"Oh, which two are they?" Carrios was extremely curious and leaned forward.

"First Article-" Siphorus slowly placed a wooden sign on the table and said: "Anyone can apply for the right to citizenship of Dionys. Whether it is a gentile, a captured citizen of an enemy state, or even a liberated slave, he can become a citizen of Dionys as long as he meets the requirements of the bill..."

Canios gasped, and Elia would also give some free peoples and city-states citizenship, but that was all because of war, shortage of soldiers and labor. It is really hard to imagine that like Dionia is open to citizenship all the time: "This... this... in this way, does Dionia's citizenship seem less important? It cannot enjoy so many alliance rights? And what kind of people can become alliance citizens? How can the order of the city-state be maintained?..."

"Dionia's citizenship is very attractive!" Faced with many questions from Canios, Cyporus shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not mentioning other rights, the right of each new citizen to be assigned to the 'five acres of land' is enough to make the free people crazy. Not to mention, based on the military achievements obtained by citizens' service, they can also be assigned to new land."

"This... is it true?!" Canios felt unbelievable. He couldn't help swallowing. For the Elia citizens who had been trapped in the city for a long time, the land had a great temptation for them.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, in the previous decisive battle between Dionia and Crotone, why did Dionia, who had few troops, easily recruit 7,000 free people without spending money, and the free people were extremely brave to help Dionia defeat Crotone because of the temptation of Dionia's citizenship." Siphorus looked around the diners who were talking enthusiastically around and turned around and continued, "As for whether it would disrupt the order of the city-state, there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 people present at today's celebration ceremony?"

After Cypolos' reminder, Canios immediately understood: "The first time I saw a league celebration or festival, there were so many people attending it, and there was no big mess. I'm afraid it was not only because there were a large number of patrol soldiers there to maintain order."

Siphorus whispered: "Of course, this has a lot to do with the constraints of the laws of the Dionysian Union on citizens and even the slaves of the free people. The city of Turiyi is more than other city-states, not only patrols, but also courts. These courts not only judge cases and disputes, but also record the names of those who violate the law. If they are free people, it will affect whether they can obtain citizenship on time; if they are citizens, it will affect their land allocation... Therefore, for a better future, most people living in Dionys will consciously abide by the laws here..."

"This is really a great way! Over time, the Dionians naturally developed the habit of abiding by the law. No wonder..." Canios couldn't help but praise: "This plan fundamentally solves the disorder of order that Dionian may cause due to the complex source of the people. I don't know who proposed it at the beginning..."

He saw a smile appearing on Siphorus's face, and then he realized: "Is it Davers again?"

Siphorus nodded.

Canios shrugged helplessly, and he had nothing to say to the consul of Dionia.

"What is the second law?" Cyporus's familiarity with Dionia and his unique insights deepened Canios' deep understanding of Dionia, so he was eager to know more.

"Ziban." Siprous spitted two words out of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a strange look: "Dionia's method of dealing with Ziban or occupying land is very different from that of most Greek city-states."

"What's the difference?" Canios asked anxiously by Siphorus's words again.

"Asprestum, do you know?"

"I heard that it was a Bruti town, and later became a sub-state of Crotone, and now it has joined the Dionian League."

"Take Asprestum as an example. What did the Crotones do after they occupied it? Kill all the Brutis in the city and moved the Crotone citizens who had no land to the city of Asprestum, and implemented the same system as Crotone in this town." Sipros laid a piece of cattle tripe, threw it into his mouth, and said with a sarcastic smile: "The residents of Asprestum are Crotone citizens, and the political system is Crotone's political system. Logically speaking, Asprestum has become a completely part of Crotone, but why did two riots occur in Asprestum in the past few decades and demand to leave Crotone?"

"Has there been two riots in Asprestum?" Canios was a little surprised. In his impression, Asprestum was a town in Crotone.

