Kunogorata sighed with a sad expression and said, "Amendolara built these warehouses and hotels, and Davers originally hoped to increase the revenue of the treasury and benefit the people. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info you alone have all these warehouses and hotels, and we are still outsiders, what do you make the Amendolars think! I want to do business and manage a city-state, the principle is the same, not just to make money, but also to win hearts and minds! Kunogorata admonished his son, and he was tempted to say that Davers was a model for Sostatus to follow. After observing this time, he discovered that the young leader was not only a military talent, but also a political genius. Just look at every proposal he puts forward, always from the perspective of the city-state, from the perspective of the people, and rarely take care of his private interests, so it makes people forget that he is actually the only consul for life. As long as Davers can stay that way, Kunograta is willing to drive him.

"Father...... I understand. After thinking about it, Sostatus replied with a little reluctance.

"It's good to understand." Kunograta smiled with relief, he remembered something, and then asked, "Sostatus, it seems that you are preparing to go into business, and you are not going to go to public office?" ”

"Isn't it possible in the Tuahian Union to hold public office and do business at the same time?" Sostatus asked, confused.

"Absolutely. Since you like to stay in the market, you might as well become a tax collector under Mariji, but you have to pass the test. ”

"Testing?"

"I don't know how to count, how can I be a tax collector!"

"It's too easy for me."

"In a few days, the Tuafa Union Public Service Act, proposed by the Consul Davers, will be promulgated, and all Tuafa citizens will have the right to hold public office and receive remuneration." Kunogorata decided to give his son a thorough explanation.

"Isn't that the same as Athens!" Sostatus exclaimed.

"It's not quite the same as Athens, you'll know then." Kunogorata said calmly, but he sighed in his heart: The promulgation of this law will make the people who already support Davers very much, I am afraid that they will love him even more! What an amazing young man who dares to think and do!

Three months after the signing of the peace agreement between the Tuafa Union and Crotone, the road from the Sini River crossing to Turrij was completed, and the Lucanians who participated in the construction of the road were rewarded by the Tua Union Senate on the same day: minus six months of hard labor.

Since then, the Lucanians have only one and a half years of servitude left (two and a half years of servitude have been reduced for the battle against Crotone). And because of the capture of Melansius and other high-ranking officers, it was reduced by another half a year. ）。 Of course, they and the Crotone captives had to continue to repair the road to Castron.

After the road between Heraclia and Turriy was repaired, the wide, flat, and sturdy avenues made it possible for pedestrians and pack carts to travel faster, reducing the travel time by at least two-fifths, especially for vehicles.

In fact, when the slaves and captives had straightened out the process of building the road, the progress was very fast, and the main difficulty was in the bridge, which had to pass through four rivers, except for the Sini River, which was on the border between Amendolara and Heracles, and there were originally pontoon bridges, and it was impossible to enter Heraclia to build bridges, and three more bridges had to be built. Moreover, Davers demanded that flat bridges must be built, not pontoon bridges and arch bridges, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods.

Little Heraclyde spent most of his time thinking about how to build bridges, not only from his father, but also from experienced carpenters, and even from two Pythagorean apprentices on what kind of geometric supports would make a bridge stronger. When he matured his mind, he presented his plan to Davers, which Davers agreed, but the consul demanded that the captives not be allowed to build the bridge, but that the citizen soldiers should participate in the construction.

At the same time, Davos also gave an order: on the day of the army's training day, the soldiers must participate in the construction of the road in the morning. Davers wanted to equip the soldiers with the skills to build roads and bridges in preparation for future marches and battles.

Little Heraclyde instructed the soldiers to tie the felled wood in groups of two, sharpen one end and drive it diagonally into the riverbed, and then drive the other set of logs into the riverbed symmetrically and diagonally ten meters parallel to the stump, and then erect a thick piece of wood between the two sets of wood, which is stuck in the gap at the top of the wood (because it is two pieces of wood fixed in a group), and tie it tightly and firmly, so that the row of piers is ready. Then lay wooden planks on the piers to make the bridge deck, and the main body of the bridge is completed. The subsequent work is much easier, making guardrails and adding supports to the piers to prevent long-term water impact...... And so on, it took seven days for the first flat bridge fifteen meters long and nine meters wide to cross the Burano River.

With the experience of the first bridge, the subsequent bridge construction work was faster...... When it came time to build the third bridge, it took only two days to complete.

