"Marigi, you reminded me. It seems that while sending someone to Carthage, we will also send someone to contact Cyrenega. One more channel to buy food will make you more safe!" Davers corrected it in time.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you all the time to buy food, but where does this money come from?! You must know that the treasury can't even take out a Drakma!" Melsis asked loudly, without regard to Davers's new identity at all.

Of course, Davers would not care about this small problem. He lightly stood on the back of the chair with his right hand. On his way back to Turiyi, he thought about this issue. Now, after understanding the real financial situation of Dionia, his ideas became more solid: "Melsis, do you remember that when we fought with Crotone the second time, the treasury was exhausted. What measures did we take to overcome the difficulties?"

Melsis slapped his head and shouted, "Oh, why did I forget this! War bonds! We can issue war bonds again!"

"No, we will not issue war bonds! The consumption of this war is huge. If bonds are issued, then even if the war is won, the alliance will seriously affect its future development because of its huge debts!" ​​Davers stood up, his eyes firm and tone was firm and heavy: "This war is not only related to my interests, nor is it only related to the interests of your elders in the Senate, but also to the life and death of the millions of people in Dionia, whether we are eliminated by Syracuse, killed or become slaves? Or to completely defeat Syracuse, pull it off from the throne of Greek overlords in the Western Mediterranean, and to win a broader and more brilliant future for the Alliance people?!

So, this is a national war! It requires everyone in our alliance to devote their strength to their own strength and gather them together to fight Syracuse in the final battle! Whoever can persevere to the end will win the battle of hegemony!

Therefore, I suggest that the Senate advocate the people of the Dionysian Union to raise funds, and I will be the first fundraiser! In addition to maintaining the normal supply of three meals a day for family and slaves, I donate all the remaining reserved food! In the past few years, the profits earned by my wife's banks, restaurants and shops, besides maintaining normal expenses, are donated to the alliance for the needs of the war!"

Davers's words shocked the four people present.

Capps shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, I would like to be the second donor!"

"And I, Your Majesty!" Mariji followed and said, "The Alliance is my home. If it is gone, no matter how much gold and silver it is left, it will be useless. I am willing to contribute my loyalty to the Alliance!"

"Don't forget that we are Bissinians, your majesty!" Bajilipi said sincerely: "The Bissinians are already inseparable from the alliance. Not only do I want to donate myself, I will also return to Bissinian and call on others to donate too!"

Seeing that the other three people expressed their opinions one after another, Melsis hesitated for a while before gritting her teeth and saying, "Okay, I'll donate too.

…………………………………

In the afternoon, the Senate passed a resolution: in order to win this great war with Syracuse, the people of Dionia were called on the people of Deonia to unite and donate money and food to the alliance that was already scarce, so as to help the alliance overcome this difficulty!

The news soon spread throughout Turiyi, Amendolara, Bissinia...

While the people were still talking fiercely, another shocking news soon came: Davers, the new king of Dionys, was the first to stand up and generously donated to the alliance: 51 tarants, 3,500 draces, more than three tons of wheat, dozens of cattle and sheep... Ribazo, the slave manager of Davers's mansion, brought the supplies to the Victory Square, and allowed the treasury public officials led by the financial officer Melsis to receive them.

When every citizen saw the pack team passing by, they were greatly touched.

However, this stimulation continued, because immediately afterwards, Kunogorata, Cornerus, Scomblas, Rafias... all the senators announced that they would donate property and grains to the alliance.

When they saw one cart after another full of cargo entering the city gates of Turiyi and driving towards the square, the people finally couldn't help it. They conveyed a slogan to each other that came out at some time: "The alliance is our alliance. If the alliance is prosperous, the family will be rich. If the alliance perishes, the home will not exist!" "We should not be slaves to the cruel Syracuse people. As long as we unite and contribute and carry out the war to the end, victory will definitely belong to Dionia!"...

If the people were confused and pessimistic about the prospects of the war before yesterday, and after two big victories, they had regained their confidence in victory. The new king Davers and the elders took the lead in donating, and these quickly circulated slogans made the people realize the difficulties faced by the alliance and awakened the sense of responsibility they shouldered as the Dionians, so everyone began to act.

Not only that, even the soldiers in the barracks were willing to Davers to return home, prepare their property and food, and donate to the alliance.

Davers agreed with the situation and announced that the first, second and seventh legions were temporarily disbanded and returned to the barracks to report before noon tomorrow. Those who were late were punished by military law.

