Lives in the villa, this is one fashion that Kingdom of Theonia started for these years, originated from Davos, he constructed a villa on the Thurii hot spring big bathing place not far hill, when is hottest in the summer brings entire family to north mountainous area in the summer vacation, casual and bubble hot spring, deeply by liking of children. 住别墅,这是戴奥尼亚王国这几年兴起的一种时尚,最早源于戴弗斯,他在图里伊温泉大浴场不远的山丘上修建了一栋别墅,在夏天最热的时候就带着全家到北面山区里避暑、休闲、泡温泉,深受孩子们的喜欢。 After held several banquets occasionally, the senior statesmen and ministers discovered advantage that lives in the villa, was sparsely inhabited , hill in path rugged difficult line of northern mountainous area to become the goods in great demand arid and barren quickly, Thurii has money and have the status citizens to line up the Ministry of Agriculture purchase, to the Thurii regional congress has to through the bill, limit the mountain ridge in Thurii territory to be sold afterward excessively, and mountain ridge that sells also strictly stipulated the area of villa, the trees of other regions can not fell at will. 在偶尔举办了几次宴会之后,元老和大臣们就发现了住别墅的好处,原本人烟稀少、土地贫瘠、道路崎岖难行的北部山区里的一个个山丘很快就成了抢手货,图里伊有钱、有身份的公民们排队到农务部购买,到后来图里伊地方议会不得不通过法案,限制图里伊领地内的山岭被过度出售,并且出售的山岭还严格规定了别墅的面积,其他区域的树木不得随意砍伐。 The Thurii citizen has to look at Amendolara and in Signa, Roscianum Thurii core region, forced the regional congresses of these three cities to limit...... this unrest to sweep across the entire kingdom the sell mountain ridge quickly one after another finally, caused council especially for „mountain ridge sell and villa construction” formulated an article in «Kingdom of Theonia Law». 图里伊公民只好把目光转向了图里伊核心区域之内的阿门多拉腊、比西尼亚、卡斯特隆,很快也迫使这三个城镇的地方议会相继对出售山岭进行限制……最终这股风潮席卷了整个王国,导致元老院特地在《戴奥尼亚王国法律》中为“山岭出售和别墅建造”制定了一项条文。 Antras Polis expressed in this way oneself care, he understood that oneself Elder Brother was firm, is not the person who easily can be convinced, once urged Aristias your majesty to propose to Davos like him, „no longer held the post of an information manager duty, then developed toward the executive official”, he believes that by his elder brother's ability, can definitely have a more magnificent future, but was rejected by Aristias stern words, and warned after him, do not mention this matter again. 安特拉波里斯只是通过这种方式来表示一下自己的关心,他了解自己的哥哥性格坚定、不是一个轻易能被说服的人,就像他曾经劝阿里司提拉斯向戴弗斯陛下提出,“不再担任情报总管一职,转而往行政官员发展”,他相信以他哥哥的才能,完全可以有更辉煌的前途,但是遭到阿里司提拉斯的严词拒绝,并且警告他以后不要再提起此事。 Antras Polis does not speak, Aristias asked: „You today for what matter?” 安特拉波里斯不说话了,阿里司提拉斯却问道:“你今天来是为了什么事？” „Big brother, do I come to have a look at you is not good today especially?!” Antras Polis's discontented saying. “大哥,我今天特地过来看看你不行吗？！”安特拉波里斯不满的说道。 „Polis comes!” With kind shouting, in the main building came out a woman. “波里斯来啦！”随着一声亲切的呼喊,主楼里出来了一个妇女。 „Sister-in-law!” Antras Polis shouted one respectfully. “嫂子！”安特拉波利斯恭敬的喊了一声。 Comes person Aristias wife. 来人正是阿里司提拉斯的妻子阿苏娜。 „You had have not come to our home for a long time.” Does intentionally the smile of blame to say. “你可是有好久没来我们家了。”阿苏娜故作责怪的微笑着说道。 „Sister-in-law, is not I do not come, these years are not have taken the post of the public service outside area, last month just now resign from Xibonian, for serveral days have been busy going through various handing-over procedures...... just to get through me to catch up look.” Antras Polis answered hastily. “嫂子,不是我不来,这些年不是一直在外地担任公职吗,上个月才刚从希伯尼安卸任回来,这些天一直忙着办理各种交接手续……这不,刚办完我就赶来了。”安特拉波利斯连忙解释道。 „Since comes rarely, tonight enjoys the dinner at home together! I have made the servant prepare, you called together sister-in-law,( daughter) also thought of that her younger brother settled Oaks, tonight our family well gathering one gathered!” “既然难得来一趟,今晚就在家一起享用晚餐吧！