The trivial affairs of the city of Rome and the various towns directly under its jurisdiction were not very many, and were mainly handled by the tax collectors and tribunes, while the soldiers of the patrol guards were responsible for ensuring the majesty of the tax collectors and tribunes, and capturing those thorns who dared to challenge the authority of the officials of the city of Rome.

The real military affairs are handled by Bai Feng himself, and Bai Feng does not dare to pretend to be the most important things related to the development of the city of Rome; more importantly, the ordinary officials recruited by the system are not capable of solving the important affairs of the city of Rome.

At this time, Bai Feng missed his days in the Roman world very much, you must know that the government affairs of the Augustan Empire were handled by a large number of professionals under the coordination of Vipsani and others, and many things did not have to worry about Bai Feng at all.

Bai Feng, who was different from the past, finally tasted the helplessness of being overwhelmed by government affairs, and he desperately wanted to summon Vipsani and other government affairs masters, so that he could completely free himself from complicated military and political affairs.

The whole August passed quickly, at least faster than Bai Feng imagined, and even Bai Feng had time to use this August to do something, and in a trance, a new September came, and as a result, Bai Feng's long-awaited treasury funds were also restored.

After opening the August financial report of Rome City, Bai Feng couldn't believe the data that appeared in front of him, in the past August, Rome City's trade income was as high as 5,420 gold, and even the tax revenue was a terrifying 4,630 gold!

Such a terrifying increase in income was completely beyond Bai Feng's expectations, and he couldn't even understand how these incomes had increased so much, and after thinking about it to no avail, Bai Feng could only attribute the increase in income to the successful westward expansion of the city of Rome.

In any case, the increase in income is a good thing for the city of Rome, with enough treasury funds, Bai Feng can free his hands and feet to enhance the strength of the city of Rome and promote the further development of the city of Rome.

There is no obvious change in the attribute table of the city of Rome, except that there are two more tuntian legions and two poor towns, only the population that has been in a state of growth is still rising as always, because the population growth rate of the city of Rome is certain, and with the continuous improvement of the total population, the new population is also increasing every month, which also greatly promotes the development of the city of Rome.

The total population of nearly 20,000 would have brought about 3,000 troops to the city of Rome to recruit, and four of the twelve youth armies attached to the First Legion were the initial army, and they were as unstaffed as the special classes summoned by the temple.

In this way, the city of Rome has a total of eight Roman youth armies, two Roman light cavalry, and three town militias, with a total strength of about 2,000 people, and less than 1,000 systematic troops that can be recruited.

According to Bai Feng's plan, the five towns directly under the city of Rome needed five teams of youth troops and ten teams of town militia to form a guard, but the number of troops in the city of Rome limited Bai Feng's plan, and he could only recruit a maximum of six teams of soldiers in the new September.

After some careful consideration, Bai Feng decided to recruit five teams of Roman youth and one group of town militia first, and these six new army teams plus the original three teams of town militia made a total of five teams of Roman youth army and four teams of town militia.

Bai Feng's new plan was to first pull up the guard framework of the five small towns, and then the towns of Hobulo and Vasco, which were the least loyal to Rome City, would be directly stationed with full guards, and the other three towns close to Rome City would only send a team of young soldiers to be stationed there.

Later, the population growth of Rome City brought more troops, and then slowly replenished all the six groups of town militia in the three small towns close to Rome City.

After clicking on the recruitment list of the city of Rome, Bai Feng first selected five teams of Roman youth army and one team of town militia, and then selected seven double-column warships; in the blink of an eye, the five-figure treasury funds that had just been repaid became less than half.
