- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

After handing over the four million gold coins deposited in the eight gold cards to the Bai family's brothers and sisters, Bai Feng, who had a lot on his mind, was busy with his own affairs, and attending classes on time every day also became a part of his daily life, which was his guarantee to Sophia.

Although Bai Feng's explanation in Bai Mansion was to lie to Sophia, this does not mean that Bai Feng's guarantee to Sophia is also false; Bai Feng, who has never thought of himself as a good person, values his commitment the most.

As a king who wants to dominate the continent, a good reputation is a must for Bai Feng, so he will do his best to fulfill the promise he has made, even if it requires a certain price.

In the remaining half of February, in addition to attending classes, Bai Feng wandered around the college side by side with his three roommates every day; occasionally meeting Diana or Li Jiancheng and others, Bai Feng, who was idle and had nothing to do, would always invite them to play together.

Whether it was Li Jiancheng and the others who came from the south together, or Diana, who was noble, they would not refuse Bai Feng's invitation, so that everyone's relationship became better and better in the academy, and they would take care of each other in everything.

The past February quickly became a part of history, and with the arrival of March, Bai Feng had to start busy with the affairs of the system again, and in order to deal with the affairs of the system wholeheartedly, Bai Feng specially asked Sophia for a few days off.

Asking for leave is not going to class because the teacher is allowed, and absenteeism is not allowed by the teacher not to go to class; Bai Feng, who promised Sophia not to be absent from class, did not say that he would not ask for leave. Regarding Bai Feng's leave, Sophia approved it as a matter of course.

In the early morning of the first day of March, Bai Feng, who had no sleep, opened the financial report the moment it appeared.

The last month's expenditures in the city of Rome consisted mainly of two parts, one was the cost of recruiting thirty units of the system, and the other was the tax expenditure of the eighteen direct towns and the city of Rome, which was inevitable as the population of the city of Rome grew.

Compared to the growth rate of tax revenue and trade income in Rome, the growth rate of tax expenditure is still acceptable, and after two months of accumulation, the remaining treasury of Rome has exceeded 200,000 gold!

With a monthly increase of nearly 15,000 people, the city of Rome can increase the number of systematic army recruits by more than 2,000 per month, which gives Bai Feng enough places to recruit system troops to supplement the establishment of the Third and Fourth Legions.

In the new March, Bai Feng recruited 22 teams of Roman youth army (440 gold) and 8 teams of Roman auxiliary cavalry (470 gold), and these 30 teams of systematic army cost Bai Feng 13,440 gold of treasury funds, but brought him more than 4,000 system soldiers.

After confirming the recruitment of the army of the Roman city system, Bai Feng began to recruit troops of the shogunate system again, and Bai Feng, who felt the pressure of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, had decided to start rebuilding the intelligence organization of the city of Rome this month, the Tragic Dead.

The number of spies, secret envoys, ninjas, and geisha needed to reorganize the intelligence organization is still seriously insufficient, but fortunately, the intelligence organization is slowly developed from the bottom up; Bai Feng can give priority to the number of spies and secret envoys, and the needs of ninjas and geisha are not so urgent.

The stone height of 17,300 stone is still relatively sufficient for recruiting spies and secret envoys, at least the recruitment price of these two shogunate characters is extremely low, and more spies and secret envoys can be recruited with the stone height of recruiting ninjas and geishas.

After a moment's consideration, Hakumine decided to recruit fifty spies (100 stones) and twenty secret envoys (100 stones), as well as thirty ninjas (200 stones) and two geisha (500 stones), all of whom cost him a total of 14,000 stones.

The remaining 3,300 stones, Bai Feng, who had long wanted to recruit battlefield ninjas, directly recruited two teams of battlefield ninjas (1,200 stones) this time, and the fourth-level battlefield ninjas, composed of twenty-four battle ninjas, were the only characters in the shogunate who used the team as the recruiting unit.

For the last 900 stones, Bai Feng recruited eighteen priests (50 stones) without even thinking about it, as the healing system characters that have always been scarce in Roman City, their number is still far from the needs of Roman City, and their recruitment is very necessary.

After recruiting the shogunate characters of the shogunate system, he used the teleportation array to return to Bai Feng in Rome City at night, and let Bai Yi and Wen Ke lead the Germanic berserkers to guard the perimeter of Bai Fu, Yue'er continued to be responsible for activating the teleportation array, and Binglan returned to Rome City with Bai Feng.

Because of his return to Rome this time, Bai Feng not only had to bring spies, secret envoys, ninjas, geisha, and battlefield ninjas to Baifu, but also asked Binglan to help him hold a summoning ceremony, and this month, it has been three months since the last time two teams of special troops were summoned.

Moreover, Bai Feng needs to ask Binglan to help him summon two teams of Germanic berserkers and attach hidden magic to the spatial ring, and only one team of Germanic berserkers can be used, which makes Bai Feng feel deeply stretched, and he plans to summon two more teams of Germanic berserkers to deploy in Baifu.

In the past, the designated summoning required Bai Feng to sacrifice the idol as a price, but fortunately, after the upgrade of the Great Temple of Apollo, this kind of obviously pitting people does not exist;
