"Chapter 17: Preparing for the Barbarians, 13"
Regarding God, I had no idea that they existed, nor did they exist. www.biquge.info There are many things that hinder our understanding, such as obscure problems, short life, etc.

Judging from the financial report for May alone, the city's revenues were still growing, and as the population of Rome increased, so did the city's tax revenues, and as the Tassia tribe grew in size, so did the city's trade revenues.
At present, the highest of all the income of the city of Rome is undoubtedly the tax revenue of the city itself, and the trade income that is second only to the tax revenue is only more than half of the tax revenue, but Bai Feng is most optimistic about the trade between the city of Rome and the tribe of Tasya.
The Tasya tribes are still in a period of rapid expansion, and all the other tribes that have been incorporated into the Tasya tribes have not yet formally integrated into the Tasya tribes, and once these tribes are fully integrated into the Tasya tribes, the trade potential of the Tasya tribes will increase dramatically.
Vassals: Tasya Tribe (Normal)
Region: Barbarian Land
Faction Leader: Gamilios (Junior Great Swordsman)
Population: 76,892
Forces: 17,237 warriors (including apprentice swordsmen and above)
Force Loyalty: 80 (up to 100)
The Tasya tribe, which has already annexed four tribes, already has a population of more than 70,000 people, and when the last two remaining tribes are annexed by the Tasya tribe, the total population of the Tasya tribe can definitely break through the 100,000 mark!
As long as these 100,000 people become the objects of Rome's trade, even if the city only trades with one-fifth of them every month, these trades can bring more than 5,000 gold to the city of Rome.
However, how to help the Tasia tribe to completely integrate the six conquered tribes into the Tasia tribe, Bai Feng felt that his Roman city still had to intervene appropriately, and when the conquest plan of Gatus and Licinius was completed, the Roman city would intervene.
After checking the financial report for May and the current situation of the Tasia tribe, Bai Feng focused his attention on the list of attributes of the city of Rome, where Bai Feng could clearly and unambiguously observe the changes in the attributes of the city of Rome.
Rome City (Large Town)
Governor: White Peak

Existing armies: 4 teams of youth army (level 2), 4 teams of youth army (level 0), 3 teams of urban militia (level 1)
Special Army: 1 team of Cretan archers (1st class), 1 team of Parthian archers (1st class), 300 Temple warriors
Mercenary Army: 3000 Barbarian Warriors
Existing buildings: Doge's Palace, Wooden Wall, Temple of Apollo, Town Barracks, Road, Shop, Farmland, Mine, Blacksmith Shop

Buildable buildings: bazaars, public farms, paved roads, stables, training grounds, harbors, sewers, temples of Apollo, deep cave mines
After sending Li Sini to lead four teams of young army soldiers and three teams of town militia soldiers to cooperate with Gatus on the expedition, Bai Feng did not check the attributes of these seven teams of soldiers anymore;
The experience of the four teams of Roman Young Army soldiers at the beginning of Rome City has changed from the initial level one to the current level two, and the experience of the three teams of town militia soldiers recruited by Bai Feng has also changed from the initial level zero to the current level one.
War is indeed the only way for an elite army to grow up! Although these seven teams of soldiers in Rome City have already suffered casualties of varying degrees, their gains are even greater; when they return to Rome City, Bai Feng will immediately reorganize them, and when the time comes, they will be restored to a fully equipped elite army!
Of course, during the reorganization, their overall combat effectiveness will also decline to a certain extent, because after all, the newly recruited officers and men do not have the combat effectiveness and combat experience of the veterans; fortunately, none of the officers and men of these seven teams have suffered any major casualties, and the proportion of casualties among the officers and men of each team has been controlled within 20 percent, so that the reorganization will basically not affect their overall strength too much.
After checking the attributes of the city of Rome, Bai Feng clicked on the construction of a stable under the discussion with Yue'er, and the reason why Yue'er suggested that Bai Feng build a stable first was mainly to make up for the lack of cavalry strength in Rome City.
The lack of cavalry in Rome, with only a group of Parthian archers, was obvious, and more importantly, the Estheni tribe had a very strong cavalry force, for which the city had to have a certain cavalry strength.
With the construction of the stables, the city was able to recruit two new classes, the Mastiff and the Roman Hussar, whose long recovery time greatly limited their war potential, but the Roman Hussars were as cheap as ever.
With a recruitment price of 390 gold and 108 light cavalry, the Roman light cavalry can definitely be one of the best scout units in Rome City, and under the premise that Rome cannot recruit other better cavalry in a short period of time, the Roman light cavalry is the best choice for the city of Rome.
Bai Feng himself was still skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the Roman light cavalry, but the city of Rome still needed a sizable cavalry for daily patrols, and there was no doubt that the Roman light cavalry brought by building stables would be the only option for the city of Rome.
After choosing to build a stable, Bai Feng took the opportunity to recruit a magician, the so-called magician is naturally a spellcaster under the banner of a diplomat;
Judging from the current total population of more than 11,000 people in Rome City, the number of troops that Bai Feng can recruit is more than 1,700 points, and the current strength of Rome City is seven teams of soldiers, and the theoretical total strength is 1,120 people;
