ancient greece mediterranean ruler

Chapter 162
"Uh... it will definitely be very popular!" Andrea embarrassedly covered her mouth with her hands. After swallowing the delicious mutton, she sincerely praised her. At the same time, she also put forward her own opinion: "But the preparation of this food Someone needs to keep adding firewood, and it’s troublesome to start a fire to heat it.”

"Andrea, you are right. Therefore, to eat such a table of scalded beef and mutton, you need dedicated personnel to serve, and our charges will be more expensive. And it is not only scalded beef and mutton, but also scalded. Something else." Crystal explained, gesturing to the slave standing aside.

The slaves immediately brought over sliced ​​tripe, sheep's blood vessels, sea vegetables, etc. After blanching and tasting, everyone also thought they tasted good.

At this time, Davos said to Weisba and Bagule: "Look, after slaughtering a sheep, the fur can be used to make clothes to keep out the cold, the bones can be used to make soup, the meat can be eaten, and the intestines can be made into sausages and other uses. Other offal organs can also be made into delicacies... Almost the whole body of cattle and sheep can be sold for money. With our full promotion, Greeks will gradually like to eat beef and mutton (the Greeks and Romans also eat grains as their staple food), and Lucca The Lucania people are the best at herding, and Lucania’s cattle and sheep are famous throughout Magna Greece. In the future, Lucania’s livestock will be welcomed by the citizens of the Tua Union, and the life of the Lucania people will be better. Better..."

Weisba and Bagule did not expect that Daves would extend his influence to the lives of the Lucanians through this meal. They would think that a governor of a Greek city-state would consider how to make the lives of the Lucanians better. It made them feel strange and emotional, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Davos raised his glass: "Come on, let's continue drinking!"

........................

Eating novel delicacies, drinking novel beers, and having two beauties adjusting the atmosphere, the banquet was naturally a pleasant one for Weisba and the others.

After drinking and eating, three men were left in the living room.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Weispa asked directly: "Lord Archon, what did you mean when you said before that I could still be the leader of the tribe?"

"After you finish your labor and become citizens of the Tua Union, I will invite you to become a member of the Senate to make suggestions for the Lucarians living in the Tua Union and safeguard their interests. Isn't this equivalent to The leader of the tribe?!" Davos explained.

Weisba was a little moved after hearing this. After being a prisoner in Amendolara for nearly half a year, he understood clearly: Davos really wanted to keep the Lucanians, otherwise he would not have tried every means to save the Lucanians. Demihumans reduce the period of servitude.Most of the young people in the tribe also wanted to become citizens of the Tua Alliance and enjoy a prosperous life that they could not dream of in the mountains. However, as the leader of the tribe, he had concerns. Now Davos made him a promise.

Therefore, Weispa continued to speak under the influence of alcohol, and there was no restraint: "If I want my people to become your citizens, according to your regulations, it will probably take four or five years, which is too long. !" Weisba said with some dissatisfaction. After all, he is not young anymore, and every year passes.

"According to the "Tua Union Immigration Law", it does take four or five years for you to complete your labor service, apply to become a preliminary citizen, and then become a formal citizen. But now there is a special task. If your tribe can participate, Then after the matter is completed, I will apply to the Senate to turn all the men of your tribe into official citizens of Thurii. Not only can you become a senator of the Senate, but even Bagule, I also want to recommend him to become a member of the Senate!" Davos said something shocking.

When Bagule heard this, his expression also became agitated.

Of course Weisba was also excited, but he was much more experienced than Bagule after all. The fact that Daves could give them such favorable conditions showed that this task was not easy: "What is the task?" He asked a little cautiously .

Davos looked at the two of them and said word by word: "The leader of Avinogis in Laos has formed an alliance with the Tua Alliance and is ready to help us recapture Niutum."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked, and then fell into silence: The Tua Alliance is preparing to declare war on the Lucanians!There is no problem in letting Weisba and Bagule help the Tua Alliance fight the Greeks.But it was emotionally difficult for them to attack people of the same race. Although Lucania's tribes often fought with each other, massacres and genocide were not uncommon.

Davos saw that they were just silent and had no objections. He could guess what they were worried about, so he further said: "From now on, the Lucanians under the rule of the Tua Alliance will be the same as the Greeks. Not only will they enjoy the rights of alliance citizens, Rights and obligations, and you can continue to maintain your own cultural traditions and customs. The Alliance will not only not interfere, but will also protect them!"

Weisba was touched when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Can the gods we reverence continue to worship?!"

"Not only can you continue to worship, you can also build altars and temples for your gods. I heard. You Lucanians have an important festival called... um... Cow Festival?"

“The bullfighting festival (a celebration in which two bulls fight each other to celebrate and bless the prosperity of livestock),” Bagule interjected.

