Agenis disagreed: "Sister, you're thinking too much, I think as long as Eunice really likes it."

"You, it's easy to say. When Avija becomes an adult, it's your turn to worry." Cristoya rolled her eyes, then stretched, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom to take a bath and relax. When the children are back, it's dinner time. Are you going together? I have a few sets of underwear of other colors and shapes. You can try it on to see if it fits."

"Okay." Agenis stood up.

Nowadays, taking a bath has become a daily habit for the Dionians, but the hot spring bath is a bit far from Turiyi City after all, and it is impossible for royal families to go there frequently, and it is not safe, so Davers directly asked someone to build a bathroom in the house.

Two middle-aged women with outstanding looks were talking and laughing, and walked out of the hall.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As dusk approaches, the meeting has ended in the Grand Council of the Senate of Dionia, and the elders walked out of the venue in groups of three or three.

Today, the Senate received the bad news that "the army led by King Davers won consecutive victories in the Latinum region... Abenirum applied to become the free city of Dionia..." Of course, these good news were also mixed with the bad news that "Samone's army raided the Campania region, and Naples urgently asked for help from Dionia", but this did not affect the mood of the veterans. They walked down the stairs while talking and laughing.

The five rotating presidents of the Senate who were slowly walking behind were still discussing some issues.

"His Majesty said in his letter, 'The situation in Rome has stabilized now, and the expeditionary army is expanding its occupied territory and preparing to completely defeat the Romans.' He asked us to make detailed plans for the large-scale migration of some of the Dionian people to the Roman region after the war, and to disperse the surrendered Roman nobles in other cities. What suggestions do you have?" Cornerus asked.

"I noticed that His Majesty wrote in his letter that "migrates the people of Dionia" instead of letting the preparatory citizens and free people fill the newly occupied land as before. This shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to the Roman region and needs to quickly integrate Rome into the kingdom!" Lucias said in a deep voice.

"According to the message from the messenger, the area where Rome is located is a fertile plain, with a much larger area than our Sobari Plain, and the Tiber River is wider than the Clarti River, and its agriculture and animal husbandry is quite prosperous. If we can completely own Rome, we can not only solve the worries caused to His Majesty by the previous drought, but also greatly enhance our national strength..."

Anta Oris thought about it and said, "But that area does not border our existing territory. There are many other forces and races around it. The Romans themselves are also relatively strong. Perhaps because of these considerations, His Majesty would require the migration of a large number of Dionian citizens to pass, so that they can quickly become the backbone of the stable Roman region. If they are prepared citizens and free people, they may not be able to firmly defend the interests of the kingdom in that crisis-ridden area."

"Although I have not seen our soldiers fighting with the Romans with their own eyes, in the past few days, nearly 2,000 dead citizens and more than 2,000 wounded people have been transported back in the Turiyi region alone. The officials of the city hall assisted the Military Affairs Department and have been busy paying attention to the families of the deceased and arranging the treatment of the wounded. I heard that there are quite a few casualties in other areas, which shows that the Romans are indeed fierce!" Lucias said in a heavy tone.

"You still remember that some time ago, His Majesty said he wanted to migrate citizens to Campania. At that time, he had decided to migrate some young citizens from Lucania. Hemon and I have already made the plan. Unfortunately, it was later forced to stop because of Carthage's participation in the war. This time they could be moved to Rome." Vespa suggested on the side.

"I said Vespa, don't just stare at the Lucania region." Sedorum reminded him: "How many citizens can be moved out of the Lucania region? I'm afraid there are less than 10,000 people, but His Dame believes that in addition to those Roman civilians who have surrendered, the land of Rome alone can accommodate another 200,000 to 300,000 people, as well as towns such as Viagra, Ostia, and Kesrera! Moreover, His Majesty also said that the future surrendered Roman nobles would be placed in other cities. It is better to move some of the citizens of each city to Rome. The free space that can be used to accommodate these Romans is just right. Isn't this very convenient?"

"What Lord Sedorum said is a good idea!" Anta Oris took over the conversation: "However, considering that the Roman city hall was just established and its ability to handle government affairs was not strong, and the Romans had an adaptation process to us. We can move to Rome several times, each time, to avoid major chaos. In addition, citizens who go to Rome cannot be young, but must also have middle-aged and elderly citizens, so that the community can be established to be stable. Also, Greek citizens should be the majority of citizens who go to Rome-"

Speaking of this, Anta Oris saw that Vesba and Sedorum were unhappy, and quickly explained: "I have no intention of discriminating against other ethnic groups. I did this just to allow the Roman civilians to integrate into the kingdom as soon as possible..."

