Trying to get something, in fact, as long as you are calm and realistic, you can easily and unconsciously achieve your goal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And if you try too hard, make too much trouble, be too naïve, too inexperienced, cry, grab, pull, like a child tearing the tablecloth, the result is nothing, just tearing all the good things on the table to the ground, never get it.

- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

It is already the end of December in the southern region where peace has been restored, and Bai Feng, who is constantly troubled, rarely stays in Baifu to accompany Yue'er and Binglan to learn to cook every day, compared to the mainstream eating habits of this world, Bai Feng still prefers the food of his hometown.

The oriental-style meal method is completely different from the mainstream meal method in this world, and in order to let Yue'er and Binglan learn how to cook their favorite meals, Bai Feng has not worked hard for a while now.

Of course, it is often Bai Feng who works hard to make a table of delicious food for Yue'er and Binglan to eat, nominally Bai Feng is teaching them to cook, but in fact, it is Bai Feng who is using his cooking skills to satisfy their appetites.

The willing Bai Feng and the peaceful Yue'er and Binglan made Bai Feng's small courtyard back to its former liveliness;

Before Bai Feng left the Bai family, he promised to send Bai Han, Bai Ling'er, and Bai Rou another kite, and now that the time for Bai Feng to go to the imperial capital is getting closer and closer, he is also ready to fulfill his promise.

In the face of the upcoming New Year, the busy Bai family did not have the intention of celebrating the New Year at all; the three old men Bai Haotian, Bai Haowen, and Bai Haowu were busy cultivating, the three brothers Bai Mingcheng, Bai Mingming, and Bai Mingxing were busy recruiting new soldiers, and Bai Anjun stayed in the Rose Knights.

Until the day of the New Year, the Bai family members who hurried back to Baifu only had a reunion dinner with Bai Feng that was not reunited, and then they left Baifu to hurry;

The second day of the new year was January 1, 918 in the continental calendar, and in the past 12 months, the Roman city system once again paid for the maintenance of all the system troops, and the huge amount of expenditure was already a headache for Bai Feng!

December Financial Report (December 917 in the continental calendar)

Agriculture: income 3,600 gold, expenditure 0

Mining: income 350 gold, expenditure 0

Trade: income 81,450 gold, expenditure 0

Taxes: 20,000 gold in income and 10,800 gold in expenses (100 gold each for the tax officer, civil protection officer, and patrol guard)

Fortune: 1,100 gold (100 gold per month for each general)

Army maintenance costs: 47,780 gold

Recruitment: 98,500 gold (temple summoning generals is also included in the recruitment and special training costs)

Last month's surplus: 54,100 gold

Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 134,000 gold

There are 32 teams of Roman Light Infantry (170g), 32 Roman Youth (170g), 32 Roman Heavy Infantry (170g), 18 teams each of Roman Light Cavalry (110g) and Roman Auxiliary Cavalry (110g), 20 double-lined warships (80g), 70 triames (120g), 70 spellcasters (50g), 60 Battlefield Ghosts (100g), and 40 Shadow Killers (200g).

Every time he paid the maintenance fee, what made Bai Feng feel the most dissatisfied was that the maintenance cost of the Roman heavy infantry with strong combat effectiveness and the Roman light infantry with weak melee ability turned out to be the same;

Bai Feng, who could not change the status quo, could only turn his attention to other aspects of the financial report except for complaining, and the development of the city of Rome was still good last month, and the trade income and tax revenue have increased greatly.

If it weren't for the 4,000 horses provided to the Knights of the Rose, which consumed Bai Feng's treasury funds of 40,000 gold, even if it was necessary to pay for the maintenance of the army, the financial deficit of Rome City last month would not have been as high as more than 54,000 gold.

Fortunately, Bai Feng's assistance to the Knights of the Rose was a one-time one-time event, and there would be no need for such huge expenditures in the future; in general, Bai Feng was quite satisfied with the financial situation of the city of Rome, at least it had not fallen to the point of lack of treasury funds.

With more than 10,000 new people per month, the population of Rome has maintained a very steady growth trend, and the most direct benefit of this increasing population is more recruitment places and higher tax revenues.

In the new year and new development, the first thing Bai Feng had to do was to recruit the required system troops for Ba'ans's Third Legion and Hartmann's Fourth Legion, and thirty Roman heavy infantry (490 gold) were exactly what Bai Feng recruited in January.

These Roman heavy infantry consumed Bai Feng's treasury funds of 14,700 gold, and Bai Feng, who had no other ideas for the time being, switched the recruitment list to the shogunate palace system after deciding to recruit Roman heavy infantry.

Restoring the Shogunate's assets to 17,300 koku allowed Hakumine to continue recruiting more Shogunate troops, this time, he planned to recruit 190 priests (50 koku) and 40 spies (100 koku) at once, as well as three teams of battlefield ninjas (1,200 koku).

The Battlefield Ninja with a recruitment price of up to 1200 stone is the highest recruitment price and the largest number of characters in the Shogunate, and each team of Battlefield Ninjas is composed of twenty-four Level 4 Battlefield Ninjas, which is a terrifying combat power that is definitely worth the price!

However, the recruitment of these special people only cost Bai Feng 17,100 stone heights, and looking at the poor 200 stones in the asset column in the shogunate's attribute table, Bai Feng, who had no spirit of thrift, directly turned these 200 stones into 2 secret envoys (100 stones).

Shogunate area: Mutsu Province (1,730,000 stone)

Shogunate Assets: 0 stone

Shogunate income: 17,300 koku (1% of the ruling stone high)

Shogunate Figures (282): Priest (1st level, 200), Spy (1st level, 50), Secret Envoy (1st level, 12), Ninja (2nd level, 10), Geisha (4th level, 10)

Shogunate Army (960): Notai Sword Samurai (3rd Rank, 3rd Team), Monk Soldier (4th Rank, 5th Team)

Shogun: None

After two rounds of summoning, the shogunate system already has 282 shogunate figures, and Hakufeng's idea of deploying a priest in each brigade of all legions in Rome City can also enter the implementation stage!
