v7 Chapter 60： Academic invitation to the Dionysian Academy

"Plato is indeed a great scholar. I have read his "Ideology", which completely shocked me about the various systems of the city-state and the idea of ​​the ideal city-state!" Foster Kada sincerely praised The young people looked at his eyes and looked good. He went on to say: "But he will soon be invited to the Dionysian Academy."

what? ! The students were shocked, some rushed to Plato, and some shouted incredulously: "You lied!"

"Calm, my students! Your sorrows and uneasiness have blinded your eyes, so that you can't think rationally, and what is the use of learning so much knowledge!" Plato's reprimands made the youths somewhat shy.

He turned to the right color and said to Forst Kada: "Knowledge is to let you perfect yourself and observe the world, not to show off!"

Foster Kada heard a shock and quickly admit his mistake: "You are right, I am doing something wrong!"

Plato's face was gentle, picking up the letters in his hand and asking: "I want to know who proposed the "Greek Congress of the Ancients" in this letter? How do you do it? Who have you invited?"

After being promoted by Plato, Foster Kada paid tribute and did not dare to neglect. After seriously thinking about it, he replied: "Our original state of the Kingdom of Dionia has been held every year by the Great Greek Medical Forum. Later, the School of Mathematics The long-door Totick Ayers founded the "Greek Mathematical Symposium", and then the teacher Ansitas held a "Historical Seminar"... After the teacher Gorkya came, he also proposed to hold " The Symposium on Philosophy, after King Daves knew that many scholars are proficient in a variety of knowledge, the various colleges in the Kingdom are engaged in academic seminars, which are not only repeated, but also time-consuming, energy-efficient, and inefficient, and the range of scholars invited Narrow, mainly in the invitation of Italy and Sicily, so he proposed to create a "Greek Academic Exchange", invited all the famous Greek scholars to participate in the exchange of knowledge, to explore the mysteries of nature and humanity.

I remember that I have said a word in my school and it is widely circulated in our school. He said, ‘The spark of wisdom is produced in the collision, and the truth is more and more clarified. ’”

Forstada said this, Plato's eyes lit up, can not help but move.

Foster Kada continued: "As far as I know, this conference will be composed of two parts. Part of the scholars will teach one or more topics according to the field of knowledge they are good at. There will be many students at that time. The public, and even scholars listen to each other; the other part is the exchange debate between scholars, which also allows a small number of students to listen and ask questions...

This time, we sent people to the famous scholars all over Greece to invite. I don't know exactly which scholars are there, but at least I know that there are Antisseni, Isocrate, and Seyatetus in Athens. Because I have to send them a letter. ”

Referring to Antisseni, Plato frowned slightly.

Next to Spisips, he hurriedly asked: "Diaonia's "Greek Congress of All Greece"... Can we go there too?!"

Foster Kada smiled and said: "Of course. Diaonia welcomes all the young people in Greece who love knowledge, respect knowledge and desire for knowledge to go to Tury to participate in this academic event in Greece!"

Having said that, he respectfully asked Plato: "Are you making a decision?"

Plato caressed the long beard and nodded and said: "I have long wanted to travel to the unique Kingdom of the Kingdom of Denia. This is a good opportunity, I will arrive on time!"

I got the exact answer and quickly got a letter from Plato. Forstada immediately took off the parcel on the shoulder and opened it on the stone bench. He only listened to the metal sound of "哗啦啦", which was all white. Silver coins of flowers.

Facing Plato's astonished look, Foster Kada said seriously: "Daveus said, 'Knowledge is priceless, scholars' time and energy are very valuable.' So the 500 diamonds of the Kingdom of Dionia Is the reward for giving you this meeting, which also includes the cost of your trip back and forth to Athens, please be sure to accept it!

After you arrive in Turui, your accommodation and food are arranged by the University of Deonia, so you don't have to worry about it. And... you must take this invitation letter when you go to Turui. If there is a Spartan or other city-state vessel interception, just give this letter to them, they will let go, we will Dionya has communicated with these city-states in advance..."

"You really think too thoughtfully!" Plato heard these words, can not help but feel extremely emotional: Obviously, Diaonia knows his previous experience, will have such a special account.

