Living in a villa, this is a fashion that has risen in the Kingdom of Dioonia in recent years, the earliest originated from Davers, he built a villa on the hill not far from the Turiyi Hot Spring Baths, and took the whole family to the northern mountains to escape the heat, relax, and soak in the hot spring in the summer, which was deeply loved by children.

After an occasional feast, the senators and ministers discovered the benefits of staying in the villas, and the hills in the northern mountains, which were sparsely populated, barren and difficult to navigate, soon became sought-after, and the wealthy and well-established citizens of the Turiy lined up to buy them at the Ministry of Agriculture, until the local council of the Turiyi had to pass a bill restricting the over-sale of the hills in the Turriyi territory, and the size of the villas was strictly regulated, and the trees in other areas were not allowed to be cut down at will.

The citizens of Turriy had no choice but to turn their attention to Amendolara, Bissinia, and Castelón in the core area of Turii, and soon forced the local councils of these three towns to restrict the sale of mountains...... Eventually, this trend swept across the kingdom, leading the Senate to enact a provision in the Laws of the Kingdom of Dioonia for "the sale of hills and the construction of villas".

Anterapolis only showed his concern in this way, he knew that his brother was a firm character and not an easily persuaded man, just as he had persuaded Aristiras to propose to His Majesty Davos that he should "no longer be the chief of intelligence and become an administrator", believing that with his brother's talents, he could have a more brilliant future, but Aristilas sternly refused, and warned him not to bring up the matter in the future.

Antrapolis stopped talking, but Aristilas asked, "What are you here for?" ”

"Big brother, I came over to see you today, can't I?!" Antrapolis said dissatisfied.

"Boris is here!" With a cordial shout, a woman came out of the main building.

"Sister-in-law!" Antrapolis shouted respectfully.

The person who came was none other than Asuna, the wife of Aristiras.

"It's been a long time since you've been to our house." Asuna said with a mocking smile.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm not here, haven't I been holding public office in the field all these years, I just came back from Hibernian last month, and I've been busy going through all kinds of handover procedures these days...... No, I just came here as soon as I was done. Antrapolis hurriedly explained.

"Since it's a rare visit, let's have dinner together at home tonight! I've asked the servants to prepare, you have brought your brother and sister Coriath with you, and Lirea (Asuna's daughter) also misses her brother Anduoaks, so we'll have a good time together as a family tonight! ”

With Asuna said with an enthusiastic expression, Antrapolis looked at his brother, who knew that Aristiras rarely held parties at home.

But at this moment, Aristilas quickly said, "Your sister-in-law has spoken, send your servants home quickly, and call your siblings and children here." ”

Asuna looked at her husband, smiled charmingly, and then said, "Princess Christoya has a little urgent matter for me to do, I will rush back in the afternoon, and you two will talk slowly at home first." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, you go get busy first." With a smile on his face, Antrapolis watched as Asuna left the mansion with the two slave girls.

As a senator, he is so respectful to Asuna, not entirely because she is his sister-in-law, but also because she used to be Christoya's personal slave girl, and now she is still the princess's right-hand man in business, and she is deeply trusted by King Davers's family, plus Aristiras is King Davers's confidant, so it is not wrong for Antrapolis to say that his brother is an important minister of the kingdom just now, and many senators and city administrators seem to have prominent status, In fact, in the hearts of the increasingly powerful King Davers, it is not as good as a word from the couple.

However, the Aristias usually kept a low profile and rarely interacted with others. Aristiras, who has always been cold to everyone, seems gentle in the face of his wife, and Asuna always takes the idea of family matters, according to rumors, it was Asuna who took the initiative to pursue it, and Princess Christoya was the matchmaker, and the two came together. Antrapolis thought that this rumor was very credible, otherwise with his brother's cold personality, he would still be single.

Antrapolis pretended not to see a hint of a smile on the corner of Aristiras' lips as he looked at Asuna leaving, and he said seriously: "Big brother, I have an important matter this time, please help me get an idea." ”

Aristiras immediately became serious: "Go to my study and speak." ”

"Big brother, I would like to respond to the call of His Majesty Davers and follow the army to the Latin region ......," said Anterapolis in the study.

