Chapter 1034 Employment Guide in the Kingdom of Dionia
"Tibulus, thank you for the advice you just gave me! It has benefited me a lot..." Publius then expressed his gratitude to Tibulus.

Tibulus said humbly: "Master Publius, you are welcome. I have only grown up in Tulii since I was a child. I have heard and witnessed many things, and I know the kingdom relatively well. But understanding is understanding. It is easy to learn, but difficult to achieve. Like us, we have to be down-to-earth and develop step by step. However, your conditions are very good. You are a veteran as soon as you join the kingdom. You only need to lay a solid foundation and you can have a greater success. As..."

Publius nodded and said solemnly: "You are right, Rome has become a thing of the past. I should cheer up and develop better in Dionia, a more powerful country!"

Having said this, he paused and asked humbly: "Tibrutus, this is the advice you gave me just now. Do you have any advice for my children?"

"I remember you said that you have an 18-year-old son, a 10-year-old son...and another...an..."

"And a 6-year-old daughter."

"Uh..." Tibulus pondered for a while and said: "Your eldest son is 18 years old. According to Dionian law, he has reached adulthood, but the kingdom has allocated land to you, so it will not be given to him for the time being. When allocating land, if he doesn’t want to help you manage the farmland at home and inherit your property in the future, he has three options for him to choose from, including politics, business, and military service—"

Tibrutus clasped his fingers and analyzed him patiently: "I believe that with your family's status, your eldest son must have received a good education since he was a child. But if you want to hold public office, you must pass the kingdom's exam. At the beginning of the kingdom's establishment, In those years, the civil service examination was easy, but now it is difficult, because more and more young people are graduating from schools in various towns and cities, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Understand some Dionian laws and Hades' tome.

After passing the exam, you have to serve as an intern public servant in the town where you are registered for one year. After you pass the exam, you will be registered with the Kingdom Officials Management Committee and become a formal employee. The committee will then assign you to a certain department in a certain town as a minimum official. Level public officials——"

"What is this Kingdom Officials Management Committee?" Publius interjected.

"Oh, the Kingdom Officials Management Committee was originally an organization under the Senate. It manages the appointment, promotion, rewards and punishments of all middle and low-level officials in the kingdom. It is now under the direct control of His Majesty. Its main leaders are composed of three senators, one senior There are two lieutenants, dozens of officials and clerks under them, and the current person in charge is also the head of the five rotating presidents of the Senate - Lord Cornelus."

"Oh, then...which department is in charge of the kingdom's senior officials?" Publius immediately thought of another question.

"Senior officials are basically held by senators. Their appointments are recommended by the Senate, such as town administrators or main officials of various departments in the kingdom. Finally, it is left to His Majesty to decide. It seems easier than us middle and low-level officials. , but it is said that the Senate report during the term of office is a big test, and it is not easy to pass. Senators with poor political performance are often humiliated, and it will be difficult for them to hold positions again in the future, such as... ahem..." Tibulus coughed dryly. Twice, he stopped his mouth in time.

"Anyway, it won't take long for you to know about this aspect, so I won't say much, let's talk about your child. Your eldest son has never received education in the Kingdom School, and it is impossible to pass the exam as soon as he comes. , enter the political arena. If he is anxious to enter politics, he can first go to Thurii City Hall to apply and work as a handyman——"

"Handyman?"

"Public officials who have no grades at all, such as clerks, scribes, messengers, bookkeepers, administrators... They also have to pass the assessment and have salaries, but generally they will not be assigned more. There is also a part-time job, When the city hall is busy and short of manpower, it will recruit volunteers to help with the work, and then be dismissed and go home when it is free. Although the salary of the part-time job is very low, it will be recorded in his household registration file. His own future development will be beneficial.

Your eldest son can first work as a handyman or a part-time job to practice his ability to do things and get familiar with various affairs in the kingdom. At the same time, he can spare time and spend some money to hire a teacher or attend an adult study class at Turiyi School to learn knowledge. After two or three years, if you take the Kingdom's civil service examination again, because you have practical political experience, you will have an advantage over those young citizens who have just graduated and take the examination, and it will be easier to pass..."

