The "Academic debate should be discussed and not be beaten and scolded unreasonably" advocated by Davers in the venue even more alerted the scholars. Although there were fierce debates in the subsequent speeches and seminars, everyone controlled their emotions well.

Among them, the debate between Plato and Democritus' disciple Seinstrian is the most eye-catching.

This is because Sainstrian inherited Democritus's thoughts. He believed that democracy is the most ideal form of political system, and other forms of political system are undesirable. Living in democracy, even if it is poor, is better than enjoying wealth under an autocratic system.

But he also emphasized: If a democratic country wants to operate well, the role of the legal system must be paid attention to. A city-state that governs a good city-state cannot be without perfect laws. Because human nature always seeks profit and avoids harm, and always tries to seek extra-law profits. Therefore, making the people obey the law is protecting the safety and life of citizens themselves. And comforting the people obey the law is a long-term task of a city-state...

His ideas were exactly the opposite of Plato's political philosophy.

Plato advocated the wise rule the world and advocated the rule of the king. He hoped to guide the people with the concept of goodness and cultivate the virtues of citizens to govern the country.

He particularly opposed democracy, believing that democracy indulged people's desires and degenerated young people in the city, and cultivated all ambitious people and ignorant arrogance.

The result of this debate was that Plato won. Plato was knowledgeable and quick-thinking, and lived in Athens, where everyone was good at debate for decades, and had already developed a superb debate skills. It was not comparable to Sainstrian from the remote town of Aldera. What's more, Plato took his mother state, Athens, the best democratic city-state in the Mediterranean, as an example, and recorded his various ills and fools, which made the audience feel empathetic. It was reasonable that Sainstrian was defeated and brought down.

However, the Dionia audience, who had implanted the concept of law-abiding into their bones, also deeply agreed with Sainstrian's view that "the law is to ensure the good operation of the city-state", because Dionia used strict laws to ensure the stability and unity of the entire kingdom.

The All-Greek Scholars Conference, which lasted for nearly a month, finally came to an end.

During this period of time in Turiyi, well-known scholars from all over the Mediterranean not only exchanged academics, but also under the careful care of the college and the full assistance of the Turiyi City Hall, they tasted the food in Turiyi City, enjoyed the hot spring soaking, watched the intense ball game, went to the hospital to check their health, and appreciated the cultural customs of foreigners... They were full of gains.

In addition, the Dionys Academy also collected the scholars' speeches and compiled them into a book, named "Selected Collections of the All-Greek Scholars Conference", copied hundreds of copies and distributed them all in Greece.

Scholars who gained fame and fortune returned with satisfaction. In the following period, whenever they talked about this matter, they praised the academic atmosphere of the Kingdom of Dionia and the enthusiasm and wealth of the people. This led to more city-state scholars starting to inquire: Will Dionia hold the next scholar meeting? When will it be held?

Only members of the Pythagoras School returned to Tarantum, quarrels arose due to Fosterkada's speech, which led to conflict and eventually split.

Some of them left Tarantum and headed for the Eastern Mediterranean.

Another group of people led by Lysis stayed in Tarantum, thinking about how to improve the philosophical concepts of the Pythagoras school and integrate these unnatural numbers into it. This is a later story.

Among the well-known scholars, two people did not leave.

One was Hippocrates. Although he was already an octogenarian, the rich and innovative medical ideas and advanced theories of Dionia Medical College surprised him. In just one month, he was not enough to understand, let alone study. So he was willing to live and guard this treasure mountain until he fully understood and learned it, and completely solved his many confusions about medicine throughout his life.

In this regard, Davers certainly supported him. He gladly approved him to stay in the college and be named a school teacher, and even gave him the title of "Dionia Honorary Citizen" to commend his outstanding contribution to the medical cause throughout his life.

Another scholar was Plato. He asked Davers to fulfill his promise and sent someone to help him understand the operation of the political system of the Kingdom of Dionys.

On this day, the court clerk Henipolis led Plato, Spisips and Oleas to the Kingdom Preparatory Official Assessment Center in the outer city south of Turiyan.

This center was originally near Victory Square, but with the expansion of the kingdom's territory, the number of people needed to be assessed, and the examination venue could no longer be accommodated. The land in Turiyan City was limited and it could not be further expanded, so it was moved to the outer city.

