Vol 5 Chapter 30: Post-war Senate Conference (3)

The elders, you see me, I see you, I didn’t speak for a while. WWW.SUIMENG.lā former mercenary veterans are proficient in land warfare, naval battles are not good; Lukaria veterans understand mountain battles and are full of fear of the sea; Amendola Lara has no port, no warships, and its veterans fight against nature No experience; the veterans of Turui are left...
Kunogolata looked at other people and said: "I recommend En Anilus, who was originally a naval general of Turui."
Other Turai elders also agreed, and Daphus also recognized Enanilus’s talents in this respect. Otherwise, he would not discuss with him in advance the preparation of the navy. The only thing that can be considered is Enaniluth. The family owns a shipyard, and Daphus is worried about his private use. But he turned to think, the savvy Melsis is a good fool.
Compared with the talented army, there are still too few people who know the sea battle! Daves sighed in his heart.
In the end, En Anilus successfully became the naval commander of Dionia. He said with excitement: "We have a strong heavy infantry in Dionia. I don't have to worry about the warships still being out of the harbor. I was burned in the port!" It seems that Turui was captured by Crotone. Afterwards, the Turri warship was either destroyed or captured, so that he was always worried.
"Diaonia's army has already made a name for it. What I can do is to lead this newly-built navy to actively cooperate with the army and create a greater victory for the defense of the Dionysian Union!" Enani Luz finished All the veterans, including Amintas, were smiling and applauded for the inauguration of Enaniluth.
Polixis looked at the back of Enalus, with a smirk on his face.
Davers’s second proposal was about the construction of the avenue of Castron-Crimisa-Aspustum. Once this proposal came out, it was unanimously approved by all the veterans. The Dionysian Union has already enjoyed the benefits of building a boulevard, and even if Davers does not mention it, other veterans will make similar proposals. Up to now, the Diaonians have made a big difference in concept with other Greeks. They no longer think that a city-state can do as long as the sea is convenient, and there is no need to think about the road. They are not only concerned with the maritime access, but also believe that building a good road is an essential infrastructure for the development of a city.
However, Daves' second proposal did not end. He continued: "When we were besieged in Crimea, every day the messenger sent messages between Turui and Crimea, and ran back and forth more than a hundred miles. The light horses were exhausted a lot, sometimes The important news is still not delivered in time. I am thinking about a problem. As the territory of the Dionya Union gradually expands, the border city will only be farther and farther away from the territory of the territory, and how can it be timely? Master the situation in other cities in Dionia so that our Senate can respond to some unexpected events in a timely manner?"
The question of Davers caused a lot of thoughts.

We have frequent merchant ships and can keep abreast of the situation in other cities.
Mariji suggested:
We can set up a boat to deliver letters, which is fast and does not consume horses.


There are several problems with the use of sea routes. First of all, ships cannot sail during sea storms, especially in winter; secondly, this applies only to seaport cities. Inland cities like Niutum and Asprostum cannot. Passing; Third, during the war, the use of ships to transport letters is easily intercepted, because the sea is too large to be completely defended, and the army marches and cannot travel along the coastline at all times, so how can urgent orders and letters be timely? From the boat to the commander?"
Davers pointed out the drawbacks of using the ship to deliver the news. Mariji was screaming at the moment. He was embarrassed to say: "Adult, I haven't thought about it yet."
"It seems that we still have to go by land. We are now building roads to connect the cities of Dionia, so it is faster and easier to use the Hummer to deliver letters," said Cornelus. .
"You are right, we should be based on land, supplemented by sea. I think what we should do now is to arrange a special public official to carry the letter, making it a daily city-state affairs, so I propose that the alliance set up a Post Office." Daphus said with confidence.
post Office? ! Everyone heard the word that Devers said, and they all felt strange, apparently made by Daves himself.

