After all, the situation in the Roman Empire was so dangerous that the letters of credence submitted by the Roman Senate to the Han Dynasty basically arrived in the Central Plains and Northern Europe at the same time as the canonization documents for Yuan Tan.
To be honest, the document conferring Yuan Tan the title of Duke of the Northeastern County of Rome may have arrived earlier. If it were not for the respect of legal principles and rules, Yuan Tan might have already received the letter of credence from the Han Dynasty. Received canonization from Rome.
Even if Rome has been mentally prepared, even if the Han Dynasty does not agree, it will forcibly canonize Yuan Tan after notifying the Han Dynasty. But if it can obtain the tacit approval of the Han Dynasty and then canonize Yuan Tan, at least in the follow-up The operation is not that embarrassing.
"What? There's a locust plague in East Africa?" Severus looked at the young man sent by Sergio with a confused look on his face, unable to clearly understand the magnitude of the matter.
"Yes, the East African locust plague." Serali explained helplessly. He also participated in the meeting of the Senate and was able to explain the scale and lethality of the East African locust plague to Severus in detail. In short, Severus listened to it. Stunned for a moment.
As the Duke of Roman border counties and the governor of North Africa, Severus had seen locust plagues in Africa, but he had never seen this outrageous locust plague, but he still knew the impact of locust plagues, so his face became much uglier after hearing this, especially After Serali fully described the impact of a locust plague of this scale, Severus became even more pale.
"Does the Senate currently have a reliable solution?" Severus asked with a gloomy look. After such a thing happened, whether the Nordic side's plan to besiege Odin can continue to be maintained is already a big problem. The food of the expeditionary force Consumption, that's no joke.
Serali sighed and handed the canonization document signed by the Senate to Severus. Severus was stunned after reading it, then sat in his seat without saying a word and began to think about what this thing was. What were the advantages and disadvantages of the Roman Empire?
Severus already had an accurate understanding that the Blazing Sky Ring was sealed, but in the subsequent canonization, Severus was relatively more cautious.
"Is there no other choice?" Severus asked, looking at Serali.
"Yes, there is no other choice. At present, our grain reserves cannot last until the second round of new grains. We must sow at this time. The only suitable location at present is Eastern Europe. Compared with It would be more appropriate for us to mobilize manpower to Eastern Europe and let the ready-made Yuan Family Reclamation Corps take on this task." Serali explained.
"Then the Senate has discussed how many seats in the Senate will be left for Yuan after he accepted the canonization." Severus evaluated it in his mind, and finally did not deny this fact. Indeed, compared to Rome, It would be faster and more effective for the empire to organize its own manpower to farm in Eastern Europe along the Don River. It would be faster and more effective for the Yuan family to farm the fields and then collect them, but if they were canonized, they would not only have obligations!
Although rights and obligations are not completely equivalent, once Yuan Tan is canonized as the Duke of Roman Border County, he will at least have to arrange a position for him in the Roman Senate. Whether he comes to participate is one thing, and whether he has this position. is another matter. If you want the other party to fulfill its obligations, the lowest level of authority must
It needs to be transferred to the opposite hand.
Every Roman border county duke has his own faction in the Senate. Ganassis does not appear in the Roman Senate all year round, but this does not prevent Ganassis from flying directly to the Roman Senate when the interests of the eastern border counties are harmed.
The court and Pompianus slapped the table, and with the momentum of unreasonably disturbing the situation, they tore part of the benefits from Pompianus' hands.
What is called a Duke? This is a Duke.
As for canonizing Yuan Tan as a Duke, the most basic powers and benefits are to be given. These benefits are there. As long as the Duke of the northeastern border counties has not fallen, sooner or later he will be pulled out and paid to speak for him in the Senate.
political power.
But if you don't give this authority, then the canonization will be a hammer.
Take the newly-appointed Duke of the Northern Border Counties of Rome and Governor Gordian of Great Britain as an example. Why was it confirmed three or four years ago that he would be the Duke of the Northern Border Counties of Rome? Only this year has the title and authority been truly implemented.
In fact, it is because the division of many powers and interests is not easy to achieve, and each duke is a team that can operate semi-independently.
If Yuan Tan was integrated into the Roman Empire, even if Yuan Tan had his own team and allowed the other party to be semi-independent of the imperial political system, his powers and interests could be reduced a lot, but the most basic rights and interests would not be touched.
After all, politics is a concentrated expression of economic interests. It is impossible to want a horse to run without feeding it grass.
So Severus went straight to the core of the problem. Compared with Sergio's description in the secret letter to Severus, he, a military emperor, was straightforward and gave the newly arrived Duke of Border Counties several positions in the Roman Senate.
This is the most realistic and basic interest.
Take the current Governor of the Atlantic, Duke Nigel, as an example. He has more than thirty senators in the Roman Senate. Although it cannot be directly determined that these people are from Nigel, these people have a certain status in Nigel.
When someone has an idea, he will take the initiative to help release it in the Senate, and then discuss it and form a bill, which will be promoted by the state.
Of course, this is mainly because Nigel really needs to be capable and powerful, plus Severus is indulgent. Anyway, Severus has more than 200 die-hard crops in the Senate. Even a guy like Nigel who has gone against the will of heaven
The guy who has one-tenth of the Senate's dog-baring rights and has theoretically triggered the Roman emperor's strike line is indifferent to Severus.
Anyway, there are more than two hundred senators in the Claudius family, and Severus is the patriarch of the Claudius family, so when voting, he has to find dozens of people from his own family to play the role of the second and fifth son.
Things are completely different from the previous situation where the Roman elite emperor had nearly a hundred senators supporting him because of their interests.
In the past, the opposition parties in the Senate could unite to fight against the emperor, but now...
You scream louder, I want to see if the final vote can be passed, there is no way to block it, my die-hard crops can cast more than 200 votes by themselves!
Therefore, Nigel has more than thirty senatorial positions and Ganassis has more than twenty senatorial positions. For Severus, there is no difference at all.
This is also the reason why Sergio dared to bring Yuan Tan in. Anyway, even if you come in, when I vote for the Duke of the northeastern border county, it is meaningless even if you vote no, there is Claudius, the patriarch. The Si family is so arrogant.
It's just that Sergio couldn't directly suggest in the secret letter how many senatorial positions should be reserved for the Duke of the Northeastern Frontier County. He couldn't even say how to allocate the senatorial positions. After all, he was not an emperor, he was an acting patriarch. That's all, how can it be surpassed?
"Go find Emperor Huangfu and Perennis. We need to discuss it, and we also need to wait for the reaction from the Han Dynasty after being notified." Severus already had a plan in mind, so he spoke to Serali, After Serali left, Severus said to the shadow man behind him, "Letas, you go notify Oswin, and then return to Italy first. The country needs your strength."
Over the years, Letas's combat effectiveness has not only not increased, but has even declined, but his status has risen significantly from the Roman Emperor's attendant to the Roman Empire's tool. Originally, he had to be hidden because of the outrageous black history of killing Commodus. , now in the Roman Empire, it has its own
In a special location, everything that happened in the past is no longer held accountable.
There is no way. The only established space teleportation technology in the three empires is developed based on Laitas's special ability. As of now, if you want to smoothly carry out space teleportation, Laitas still needs the coordination of the tool man.