The Turiyi area, which had been deserted for many days, finally became lively again on this day. People brought slaves, holding or carrying cash boxes, purses, and carrying load animals carrying grains stored in their homes, from Amendorara, from Bissinia, from the outskirts of Turiyi, from Turiyi port, Turiyi city... from all directions and rushed to the square...

"Pariandolos, you are coming very quickly!" Aguilas shouted loudly when he saw Parisandolos and his son Patrocros lined up in front of him.

"Uncle Aguilas!" Patrocros waved with excitement.

"Little Cross, I heard that you helped your father manage the village and repelled the sneak attacks of the Syracuse sailors. You did a good job! You have become a soldier of Dionia!" Aguilas was very pleased to see the naughty little guy who used to perform so well.

"But the Legion still refuses to let me serve!" Paltrowcross complained.

"You are less than 18 years old and do not comply with the provisions of the Military Law. Please wait for two years." Aguilas remembered his age, so he comforted him.

"Wait a little longer?! Wait until this war is over!" Paltrowros said aggrievedly.

"Don't worry, after this war is over, there will be another war. The battles you will participate in in the future are indispensable!" Aguilas said with emotion.

At this time, Parisandolos had handed over the supplies he carried to the slaves and turned around to salute.

Aguilas also returned to the Israeli military salute.

Aguilas is a veteran legion soldier, and Parisandolos is also a legion soldier. Although he retired from active service due to injuries and injuries, the mark of the Dionian legion has been left in his bones.

In such a crowded and noisy environment, both disabled people were marching against each other, and the people around them did not feel funny or interesting. Instead, they looked at them with respect.

"Sir Aguilas, you are unable to move, so there is no need to come in person. Just ask the slaves to deliver things to the square." Parisandolos said with concern.

Why is he called Lord Aguilas? That's because he has been promoted to Chief Demo.

With the continuous influx of immigrants and the rapid development of the Dionian Alliance in recent years, the suburbs of cities, especially Turiyi, are no longer sparse villages on the vast plains at the beginning. Not only are the populations becoming dense, but the number of villages has also increased. Villages have appeared to facilitate the convenience of distance from the urban area or the market. Villagers who are busy working to buy their needs nearby, or to entertain and exercise nearby during the slack farm. More importantly, in order to facilitate the management of these scattered farms in various cities, some administrative tasks can be handed over to these villages and towns, such as tax collection, military training, etc.

Therefore, the chief executives of each city in the alliance suggested to the Senate that an additional administrative division should be added between cities and villages.

It happened that Davers' proposal that "cities should set up local councils" was approved in the Senate. Sesta followed the investigation of the situation in the suburbs of each city, and also referred to the political systems of other city-states, especially Athens, and finally made a suggestion to the Senate: add Demo (i.e., townships).

However, the Dermo that Dionys wants to implement is not like the Dermo in Athens. A Dermo in Athens must include a seaside village, a mountain village, and a urban area, which is not adjacent to each other. This management is too complicated. Instead, the Dermo in Dionys puts the surrounding villages under its jurisdiction, which is more convenient to manage, thus improving administrative efficiency.

At the same time, the Chief Executive of Demo in Dionia, who performs well from the villages under his jurisdiction, is nominated by the Chief Executive of the City and appointed by the Public Office Management Committee of the Dionia Alliance. Compared with the village chief elected by the villagers, Chief Executive of Demo has entered the public office list of the Senate, and the administrative power of the district is only lower than that of the Chief Executive of the city, he is already considered a middle-level official in the alliance. It is not an exaggeration to call him "Master", and the village in Parisoros is under its jurisdiction.

"What sir, I am not the same as you." Demo's system was just implemented, and soon encountered the invasion of Syracuse and was temporarily terminated. Therefore, Aguilas had not adapted to this change of identity: "You and I were both soldiers of the army and participated in the battle. They knew the importance of military rations to the army. Without food, the soldiers would go hungry, and even the most powerful army would defeat the war, so I must come! I have to give a good start to the people in our place! In addition to leaving me and my family enough to maintain the food harvest until next autumn, I donated all the other foods. I hope Davers... His Majesty can use these donated materials to organize a powerful army to completely defeat the Syracuse people, so that our land will no longer be destroyed by these damn enemies!"

"You are right, Lord Aguilas! If we don't support the Legion first, will others still support it?" Parisandolos said excitedly, and heard shouts ringing around him.
Chapter completed!
