"Oh, which two?" Karios leaned forward with great curiosity.

"Article 1—" Sipros unhurriedly placed a wooden skewer on the table and said, "Anyone can apply for Ionian citizenship, whether it is a foreign vagrant, a captured enemy citizen, or even an emancipated slave, as long as they meet the requirements of the Act, they can become a Dionian citizen......"

Kaños gasped, Elia would also give citizenship to some freeman city-states, but that was because of the war, the shortage of soldiers and labor, and it was hard to imagine that Dionya was opening up citizenship all the time: "This ...... This...... In this way, are Ionian citizenship less important? Can't enjoy so many alliance rights? And what kind of person can become a citizen of the Union? How to maintain order in the city-state? ……”

"Citizenship in Dionya is very attractive!" Faced with Canios's many questions, Sipros shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not to mention other rights, the right of each new citizen to receive 'five acres of land' alone is enough to make the freedmen crazy. Not to mention, according to the merits of the citizen's service, he can also be allocated new land. ”

"This ...... It's true?! Canios couldn't help but swallow his spit in disbelief, for the citizens of Elia, who had been trapped in the city for a long time, the land was very attractive to them.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, in the decisive battle between Dionia and Crotone, why Dionia, who had a small army, could easily recruit 7,000 freedmen without spending money, and the freedmen were extremely brave enough to help Dionya defeat Crotone, because of the allure of Dionian citizenship. Sipros looked around at the diners who were chatting enthusiastically, turned around and continued: "As for whether it will disturb the order of the city-state, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand Dionian people present at today's ceremony, right?" ”

After this reminder from Sipros, Canios immediately understood: "It is the first time I have seen a celebration or festival of the Coalition attended by so many people, and there was no major disorder, probably not only because there were a large number of patrolling soldiers there to maintain order. ”

Sipros replied in a low voice, "Of course, this has a lot to do with the laws of the Dionian League that restrict citizens, and even freeman slaves. More than any other city-state, the city of Turiy is home to not only patrols, but also courts. These courts not only hear cases and disputes, but also record the names of those who violated the law. If they are free people, it will affect whether they can obtain citizenship on time; If they are citizens, it affects their access to land allotments...... Therefore, for the sake of a better future, the vast majority of people living in Dionya will consciously abide by the laws here......"

"That's a great way to do it! Over time, the Dionians naturally developed the habit of obeying the law. No wonder ......" Canios couldn't help but praise: "This solution fundamentally solves the chaos that may be caused by the complex origin of the people in Dionia, I don't know who proposed it in the first place......"

He saw a smile on Sipros's face, and then he realized, "Is it Davers again?" ”

Cipros nodded.

Canios shrugged helplessly, he had nothing more to say about the Archon of Dionia.

"What is the second law?" Sipros's familiarity with Dionysa and his unique insights deepened Canios' deep understanding of Dionia, and he was eager to know more.

"Zibang." Two words came out of Sipros' mouth, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Dionia's method of dealing with sub-states or territories is very different from that of most Greek city-states. ”

"What's the difference?" Carneos was once again attracted by Sipros's words and asked urgently.

"Aspraustum, you know what?"

"I have heard that it was formerly a town of the Brutis, then it became a sub-state of Crotone, and I heard that it is now a member of the Dionian League."

"Take Asphorustum, for example, what did the Crotone do when they occupied it? Kill all the Brutis in the city, and move the landless citizens of Crotone to the city of Asprarustum, where the same system is applied to Crotone. Sipros pricked a piece of tripe, threw it into his mouth, and with a mocking smile, said: "The inhabitants of Sprustum are citizens of Crotone, and the form of government is that of Crotone. It stands to reason that Assprustum has completely become part of Crotone, but why did Asprustum riot twice in the past few decades and demand secession from Crotone? ”

"There were two riots in Sprustum?" Kaños was a little surprised, as he had the impression that Asphorustum was a town in Crotone.

