Chapter 160 Licinius Stolo
Ascesters looked at Daphs who was expressionless, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his thoughts: "It is better to allow the surrendered Roman nobles to apply to become citizens of Dionia, but their families must be dismantled and moved to other areas of the kingdom to re-accept the distribution of land..."
After hearing this, Davers didn't say anything. He looked at Ascesters and understood in his heart: Obviously, Ascesters has not been idle these days, and has been thinking about solutions to the Roman nobles...
Davers looked around the others, with more or less doubts on their faces: Could it be that it was really the influence of the past life that made me feel inexplicably afraid of the Romans?
Davers also felt a little confused. He pondered for a while and said slowly to Ascesters: "You can try the surrender of the Roman nobles, but after the Roman army was defeated."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yassus stretched his brow.
But Davers believes that his hope of success is not great. After all, it is probably difficult to deprive the Roman nobles of their wealth, dig their roots, and want them to surrender!
At this time, Nico Marcus said, "My Majesty, I have a problem."
Davers looked at him.
Nico Marcus patted his seat and asked curiously: "Why is this seat obviously different from the one behind? It is not only made of ivory, but also covered with cowhide, making it very comfortable to sit."
"This is the characteristic of the Roman Senate. The seats you sit in are located in the front row in the center of the venue. Only Rome's most prestigious and most noble senators can sit in it, so they must be distinguished from other seats." Davers explained a few simple words.
Nicomarcus looked like he suddenly realized: "I didn't expect that the Roman veterans knew how to enjoy it."
He also turned around and said to the others, "You will come and sit here and feel the feeling of being the most noble veteran of Rome."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became much more relaxed.
Davers looked at Nick Marcus with a smile on his face. Among the people of Locke who had been living under severe punishments, a politician with a humorous nature appeared, which was also very interesting.
In a relaxed atmosphere, the meeting ended, and finally Davers encouraged everyone: "Everyone, whether we can gain a foothold in Latinum depends on your governance of Rome!"

At dusk, the Roman administrative adjutant Valquez pulled the new Roman household registration officer Polutax to see Davers in a hurry and reported to him: "...A total of 531 people applied to become citizens of Dioria, including 367 public slaves in Rome, 164 Roman civilians, and many Roman civilians were watching..."
"Good job, Valks! Please keep working hard, you will become an excellent kingdom official!" Davers did not hesitate to praise him.
Valks grinned, looking so funny that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, looking a little funny.
Davers continued, "Early tomorrow morning, you will assign these Romans who will become citizens of Dionia and assign them residences..."
“Polutaks.”
"His Majesty!"
"You go back and tell Asistes that after these Romans have allocated their residences, they will immediately start preparing to allocate land to them, and at the same time arrange positions for those Romans who are willing to take office, so that the momentum will be greater!"
"I understand, your Majesty. I will tell Lord Yassestus when I go back."
Davers looked at Valques again and said kindly: "Valques, the new Rome executive, Ascistes, has just arrived. He is your superior, just like the former Roman consul. If you have any questions in the future, you need to discuss with him first, and he will arrange some new tasks for you. He is a very good person. I believe you can work together and manage Rome together!"
Valquez roughly understood Davers' words. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still respectfully claimed that he was.
After seeing them off, Davers leaned on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest. Henipolis came in and reported to him: "Your Majesty, Amyrius asked for a visit."
Davers' eyes opened slightly, "Let him come in."
Amyrius was originally a Latin slave. He was bought by the Dioria intelligence department ten years ago. After several years of special training, he was sent to the Latinum area to engage in intelligence collection in this area and the creation of the Latinum intelligence team. Most of the information Davers saw about Rome in the past was written by him.
After Davers led his army to attack Latinum, he ordered him to lead his subordinates to cooperate with the army to act together.
The intelligence leader was actually only in his 30s, but he seemed older than his actual age. He became a slave when he was a teenager and often hungry, so he was thin and small. However, Davers did not look down on him because of his appearance, but said to him kindly: "Amy Lius, what surprise did you bring to me again?"
