Chapter 600 Selection of the Chief Executive ([-])
After Davos found out, he sent an envoy to negotiate.

Syracuse was under a low eaves at this time and had to bow his head, so how could he dare to disagree.

As a result, nearly 3000 people left Syracuse at once, and the leader was this Tellis.These thousands of people did not go to Leotini. Most of them came to Catanai under the persuasion of Tellis.At that time, Catanai occupied almost half of the Catania Plain and was in short supply of labor, so of course they accepted them without hesitation.As the leader of more than 2000 people, Tellis eventually became the elder of Dionia.

However, Tellis did not like to stay with other Sicilian senators, but was closer to the former mercenary senators.He once served as an inspector in Turiyi and also served in the Ministry of Military Affairs. He was able to put aside his airs as a veteran and actively participated in military training in the military camp. He actually eventually became a captain in the reserve team of the Turiyi Army. .

In the fifth year of Dioria, he served as the administrator of Niutum. The three years passed smoothly without any particularly outstanding governance performance. After all, Niutum was the first Lucania to be merged into the Dioria Alliance. The territory, successive chief executives have devoted their efforts to it, and the system, agriculture, trade, and public construction have been developed well. He only needs Xiao Gui and Cao to follow.At the end of his term, the evaluation of the Kingdom Officials Management Committee was "good".
But Davos found that the people of Niutum were reluctant to leave him, which was a bit special.You must know that Tellis had been in Sicily before and had no chance of contact with the Lucanians, but he was able to treat the Greeks and Lucanians equally from the bottom of his heart in Niutum, which is especially rare.

Therefore, Davos once again appointed him as the administrator of Vig City. During his tenure, his characteristics were once again displayed among the people of Bruti.Therefore, even though he had just left office less than two months ago, Davos still felt that he was a suitable candidate to become the administrator of Enona after Nicomachus.

What's going on today? !The position of administrator of Enona actually led to competition among four capable elders!This cheered up Davos.

After Cornerus again clarified the names of the four candidates to the senators, he announced that the voting had begun.

Each senator cut out a small piece of papyrus he carried with him, wrote the name of the senator he wanted to recommend with a pen, and then walked in order to the wooden table in front of Cornelus, with the A big ballot box.

The highest censor, Sesta, and the most senior judge, Terry Todemos, stood aside to supervise, mainly to prevent the senators from cheating and voting more.

Of course, if there are illiterate elders among the elders, they will raise their hands to indicate that an orderly officer and an inspector at the venue will come to him. The orderly officer will write the name whispered by the elders on the paper. Supervise whether he made a mistake.

For illiterate elders, it is actually very embarrassing to ask others to write for you in full public view.After one or two experiences, they are stimulated and often take the initiative to find teachers to learn literacy and writing in order to get out of this predicament as soon as possible. For example, most of the former mercenary veterans got rid of the title of illiterate for this reason.Now the senators who do not know Greek in the venue are mainly from the Puchetti people who were the last to enter the Senate.

After counting the votes, Adriancus got the most votes, followed by Tellis, Mylon again, and Nicomachus last. This was completely consistent with Davos's prior estimation: without him In the case of secret intervention, the former mercenary elders, as the largest group of elders, will mostly vote for their comrade Adrianx who gets along well with everyone.As for Nicomachus, even if ten years have passed, the resentment of the other city elders in Magna Graecia towards the Locris has not been completely eliminated. Otherwise, the number of votes he received would not be significantly different from the other three, and would not be in line with his ability. match.

Davos sighed secretly and looked at Nick Marcus, but there was no frustrated look on his face, and he had obviously expected this.

When Davos announced Adrianx as the new administrator of Enona, he stood up and thanked Davos, as well as the other elders.

According to the Senate's request and Turui's itinerary to Enona, Adriancus must arrive in Enona within eight days to take office.This time is not urgent, but it is not too generous either.

Before leaving, he must go to the palace to listen to some suggestions from King Davos for him to take office, and explain some tasks and requirements. At the same time, he must also learn about Egypt from important officials of the kingdom such as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister of Commerce. Detailed information on all aspects of Nona.Of course, he can also make some requests to Davos and the ministers, such as applying for some funds, or transferring a few middle- and lower-level officials from various departments that he thinks are trustworthy... Whether it is accurate or not depends on whether Davos and the ministers are agreed.

