Chapter 1070 The Kingdom’s New Administrative Division ([-])

"If the Sidisini people are still stubborn and refuse to listen to advice, then call together all the forces that signed the road construction agreement, vote collectively, and impose military punishment on the Sidisini people who violated the agreement and repeatedly refused to listen to advice!" Davers He said with a majestic look and powerful words: "Dionia can sit on the throne of the leader of central Italy because of our strong strength. If the Sidisini people have to jump out to provoke us, then just use their blood to do it." Build up our prestige!”

"Yes!" Alexis responded slightly excitedly
"In addition... after the resolution of 'forming a border force' is passed by the Senate, Ansitanos, you go to the Etruscan envoy to discuss whether it is possible to build a road from Rome to the northern border of Etruria. This will help deliver military rations and supplies to the troops stationed there in the future."

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea! Building the highway will also help the connection between the kingdom and Etruria, making mutual trade and personnel exchanges closer!" Marij said slightly excitedly.

"However, after the Gauls' army invades the Etruscan territory in a large scale, they can also use the highway to reach Rome more quickly." Lysias expressed concern.

"This is a good thing." Davos said disapprovingly: "We are not afraid of fighting the Gauls head-on. Instead, we are hiding in the mountains to harass them like now, which is a bit of a headache."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to negotiate with the Etruscan envoys on this matter. I believe that under the current situation, they should agree to this proposal." Ansitanos responded, he paused briefly, and then said : "Yesterday, envoys from several tribes in West Numbia came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to meet with His Majesty."

"What is it for?"

"It's still about the Masili tribe. They provoked conflicts and sent troops to invade the territories of these tribes."

"The Masili tribe..." Davos tapped his fingers on the armrest, pondered for a moment, and said: "...Although at the end of the last war, we had an agreement with the East and West Numibians not to interfere with them. internal affairs, and also had a secret agreement with the Marsili tribe...

However, we can no longer turn a blind eye to the Masili tribe's continuous intrusions into other tribes, because not only will this affect the trust of other Numibian tribes in us, but a unified West Numbia is not in our interests. The ambitions of the Masili tribe must be stopped!
Uh... I remember that another large tribe in West Numbia called... Padu has a grudge against the Masili tribe and is more submissive to us. You send someone to contact this tribe secretly and tell them, 'Dio Niya supports them in uniting other tribes against Masili and is willing to provide material support. '"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately." Ansitanos understood immediately, but after thinking about it, he reminded: "There are several tribes' territories separated between the Padu tribe and Masili. The current leader's character Moderate, even if there is no actual threat, you may not agree.”

Davos stroked his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and then said: "If Padu rejects our suggestion, then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take action and persuade most of the leaders of West Numbia to apply to the kingdom. We strongly urge the Kingdom to intervene in this conflict and restore peace to West Numbia... In this way, we will not violate the agreement."

"Understood." Ansitanos actually had this idea in his mind for a long time, but he just asked Davos to take the initiative to say it.

"Your Majesty, does our Ministry of Military Affairs want to prepare for the conflict in West Numbia?" Alexis asked.

Davos nodded: "Regardless of whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' mission is successful or not, your Ministry of Military Affairs must first ask the staff office to conduct war deductions based on the premise of diplomatic failure and military intervention, and then make preparations based on the results of the deductions, so as to truly It can be used immediately when needed.”

"Yes."

Davos looked at Lysias again and said: "Although Carthage has been quiet in the past few years, we cannot relax our vigilance. The intelligence department will tighten its surveillance. Administrator Hadrumantum Is it Litagus?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell him about it and let him be prepared."

After getting another response from Lucias, Davos looked at the crowd and asked again: "Any other questions?"

"Your Majesty, the construction process of the main temple of Hades is speeding up. In two days, after the design of the giant statue on the top of the mountain is confirmed, carving and modeling will begin. I believe that the main temple of Hades will be completed before next year's celebration." The temple will definitely be completed." Heraclides said as if he was taking credit for building the great city.

"Very good!" Davos praised lightly. He did not want to talk more about the temple reconstruction at the administrative meeting, because at the beginning, under Plessinas' proposal, he received the support of many senators and ministers. support, but some are still opposed, not only because the war has just ended and the country has not yet fully recovered. It is a waste of time and money to build such a large public building, but also because there will be special ceremonies when the main temple is built, allowing a small number of people to People are worried…

"It seems that you have no other questions." Davos changed the subject and said slowly: "As for the last question you raised, 'In view of the vast territory of the kingdom, in order to facilitate the management of the kingdom, we hope to divide the provinces into provinces and establish permanent governors. I have already made a decision about the proposal of a new position."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became energetic and listened attentively.

