Chapter 19 Election of the Chief Executive (2)

When Davers found out, he sent an envoy to negotiate.

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

As a result, nearly 3,000 people left Syracuse at once, and the leader was this Telis. This mighty crowd of thousands did not go to Leotinius, and most of them, persuaded by Thelis, came to Catanay. At that time, Catanay occupied almost half of the Catania plain, and was short of population labor, so of course he did not hesitate to accept them. As the leader of more than 2,000 people, Telis eventually became the patriarch of Ionia as well.

However, TΓ©liss did not like to be with the other Sicilian senators, and instead became closer to the former mercenary senators. He had served as an inspector in the Turriy and a member of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he was able to put down the patriarch's shelf, actively participate in military training in the barracks, and eventually became a captain in the reserve of the Turriy Legion.

After all, Niutum was the first Lucanian territory to be incorporated into the Diorian Alliance, and successive governors have devoted their efforts to it, whether it is the system or agriculture, trade, and public construction have been well developed, he only needs to follow the rules. At the end of the term, the evaluation of the Council of the Management of Kingdom Officials was "good",

But it's a bit peculiar that Davers found out that the people of Niutum were so attached to his departure. It is important to know that Thelis, who had been in Sicily before, had no contact with the Lucanians, but it was especially rare that he was able to treat the Greeks and the Lucanians equally from the bottom of his heart in Niutum.

Davos reappointed him as the Administrator of Vig City, and during his tenure he was again evident among the people of Bruty. So, although he has only been out of office for less than two months, Davers still feels that he is the right person to be the next administrator of Enona after Nico Marcus.

What's going on today?! The position of the chief executive of Enona has actually led to the competition of four capable veterans! This lifted Davers' spirits as well.

After re-ascertaining the names of the four candidates to the senators, Cornerus announced the opening of the voting.

The senators cut out a small piece of papyrus from the papyrus they had carried, wrote down with a pen the name of the senator they wished to elect, and then walked in order to the wooden table in front of Cornerus, on which was a large ballot box.

Supreme Ombudsman Sesta and Supreme Judge Trito De Mos stood by to oversee the main thing to prevent the senators from cheating and voting more.

Of course, if one of the elders was illiterate, they would raise their hands, and then an orderly and an inspector would come to him, and the orderly would write down the name of the patriarch in a whispered piece of paper, and the inspector would be on hand to monitor whether he had made any mistakes.

For illiterate veterans, it is actually a very embarrassing thing to ask someone else to write in full view. After one or two experiences, they are often stimulated to go to a teacher to learn literacy and writing, so as to get out of this dilemma as soon as possible, for example, most of the former mercenary veterans have escaped the title of illiteracy for this reason. The Greek-speaking senators in the present were mainly from the Puchetti, who had entered the Senate at the latest.

After counting the votes, Adriankos received the most votes in the end, followed by Thelis, then Milon, and finally Nicomarcus, which is completely consistent with Davers's prior estimate: without his covert interference, the former mercenary veterans, as the largest group of senators, will mostly vote for Adriankos, who gets along well with everyone. As for Nikomachus, even after ten years, the resentment of the other city elders of Greater Greece against the Lockley people has not been completely eliminated, otherwise he would not have received a huge difference in votes with the other three, and his ability would not have matched it at all.

Davers sighed and looked at Nick Marcus, but there was no frustration on his face, which he had clearly anticipated.

When Davers announced Adrianques as the new administrator of Enona, he stood up and thanked Davers, as well as the other senators.

According to the requirements of the Senate and the itinerary of Turiyi to Ionona, Adrianques had to arrive in Enona within eight days to take up his post. It's not a tight schedule, but it's not too generous either.

Before leaving, he had to go to the royal palace to listen to some of the advice given to him by King Davers, give him some tasks and requirements, and at the same time learn the details of various aspects of Enona from the important officials of the kingdom, such as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of War, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister of Commerce. Of course, he could also make some requests to Davers and the ministers, such as applying for some funding or transferring a few mid- and lower-level officials in the departments that he considered trustworthy...... Whether it is allowed or not depends on whether Davers and the ministers agree.