我已经让奴仆去准备了,你把弟妹柯莉阿丝一起叫来,还有莉蕾娅(阿苏娜的女儿)也想念她的弟弟安都奥克斯了,今晚我们全家好好的聚一聚！” A face said warmly, Antras Polis looks to oneself Elder Brother, he knows that Aristias rarely holds the meeting at home. 阿苏娜一脸热情的说完,安特拉波里斯看向自己的哥哥,他知道阿里司提拉斯很少在家里举办聚会。 But at this moment, Aristias said rapidly: „Your sisters-in-law spoke, hurries to send the servant to go home, called the sister-in-law and children.” 但此刻,阿里司提拉斯却迅速说道:“你嫂子都说话了,赶紧派仆人回家,将弟妹和孩子都叫来吧。” Looks to the husband, charming smiles, then also said: „Princess Cheiristoya a little urgent matter makes me do, I hurry back in the afternoon, both of you first in home chatting slowly.” 阿苏娜看向丈夫,妩媚的一笑,然后又说道:“克莉斯托娅王妃有一点急事让我去做,我下午就赶回来,你们俩先在家慢慢的聊。” „Good, Sister-in-law, you first go busily.” On Antras Polis face is piling smiling, gazed after to lead two maidservants to leave the dwelling. “好的,嫂子,你先去忙。”安特拉波利斯脸上堆着笑,目送阿苏娜带着两个女奴离开了宅院。 As the council senior statesman, he to so respectful, is not completely because she is oneself sister-in-law, because also she once was the Cheiristoya personal maidservant, now was still in this princess business the efficient assistant, was deep a King Davos trust, in addition Aristias was the King Davos trusted aide, therefore Antras Polis said a moment ago oneself Elder Brother was the kingdom high-ranking court officials not wrong, many senior statesmen and city chief executive seemed like powerful and prominent, actually in the power and influence day heavy King Davos heart also compared with not on a few words of this couple. 作为元老院元老,他对阿苏娜如此的恭敬,可不完全是因为她是自己的嫂子,同时也因为她曾经是克莉斯托娅的贴身女奴,现在仍然是这位王妃生意上得力的助手,深得戴弗斯国王一家的信任,再加上阿里司提拉斯是戴弗斯国王的心腹,所以安特拉波里斯刚才说自己的哥哥是王国重臣并没有错,不少元老和城市行政长官看似地位显赫,其实在权势日重的戴弗斯国王心中还比不上这夫妇俩的一句话。 However Mr. and Mrs. Aristias usually the conduct low key, rarely communicated with others. Always but actually seems gentle facing own wife to Aristias of who one cold face, always makes a decision by the family affairs issue, but news has it that initially actively pursued and adds on Princess Cheiristoya to act as a matchmaker again, two talents arrived at one. Antras Polis thinks that this rumor is very credible, otherwise by his Elder Brother indifferent individuality, it is estimated that now single. 不过阿里司提拉斯夫妇平时行事低调,很少与他人来往。一向对谁都一副冷面孔的阿里司提拉斯面对自己的妻子倒显得温柔,在家事问题上总是由阿苏娜拿主意,据传闻当初可是阿苏娜主动追求、再加上克莉斯托娅王妃做媒,两人才走到了一起。安特拉波里斯认为这个传言很可信,否则以他哥哥这种冷漠的个性,估计现在还是单身。 Antras Polis pretends that had not seen a happy expression when Aristias looks at to be departing the corners of the mouth appears, his earnest saying: „Big brother, my time has an important matter, please help me make a decision.” 安特拉波利斯假装没有看到阿里司提拉斯望着阿苏娜离去时嘴角浮现的一丝笑意,他认真的说道:“大哥,我这次来是有一件重要的事,请你帮我拿个主意。” Aristias immediately becomes serious: „Said to my study room.” 阿里司提拉斯立刻变得严肃:“到我的书房去说。” „Big brother, I want to respond Davos your majesty summons, follows the army to go to the Latin area......” in the study room, Antras Polis's earnest saying. “大哥,我想响应戴弗斯陛下的号召,跟随大军前往拉丁姆地区……”在书房里,安特拉波里斯认真的说道。 Originally, Davos may the merchants, not only to donate the grain to the kingdom provided the opportunity, to not have the appropriate position temporarily, can only hold the post of the council senior statesmen of idle duty, and kingdom government officials issued the summons, hopes that they can compete in the Latin area along with the army voluntarily, in the future will hold the post is attacked and occupied each public service of area, in order to can better stability occupied area...... 原来,戴弗斯可不只是对向王国捐赠粮食的商人们提供了机会,也为暂时没有合适职位、只能担任闲职的元老院元老们、以及王国官吏们发出了号召,希望他们能够自愿随军队出征拉丁姆地区,将来担任被攻占地区的各个公职,以便能更好的稳定占领区…… Aristias does not seem to be surprised, on the face has not revealed surprised, but asked one gently: „Why chooses Latin?” 