Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"The Tarantums have always thought of themselves as if they were more noble than anyone else. In fact, they have long been attached to the kingdom, Leotini, Taunis, Potentia ... the former allies of these kingdoms have been merged in succession. Kingdom, but it still maintains the status of a free city ... This time Prince Apox can overwhelm the Tarantum's most proud knowledge, and it really let us down, but unfortunately I did not see the scene at that time ! "

"Let's have a drink for the wise Prince Apox!" Someone proclaimed loudly, and immediately received a response from everyone.

When everyone drank and celebrated, Massim looked sad: King Daphs' son was already famous in the kingdom at such a young age, but his children were far from certain when they could go to Turui school, 唉...

"Another cup?" The chef's voice interrupted his disappointment, and he turned to see that the chef had sipped a spoonful of beer and reached out to his wooden cup.

He shook his head, but listened to the kitchen lady comfortingly said, "This cup is free. I invite you. Look away, there will always be a way!"

Since moving to the outer suburbs, Massims has gone out to find work every day. At the same time, he will come to this street pub every evening to drink a glass of beer. The news, this time, I gradually became familiar with everyone, and his situation was generally understood by everyone.

Maximus took the wooden cup filled with wine, hesitated to say "thank you", and listened to the chef said, "Since Turui City Hall has no chance, you can actually consider going to other towns and municipalities. Hall, such as Cosenza, is also a kingdom city, not too far from Turui. It may be because it is in the inland mountains and there are more Bruti residents, so many free people are not willing to go there. I heard that there is a lack of hiring workers in the city hall. If you go there, you should be able to be hired more easily, maybe you can get more opportunities.

Hearing this, Massims moved in a hurry and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

The chef said with a smile: "Don't worry, in fact, I can't control my mouth. If you really go to Cosenza, I have one less good guest who can patronize my business every day."

"I said that if you don't want Avra, marry Massims!" A diner teased.

The kitchen lady immediately rounded her eyes, slammed the wooden spoon on the counter, and cursed, "I said that you Nerelius drank too much wine, and started talking nonsense again! Should I ask someone to pour you a pot? Cold water, sober sober! "

"Nelius, you are just mean, don't provoke Afra every day, and let her scold you for a few words, are you uncomfortable!"

"I don't think he's cheap, he's a spring cat."

"How to say?"

"It's estrus season!"

"Hahaha ..."

A group of people interrupted the fight, and the atmosphere of the tavern became lively again.

At this moment, a diner shook his eyes and shouted outside the tavern, "Gorgian, you are coming!"

Gorgion stepped into the tavern and nodded to the diners. When he saw Massims, he hesitated a moment, and then said to the cook: "It's still the same old rule."

When the cook prepared food and drinks for him, someone had already asked aloud, "Gorgion, is there any news today?"

Gorgion glanced at the crowd of diners, and glanced at Maximus lying next to the counter, and then said positively: "There is indeed important news today, especially for Massimus. important!"

Massimus, who was about to listen with his ears out, didn't hesitate to hold back, and immediately asked, "What's the news?"

"The news came from the Senate this afternoon. The question of whether to send a legion to the border guards finally came to fruition some time ago." Gorgian said solemnly, "Military Secretary Hilos told The Senate submitted a proposal to hire free people to form border troops to defend the northern border of Etruria and the southern border of Illyria. Archibedes of the Ministry of Finance attended the Senate instead of Chancellor of the Exchequer, A proposal was also submitted on 'requiring an additional 6% direct tax to address the issue of military expenses for the newly formed army ...' "

"Really increasing taxes?" Many diners said in unison.

Only Nelius shouted in surprise: "It only increased the tax by 6%, which is too little!"

As soon as he spoke, he was immediately reprimanded by others.