You should know that after the Roman army invaded Hilniki, the empty detailed information in the city of Rome was sent to Turiyi in time by this unstunning guy, and finally Davers made up his mind to attack Rome first. The Ostia city map was also drawn by him and sent to the palace in time, allowing Davers to find the key to quickly capture the port town.
Amyrius stood in front of Davers and respectfully finished his salute, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty! My subordinates have already mixed up with the Roman civilians. Today they heard an amazing news that some Roman civilians want to be against you!"
"Oh?" Davers was not surprised by this. He had encountered several attacks over the years and was a little used to it. He signaled Amy Lius to continue talking with his eyes.
"Your Majesty, when you were giving a speech in the square, I noticed that some civilians showed dissatisfaction but did not express their opposition loudly. After your speech, a few of them neither applied to be our citizens nor followed the orders of the soldiers to return to their own residences. Instead, they quietly stayed in a house on the mountain of Cilio for a while, and then returned to the square and whispered to some of the civilians before... My subordinates quietly approached them, and vaguely heard them talking about 'Camillus, the Roman army', and even mentioned your name... Then five or six of them began to line up and prepare to apply to become citizens of Dionia..."
Davers thought while listening: "It seems that these Romans are preparing to launch an attack on me when the Roman army attacks..."
"Your Majesty, I think so too, so I will report to you quickly." Amyrius said as if he was seeking credit.
"Who is the one living in that house on Mount Cilio?" Davers asked a key question.
Amy Lius was prepared, and he immediately replied: "I have sent someone to inquire. The owner of the house is Gaius Lisinius Storo."
The name gave Davers a little familiarity, but he had never known or contacted the Roman before, which made him wonder: Could it be a historical celebrity?
"... Although he was a Roman civilian, he was very influential among the civilians, because his father was a military officer last year, and his newly married wife was a famous Roman veteran named Feibius... the daughter of Ambustus--"
Davers' heart moved, waved his hand and asked, "Are you saying that he was a civilian, but he was married to Febius, the great nobleman of Rome?!"
No wonder Davers was surprised. According to his understanding of Rome, the reason why Roman civilians could not cross the threshold of nobles was because Roman nobles imposed strict restrictions on them, and even the law "no nobles and civilians are allowed to intermarry" was clearly engraved on the twelve bronze pillars.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Because he was the first civilian to marry the daughter of a great noble, many Roman civilians regarded him as the pride and role model of civilians." Amyrius said affirmatively: "And this man himself is also quite outstanding. Although he is only 21 years old, he has participated in several battles and won a citizenship championship because of his outstanding military achievements. He was injured in the battle between Volsey and our First Legion and has been recuperating at home, so he did not follow Camillus' army to Helniki..."
Davers pondered: Rome suffered from Celtic invasions and several major escapes from Roman civilians over the years, which made these nobles in Rome feel a crisis and began to gradually give in to civilians. The best example is that military officials can allow Roman civilians to serve as military officials. This man's father was a Roman military officials, and he also let the elders of the Febbius clan marry their daughter, but they were not punished by Roman laws. It can be seen that the Roman nobles have begun to interestingly win over talented and appealing civilians... Fortunately, our attack came in time. If Rome's "Lesini Law" was promulgated, the conflict between the nobles and the civilians was eased, it would be much more difficult for Dionia to use the current method to disintegrate Rome... Wait! Lisinilaw?!
At this time, Amyrius remembered something and continued, "Oh, by the way, this Lisinius is not young, but he is proficient in Roman laws and often writes complaints for the civilians for free, so he is deeply loved by Roman civilians..."
"Geus Lisinius Stolo..." Davers chanted this name softly, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Could this person be the Roman civilian official who insisted on fighting for many years in the Roman history of his previous life and finally allowed the Senate to pass the "Lisini Law" that allowed Roman civilians to obtain relatively equal rights?!
Unfortunately, Davers' university major in his previous life was not history. He simply learned about the "Lesini Law", which greatly influenced the course of Roman history in the classroom of "History of Western Law". He neither remembered the names of the people who formulated this law nor the era at that time, so he did not dare to be very sure.
