Chapter 371 How to be a patriarch in Dionia

Tibruce understood his thoughts and shook his head and said, "There is no clan in our Kingdom of Dionia, and the law stipulates that 'women also have the right to inherit.' After the husband dies, as long as he proves that his wife has always abide by the morality of his wife, she can inherit all the property of her husband. However, if she gets married again, the newly married husband will be able to jointly own the property of his wife at least five years after marriage, except for special circumstances.

However, you are a veteran of the kingdom and don’t need to worry about the housing problem. Although there are no extra open space in the inner city, there are still a lot of public land in the outer city. Thanks to His Majesty’s order after the founding of the city, ‘Give all the lands around the inner city of Turiyi as public ownership and cannot be sold.’ It seems so wise now!

Later, the Senate also issued similar orders to other towns according to this order. At that time, the Senate would definitely draw a piece of residential land in the outer city near the inner city, which would belong to you free of charge. The Construction Department would also send someone to build your house according to your needs, without you needing to spend an Opol..."

After hearing this, Publius felt relaxed. He shaved a lot of sweat off his face with his hands and said gratefully: "Tibrus, thank you very much for your explanation! You have always taken great care of me along the way from Rome to Turiyi. No matter how you feel, I have regarded you as my first friend since joining Dionia, a real friend!"

"Ah... I really didn't expect... but I'm really honored to be your friend of Lord Publius! Then please allow me... to regard you as a good friend!" Tibruce's voice trembled, obviously a little excited.

"That's great! When I move to Tuliyi, I will rely on you to give me more advice and help."

"Mr. Publius, if you need my help, please give me your instructions! I grew up in Turiyi, and I am very familiar with it and have many friends. But when you gain a firm foothold in Turiyi, I will ask you for help then!"

The two laughed and suddenly felt that they were getting closer.

So Publius asked directly: "Tibruce, what should I do best if I want to gain a foothold in Turiy as soon as possible?"

Tibruce thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Publius, it depends first on what you want. If you want to be comfortable and not accept any position, you just attend the Senate meeting on time as a veteran, express your opinions and vote, and you can receive a considerable salary every month. Some veterans live this way, and they live very freely.

But I think you are not such a person. If you want to make a difference, you must first be familiar with the laws of our Dionia. I know that Rome is also a city-state that values ​​law, but the laws of the kingdom are not only extremely numerous, but also have a wide coverage. If you understand it, you will not make mistakes after moving to Turiy and become a laughing stock of the people. It will also allow you to make targeted opinions in the Senate, so that you will not make mistakes and be laughed at by the Senate."

Publius nodded and said, "You are right. I had borrowed the law book from Ascesters when I was in Rome and started reading it, but it was not careful enough. It seems that more energy needs to be put into it."

"Secondly, you should hire a tutor to teach you how to speak Dionian. Your Greek is very good, but Greek does not mean Dionian. Not only does it pronounce it a little differently, but there are many new words in Dionian. I believe you have already felt it in your previous contact with us. Only when you can really speak Dionian will the people of Turiyi truly accept you."

Publius nodded seriously again.

Tibruce continued: "You must take every meeting of the Senate seriously, attend on time, abide by the order of the venue, express your opinions actively, and have your own unique insights, rather than echoing like some people. Especially when talking about some issues in Rome and Latinx, you must actively speak and control the direction of the entire issue, because you are from Rome and you are more familiar with that place than them. And you must often contact Rome and friends in daily life to learn more about the situation there so that you can take the initiative to raise issues and solve some problems in Rome or Latinx. If this continues, you can represent the interests of the Roman or Latinx in the Senate and have a certain influence in the Kingdom..."

Publius was a little moved by his words and nodded frequently.

But Tibruce increased his voice and said, "However, speaking in the Senate and talking, no matter how powerful it is, it will not be respected by the people, and it will not be valued by His Majesty! As far as I know, His Majesty summoned the palace to discuss matters, held banquets and hosted guests, and visited ministers who had real power and had done practical things. Therefore, if you want to achieve greater development in the kingdom, you must do practical things."

