The first New Year after coming to this world, Bai Feng spent it with the elders and siblings of the Bai family, and now that a whole year has passed, Bai Feng, who has received the allegiance of countless barbarian warriors, misses those people of the Bai family more and more.

The barbarians who live a hard life have no special feelings for the arrival of the New Year, because the day of the New Year is the coldest winter in the wilderness, and it is also the most difficult time of the year for the poor and backward barbarians.

Countless barbarians who are poorly clothed and hungry will die in the cold winter season, which is a cruel reality that no barbarian force can avoid; even the three powerful overlord tribes in the eastern region cannot be immortal in winter.

Under such harsh conditions, how can the barbarians talk about a new year or not? The so-called celebration and excitement are only trivial matters that are not worth mentioning in the face of life and death, and only survival is the highest pursuit of the barbarians.

The barbarian people under the rule of the city of Rome, whether they willingly accepted the rule of the city of Rome or not, had to admit that the city of Rome had indeed given them a better life and the capital to celebrate the New Year.

The barbarian people who lived in the houses of the town gradually lived a stable life, and with the help of the Tuntian army and the policies of the Roman city, they had their own land and food reserves, and now they could finally celebrate the New Year happily.

Bai Feng, who knew the living conditions of the barbarian people well, asked the Roman Spear Legion, who had returned to Rome City for renovation, to leave Rome City with a large number of gifts on the first day of the new year, and these gifts worth 60,000 gold coins were Bai Feng's New Year's gifts to the barbarian people.

As the governor of Rome City, Bai Feng decided to take advantage of the New Year's opportunity to buy people's hearts, and the best way was naturally to give free gifts to the people under the rule of Rome City, and a small town gave gifts worth 10,000 gold coins, this is the method Bai Feng adopted.

As for the core city of Rome, Bai Feng, who was rich and wealthy, directly took out 40,000 gold coins to hold celebrations in Rome; at this time, the total population of Rome City was less than 40,000, so you can imagine how luxurious the celebrations held by 40,000 gold coins were.

Unbeknownst to Bai Feng, his unintentional actions had made the city of Rome the real core of the entire city of Rome's sphere of influence, and the lavish and splendid celebrations took place in the city for half a month and attracted a large number of spectators from other towns.

These people, who were also members of the Roman city's power, could have moved freely within the sphere of influence of the city of Rome, and it happened that the New Year's event in the city of Rome was a wonderful event that the barbarians had not seen, so the barbarian people who could not bear the loneliness came to the city of Rome one after another.

Bai Feng, who was busy building on the port of Aceni, didn't have time to care about the barbarian populace, and since the arrival of the new year, he had taken the lead in recruiting ten battlefield ghosts, and their mission was to scout the Eastern Alliance on the north bank of the Cangluo River.

After the last heavy defeat of the Dart tribe, Bai Feng has always been extremely wary of the Eastern Alliance, and the fleet of the Roman City was specially formed to prevent the large-scale invasion of the Eastern Alliance, and the Roman Spear Legion has also been guarding the south bank of the Cangluo River for several months.

Even if the army of the Eastern Alliance only appeared once, the cautious Bai Feng did not dare to be careless, the army of Rome City was mainly focused on dealing with Francis, and now Bai Feng, who was free, changed his target to the Eastern Alliance.

Adrien led his battlefield ghosts and was sent by Bai Feng to protect Queen Boudicca, and he could not return to Rome for a while.

In addition to the ghost of the battlefield, Bai Feng also recruited thirteen teams of Roman light infantry and seven double-column warships, and the next systematic army recruitment in Roman City will be recruited according to the established establishment standard, and the existing thirteen teams of Roman youth army just need the assistance of light infantry.

After the city of Rome entered the city stage, Bai Feng only needed to recruit thirteen more teams of Roman heavy infantry, and thirteen brigades of Roman troops would be formed.

Because the population growth rate of Rome City was limited, even with the sacrifice of the Temple of Apollo, it was impossible for Bai Feng to recruit all the troops required for the establishment of Licinius's First Legion and Antio's Second Legion in a short period of time.

Therefore, his plan was that both legions would not be able to be formed for the time being, and that each legion should first maintain a system of two wings, so that the city of Rome would have enough population to replenish the first and second legions within a month or two of entering the city phase.

As for the recruitment of the double battleship, that was Bai Feng's naked ambition for the Cangluo River, and in Bai Feng's view, as long as the city of Rome had a strong surface fleet, the Cangluo River, which ran through the entire eastern region, would become a forbidden place for the city of Rome.

At that time, the Roman army in control of the Cangluo River could appear anywhere along the Cangluo River at any time, such a strategic advantage that no other barbarian power in the eastern region could have.

Even in the future, the army of Roman City can go up the Cangluo River and enter the territory of the Celestial Dragon Empire or sail eastward into the territory of the Orc Empire; in short, the benefits of controlling the Cangluo River are temptations that Bai Feng can hardly refuse.

And if you want to control the Cangluo River, Roman City must have a powerful fleet; the barbarians with almost no naval strength are not the opponents of the Roman City fleet, and the Tianlong Empire, which also has a powerful fleet, is the real opponent in Bai Feng's eyes.

In the next year, Bai Feng, who attaches great importance to the development of the fleet, will recruit more and more powerful warships on a large scale, and sooner or later, the entire Cangluo River will become a river of freedom for the ships of Rome City to gallop, and that is Bai Feng's ultimate goal!

As the legions of Rome City entered the right track of training, the newly recruited battlefield ghosts were also sent by Bai Feng to the north bank of the Cangluo River, and Bai Feng, who had dealt with these things, once again came to the Temple of Apollo with two statues.

The total population of the Roman city has already exceeded one million, and the number of systematic troops will also exceed five thousand after the thirteen teams of Roman light infantry are recruited.

The total income did not need to worry about anything at all, once the port of Essini was built, coupled with the increase in tax revenue brought about by the increase in the population of the city of Rome itself, and the expansion of the trade between other towns and the city of Rome, the monthly income of 30,000 yuan was easily reached.

In this way, the only problem that Bai Feng needs to solve personally is the total population of Rome City, in order to increase the population of Rome City in the short term as much as possible, Bai Feng decided to directly increase the population of Rome City by sacrificing sacred objects!
