Chapter 273: Asistes' Advice

"Storlo, I just baked some bread from my newly ground flour at home, and it was still hot! It smells so good! Take a few pieces back and try it!"

"Storo, have the houses in Awenting been demolished? I heard that the city hall will build a larger and better-looking house in the future. Is it true?"

"Storlow, I saw a city hall staff coming to your house in the afternoon. Maybe something happened."

...

A warm and concerned word warmed Storlo. When these neighbors were locked at home by the Dionians, they still provided various help to his family as much as possible. This is why he was willing to provide them with legal help at low prices or even free in recent years.

He responded with a smile, while speeding up his pace of going home again.

"Storo, you're finally back!" As soon as he entered the house, his wife Conia rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Isn't this good? What's wrong?" Storo asked softly, stroking his wife's spine.

"In the afternoon, someone from the city hall came and emphasized that you must go to the city hall after you go home to meet that Yasi... Chief Executive Stolo, this... nothing will happen, right?!" Conia looked at him with a worried look.

"We have experienced all the worst things and have all been through them smoothly. What else can there be bad things!" This period of experience has almost turned the innocent and lovely noble wife into a frightened bird. Storo pinched her nose with his hands and said lightly: "It is very likely that the Dionians are preparing to give me more important tasks when they see me performing well."

"Is that so good!" Konia seemed to take it seriously when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Stolo, you go to the town hall to see the Chief Executive later. You must tell him if... can you let my mother and sister go home?!"

Stolo was stunned: Since the family of the Romans who had escaped to Capitolin Mountain was forced to go down the mountain, except for a small number of civilian families who were verified by the city hall and released home, most of the other noble families were detained in the city and some were escorted to Satnikum to persuade the defenders to surrender. Stolo's mother-in-law was the wife of the famous Roman veteran Ambstus, and the husband of Conia's sister was Servius, who still led the army to resist in Satnikum, so the city hall would not release them easily.

Storlo had inquired about this a few days ago, but facing his wife's expectant gaze, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will go and ask the Chief Executive."

Conia immediately smiled like a flower and went to serve the dinner on the table in person, serving Storo very thoughtfully.

……………………………………

During this period, even at dusk, the Roman City Hall was still very busy. The allocation and transportation of the two armies, the allocation and transportation of land and housing arrangements for newly relocated Dionian citizens, the supervision of autumn harvest and subsequent taxes, the emergency organization and preparation of the upcoming Hades celebration and rugby matches... A series of complicated and urgent administrative affairs that need to be resolved were placed in front of Ascesters and his subordinates, urging them to complete them day and night. So when Storlo walked into the city hall and saw that the officials here were all working hard and walking like flying, he couldn't help but sigh.

When Stolo was taken into Asisters' office, Asisters had just sent away the inspectors. He was almost 50 years old. He had been working at the desk for a long time and couldn't help feeling soreness. He stood up, stretched his waist indoors, paced back and forth. When he saw Stolo coming in, he signaled him to sit down, and continued to stand and talk: "Listen to Mai Nas, you have done a great job these days, especially in time to help the engineering team resolve several major conflicts."

"They had no conflicts at all, but because there was something wrong with communication." Storlo said cautiously.

"Different customs and habits, differences in ideas, coupled with language barriers, and inability to communicate normally, lead to conflicts between old and new citizens... This is the most troublesome problem in maintaining order in our city of Rome today. This is not a trivial matter!" Ascesters rubbed his forehead and said solemnly: "Justice just now, the inspector came here to complain to me, saying that there were too few Roman citizens who joined their inspection office and could speak Greek, and there were fewer literate literacy, which always made them unable to stop and convince both parties to the conflict well when performing their tasks, and sometimes it would easily cause greater conflicts. If this continues, it is not conducive to the stability of Rome, so I decided to let you go to the inspection office.

As far as I know, you were proficient in Roman laws and often helped civilian defense, so I want you to go to the inspection office and first follow the inspection team to deal with various disputes in the city. At the same time, you are gradually familiar with our Dionia laws and serve as an inspector in the future. What do you think?"