Tibulus took a breath, and seeing that Publius listened carefully, he continued: "If your eldest son is willing to go into business, you can help him with some money first and let him register at the business office of Thurii City Hall. , obtain the qualifications and certificates to do business——"

"Why do you have to register with the commercial office to do business? Can't you buy and sell freely?" Publius asked curiously. Although Rome's commerce is underdeveloped, people can buy and sell freely.

Tibrus explained: “Applying for registration at the Commercial Office is mainly to facilitate the kingdom’s tax collection and the household registration department’s classification and management. For businessmen, with this business certificate issued by the kingdom, he can more easily obtain For more loans from Christoya Bank, you can also use this to apply to join chambers of commerce in various places to get more help, more information and channels, which will be more conducive to his development.

But the kingdom does not prohibit other people from buying and selling. For example, farmers in towns in the kingdom do not need to apply to the Commerce Office. They can take their excess agricultural products to the designated areas of the market in their towns for trading without paying taxes. However, this The items sold must be in small quantities and cannot be bought or sold in other towns. Otherwise, once discovered, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from heavy fines to deprivation of citizenship..."

Publius was just curious, but in fact the Romans were not a race that was good at doing business, and he was not very interested in it. After he understood a little more, he turned to ask: "What if you choose to join the army?"

"Lord Publius, you first need to know that according to the provisions of the "Dionysian Law", male citizens aged 18 to 45 have the obligation to perform military service and participate in regular military training, regardless of whether you are a farmer or a handicraftsman. A person, a businessman, or a public official of the kingdom..."

"It's the same as it used to be in Rome."

Tibulus had been working in Rome for several months and had some knowledge of the past in Rome. He solemnly reminded: "But what is different from Rome is that the citizens of Dionia are all vying to go to the battlefield to perform meritorious service and win. The kingdom rewards land and trophies, but it is not easy to go to the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, only regular legionnaires can go out to fight. After casualties occur, reserve soldiers will be recruited and supplemented.

Young citizens of Dionia have received military training since childhood and have become familiar with various basic military tactics of Dionia as adults, but your son knows nothing about it, at least within three or four years. It is difficult to become a formal legionnaire. If you want to advance, the best way is to actively apply to serve as a garrison soldier in several fortresses in various territories. Although it is difficult, you can become a formal legionnaire in one or two years.As long as you participate in a few more battles, you will most likely become a squad leader.

But if you want to become a squad leader, you must perform well, which is not easy.And becoming a sub-captain means that he has stepped into the ranks of the kingdom's officers and has become the object of attention of the military affairs department. As long as he has no serious injuries in the future and has made repeated military exploits, he may be promoted step by step ...and even became the commander of the army.After becoming the commander of the legion, it is possible to enter the Senate and become a senator with a distinguished status...

Joining the army is a fast way. Not only can you get a lot of land rewards by virtue of your military exploits, but you can also occupy a high position at a young age. For example, the current Sicilian commander Prosous will be in his early forties after this war. Become the new patriarch of the kingdom! "

Tiburus said enviously, and then sighed softly: "However, they are buying these with their lives. If they are not careful, they may die in battle. The land and wealth they have won can only be bequeathed to their wives and children. For example, the naval fleet captains Frarios and Miltias who died in this war, so I don’t envy them too much, the promotion of administrative officers is slow, but it’s safe!”

"Are promotions within the army the same for all citizens?" Publius asked.

"What?" Tibrutus was stunned, and soon understood what he meant, and said seriously: "Sir, you have to understand that Dionia is not like your old Rome. Noble children can serve as squadron leaders just after they serve. Team officer, this is not feasible in the Kingdom of Dionia! All citizens must start as ordinary legionnaires. Even His Majesty’s adopted son and son-in-law slowly became legionnaires through their own efforts. Captain and Captain. If you want to take another shortcut, you'd better give up.

According to the law, the army is under the direct control of His Majesty. The promotion and appointment of all officers must be approved by him in the end, and the Senate cannot interfere.Anyone who wants to interfere in military affairs will inevitably arouse His Majesty's anger. The Laodissian incident more than ten years ago taught everyone a good lesson. "

"The Laodicean incident?" Publius asked curiously.

"This matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you in detail later when I have time." Tibrutus spoke faster and said: "In addition, your eldest son can also choose to become a farmer or a craftsman, but with your status, this should not be an option. So I won’t say more…”
