Vol 7 Chapter 72: Plato's investigation (1)

And Daves advocated at the venue that "to academic debate, do not unreasonably fight." It is to let the scholars wake up. In the subsequent lectures and seminars, although there was a heated debate, everyone was very good at controlling the mood.
This is the most striking of the debates between Plato and Democritus disciple Seinsterian.
This is because Sainstrian inherited the thought of Democritus. He believes that democracy is the most ideal form of government, and other forms of government are not desirable. Living in a democratic system, even if it is poor, is better than enjoying prosperity under an authoritarian system.
But he also stressed that if a democratic country is to work well, it must pay attention to the role of the rule of law. A well-governed city state cannot have perfect laws. Because human nature always seeks to avoid disadvantages, it always tries to make extra-legal profits. Therefore, letting the people obey the law is to protect the safety and life of citizens themselves. And to persuade the people to obey the law is a long-term mission of the city state...
His philosophy is exactly the opposite of Plato's political philosophy.
Plato advocates the sages to rule the world and promotes Wang Zheng. He hopes to use the concept of goodness to guide the people and cultivate the virtues of the citizens is the foundation of the country.
In particular, he opposes democracy. He believes that democracy indulges people's desires and causes the city-state youth to fall. It is cultivated with ambitious people and arrogant people who do not learn to be artless.
The result of this debate was that Plato won. Plato is knowledgeable, quick-thinking, and has lived in the city of Athens, where everyone is good at debate. He has been practicing a superb debate skill, and is also from Seinster, a remote town of Aldra. What Ryan can compare, not to mention Plato, with his mother country, the best democratic city-state in the Mediterranean, Athens, as an example, has counted all its ills and stupidity, and let the audience here feel the same, Seinsterian It’s reasonable to lose.
However, the Dionysian audience who have already implanted the concept of law-abiding in the bone marrow also strongly agree with Seinsterian that "the law is to ensure the good operation of the city-state", because Diaonia is using strict legal guarantees. The stability and unity of the entire kingdom.

The All-Greek Scholars Conference, which lasted nearly a month, finally ended.
During the time in Turui, well-known scholars from all over the Mediterranean not only exchanged academics, but also under the care of the college and with the full assistance of the city hall of Tuli, tasted the cuisine of Turui City and enjoyed it. I soaked in the hot springs, watched the fierce ball game, went to the hospital to check the health of the body, and appreciated the cultural customs of the aliens... It was full of harvest.
And the Dionysian Academy also collected the speeches of the scholars, compiled them into a book, named it "Selected Collections of the All-Greek Scholars Conference", and copied hundreds of copies, which were distributed throughout Greece.
Scholars with fame and fortune received satisfaction. In the following period of time, they often talked about this matter with people, and they were full of praise for the academic atmosphere of the Kingdom of Denia and the enthusiasm and wealth of the people. This has led to more city-state scholars to inquire: Will Dionia hold another scholar meeting? When is it held?
Only after the members of the Pythagorean school returned to Tarantum, because of the speech of Foster Kada, there was a quarrel, which led to conflict and eventually caused division.
Some people left Tarantum and traveled to the Eastern Mediterranean.
The other part, led by Lucius, stayed in Tarantum, thinking about how to perfect the philosophy of the Pythagorean school and to incorporate these unnatural numbers into it.
Among the well-known scholars, two people did not leave.
One is Hippocrates. Although he is already an old man, the medical science's rich ideas and advanced theories have surprised him. In just one month, he is not enough to understand, let alone learn, so he is willing to live. Down, guarding this Baoshan, until he has fully learned and learned, completely solved many of his life's confusion about medicine.
In this regard, Davers certainly supports. He was willing to approve his stay at the college and hang the name of the school teacher, and even gave him the title of
Dyonia Honorary Citizen
in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the medical cause throughout his life.
Another scholar is Plato. He asked Dafos to fulfill his promise and sent him to understand the political system of the Kingdom of Dionia.
.......................................
On this day, the court clerk Henipolis led Plato and the students of Spispus and Oleasi to the assessment center of the kingdom preparatory officials in the outer city of Tuli.
This center was originally near Victory Square, but with the expansion of the kingdom's territory, the number of people who need to be assessed has increased, and the venue for the examination has been unable to accommodate it. However, the territory of the city of Turi is limited and cannot be further expanded, so it moved to Outer town.
Henipolis walked in front while explaining.
Plato listened carefully and looked at the building that was not found in other Greek city-states: it had a large footprint, surrounded by thick stone walls more than three meters high, and the inside was not visible at all.
Several of them walked around the perimeter of the building for a long time before they saw the main entrance in the distance.
Plato noted that the bustling crowds and bustling hustle and bustle that are common in other urban areas of Turui are barely visible here. Even if there are many pedestrians passing by, they try to keep quiet and whisper. This may not only be related to a special inspection team patrolling here, but also related to the quality of the Turif people. They try not to interfere with the possibility. Citizens participating in the assessment within the center.
"There is still a temple there!" Ole As pointed at the distance, surprised.
"That is the Temple of Hades." Henipolis explained with a smile: "The assessment center has a benefit in it. Hades knows the truth and hates it. Any citizen who takes the test wants to cheat. Think about it, and in the end they can't escape his fair punishment."
Plato is thoughtful. During his visits to various departments in Turai these days, he can find traces of the direct and indirect existence of Hades. The who is in charge of the imprisonment has become inscribed in the hearts of the people. The people always constrained the supervisor of their actions, which forced him to ponder.
To the front of the assessment center, a statue of a dragonfly stood erected five meters away from the front of the gate. The statue was a tall and strong man. He was determined to hold the flames, his hands on the clouds, and he sprinted down.

