Davers patiently explained to him: "Which one is better to force them to work with sticks and to work voluntarily?"

"Of course it's the latter."

"More importantly, I don't want them to be slaves, but to make them citizens of Amendorara. Only in this way can we continue to strengthen our strength! And think about it, one day, when the indigenous people in the Lucania region were trembling in fear under the threat of our shields, they saw that some soldiers in our ranks had the same appearance, spoke the same language, but were wearing Greek armor, eating Greek food, and chatting with the Greeks without restraint. What would they think?"

Ascesters pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "They may surrender."

"Yes, Bagules and others are role models for the Lucanians, letting them know that if they surrender to us, they will not only not be abused, but will live a good life. Think about the way Persia treats foreigners, and we will do better than Persia, because we will treat foreigners more equally, accept them more tolerantly become our citizens, and let them enjoy the same rights as us. Only in this way can they eliminate their estrangement from us, and make Amendorara become strong quickly!..." Davers said seriously and passionately. On the way forward in this era, he did not want to be a loner. He wanted to spread his political ideas to those around him, infect them, and change the narrow city-state thoughts of the Greeks.

Ascesters was convinced: "Sir, you think so far!"

"Yasi, I heard that you didn't choose a wife this time. Are you interested in choosing a Lucanian woman to be your wife? Otherwise, I'll ask Bagule if he has any sisters, so just be relatives with him." Davers said jokingly.

Ascesters immediately remembered Bagule's vicious appearance and shook his head repeatedly.

"To be honest, if you really marry a Lucanian woman, one day we conquer the Lucanian region, maybe I will appoint you as the governor of Lucania." Davers said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Governor?!Assistes remembered the majestic appearance of the Governor of Asia Minor, Tissofnis, in Persia. As a young man, he was really moved. He did not think about it carefully. In the entire Mediterranean region, the position of Governor was only available in the Persian Empire, and the Governor could only be appointed by the Persian king...

Looking at the back of Acesters leaving, Davers was still wondering whether to set up a low-level public office under the consul, the clerk, so that Acesters can do things right, and Davers can also practice it to cultivate a group of like-minded young people and become his good assistant to govern the city-state in the future.

Davers was thinking, and Cristoya came in and told him: "Oliver is here."

Davers was a little confused: What's wrong with this guy coming so late?

Olivers' voice had already come in: "Sir, your house is so big! If no one is leading it, I will definitely get lost... Oh, this marble statue is really good. Which master's masterpiece is it? Look at the outline of these muscles..." Olivers made a big call in a mess.

Davers looked at him: "If you don't talk about the serious matters, I'll drive you out!"

"No! No! I really have something to do and ask you for help!" Olivers said hurriedly: "Sir, you must help me in this matter!" He begged.

"What's the matter?!" Davers was impatient on the surface, and became more and more interested in Olivers' affairs.

Olivers suddenly became squeamish and whispered, "I think...I want to ask you to help me... propose marriage to Marigi."

"What? Proposal?" Davers really didn't hear it clearly this time.

Olivers took a breath and then said loudly: "I fell in love with Marigi's daughter Mitra, and I want you to help me propose marriage to Marigi!"

Davers now understood: It turns out that Martonis and his friends are joking in the past few days are real! When did this guy fall in love with Marigi's daughter?

Davers could no longer remember what Mariji's daughter looked like, and she only remembered that she was a petite and shy girl.

"Do you like others, do they like you?" Davers first needs to figure out this issue.

"Of course she is willing to be with me!" Olivers said confidently.

"Does Marigi know about this?" Davers asked again.

"He doesn't know. However, Mitra's mother agrees with us, but she can't make the decision."

Of course she couldn't make a decision. In this era, whether Greeks or Persians, men were the ones. If it were before, with Olivers' unruly, Davers would not have considered this matter at all, but since that incident, he has indeed changed a lot. Not only did he not rob women, but he would have dissuaded others. One was his savior, and the other was a talent who he regarded as his arms. Davers was happy to see their union: "I will propose marriage to Marige and try my best to match you, but the key is to depend on your performance." As soon as Davers finished speaking, Olivers jumped happily: "Great! Great! Davers, you are such a great person!" Olivers excitedly gave Davers a tight hug.

