v8 Chapter 376： Kingdom Assembly during the war (3)

What's more interesting to Pbulius is that the Minister of Finance also explained in detail to the public how the income of the treasury was used this year, and how much was used for the remuneration of the officials of the Kingdom, and how much Public buildings, how much money is used for school education in the Kingdom, how much is used for the purchase of military rations, how much is used for arms manufacturing ...

On the stage, Mercis was so familiar with these figures, but Pbulius was very surprised when he was on the stage. It is also rich in administrative experience. He realized from the other side's story: the management of the state treasury The use is very fine.

Moreover, the next scene surprised him even more.

After Melcius had spoken, some veterans and parliamentarians questioned the use of a certain expense. In spite of his impatience, Melsis made detailed explanations one by one, and he did not return to his seat until no more questions were asked.

Publius breathed a sigh of relief, even though he was just watching, he felt a little nervous, and he realized that it was not easy to master the power in the Kingdom of Dionia. Supervision and questioning like this Although it exists in the Roman Senate, it will never be so detailed and specific. This requires that the person in charge must have good management skills and try to avoid the behind-the-scenes transactions common in the city-state as much as possible. The conclusion was successfully completed, but in case one of his answers dissatisfied everyone, I am afraid it is not so easy to pass the level ...

Pubulis remembered the Dionysian Civilian Conference to be held tomorrow, which Tibrus had mentioned, and began to wake up in his mind: This is Dionia, not Rome, and he must be careful when serving in public office !!

Next to the center of the meeting was the Minister of Agriculture Burkos. His speech was very encouraging.

First, after experiencing a drought, the entire kingdom ’s agriculture had a bumper harvest in September of last year, which greatly eased the dilemma of insufficient military supplies and freed the people from the shadow of the drought. Bulcos then mentioned that the eastern plains of Campania and most of Latinum were merged into the kingdom, adding **** acres of fertile flat land, and a total of **** acres were allocated to the migrants, with **** remaining. Acres of land, what measures have officials of the Ministry of Agriculture taken to help newly relocated people make better use of the land ...

In addition, he mentioned that the three areas of Syracuse, Sardinia and Western Sicily, although not yet completely settled, the Ministry of Agriculture has started planning the land there ...

Bulcos's speech won applause, but everyone was also enthusiastically asking questions, mainly about the question of whether young citizens who have not grown up in their towns and cities can get the newly occupied land.

The Ministry of Agriculture had long considered this, so Burcos answered quite easily.

Although Bulkes mentioned that the topic of "Latinum land allocation" was to make Pubius feel sore, he was indeed proactively considering allocating land to every citizen for the leadership of the Kingdom of Dionia. One thing sighed.

The next appearance was the Minister of Commerce, Mariji, a Persian with a distinctive appearance that made Publius curiously and seriously.

At the beginning of Mariji's speech, everyone expected that the war had a great impact on the commerce and trade of the Kingdom. In the past year, the number of merchant ships in seaport cities has significantly decreased, and markets in various regions have become depressed. Everyone sees the decline in business. Not surprised.

Marighi then mentioned that the acquisition of the Latina region, the whole of Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia, greatly expanded the Kingdom of Dionia's trading circle in the Western Mediterranean, and entered the field of precious metal trade. This will inevitably lead to greater development of the commerce and trade of the Kingdom after the war, and the alliance between the Kingdom and Egypt will make the trade between the two countries closer and deeper, and the commerce and trade of the Eastern Mediterranean will be further advanced ...

Of course, Mariji only talked about it here. Before the end of the conference, the various departments of the Kingdom looked forward to the new year's work, and he will talk about it in more detail.

But even so, some local councillors of businessmen's origin still actively raised their concerns, and Mariji gave a satisfactory answer.

The next to come is the Minister of Household Registration, Rafias. During this war, the Household Registration Department was also a busy department. Citizens and even free people were transferred to participate in the war as soldiers or to transport as labor. Or are they punished ... The answers must be recorded one by one. Due to the large number of people participating in the war, this is an extremely large and complicated job. Therefore, the public officials in the household registration department are the most in various departments, with many scribes and recorders. With these detailed citizen files, and other departments have a reference basis, we can barely fulfill the requirements of Dafus for "meritorious awards and penalties for citizens".

