Chapter 19 Election of the Chief Executive (2)
After Davers found out, he sent an envoy to negotiate.
Syracuse was at this time under the low eaves and had to bow his head, so how could he dare not disagree?
As a result, nearly 3,000 people left from Syracuse at once, and the leader was the Thalis. The thousands of people did not go to Leotini. Most of them came to Katanai at that time. At that time, Katanai occupied almost half of the Catanian plains and was short of population and labor. Of course, he accepted them without hesitation. As the leader of these more than 2,000 people, Tiens eventually became the veteran of Dionys.
However, Thalis did not like to stay with other Sicily elders, but was closer to the former mercenary elders. He had served as the inspector of Turiyi and had served in the Military Affairs Department. He could still put down his etiquette of a veteran and actively participate in military training in the military camp. In the end, he became a captain of the Turiyi Legion reserve team.
Dionysia has been the Chief Executive of Niutum for five years. He has spent three years smoothly and has not performed particularly well in governing. After all, Niutum, as the first Lucanian territory to be incorporated into the Dionysian League, has devoted all his efforts to it. Whether it is system, agriculture, trade, and public construction, he only needs Xiao Guicao to follow. After the term ends, the evaluation of the Kingdom Officials Management Committee is "good".
But Devers discovered that the people of Niutum were reluctant to leave his departure, which was a bit special. You should know that Tellis had been in Sicily before and had no chance to contact the Lucans, but he could treat the Greeks and Lucans equally from the bottom of his heart in Niutum, which was particularly rare.
So Davers appointed him again as Chief Executive of Wigg City, and his trait was revealed again among the people of Bruty. Therefore, although he had just left office less than two months ago, Davers still felt that he was the right candidate for the Chief Executive of Enona after Nico Marcus.
What happened today?! The position of Chief Executive of Enona actually led to competition among four excellent veterans! This made Davers cheer up.
After Cornerus once again identified the names of the four candidates to the elders, he announced that the vote began.
The elders cut a small piece of papyrus they carried with them, wrote the name of the elder they wanted to choose with a pen, and then walked to the wooden table in front of Cornerus, with a large ballot box on it.
Supreme Ombudsman Sesta and Supreme Judge Terry Toddmos stood aside to supervise, mainly to prevent the elders from cheating and voting more.
Of course, among the elders, there are illiterate people, and they will raise their hands to signal. Then an orderer and an ombudsman in the venue will come to him. The orderer will write the name the elder whispered on paper, and the ombudsman will supervise whether he writes it wrong.
For illiterate senators, it is actually a very embarrassing thing to ask someone to write in front of everyone. After one or two years of experience, they often take the initiative to find teachers to learn to read and write in order to get out of this dilemma as soon as possible. For example, most of the former mercenaries got rid of the title of illiteracy because of this reason. Now the senators who do not know Greek in the venue are mainly from the Puchetti who entered the Senate at the latest.
After counting the votes, Adrianx, followed by Thalis, Miron, and finally Nico Marcus, which was exactly consistent with Davers's previous estimate: without secretly intervening, the former mercenary veteran, as the largest group among the veterans, mostly voted for his comrade Adrianx, who got along well with everyone. For Nico Marcus, even if ten years have passed, the resentment of the elders of other cities in Greece towards the Locres has not been completely eliminated, otherwise the number of votes he received would not be very different from the other three, and it is not completely matched with his abilities.
Davers sighed inwardly and looked at Nick Marcus, but there was no frustration on his face, obviously expecting it.
When Davers declared Adrianx the new Chief Executive of Enona, he stood up and thanked Davers, while also thanking the other veterans.
According to the Senate's requirements and the itinerary from Turiyi to Enona, Adrianques must arrive in Enona within eight days to take office. This time is not urgent, but it is not very affordable.
Before leaving, he had to go to the palace to listen to some suggestions from King Davers to take office, assign some tasks and requirements, and also to learn about the details of Enona's various aspects from the Minister of Finance, Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Commerce and other important kingdom officials. Of course, he could also make some requests to Davers and the ministers, such as applying for some funds, or transferring several middle and lower-level officials from various departments that he thought were trustworthy... Whether it is accurate or not depends on whether Davers and the ministers agree.
