Previously, Agnes defended Alcibidas, saying that "he was only surprised by his nephew's intelligence, and could not help but want to show off to others, so he was too ostentatious, but there was no other meaning ......", Davos did not believe these words very much, because it did not explain the reason why he wanted to feast Plato: was it not because he knew that Plato had a good relationship with him, and he strongly admired the rule of the philosopher-king, so he wanted to influence himself through him?

Since he had seen too much history of the struggle for royal power in his previous life, Davers was not afraid to speculate on this matter with the worst malice: perhaps in the past, Alcibidas had indeed invested his interest and energy in business, and was not interested in politics and power, but now that he has become a big businessman, rich and rivaled the country, it is inevitable that he will not have some other ideas, after all, he is the son of the shrewd Adiliclus, and there will always be some inheritance.

Therefore, Davers decided not to pay attention to this relative for a short time, and will continue to reduce the orders to his shipyard until he remembers this lesson!

Although he has an opinion about Alcibidas, it does not affect Davers's appreciation of the candidate he recommends.

Davers's initial impression of Fildun was that he was defiant, combative, and indomitable in the face of Dionysius' army. Having just joined Dionya and attended the Kingdom Assembly, the Senate was meeting to elect the chief executive of the town, and the Ligim hero, who was very interested in the unique form of government of Dionia, did something that shocked the audience, not only did he apply to participate in the election, but also insisted on doing so after the presidents kindly dissuaded him, on the grounds that he was good at mastering the legal and political system of Dionya more quickly in practice.

This somewhat angered the rotating chairman and the senators, who wanted to teach him a lesson, and at the same time to ensure the stability of the kingdom's political situation, simply elected him as the administrator of Amendolara, with two experienced administrative adjutants.

At the beginning, Fei Dun did encounter great troubles during his tenure, with unfamiliar government affairs, officials not actively cooperating, people coming to protest every day, and the administrative affairs of the entire town almost came to a standstill...... The Senate was ready to remove him from office at any time. But Fei Dun was not intimidated by the difficulties, he was energetic at night to seize the time to study the laws and systems of Dionia, during the day, regardless of his identity, humbly asked his subordinates for advice, for the people's protests, he was not only able to accept them with an open mind, but also went to the problem site, investigation and research, and gradually his positive attitude infected his officials, but also moved the citizens of Amendolara, the officials began to cooperate, the people complained less, and the government affairs gradually got on the right track......

Four months later, Amendora's government returned to normal, and a year later Fidun was able to handle the affairs of the town with the same ease as a veteran who had served as an administrator for many years, but his hands-on, open-minded and inquisitive style remained unchanged, and although Amendola was a very stable kingdom town, it was not easy to manage it well, but after three years, most of the people here were unanimously proclaiming that Fidun was the best administrator they had ever met.

That's pretty remarkable! Thinking about the administrative qualifications of Fei Dun in the kingdom, it is even more amazing, and even the rotating chairmen have an idea that Amendolara should be governed by inexperienced senators, and perhaps only they can maintain the humility of government affairs and have the patience to meet the needs of the discerning citizens of Amendolara.

Therefore, the Senate would then choose Publius to take over the post of administrator of Amendolara.

Fei Dun's outstanding performance also aroused Davers's great curiosity, and in order to see how capable this veteran of literature and martial arts was, he secretly instructed him to be the administrator of Naxos, and there were far fewer opponents in that election.

Judging from the current situation, Fitun's governance is still excellent, especially the series of measures taken against the Sikel tribe in the west of Mount Etna, which is not strictly under the jurisdiction of the Naxos administrator, but he dared to take responsibility and was not afraid of chaos, and took over the matter decisively, and the final effect was also very good. This proactive approach is what Davers admires the most, and it is a good quality that a district chief executive should have.

At this moment, Davers looked at Fei Dun in the venue, covering the outline of his sculptural face was pitted, as if the wind and rain were blowing, dark skin, looking extremely cold and hard, and as calm as an old official, but in fact he was less than 50 years old, and his administrative experience in the kingdom was only six years, but he was the chief executive of the town for nearly six years, this resume was indeed enough to be proud of everyone.

