"Chapter 44: Increased Income"
From philosophy, I have at least learned to be prepared for all kinds of fate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
- Diogenes (ancient Greek Cynic philosopher)
After Bai Feng dealt with the affairs of the Tassia tribe and the high priest of Binglan, there was nothing else at hand for the time being, the only thing he could do every day was to cultivate spiritual power and sword skills, and occasionally took Yue'er and the archers out to hunt even if it was relaxing.
The Parthian archers were quite effective in combat, and with their own first-class experience, few beasts could escape under the circular cavalry formation of the archers, and they officially became the mobile force of the city of Rome.
Frankly speaking, there is a difference between the special army recruited from the temple and the army recruited by the city of Rome itself, and the advantages of the temple recruitment as a special army are obvious, firstly, because they have first-class experience at the beginning, and secondly, they do not occupy the city of Rome with an army that is dangerous.
But this does not mean that the army recruited by the temple is necessarily better than the army recruited by the city of Rome, and the most frustrating part of the army recruited by the temple is their uniform, and the Cretan archers are in green uniforms, the Parthian archers are in purple uniforms, and the army recruited by the city of Rome is all black, which makes the difference between the two too great.
If you include the mercenary warriors in gray uniforms, then the army of Rome is also considered to be varied, and the military uniforms of the mercenary warriors are provided by the city of Rome, but also take into account the habits of the barbarian warriors.
What's more, the difference between gray and black is not very large, and it can be regarded as the mark used by the white peak to distinguish the native army of Rome from the mercenary soldiers, but the green Cretan archers and the purple Parthian archers are more awkward, they are essentially the army of Rome, but the difference in military uniforms makes it difficult to classify them together!
Since ancient times, military uniforms have been an important symbol to distinguish the affiliation of an army, and with the existence of the temple, Bai Feng feels that sooner or later his Roman army will become a real colorful army, and it will really make people laugh and cry at that time.
Of course, this is not without benefits, at least the difference in military uniforms can also hide the identity of the special troops summoned by the temple, who would have thought that they would be the army of the Roman city in black clothes and black armor?
The twelve statues of the gods took at least a month or so to be carved, which was the fastest way that all the carvers in the city of Rome could gather, and the road between the city and the tribe of Tasia was still under construction, and it would not be repaired in two months.
After Bai Feng spent twenty days in Rome, the shop was built, but unfortunately, Bai Feng only had 1,195 gold left in the treasury of Rome, and the only building that could be built was a mine that needed 2,000 gold.
It stands to reason that the population of Rome has already exceeded 3,000, and the city should be able to build the Doge's Palace, which is the key building for the development from a town to a large town, but there are still only a few mines in the building slots of Rome.
The explanation for this Yue'er is that the city of Rome cannot be developed into the next stage of the big towns until all the town stage buildings have been completed, and that the Doge's Palace can be built after the construction of the last mine is completed.
After Yue'er's explanation, Bai Feng, who was suffering from the scarcity of funds in the treasury, could only cultivate his spiritual power; fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Bai Feng finally became a second-level intermediate swordsman the day before the end of this month!
On the second day after reaching the realm of a second-level intermediate swordsman, a new month came, and the treasury of Rome City once again had more than four thousand funds;
March Financial Report (March 916 AH)

Last month's surplus: income 1600 gold
Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 2,695 gold
Current Treasury Total: 4,295 gold
The main income of the city of Rome is now agricultural income and tax income and trade income, with the construction of arable land, agricultural income doubled, and the increase in population led to tax revenue, which was extremely beneficial for the development of the city of Rome.
The fastest growth was still in the trade income of the city of Rome, although the road between the city of Rome and the tribe of Tasia had not yet been built, but the scale of trade between the two sides also began to increase significantly.
You must know that the increase in the loyalty of the Tassia tribe to the city of Rome not only means that the tribe of Tasia is more loyal to the city of Rome, but also means that the people of the tribe of Tasia trust the city of Rome more and are more willing to trade with the city of Rome in all aspects.
Bai Feng believed that after the road between the city of Rome and the Tasia tribe was built, the trade income of the city of Rome could be further increased, but this increase was also extremely limited, after all, the market of the entire Tasia tribe was only so large.
Whether it is for the development of trade in the city of Rome or the need to obtain more idols with the power of faith, Bai Feng needs to get in touch with more barbarian tribes and establish friendly alliances, which is the best way for the city to develop rapidly.
Every time he checked the financial report, Bai Feng would habitually check the city attributes of Rome City, and this time it was naturally no exception, Bai Feng still clicked on the city attribute table of Rome City as usual.
City of Rome (Town)

Income: 3250 gold/month
Population: 3,844 (the temple adds 500 people per month)

Buildable Building: Mines
The clear and clear city attribute table allowed Bai Feng to control all the situation in Rome City in his own hands, with the current state of the treasury funds of Rome City, Bai Feng naturally hurriedly clicked to build a mine, and after an instant, the treasury funds of Rome City plummeted to 2295 gold.