Finally, he had to get a letter of inauguration with the king's seal and signature before he could leave. Otherwise, when he arrived in Enona, without a formal document, local officials would not listen to his instructions.

Although Adriankes is not the most suitable candidate for the chief executive of Enona in Davers' mind, Adriankes' performance during the past ten years has exceeded his expectations and given him many surprises, so he There are still high expectations for his future performance.

"My lords, does anyone else have any important proposals to make?" Cornelus asked loudly.

No one responded in the venue, and it became a little quiet.

Davos waited for a while and was about to get up and go back to the palace.Over the years, he gradually began to separate the kingdom's internal affairs from the Senate's review, approval, and establishment of various bills in Dionysia, and transferred them to the palace for handling.In addition to the selection of new senators, the selection of important official positions, the discussion of important bills, the establishment of new bills, war, diplomacy and other major events, he will attend the Grand Council and make the final decision. At other times, he will be in the palace. Stay in the general office, handling complicated kingdom affairs.

When Davos left, the senators who held important official positions in the kingdom, such as Marij, Melses, and Felixius, would also get up and leave to go to the palace for work.Because there is no telling when, Davos will send someone to ask them about a certain matter under their jurisdiction.

Laodicean anxiously touched Antonios next to him with his hand, gesturing for him to stand up and speak.

But Antonios sat still.

Seeing that Davos had stood up, Laodissian couldn't help but stood up suddenly: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal to make, please wait a moment!"

Antonios turned his head quickly and warned in a low voice: "Laodissian, didn't I tell you not to mention this today! Sit down!"

Laodicean ignored him and remained standing.

Davos showed a playful expression and sat down slowly: "Does Lord Laodicean have any important proposals to make?"

"Your Majesty, a new administrator of Enona has just been elected." Laodicean said anxiously: "Why not take this opportunity to elect a new administrator of Naxos? Lord Stromboli's term of office It’s over in four days!”

"Laodissian, what do you mean by this! Before Stromboli comes back, you have to start selecting the next administrator of Naxos!" Tritodemus shouted dissatisfied, because Being both from Amendolara and having worked together for so many years, he and Stromboli had a good relationship.

Laodicean asked Tritodemus for help. When he saw that he was unhappy, he immediately explained with a smile: "Master Tritodemus, Master Stromboli has not written a letter to the Senate before. Well, he will no longer run for the position of the next Chief Executive of Naxos! We have chosen a successor here and handed over to him early, which will allow him to leave Naxos with peace of mind. He has worked hard for three years. Xos, there have been many such examples in the past.”

"Lord Laodicean is quite concerned about his hometown, and his thoughts are very thoughtful." Before Tritodemus could speak, Davos interjected with a half-smile: "But even if Stromboli leaves, There will be no administrative officer in Naxos for ten to twenty days, and there are still a few administrative lieutenants. There will be no trouble in Naxos, so you don’t have to worry too much."

"Your Majesty, you... you are right." Laodicean said bravely: "It's just... it's just that if this period of time can be shortened, wouldn't it be safer?"

"Well, you're right." Davos nodded and suddenly laughed: "Sure... but safe about what?!"

Antonios, who had been paying attention to Davos, felt a little uneasy.

Laodicean was stunned by Davos' strange question and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Lord Laodicean, as a senator, you should look at the entire kingdom, not just your hometown!" Davos's tone was very soft, but he often called the senators by their first names, like this The honorific title "Sir" was rarely used, and the elders in the venue felt strange.

Davos added with emphasis: "The selection of the new chief executive of Naxos will be carried out after Stromboli returns. If Stromboli has any important matters that have not been dealt with, we can even do it." Approval for him to postpone his term! Okay, that’s it.”

After Davos finished speaking, he ignored Laodicean. Before leaving his seat, he cast a meaningful glance in the direction of Antonios, which made Antonios' heart beat wildly: His Majesty must know about that!

For thousands of years, the Ofanto River has flowed from west to east in the land of Apulia. Year after year, the silt brought from the Apennine Mountains has turned both sides of the middle and lower reaches into fertile land. However, It became the boundary river between the Dauni and Pucheti people.In order to monopolize this land, the two tribes have fought continuously for hundreds of years. The bones of countless warriors were buried on this land, which also made up for the fertility of the land consumed by crops.