Watching Olivers walk out of the courtyard singing and dancing, Davers laughed in silence: he was actually sent a good person card!

…………………………

The next morning, the single new citizens protested in front of the Senate, demanding that their spouse problems be resolved and made suggestions: it is acceptable to marry Lucanian women.

The Senate held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. Amid the continuous protests outside the hospital, the Senate, led by the Chief Senate Davers, passed a resolution helplessly (Davs and the new citizens were acting), agreeing that the new citizens would marry Lucanian women who were once enemies of Amendorala.

At the same time, the Senate also passed another resolution: to turn all the Lucanian prisoners into city-state slaves, working free of charge until death. But no Amendorans shall harm these slaves, because they are the wealth of the city-state.

After that, Davers proposed another proposal.

Seeing that Davers wanted to propose another proposal, Cornerus was unconsciously nervous because Davers' proposal repeatedly broke the tradition of Amendolar, which made Cornerus feel a little depressed, but this time the proposal was relatively normal.

Before attacking the Lukari tribe coalition, Davers made a promise to the slaves: to give them freedom after victory.

After annihilated the Lucanian coalition, Turiyi brought back more than a thousand slaves they sent to Davers back to the city, and also brought back Davers' request: to fulfill the pre-war promise and give them freedom. The remaining nearly three hundred slaves were plundered by mercenaries in Persia, and accompanied them to go through countless battles and hardships. According to Davers's words, these slaves were our own people. Therefore, more than 20 veterans passed Davers' proposal unanimously.

However, another proposal from Davers next caused controversy: becoming a slave to a free citizen can leave freely or apply to become a citizen of Amendoral.

Stromboli stood up first and expressed his strong opposition: "Amendorala has never had this precedent, allowing slaves to become citizens of the city-state! If he does this, Amendorala will become a laughing stock of Great Greece!" His words were recognized by several old citizens and elders.

At this time, Antonios rose up and retorted: "Please note that after the previous bill was passed, they were no longer slaves, but free people. Every city-state has a precedent for accepting free people as citizens, and Amendorala was even more so. He accepted us outsiders and made us citizens of Amendorala, including a Persian! Why can't we be tolerant of these free people? And we are already discussing the Immigration Act proposed by Lord Davers, and now we are taking these people who were slaves, now free people, and have made contributions and sacrifices to Amendorala as the first beneficiaries of this bill!"

The new citizens agreed, while the old citizens were speechless for a moment.

Amintas stood up and told the story of his life being saved by a slave while fighting in Persia. Finally, he shouted: "They are not slaves, but our brothers! We should give them rewards!"

Helps briefly describes how slaves in the medical camp assisted doctors day and night to rescue the wounded.

Then, Melsis also exaggeratedly said: how his slaves quickly calculated money, distributed supplies, and did not make any mistakes, thus providing the best guarantee for the mercenaries to win battles. He proudly claimed that they were the best managers!

Although there were only twenty-one people in the venue, the atmosphere gradually became warmer and Daves didn't need to speak. This proposal was passed. After discussion, the resolution formed was: After these free people applied for the confirmation of the citizens of Amendora, they had a two-year inspection period. After living in the territory of Amendora within two years, they must learn to speak Greek and be familiar with the laws of the city-state of Amendora. There is no record of violations of laws and regulations. After the two-year inspection period, they will pay two hundred drachmas to the city-state to obtain preparatory citizenship. When Amendora has a major action, if they can participate voluntarily, such as war, the inspection period can be shortened according to the achievements they have made.

At this time, the elders did not realize that the passage of this proposal, together with the last Davers Immigration Act, had a profound impact on the later Mediterranean Greek history, and the examples of Marigi and these 300 slaves becoming Greek citizens became an important precedent for the city-state under Davers' rule to accept free people and slaves (that is, legal principles that can be followed).

There is another update after 11 o'clock!
