Since November 28th, after the Inquisition officially settled in Baghdad, one after another, what Justice Julius did in Baghdad is also well known to everyone, and the Inquisition is also known to everyone, but although it is said well, everyone still hesitates, even if many people return to Baghdad with their families, but in the face of this institution in the city, everyone has never looked for it, and suddenly, the Inquisition seems to have disappeared from everyone's field of vision...

In a garden

Julius roamed among them, holding the scroll in his hand, and his face was contemplative, until the arrival of the mayor appointed by Constantine, Julius was the supreme administrator of the city, and the Inquisition was the highest administrative body in the city.

For a long time, Julius looked up to the sky and sighed, apparently there was something that bothered him very much.

He has understood the recent events in the city, and the declaration he read that day still has some effect, but he didn't expect that after everyone came back, life and production would be the same as before, what was it like before the Roman Empire came, and what was it like after the Roman Empire came, then my Roman Empire didn't come in vain.

After thinking about it, Julius could understand that everyone was only facing the fear of strange rulers, but how to quickly establish the prestige of the Roman Empire in order to maintain a long-term rule in Baghdad was what Julius should do.

The brain can't help but turn, when sometimes I can't think of it, I just need a little help from others,

Maybe it's time?

His eyes couldn't stop scattering, and Julius thought of doing it, and carefully and carefully took out a somewhat crumpled envelope from his arms, which was written by Constantine to him, and handed it to him by himself in Constantinople, and instructed Julius to open it again when he encountered difficulties when he arrived in Baghdad.

Could Constantine still expect it today?

Julius was a little puzzled, but now that there was no one to consult, he could only hope for it.

Ignoring the fact that he couldn't pick open the lacquer with a knife, Julius tore it directly, his movements were slightly rough and brutal, but his gaze quickly became dull,

There are only two words on the paper: "kindness" and "punishment"

Julius looked inside the envelope again, and after making sure it was empty, he slowly closed the envelope.

This was Constantine's solution, and Julius understood Constantine's meaning very well, but at this time, the two rivers were decided, and at this time, could they anger the people with punishment?

Having made up his mind, Julius tore off the word "punishment" from the lower part, and was about to discard it, but after thinking about it, he always felt that it was not very good, so he just put it in his pocket casually, took the word "kindness" and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then carefully put it into his arms.

"Malins, gather the inhabitants of the city, and the merchants and outcasts, I have something important to announce."

He hurriedly called Malins and gave this order, Malins was only the captain of his guard, and he was only a hundred or so guards when he came here, so Julius did not want to cause a rebellion among the inhabitants of the city, otherwise, if nothing else, he would have to fold here.

As for the troops of Everenos, you say? He had already gone to Ctesiphon and Seleucia, and in order to prevent the intervention of Abu Saeed and Jahan Shah, after determining that there was no armed force in the rear, Eprenos did not leave many soldiers, of course, this was also related to the fact that Ephrynos brought a lot of grain and grass with his army.

Under the activities of Malins, a large number of people soon gathered in the square of the city, and everyone did not seem very reluctant, the reason is very simple, the words that Julius said at the beginning have not really happened to them, they are not children anymore, who would believe something that has not been seen?

After looking around and counting the number of people, and seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Julius simply cleared his throat,

"I have called you here today because there are some very important things that you need to witness,"

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Julius nodded with satisfaction,

"There is a proverb in my native Greece, 'A man's deeds speak more about his character than his words', and the city of Baghdad is ancient and prosperous, and the universal monarch Emperor Constantine has given us almost the status of an autonomous city for the sake of your safety and soul, and I would like to say here that, not only that, but His Majesty the Emperor Constantine is determined to grant the inhabitants of Baghdad the status of Roman citizens, in order to enjoy the rights and duties due to Roman citizens, let us rejoice for His Majesty Constantine!"

Julius thought that this would be enough to satisfy the populace, but the Roman citizenship of this era was clearly not as exciting as in the early days, and Julius's words only elicited a polite and sparse response, and it was clear from this scene that the effect of these words was not very good.

Seeing this, Julius could only force his head and continue,

"Since we are all citizens of the Roman Empire, we need some people to run this ancient city before the arrival of the officials sent by His Majesty, so that the wealth of the city is enough to match its status, and since you are citizens of the Roman Empire, you can nominate each other, and by means of popular elections, so that the right people can arrange the work of the citizens in prominent positions, and I invite you to come today, which is the main meaning."