Finally, he had to get a letter of inauguration with the king's signature before he could leave. Otherwise, when he arrived in Enona, there would be no official documents, and local officials would not obey his command.
Although Adrianx is not the most suitable candidate for Chief Executive in Davers, Adrianx's performance over the past decade has exceeded his expectations and has given him many surprises, so he still has considerable expectations for his future performance.
"Sir, who else has any important proposals to say next?!" Cornerus asked loudly.
No one responded in the venue and became a little calmer.
Davers waited for a while and was about to get up and return to the palace. Over the years, he gradually began to review the internal affairs of the kingdom with the Senate, pass, and establish various bills of Dionys, and transfer them to the palace to handle them. In addition to the election of the new senate, the election of important official positions, the discussion of important bills, the establishment of the new bill, war, diplomacy and other major matters, he would attend the Grand Seminar Hall and make the final decision, he stayed in the palace's office for other times, dealing with complicated kingdom affairs.
When Davers left, like Marigi, Melsis, Phyllisius... these elders who had important positions in the kingdom would also get up and leave and go to the palace to work. Because at some point, Davers would send someone to ask them about a matter under their jurisdiction.
Raodician anxiously touched Antonios beside him with his hand, signaling him to get up and speak.
But Antonios couldn't sit firmly.
Seeing that Davers had already stood up, Raodician couldn't help but stand up suddenly: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal to say, please wait a moment!"
Antonios hurriedly turned his head and whispered: "Raodician, didn't I tell you not to mention this today! Sit down for me!"
Raodisian ignored him and still stood.
Davers showed a playful expression and sat down slowly: "What important proposal does Lord Raodisian have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I just selected the new Chief Executive of Enona." Raodician said anxiously: "Why not take this opportunity to elect the new Chief Executive of Naxos? Lord Stromboli's term is over in four days!"
"Laodisien, what do you mean by saying this! Before Stromboli comes back, you will start to elect the next Chief Executive of Naxos!" Trittodmos shouted dissatisfiedly, because he and Stromboli have a good relationship with them, both Amendoralan and have worked together for so many years.
Raodician asked Terry Toddmos for his request. When he saw that he was unhappy, he immediately explained with a smile: "Mr. Terry Toddmos, hasn't Lord Stlomboli written a letter to the Senate before? He will no longer run for the next Chief Executive of Naxos! We will choose the successor here and go hand in handing over to him earlier. Isn't it just enough to leave Naxos whom he has worked hard for three years? There have been many such examples before."
"Lord Raodisian is quite concerned about his hometown and his vision is very thoughtful." Terry Toddmos had not spoken yet, and Davers interrupted with a smile: "But even if Stromboli left Naxos for more than ten days, in twenty days, Naxos did not have an administrative chief, and there were several administrative adjutants there. Naxos would not have any trouble, so you don't have to be too anxious."
"Your Majesty, you...you're right." Raodician said, gritting his teeth, "It's just...Isn't it safer if I can reduce this period of time shorter?"
"Well, you're right." Davers nodded and suddenly laughed: "Safe...but what's the matter?"
Antonios, who has been following Davers, felt a little uneasy.
Raodisian was stopped by Davers' strange question and didn't know how to answer.
"Master Laodycien, as a veteran, your eyes should be focused on the entire kingdom rather than just your hometown!" Davers' tone was very light, but he often called the elders by his name. There were very few honorific titles like "女", and the elders in the venue felt strange.
Davers said in a stressed tone: "The election of Naxos' new chief executive will be carried out after Stromboli comes back. If there is anything important to Stromboli and we can even approve him to postpone his term! Okay, that's it."
After Davers finished speaking, he ignored Raodician. Before leaving the seat, he threw a meaningful glance from Antonios, which made Antonios' heart beat wildly: Your Majesty must know that!

For thousands of years, the Ofanto River flowed from west to east on the land of Apulia. Year after year, the mud and sand brought from the Apennines turned the middle and lower sides into fertile land, but it became the boundary river between the Donis and the Pucheti people. In order to monopolize this land, the two tribes fought continuously for hundreds of years, and countless soldiers' corpses were buried on this land, which also made up for the fertility of the land consumed by crops.
