Shallow knowledge makes a man proud, and abundant knowledge makes a man humble, so the hollow straw haughtily lifts its head to the sky, while the full ear bows its head to the earth, to his mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It cost 2,350 gold to recruit five Roman youth troops and a town militia, and another 3,150 gold to recruit seven double battleships, which alone is 5,500 gold in the treasury, and Bai Feng also has 2,000 gold to buy food every month.

After returning from a trip to the Doge's Palace, the treasury of Rome was only 3,100 gold, and at least there were enough gold and silver coins in the storehouse of Rome this month, enough for Bai Feng to pay all the troops in Rome this month.

Last month, Bai Feng had paid a total of 535,000 silver coins, and this month was more than that, and the newly formed towns of Hobulo and Vasco brought new income to the city of Rome, as well as new expenditures.

The formation of the 4th and 5th Tuntian legions also increased the monthly military expenses of the city of Rome by 60,000 silver coins, and in this way, the military expenses that the city of Rome needed to pay this month reached a new high, totaling 541,000 silver coins.

The arrival of the new month added 100,000 silver coins and 10,000 gold coins to the storehouses of the city of Rome, plus the remaining 100,000 silver coins and 59,500 gold coins, and the total amount of money in the storehouses of the city of Rome was 895,000, and there were 354,000 silver coins left after the payment of the month's military salary.

The combined surplus of the treasury funds and the actual gold and silver coins greatly alleviated the financial crisis of the city of Rome, and Bai Feng was finally able to come up with enough funds to develop the city of Rome; at this time, there were only three buildings left in the city that had not yet been built.

The deep cave mine with a cost of up to 3,500 gold is still not something that can be built in Rome at this stage, and the rest of the training ground and sewage canal are not a problem; Bai Feng, who has made up his mind to build these at once, has no intention of wasting any more time, he is going to take out six more statues of gods to sacrifice to the temple of Apollo, the main thing is to build these two buildings in an instant, and by the way, add some population to the city of Rome.

After coming to the Apollo Temple with the six statues, Bai Feng found that it was already noon at this time, and the high priest of Binglan was also having lunch alone in the backyard of the Apollo Temple.

Bai Feng, who has been very lonely since he was a child, is most afraid of eating alone, in other words, Bai Feng is a lonely patient who can endure loneliness, but the loneliness of eating alone with him every day is the last thing he wants to face.

Now that he saw High Priest Binglan sitting alone in the gazebo and eating without a bite, he felt as if he had found his original self, and his heart was full of sadness and discomfort, so he walked over without thinking about it.

"Binglan, I've been busy this morning, and I haven't eaten yet, you just happen to be eating, don't you mind if I come to you for a meal?" Bai Feng forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart, and pretended to be casual and greeted the high priest Binglan.

"It's better to be busy, you see that I have been alone in the temple all day and have nothing to do, and I can't even find anyone to talk to; Alas, ......" High Priest Binglan did not answer Bai Feng's deliberate search for a topic, but instead looked a little lonely and self-pitying.

Well, Bai Feng, who was already sad about the life of the High Priest of Binglan, heard such a complaint from the High Priest of Binglan, his heart became even more uncomfortable, and the silent Bai Feng did not say anything more, but sat down quietly to eat with her.

Complaining is complaining, with Bai Feng's company, High Priest Binglan's eating mood is obviously much better than before, at least she is no longer eating without a mouthful, but concentrating on lunch with Bai Feng.

A lunch ate Bai Feng's time for more than half an hour, but Bai Feng still felt that it was worth it, because this half an hour of effort made Bai Feng feel relieved from the bottom of his heart;

"Binglan, you said how lonely you are living alone in the temple every day, otherwise you would have moved to the Governor's Mansion with me, and there are still people there to talk to you every day, so that you will not always be alone!"

"Alas, Bai Feng, it's not that I don't want to go to the Doge's Palace with you, it's just that the temple can't do without me here, and when the city of Rome enters the city stage, our Apollo Temple will also become a great temple, and I can often visit your Doge's Palace at that time. ”

Listening to the helpless explanation on the face of the High Priest of Binglan, Bai Feng felt the desire of the High Priest of Binglan for the Governor's Mansion, however, what made Bai Feng feel incomprehensible was why the High Priest of Binglan had to wait until the temple became a great temple before he could go out?

"Binglan, why do you have to go out after the Apollo Temple has been expanded into a Great Temple? Is there something hidden in this?" Bai Feng, who couldn't help but be curious in his heart, just hesitated for less than five seconds before asking this question.

In the face of Bai Feng's curiosity and questions, High Priest Binglan did not answer Bai Feng immediately, but stood up from the pavilion, looked in the direction of the main hall of the Apollo Temple with sad eyes, and was silent for a long time before explaining to Bai Feng in an extremely vicissitudes of tone:

"Bai Feng, I am the high priest of the temple of Apollo, and I am also the one who controls this temple of Apollo, but my control is carried out with the permission of Apollo, and I must pay more for my own gain.

Until the Temple of Apollo is expanded to the Temple of Apollo, I must stay in the temple and take care of all the affairs of the temple, and when I enter the stage of the temple, this new temple will have a strong ability to protect itself.

What's more, there is not only one high priest of the Great Temple, in addition to me, there will be three new High Priests, and with their presence, I can walk out of the temple as I like!"

"Three new high priests?!" Bai Feng's attention was instantly drawn to this astonishing fact, knowing that the Temple of Apollo was one of the most important buildings in the city of Rome now, and it played a vital role in promoting the development of the city of Rome.

If the three newly created high priests no longer think about the city of Rome like the high priest of Binglan, wouldn't that mean that the development of the city of Rome will be constrained by the temple? As if sensing what Bai Feng was thinking, the high priest of Binglan explained with a smile:

"Bai Feng, don't worry, these three new high priests will not change the relationship between our temple and the city of Rome;

It's just that their minds aren't as independent as I am! I mean, they'll do what you need them to do, and they won't do anything more, and they don't have a life limit. ”
