Vol 8 Chapter 373: Guide to the Kingdom of Dionia

Latest URL: Tibrus, thank you for the suggestions you just gave me! It has benefited me a lot ... "Pubius then thanked Tibulus.
Tibulus said humbly, "Master, Publius, you're welcome. I grew up in Turui from an early age, I have heard and witnessed many things, and I know a lot about the kingdom. It is easy to get up, but it is difficult to achieve it. Like we have to be down-to-earth and develop step by step, but your condition is good, adults. Once you join the kingdom, you are the veterans. You only need to lay a solid foundation, and you can have a bigger one. As ... "
Pubulius nodded, and said calmly, "You are right, Rome is a thing of the past, and I should cheer up and develop better in a stronger country like Dionia!"
Having said that, he paused and asked humbly, "Tibrus, just the suggestion you gave me. Do you have any suggestions for my children?"
"I remember you said that you have an 18-year-old son, a 10-year-old son ... and one ... one ..."
"And a 6-year-old daughter."
"Uh ..." Tibrus groaned for a while and said, "Your eldest son is 18 years old. He is an adult by Dionysian law, but the kingdom has assigned you a place, so he will not be given to him for the time being. If you do n’t want to help you prepare farmland at home and inherit your property in the future, there are three ways for him to choose from: politics, business, and service-"
Tibrus pointed his finger and patiently analyzed him: "I believe that your eldest son must have been well educated since he was a child, but in order to hold public office, he must pass the exam of the kingdom. In the past few years, the examination of public officials was easy, but now it is difficult, because more and more young people have graduated from town schools, and the competition is getting fiercer. Not only must they be able to read, write articles, count, but also rough Know some Dionysian laws and Hades scriptures.
After passing the exam, it is necessary to work as a public intern in the town where the household registration is located for one year. After passing the test, it will be registered on the official management committee of the Kingdom and transferred to a full-time officer. Level public officials-- "
"What is the management committee of this kingdom official?" Publius interjected.
"Oh, the Kingdom Officials Management Committee was originally an institution subordinate to the Senate. It manages the appointment, promotion, rewards and punishments of all middle and lower-level officials in the Kingdom. It is now under the direct management of the Kingdom. Its principal person is composed of three veterans. The two deputies, dozens of officials and clerks, and the person in charge now is the head of the five rotating chairmen of the Senate-Lord Cornelius. "
"Oh, then ... which department is responsible for the senior officials of the kingdom?" Pubulius immediately thought of another question.
"The senior officials are basically the elders, and their appointments are elected by the Senate, such as the town chief or the main officials of the various departments of the kingdom, and it is finally decided by His Majesty. It seems easier than our lower and middle officials. However, it is said that the resignation of the Senate during his term of service is a big test, not so easy. The veterans with poor political performance are often humiliated, and it is difficult to serve in the future, such as ... cough ... "Tibrus coughed dryly Two beeps and stopped in time.
"Anyway, it wo n’t be long before you will know about this. I wo n’t talk much about it, or talk about your child. Your eldest son has never been educated in a kingdom school and it is impossible to pass the exam as soon as possible. , Enter the political arena. If he is anxious to go into politics, he can first apply to Turui City Hall as a mixed service-"
"Miscellaneous?"
"There is no public officer at all grades, such as clerks, scribes, messengers, bookkeepers, administrators ... They also have to pass the assessment and have a salary, but they are generally not divided into multiple parts. Another is part-time, When the city hall is busy and there is a shortage of staff, volunteers will be recruited to help with the work and will be dismissed home when it is idle. Although the salary of the part-time job is very low, there will be records in his household register file. His own future development is good.
Your eldest son can work as a miscellaneous or part-time job first, exercise the ability to do things and do things, be familiar with the various affairs of the kingdom, and at the same time take the time and spend some money, hire a teacher or attend an adult study class in the Turui school, learn knowledge, wait until After two or three years, I will take the public examination of the Kingdom again. Because I have practical political experience, I will have more advantages and pass more easily than those young citizens who have just graduated.
