The greatness of humanity lies in the proud posture of daring to face fear!

- Plutarch (Greek writer of the Roman Empire)

After returning from the blacksmith shop, Bai Feng was not busy with anything else that night, but cooked a dinner for Yue'er in the governor's mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yue'er, who had eaten Bai Feng's own cooking for the first time, originally questioned Bai Feng's cooking skills, but when she really ate the food that was not outstanding, she immediately became Bai Feng's loyal little fan, and also became another captive of Bai Feng's cooking skills!

After eating this dinner with Yue'er, Bai Feng accompanied Yue'er to wander around the streets of Rome City after dinner, and then returned to their rooms to rest, tomorrow will be a new month.

Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 6445 gold

Current Treasury Total: 7445 gold

In June, the city was able to maintain its finances by not spending precious money from the treasury on the market, which had otherwise been in a negative financial situation for the first time.

However, this was only the special situation of last month, and from this July, the city of Rome had to spend 1,000 gold of treasury funds every month to buy a month's worth of food from the market for the consumption of the Tasya tribal alliance and the city of Rome.

This is not a small expense, but it is enough to slow down the development of the city of Rome, after all, 1,000 gold treasury funds are not a small amount, as for the trade income and tax revenue that are still in the growth stage, Bai Feng still has high hopes for these two incomes.

However, Bai Feng also had to admit that the reason why the city of Rome was able to maintain its financial growth this month was all due to the growth of agricultural income, and if it were not for the doubling of agricultural income with the construction of public farms, the negative growth of the city of Rome would definitely be inevitable.

In any case, the city of Rome did not fall into dangerous negative growth in June, and from this month onwards, the city of Rome will really face a powerful enemy, and Bai Feng will have to be cautious in using the limited treasury funds of the city of Rome.

After carefully checking the June financial report of the city of Rome, Bai Feng clicked on the attribute table of the city of Rome again, and sure enough, as Bai Feng expected, the attribute table of the city of Rome has been further optimized again!

Rome City (Large Town)

Governor: White Peak

Income: 8200 gold/month

Population: 13,158 (the temple adds 1,000 people per month)

Social Security: +170%

Population growth: +5%/month

Tax rate: Medium tax rate

Treasury: 7445 gold

Current Army: Three Groups of Town Militia (Level 1)

Special armies: a team of Cretan archers (level 1), a team of Parthian archers (level 1), a team of Germanic berserkers (level 4), three hundred temple warriors

Special Personnel: Diplomat (Webster)

Active legions: 1st Legion (12 Roman youth troops, 4,000 barbarian warriors, Licinius legion), Cheetah Legion (6,000 barbarian warriors, Captain of Gatus), Tiger Legion (10,000 barbarian warriors, Captain of Bazel)

Existing buildings: Doge's Palace, Wooden Wall, Temple of Apollo, Town Barracks, Road, Marketplace, Public Farm, Mine, Stables, Blacksmith Shop

Under Construction: None

Buildable buildings: paved roads, drill grounds, ports, sewage canals, deep cave mines

The original three columns of the existing army, the special army, and the mercenary army have been optimized again, and the twelve Roman youth armies and all the mercenary armies in the existing army that have been incorporated into the first legion have been grouped into the new active army column.

In addition, Bai Feng recruited Webster, a spellcaster in the name of a diplomat, and there was an additional attribute column for special personnel in the attribute table of Rome City, which also seemed to mean that the caster was special, Webster was definitely not just an ordinary class!

After carefully studying the list of attributes of the city of Rome, Bai Feng began to build a new one, and among the five buildings that have not yet been built in the city of Rome, the most beneficial to the city of Rome is definitely the paving of the stone road.

Because the construction of the paving road can bring the most tangible benefit to the city of Rome, that is, the scale of trade between the city of Rome and the tribal alliance of Tasia will be further expanded, so Bai Feng did not hesitate to start the construction of the paving road.

On the other hand, as the population of Rome increased again, the number of troops that could be recruited in Rome increased by more than 200 people, and this time Bai Feng was no longer recruiting the Roman Youth Army, he wanted to recruit two teams of Roman light cavalry for the city before the outbreak of war.

Class: Roman light cavalry

Capacity: 108

Experience: None

Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: 390g/110g

Armament: round shield, spear

Characteristics: Can form a wedge formation, good endurance

If you only look at the attribute table of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the Roman light cavalry is still quite good, and recruiting a team of Roman light cavalry with 108 cavalry at a price of 390 gold is a good deal.

After all, the advantage and mobility of cavalry on the battlefield are much stronger than that of infantry, and the city of Rome is now extremely lacking in cavalry strength that can reconnoiter the battlefield, it is still necessary to recruit two teams of Roman light cavalry;

The infantry of the Roman city could not take on the reconnaissance mission, and only one team of Parthian archers was too stretched, which was the reason why Bai Feng decided to recruit two teams of Roman light cavalry; after deciding to recruit two teams of Roman light cavalry, Bai Feng sent an extra spy in the recruitment column, which cost 350 gold of treasury funds.

After the construction of the paved stone road in the Doge's palace and the recruitment of two teams of Roman light cavalry and a spy, Bai Feng went to the market in Rome, where he spent 1,000 gold to buy enough food for 100,000 people for a month, and more than eighty percent of the grain accumulated in the storehouses of Rome was transported by Gamilios, and the rest was the grain and grass of the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion.