"Yes, twice." Siprous stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "Because Crotone quickly quelled the riot and deliberately blocked the news, it is normal for you Elia to be far north... Although Asprestum was indeed completely affiliated with Crotone, 20 years later, the situation changed. According to Crotone's laws, only Asprestum men whose father was a citizen of Crotone can become Crotone citizens. As time goes by, some Gentiles came to Asprestum and married women in the city. Their children were unable to become Crotone citizens, but they could only become citizens of Asprestum. Some people were born in this small town and became adults here. Their feelings for Asprestum exceeded those of Crotone and were unwilling to apply to become Crotone citizens...

In this way, there are more and more real Asprostum citizens in this small town, surpassing Crotone's citizens. Then their willingness to safeguard the interests of Asprostum only exceeds the interests of Crotone. For the Crotone people, because their blood relationship is getting farther and farther away, they treat Asprostum people more and more like slaves, not their own people. When war breaks out, the Asprostum people rush to the forefront; when land disputes arise, they tend to be Crotone... In this way, the Asprostum people are increasingly resentful of Crotone, how can they not demand independence?!"

When Canios heard this, he nodded and took a big sip of beer.

"Crotone took measures against Asprostum after the riots - killing the people who resolutely resisted Crotone, and then moving a large number of Crotone citizens to this small town, and supporting the Asprostum people close to Crotone, and allowing the Crotone citizens to take control of Asprostum's supreme power. But after more than a decade, Asprostum still rioted again, and the situation was the same as last time... As far as I know, the Greek city-state is concerned, the colonies and occupied lands are generally handled in this way.

Method: Asprestum is very close to Crotone, and Crotone is a powerful city-state in Greece. It has enough power to control the small town of Asprestum. This still happens. Those who are far away from the mother state, or whose mother state is not strong, cannot unite with the son state and strengthen their own strength in the future. This situation is very common, which is quite good. What's more terrifying is that the mother state becomes enemies with the son state, and there are many such examples!..." Siporus said with sighing.

His words reminded Canios of Elia's mother state. Elia once sent an envoy to ask for help from the mother state. The mother state ignored Elia's plight and refused to provide any help. Both sides had become strangers. Canios was a little sad: "You are right!" As he said that, he raised the wine jar and invited Sipoulos to have a drink.

Wiping off the foam from his mouth, he asked with interest: "How did Dionia treat the occupied land?"

Siphorus picked up another wooden sign and put it on the wooden table, and slowly said: "After Dionys occupied Asprestum, the first bill to be implemented was to declare that 'Asprestum people who were willing to stay will become citizens of Dionys."

"Ah?!" Canios looked surprised.

"Although there are few people who choose to stay, I think they made the right choice." After emphasizing, Siprost continued: "The second bill that Dionia quickly implemented was to assign public officials to Aspresitum to govern, and the highest administrator of the city is the city administrator, and the senate must be the senate. I remember that the current city chief of Aspresitum is... Hilos of the senate, a senate with close ties with Davers.

You see, the residents of Asprestum are now citizens of Dionys, and the law of Dionys stipulates that, ‘As long as either parent is a Dionys, his children will be Dionys as soon as they are born. In addition, the power of Asprestum is directly appointed by the Senate, and any Dionys citizen can apply to serve as a city-state public office. After a considerable period of time, those who have rich experience and perform well can become a Dionys Senate.’”

Siphorus said with a slightly excited expression: "In this way, the residents living in Asprestum are unlikely to betray the Dionysian Union, both now and in the future, because they enjoy the same rights as the Dionysian citizens of other cities in the alliance. Asprestum is already part of the Dionysian Union, and the senate of the alliance sends people to directly manage it, whether it is paying taxes or serving in the military, which directly enhances the power of the alliance.

In the past, when Dionia was weaker than Crotone, it was able to gather soldiers and resources similar to Crotone because its political system could better concentrate all the power of the city under its jurisdiction! And Crotone did not even support it with Asprostum, let alone its allies Cilicate and Trina. This is probably the most feared thing about the Dionya League. Every time it obtains a piece of land, it strengthens the power of the alliance!"