阿里司提拉斯似乎并未感到意外,脸上也未露出一丝惊讶,只是轻轻的问了一句:“为什么选择去拉丁姆？” „Big brother, you know that I return to Thurii after the position due of Xibonian chief executive, the kingdom government official administration committee was good in Xibonian administrative performance appraisal to me, however in campaigning for the position of Cosenza chief executive I actually lost to Bagul, now the chief executives and other senior posts in kingdom each city are full, I do not know that also when must treat to can take office again, I think that...... might as well follow Davos your majesty to go to Latin......” Antras Polis to say own true idea. “大哥,你知道的,我在希伯尼安行政长官的职位到期后回到图里伊,王国官吏管理委员会原本对我在希伯尼安的行政表现评价还不错,但是在竞选科森扎行政长官的位置上我却输给了巴古勒,现在王国各个城市的行政长官和其他高级职位已满,我不知道还要待到什么时候才能再次上任,我就想……不如跟着戴弗斯陛下去拉丁姆……”安特拉波利斯说出了自己的真实想法。 „Doesn't have the Roscianum chief executive position also to empty?” Aristias proposed one. “不是还有卡斯特隆的行政长官职位还空着吗？”阿里司提拉斯提了一句。 „The Roscianum chief executive also called the chief executive! In my not idea also Lysias gesticulates to me!” Antras Polis shakes the head to say. “卡斯特隆的行政长官还叫行政长官吗！我可不想头上还有一个吕西阿斯对我指手画脚！”安特拉波里斯摇头说道。 A few years ago Davos for the integration resources and prominent Thurii in the central position of kingdom, established the Thurii district, Signa, Roscianum, Amendolara were merged into this region, their chief executives must receive the Thurii chief executive's jurisdiction, but Lysias has held the post of the Thurii chief executive many years, the prestige was very high, these chief executives do not dare to violate his order mostly. 前些年戴弗斯为了统合资源、突出图里伊在王国的中心地位,成立了图里伊大区,比西尼亚、卡斯特隆、阿门多拉腊都被并入到这个区域内,它们的行政长官都要受图里伊行政长官的管辖,而吕西阿斯已经担任图里伊行政长官多年,声望很高,这些行政长官多半都不敢违背他的命令。 „Actually, your majesty after council proposed this plan, I want to suggest that you go to Latin, never expected that you made the decision quickly.” On the Aristias face shows a gratified expression, do not look that he usually rarely contacts with Antras Polis, in fact he has been paying attention to oneself younger brother's performance in political arena. “其实,陛下在元老院提出这个方案之后,我就想建议你去拉丁姆,没想到你这么快就做出了决定。”阿里司提拉斯脸上露出一丝欣慰的表情,别看他平时很少去联系安特拉波利斯,事实上他一直关注着自己的弟弟在政坛上的表现。 „Do you also support me to go?!” Antras Polis hears this saying, was at heart firm, saying that but worries about: „Now what I am worried is Latin is too far from Kingdom Center, is remotely located, holds an office in that place, cannot gain too many attaching great importance, but stays the time that is too long there , will miss other good opportunities. Moreover that area is the alien race person, but also is not neighboring with the kingdom, perhaps is not quite good to govern, if there is riot......” “你也支持我去？！”安特拉波里斯听到这话,心里又坚定了一些,但还是担忧的说道:“我现在担心的是拉丁姆距离王国中心太远,位置偏僻,在那个地方任职,得不到太多的重视,而在那里待的时间太长,又会错过其他的好机会。另外那个地区全是异族人,还和王国不相邻,恐怕不太好治理,万一发生暴乱……” Aristias earnest listens to younger brother's words, said slowly: „You do not need to worry that holds an office unable to obtain to attach great importance to there, as far as I know your majesty attaching great importance to Rome goes far beyond your imagination, before South-Italian War he makes me establish in view of the Rome news channel, after war he expanded the investment to Rome intelligence collection, and calls on me to him report the Latin situation every month, but to the second half of last year, your majesty is requirement, ‚, so long as Rome has the new situation, reports’...... you to know that to him has one to use the soil to pinch the system immediately in the military conference room in royal palace Italy and Sicily map.?” 