Six years ago, when Plato traveled to Syracuse, there was a civil strife in Syracuse. When he left, he encountered the interception of the Spartan warship. At that time, the Corinth War was not over. The Spartan general who hated the Athenians detained the famous scholar of Athens and sold it as a slave. If it was not a friend’s immediate rescue, he might still dig in a mine pit... ...this terrible experience also made him jealous of going to the Western Mediterranean. Together with the news that "Dyonia and Sparta signed a covenant", it was transmitted to Athens. Most people in Athens screamed at Diaonia. It is said to be a traitor (because the old Turui was built by Athens, the people of Athens thought that Dionia should support Athens). This also affected Plato's mood, making him not to travel to the most powerful kingdom of the Western Mediterranean.

This time, he can finally make up for this regret...

....................................

In the king's office of the Royal Palace of the Republic of Denia, the five rotating presidents of the Senate and the Minister of Commerce, Mariji, the Finance Minister Melsis, and the Supreme Supervisor Sestazi gathered together.

Davers looked at them and solemnly said: "This time, please come over, there are a few important things that you want to discuss with you in advance. At the beginning of the year, the Kingdom of Dionia and the Congress of the People's Officials, you have People have participated, and those who have not participated should have heard of it... Many local councillors and security officials have mentioned the issue of 'the elders accepting gifts from citizens and foreigners,' especially the elders who served as chief executives. The problem is even more obvious. They also repeatedly mentioned the 'Pluxsis treason case and the current La Oceian case', and hope that we can take some measures on this, I have promised them to be on this issue. Making a change, now is the time to fulfill the promise! What do you think of this?"

Everyone looked at each other and looked dull. Most of them didn't think that Davis had called them today to discuss this thorny issue.

The hall was quiet for a while, as the chief figure of the Senate after the death of Kunogolata, Cornelus had to stand up and speak first: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Republic of Dionia, he has served as a kingdom public office. The rights and obligations of the kingdom citizens are not required to pay any salary at first. But today, not only middle and low-level officials, but even heavy-duty laborers, jailers who supervise criminals, and sentinels who guard the fortress have paid, but the whole The kingdom did not have the veterans. Because this is a noble position, the veterans serve the entire country and citizens, and should not be as careless as the low-level officials.

But... I remember that when the Alliance was first established, there was no major event. In general, the May and 6th Senate will have a big meeting. At other times, we can work with slaves at home to cook the fields. But now the kingdom is so big, and the affairs are so numerous. We hold meetings, discuss the kingdom, and pass the bill in the big chamber almost every day. There is still time and energy to increase income for our own home. Although according to the "Dynia Law", every land acquired by the war, our veterans will have a lot of gifts. However, the income of the land is limited, but it is often affected by the climate and the soil. Many of the elders who do not manage household chores are not as good as the bureaucrats at the bottom..."

"You mean that it is reasonable for the elders to receive gifts?" Davers looked quietly and quietly.

Cornelus was so nervous that he couldn’t speak for a while.

"Your Majesty The generals of Cornelus said the truth." Lucy Ass took over the words and defended Cornelus: "The position of the veteran is noble, but the veteran is also a person. They also have desires. They also hope to eat food, drink wine, and wear gorgeous clothes. Although money can't reflect a person's nobleness, we can imagine that when a life-stricken veteran meets a beautifully dressed Bolton, beautiful. When gold and silver jewellery, followed by four or five slave servants, in the eyes of the people, who is more like a veteran?

So why was La Odesian so popular among the veterans, because he was generous and often invited the elders to dinner... This is why every chief executive’s vacancies have so many people fighting for it, because after serving as the chief executive They have more opportunities to accept gifts from local people to increase their income and enable them to live like the rich citizens of Dionia. ”

"Is it because I thought about luxury life, we can accept gifts from foreign messengers and outsiders, and say good things to them at the Senate meeting! Your Majesty, La Odeon is just a bad luck, and he is disregarded in the Senate." It is not uncommon for the interests of the kingdom to throw out some suggestions that are completely unfavorable to the kingdom and to benefit the Gentiles! I have long felt that this problem should be solved. This time, since the reaction of the people is so great, we can take the opportunity to put an end to it. The veterans accept the gifts from others, and the violators punish them!” Supreme Ombudsman Sesta’s serious suggestion.
