Chapter 51 Election of District Chief Executives (5)

Previously, Agenus defended Alcibidas, saying, "He was just surprised by his nephew's intelligence and couldn't help but want to show off to others, so he was too arrogant, but there was no other meaning..." Davers didn't believe these words because it could not explain the reason why he wanted to invite Plato: wasn't it because he knew that Plato had a good relationship with him and strongly advocated the philosophical king's rule, so he wanted to influence himself through him?

Because he had read too much about 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, Alsibidas did bet on business and was not interested in politics and power, but now he has become a big businessman, and he is rich enough to rival a country. He will inevitably have other ideas. After all, he is the son of the shrewd Adili Cruise and will always have some inheritance.

So, Davers decided not to pay attention to this relative in a short period of time and would continue to reduce orders to his shipyard until he remembered the lesson!

Although he has any objections to Alsie Bidas, it will not affect Davers' appreciation of the candidates he recommends.

Davers' initial impression of Fedun was that he was not afraid of powerful enemies when facing Dionysius' army, and was brave enough to fight and was indomitable. Fedun had just joined Dionysia. After attending the Kingdom Conference, the Senate was meeting to elect the chief executive of the town. This hero Lijim, who was very interested in Dionysia's unique political system, did something shocking to the audience. Not only did he take the initiative to apply for participation in the election, but he also insisted on doing so after the rotating chairmen were kindly dissuading him. His reason was that he was good at mastering Dionys' legal and political system more quickly in practice.

This somewhat angered the rotating chairman and the veterans. With the mentality of wanting to teach him some lessons and at the same time ensuring the stability of the kingdom's political situation, he simply elected him as the Chief Executive of Amendorala, and equipped with two experienced administrative adjutants.

At first, Feidun encountered great trouble during the period when he took office. He was unfamiliar with government affairs and officials did not cooperate actively. The people came to protest every day, and the administrative affairs of the entire town were almost stagnant... The Senate was ready to revoke his position at any time. But Feidun was not scared by difficulties. He was energetic and seized time to study the laws and systems of Dionia at night. He did not care about his identity during the day and humbly asked his subordinates for advice. He not only could humbly accept the protests of the people, but also went to the problem location in person to investigate and study. Gradually, his positive attitude infected the officials under his command and moved the citizens of Amendolar. The officials began to cooperate, and the people complained less, and the government affairs gradually got on the right track...

Four months later, Amendolar's government affairs returned to normal. A year later, Feidun was able to handle town affairs calmly and freely like a veteran who had served as the chief executive for many years. However, his personal and humble style of humbleness and inquisitiveness has not changed. Although Amendolar is a very stable kingdom town, it is not easy to manage it well. However, three years later, most people here declared that Feidun is the best chief executive they met.

This is already amazing! Thinking about Feidun's administrative qualifications in the kingdom, it is even more amazing. Even the rotating chairmen had an idea: Amendorala should be governed by inexperienced elders, and perhaps only they can maintain humility towards government affairs and be patient to meet the needs of the picky Amendorala citizens.

That is why the Senate would choose to take over the position of Chief Executive of Amendorala afterwards.

Feidun's outstanding performance also aroused Davers' great curiosity. In order to see how capable this veteran, who is both civil and military, he secretly instructed him to serve as Chief Executive of Naxos, and that time there were fewer people who opposed the election.

Judging from the current situation, Feidun's governance is still excellent, especially the series of measures taken against the West Kell tribe in the west of Etna. Strictly speaking, this does not fall under the jurisdiction of Chief Executive Naxos, but he dared to take responsibility, was not afraid of chaos, and took over the matter decisively, and the final effect was also very good. This kind of proactive behavior is what Davers appreciates most, and it is also the excellent quality that the chief executive of a regional company should possess.

At this moment, Davers looked at Fei Dun in the venue. The outline of his sculpture-like face was bumpy, with dark skin as if it was wind and rain. He looked extremely cold and hard, and as calm as an old official. But in fact, he was less than 50 years old. His administrative resume was only six years old, but he had been the chief executive of the kingdom for nearly six years. This resume was indeed enough to stand out for everyone.

