In the evening, the Amendolara Senate is lit with candles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Davers, Cornerus, the five prominent citizens who had stood on the same stage with Corneros before, as well as the company captains led by Sesta, Adrianx, Cappus and Antonios, and even Davers insisted on calling Herps, Mersis, Ledes, Arcistes, and the captains of the various detachments, dozens of people gathered together to discuss the reconstruction of Amendolara.

As the sole consul for life, Davers naturally became the chief senator of the Senate, sitting in the middle of the rotunda chamber: "Citizens, the reconstruction of Amendora is a matter of many affairs, and time is pressing, and we must first complete the election of the members of the Senate. ”

Davers said solemnly: "The Senate, as an important authority of the city-state of Amendolara, is composed of the most experienced and intelligent elite of the citizens of the city-state, and it gives advice and advice to the consuls upwards, and selects candidates for the approval of the consuls, supervises the operation of the city-state downwards, from the examination of finances to the morals and customs of citizens, and has the power to propose bills. The senior officials of the city-state were also elected from among the members of the Senate, so the senators of the Senate must also have a certain administrative ability, which you lacked as mercenaries, but fortunately, the population of Amendolara is not large, so you must learn from practice and humbly ask Cornerus and other respected old citizens for advice......"

The sight of a twenty-year-old young man in front of him and a group of men in their thirties and forties nodding seriously in the back did not amuse Cornerus, but he was surprised: this young man, who was said to have come from a remote village in Thessaly and had never lived in the city, was it really the revelation of Hades?

In a trance, he consciously or unintentionally ignored Davers's partial alteration of the Senate's functions.

"Now I propose that the six men of the Senate, Cornerus, Trito Demors, Strombori, Scombras, and Rafias be the senators."

Except for Cornerus, who was a senator before the Senate, the other five were not, and Davers rewarded them for their previous efforts to stand up for the mercenaries and himself, and at the same time fulfilled his promise. With the exception of Cornerus, the other five couldn't help but smile.

"Agreed!" The team members in the venue all raised their hands, they were not completely blindly following Davers, but also out of guilt: they occupied other people's land and seized other people's rights, and they had to make up for it.

"Sesta, Adriankos, and Dracos, as the leaders of the mercenaries, should enter the Senate." Davers continued.

"Agreed!" Not only are the officers raising their hands to express their opinions, but the newly promoted veterans are also beginning to exercise their duties.

At this time, Sesta whispered a few words to Adrianx, stood up, walked to the center of the venue, and said loudly, "Adriankos and Dracos have entrusted me to express my gratitude to everyone here, especially Lord Consul!" When we came to Greater Greece, we only thought about earning some money and making ends meet, but we didn't expect to become a citizen of Amendolara, let alone enter the Senate! This is a favor given to us by the Archon and all of you, and we will not be able to repay it, and we will definitely contribute all our strength to Amendolara! ”

The applause rang out, and the officers of the former mercenaries applauded vigorously. Davers watched Sesta retreat from his seat, and had a new impression of the mercenary leader he had only come into contact with a few times.

"The twelve senior officers of the mercenaries, Phellisius, Antonios, Capus, Amintas, Alexis, Shiros, Hieronymus, Agacia, Epitenis, Zpit, Alpiones, and Ryders, as well as Mersis and Herps, the heads of their respective departments, I recommend them to become the senators of the Senate." Davers continued.

"Agreed!!" This time the voice of approval was louder.

Davers's gaze swept over the familiar faces of Mattonis, Olivers, Assistes, Giogris, and Maltius who were sitting in the back row, and said calmly: "As for the squad leaders and other personnel, I don't plan to recommend you to enter the Senate for the time being. ”

As soon as the words ended, someone in the back row let out a sigh, but no one dared to question Davers's words.

Davers continued to explain: "Because most of you are still very young (when you say this, Davers obviously didn't count yourself in, and others take it for granted), a few months ago, you were still soldiers, and you lack experience in managing the city-state and handling political affairs, but don't be discouraged, as long as you actively participate in the affairs of the city-state and work hard to improve yourself. As I said before, the Senate is always open to the good citizens of the city-state! ”

Davers's words of encouragement lifted the spirits of the squad leaders.

Davers went on to say to the new senators: "The senator of the Senate, though unpaid, is a noble member of the city-state, and I hope that you will prove by your performance that you are worthy of this high position." According to what I discussed with Cornerus before, once you enter the Senate, you will be a senator for life (this is the benefit that Davers gave Cornerus to them, and in fact, this is what Davers expected). But I do not wish that to be the case, and I will consult with you some rules concerning the senators of the Senate, and I think that anyone who is not fit for this position or who violates the laws of the city-state should be removed from the Senate or removed by the Senate. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly sank.

"The election of the senators of the Senate, I think this is the end. Cornerus, do you have anything to add? Davers politely asked his adjutant in a polite manner.

As the only former senator in this room, Cornerus had not had the opportunity to speak before because of Davers's strength, and now he felt the need to give a good lecture to these novices: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I want you to know that not only are the senators of the Senate not paid, but also the other administrative positions of Amendora are not paid even by a single opol, and it is the honor of every citizen to be able to serve the city-state!" ......" Cornerus took the opportunity to educate these new citizens of Amendolara, and then reminded Davers: "There are a hundred senators in the Senate of Amendolara, and it is far from enough—"

"If it's not enough, it's idle first, and then there are suitable candidates to make up for it later!" Davers interrupted him disapprovingly, so that he would not be constrained by the traditional system of Amendolara, and he did not want to listen to Cornerus's preaching. At the same time, he believed that the hasty replenishment of the number of senators would only reduce the quality and ability of the senators. And more than twenty senators of the Senate are enough for the population of Amendolara of only about five thousand people.

Cornerus opened his mouth, not persuading.

"What are the administrative positions in Amendolara now?" Davers continued to ask him.

"The city administrator, who assists the consuls in the affairs of the city-state, maintains order in the city, and administers the proceedings, has under the jurisdiction of the patrols, the fire brigade, and the prisons, and the position changes every year, the senate-" Cornerus looked at Davers, who was also staring at him, he hesitated for a moment, and then changed his words: "The senate will propose the candidates, and the consuls will be the most ...... Final decision ......"

Davers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Cornerus was still familiar: he was not very familiar with the various public offices of the Greek city-states, Athens and Sparta were just typical of them, and there were hundreds of Greek city-states, and their political systems, even if they were generally the same, were very different inside. But he was very familiar with the Roman system, and he had taken this course in the university in his previous life, and the system of Amendora was somewhat similar to that of Rome, and the position of city administrator was somewhat similar to that of the Roman magistrate. Therefore, his heart moved, and he said to Cornerus: "It seems that the duties of the city administrator are not only the same as those of the ruling adjutant, but also more comprehensive, and more acceptable to the citizens, I think that you will be held by Cornerus, and the post of ruling adjutant is my negligence, which is obviously redundant, and can be removed." ”