It turned out that Davers not only provided an opportunity for merchants who donated grain to the kingdom, but also issued a call for the senators of the senate who had no suitable positions for the time being, and could only serve as idle posts, hoping that they could voluntarily go to the Latium region with the army and serve in various public offices in the captured areas in the future, so as to better stabilize the occupied areas......

Aristias didn't seem surprised, and there was no trace of surprise on his face, but he asked softly, "Why did you choose to go to Latim?" ”

"Big brother, you know, I returned to Turii after the expiration of my position as Governor of Hibernian, and the Council of the Kingdom Officials originally evaluated my administrative performance in Hibernian, but I lost to Bagul in the election for the position of Governor of Cosenza, and now that the Governors and other high-ranking positions in the various cities of the Kingdom are full, I don't know when I will be able to take office again, I think...... It is better to follow His Majesty Davos to Latim......" Antrapolis said what he really thought.

"Isn't there still a vacant position for Castelón's chief executive?" Aristilas said.

"Is the chief executive of Castelon still called the chief executive! I don't want to have a Lucias on my head pointing fingers at me! Antrapolis shook his head.

A few years ago, in order to unify resources and highlight the central position of Turiy in the kingdom, Davers established the Turiy Region, and Bissinia, Castelón, and Amendolara were all incorporated into this region, and their administrators were all under the jurisdiction of the Turiyi Administrator, and Lucias had been serving as the Turiy Administrator for many years, and his prestige was very high, and most of these administrators did not dare to disobey his orders.

"Actually, after Your Majesty proposed this plan in the Senate, I wanted to suggest that you go to Latinum, but I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly." Aristilas had a relieved expression on his face, despite the fact that he rarely contacted Antrapolis, in fact, he had been paying attention to his brother's performance in the political arena.

"You support me too?!" When Antrapolis heard this, his heart was a little more firm, but he still said worriedly: "What I am worried about now is that Latin is too far away from the center of the kingdom, the location is remote, and he will not get too much attention in that place, and if he stays there for too long, he will miss other good opportunities. In addition, the area is full of aliens, and it is not adjacent to the kingdom, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to govern, in case of riots......"

Aristilas listened carefully to his brother's words, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about not being taken seriously there, as far as I know, Your Majesty attaches much more importance to Rome than you think, long before the South Italy War, he asked me to establish a news channel against Rome, and after the South Iran War, he increased his investment in Roman intelligence collection, and asked me to report to him every other month on the situation in Latinm, and in the second half of last year, His Majesty even requested, 'As long as there is a new situation in Rome, report to him immediately' …… Did you know that in the military conference room of the royal palace there is a map of Italy and Sicily made of clay? ”

"I know, I've heard it's beautifully made!" Antrapolis nodded in reply.

"Among all the models of the other city-states, the model of Rome is the largest, and the only one made of red clay, which is very eye-catching, which shows that His Majesty attaches more importance to Rome than even to Carthage, so this time he will bring you administrative officials with him, which has never happened before, I am afraid that what he wants is to turn Rome and the Latin allies into the territory of the Kingdom of Dionia, so you don't have to worry about not getting the kingdom's attention there......"

Speaking of this, Antrapolis was completely worried, and he understood that as long as King Davers paid attention, the resources of the kingdom might be greatly tilted towards the Latin region, and safety would naturally be guaranteed.

"Polis!" Aristirath said with a serious expression: "Since you have chosen to take risks instead of resigning to mediocrity, then when you arrive in Radium, don't be afraid of difficulties!" You have to have an in-depth understanding of the living customs of the various ethnic groups in that area, and try to find out how to govern the area there well and establish your reputation there...... When the region of Latin is fully incorporated into the kingdom, you must be the patriarch who knows it best! In this way, when there is an important vacancy or important issue in Radim, His Majesty will think of you first, just like Bagul in Lucania and Sedorum in Buruti, you have missed a great opportunity in Katanai more than ten years ago, don't miss it again this time! ”

Antrapolis understood what his brother meant by "missed opportunities": Dionia, who had just taken over the southeastern part of Sicily, was born and raised in Catanay and successfully led the great rebellion against Syracuse, and thus became the Senate and the administrator of Catanay, and he was supposed to build on this and become the voice of Sicily in the kingdom and the prominent figure in the Senate, but he ended up screwing up himself due to his lack of administrative experience.

Now Aristiras's expectations both stressed him and lifted his spirits, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't worry, this time I won't miss it easily!" ”