阿里司提拉斯认真的听完弟弟的话,缓缓说道:“你不用担心在那里任职得不到重视,据我所知陛下对罗马的重视远远超过你的想象,早在南意战争之前他就让我建立针对罗马的消息渠道,在南伊战争之后他更是加大了对罗马情报收集的投入,并且要求我每隔一个月就要向他汇报拉丁姆的情况,而到了去年下半年,陛下更是要求,‘只要罗马一有新的情况,就立即向他汇报’……你知道在王宫的军事会议室中有一个用泥土捏制的意大利和西西里地图吗？” „I know, heard manufactures finely!” Antras Polis nod reply. “我知道,听说制作得非常的精美！”安特拉波利斯点头回答。 „In other city-state models, the Rome model is biggest, is only one pinches the system with the red soil, is striking, thus it can be seen your majesty attaching great importance to Rome even must surpass Carthage, therefore these will go to battle with him take your executive officials time, before this will be, has never had the matter, he will perhaps think will be becomes the Kingdom of Theonia territory Rome and Latin allied country, therefore you will not need to worry that could not gain attaching great importance to of kingdom to there......” “在所有其他城邦的模型中,罗马的模型是最大的,也是唯一一个用红土捏制的,非常醒目,由此可见陛下对罗马的重视甚至还要超过迦太基,所以这一次出征他才会带上你们这些行政官员,这可是以前从未有过的事,恐怕他所想的就是要将罗马及拉丁盟邦都变为戴奥尼亚王国的领地,因此你根本不用担心到了那里得不到王国的重视……” Aristias, Antras Polis did not have to worry at this point thoroughly, he understands, so long as had attaching great importance to of King Davos, the resources of kingdom possibly vigorous leaned toward the Latin area, the security will naturally have the safeguard. 阿里司提拉斯说到这里,安特拉波利斯彻底没有了担忧,他明白只要有了戴弗斯国王的重视,王国的资源就可能大力的向拉丁姆地区倾斜,安全自然也会有保障。 „Polis!” Aristias look serious saying: „Since you chose the adventure, rather than glad to mediocrely, then to Latin, do not dread difficultly! You must deeply understand that local various races living habits, diligently tried to find out how to govern there area, stands erect you there prestige...... , when the Latin area is annexed to the kingdom completely, you must become most understand there senior statesman! As the matter stands, when Latin has any important position vacant or important issue happens, what your majesty will first think is you, like Lucania Bagul and Bruttii Dorum, more than ten years ago you have missed an excellent opportunity in Catania, these do not miss time again!” “波利斯！”阿里司提拉斯神色严肃的说道:“既然你选择了冒险,而不是甘于平庸,那么到了拉丁姆,就不要畏惧艰难！你要深入了解那个地区各种族的生活习俗,努力的去摸索怎么治理好那里的地区,竖立起你在那里的名望……等到拉丁姆地区完全并入王国时,你一定要成为最了解那里的元老！这样一来,一旦拉丁姆有什么重要的职位空置或者重要的问题发生时,陛下就会首先想到的是你,就像卢卡尼亚的巴古勒、布鲁提的塞多鲁姆一样,十几年前在卡塔奈你已经错过了一次大好的机会,这一次可别再错过了！” Antras Polis understands the Elder Brother said „error opportunity” refers to anything: In the past, Theonia just occupied the Sicily southeast, was born he who grew up successfully to lead in Catania big riot that revolted against Syracuse, therefore became the council senior statesman, was the Catania chief executive, he should gradually develop based on this, became spokesmen in kingdom and council of Sicily the pivotal character, finally lacked him of administrative experience to screw up finally. 安特拉波里斯明白哥哥所说的“错失机会”指的是什么:当年,戴奥尼亚刚刚占据西西里的东南部,在卡塔奈出生长大的他又成功领导了反抗锡拉库扎的大暴乱,并因此成为元老院元老,担任卡塔奈的行政长官,他本应在此基础上逐步发展,成为西西里在王国中的代言者、元老院中举足轻重的人物,结果缺乏行政经验的他最终自己搞砸了。 Now the expectation of Aristias not only makes him feel the pressure, and makes him feel in high spirits, his sinking sound said: „Big brother, you could rest assured that this I will not easily miss time again!” 现在阿里司提拉斯的期望既让他感到压力,又让他感到精神振奋,他沉声说道:“大哥,你放心,这一次我不会轻易再错过了！” ............................................. ……………………………………… Thurii in February had entered the season of rain, had almost all day fine drizzle to moisten the entire city, let bustle about for days and still to maintain the joyful mood when people who the dusk were about to go home, last year one a drought that swept across entire Magna Graecia increased their treasuring and affection to rainwater. 图里伊的2月已经进入了多雨的季节,几乎下了一个整天的蒙蒙细雨滋润着整个城市,让忙碌了一天、在黄昏时准备回家的人们依然保持着愉悦的心情,去年的一场席卷整个大希腊的旱灾增加了他们对雨水的珍惜和喜爱。
