- Democritus (the great materialist philosopher of ancient Greece, one of the founders of the doctrine of atomic materialism)

However, Bai Feng has always developed a good habit in the city of Rome, that is, everything will be discussed with Yue'er, maybe some things are not something that Yue'er can solve, but she can also talk to Bai Feng, right?

In Yue'er's opinion, it is difficult for the city of Rome to obtain income from trade and diplomacy at this stage, and the only thing that can support the development of the city of Rome is tax revenue and agricultural income, and these two incomes are basically the same as expenditure.

In the absence of large-scale military spending in the short term, the economic situation of Rome is not very bad, but if something unexpected happens, the economic situation of Rome, which needs to recruit troops, is not so rosy.

After all, the geographical location of the city of Rome is in the interior of the barbarian area, and this is the world of the barbarians, and sooner or later the existence of the city of Rome will be discovered by the barbarians, and then the city of Rome will face a military threat from the barbarians.

Could it be that the city of Rome, threatened by the barbarians, could still maintain the security of the whole city of Rome by relying only on four groups of young men and one group of Cretan archers? It was only a matter of time before the expansion of armaments was a matter of time, and all of this required the support of large sums of money.

More importantly, with the monthly population of the Temple of Apollo increasing by 500, the development of the city of Rome will be smooth sailing, at least there will be no bottlenecks in terms of population, and when the city of Rome moves from the town to the big town, more buildings need to be built, and each building needs to cost more money.

This also means that the extremely limited funds in Bai Feng's hands cannot be spent casually, and must be spent in key places, otherwise, the slightest carelessness may bring a devastating disaster to the development of the city of Rome.

Yue'er's words were not alarmist, after listening to Yue'er's reasons, Bai Feng also felt that his idea just now was too impulsive;

The development of the city of Rome is almost doomed to be slow, because the time required for every building is there, and it is impossible for Bai Feng to shorten the time required for the completion of those buildings, including the military camp that is now being built, there are several buildings to be built in the city of Rome in the town stage, such as shops, farmland, roads, mines, etc.

In addition to the thirty days that had already taken it, these five buildings would take Bai Feng ninety days, because in addition to the roads, which cost 400 gold and ten days, the other barracks, shops, and cultivated land would take 600 gold and twenty days, and the mines would take 2,000 gold and twenty days.

In this way, Bai Feng's Roman City will not be able to develop to the size of a large town in the next three months, and no one can guarantee how much things can happen in three months, you must know that Bai Feng has only been in this world for two months, and enough has happened.

Under Yue'er's persuasion, Bai Feng decisively gave up the idea of spending 3,000 gold to recruit a general, but the financial crisis that was coming soon also made Bai Feng have a sense of restless crisis, if he didn't solve this financial problem, Bai Feng couldn't even sleep well.

But how to solve this financial crisis is something that Bai Feng has no clue about, Bai Feng doesn't know what method to take to solve this upcoming financial crisis, and Yue'er is as helpless as Bai Feng.

When it comes to cultivation, Yue'er can guide Bai Feng, and Yue'er can also provide reference advice for Bai Feng about the development of Rome City, but if it comes to increasing income, it will be too embarrassing for Yue'er, who has not eaten fireworks in the world since she was a child.

And the only ones who can really have a more flexible mind in the entire Roman city are Yue'er and Binglan; Yue'er can't help in this regard, let alone Binglan, can Bai Feng still expect Binglan, the high priest, to increase the income of Rome City?

In fact, the income problem of the city of Rome, in the final analysis, is how to increase the income from the four aspects of agriculture, minerals, trade, and taxation; don't think about the income of agriculture and minerals, the income of agriculture is basically fixed, and it is really not cost-effective to invest money in the construction of minerals now, because the construction of the mine requires 2,000 gold, and the monthly income after completion is only 200 gold.

A one-time building that requires 2000 gold is really not acceptable to Bai Feng now, since agriculture and minerals are not good, then the rest is trade and taxes;

The geographical location of the city of Rome is the area ruled by the barbarians, and it is thousands of miles away from the southern region where the Bai family is located, Bai Feng does not think that his Roman city can trade with the Bai family;

Taxation is the key factor that directly affects the population growth rate and social security of Rome City, with the medium tax rate that Rome City now maintains, this tax will naturally increase slowly with the increase of the population of Rome City; if Bai Feng raises the tax of Rome City, it will lead to a decrease in the population growth rate of Rome City, which will reduce the tax revenue of Rome City to a certain extent.

To put it simply, all the ways that Bai Feng could think of to increase his income seemed to be undesirable, that is to say, Bai Feng couldn't think of any way to increase his income at all;

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, just after Bai Feng devoted himself to cultivation, his junior sword master Great Perfection realm finally made a new breakthrough, when the yellow spiritual power source that was originally only the size of a small fingernail absorbed the ten spiritual power beads around it, its color gradually changed from yellow to silver, and the size was the size of a pigeon's egg.

After being promoted to an intermediate sword master, Bai Feng could naturally exert a more powerful sword technique that he had already practiced very well, in fact, under Yue'er's careful training, Bai Feng could already smoothly perform the seventh style sword technique.

Among the 12 styles of sword skills on a white background, the first three styles are all beginners' practice stages, which can also be regarded as the primary level of the 12 styles, and the next 4 to 6 styles are already intermediate, and from the seventh style onwards, they are even more advanced. As for the last three forms starting with the tenth form, they can only be used with the support of the great sword master's spiritual power!