"Yes, twice." Sipros stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "Because Crotone quickly quelled the riot and deliberately blocked the news, it is normal for you Elia to be far away in the north and not know...... While it was true that Aspraustum was initially fully attached to Crotone, 20 years later, things changed. According to the laws of Crotone, only an Asporustum man whose father was a citizen of Crotone could become a citizen of Crotone, and over time, some Gentiles came to Asprustum and married women from the city, but gave birth to children who could not become citizens of Crotone, but only citizens of Asprustum. There are also those who were born and raised in the small town and have more affection for Asphorustum than Crotone than they are willing to apply to become Crotone citizens......

In this way, there are more and more real Asperustum citizens in this small city, more than the citizens of Crotone, so their willingness to defend the interests that belong only to Asphorustum naturally exceeds the interests of Crotone. As for the Crotonens, they treated the Asprostums more and more like slaves than their own people due to their increasingly distant blood ties. In the event of war, let the Sprustums rush to the front; In the event of a land dispute, the preference is for the Crotone...... In this way, the resentment of the Asphorustums towards Crotone is getting deeper and deeper, how can they not demand independence?! ”

Hearing this, Canios nodded, and took a long sip of beer.

"Crotone's response to Asprostum after the riots was to kill the people who had resolutely resisted Crotone, and then relocate a large number of Crotone citizens to the small city, while supporting the Asperustumites close to Crotone, and giving the citizens of Crotone the supreme power of Asputum. But more than a dozen years later, Aspraustum still rioted again, and the situation was the same as last time...... As far as I know, the Greek city-states are generally treated in this way with their colonies and occupied territories, and Aspraustum is very close to Crotone, which is a powerful city-state in Greater Greece, and it has enough power to control the small town of Asprustum, and this is still happening. It is very common for those sub-states that are far away from the mother state, or the mother state is not strong, and they cannot unite with the sub-state to strengthen their own power later, which is quite good. What's even more terrifying is that the mother state has become enemies with the child state, and there are many such examples! ......," Sipros said with a sigh.

His words reminded Kanios of Elia's mother state, which had sent emissaries to ask for help, but the mother state had turned a blind eye to Elia's plight and refused to offer any help, and the two sides had become strangers. Kanios was slightly sentimental: "You're right! With that, he raised the jug and invited Sipros to make a toast.

Wiping the foam from his mouth, he asked with interest, "What did Dionia do with the occupied territories?" ”

Sipros picked up another wooden skewer and placed it on the wooden table, and said slowly: "After Dionya occupied Asporustum, one of the first laws to be implemented was to declare, 'All Asphorustumites who are willing to stay will become citizens of Dionia. ’”

"Huh?!" Canios looked surprised.

"Although there are very few Asphorustums who choose to stay, I feel like they made the right choice." After emphasizing one sentence, Siprost continued: "The second bill that Dionya soon introduced was that the Dionian Senate appointed public officials to Asprustum to govern, and the supreme administrator of the city was the city administrator, and the senator must be the senator, and I remember that the current governor of Asprarustum was...... Shilos of the Dionian Senate, a senator close to Davers.

You see, the inhabitants of Asprarustum are now Ionian citizens, and the law of Dionya states that 'as long as either parent is a Dionian, his child will be Dionian as soon as he is born.' In addition, the rulers of Asprarustum are directly appointed by the Senate, and any citizen of Dionya can apply to hold office in the city-state, and after serving in public office for a considerable number of years, a person with a wealth of experience and excellent performance can become a Senate of Dioonia. ’”

Sipros said with a slightly excited expression: "In this way, the inhabitants of Aspraustum are not very likely to betray the Ionian Alliance, whether now or in the future, because they enjoy the same rights as the Ionian citizens of other cities of the Alliance. Aspraustum was already part of the Dionian Alliance, and the Senate of the Alliance sent people to directly manage it, whether it was paying taxes or performing military service, which directly strengthened the Alliance. Therefore, when Dionia's strength was weaker than that of Crotone, it was able to gather the same number of soldiers and resources as Crotone, because its government system could better concentrate all the forces of the city under its jurisdiction! And Crotone isn't even fully rooting for Assprustum, let alone its allies, Siritin, and our Trina. This is probably the most feared thing about the Dionian Alliance, every time it gains land, it strengthens the Alliance! ”
