount of land owned by the city of Rome as soon as possible, although because War, farming is not yet possible, but distribution can still be made. Let the new Romans in Dionia know that we have our word! And, to distribute to them the best and most fertile land, Let them feel the benefits of joining Dionia, and attract those Romans who are still hesitating to join us as soon as possible!"
"I see, Your Majesty," Tibrus replied.
"How about the land tax?!" Archibides asked anxiously.
Although physically different,
But this treasurer and his immediate boss, Mersis, had very similar attitudes and expressions when talking about money and taxes, which made Davers a little amused. In the same way, from the time of cultivating the land, the tax is exempted for three years, and after three years, it is levied according to the land tax rate of the official citizens.”
Archibides sat back in a slightly disappointed position.
"Roman Registrar Porotax... Roman Judge Diost..." Davos announced the appointments one by one. In fact, for these newly appointed mid-level officials, Davos had rarely met before, but he spent a lot of time remembering the names and features in his mind, and accurately matched the number with the real person. This is a way to show that he attaches great importance to the appointer, and now it seems that this effect is not bad.
"I have already announced the appointment of the main middle and senior officials in Rome, and the rest of the people who have not been appointed will be decided by the Roman administrator Asistes and several administrative lieutenants after consultation. Low, I hope you all go all out to complete your responsibilities! I will keep track of your performance, not because I am worried about your abilities, but because of what?”
Davos tapped the map with his hand, emphasized his tone, and encouraged them to say, "Because we are not only going to occupy Rome, Ostia, but also these Latin gangs, these Roman colonial cities... They are all goals of the kingdom! Here But there are several great cities that are not weaker than Rome! When appointing chief executives and senior officials to manage these towns in the future, you who have experience in government affairs in Rome, know more about the customs and habits of the Latin people, and the situation in the Latinum area will be given priority. The goal that I and the Kingdom Officials Management Committee are considering!"
As soon as these words came out, not only these middle-level officials were excited, but even Nico Marcus, Antrapolis...these elders also smiled.
At this time, the new Roman administrator, Asisters, said, "We have just seen in the square that many Romans are queuing up to apply for citizenship of Dionia. According to the speech you gave them before, I am afraid these There are still many people who want to become public officials of Dionia. We will try our best to recruit some Romans who can speak Greek to serve in various departments. This will not only facilitate us to communicate well with the Romans, but also It is helpful for us to better understand the customs and habits of the Romans, and it is beneficial to our governance.
However, since they are all civilians, I am afraid that many of them do not understand Greek, are illiterate, and have no understanding of our Dionia system and laws. Therefore, more of them can only serve as inspectors, so we need them Are you going to be a patrolman? If necessary, should these inspectors be equipped with weapons? Are there any restrictions? "
"You asked this question very well." Davos looked at Asisters with admiration. Obviously, before leaving Rome and after talking with Asisters once, he might have been thinking about how to manage the city of Rome. thing.
Davos answered without hesitation, "Since they have applied to become citizens of Dionia, don't treat them as outsiders. Of course, you can let them serve as inspectors, and what are the attire of Dionia's inspectors, they will be What kind of attire should it be? However, our officials will temporarily serve as the inspector captain of each group, and there should also be a certain number of senior citizens in the team, so that they can better understand our laws and systems in mutual contact, know that What to do and what not to do in the execution of a mission, to avoid being punished for making mistakes, but instead causing discord..."
"Your Majesty, but we don't have that many people to serve as inspector captains!" interjected the new Roman inspector.
"Let those Legionnaires who are temporarily unable to fight because of their injuries can serve as patrol captains and team members," Nicomarcus suggested.
"Look, as soon as you all discuss, there will be a solution." Davers laughed, apparently agreeing with Nicomarcus' suggestion.
"Your Majesty, the measures you announced on the square today are aimed at Roman commoners and slaves. What should you do with the Roman nobles?" Asistes then raised another important question.
In fact, when Davos was in Turii, he had already told Asistes about some measures he might take after he occupied Rome, so Davos thought that when he raised this question, he wanted to make the officials present They all clearly understood some of his ideas about how to completely conquer Rome, so he said seriously, "The nobles of Rome are different from the Greek nobles or alien leaders we encountered in conquering other regions before. For various reasons, their strength is quite powerful, and The other Latin city-states in this area are also deeply connected, and even if they surrender, they will rise up against our rule, with the The riots will definitely outperform the previous Udier Rebellion!
When Rome is in chaos, other areas here will inevitably be in chaos, but Turii is far away from Rome, and it is impossible to send a large army back and forth as easily as the suppression of Udier. In the end, we sacrificed countless citizens and cost countless people. The land that gold and silver gets may cost us even more...in the long run.
From the current point of view, we need to quickly stabilize Rome and fully deal with the surrounding enemies
Therefore, I chose to absorb the Roman commoners who were more likely to be attracted by our measures, easier to integrate into Dionia, and had great conflicts with the nobles to become citizens of Dioria, rather than the Roman nobles who had great troubles. After defeating the coming Roman army, I decided to turn the captured Roman nobles into slaves and escort them to Turii for resale. "
Davers' cold tone and such a resolute decision surprised the officials in the venue to know that even when he conquered the Pucherti, Mesapi, and Downey, he forced them to disband the tribes and suppressed the riots with an iron fist. However, at first, Dionia allowed them to surrender, but this time, he did not give the Roman nobles a chance at all. This is completely unlike the administrative style of King Davos in the past!
"Your Majesty, if you do this, the nobles of Rome will not have any chance to surrender. I am afraid they will fight with us desperately. Our soldiers will not only increase more casualties, but also increase the difficulty for us to conquer this area!" Nick Marcus was the first to stand up and persuade.
"So, the disposition of the Roman nobles will be announced after the defeat of their army, and now it is only to temporarily detain them." Davos simply explained, and then sat silently.
"Your Majesty... the nobles and their families in these cities are now seeing that we treat them differently from the Roman commoners. I am afraid they have already made them feel uneasy, and as Lord Nicomarcus said, finally we The treatment of the Roman nobles will also make the surrounding Latin city-state nobles feel chilled, which is not conducive to their conquest in the future!"
