It has been a new month since he returned to Rome City, so he naturally routinely clicked on the financial report of Rome City last month, and the steady income growth has made the treasury of Rome more and more funds, and it has reached the point that Bai Feng can't spend it.

There is no way to do this, the time of each month is only thirty days, even under the premise that the population of Rome City is large enough, Bai Feng can only recruit thirty troops per month, and the treasury funds that can be consumed are quite limited.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Bai Feng has developed from worrying about the lack of treasury funds at the beginning to worrying about the lack of treasury funds at this time; last month, Bai Feng recruited three warships and battlefield ghosts in order to spend as much treasury funds as possible.

This month, is it still necessary to put the limited thirty recruitment slots on the three columns of battleships and battlefield ghosts? Bai Feng, who was slightly hesitant, did not rush to make a decision, but first checked the current attributes of the city of Rome.

Rome City (City)

Governor: White Peak

Income: 42,850 gold/month

Population growth: +5%/month

The attribute table of Rome City, which has hardly changed much, reminded Bai Feng of another thing: since the treasury of Rome City is sufficient for the time being, can the population growth rate of Rome City be increased by adjusting the tax rate of Rome City?

You must know that when the Roman Total War was played, the tax rate of a city was directly linked to the social security and population growth of the city; an excessively high tax rate would bring about a decline in social security and population growth, while an excessively low tax rate would be the opposite.

In order to test his idea, Bai Feng immediately adjusted the middle tax rate of Rome City to a low tax rate, and sure enough, the tax rate here has just been adjusted, and the social security and population growth of Rome City over there have also undergone new changes!

Social Security: +200%

Population growth: +7%/month

Tax Rate: Low tax rate

The basic tax rate of the city of Rome changed from the medium tax rate to the low tax rate, and the direct impact was that the social security situation in the city of Rome increased by 15 percent, and the population growth rate also increased by 2 percent.

Up to now, the city of Rome has less than 10,000 gold in tax revenue every month, while the trade income has exceeded the 30,000 gold mark, and from this point of view, the trade income has undoubtedly become the backbone of the city's income.

From the medium tax rate to the low tax rate, even if it reduces the tax revenue of the city of Rome by half, it is still worth it in Bai Feng's opinion, because this decrease in income of less than 5,000 gold will bring about an increase in population of at least 1,200!

Based on the city's population base at this time, an additional population growth rate of 2 percent per month would bring an additional 1,300 people to the city, and more importantly, this number would increase with the total population of Rome.

Compared with the decrease in tax revenue, the increase in population undoubtedly made Bai Feng more excited, so this experimental adjustment was turned into a formal adjustment by Bai Feng, and the changes brought about by the new attributes of the city of Rome will soon be shown in the new month!

After the matter about the attributes of Rome City came to an end, Bai Feng was ready to go to Yue'er's room to discuss with her about the future development direction of Rome City;

Especially the problem of the treasury funds of the city of Rome, how to spend the excess treasury funds, this is a big problem; this is not to say that Bai Feng is a loser who can't save money, but he is more willing to turn these funds into the strong strength of the city of Rome.

The high priest of Binglan, who moved away from the Great Temple of Apollo, needs to return to the temple on the first day of each month to preside over the temple sacrifice of that month, which also happens to give Bai Feng and Yue'er the opportunity to be alone, so that Bai Feng can talk to Yue'er about things without any worries.

Standing at the window of Yue'er's room and looking into the backyard, Bai Feng found Yue'er enjoying flowers and tasting wine in the backyard pavilion of the governor's mansion.

April is the season of spring flowers, the warm sun is sprinkled in the pavilion of the backyard, the flowers are in full bloom, so that the originally quiet backyard becomes fragrant and refreshing; stepping on the charming fragrance, Bai Feng came to the pavilion where the moon is located.

Bai Feng, who hadn't been alone with Yue'er for a long time, didn't directly talk to Yue'er about the problems of Rome, but sat quietly opposite Yue'er, poured himself a glass of mellow red wine, and leaned back slightly in a comfortable posture.

"Yo, how can our Grand Governor have time to bask in the backyard today?

"Hey, Vipsani is so capable, I have given him all the things that are suitable for him in the city of Rome, which is called knowing people and making good use of them! Also, why do I have nothing to do? I have so many things to do every day, I am not here to accompany you today. ”

Bai Feng, who was going to make a slippery tone, helplessly found that Yue'er's eyes were full of disbelief and doubt, such a scene was embarrassing, fortunately, Bai Feng's face was thick enough, so he could resist Yue'er's eyes full of suspicion!
