Chapter 377 The Dionysian Royal Family Celebrates the New Year

Among the officials who were criticized due to poor work, the officers of the Military Affairs Department accounted for the majority (the military judges in the army were also assigned by the Supervision Department). After all, such a huge amount of materials and money was collected to the Military Affairs Department, and they needed to manage, plan, allocate and transport it. This was indeed a arduous task. This was the first time the Ministry of Military Affairs had experienced it, especially the lack of experience and insufficient staff in the Military Affairs Department, which led to many mistakes. Sesta emphasized this point, hoping that the Military Affairs Department could learn from the lessons and improve work efficiency.

Shilos, Phyllisius and other military officials looked calm. In fact, around October last year, they had realized this problem and took the initiative to cooperate with Melsis. The Finance Department sent personnel to assist the Military Department in managing and allocating supplies. The situation was much better.

Foreign Minister Ansitanos, Education Minister Montotic Els, Medical Minister Helps... He came to the court to summarize one by one. The last person to play was not the minister, but the priest of the scepter of Hattis Temple in the Kingdom of Dionia.

In fact, when the Kingdom Assembly was first implemented, Davers had hesitated about "whether to let Presinus attend this conference". After all, when the concept of "Daves is a descendant of Hades" had penetrated into the hearts of the people of the Kingdom, Hades actually became the exclusive god of the Dionys royal family, and Hades had become the most important god believed in by the Kingdom People. The Kingdom Assembly mainly discussed the administrative affairs of the Kingdom. Letting human servants who are protecting the gods of the Kingdom Kingdom accept supervision and accusations from the representatives at the conference are both an offense to the gods and a disrespect to the royal family.

But Davers considers that in any era, religion is a double-edged sword. If there is no restraint, it will likely overtake the world over time and in turn threaten the royal power. Moreover, the priests belonging to the Temple of Hades not only worship the kingdom's guardian gods, but also have a duty to supervise and regulate the sacrifices and the behavior of their priests in other temples in the kingdom, which naturally includes a large number of administrative affairs.

After repeated consideration, Davers finally decided to let Presinus attend the Kingdom Conference at the beginning of each year and become the kingdom's important minister who made the final conclusion on the first day of the opening.

In fact, since Presinas attended the conference, he has asked many questions, of course not on the Temple of Hades itself, but on other temples.

Since its establishment, the Kingdom of Dionia has been a country that believes in polytheism. Not only the Greek gods have sacrificed among the people, but also the gods believed in by other races. It is not easy to balance their interests well. However, the opinions of the representatives have also promoted the gradual improvement of religious management by the kingdom, and the bad signs were strangled into the cradle as early as possible.

After this speech by Presinas, many people asked questions, even Purbrius raised his second question at this conference. Of course, his question was naturally about "Can the temples of the Roman gods be treated fairly and can continue to sacrifice in the kingdom..." and so on.

Presinas answered seriously.

Although he was not very satisfied, Publius was still much more relieved.

At this time, according to previous practice, today's schedule ended. However, this Kingdom Congress will be different. During the war, the entire conference schedule should be shortened as much as possible to avoid accidents. You should know that in order not to affect the war, for the stability of the kingdom, and the busy government affairs, the chief executives of some important towns on the front line failed to escape, but only sent representatives, such as Rome, Catanai, Lusenia, etc.

But it was already afternoon, and the delegates had sat for most of the day, so Cornerus announced that they would temporarily rest for half an hour, and continue to hold the meeting after having a simple dinner provided by the Senate. The following content is to introduce the governance of each newly occupied territory.

It was finally Tibruce and the others! It was really a long meeting!...Publius sighed lightly, and this meeting format really opened his horizon: just from the summary of the ministers of the Kingdom of Dionys just now, we can see how meticulous and rigorous the governance of their country was. This may be necessary to govern a kingdom of such a large area.

Publius thought to himself, and his stomach started to scream. He listened too seriously and did not realize that he was already hungry and put on his chest and his back.

He and Tibruce attended the meeting for the first time. Unlike many of the delegates who attended the meeting, they had a lot of experience and had a full breakfast. Just as he was considering whether to follow other delegates out of the venue, Anta Oris next to him suddenly asked: "Mr. Pubruce, how do you feel after listening to these summary?"

