Chapter 94: The Brothers of Aristillas

Staying in a villa is a fashion that has emerged in the past few years. It originated from Davers. He built a villa on a hill not far from the Turiyi Hot Spring Bath. When the summer is hottest, he took his family to the northern mountainous area to escape the summer, relax and take a hot spring, which is deeply loved by children.

After several occasional banquets, the veterans and ministers discovered the benefits of living in villas. The hills in the northern mountainous areas, which were sparsely populated, barren, and rugged and difficult to travel, quickly became popular. Tuliyi had rich and identities, and citizens with status lined up to buy them from the Ministry of Agriculture. Later, the Tuliyi local council had to pass a bill to restrict the excessive sale of mountains in Tuliyi territory. The mountains for sale also strictly stipulated the area of ​​villas, and trees in other areas were not allowed to be cut down at will.

The citizens of Turiyi had to turn their attention to Amendolar, Bissinia, and Castro in the core area of ​​Turiyi, and soon forced the local councils of these three towns to restrict the sale of mountains... In the end, this trend swept across the entire kingdom, resulting in the Senate specially formulated a provision for "mountain sale and villa construction" in the "Dionia Law".

Antrapolis only expressed his concern in this way. He knew that his brother had a firm personality and was not a person who could be easily convinced. Just as he once advised Alistilas to propose to His Majesty Davers, "no longer serve as the intelligence chief, but instead become an administrative official." He believed that with his brother's talent, he could have a brighter future, but was rejected by Alistilas and warned him not to mention this matter again in the future.

Antrapolis stopped talking, but Alistilas asked, "What are you here today?"

"Brother, I'll come here to see you today, can't you?" Antrapolis said dissatisfied.

"Poris is here!" With a kind shout, a woman came out of the main building.

"Sister-in-law!" Antrapolis shouted respectfully.

The person who came was Asuna, Alistilas's wife.

"It's been a long time since you came to our house." Asuna said with a pretentious smile.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I won't come. Haven't I been in public office in other places all these years? I just stepped down from Hibernian last month and have been busy completing various handover procedures these days... I came here as soon as I finished it." Antrapolis quickly explained.

"Since I'm a rare trip, let's have dinner together at home tonight! I've asked my servants to prepare. Call your younger brother, Keli Ass, and Lileya (Asuna's daughter) also misses her younger brother Anduoaks. Our whole family will get together tonight!"

Asuna finished speaking with a passionate look on her face, and Antrapolis looked at her brother, knowing that Alistilas rarely holds parties at home.

But at this moment, Alistilas quickly said, "Your sister-in-law has spoken. Hurry up and send the servants home and call your younger brother, sister and children."

Asuna looked at her husband, smiled charmingly, and then said, "Princess Christoya has something urgent to ask me to do. I will come back in the afternoon. You two will chat slowly at home first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you go and do your business first." Antrapolis smiled and watched Asuna leave the house with two female slaves.

As a senator, he was so respectful to Asuna, not entirely because she was his sister-in-law, but also because she was once Cristoya's personal slave, and is still a good assistant in the princess's business. She is deeply trusted by King Davers's family. In addition, Alistilas is the confidant of King Davers, so it is not wrong for Antrapolis to say that his brother was an important minister of the kingdom. Many veterans and city chief executives seem to have a prominent position, but in fact, King Davers's increasingly powerful heart is not as good as the couple's words.

However, the Alistilas and his wife are usually low-key and rarely interact with others. Alistilas, who has always looked cold to everyone, looks gentle when facing his wife, and Asuna always takes the initiative to pursue family matters. According to rumors, Asuna took the initiative to pursue it, and Princess Cristoya was a matchmaker, the two got together. Antrapolis believed that this rumor was very credible, otherwise with his brother's indifferent personality, he would probably still be single now.

Antrapolis pretended not to see Alistilas's smile on his lips as he looked at Asuna's departure. He said seriously: "Brother, I have an important thing for me to come this time. Please help me with an idea."

Alistilas immediately became serious: "Go to my study and say it."

"Brother, I want to respond to His Majesty Davers' call and follow the army to the Latinum area..." Antrapolis said seriously in the study.

It turned out that Davers not only provided opportunities to the merchants who donated food to the kingdom, but also issued a call for the senate who had no suitable positions and could only hold idle positions, as well as the kingdom officials, hoping that they could voluntarily go to the Latinum region with the army and take on various public offices in the captured areas in the future, so as to better stabilize the occupied areas...

