There are indeed too many consonants in the names of these two people.
"Besides, Lord Alcibiades is very loyal."
"Well...but in terms of ambition, it's still the same."
"maybe."
Rhodes was too naive and couldn't see what ambition was.
Perhaps, for Rhode, being able to accompany Hilde and serve her was already fulfilling her wish. When she was in Athens before, she could only look forward to her parents because she didn't have to starve anymore. This girl from a poor family made Tomyris feel distressed, but at the same time, there were some things she couldn't understand.
The two led the team and quickly entered Megara City. Tomyris and Rhodes did not waste any time. As soon as they entered the city, they went straight to Hilde's temporary residence. It was already night, and it should be Hilde's rest time. However, everything related to Collins was very important, so Hilde came out to meet the two in her pajamas.
Tomyris and Rhodes stood in the main hall.
When I looked up, I saw Hilde, wearing silk pajamas, walking towards me with a smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"No, it's not hard."
Rhodes turned his head away with a blush.
The selection of the general position in the third section of the sixth adjustment
Hilde's pajamas were so loose that her breasts were almost exposed, and you could almost see her buds.
Tomyris also coughed.
"Your Majesty, please pay attention."
"What's wrong, are you shy?"
This guy is really shy for once.
Tomyris's deliberate avoidance of gaze made Hilde quite curious. However, since it was time to talk about serious matters, Hilde felt that it would be better for her to be a little more serious. So, Hilde pulled her clothes up to cover her chest and shoulders, so that she looked more serious.
"How's the situation?"
"Xixi, the other party agreed."
"accepted?"
"Yes, as you expected, Aristocles did provide the conditions, but there is a slight change."
"Go ahead."
"He cares more about his own future than the interests of Collins."
"That's normal. At a time like this, making a profit for yourself is the most important thing. What does he want?"
"……Chance."
Hearing Tomyris say this, Hilde was also a little surprised.
opportunity?
Could it be...
It seems that I have met another interesting person.
Hilde smiled slightly, and then said, "So, he actually wants to use Corinth as a gift to win my favor and get an official position in the empire, such an opportunity?"
"If I understand correctly, that should be the case."
"interesting."
Hilde smiled faintly.
“That was really interesting.”
"What's your opinion?"
"I don't hate such adventurers. After all, he is also an oracle. The increasing number of oracles here is naturally a good thing for us. So, if he can really offer Corinth to me, I am not against giving him the 'chance' he wants."
"But this person always feels very uncomfortable."
Tomyris said cautiously:
"Very ambitious, I think he would betray His Majesty for the sake of profit."
"You know... it's not a bad thing to be ambitious, and it's fine to change one's mind according to the situation, but the most hateful thing is to be ambitious and stupid. I think Aristocles is not like that. He should be very courageous and smart, and he knows what he really needs at this stage. And that kind of stupid person will betray you for some petty gains, which is the most infuriating."
"Have you ever met such a person?"
"really."
Hilde was talking about someone she knew before traveling through time.
Just so-called friends.
However, Hilde couldn't help but frown when she mentioned the past. Rhode saw this, so he walked to Hilde's side, gently held her hand, and comforted her: "Sister Sissi, are you thinking about something unpleasant?"
"Indeed."
"Okay, don't think about those bad things."
A heartwarming smile bloomed on Rhodes' face.
"The most difficult times are over, aren't they? I will never betray Sister Sissi."
"You are such an angel."
Hilde hugged Rod.
Wow, how can there be such a cute child in this world.
Poseidon, you are really good at picking people!
When Tomyris saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile.
"We have also signed an agreement with Aristocles. If you have no objection, I will personally discuss with Aristocles here tomorrow to determine the day for Corinth to open the city and surrender."
"I'll leave it to you."
"it is good."
After saying that, Tomyris planned to leave.
But Hilde stopped her.
"I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead, Sissi."
"The Greek Empire has not had a stable government structure since its establishment. After all, we are in a war. But if this continues, the newly established empire will also run into problems due to an unstable political framework."
Yes, that's what happened to Alexander's empire.
Alexander's sudden departure caused the empire to collapse.