Finally, he had to get a letter of inauguration signed by the king before he could leave, otherwise the local officials would not have listened to him without an official document in Honora.

Although Adrianx is not the most suitable candidate for the post of chief executive of Enona in Davers's mind, Adriankos's performance in the past ten years has surprised him and given him a lot of surprises, so he still has a lot of expectations for his future performance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any important proposals to talk about next?!" Cornerus asked aloud.

There was no response in the room, and it became somewhat calm.

Davers waited a moment, and then got up and went back to the palace. Over the years, he gradually began to separate the internal affairs of the kingdom from the various acts of the Senate that had examined, passed, and established Dionia, and transferred them to the royal palace. Except for the election of new senators, the selection of important official positions, the discussion of important bills, the establishment of new bills, wars, diplomacy and other major events, he will attend the Great Council Hall and make the final decision, and the rest of the time he will stay in the palace office to deal with the complicated affairs of the kingdom.

When Davers left, like Marigi, Mersis, and Felicius...... These senators, who held important positions in the kingdom, also got up and left to go to the palace to work. For at any given time, Davers would send someone to inquire about a matter over which they were governed.

Raodisien anxiously touched Antonios beside him with her hand and motioned for him to stand up and speak.

But Antonios sat still.

Seeing that Davers had already stood up, Ladisian couldn't help but stand up suddenly: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal to say, please wait for a while!" ”

Antonios hurriedly turned his head and warned in a low voice: "Raodisian, didn't I tell you not to mention this today!" You sit down for me! ”

Laodecien ignored him and remained standing.

Davers showed a playful expression and sat down slowly: "Does Lord Laodisian have any important proposals to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the new Administrator of Enona has just been elected." Raodisien said urgently: "Why don't you take this opportunity to elect a new governor of Naxos?" Master Strompori's term of office is over in four days! ”

"What do you mean, Raodisian! Strompori hasn't come back yet, and you're going to start electing the next governor of Naxos! Trito Demos shouted dissatisfied, because he was also from Amendolara and had worked together for so many years, and he had a good relationship with Strompori.

Laodisian had a request for Tritodemos, and when he saw that he was not happy, he immediately explained with a smile: "Mistress Tritodemos, didn't Mistress Stromboli write to the Senate before, and he will no longer run for the next office as governor of Naxos!" We have chosen a successor here, and we will hand him over as soon as possible, so that he can leave Naxos where he has worked hard for three years, and there have been many examples of this before. ”

"Lord Laodisian cares about his hometown, and he thinks very well." Trito Demos hadn't spoken yet, and Davers interjected with a smile: "But even if Stromboli leaves Naxos for ten or twenty days, Naxos doesn't have an administrative director, and there are still a few administrative adjutants, Naxos won't make any trouble, so you don't have to be too anxious." ”

"Your Majesty, you ...... You're right. Laodisien stubbornly said, "It's just ...... It's just that it would be safer if this period could be shortened! ”

"Well, you're right." Davers nodded, and suddenly laughed, "Safe...... But in what are you safe?! ”

Antonios, who had been keeping an eye on Davers, felt a little uneasy.

Laordisian was stopped by Davers's strange questioning, and did not know how to answer for a moment.

"Lord Laodisian, as a patriarch, you should have your eyes on the entire kingdom, not just your homeland!" Davers's tone was very light, but he often called the senators by their first names, and it was rare to use the honorific title of "adult" like this, and the senators in the hall felt strange.

Davers said in an accentuated tone: "The election of the new administrator of Naxos will be carried out after Stromboli returns, and if there is any important matter in Stromboli that has not been dealt with, we can even approve his postponement of his term!" Well, that's it. ”

After Davers finished speaking, he ignored Raodisian, and before leaving his seat, he threw a meaningful glance from the direction of Antonios, which made Antonios's heart beat wildly: Your Majesty should know about that!

For thousands of years, the Ovanito River flowed from west to east in the Apulian lands, and year after year, the sediment brought from the Apennines turned the middle and lower banks into fertile land, but became the boundary river for the Daoni and Puchetti peoples. The two tribes fought for centuries to monopolize the land, and the bones of countless warriors were buried in the land, which also made up for the fertility of the land that was consumed by crops.
