If I am sent to lead, I will not refuse on the pretext of being young. www.biquge.info I think I'm young and strong enough to resist danger and not be harmed.

- Xenophon (ancient Greek historian and writer)

The day after that night's cultivation, Yue'er appeared in front of Bai Feng as if nothing happened, and Bai Feng was naturally happy not to mention last night's incident, but with the sudden increase in the population of Rome City, the other two things seemed unavoidable.

The first thing is the food problem in the city of Rome, from more than 3,000 people to more than 10,000 people, the original food reserves in the city of Rome are simply not enough to support the rapid consumption of the huge population, and finding new food supplies has also become a problem that Bai Feng must solve.

Without the ability to build public farms in a short period of time, it was almost impossible to solve the food crisis caused by the sudden population boom on its own, and the barbarian tribes of the wild land, who themselves were struggling to make ends meet, could not afford to solve this problem.

When Bai Feng took out this problem and discussed it with Yue'er, Yue'er gave Bai Feng a big surprise, it turned out that the shops in Rome City were not only to increase trade and increase the population growth rate, but also to buy food!

This thing sounded very mysterious, because Bai Feng didn't understand why the store could have food out of thin air, but this didn't affect Bai Feng in the slightest to buy food from the store when he was short of food, after all, the existence of Roman City itself was a very mysterious thing.

A hundred treasury funds can buy enough food for 10,000 people for a month, such a price is not too high, at least much lower than Bai Feng imagined; with the store as a place where you can buy food, the food crisis in Rome can be easily solved, and this sufficient food supply channel will play a greater role in the future!

After the first and most important thing was solved, the second thing was raised to the agenda, and that was the security of the city of Rome, which was only a population of about 3,000 people, and the army stationed in the city alone was enough to maintain the law and order of the city.

However, with the sudden increase in the population of Rome City and the dispatch of a large number of troops, the security problem of Rome City has become more prominent; in the past ten days of Bai Feng's cultivation, a total of 14 fights and brawls, 26 civil disputes, and 73 thefts have broken out in Rome City, and all these incidents that seriously affect the security of Rome City have been sent to the Doge's Palace, waiting for Bai Feng himself to solve.

Looking at the square outside the Doge's Palace full of arguing citizens of Rome, Bai Feng's heart was also 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by;

What's more, Bai Feng's time was originally limited, if he was busy dealing with these trivial affairs of Rome City all day long, would he still have time to improve his strength? Would he still have time to better develop Rome City?

However, it is not possible to solve these problems, otherwise those citizens will be blocked in the square of the Doge's Palace every day, and Bai Feng will not even be able to get out of the gate of the Doge's Palace, and these problems will accumulate more and more in the city of Rome, which will definitely lead to chaos in the city of Rome in the end.

Faced with such a dilemma, what else could Bai Feng do except ask Yue'er for help? It turned out that Yue'er had already had a way to deal with this problem, and the reason why she didn't tell Bai Feng at the beginning was purely to deliberately embarrass Bai Feng.

In fact, in the management of the city of Rome, for every 10,000 people added to the city of Rome, there could be a tax collector and a tribune, the former for the purpose of collecting the taxes and fees payable by these citizens, and the latter for dealing with trivial matters between these citizens, and these two officials were the key to solving these problems.

In order to ensure that the prestige of these two officials was recognized by the 10,000 citizens under them, Bai Feng could also recruit for them a patrol guard composed of 100 patrol militias, these so-called patrol militias were basically town militias in military uniforms, the town militia were all black and black armor in the standard configuration of the Roman city, and the patrol militia was purple and purple, which can be regarded as distinguishing between the two.

Whether it's two officials or patrol guards, they don't have to pay any fees to recruit, but the city of Rome needs to spend a hundred dollars every month to maintain their existence, which is the price that the city must pay for its development.

After these two things are resolved, Bai Feng has no other important matters to solve, and at the same time, this month is about to end; looking at the treasury funds of Rome City, Bai Feng is also eager to come next month!

After the arrival of the new month, the financial report of the previous month naturally appeared in the property table of the city of Rome, and Bai Feng of course clicked on the financial report as always, and began to carefully browse the financial situation of the city of Rome last month.