"After joining the Tua Alliance, we can definitely continue to hold the event! To make it even grander, let us Greeks also participate!" Davers said with great interest.

"Lord Archon, is what you said true?" Weisba was moved.

"I can swear to Hades!" Davos spread his hands flat, palms facing the sky, and said solemnly.

Weisba and Bagule were finally impressed by Daves's mind. Since the culture, customs, and religion of the Lucanians would not be changed, it would be equivalent to replacing the big leader who ruled the Lucanian tribe with Tu. The Alliance Senate and Davos, and if Lucania can be unified, it can reduce disputes and killings and give peace to Lucania!
Weisba found an honest reason for his compromise, so after a brief discussion with Bagule, he immediately expressed his willingness to join the Tua Alliance army and participate in the military operation to capture Niutum.

...........................

The next day, the Tua Alliance held an emergency meeting of the Senate again.

Because the Senate Chamber in Thurii had not yet been repaired, the meeting was held at the same location as the previous one, but was changed to Amendolara for the sake of confidentiality.Therefore, early in the morning, Solikos and other coachmen pulled these distinguished senators to the city of Amendolara.

There were two topics at this meeting: First, Asistes brought back the covenant signed by Avinogis himself, and the war against Lucania was about to begin, which made all the councilors excited; and the other One issue is mainly to allow the Weisba tribe to collectively become citizens of the Tua Union.

Although according to the "Immigration Law", many foreigners have become citizens or preparatory citizens before, the most typical example is Mariji who is sitting in the venue, but such a large number, and it is for Turiyi and Amendo The Lucanians, who had caused great harm to Laradu, became citizens of the Tua Union, which was difficult for many senators (especially the Turui senators) to accept.

Many people expressed objections, among which Polyxes' words were the most unpleasant. He protested loudly: "This act of the consul seriously hurts the feelings of our Amendolara and Thurii people. It is to try to destroy the Greeks." The civilized city turned into a barbaric and filthy stronghold of the Lucanians, and the people who had just survived the Lucanian war became their slaves again!"

Even Scombras and Stromboli, who had begun to gradually accept and support Davers, joined the ranks of opposition.

Antonios, Capos, Alexis and others stood up one after another to support Daves' decision. They believed that the Lucanians loved life and were civilized and polite like the Greeks. They also built roads to assist the plan. The Alliance defeated the Crotones, they really wanted to serve the Alliance!
Polyxes immediately retorted: "This is just a stop-gap measure for the cunning Lucarians to gain freedom. In short, you outsiders can't understand our pain at all!"

Polyxis' words angered the veterans of the original mercenary army, and the debate at the venue became fierce, even to the point of mutual abuse.

The rotating chairman Rafias rang the bell several times in an attempt to stop the quarrel, but was still ignored.

Davos had to stand up and shouted: "Please be quiet! Otherwise, please get out!"

The venue quickly returned to silence. Polyxis wanted to say something, but saw Davos's sharp eyes piercing him like knives, making him immediately lower his head in fear.

Davos looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Since everyone thinks that forming an alliance with Avinogis and capturing Niutum will be of great benefit to stabilizing the western side of the alliance and preventing the invasion of Lucania, then let us temporarily put aside Feelings of joy and other reasons, seriously consider this issue, after capturing Niutum, how will we govern it?"

Davos paused for a moment, and without waiting for anyone else to answer, continued: "According to what you just said, if we want to stabilize Niutum, we can only kill all the Lucanians in the city, or turn them all into As slaves, migrate to Thurii, and then immigrate our people there, right?”

This was a traditional practice during the Greek colonial era, and the senators who had previously opposed it had no objections.

"First of all, Niutum is a mountain city and it is located in a mountainous area. There is not much arable land and they can only rely on grazing. Let the sea-loving Greeks move to a mountain city surrounded by mountains and the land is not productive. How many people are willing to go? I can't OK, I believe you can give me an accurate answer."

The wise elders such as Cunogorata and Cornelus stood by and watched, and the others did not come forward to answer.

　Thanks to Infinite Angel jjjjjjj, Shulou Longyin, and Saikit for their rewards!
　　Updates continue!

　　Regarding the issue of eating hot pot with your hands, because this kind of eating has just appeared, utensils will be invented in the future, and of course it will not be chopsticks. How about a wooden spoon with a knife and fork?Haha, did you notice that the fork on the knife and fork is the double-stranded fork of Hades? It seems that Hades' faith is going to penetrate into people's lives.

　　As for spices, there is no spices used for shabu-shabu meat here, but sauces made from seafood. This thing has been around for a long time, and the production is different in each region. The most famous one is the fish made in Carthage. Dew, best-selling in the Mediterranean, will be mentioned later!