This is also normal. After all, the Alexander Empire was established in the flames of war, and the political framework of the Macedonian Kingdom at that time could not accommodate such a large empire. Similarly, now that the Greek Empire has been established, the political system still continues the Byzantine Empire. Many newly occupied territories have only hastily determined provinces and capitals, and many things are still in an unresolved state. This is challenging for the stability of the Greek Empire. Hilde has been thinking about this matter, and recently, he has an answer.
And now, it's time.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tomyris responded.
"Now, most of the empire's affairs are handed over to others."
"Well, so I have been thinking about establishing an effective imperial bureaucracy system, so I discussed it with Xiao Xuexue for a long time, and finally I decided on my answer."
"So your majesty is planning?"
"Tomyris, are you willing to become the great general of the empire?"
"General?"
Tomyris was a little confused.
"why me?"
"Because, in the empire, you are the only one who is most qualified."
"But there are many people who have accompanied your majesty in his battles and made great contributions."
"Don't worry, I won't let them down. They all have their own merits and will be given different positions according to their abilities. However, the position of the general who manages the country's military affairs must be handed over to you. You are the best at leading troops in battle and training troops, so I think there will be no problem if this position is handed over to you."
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
Tomyris no longer refused.
In that case, she could just accept it.
This is also Hilde's trust.
"What about me, Sister Sissi?" Rhodes blinked, "What should I do?"
"I'll take you into my harem."
"Really?"
Rhodes showed a look of surprise and shyness.
Hilde laughed and patted Rod's head, "Fake."
"Oh, it's true."
"Don't worry, you have your own duties too."
"Ok."
Rhodes seemed to be more interested in the harem.
"It's getting late, you should go and rest first."
"Yes, I'm leaving then."
Tomyris had mixed feelings.
General...
Hilde had discussed her plans with Tomyris.
In the court of the Greek Empire, there will be three most honorable positions.
One is the core bureaucrat, the consul, who manages bureaucracy and government affairs and helps Hilde deal with and decide a series of national affairs.
The Nobles Begin to Revolt
One was the general who managed the military and political affairs of the country, trained the troops, supervised the manufacture of weapons, and arranged the promotion and demotion of soldiers. The other was the inspector who supervised all officials and dealt with corruption. These three officials would become people of high status after Basileus in the empire. At present, this general was actually himself. Tomyris was a little surprised.
However, this also represents Hilde's trust.
Tomyris was still very grateful.
And Hilde had her reasons for giving it to Tomyris.
Tomyris has been a princess of Scythia since she was a child. She has been helping her father train troops and she herself is also an extremely strong warrior. This resulted in Tomyris having outstanding military talents. At the same time, Scythian cavalry tactics and training methods can also bring very good trends and traditions to the Greek Empire. After all, if you want to conquer enough places, cavalry will be the top priority.
Moreover, from the perspective of balance, Tomyris is a Scythian noble. The Scythians can only be regarded as a marginal ethnic group in the Greek Empire. The degree of Hellenization is very low. If Tomyris becomes the general, the Scythians will naturally have less resentment. They will feel that they are more valued. At the same time, this also gives Tomyris a unique advantage, that is, Tomyris's position as the general will not make her the only power center, because the Scythians do not have the power to influence the entire empire.
Tomyris does not have a nationwide base.
Naturally, it won’t cause any trouble.
Although, this also doubts Tomyris's loyalty.
But once you become an emperor, you have to put aside some emotions and think about deeper things.
In Hilde's plan, the bureaucratic system of the Greek Empire is relatively simple, but it is sufficient to adapt to the overall productivity of the Greek Empire.
Now, including the Greek city-states, the bureaucratic systems in various places are characterized by simplicity. It is common for a few bureaucrats to manage a large area, and the composition of the bureaucracy is also not fixed. More often, it is the nobles who are in charge of things. The mature bureaucratic system only exists in the Persian Empire, but that maturity is only relative. The bureaucratic system of the Persian Empire also has chaos and simplicity, which is also the conclusion reached by Hilde and Xerxes after discussion.
So, this is quite embarrassing.
Hilde combined what he knew.
As well as the actual situation of the Greek Empire, a political system was established.
This system will not be announced until Collins is taken down.
The next day.