"Do something practical..." Publius muttered in a low voice.

"That's right! In the past, some veterans who joined the kingdom like you did not want to serve as public offices in some middle and low-level kingdoms. They always hoped to take the position of the chief executive of the town directly, but they never seemed to have passed the Senate. You just joined the kingdom and were not familiar with the situation of the kingdom, and your Majesty and the senior veterans did not understand your abilities. They would not give you important tasks, so you should lower your status and strive to hold some lower positions first.

However, in the city of Turiyi, even for middle and low-level positions, they are always full and not easy to obtain. However, you can go to Bissinia, Castron, Amendorala in the Turiyi region... These places are relatively easy. They serve as the Finance Department, Commerce Department, Agricultural Department, Construction Department, Supervision Department, etc. of these towns and town halls. After they become familiar with government affairs, they will gradually become the head of a town department, and finally serve as the deputy chief of the town administrative department.

After this, you can take the initiative to apply when the Senate meeting elects a new town chief executive. As long as your Majesty is satisfied with your past political achievements, you will be taken into consideration..."

"How long does it take to do this like this?"

"It's not like before, it's getting stricter and stricter now. It will take about four or five years."

"Four, five years, so long..."

Tibruce sneered and said, "It only takes four or five years to join the kingdom, and it is already very good! For example, if we pass the exam and take office as a public office in the kingdom, even if we work hard for 20 years, as long as we don't become a veteran, we will never become a veteran! But if we want to become a veteran, alas... it's not that easy!

However, I heard some rumors, 'Your Majesty will discuss with the rotating chairman to amend the law, so that officials who are not veterans can also take up this position!' I think this is definitely not a rumor. This war has added a lot of land to the kingdom. In many towns, it is not enough to only let the elders serve as the chief executive of the town, not to mention that I also heard that in the future, a fixed position of governor of the kingdom will be set up..."

"Governor?!..."

"This... don't expect it for the time being. The position of the governor must be those senior veterans who have outstanding political achievements, strong abilities, and have made enough merits to give His Majesty the opportunity to take office. You, at least you have to wait for more than a dozen or twenty years before you have the opportunity."

“…”

After a while, when Tibruce saw that the other side did not respond, he hurriedly asked, "Sir Publius, are you okay?"

"I...is okay..."

When Tibruce heard his voice weak, he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly said, "Sir, we have been in the fumigation room for a long time and are prone to dizziness. We have to go out quickly!"

As he said that, Tibruce went over to help him up. The two of them seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and they kept dripping sweat from their bodies, swaying out of the fumigation room and entering another small room.

The temperature here is relatively low, and there is no water mist. There are two wooden beds in the room, with neatly stacked cloth towels, and a shiny copper pot and several slender and curved stew knives hanging on the wall.

Publius sat by the bed, looking around while recovering his energy.

But Tibruce shouted: "Is anyone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door opposite was pushed open, and two bare-body servants came in, bowing respectfully and said, "Sir, what are the instructions?"

"You should be waiting here and check in the fumigation room at any time. What if we faint?" Tibruce criticized.

"Sir, we were waiting in this room, but later we heard you talking loudly inside, so we temporarily retreated to other rooms. Moreover, the bath manager told us before that there was an adult who was Turiyiren, so we thought there would be no problem..." One of the slaves quickly defended.

Tibruce's face turned slightly red. He was just now spending time chatting and almost made a mistake. He quickly coughed a few times: "Give us a massage."

Massage? This is another fresh word that Publius cannot understand.

The two servants immediately and diligently wiped them dry their sweat, then let them lie on the narrow wooden bed, and began to massage their backs.

Publius saw the man slapping Tibruce repeatedly with his hands. Tibruce looked very comfortable and enjoyable. But when he was massaged, the servant's fingers seemed to have magical power. Every time he pressed it, he felt a strong swelling feeling. He originally wanted to lie down and continue with Tibruce's previous topic, but now he couldn't help but scream "Ah! Ah!" and couldn't continue talking.