What Davers didn't understand was that Feidun had a tough personality and Alsie Bidas was flexible in doing things. The two were not in line with each other, but their relationship was still very good. Perhaps it was because both of them were Lijim, or perhaps it was because of their cooperation to calm down the Lijim chaos back then, thus forming friendship, or perhaps because of the complementary personalities...

But no matter what, with Alsibidas' support (Arsibidas is a relative of the royal family after all, and there are some fans in the Senate. Without huge interests involved, other veterans are unwilling to conflict with him), and with Feidun's own ability, I believe that he can get a lot of support. What's more, Feidun fought side by side with the generals of Dionia in the Southern Italian War, and took on a considerable friendship. I believe that he has a great chance of winning. As long as he does not do something taboo together in the future, Davers is willing to give these outstanding administrative talents a larger stage to fully exert their abilities.

When Alsibidas sat down, another veteran stood up: "I recommend Miron..."

It turned out to be Friniris from Coleneya...Milon was not surprised by this recommender, after all, Karenia was once a member of the Crotone League.

Lycius was originally familiar with the senior leaders of Courenia. After joining Dionia, he strengthened his ties with these veterans from the former Crotone League. Unfortunately, it was difficult to unite them and become another major faction in the Senate.

The reason is very simple, because three of the five rotating chairmen are from the original Crotone League: although Cyporus has a good relationship with many people, he never interacts with others in private and does not form cliques; Anta Oris has a disagreement with Lucias and cannot be a part of it. This makes it still a pity for Lucias to be the most powerful faction in the Senate of the Kingdom, the Crotones.

The Catania region has a vast land and a large population. The agriculture, commerce, forestry and pastoral are relatively prosperous, so there are many people participating in the competition, and the mutual exposure and debate are even more intense: the problem of Miron's long term in the Catania region was pointed out; Feidun was also questioned that he served as the chief executive of the town for too short and had too little experience, and whether he could manage such an important area well; some candidates were directly exposed to his mistakes in his past resume...etc.

There were debates everywhere in the venue.

Often, when the etiquette officer is in play, he will stop the overly emotional veteran from speaking insulting language, and will also warn those who violate the order of speech and stand up to speak at will... In short, they are working hard to maintain the order of the venue and prevent this sacred place from turning into a market of noisy and insulting.

These fierce debates in the venue cannot change the veterans who already supported the goal in advance, but can affect those veterans who are still neutral.

This is what Davers hopes to see: Only in this fiercely competitive situation can one be mediocre. In the past, veterans who did not do anything dared to run for election, avoid being stingy by everyone's eyes wide open and causing embarrassment and unable to get out of the stage. This is how the elected regional chief executives are at least above the level.

The final result of the selection - Feidun won.

While Miron applauded and congratulated Feidun, he felt a little more uneasy. Although the election progress was indeed as Lucias expected, he felt nervous when he saw the competition so fiercely.

"The next one to be elected is the Syracuse area!"

The name "Syracuse" alone is enough to attract many veterans to participate in the election, but when the etiquette officer shouted out the name of Philicius, everyone felt nervous: the army's people are finally going to take action!

"I elect Lord Adrianx!" Phylliscius said this and stopped, because he believed that the political achievements Adrianx had made were well-known and he didn't need to say more, but it gave many veterans an impression: the people sent by the army were indeed domineering!

His recommendation scared some candidates away and aroused the dissatisfaction of others. Therefore, there were several people participating in the election. The debate was still fierce, but the final result of the vote was still - Adrianx won the election with a high vote.

Facts have proved that as one of the founders of Dionia, another important faction of the Senate, the military faction, usually does not speak out much at meetings, but once they become serious, they can influence the direction of the meeting.

"The next choice is the southern coast of Sicily!"

Anta Oris's words made Davers pay a little more attention, because he originally wanted to be Amicles, but now Amicles has become the chief executive of the Straits of Messina, and he wants to see what kind of candidates the veterans will launch.

Unexpectedly, the first name the etiquette officer called surprised him: "Mr. Amintas!"