Publius replied without hesitation: "I feel that it is not easy for an official to be a good veteran in Dionia! The pressure is too great!"

This is indeed his thoughts.

…………………………………………

On that night, the candles were brightly lit in the Tuliyi Grand Council Hall and they continued to fight. Many households in Tuliyi territory also lit candlelights, and swept away the desertedness of the past. The sounds of playfulness broke the tranquility of the night.

The first day of the new year is not any celebration day for the Dionys, but according to the habits of his previous life, Davers would always hold a banquet at home on this day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. As a result, this habit spread in Turiyi and was followed by the people.

Naturally, at this time, the Davers mansion in King Hills was even more lively. Not only were the lights everywhere, but the open space in the yard was filled with dining tables, and the palace guards and servants on duty in the royal family sat in the back and front yards.

In the hall was a large table, where Davers's two wives, four children, the court chief Ribazo and the slave manager Molina, in the front and backyards.

Davers is not at home and Agent doesn't like socializing. Such banquets are naturally hosted by Christoya. Usually, the princess is always strict and decisive in the affairs of the housekeeper, always cold and seldom shows the tenderness of women. But today she smiles and goes to the front and back yards to toast the guards and servants, expressing gratitude for their contributions to the royal family in the past year, and wishes them good luck in the new year.

Amid the sound of gratitude and blessings, Cristoya returned to the hall and sat on the main seat. Before she could speak, she heard Briantes say, "Mother, when will my father come back? I miss him!"

"I miss my father very much, too!" Immediately afterwards, Aviya also said in a low voice.

Although Eunice and Apox didn't say anything, their longing was beyond words.

It can be said that this New Year's family dinner is still fighting in the distance because of Davers, Cynthia just gave birth to a child and was still recuperating at her own home. Compared with previous years, it is the least number of people, so it is inevitably a bit deserted.

Although Davers has been busy with government affairs over the years and has not spent much time with the children, Christoya is strict with her children. Although Agent is gentle, she is not enthusiastic enough. Only Davers can take time to get along with the children, he can always get along with the children and let the children have fun. Now Davers has been away from them for a year, and how can they not miss it for such a long time?

Cristoya was so sad that she was silent for a while before she comforted her voice softly: "Children, didn't you all read your father's letter yesterday? He and your two brothers are safe now, and they have won a great victory in Sicily. The war is about to end soon! So now let us raise our wine glasses and wish your fathers and brothers peace and safety and return soon, okay?"

"Okay!!" The four children responded in unison.

So, under the leadership of Cristoya, everyone prayed silently to Hades for blessing.

"Okay, let's toast and celebrate the arrival of the new year!"

As soon as Cristoya finished speaking, several children excitedly picked up the wine mixed with water, especially Briantes took the wooden cup high.

As soon as he put down his glass, he heard Agenice say quietly: "I don't know how Cloto is doing in Rome? He has never lived outside for so long?!"

Christoya was stunned, then glared at her dissatisfiedly, thinking to herself: Agenice, what's wrong with you? I just comforted these little ones, but you said this without looking at the occasion, how can you maintain the joyful atmosphere of this banquet!

…………………………………………

The family was worried about Crotokatacs, but Crotokatacs, who was far away in Rome, was not in the mood to miss his parents and younger siblings on this special night. Because he was preparing for dinner, his immediate boss, the Roman Creator, Pasción, came to his door and asked him for help.

"Sir Pascian, are you saying there is something wrong with the stone bridge we built?!" After hearing Pascian's words, Crotokatax was shocked.

"Because tomorrow will be accepted, I asked the engineers to check it carefully today. They found that the second bridge pier was deflected, so I quickly notified me. According to their analysis, it may be because the riverbed there was too soft and the foundation of our bridge pier was not solid enough. This is all because the city hall was too tight at the beginning. We did not conduct a more careful survey of the riverbed and made better construction plans. We just thought that we would complete it as soon as possible to cause such a result!" Pasion said regretfully.
Chapter completed!