"These suggestions from Anta Oris make sense, and we need to seriously consider this." Cornerus praised the young colleague for a few words, and then said solemnly: "Everyone, this is the official citizens of our first migration to the Kingdom. You must know that they are not preparatory citizens and free people. They have all the rights granted by the Kingdom law, they own their own land, they live well in the existing towns, how can they be willing to go to Rome? How can they be satisfied with their new residence?... These are the problems that make us most troubled!"

"I don't think this is a problem," Anta Oris said disapprovingly: "What the citizens of the kingdom are most worried about is not leaving their hometowns and settling in strange places, but fearing a life that is too peaceful, because this means that they cannot gain opportunities to make meritorious contributions through war and adventure to increase their wealth and achieve rapid promotion in status. In Rome, they can give them many such opportunities. Before the war with Rome, there were so many officials who took the risk of going with His Majesty. Isn't it because of this reason? And now ordinary citizens can get such opportunities, and I believe they will also actively participate."

Anta Oris said something that made the other three nodded repeatedly, and Cornerus coughed a little awkwardly: "Uh... Anta Oris made sense, but it still needs to be implemented before the people's real reactions can be known. Therefore, we must make more preparations in advance to reduce the people's resistance, such as doing detailed land replacement for relocated citizens, transportation of citizens' property, distribution of new houses and disposal of old houses..."

"It seems that next time we need to call Bulcos (Minister of Agriculture) and Rafias (Minister of Household Registration) to discuss this matter together, and then formulate a preliminary plan and hand it over to His Majesty for review." Lucias said.

"I think we can first let the town halls in each town make publicity in advance to promote the benefits of settling in Rome-" Anta Oris actively made suggestions, but just halfway through his words, when Phyllissius's voice came from behind: "Master Cornerus! Master Lycius!"

Cornerus looked back and saw four veterans of the Military Affairs Department, Hilos, Phyllisius, Alpuens and Hironimus, walking towards this side, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

Phyllisius looked at Hilos.

Military Minister Hilos said: "The five rotating chairmen, today the Senate unanimously rejected the unreasonable request of the Samantane envoy to use the Campanian captives for their captives, which is in line with His Majesty's promise after the Gruum incident, but... just refusal is probably not enough. We also need to rescue the Campanian League, which is being attacked by the Samantane people, after all, it is our ally."

"The rescue of Naples should be the main issue for tomorrow's meeting." Cornerus frowned and said, "Now His Majesty leads most of the troops to attack Rome in the north, and we are fighting with Carthage in the south. Alexis is stationed in the Apulia area to prevent the invasion of the Samones and the covetment of other forces. As far as I know, all the legions in the kingdom are in a state of war, and even the Seventh Legion is ready to go south at any time. Your Majesty repeatedly instructs not to move lightly. Now that you are talking about this matter, I would like to ask first how you are going to rescue Campania?"

"Is it necessary to draw the Ninth or Tenth Legion?" Although Anta Oris had a little dispute with Cornerus just now, he took Cornerus' words and continued to ask questions: "The distance from Apriya to Campania is long, and transportation is difficult, and the pressure on military ration transportation will increase. Moreover, who knows whether the cunning Samones deliberately lure us out of the Apriya army and then want to raid the Doni region again! After all, our army has to detour, but they can go straight through the mountains."

"It is not Apulia's troops." Hilos said affirmatively: "We hope that the Senate can pass a resolution to allow the Free City Potendia to form an army immediately to support the war between the Kingdom and the Samones."

"Potendia?!" The five rotating chairmen were all a little surprised. No wonder they did not expect that the Potendia region has remained stable for more than ten years and has close ties with the Lucania region, trade, personnel exchanges, religious dissemination... Everything is developing rapidly without hindering. Moreover, the Potendias are never absent from various celebrations and competitions in the kingdom. Therefore, not only the ordinary people of Dionia, but most of the elders subconsciously, have made Potendia a part of the Lucania region, and have forgotten that it is actually just a free city in the kingdom.

At this time, the military training chief Hironims said: "According to the statistics of our Military Affairs Department, if Potendia conducts a comprehensive recruitment, it can form an army of about 20,000 people, so Potendia can auction at least 10,000 reinforcements."