Alistilas didn't seem surprised, and there was no surprise on his face. He just asked softly: "Why choose to go to Latinum?"

"Brother, you know, I returned to Turiy after the post of Chief Executive of Hebernian expired. The Kingdom Officials Management Committee originally had a good evaluation of my administrative performance in Hebernian, but I lost to Bagule in the position of Chief Executive of Cosenza. Now the chief executives and other senior positions in various cities of the Kingdom are full. I don't know when I will be able to take office again. I just thought... it's better to follow His Majesty Davers to Latinum..." Antrapolis expressed his true thoughts.

"Isn't Castellon's position as Chief Executive still empty?" Alistilas said.

"Is the Chief Executive of Castellon still called the Chief Executive? I don't want a Lucias on my head to point fingers at me!" Antrapolis shook his head and said.

A few years ago, in order to integrate resources and highlight Turi's central position in the kingdom, Davers established the Turi's region, Bissinia, Castron and Amendorara, all of which were incorporated into this area. Their chief executives were all subject to the jurisdiction of Turi's Chief Executive, and Lucias had served as the Chief Executive for many years and had a high reputation. Most of these chief executives dared not violate his orders.

"Actually, after His Majesty proposed this plan in the Senate, I wanted to suggest you go to Latinum, but I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly." Alistilas showed a hint of relief on his face. Although he rarely contacted Antrapolis, in fact, he has been paying attention to his younger brother's performance in politics.

"You support me too?" Antrapolis felt a little firmer when he heard this, but he said worriedly: "What I am worried about now is that Latinum is too far away from the center of the Kingdom and is remote. He is in that place and does not receive much attention. If he stays there for too long, he will miss other good opportunities. In addition, the area is full of aliens and is not adjacent to the Kingdom, so it is probably not easy to manage. If a riot occurs..."

After listening to his younger brother carefully, Alistilas said slowly: "You don't have to worry about not being given attention to your position there. As far as I know, Your Majesty attaches much importance to Rome than you imagined. He asked me to establish a channel for information against Rome long before the Southern Italian War. After the Southern Iran War, he increased his investment in Roman intelligence collection and asked me to report to him every other month. In the second half of last year, Your Majesty even asked, 'As soon as Rome has a new situation, report to him immediately'... Do you know that there is a map of Italy and Sicily made of soil in the military conference room of the palace?"

"I know, I heard that the production is very beautiful!" Antrapolis nodded and replied.

"Among all other city-state models, the Rome model is the largest and the only one made of red clay, which is very eye-catching. This shows that His Majesty even attaches great importance to Rome than Carthage, so he will bring you administrative officials with him this time when he goes to the expedition. This is something he has never seen before. I am afraid that what he wants is to turn Rome and Latin allies into territory of the Kingdom of Dionia, so you don't have to worry about not getting the attention of the Kingdom when you get there..."

When Alistilas said this, Antrapolis had no worries at all. He understood that with the attention of King Davers, the resources of the kingdom could be strongly tilted towards the Latin American region, and safety would naturally be guaranteed.

"Polis!" Alistilas said with a serious expression: "Since you have chosen to take risks instead of being willing to be mediocre, then when you come to Latinum, don't be afraid of difficulties! You must deeply understand the living customs of various ethnic groups in that area, try to explore how to manage the area there, and establish your reputation there... When the Latinum region is completely incorporated into the kingdom, you must become the veteran who knows the most! In this way, once there are any important positions in Latinum or important problems, your Majesty will think of you first, just like Bagule of Lukania and Sedorum of Bruti. You have missed a great opportunity in Katanai more than ten years ago, and don't miss it again this time!"

Antrapolis understood what his brother said about "missing opportunities": At that time, Dionia had just occupied the southeast of Sicily. When he was born and raised in Katanai, he successfully led the great riot against Syracuse, and thus became the senator of the Senate and served as the chief executive of Katanai. He should have gradually developed on this basis and became the spokesperson of Sicily in the Kingdom and an important figure in the Senate. As a result, he lacked administrative experience and eventually messed up himself.

Now Alistilas' expectations both stressed and refreshed him. He said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry, I won't miss it easily this time!"