Tibrus took a breath and saw that Pubulius listened carefully, then went on to say: "If your eldest son is willing to go into business, you can first finance him and let him register at the Commerce Office of Turui City Hall. To obtain qualifications and credentials for doing business— "
"Why do you still have to register with which commercial office to do business freely?" Pubulius asked curiously. Although Rome was underdeveloped in commerce and trade, the people were free to buy and sell.
Tibulus explained: "The application for registration with the Commerce Department is mainly to facilitate the collection of taxes by the Kingdom and the classification and management of the Ministry of Household Registration. For a businessman, with this business certificate issued by the Kingdom, he can obtain it more easily. For more loans from Kristoa Bank, you can also apply to join local chambers of commerce to get more help, more information and channels, which is more conducive to his development.
However, the Kingdom has not forbidden other people from buying. For example, farmers in cities and towns of the Kingdom do not need to apply to the Commerce Office. They can take their excess agricultural products to the designated area of ​​the market in their town for sale, and do not pay taxes. The goods must be sold in small quantities and cannot be bought and sold in other cities or towns. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from severe punishment to deprivation of citizenship ... "
Pubulius was just a little curious just now, but in fact the Romans were not a race good at business, and he was not interested in it. After understanding it a little, he asked: "What if you choose to join the army?"
"Master, Publius, you must first know that according to the" Dionian Law ", male citizens aged 18 to 45 have the obligation to perform military service and regularly participate in military training, regardless of whether you are a farmer or a craftsman , Businessmen, or public officials of the Kingdom ... "
"It's the same situation as before."
Tibulus worked in Rome for several months, and had some understanding of the past in Rome. He solemnly reminded: "But unlike Rome, the citizens of Dionia are eager to get on the battlefield and win. The land and loot rewarded by the kingdom, but it is not easy to get on the battlefield. Generally, only regular legionnaires can go out to fight. After the casualties occur, the reserve soldiers are included and supplemented.
Young citizens of Dionia have been trained in military affairs since childhood, and they have become familiar with the basic military tactics of Dionia since adulthood, but your son knows nothing about it, at least for three or four years. It is difficult to become a formal legionary soldier. If you want to advance, the best way is to apply for several soldiers in various territories to serve as garrison soldiers. Although hard, you can become a formal legionary soldier one or two years later. As long as you have participated in a few more battles, you will most likely become a squad leader.
But if you want to be a team captain, you have to do well. This is not easy. Being a team leader also means that he has entered the ranks of the kingdom officer and has become the object of attention of the military ministry. As long as he does not have a major injury in the future, and he has repeatedly won battles, he may be promoted step by step. ... and even become the commander of the army. After becoming the legionnaire, it is possible to enter the Senate and become a distinguished elder ...
Joining the army is a fast way. Not only can you get a lot of land rewards by virtue of your military achievements, but you can also occupy a high position at a young age. For example, the Sicilian commander Prosousus will be in his early forties after this war. Age becomes the new veteran of the kingdom! "
Tibrus said enviously, and sighed again: "However, these are all exchanged for their lives. If they accidentally kill the battlefield, the land and wealth won can only be left to their wives and children. For example, the leaders of the naval fleet, Flarios and Miltias, who died in this war, so I don't envy them very much. Although the promotion of the administrative officer is slow, it is safe! "
"Is the promotion in the army the same for all citizens?" Pbulius asked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ What? "Tiblos froze, and soon understood what he meant, and said solemnly:" Master, you must understand that Dionysian is not like your previous Romans. Noble children have just served, and they can serve as squadron-level captains. " This won't work in the Kingdom of Dionia! All citizens must start as ordinary legionnaire soldiers, and even their adopted sons and son-in-laws have slowly become the legionary and captain of the legion through their own efforts. If you want to take another shortcut, it's best to get rid of it.
According to the law, the army is under the direct control of His Majesty, and the promotion and appointment of all officers must ultimately be approved by him, and the Senate must not interfere. Anyone who wants to get involved in the military affairs will inevitably cause His Majesty's anger. The incident of Lao Dixian more than ten years ago has given everyone a good lesson. "
"The Raodisian incident?" Pubulius asked curiously.
"This matter is very complicated. I will talk to you later when I have time." Tibrus said quickly. "In addition, your eldest son can choose to become a farmer or a tradesman, but in your capacity, this should not be an option. So I won't say more ... "