The main role of the post office is to receive letters and parcels from the people of the Republic of Denia and then pass them on to the recipient...
Daphus gestured with a hand and patiently explained:
We have a post office in every city. With public officials, they receive letters and deliver letters every day. At the same time, we have to set up a station and a public service every four or fifty miles on the boulevard. There are simple hotels and horses in the station. When the messenger arrives at the station, he can go in and rest, drink water, and then continue to go... In this way, while the postal service is serving the people, every other day's news will be collected in the Senate, so that we can understand What happened in the territory of Onnia; in wartime, the messengers of the army can use our avenue system to replenish water at various stations, transfer horses, and quickly pass orders from the army..."
"This is a wonderful idea, it is a gods!" Kunogolata can't help but praise: "Post... If the post office is established, it will not only facilitate the army and the people, but it also allows the people of each city to interact with each other. Strengthening the connection, the cities of the Union of Teonia will become even closer! I see... in the future, we can also set up a post office in our allies to strengthen our interaction with them.
It is a senior former governor. At the glance, Kuno Gorata saw the wonderful prospects of establishing a post office for the Dionysian Union.
"I hope the post office can be established as soon as possible! When I get to Crimea, I don't have to worry about my children!" Scamblas said happily.
"I heard that you are not an old man. They are not obedient, you don't want to live with them,"? Stromboli asked strangely.
Scamblas raised his head: "The guy who has no children doesn't understand, don't talk."
The words almost provoked Stromboli to quarrel with him, and everyone laughed and persuaded.
Melsis stood up with a bitter face: "The ruling official, this is the construction of the post office, and the construction of the station, the cost of these buildings, the salary of civil servants, the cost of raising horses, and how much money to spend the national treasury?!

Without Daivers' explanation, Mariji said first: "Mersis, you still don't understand! The post office is sending letters and parcels to the people. Do you want to charge? There is a hotel in the station. If you go to stay, do you charge? I really don't know how your financial officer is!"
Mariji seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to run Mercedes.
Melsis didn't care at this time, but he eagerly asked Daves: "Do you have to pay a letter to deliver a letter? How much is the price?"
Daves nodded: "The post office was set up mainly to convey news and facilitate the people, so it should not be too expensive. I can see a letter from Opel. It is only necessary to look at the size and weight of the package to be priced. Let the person in charge of Maliji and the future post office consult."
"A letter from Opel, I think the people will be happy to accept this price. I am afraid that the post office will become very busy in the future!" Cornelus said with a smile: "Because this time we allocated land, many The 'parts' of the citizens will be in different cities, and the post office will be required to send messages to strengthen the management of the land."
The words of Cornelus have resonated with many veterans, not only ordinary citizens, but also the land they have allocated. Therefore, they agree with Daves’ proposal.
Melsis was still trying to calculate the income of the post office and found that the income was considerable. He immediately asked: "Is the post office's income turned over to the state treasury?"

After deducting the salary of public officials and various costs, the remaining income will of course be handed over to the state treasury.
Daphus’s words made Melsis smile:
In addition, I propose to set up a road bureau, which will be responsible for the planning and construction of all roads in the Union. , maintenance and management of roadside facilities."
Davers’s proposal was also endorsed by the elders. They enjoyed the benefits of the avenue. They also knew that after a avenue was built, it needed long-term professional maintenance. Otherwise, it would become dilapidated after a few years. .
"In the future, I will use the avenue ~EbookFREE.me~ I have to pay for it." Melssi looked at Davers.
"Free." Daphus spit out two words.
"To build an inter-city avenue, at least the cost of Tarant (this does not include the cost of land use, because the road land is planned in advance before the land is allocated to the citizens, belongs to the alliance, does not need to spend money, otherwise it is counted The price of the land to be bought, the cost is more than a few times.) The subsequent maintenance costs are spent at any time, a little bit of money, can't it?" Mersis asked.
"The roads are different postal. If the fees are charged, most of the people can not walk the avenues we built. This does not affect their travel. Instead, the road we built hard has been to serve the people, but only a few people use it. And the purpose of our original construction of the avenue is contrary to each other." Davers seriously explained.
"Adults are right! Our people in the Dionysian Union can enjoy a comfortable and flat road! You can enjoy the technology, but the low cost of medical treatment! You can enjoy the convenience of the um... Postal service! Our citizens only need to serve We can allocate land! Our citizens can be appointed to public office and get paid by testing!...Diagna has created so many benefits for the people. Can the most prosperous Athens in the Greek city-state do this?!" Plesinus said passionately.
