"Tibruce, thank you for the advice you gave me just now! I have benefited a lot..." Pubruce then expressed his gratitude to Tibruce.

Tibruce said humbly: "Mr. Publius, don't be polite. I have just grown up in Turiyi since I was a child. I have heard and witnessed a lot of things and have a better understanding of the kingdom. But understanding is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. Like we still have to be down-to-earth and develop step by step. However, your conditions are good. Once you join the kingdom, you will be a veteran. Just build a solid foundation and you can achieve greater achievements..."

Publius nodded and said with a solemn expression: "You are right. Rome has become a thing of the past. I should cheer up and develop better in the stronger country of Dionia!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked humbly: "Tibruce, you just gave me advice. Do you have any suggestions for my children?"

"I remember you said that you have an 18-year-old son, a 10-year-old son... and a... one..."

"And a 6-year-old daughter."

"Uh..." Tibruce pondered for a while and said, "Your eldest son is 18 years old. According to the law of Dionia, he is already an adult, but the kingdom has assigned you a portion of land, so he will not allocate him a portion of land for the time being. If he does not want to help you with farmland at home and continues to inherit your property in the future, there are three ways for him to choose from, to go to politics, business, and to serve-"

Tibruce patiently analyzed to him with his fingers: "I believe that with your family situation, your eldest son must have received a good education since he was a child, but to take office, you must pass the Kingdom exam. It was easy to take the first few years of the Kingdom establishment, but now it is difficult, because more and more young people graduated from various town schools, and the competition is getting more and more intense. Not only do you have to know literacy, write articles, and calculate, but you also have to roughly understand some of the laws of the Dionys and Hades.

After passing the exam, you must serve as an internship public servant in the town where your household registration is located for one year. After passing the performance, you will be registered with the Kingdom Officials Management Committee and become a formal person. The committee will then be assigned to a certain department of a certain town to serve as the lowest level public servant—”

"What is this Kingdom Officials Management Committee?" Publius interjected.

"Oh, the Kingdom Officials Management Committee was originally an institution under the Senate, managing the appointment, promotion, reward and punishment of all middle and low-level officials of the Kingdom. It is now under the jurisdiction of His Majesty. Its main person in charge is composed of three veterans, one chief and two deputy, dozens of officials and clerks under him. The current person in charge is also the head of the five rotating chairmen of the Senate - Lord Cornerus."

"Oh, then... which department is responsible for the senior officials of the kingdom?" Publius immediately thought of another question.

"The senior officials are basically the senators, and their appointments are elected by the Senate, such as the chief executive of the town or the main officials of various departments of the kingdom, and finally handed over to His Majesty to decide. It seems easier than us middle and low-level officials. However, it is said that the senate report during his tenure is a big test and is not so easy to pass. Elders with poor political achievements are often humiliated, and it is difficult to take up positions again in the future, such as... cough cough..." Tibruce coughed twice and stopped his mouth in time.

"Anyway, you will know about this matter soon. I won't say much, but I will talk about your child. Your eldest son has never received education from the Kingdom School, so it is impossible for him to pass the exam and enter politics as soon as he comes. If he wants to go to politics, he can apply to Tuliyi City Hall first and serve as a choreographer-"

"Handy?"

"It is just that there are no public officials of grades, such as clerks, scribes, messengers, bookkeepers, administrators... They also have to undergo assessments and have salaries, but they are generally not divided into multiple places. There is also a part-time job. When the city hall is busy and the staff is in urgent need of, they will recruit volunteers to help with their work, and will be disbanded and returned home when they are free. Although the salary for part-time jobs is very low, there will be records on his household registration file, which will be beneficial to his future development.

Your eldest son can first work as a choreer or part-time job, exercise the ability to do things and do things, be familiar with various affairs of the kingdom, and at the same time take time and spend some money, hire teachers or attend adult learning classes at Tuliyi School to learn knowledge, and wait two or three years later to take the kingdom's public office exam. Because of actual political experience, it will have more advantages and easier access to young citizens who have just graduated and take the exam..."