In Lafias's narrative, everyone knows that the casualties of the Dionysians in this war are not just soldiers on the battlefield, but also ordinary people, such as the Dauni area invaded by the Samonas. , The Catania plains destroyed by the Carthaginians, the Apulia region attacked by the landing of remnants, and so on.

As a result, the number of casualties given by Lafaias is much more than that given by the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the total population of the Kingdom in the new statistics is still more than the previous year. What is the reason? That's because of the increase in the population of the newly integrated areas of the kingdom. The city of Rome alone brought more than 50,000 people to Dionia, and there were also many surrendered people in Syracuse. The surrendered city-states such as Uyghur, Casellera, Alenia, and St. Ibinia have added more than 100,000 people.

In addition, the number of slaves in the Slave Management Office under the Household Registration Department also doubled during the year. Romans, Latins, Syracuses, Carthages, Phoenicians ... Oral became a slave to the Kingdom of Dionia, greatly alleviating the labor shortage in the Kingdom this year.

But at the same time, it also brought huge pressure on the management of slaves by the Hukou Department. Rafias also told the riots caused by slaves and the injuries and deaths of Hukou officials, in fact, for the subsequent In a few days, he will pass the issue of "increasing the number of officials in the household registration department and setting up a slave guard team" proposed at the Kingdom Assembly, and laid an ambush in advance.

Pubulius listened very carefully to Lafias's account, because it involved Roman compatriots who became slaves. He also asked questions for the first time after his speech, asking the status of Roman slaves and whether there would be any future. Dismissal possible.

Considering that Pubulius has just joined the kingdom, Lafayette explained in detail the rules of the kingdom's management of slaves: slaves have simple but clean accommodation, food for two meals a day is guaranteed, and physical strength Labor is even three meals. Occasionally, meat is given, and there are special doctors responsible for treatment. Those who have families will not be dismantled. As long as they complete the task carefully and are not hostile to the management staff, they cannot be scolded at will. And it does not prohibit the union of male and female slaves ... Slaves who perform well in the first year will receive a small monthly salary from the second year. If they have been performing well, they may be listed in the third year. To the list of followers until finally being free at the Hades celebration ...

Raphaas also emphasized that: out of awe of Hades, at the same time, many of the officials of the Slave Management Office are slaves. In addition, there are random checks by the Ministry of Supervision. The management of public efforts has always been strictly in accordance with Enforcement of the law, slaves lived well; on the contrary, the kingdom can only conduct random spot checks on private slaves every month, but their living conditions are worse ...

After listening to Pbulius, his guilt eased slightly. In fact, he knew that these Roman slaves lived in slave camps north of Rome and on the banks of the River Tino, but he never had the idea of ​​visiting, because it would only be cursed, not grateful.

Next came the Minister of Construction, Heraclitus Jr., because the kingdom invested the treasury revenue into the war, the construction and maintenance of domestic public buildings have stopped, but this does not mean that Heraclitus Jr. has no What to say.

The reconstruction of the old city of Rome is an important point ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Although Pubius has personally experienced the process of reconstruction in Rome, from the perspective of the planner, he considers the entire reconstruction of the entire Roman city. For him, It was another experience, so he listened very carefully.

In addition, Heraclitus Jr. also mentioned that after the integration of these new territories into the kingdom, the road construction has been planned. When the spring sowing ends, the Ministry of Construction will organize labor and prepare funds to bring the kingdom's roads as soon as possible. Extend to these territories in order to make it easier to communicate with the kingdom's old territories and to help the kingdom govern it.

The next minister to play not only made local councillors horrified, but also the veterans were often frightened. He was the monitoring minister Seta.

The kingdom minister who punished a lot of officials and was called “Ladamandas in the Sun” by the people made a stop in the center of the venue, and the entire venue became much quieter. Perhaps because he has been engaged in surveillance work all year round, he has developed a temperament of cold-faced killing.

However, in his summary of the monitoring work last year, there are actually fewer Kingdom officials punished by the Ministry of Supervision than in previous years. One of the important reasons is because of the war. Because of this large-scale war, the entire kingdom is in an emergency mobilization state. At this time, mistakes will be doubled, so few people dare to hit the muzzle at this critical moment.
