Chapter 1035
Tibulus understood what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "There are no clans in the Kingdom of Diónia, and the law states that 'women also have the right to inherit'. After the husband dies, as long as it is proven that his wife has always been virtuous, she can inherit all of her husband's property. However, if she marries again, her new husband has to be married for at least five years before he can share his wife's property. Of course, that is unless there are special circumstances.
However, you're a senator of the kingdom, so you don't need to worry about housing. Although there is no more empty space in the inner city, there is still a lot of public land in the outskirts of the city hall. This is all thanks to the order that His Majesty issued after the city was built. 'All land within two miles of the inner city of Turín shall be public property and shall not be sold.' Now, it seems that it was a wise decision!
Later, the Senate also issued similar orders to other towns based on this order. When the time comes, the senator will definitely designate a piece of residential land in the outskirts near the inner city and give it to you free of charge. He will also let the construction department send people to build your house according to your needs. You don't need to spend a single opol … "
After hearing this, Publius felt relieved. He used his hand to wipe away the sweat on his face and said gratefully, "Tibulus, thank you very much for your explanation! You've always taken care of me on the way from Rome to Turín. No matter how you feel, I've already regarded you as my first friend after joining Diónia, a true friend! "
"Ah … I really didn't expect it … But I'm really honored to be your friend, Sir Publius! Then please allow me … to regard you as a good friend! "Tibulus' voice was trembling, and he was obviously a little excited.
"That's great! When I move to Turín, I'll still need your guidance and help. "
"Sir Publius, if you need my help, just let me know! I grew up in Turín, so I'm very familiar with this place and have many friends. But when you get a foothold in Turín, I'll still need your help! "
The two of them laughed, and suddenly felt much closer to each other.
Thus, Publius asked directly, "Tiburus, what is the best way for me to establish myself in Turií as soon as possible?"
Tibulus thought for a while before saying, "Lord Publius, it depends on what you want first. If they wanted to live a comfortable life, they could choose not to accept any position. They could just attend the Senate meetings as a senator, express their opinions, and cast their votes. This way, they could receive a handsome monthly salary. Some senators lived like this, and they lived very comfortably.
But I don't think you're such a person. If you want to make a difference, you must first familiarize yourself with the laws of Diónia. I know that Rome is also a city-state that attaches great importance to the law, but the kingdom's laws are not only extremely numerous, but they also cover a wide range of areas. If you understand them, you won't become the laughing stock of the people after you move to Turín and make mistakes. Also, when you express your opinions in the Senate, you won't make mistakes and be laughed at by the senators. "
Publius nodded and said, "You're right. When I was in Rome, I've already borrowed a law book from the Asistes and started to read it, but it's not careful enough. It seems that I need to put more effort into it."
"Secondly, you should hire a tutor to teach you how to speak Diónia. You speak Greek very well, but Greek is not equivalent to Diónia. Not only are the pronunciations somewhat different, but there are also many new words in Diónia. I believe you've already felt it in your previous contact with us. When you can really speak Diónia, the people of Turií will truly accept you. "
Publius nodded solemnly.
Tibulus continued, "You have to take every Senate meeting seriously. Attend it on time, abide by the order of the meeting, actively express your opinions, and have your own unique views. Don't just raise your hand and go along with it like some people. Especially when it comes to Rome and certain aspects of the Latin region, you have to take the initiative to speak up and control the direction of the entire discussion. Because you're from Rome, you're more familiar with the place than them. Also, you have to frequently contact your friends in Rome and understand the situation there in detail so that you can take the initiative to propose issues to solve some problems in Rome or Latin. In the long run, you can represent the interests of Rome or the Latin people in the Senate and have a certain amount of influence in the kingdom … "
Publius was a little moved by his words and nodded repeatedly.
However, Tibulus increased his volume and said, "However, no matter how much influence you have by speaking and moving your lips in the Senate, you won't get the respect of the people, let alone the attention of His Majesty! As far as I know, those who His Majesty summons to the palace to discuss matters, host banquets, and visit are all ministers with real power and have done real things. So if you want to achieve greater development in the kingdom, you have to do real things. "
"Real things …" Publius muttered in a low voice.