Henipolis made instructions while walking in front.

Plato listened carefully, while looking at the building that was not found in other Greek city-states: it covers a large area and is surrounded by thick stone walls more than three meters high, so the inside cannot be seen outside.

The few of them walked around the periphery of the building for a long time before they saw the main entrance in the distance.

Plato noticed that the bustling crowds and bustle that are common in other urban areas of Turiyi are almost invisible here. Even if there are many pedestrians passing by, they try to keep quiet and whisper. This may not only be related to a patrol team specially patrolling here, but also to the quality of the people of Turiyi. They try not to interfere with citizens who may be participating in the assessment in the center.

"There is actually a temple there!" Oleas pointed to the distance and said in surprise.

"That's the Temple of Hades." Henepolis explained with a smile: "There is an advantage to be next to it at the assessment center. Hades is very careful and hates evil the most. Any citizen who participates in the exam wants to cheat must think carefully. In the end, they cannot escape his fair punishment."

Plato thoughtful. During his visit to various departments in Turiyi these days, he could find the direct and indirect traces of Hades. The god in charge of the underworld has become the supervisor engraved in the hearts of the people and let the people restrain their behavior at all times, which has to make him fall into deep thought.

When he arrived at the door of the assessment center, a towering statue stood five meters away in front of the gate. The statue was a tall and strong man with a firm expression, holding a flame in his hands, stepping on auspicious clouds, and running downwards.

"Why is there a statue of Prometheus here?" Oleas asked curiously.

Henepolis pointed to both sides of the gate and signaled him to see, there were two lines of words carved: Those who wish to be slaves of the people and devote themselves to the people, please enter this door; those who want to use their power to earn wealth and oppress the people, go elsewhere; the signature is Davers.

Thinking of the story of Prometheus risking the huge danger of being punished by Zeus to steal the sky fire and benefit mankind, the master and apprentice immediately understood the king's intention.

Plato couldn't help but sigh: "This is moral education! Don't think that Dionia emphasizes the constraints of the law on the people. But in fact, this city is subtly teaching the people to be good anytime and anywhere!"

As soon as Plato finished speaking, the guard came up and warned: "This is the important place of the kingdom, please don't make a loud noise!"

Plato apologized.

Henepolis showed his waist card and the warrant written by Davers, and then brought Plato and the others into the courtyard.

There are no pools, fountains, gardens, pavilions and corridors in the vast assessment center, etc., and there are only a dozen buildings like storage warehouses in the port, as well as solid and flat open spaces, and some open spaces are placed on them.

Only a building similar to a temple stands a hundred meters away, which is quite imposing, adding a little brightness to the entire Kingdom Assessment Center.

"We in Dionia pass the assessment every year and select public officials. The examination time is concentrated in October, because this time is the slack season, and citizens have enough time to prepare. At the beginning of the year, the chief officials of each department of each city will report the number of public officials required and vacant amounts of public officials to the Kingdom Officials Management Committee based on their jurisdiction. His Majesty will discuss with several adults of the committee to determine the number of public officials in each department to be assessed and selected in this year and then issue them to each department, and the city halls of each city will notify the Kingdom citizens in the form of an announcement.

Anyone who is willing to participate will pay attention to this information and prepare in advance. Before coming to Turiyi for the examination, they must also obtain a certificate of the city hall of their residence in order to determine their citizenship and be a law-abiding citizen who performs well..." Henipolis introduced them as he walked.

"What if the local town hall people accept bribes and conceal his illegal records?" Aureas asked. Even in Athens, wealthy citizens from the suburbs would bribe Demo's officials every year to count less property they own so as to pay less taxes. What's more, a vast country like the Kingdom of Dionia is very interested in how to strengthen supervision of officials in remote areas.

"Even if he concealed the examiner this time, he successfully became an official of the kingdom. But don't forget that we also have the surveillance officers who supervise the conduct of officials, the guarantors who can complain at any time when they see unfair things, and the people who are familiar with the laws of Dionia, they can report to the town hall and the Senate at any time. At that time, this person will not only be severely punished, but also investigate the responsibility of the officials who concealed the truth for him based on the certificates issued at that time left in his file.
