Rome's 500 bowmakers could each make four longbows a day, and 2,000 longbows were produced in a single day, and the terrifying amount of production kept the Simpsons and Wendell busy, and the soldiers of the Doge's Guard were about to become lumberjacks, so they still couldn't supply the craftsmen with a huge amount of consumption.

In just a few days, all the locust trees within a radius of twenty miles of the city of Rome were swept away, and there were tens of thousands of locust longbows in the warehouses of the city of Rome.

The soldiers of the Doge's Guard were also freed, Simpson and Wendell took them back to their normal training, and the craftsmen who had stopped making bows were not idle, and Bai Feng, who was idle anyway, let these craftsmen start to pound crossbows.

Considering the complexity and cumbersomeness of the crossbow, Bai Feng didn't expect these craftsmen to really toss the crossbow, in order not to let these craftsmen have nothing to do, the bored Bai Feng just drew a crossbow pattern for them.

In order to standardize the army in Rome, Bai Feng, a patient with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, moved all the military camps of each legion in Rome to the west of Rome, and also built several new military camps to ensure that each legion had its own military camp to be stationed.

As for the three Tuntian legions, the Tassia legion and the Aceni legion, the legions of these five legions were all arranged by Bai Feng outside the north of the Roman city, which was a little different from the pure Roman city legions.

In fact, from the perspective of ownership, the three Tuntian legions should also belong to the legions of the Roman city, but Bai Feng also thought of the nature of the army when dividing the military camp, which completely separated the Tuntian legion from the field legion.

Among the three Tuntian legions, the combat effectiveness of the last two Tuntian legions was almost negligible, but Palmer's first Tuntian legion was still very strong, especially the existence of 2,000 strong surrendered troops among them, which made their combat effectiveness leap forward.

It's a pity that with the current strength of Roman City, it really can't support more troops, and at this time, the value of the Tuntian Legion is not inferior to that of the Field Legion, and Bai Feng can only reluctantly send these elite soldiers to Tuntian.

Since the last time Bai Feng raised the salary of the soldiers in Rome to five silver coins per month, the first 20,000 soldiers have almost exhausted the monthly gold and silver coins of Rome City, and now the city has six regular legions, with a total of more than 70,000 soldiers.

Even if the system army that did not need to pay military pay was removed, the army that still needed to pay five silver coins per month was as high as 68,000, and the 1,500 soldiers of the Doge's Guard were one gold coin per month, making a total of 35,500 gold coins.

35,500 gold coins! This is still the result of Bai Feng's cheekiness not to pay the Tuntian army, and the Roman city automatically generates only 100,000 silver coins and 10,000 gold coins every month, which adds up to 20,000 silver coins, which is not enough to pay military salaries at all!

If Bai Feng was still living in the Bai family and had entered Bai Feng's army now, then he would know what a terrifying number it was to give five silver coins to each soldier every month, and even the wealthy Tianlong Empire would not be such a loser!

A manly man, how can he take back what he said? Bai Feng, who lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, would not easily give up his promise to the soldiers, not to mention that there was still a bug like a market in Rome?

Every 100 gold treasury funds can buy 10,000 real gold coins, only 1,000 gold treasury funds, plus the gold and silver coins generated by the city of Rome itself every month, Bai Feng can solve the problem of three months of military salaries for the army, which is still acceptable to Bai Feng.

Thinking of this, Bai Feng felt that he really didn't need to lose the hearts of the soldiers of the Tuntian Legion for the matter of tens of thousands of silver coins, so Bai Feng, who originally did not plan to pay the Tuntian Legion, changed his mind and set the military salary of the Tuntian Legion at three silver coins per month.

Even the Tasia Legion and the Esini Legion, who stayed in Rome City for training, Bai Feng, who felt that he was wealthy, also promised to give them a salary of three silver coins every month; Bai Feng's almost money-throwing behavior naturally won the cheers and praises of these two legions, but the price that Bai Feng needs to pay for this is also very realistic, and the monthly military expenditure of Rome City has risen to 53,500 gold coins!

On the night of the announcement of this promise, Bai Feng, who reacted, understood what it meant to regret it; originally 1,000 gold treasury funds could be paid for three months after buying gold coins, but now it can only be paid for two months, Bai Feng can only smile speechlessly and bitterly.

The question of military pay is only a small issue after all, although Bai Feng has paid a great price for this, but what he has gained is the loyalty of countless soldiers, and being able to buy priceless loyalty with valuable gold coins is worth it in itself.

The persuasion work on the side of Gamilios was almost done, and the three new towns were built ahead of schedule, and the huge relocation work officially began, and nearly 300,000 barbarian people became new townspeople.

Seeing that the urbanization process of the barbarian tribes promoted by himself has made great progress, Bai Feng, who is overjoyed, has personally named these three new towns, namely Tasia Town, Grenor Town, and Rai Town.

After the establishment of these three towns, the Tasya tribal alliance disappeared completely, and Gamelios, who was unwilling to stay in these three towns to live an ordinary life, also came to Rome and only served as the commander of the Tasya legion.

With the establishment of the three towns, only the Aceni tribe of Queen Boudicca was left among the vassal forces of the city of Rome, which means that the three newly established towns are not subordinate forces of the city of Rome, but are really towns directly under the jurisdiction of the city of Rome!

Surprised, Bai Feng hurriedly took this question to ask Yue'er, in recent times, Queen Boudicca has been living in the Doge's Palace in Rome City, and has no intention of returning to the Aceni tribe camp;

Every time Bai Feng looked for something to do with Yue'er, Queen Boudicca was always by Yue'er's side, and this time it was naturally no exception, but this time it was the top secret of the city of Rome, and Yue'er still wisely sent Queen Boudicca out of the room first.

When Bai Feng asked a question, Yue'er immediately gave Bai Feng a positive answer and told Bai Feng a better news: these three towns directly belonging to the city of Rome could be governed by tax collectors, protectors, and patrol guards sent by the city of Rome. How could Bai Feng, who had received this good news, delay? Early the next morning, three patrol guards set off with three tax collectors and three civil protection officers.