When Davers heard this, he praised it and asked Hraccride Jr. to codify the methods and steps for the construction of wooden bridges into the Tuafa Union Military Law to guide the march to war.

Little Heraclyde was encouraged, but then he had another headache, for it was even more difficult to build a bridge over the Kratti River, which was still more than twenty meters wide and too deep to be crossed, even though it was built on the site of the original pontoon bridge west of the town of Turiyi, with a delta in between. Little Heraclyde had to figure out how to drive the bridge piles into the riverbed more easily and steadily?

While he was meditating, in order to encourage and stimulate him, Davers also said: "Now the Tua Alliance is only building wooden bridges, in the future we will build stone bridges, and we will also be able to pass through three-story slurry warships under the bridges, if you can do it, then you will become a master of bridge building, and will be remembered by future generations!" ”

Davers's words put pressure on little Heraclyde, and at the same time fueled his fighting spirit......

A few days later, the reconstruction of the city of Turriy came to an end, and countless freedmen flocked to the registry office, and the registrar Rafias, who received tens of thousands of applications to become citizens of Turi, was so busy that he had to ask the Senate for additional personnel.

The Senate was also meeting to discuss the construction of a large square to accommodate tens of thousands of citizens for the assembly and the assembly of troops for the Coalition to go on a campaign.

"I have no objection to the construction of the Grand Plaza. As you can see from Lafias's distress letter, our full citizens can easily exceed 10,000 in a few years. After nearly half a year of honing his tenure as the city administrator of Amendolara, and especially the three months of rebuilding Turiyi, Cornerus has gained experience and self-confidence, and he has been able to talk and laugh freely in front of dozens of senators, and it has also caused a group of senators to laugh knowingly.

Cornerus then questioned: "But I have doubts about the need for a meeting hall of 600 people in the Senate. At present, the number of people in the Senate is less than 50, and building such a large meeting hall not only wastes the manpower and materials for the reconstruction of the city of Turiyi, but also makes it difficult for us to sit in such a large hall to discuss topics. ”

Cornerus's words were echoed by some of the senators.

At this time, Davers stood up from the grass (the elders of the Tua League were meeting in the open space of the camp, because the synagogue had not yet been built), and immediately attracted everyone's attention, not only because the construction of the Great Council Hall was his proposal, but also for the Turriy senators who had just survived the catastrophe, Davers was in awe of the supreme power of the new alliance who had saved Turii twice, and as the supreme power of the new alliance.

"The rebuilding of Turiyi is not only about rebuilding the homes of our people, but also about thinking and planning for the future of the Alliance, so we have built better roads, we have built better bridges, we have built our ports in a better location, we have built bigger squares, we have built more orderly neighborhoods, we have built elevated water bridges that have never been seen before...... In the future, the new city of Turiyi will be one of the most beautiful city-states in Greater Greece and the entire Greek world! Then, the Senate is the center of power of the Alliance, and the elites of the League have to discuss and decide every day where the League will live and die, develop and prosper, and the places that the people always pay attention to and which the neighbors often visit remain unchanged as before, and we can be simple and economical, but the people will not agree, they will say, 'Look, that little Senate is completely incompatible with our beautiful city, and it has made our beautiful Turiyi ugly!' ’”

The patriarchs chuckled, and many nodded their heads in acknowledging that Davers was right.

At this time, someone said, "Your Excellency, we ...... You can make the council hall look better, but you don't have to build it that big. ”

Davers felt that the voice was a little unfamiliar, and looked fixedly, but it was Polyxis, whom he had met before, and he nodded and said, "I propose to build a venue for six hundred people, I am thinking about it for the future." The elders of Amendolara know that half a year ago there were only more than 20 people in the Senate, and now it is close to 50 people, maybe in the future we will have to let other city-states or tribes join our alliance, should we include the elites and tribal leaders of their city-states in our Senate, just like we are doing now, so that the new city-states and the alliance can be smoothly integrated into one, so as to stabilize the hearts of the new people and ensure their interests?! For example, a year later, the Vespa clan asked to join us as citizens of the Union. Castron, for example, may one day ask to join the league as well......"

The elder Amendolara knew that Davers had a plan to attack Lucania, and this time he successfully repelled Crotone and merged with Turiyi, which convinced them of Davers's ability, so they had no objections.
