Chapter 160 Licinius Stolo

Asisters looked at the expressionless Davos, hesitated for a moment, and finally said his thoughts: "It is better to allow the surrendered Roman nobles to apply to become citizens of Dionia, but their families must Dismantled and dispersed to other parts of the kingdom, re-assigned to land..."

After listening to Davos, he didn't speak. He looked at Asisters and understood in his heart: Apparently, Asisters has not been idle these days, he has been thinking about the solution to the Roman nobles...

Davos looked around at the other people, and they all had more or less doubts on their faces: Is it really the influence of my past life that made me feel an inexplicable fear of the Romans?

Davos also had a bit of confusion in his heart. He pondered for a while, and said slowly to Asistes: "You can try the surrender of the Roman nobles, but only after the Roman army is defeated."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Asisters frowned.

But Davos thinks that he has little hope of success. After all, he has deprived the wealth of the Roman nobles, dug their roots, and wanted them to submit. This is probably very difficult!

At this time, Nico Marcus said: "Your Majesty, I have a question."

Davers looked at him.

Nico Marcus patted his seat and asked curiously, "Why is this seat so obviously different from the one at the back? Not only is it made of ivory, but it is also padded with cowhide, making it very comfortable to sit on."

"This is a feature of the Roman Senate. The seats you are sitting in are located in the front row in the center of the venue. Only the most prestigious and honorable elders in Rome can sit, so they must be distinguished from other seats." Davos simply explained a few words.

Nico Marcus looked astonished: "I didn't expect the elders of Rome to know how to enjoy."

He also turned around and said to the others, "You guys will come and sit in a while, and feel what it's like to be the most honorable senator in Rome."

Everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly relaxed a lot.

Davers looked at Nick Marcus, who had a good sense of humor, with a smile on his face. It was also very interesting that there was a witty political figure among the people of Lokrie who had been living under severe punishment.

In a relaxed atmosphere, the meeting came to an end. In the end, Davos encouraged everyone: "Everyone, whether we can gain a firm foothold in Latinum depends on your governance of Rome!"

………………………………

At dusk,

The Roman administrative aide-de-camp, Valques, took the new Roman domiciliary officer Polutax to meet Davos in a hurry and reported to him: "... A total of 531 people applied to become citizens of Dioria, among which the public slaves of Rome 367, 164 Roman civilians, and many Roman civilians are watching..."

"Well done, Valks! Please keep working hard, you will become an excellent kingdom official!" Davos did not hesitate to praise himself.

Valkes grinned, wanting to laugh happily but didn't dare to laugh out loud, looking a bit funny.

Davos didn't care, and continued: "Tomorrow morning, you will gather these Romans who are going to be citizens of Dionia and assign them houses..."

"Poltax."

"His Majesty!"

"You go back and tell Asistes that after these Romans have allocated their houses, immediately start preparing to allocate land to them, and at the same time, arrange positions for those Romans who are willing to serve in public office. Make it bigger!"

"Understood, Your Majesty. I will tell Lord Asisters when I go back."

Davos looked at Valques again and said kindly: "Valques, the new administrator of Rome, Asistes, has just arrived. He is your superior, just like the former Roman consul. If there is anything you need to discuss with him first, and he will also arrange some new tasks for you, he is a very good person, I believe you can work together well and manage Rome together!"

Valkes roughly understood what Davos said. Although he was a little lost, he still respectfully claimed that he was.

After sending them off, Davos leaned back on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest, and Henepolis came in and reported to him, "Your Majesty, Amelius asks to see you."

Davos opened his eyes slightly: "Let him come in."

Amelius was originally a Latin slave, bought by the Diorian intelligence service ten years ago, after a few years of special training, he was sent to the Latinum region to engage in intelligence gathering and Latinum in this area. The creation of the intelligence team, most of the intelligence Davos had seen about Rome in the past came from his handwriting.

After Davos led the army to attack Ladrum, he ordered him to lead his subordinate members to cooperate with the army.

The intelligence leader was actually only in his 30s, but he looked older than his actual age, and because he became a slave when he was young and often starved, he was thin and small, but Davos was not attracted by his appearance. Despising him, he said to him kindly: "Amelius, what surprise did you bring me?!"