Davos saw this in his eyes and continued calmly: "I think your proposal is correct. Just like what I just said, 'the situation in the kingdom has changed, the situation has changed, and the old system will also follow. Change to adapt to new developments.' However, the two terms 'province and governor' are derived from Persia and do not match our Dionia. I am more accustomed to using the term 'region and regional administrator' Two words were used instead to show the difference between the Kingdom of Dionia and Persia.”

"Region and chief executive..." Everyone whispered these two terms.

"Your Majesty, these two terms are better, easy to understand, and correspond to our two words 'city and city chief'. Even ordinary people can understand the meaning." Even Ansita, who is a scholar, Nostal said this, and others had no objections.

Davos smiled and said, "Henny, go bring up the map of the kingdom."

The word "lift" is used because this map was drawn on a huge wooden board. It not only showed the existing territory of the kingdom, but included all areas of the entire Western Mediterranean. Of course, other areas were depicted. It is not as detailed and accurate as the kingdom, so that the area north of the Iberian Peninsula and the Italian Peninsula is basically a blur.

Davos stepped down from the throne, took the long wooden pole from Henepolis, used it to draw on the map and said: "The far north, the towns we have in Latium and the Etruria north of the Taibo River The sub-towns were merged into the Roman region, and the Roman administrator was established, and the administration was located in Rome;
Our towns of Campania, Samone and Enona were merged into the eastern region of Campania, with Beneventum as its seat of government;

Further south, the towns of the original Lucania and the three coastal towns of Poseidonia, Elea, and Picosis were merged into the Lucania region, with its seat at Grumentum;

The towns of the original Bruti and Laos were merged into the Bruti region, with its seat in Cosenza;

The original Apulian region was divided into the Dauni region, the Pucheti region, and the Mesapei region according to the original territories of the three ethnic groups: Dauni, Pucheti, and Mesapi. The Dauni region was governed in Luceni Asia, the seat of Pucheti is at Silvim, and the seat of Messape is at Oudière;

Heraclea and Metapontum were merged into the Turii region, and the seat of government remains here——"

"Your Majesty, does Bisignia belong to the Bruti region or the Thurii region?" Sedorum asked softly.

"Oh, I just made a slip of the tongue. Bisignia still belongs to the Thurii region." Davers immediately corrected it, and then said: "Crimissa, Asproustum, Crotone , Siliting merged into the Crotone region, and its governance is in Crotone;
Trina, Hibernian, Colonia, Medma, and Locle merged into the southern region of Magna Graecia, with Trina as its seat of government;

Taurina, Regim, Messina, Mile, Tyndares and the unfinished Himera (after the old city of Himera was destroyed by the Carthaginians, no one dared to rebuild there for decades town, but after the Western Mediterranean War, the entire Sicily has been placed under the rule of the Kingdom of Dionia. Sipulos, who was still the wartime governor of Sicily at the time, made a suggestion to rebuild the city of Himera. Two reasons: First, the area The area is the only relatively broad, flat lowland on the northern coast of Sicily, and the soil is fertile, which is conducive to the settlement of a larger population; secondly, because it was less affected by the war, some Greek city-states on the northern coast were not incorporated into Daisy after the war. The Kingdom of Onia, but attached to Dionia, became an autonomous city-state like Tarantum. Due to the early surrender of Saurus and Palermos, Dionia kept its promise and allowed them to be autonomous. La is located exactly in the center of the north coast, and its establishment is conducive to the stability of the north coast of Sicily) merged into the Straits area, where it is governed - "

Davos paused and said, "Lijim and Messina."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were surprised. Mariji thought for a moment and immediately praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise! Turning Lijim and Messina into one region will be conducive to the unified management of the Messina Strait area." Shipping problem! Setting the seat of government in Messina and Lijim at the same time will be more conducive to resolving the centuries-old conflicts between the people of the two towns!
In fact, the ancestors of many people in these two cities are from the same ally, and the distance between the two cities is only 10 nautical miles. However, due to the issue of interests, there have been constant conflicts. Even after joining the kingdom, this is still the case. I even went to mediate several times.

This time, His Majesty has designated these two cities as regional governance seats at the same time, which will help officials and the people work together to resolve conflicts and improve the efficiency of governance for the common benefit. This is a great initiative! "

Davos smiled and said nothing.

"But the administrative offices are in Messina and Lijim at the same time. It may be difficult to manage." Mentotic Els asked with some confusion.
