After the commanders of the three Tuntian Legions were appointed, this February was also coming to an end, and the training of each legion had already been formalized, and there was no need for Bai Feng to spend more time and energy on them.

The armor shop under construction will be completed by the end of early March, when a new round of refitting of the legions in Rome will officially begin, which will also mean that the overall combat strength of the Roman army will be at a higher level.

All front-line field regiments will complete the refitting within 10 months after the armor is laid, and each regiment that replaces with new weapons and equipment will transfer their original weapons and equipment to the Tuntian Legion for reequipment.

In this way, this rearmament will completely change the combat effectiveness of all armies in the city of Rome, whether it is a field legion with strong combat effectiveness or a tuntian legion as a reserve, it will be replaced with more sophisticated weapons and equipment.

As for the weapons and equipment that have been obsolete, the intact ones will be stored as a reserve of military resources for the city of Rome, and the others that have no further use value will be smelted and cast into the agricultural tools urgently needed by the towns.

Regarding the handling of weapons and equipment, Bai Feng handed over the matter to Vipsani after reaching a consensus after negotiating with Vipsani, and once the change of clothes officially began, Wipsani's work would soon become even busier.

Even with Vipsani helping him share most of the government affairs, Bai Feng still did not become a hands-off shopkeeper, in addition to the military affairs that Bai Feng needed to handle personally, the control of the Roman city system was also something that Bai Feng had to do himself.

The busy and fulfilling February had finally passed, and Bai Feng, who had returned to the Governor's Residence, seemed to have no sense of the strange atmosphere between Yue'er and High Priest Binglan, and the scene of the two talking happily always made Bai Feng feel unbelievable.

Perhaps it was the reason why he had not returned to the governor's mansion for more than ten days, and the dusty Bai Feng was greeted by the two women; the flattered Bai Feng's face was full of disbelief, but in the end he didn't say anything, just pretended to be calm and accepted their concern.

In any case, the harmonious atmosphere still made Bai Feng feel sincerely happy, and that night, Bai Feng, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to invite the two girls to dinner, and he personally cooked a delicious dinner for the two girls.

Bai Feng, who hadn't been so happy for a long time, even drank some red wine with Yue'er at the dinner table, but the smiling High Priest Binglan just chewed and ate the food made by Bai Feng slowly from beginning to end, without drinking a drop of red wine.

The dinner of the three of them lasted for more than two hours before it ended, and Bai Feng, who was satisfied, returned to his room with a heavy drunkenness; what he didn't know was that the moment he left, Yue'er, who was originally smiling, immediately restrained his smile.

When the drunken Bai Feng returned to his room, he fell asleep until the next morning, when he was woken up by the horns of the soldiers of the Guards Battalion stationed in the governor's residence, and this new day was the first day of March!

The extremely clear financial report proves the fact that without the support of Bai Feng's gold coins regardless of the cost, the monthly income of the city of Rome has plummeted in an instant, and the total income of less than 40,000 gold has made Bai Feng, who was still hopeful, show a helpless wry smile.

However, the current income situation of the city of Rome is still quite satisfactory to Bai Feng, and the tax revenue of nearly 30,000 gold has become the pillar income of the city of Rome, and in a short period of time, such income is more than enough for the development of the city of Rome.

The population bonus brought by the Temple of Apollo to the city of Rome, combined with the population growth rate of the city itself, will now increase the population of Rome by at least 5,000 per month, and the increase in the population of 5,000 will bring 750 troops to Bai Feng.

At this time, the city of Rome, after more than a year of hard work and development by Bai Feng, has finally entered a virtuous circle; as long as Bai Feng can firmly grasp the development direction of the city of Rome, the future city of Rome will definitely become stronger and stronger!

Of course, the city attribute table of Rome City not only reflects the population growth rate of Rome City, but also the development status of the six towns directly under Rome City, which also makes Bai Feng feel gratified.

The system of the city of Rome generally evaluates the towns directly under it in four levels, namely poor, normal, rich, and powerful, although Bai Feng does not know the specific criteria for judging these four levels, but it does not affect his general understanding of these four levels.

With the support of the Doge's Palace, none of the six towns directly under the city of Rome were now judged to be poor by the system, especially the town of Tasia, which was closest to the city of Rome, which developed rapidly and entered the stage of affluence.

The development of the town directly under the city has also played an extremely important role in promoting the development of the city of Rome, otherwise how could the tax revenue of the city of Rome be as high as more than 27,000 gold? Such a virtuous circle has made Bai Feng's mentality of developing the town directly under it and its affiliated forces more positive.

With the completion and operation of the port of Aceni, the city of Rome's control over the west bank of the Cangluo River will be more secure, and the construction of a road connecting the city of Rome and the kingdom of Aceni as soon as possible has become the top priority that Bai Feng needs to implement in the next step.