You must know that after the Roman army invaded Helniki, the detailed information of the emptiness in the city of Rome was sent to Turii in time by this unremarkable guy, and finally made Davos make up his mind - to attack Rome first. After he drew the map of Ostia city, he sent it to the palace in time, allowing Davos to find the key to quickly capture this port town.

Amelius stood in front of Davos, and after saluting respectfully, he said eagerly, "Your Majesty! My subordinates have already mixed in with the Roman civilians. Today they heard a surprising news, some Roman civilians thought To your detriment!"

"Oh?" Davos is not surprised by this, and he has encountered several attacks over the years, and he has become accustomed to it, and he motioned Amelius to continue with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, when you were giving a speech in the square, I noticed that some civilians were dissatisfied, but did not express their disapproval loudly. After your speech, several of them did not apply to become our citizens, nor did they He followed the orders of the soldiers and went back to his house, but quietly stayed in a house on Mount Silio for a while, then returned to the square, and whispered with some of the civilians before... My men quietly Approached them and vaguely heard them talking about 'Camilus, the Roman army' and things like that, and even mentioning your name...and then five or six Roman civilians started lining up to apply to be Dionysus Asian citizens..."

Davos pondered while listening: "It seems that these Romans are preparing to attack me when the Roman army is attacking..."

"Your Majesty, I thought so too, so I hurried to report to you." Emirius said as if taking credit.

"Who lives in that house on Mount Sirio?" Davos asked a crucial question.

Amelius was already prepared, and he immediately replied: "I have already sent someone to inquire. The owner of that house is Gaius Licinius Stolo."

The name gave Davers a touch of familiarity, but he had never known or had contact with the Roman before, which made him wonder: Could it be a historical figure?

"...Although he is a Roman commoner, he is very influential among the commoners, because his father was a military officer last year, and the wife he just married is a famous Roman senator named ... Phebius ... Daughter of Ambestus—"

Davos moved in his heart, waved his hand to interrupt him, and asked, "Are you saying that he is a commoner, but he is married to Fibius, a great noble in Rome?!"

It is no wonder that Davos was surprised. According to his knowledge of Rome, the reason why Roman commoners could not cross the threshold of nobles was because the Roman nobles imposed strict restrictions on them, and even the law that "nobles and commoners shall not intermarry" was also banned. It is clearly engraved on twelve bronze columns.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Because he was the first commoner to marry the daughter of a great nobleman, many Roman commoners regarded him as the pride and example of commoners." Emirius said with certainty: "And this man himself is relatively Excellent, although he is only 21 years old, he has participated in several battles and won a civic crown for his outstanding military exploits. He was injured in the battle with Wolsey and our first army before, and has been recovering at home, so no Follow the army of Camelus to Herniki..."

Davos pondered: In these years, Rome has been invaded by the Celts and the Roman civilians have fled several times, which made these nobles in Rome feel the crisis and began to gradually make concessions to the civilians. Military officials can let Roman civilians serve as a Best example. This man's father served as a Roman military officer, and he also let the elder of the Fabius clan marry his daughter, but he was not punished by Roman law. It can be seen that the Roman aristocrats have begun to have an interesting interest in talented and attractive people. The civilians are trying to win over... Fortunately, our attack came in time. If the contradiction between the nobles and the civilians is eased after the promulgation of the "Licini Law" in Rome, it will be much more difficult for Dionia to use the current method to disintegrate Rome. ……and many more! Licinifer? !

At this time, Amelius thought of something again, and then said: "Oh, yes, this Licinius is not young, but he is proficient in Roman law, and often helps the common people to write complaints for free, so he won a lot of money. The love of the Roman commoners..."

"Gaius Licinius Stolo..." Davos read the name softly, and a thought suddenly popped out in his heart: Could this person be the one who insisted on fighting for many years in the past Roman history, and finally let him The Roman tribune who passed the Licinian Law, which gave Roman commoners relatively equal rights? !

It's a pity that Davos's previous college major was not history. He only briefly learned about the "Licini Law" which greatly influenced the historical process of Rome in the class of "Western Legal History". He did not remember the name of the person who formulated the law. , and did not remember the era at that time, so he was not very sure. ()