Tibruce breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Publius listened seriously, and then continued: "If your eldest son is willing to go to business, you can fund him some money first, and let him register at the Commerce Office of Turiyi City Hall to obtain the qualification and certificate of business--"

"Why do you have to register with that business office to trade freely?" Publius asked curiously. Although Rome was underdeveloped, the people were free to trade.

Tibruce explained: "Applying for registration from the Commerce Office is mainly to facilitate the Kingdom's tax collection and the Ministry of Household Registration to classify and manage it. For merchants, with the business certificate issued by the Kingdom, he can obtain more loans from the Kristoya Bank, and can also apply to join the Chamber of Commerce in various places to get more help, more information and channels, which is more conducive to his development.

But the Kingdom does not prohibit others from buying. For example, farmers in various towns in the Kingdom do not have to apply to the Commerce Office. They can take their excess agricultural products to the designated areas of the market in the town for sale, and they do not have to pay taxes. However, the things sold must be small and cannot be bought and sold in other towns. Otherwise, once discovered, the consequences are very serious. At the least, the punishment will be severe, and at the worst, the citizenship will be deprived..."

Publius was just a little curious, but in fact the Romans were not a race that was good at doing business, and he was not very interested in it. After understanding a little, he turned to ask, "What if he chose to join the army?"

"Mr. Publius, you must first know that according to the provisions of the Dionian Law, male citizens aged 18 to 45 have the obligation to serve in the military and participate in regular military training, whether you are a farmer, a handicraft, a merchant, or a public servant of the Kingdom..."

"This is the same as before in Rome."

Tibruce worked in Rome for several months and knew something about Rome before. He solemnly reminded: "But unlike Rome, the citizens of Dionia are fighting to go to the battlefield to make contributions and win land and spoils for the kingdom rewards, but it is not easy to go to the battlefield. Generally speaking, only regular legion soldiers can go out to fight. Only after casualties are casualties will the reserve soldiers be incorporated and supplemented.

The young citizens of Dionia have been conducting military training since childhood and have become familiar with Dionia's various basic military tactics since adulthood. Your son knows nothing about it. It is difficult to become a formal legion soldier within at least three or four years. If you want to be in advance, the best way is to take the initiative to apply to go to several fortresses in various territory as garrison soldiers. Although it is difficult, you can become a formal legion soldier in one or two years. As long as you participate in a few more battles, you are very likely to become a squad leader.

But if he wants to become a team leader, he must perform well, which is not easy. Becoming a team leader means that he has entered the ranks of the kingdom officers and has become the focus of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As long as he does not have major injuries in the future and has made many military achievements, he may be promoted step by step... or even become the commander of the legion. After becoming the commander of the legion, he may enter the senate and become a senate with a noble status...

Joining the army is a fast way. Not only can you get a lot of land rewards for your military achievements, but you can also hold a high position at a young age. For example, after this war, Sicily commander Prosous will become the new veteran of the kingdom at his early forties!”

Tibruce said enviously, and sighed lightly: "However, these are all exchanged for their lives. If you are not careful, you may die on the battlefield. The land and wealth you have won can only be left to your wife and children. For example, the naval fleet commanders who had died in this war, Flarios and Miltias, so I don't envy them too much. Although the promotion of government officials is slow, it is safe!"

"Is promotion in the army the same for all citizens?" Publius asked.

"What?" Tibruce was stunned, and soon understood what he meant, and said with a serious expression: "Sir, you must understand that Dionia is not like your former Rome. The nobles' children can serve as squadron leader level team officers just after they serve. This is not feasible in the Kingdom of Dionia! All citizens must start from ordinary legion soldiers, and even His Majesty's adopted son and son-in-law slowly become the legion leader and the captain through their own efforts. If you want to take other shortcuts, it is best to give up your mind.

According to the law, the army is directly under His Majesty. All promotions and appointments of officers must be approved by him in the end, and the Senate shall not interfere. Anyone who wants to interfere in military affairs will inevitably arouse His Majesty's anger. The La Odixien incident more than ten years ago has taught everyone a good lesson."

"The Raodisian incident?" Publius asked curiously.

"This matter is very complicated. I will tell you in detail when I have time." Tibruce quickly said, "In addition, your eldest son can also choose to become a farmer or a craftsman, but as you are, this should not be a choice, so I won't say more..."