What Davers doesn't understand is that Fei Dun has a tough personality and Alcibidas is flexible, and the two don't have the same personalities, but they actually have a good relationship. Maybe it's because both of them are Lijim people, or maybe the two worked together to quell the Lijim chaos of the year, thus forming a friendship, or maybe it's because of the complementary personalities......

But in any case, with the support of Alcibidas (after all, Alcibidas is a relative of the royal family, and he also has some supporters in the Senate, and other senators do not want to conflict with him without involving huge interests), coupled with Fei Dun's own ability, I believe that he can get a lot of support. What's more, Fei Dun fought side by side with the Dionian generals in the Southern Italian War and received a lot of friendship, and I believe that he has a great chance of winning. As long as he does not do some taboo things with Alcibidas in the future, Davers is willing to give these outstanding administrative talents a bigger stage to give full play to their abilities.

When Alcibidas sat down, another senator stood up: "I recommend Milon ......"

It turned out to be Friniris from Coronia...... Milon wasn't surprised by the recommender, as Carenia had been a member of the Crotone League.

Lycias was already familiar with the Corennian leadership, and after joining Dionia, he strengthened his ties with these senators from the former Crotone League, but unfortunately it was difficult to unite them and become another major faction in the Senate.

The reason is simple, because three of the five rotating presidents are from the former Crotone League: although Cipros has a good relationship with many people, he never has too deep a relationship with people in private, nor does he form gangs; Antaoris and Lucias have a disagreement and can't talk about each other. As a result, the Crotonite faction, which Lucias had hoped would be the most powerful faction in the kingdom's Senate, is still in vain.

Catania's vast land, large population, and prosperous agriculture, commerce, forestry, and pastoralism led to a lot of competition, and there were more fierce criticisms and arguments between them: the problem of Milon's long tenure in Catania was pointed out; Fei Dun was also questioned about his short tenure as town administrator and his lack of experience in governing such an important area. Others were directly exposed for mistakes in their past resumes...... Wait a minute.

Controversy erupted in the venue.

It is often at this time that the ceremonial officer comes into play, he will stop the emotionally charged senators from speaking insulting language, and he will also warn those who violate the order of speech and stand up and speak at will...... In short, they are trying to maintain order in the venue, and prevent this sacred place from turning into a noisy and abusive market.

These heated debates in the hall will not change the elders who already have support in advance, but they can affect the elders who are still neutral.

This is what Davers wants to see: in such a fiercely competitive situation, the veterans who are mediocre and have not done anything in the past do not dare to come out to run, so as to avoid being picked on by everyone's wide eyes, resulting in embarrassment and not being able to step down, so as to ensure that the elected district chief executives are at least above the standard.

The final result of the election - Fei Dun won.

While Milon applauded and congratulated Fei Dun again, he was also a little more uneasy in his heart, although the selection progress was indeed as expected by Lucias, but he also felt nervous when he saw that the competition was so fierce.

"The next thing to choose is the Syracuse area!"

The name of "Syracuse" alone was enough to attract many veterans to participate in the election, but when the ceremonial officer called out the name of Felicius, everyone's hearts were tight: the army was finally going to make an official move!

"I elect Lord Adrianx!" Felicius only said this, and then stopped, because he thought that Adrianx's deeds were already well known, and he didn't need to say more, but it gave many senators the impression that the people sent by the army were really domineering!

His recommendation scared off some of the candidates and provoked the dissatisfaction of others, so that several people participated in the election, and the debate was still fierce, but the final result was still - Adriankos won the election by a large vote.

Facts have proved that as one of the founders of Dionya and another important faction of the Senate, the military faction, although they usually do not take the initiative to speak out at the meeting, once they become serious, they can influence the direction of the meeting.

"Next up is the south coast of Sicily!"

Antaorris's words made Davers pay a little more attention, because he had originally set his sights on Amicles, but now that Amicros had become the governor of the Strait of Messina, he wanted to see what kind of candidates the senators would promote.

The first name called out by the ceremonial officer surprised him: "Lord Amintas! ”

Amintas stood up violently, and two sharp eyes swept towards the elders who were whispering, and their voices were loud enough to drown out the noise in the room: "I recommend Agacia, who has followed His Majesty on an expedition to Persia, and who was the patriarch of the founding of Dionia, and he is fully qualified to be the prefect of the region!" ”
