Ladies and gentlemen, as far as I know, when the Third Legion first occupied Ellona, the Campanias were afraid of the kingdom, they did not want to face the threat of a stronger nation while fighting against the Samonai, and the Campanian League signed the alliance treaty with us with trepidation, I think they were psychologically resistant to us at that time, but after all these years we ...... Especially with the efforts of Enona, the fear of the Campanians is disappearing, but the love for the kingdom is growing! Many Campanians think that our Kingdom of Ionia is a very wealthy, culturally rich, and friendly Greek kingdom, and that they can find work in the territory of the kingdom, earn money to support their families, and are not too exploited, so by now about 800 Campanians have officially become Ionian citizens in Enona, and about 1,400 Campanians have become reserve citizens. And there are about 3,000 Campanians registered who want to become Ionian citizens, and the number is growing! ……”

When Assistes finished speaking, the senators burst into applause, this time apparently not out of etiquette, but in recognition of his achievements in Enona over the years, and at the same time proud of the fact that his kingdom had been recognized by the people of a powerful alliance of city-states in Italy.

After the applause subsided, Hermon stood up: "Lord Asistes, the town of Enona is special, and it is special in that it borders not only the Campanians, but also the Samoneh. Do you do the same to the rebellious Samonai who are also part of the Theorian League, so that the Enona will also be a bridge between the Samonai and the kingdom? ”

Compared to the previous question, this question is a little better to answer, and it is completely another question to be scored, so Assistes nodded to Hmon tacitly: "Thank you, Lord Hermon, for your question!" It is true that Enona is also bordered by the Samonai people, mainly the Kautini, one of the four major tribes of the Samonai. However, unlike the Campanian League, Enona is not the only kingdom territory bordering the Samoneans, as Kopsa and the Free City of Potentia are both neighbors of the Samoneans, and all three of us have been working hard to improve relations with the Samones.

The Samonians are, after all, different from the Campanians, they are not Greeks, their customs are completely different from ours, and they have always been hostile to the Campanians in the past, and they are clearly wary of our kingdom. Despite my attempts to make it as easy as possible for the Samonai to enter the city of Enona to trade or work, there have been very few Samonai people entering the city for several years...... But since I decided three years ago to establish the town of Barparia in the valley of Nuceria, north of Enona, next to Cautini, the town has grown rapidly—"

When Arcisstes said this, Davers suddenly spoke, "Laconia...... Is the head of this town of Kautini Quinduk? ”

"Your Majesty, it is none other than the leader of the Kautini tribe who was captured by you, Quinduk, who turned out to be the head of the largest Kautini tribe in Laconia." Assistes replied, "He treats us Dionya fairly kindly. ”

Davers nodded. When Samonay's invasion of Portentia was defeated, several noble Samonai chieftains were captured, Quinnduk, Gellney, and even Torek, the great leader of Penteni, were all prisoners, and for some purpose, Davers treated them kindly, and even let them stay in Turiyi for a while, treating them like VIPs, and finally released back to Samonai with other captives, it seems that not only Gellni, but Quinduk also changed his attitude towards Dionia......

Seeing that Davos was not speaking, Assistes continued: "We all know that the Samonai people live in the mountains, mainly by grazing herds, where food is scarce and not enough to feed a large population, so for decades it is mainly the Cautini who have been attacking the Campanian League in order to obtain more land. Ten years ago, the Samonai attacked Pothenia and were finally defeated by His Majesty's army, and had to become our allies.

And in the town of Bapariya, we have built a market to sell grain and other food to the Samonai, who can barter with us with any goods, without having to use gold or silver coins, and of course the ore, game, and cattle they bring...... We have to make an appraisal first, and we try to be as fair as possible. Over time, the Samonai who traded with us gradually abandoned their guards, and in order to obtain more grain to bring back to the tribe, many of them began to enter the town of Baparia, and accepted the employment of the townspeople's citizens to cut down trees, clear wasteland, and cultivate farmland...... in exchange for payment. Today, the town of Barparia is at its busiest, with nearly 300 Samonai people working in the town in a single day.