"Furthermore, the Minister of Household Registration, Rafias, also submitted a proposal." Gorgion frowned, and the loud noise in the tavern forced him to increase his volume. He continued: "He offered to 'extend the free people as Dior The period of citizenship of Nigeria has been extended from the original 5-6 years to more than 10 years. Only free people who have been employed by the kingdom and become soldiers of the border army can become full citizens of Dionia after the five-year service period expires. '

‘In addition, if freelancers are willing to rent land in the southern part of Iberia, then after 7 years of settlement there, they can smoothly become full citizens ...’ ”

Gorgion said, the noise in the tavern gradually disappeared, and eventually a strange quietness appeared, all focusing on Gorgion.

This made Gorgion a bit uncomfortable. He bowed his head and took a sip of beer, coughed a few times, then looked at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Massimus again: "Master Raphaas' proposal is correct Your influence is not great, because according to his statement in the Senate, the free people who had applied for registration before the proposal went into effect also implemented the original Immigration Law 5-6 years to become a full citizen ... So, Marcy Mums is the most affected. "

With that said, Massim's face turned pale.

"Is this old **** fainted! He dares to make such a proposal, isn't he afraid of being resentful by the free people of the whole kingdom?" A diner scolded immediately.

"What ’s so scary for him? He lives in the inner city and is protected by many guards, and we have some difficulties in getting in and out of the inner city, let alone seeing him. Besides, he dare to make such a proposal to change the already After implementing the Immigration Act for 20 years, it is impossible to get the support of King Daphs in advance, isn't it Gorgion? "Another diner analyzed calmly.

But Gorgion did not respond to his questioning, but instead bowed his head and drank.

"Massims ... and none of us should be in a hurry. Whether it's the Immigration Act or the Tax Act, this has been in place for almost two decades. It's not so easy to pass! For a long time, Kingdom citizens gathered to oppose, these proposals may be rejected by the Senate finally! "Said a diner with righteousness.

His words received a response from everyone, including the cook, and even Massimus felt refreshed and thought he saw hope.

At this time, Gorgion sighed and said, "In fact, these proposals have been approved ... In the afternoon, the various departments of the Turui City Hall, especially the inspection department, received emergency notifications. Officials are required to be vigilant and pay close attention to the situation in the city of Turui. During the period of promulgation of the bill, the stability of the order in the city must be maintained! ... "

"What ?! Passed? !! Such an important bill passed so quickly?"

"What are the veterans doing ?! Are they sleeping?"

...

The diners roared angrily to vent their surprise and uneasiness.

"The elders did not sleep because His Majesty King Daphs also introduced a bill that would divide the kingdom's territory into more than a dozen regions and add regional administrative agencies, with the highest position being the district administrator. It is said that The responsibilities are similar to those of the former wartime governor. They can govern all the towns in their area, and the power is quite large ... The elders must allow enough time to discuss this important proposal, and also think about being the chief executive of these areas. Candidate ... "Gorgion had an odd look on his face when he explained: He spent so many years in Turui, the first time he heard that four copies appeared in the Senate at the same time in one day. An important proposal related to the future development of the kingdom is definitely not a coincidence, but a masterpiece of that wise king!

"Isn't the Immigration Act and the Tax Act more important than this regional legislation?"

"I see, these elders only care about whether they can become that ... The district chief does not care about the interests of the people at all!"

"Yes, that's right!"

...

The quarrel in the pub gave Maximus, who was already depressed, a headache ~ www.readwn.com ~ He pushed the wine glass back to the cook and tried to push away the diners in front of him. .

"Mathims, are you all right?" Someone shouted with concern behind him.

Maximus didn't respond at all, his feet seemed to drag heavy things, and he staggered forward ...

After walking for a while, he came back to the building where he was renting, and then he turned back and looked at the pedestrians who came and went, with a sadness in his heart: I have made a huge sacrifice and have made up my mind Bring your family into this new kingdom! However, since I took my family out of the camp and came to this huge city, everything went wrong, and the news I heard today completely wiped out all previous plans for the future. This is Jupiter's answer to The punishment of my betrayal? Or is it because I didn't believe in Hades completely, so he didn't protect me at all? !! "

Although he had a hard life in the slave camp in those few years, he had been working hard because he had the goal of getting freedom early. But now when he is standing freely in this bustling city, he feels an unprecedented confusion: where is the future? !!