"That's right! In the past, some senators like you who joined the kingdom were unwilling to take up some middle and low-level public office because of their status. They always had the extravagant hope of directly becoming the chief executive of the town. It seems that they have never been approved by the Senate. You have just joined the kingdom and are not familiar with the situation in the kingdom. His Majesty and the senior senators do not understand your ability, so they will not give you heavy responsibilities. So you have to lower your status and fight for some lower positions first.
However, in the city of Turín, even the middle and low-level positions are always full and not easy to obtain. However, you can go to Abyssinia, Castellón, Amendola in the greater Turín region. These places are relatively easier. Serve as the sub-officials of the finance department, commerce department, agriculture department, construction department, supervision department, and other departments in these towns' city hall. When you are familiar with government affairs, you will gradually be promoted to the person-in-charge of a town's department, and finally serve as the town's adjutant.
At this step, you can take the initiative to apply when the Senate elects a new town's chief executive. As long as His Majesty is satisfied with your past achievements, he will take you into consideration … "
"About this method … how long will it take?"
"It's not like before now. It's getting stricter. Probably four or five years."
"Four or five years, that's so long …"
Tibulus sneered and said, "It will only take four or five years to become a town's chief executive after joining the kingdom. This is already very good! For example, if we pass the examination and take up the kingdom's public office, even if we work hard for 20 years, as long as we do not become senators, we will not be able to become a town's chief executive! But to become a senator, sigh … how can it be so easy!
However, I heard some rumors. 'His Majesty wants to discuss with the rotating chairmen about changing the law so that officials with outstanding achievements and ability, but not senators, can also take up this position!' I think this is not a rumor. This war has added a lot of land and many towns to the kingdom. It is not enough to only have senators as the town's chief executive. Moreover, I heard that there will be a fixed position of the kingdom's governor in the future … "
"Governor?! … "
"This … You don't have any extravagant hopes for now. The position of governor will definitely be given to senior senators who have outstanding achievements, are very capable, have made enough contributions, and are able to gain His Majesty's trust. You will have to wait at least ten or twenty years before you have the chance."
"…"
After a while, seeing that there was no response from the other party, Tibruce hurriedly asked, "Lord Publius, are you alright?"
"I'm … fine …"
Tibruce heard that his voice was weak and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly said, "Lord, we have stayed in the steam room for too long. It is easy for us to feel dizzy. We have to leave quickly!"
As he spoke, Tibulus went over to help him up. The two of them looked as if they had just been fished out of the water. Their bodies were dripping with sweat as they staggered out of the fumigation room and entered another small room.
The temperature here was relatively lower, and there was no mist. There were two wooden beds in the room. On the wooden bed was a stack of neatly folded towels. There was also a shiny copper pot and a few thin, curved stewing knives hanging on the wall.
Publius sat on the edge of the bed and looked around as he recovered his energy.
However, Tibruce shouted loudly, "Is anyone there?!"
Just as he finished speaking, the wooden door opposite him was pushed open, and two bare-chested servants entered. They bowed respectfully and said, "Sirs, what can I do for you?"
"You should be waiting here and checking the fumigation room at any time. What if we faint?" Tibulus criticized.
"Lord, we were originally waiting in this room, but we heard you talking loudly inside, so we temporarily retreated to another room. Also, the manager of the bathing area told us that there is a lord who is a Turií, so we thought that there should be no problem … "One of the servants quickly explained.
Tibruce's face was slightly red. He had only been focused on chatting and had almost made a mistake. He quickly coughed a few times and said, "Give us a massage."
Massage? This was another new word that Publius did not understand.
The two servants immediately diligently wiped the sweat off their bodies. Then, they let them lie on the narrow wooden bed and began to massage their backs.
Publius saw the man repeatedly pat Tibruce's body with both hands. Tibruce looked comfortable and enjoyed it, and it seemed to be very good. However, when he was being massaged, the servant's fingers seemed to have a magical power. Every time they pressed, he would feel a strong sense of numbness and swelling. He had originally wanted to lie down and continue the previous topic with Tibruce, but now he could not help but scream "Ah! Ah! "non-stop, and he could not continue talking at all.
Obviously, the servant had seen this too many times. He did not stop moving, and his strength did not decrease.