Storo did not agree immediately. He thought for a while, looked hesitant and said tentatively: "I heard that Dionia also has the position of a civil servant, which can help the people fight for their rights and safeguard their interests. I want to... take up this position in the future."

"Public Guardian?!" Yasisk was a little surprised. He advised: "You may not understand that the Public Guardians in Dionia are very different from the former Roman Public Guardians. As far as I know, you Public Guardians are a major way for civilians to enter the top leaders of the city-state. You can even attend the Senate. The Public Guardians in Dionia seem to have greater power and can accuse officials at all levels, including the Chief Executives like me, and even the Elders. You can also meet the king and point out a certain law

The disadvantages... However, once you become a Dionysian civil servant, it means that you will not be able to succeed to other administrative positions in the future and be inseparable from the political arena of the kingdom. This is to ensure the independence of civil servants and not influenced by administrative officials. Therefore, civil servants in Dionysian civil servants are basically served by Dionysian citizens who have no intention of developing in the political arena and want to do something for the people. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. Young citizens who want to make a difference have almost no desire to become civil servants."

Storlo really didn't know much about the details of the Dionia Protective, and when he heard this, he was a little stunned.

Ascesters looked at him and understood some of his psychology, so he continued: "Actually, don't worry, the Kingdom of Dionys regards equality in all races in the country and will not deliberately be biased. Of course, if you really want to do something for the Romans, serve as an inspector or become a judge, and make outstanding achievements, and become a senator in the future, you can truly safeguard some of the rights and interests of the Roman citizens of Dionys in the Senate!

As far as I know, you and Sextus are good friends. He has made many military achievements and has served as the captain of the brigade. It is likely that within a few years, he will be the commander of the Roman Legion, and may even become the veteran of Dionia before he is less than 40 years old. Are you willing?"

Storo was shocked.

Seeing his face suddenly change, Yassus knew that his words had worked. He walked back to his desk and sat down again: "This matter is related to your future development in the kingdom. You can go back and think about it carefully and just give me a reply within two days. I'll come here this time, and there is another more important thing that needs you to do."

Speaking of this, Yassitus looked directly at Storlo and said in a deep voice: "I just received the battle report sent back by His Majesty. The defenders of Satneycomb surrendered!"

Storlo was shocked and asked involuntarily: "Has Satneycomb surrendered?!"

"It was not only Sutney Combe who surrendered, but just one day later, Vilitre also surrendered."

Ascesters' words gave Stolo a heavy blow, which made him stunned on the spot: Although he did not agree to go to Satneycomb to persuade him to surrender, he knew his father well and knew something about Camillus, and believed that even if they were at a disadvantage, they would definitely resist to the end. Unexpectedly, they surrendered! Once Satneycombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

When Yassus saw Storo sitting on a wooden chair, his face changed, he coughed softly: "Although the last time you climbed Mount Capitolin to persuade him to surrender, I hope you go up again. I think the surrender of Camillus' army will cause some impact on them on the mountain."

After a while, Storlo answered weakly: "...I'll try my best to try it, but I have a few questions to ask."

"you say."

Storo asked anxiously: "My father...is it okay now?"

Ascesters pondered for a while and said solemnly: "I don't want to deceive you, but you must swear to the gods that I must not reveal what I said before I will tell you."

Storo looked at Ascestes in surprise, then made a vow to Jupiter.

"In fact, there was a plague in the city of Satneycomb, and the Roman generals had to-"

Before Ascesters finished speaking, Storo screamed in shock: "What?! Plague!—" He then covered his mouth with his hands, but his hand trembled involuntarily.

Ascesters immediately comforted him and said, "The plague is the most terrible disease in your Romans, but we, Dionia, have developed medicine and have a very profound study on the treatment of plague. Your Majesty is summoning doctors to treat the sick soldiers. I believe that many people will be able to recover in half a month."

Stolo was calm and asked anxiously: "Then is my father... Is there any-"
