- Diogenes (ancient Greek Cynic philosopher)

The construction of the mine is also a good investment for the city of Rome, compared to the 2,000 gold required to build the mine, the income of the mine is up to 200 gold per month, and in just ten months, the city of Rome can recoup the entire investment.

In the case of the financial situation of the city of Rome, the construction of mines was a luxury, but after the city of Rome had a stable trade with the Tassia tribe, with the sharp increase in trade income, the city also had enough funds to build mines.

More importantly, if the city of Rome is to develop from the town level to the level of a large town, this investment must be paid, and Yue'er's words are very clear, if the city of Rome does not build mines, then the satrap's palace necessary for advanced large towns cannot be built.

For the further development of the Roman city, Bai Feng could only decide to build a mine, and after deciding to build a mine, Bai Feng began to prepare to expand the ruling area of the Roman city.

The current city of Rome can get a fixed population increase of 500 per month from the temple of Apollo, plus the population increase brought about by the population growth ratio, the population growth rate of the city of Rome is still very considerable.

The construction cost of the mine is not low, but the construction time is only twenty days, which is still the standard construction time, and if Bai Feng can get the other gods in the temple of the gods of the Tasya tribe, then the construction time of the mine can still be shortened.

As soon as the last building in the town stage of the mine is completed, Bai Feng can start to build the Doge's palace in Rome to the advanced big town stage, and at that time, the area of Roman city will expand rapidly, and more buildings can be built.

Although this is a good thing from the perspective of development, Bai Feng will also face more challenges and problems, and as the area of the city of Rome expands, it will be a matter of time before other barbarian tribes discover the existence of the city of Rome, which will inevitably bring new crises to the city of Rome.

After entering the stage of large towns, more and more buildings can be built in the city of Rome, and the cost of construction will also increase, which requires the city of Rome to have a higher income to promote the development of the city of Rome.

When the city of Rome enters the stage of a large town, there is no doubt that the income of the city of Rome will be further increased, because with the expansion of the city of Rome, the income of the city of Rome from agriculture, trade, taxation and other revenues will inevitably be higher.

But these limited improvements alone are definitely not enough to support the rapid development of Rome City, so Bai Feng still has to find a way to make Rome City's income higher, and let Rome City develop steadily and rapidly.

The addition of the Tasia tribe has brought a lot of benefits to the city of Rome, not to mention the increase in trade income for the time being, even those gods with the power of faith have also benefited Bai Feng a lot, and Bai Feng is naturally very concerned about this aspect.

However, after all, the god statues possessed by the Tassia tribe were extremely limited, the development potential was also limited, and the benefits that could be brought to Rome City were also limited, and Bai Feng felt that it was urgent for him to find another barbarian tribe.

With the addition of a group of Parthian archers, Bai Feng also had a mobile force in his hands, and with the powerful Licinius and his general guard, Bai Feng could already lead these soldiers to explore the farther part of the city of Rome.

In fact, the Tasya tribe is not proficient in the understanding of the barbarian land, but the druids of the Tasya tribe have an extraordinary understanding of the strength of the barbarians in the barbarian land, otherwise they would not be able to become the spiritual leaders of all the barbarian tribes.

Bai Feng didn't think about letting the druids of the Tasya tribe tell him the details of the wild land, but after all, the language barrier and the relationship between them was not close, so Bai Feng could only keep his thoughts in his heart.

In addition, the fact that the Tassia tribe did not know much about the wild land did not mean that they were also unfamiliar with the area around the city of Rome, and since the Tasya tribe had lived in this area for more than 300 years, they must have been very familiar with the surrounding area.

After a few more days in Rome, after the carving of the eight silver statues was completed, Bai Feng led Licinius and his general guard, as well as a newly recruited group of Parthian archers, to the tribe of Tasia with the eight silver statues.

As for the four statues that are still being carved, they will be carried directly by the mercenary warriors to the temple of the gods that is about to be built, and when the time comes, there will be a temple of gods that the barbarian warriors can believe in.

The Parthian archers, dressed in purple uniforms, were more conspicuous in the barracks of Rome, but after leaving Rome with Bai Feng, the black-clad and black-armored general guards led by Licinius became a more conspicuous presence among the Parthian archers.

A patrol of 108 archers had been cruising in front of and behind Bai Feng, while Licinius followed behind Bai Feng with his general guard, and of course, as always, there were three people who followed Bai Feng, such as Maxi, Darnell, and Bai Sheng.

The eight carved idols were dragged by eight carriages, and in order to prevent the statues made of pure silver from being contaminated with dust and debris, Bai Feng deliberately wrapped these eight idols in red cloth on the carriage.

The group walked on the road between the city of Rome and the Tasia tribe without hurrying, the speed of the cavalry was indeed much faster than the speed of the infantry, and only two hours later, Bai Feng and the others came to a position about the middle of the two places.

Just as Bai Feng and Bai Sheng were chatting about the daily life of the Tasya tribe, the archers who had been patrolling not far away quickly rushed back, and looking at the clouds of smoke and dust rolling up in the eastern sky, Bai Feng understood why the patrolling archers had hurriedly withdrawn.

The Tassia tribe was located directly north of the city of Rome, and the road between the Roman city and the Tassia tribe also ran from south to north, but this smoke and dust rose from the east, which is enough to prove that they definitely did not come from the cavalry of the Tasya tribe!

In fact, the only few hundred cavalry of the Tasya tribe had been almost exhausted in the previous battle with the Roman city, and the rest were now in charge of the tribe's hunting in the camp of the Tasya tribe, how could it appear in the east?

Although Bai Feng didn't know where this cavalry that suddenly appeared came from, judging from the scale of the smoke and dust alone, it was absolutely impossible for the cavalry in front of him to be less than five hundred, which was not a strength that the Tasya tribe could take!