Why would there be a statue of Prometheus here?
Olyas asked curiously.
Henipolis pointed to the sides of the gate and gestured to him. There were two lines of words carved there: May be a servant of the people, a devotee to the people, please enter this door; want to use power to earn wealth, oppress the people, roll away Elsewhere; signature Daves.
Reminiscent of Prometheus braving the great danger of being punished by Zeus to steal the skyfire and benefit mankind, the mentor and the tribe immediately understood the intention of the king.
Plato couldn't help but sigh: "This is moral education! Don't look at Diaonia to emphasize the law's restraint on the people. But in fact, the city is subtly teaching the people to be good at any time and place!"
Plato's voice just fell, the guards greeted him and warned: "This is the kingdom, please don't shout!"
Plato apologized.
Henipolis showed his waist card and the warrants written by Davers, and then they took Plato and they entered the hospital.
There are no pools, fountains, gardens, pavilions, etc. in the vast area of ​​the assessment center. There are only a dozen buildings like the storage warehouses of the port, and a piece of flat land that has been sturdy and flat. Some equipment is placed on the open space.
Only a hundred meters away in front of a building like a temple is quite powerful, adding a bright color to the assessment center of the entire kingdom.

Our Dionynia has passed the assessment every year and selected public officials. The examination time is concentrated in October, because this time is the leisure time, citizens have enough time to prepare. At the beginning of the year, various departments of various cities The chief officer will report the number of public officials required and absent during the year to the Royal Bureau of the Bureau of Management, EbookFREE.me, in accordance with the circumstances of his administration, and will discuss with the several adults of the committee. In this year, the Kingdom will evaluate the number of public officials and the specific assessment time of each department, and then distribute it to various departments. The city councils will notify the citizens of the Kingdom in the form of announcements.
Anyone who is willing to participate will pay attention to this news and be prepared in advance. Before coming to Tuli, they must first obtain the certificate of their city city hall to determine their citizenship and be a well-behaved law-abiding citizen...
Henipolis went to them while walking. Introduction.

In case the local city hall person accepts a bribe, concealing his illegal record?
Ole As asked. Even in Athens, when the tax is paid every year, there are wealthy citizens in the suburbs bribing the officials of Demo, and less statistics on the property they own, in order to pay less taxes. What's more, they are very interested in how to strengthen the supervision of bureaucrats in remote areas like the vast country of the Kingdom of Dionia.
"Even if he passed the examiner this time, he succeeded in becoming an official of the kingdom. But don't forget that we also have an ombudsman who supervises the official's behavior, a security officer who can complain at any time when he sees a grievance, and is familiar with Dai Ao. The people of the Nigerian law can report to the City Hall and the Senate at any time. At that time, this person will not only be severely punished, but also can trace the facts for him according to the certificate issued at that time in his file. The duty of the official of the truth.