At this point, the voices in the audience became a little louder, and people began to talk about it, but no one ever recommended anyone else to come forward.

"If you are willing to manage the city, you can also come forward and explain your situation, and those who have been recognized by the people can take office now, and if you do well, with the permission of Your Majesty, you can continue to hold an official position, and even enter the cabinet and become the prime minister, everything is possible."

What did Julius say all this for?

The Roman Empire was founded by force, but Constantine was keenly aware that the policies of Caesar and Augustus could not last long, and later generations followed suit, nothing more than Trajan's second, among the five wise emperors, Constantine first recommended Emperor Antony on political achievements, and loved Emperor Aurelius on personal terms, Tula was really a masterpiece of the moment, his merits were pushed by luck, plus some personal courage, figuratively speaking,

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

But the current Roman Empire does not need a second Emperor Trajan, and the Roman Empire at the moment of crisis needs an Emperor Nerva, a Constantine the Great, an Emperor Heraclius, and an Emperor Basil II.

There is no need for Julius Caesar, no need for Augustus, no need for Emperor Trajan, no need for Emperor Justinian, the Roman Empire can't be tossed anymore, at least for now...

Constantine was deeply aware of this, among the five justices, Judge Julius was Constantine's confidant, he also deeply understood Constantine's ideals and beliefs, and admired it, this time he took the initiative to come to Baghdad, in order to carry out Constantine's political strategy, and in the new era with new methods to seek a ray of life for the Roman Empire, everyone's purpose is very clear,

Universal Empire! Roman! Master of the civilized world!

Julius's heart was agitated, and the people in the audience didn't know this, they were a little moved,

Looking at the crowd around him, Salifo was only a little contemplative, and just wanted to get out of the ranks, but was interrupted by another person, and he had to stop to see how the Romans were to the people who came out,

"Can I also be a big official?"

"Puff~"

The laughter poured out, and even Malins, who was beside Julius, couldn't help but laugh,

"From afar it's Easter, up close it's Lent."

It was strange that Malins would say this, the person who came was really ugly, not only rabbit lips, but also one with big eyes, one with small eyes, and not very tall, in the face of everyone's laughter, he just held his head high and looked at Julius,

Gradually, the laughter stopped, and the populace wanted to see what Julius would do.

Taking a deep breath, Julius didn't show a smile that caused him to be not solemn, but just faced the people in the audience,

"Since this Excellency has volunteered, you can nominate him, and if you agree to make him an official, I will issue a document on behalf of His Majesty Constantine on the spot, so that he can administer the city, and you can vote on the spot."

"Agreed! Agree! Agree! ”

Anyway, it's not a big deal to see the excitement, and everyone is heabling, just wanting to see Julius's jokes.

Seeing the people commotion, although he knew that this was deliberate, Julius was still unequivocal, and immediately ordered Malins,

"Fetch the parchment papers!"

In a short time, the table, chair, and paper were placed on the table, and Julius picked up the pen and looked at the man,

"Name?"

"Dormer"

"Boom~"

Soon Julius wrote the letter of appointment clearly, and signed Constantine and his own name, and the letter of appointment took effect on the spot,

"Dormer, as the water conservancy officer of Baghdad, is in charge of the canals and rivers in the city of Baghdad and its surroundings, and is responsible for supervising, repairing, and governing, and it will take effect on the spot!"

Handing the letter of appointment to a trembling Dormer, Julius looked at the silent crowd in the audience, and then turned to look at Domer who was kneeling on the ground.

"Since you have such a right, you must fulfill the corresponding obligations, the people can give you this position, and you can also pull you down from this position, you must be cautious and careful, do your own things seriously, and do not live up to the expectations given to you by the empire and the people."

Domer hurriedly said yes, and when everyone in the audience saw this, they knew that Julius was really here, and immediately someone came out enthusiastically, and the audience was suddenly boiling,

What is life seeking in the world, for most people, it is nothing more than fame and fortune, and now the Romans have given this opportunity, if they don't grasp it tightly, then they will have no hope in this life at all, perhaps, this is the meaning of the existence of the Roman Empire?

Some people died, but not completely......