At the same time, they are also slowly beginning to accept some of our customs, such as playing rugby, many Samonai people like this kind of sport with fierce body collisions, which is very suitable for fierce Samonai warriors to play, I believe that in another year or two, there will be a team of Samonai people to participate in the kingdom's rugby finals......"

At this time, Davers added: "This year there is a team of Samonai people who have been invited by Turiyi to play, and it is from Abenirum near Kopsa. ”

Assistes was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that Lord Xima has done a better job than me in this regard. ”

Another person stood up in the group of senators: "Lord Asistes, I wonder how the faith of Hades is spreading in the Campania region?" ”

Asistes saw that the questioner was Plesinus. As the priest of the scepter of the temple of Hades, Plecinas would certainly have some knowledge of the development of the temples in the cities, and it is actually still a matter of time to ask this question. So while Yasistes nodded to Plesinath, his eyes glanced at Marigi in the corner of the room.

He knew in his heart that although Marigi was one of the few senators of Persian origin in the kingdom, and seemed to be a loner in the Senate meeting, he was in fact a liaison between the former mercenary senators and other senators, and of course behind him stood King Davers. Therefore, in today's questioning, three questions in a row have focused on the most outstanding aspects of his six years in Enona, obviously from Davers' instructions.

He suppressed his gratitude to King Davers and said as calmly as possible: "Although the Hades Temple in Enona is not under the jurisdiction of the City Hall, the City Hall is also trying to help the development of the Hades Temple, such as selling grain and medicinal herbs to the Temple at a very low price every time, and even providing labor and doctors when the Temple is short of manpower. And for the Campanias and Samonai who entered Enona, we did a lot of guidance to ask for help in the temple if they were in trouble......

Over the years, the Hades Temple has rescued countless hungry, homeless, and sick people...... Outsiders with all kinds of difficulties also made them return to their mother country with gratitude, and they were successively in Pompeii, in Naples, and in Sorentum...... Even some of the Samonai tribes built a number of small Hades altars. Pompeii even began to celebrate Hades with Edona on September 9 every year.

The Samonai were slightly different in that they not only came to believe in Hades, but also had a greater respect for Hercules. Therefore, Enona not only built the temple of Hades but also the temple of Hercules in the town of Baparia, and every year on May 20, many Samonai people would come to Barparia to actively participate in the Hercules and other competitions......"

After Asistes finished speaking, Plesinas immediately said: "Thanks to Lord Asistes for his help over the years, Hades' faith can quickly spread in central Italy!" ”

After Plecinas sat down, another senator stood up, and this was Bruti Senator Crerou. As a young senator, he asked a less polite question: "Lord Asistes, as far as I know, before you took office, the territory of Enona was full of forests and huge trees, and in the six years you were in power, almost all the trees in the territory were cut down, don't you think this is a bit too much?!" ”

Assistes smiled and replied, "Thank you, Lord Creru, for your concern about the surroundings of Enona!" For this question, I would like to explain. First of all, the cutting down of trees in Enona was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, not against the law and arbitrarily. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Minister of Agriculture, Burcos. Ten years ago, Burkos had resigned as agricultural officer because of the Polyxis case, and Bachilipi, who took over the position, died of illness a few years later, at the time when the kingdom's agriculture was at its busiest, and Great Greece received too many new citizens, whose fields needed to be guided and supervised, and the newly acquired land in Mesapi and Puchetti urgently needed planning and rational distribution, so the Ministry of Agriculture urgently needed a strong leader, and Davos again called Burkos general. Under his persuasion, Burkos returned to his position, both familiar and unfamiliar, and remained in the present.

At this moment, Bulkes thought back for a moment, and then said, "This is indeed what the Ministry of Agriculture agreed. Six years ago, Lord Acystes made a request to His Majesty, and after consultation with us, His Majesty decided to assign to Enona the majority of the amount of trees that were allowed to be cut down in various parts of the kingdom each year, which may have given you the impression that you were cutting down on a large scale, Lord Creru. ”
