A man's mission is to make him who he is, to be a real person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

Busy days always pass quickly, and Bai Feng, who learned the value of the treasures of the Yamato Empire, also deliberately took the time to go to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and took out some of the treasures of the Yamato Empire in the White Spirit Ring and handed them to Mr. Duke, so that he could sell them on his behalf.

This time, Mr. Duke did not sacrifice the interests of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, but proposed that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce directly buy the treasures in Bai Feng's hands;

The courtesy of the nobles' Fuso treasures at the Eight Princes' private banquets proved the value of the treasures of the Yamato Empire, and the Westminster Chamber of Commerce did not deliberately lower the price in this regard, but gave a fairly reasonable purchase price.

The sale of this batch of Fusang treasures made the gold coins in Bai Feng's gold card reach 85 million again, but Bai Feng himself knew that this was already the highest price that Fusang treasures could sell, and it was almost impossible to sell them at such a high price in the future.

After all, the market in the imperial capital is limited, and only a few nobles can really spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins to buy Fusang treasures; with the sale of two batches of Fusang treasures in succession, the price of Fusang treasures will inevitably drop accordingly in the future.

Bai Feng did not plan to invest more money in the Tragic Song Dead until there was no suitable person to command the Tragic Song Dead, so these gold coins were temporarily stored in Bai Feng's gold card and were not spent by Bai Feng.

On the last day of March, after taking Sophia's deduction class, Bai Feng applied for a leave of absence from Sophia as usual, and although Sophia didn't know why Bai Feng applied for leave on the last day of each month, she still approved Bai Feng's application.

The treasury of Rome is growing more and more every month, but the funds that need to be spent each month are extremely limited, and as a result, the accumulated treasury funds are also increasing, so much that Bai Feng has almost no good way to spend these treasury funds.

In the past, the reason why Bai Feng urgently needed a large amount of treasury funds was because of the special training of barbarian soldiers on the one hand, and the high cost of war horses for the formation of cavalry on the other hand; now that there is no need to spend on these two aspects, the treasury funds will naturally be surplus.

In the new April, Bai Feng continued to recruit soldiers for the full strength of the Third and Fourth Legions, and this time, Bai Feng recruited ten teams of Roman auxiliary cavalry (470 gold) and twenty teams of Roman light infantry (270 gold), for a total of 10,100 gold.

After the army of the Roman city system was recruited, Bai Feng began to recruit shogunate troops and shogunate figures, and after some careful consideration, Bai Feng decided to recruit seven teams of Notai sword warriors (600 stones) and ten captains of spear warriors (400 stones).

In the past, when Bai Feng recruited shogunate figures, he was recruited based on the number of individual characters, but this time Bai Feng planned to recruit according to the model of the group; for example, if he wanted to recruit twenty spies, he would directly recruit four reconnaissance teams.

The recruitment cost of a reconnaissance team consisting of five spies and one ninja is 700 koku per team, the recruitment cost of a training group of five emissaries and two ninjas is 900 koku per team, and the recruitment cost of a combat team consisting of a single team of battlefield ninjas is 1,200 koku.

After a little thought, Bai Feng recruited five reconnaissance teams and five training teams, and in the end, Bai Feng recruited twenty-two priests for the remaining 1,100 stones, which he used to expand the number of priests in the city of Rome.

The newly recruited five reconnaissance teams and five training teams were taken to Baifu by Bai Feng in the early morning of 1 March using a teleportation array; early the next morning, the five reconnaissance teams secretly stationed in the shops and residences of the tragic dead in the imperial capital, and the five training teams secretly went out of the city and entered the manor outside the imperial capital.

In just one month, the reconnaissance force under the command of the Tragic Song Dead Soldier was expanded by one-sixth, and the training force was expanded by one-half; after the expansion, the Tragic Dead Soldier had 35 reconnaissance groups and 15 training groups.

The reconnaissance team's intelligence mission has not yet been officially carried out, and they have been carrying out their plan to integrate into the imperial capital for a whole month, but the training teams are on the right track to train spies and agents.

Not counting the five new training groups, the original ten training teams are now training an average of twenty spies and four agents per team, for a total of 200 trained spies and 40 trained agents, all from within the Bai family.

The Bai family is one of the marquis families of the empire, and it is reasonable that there are some industries in the imperial capital, and the subordinate servants who are responsible for taking care of these industries have become the targets of the selection of spies and agents by the tragic dead soldiers.

Originally, Bai Feng wanted to buy some high-quality slaves to serve as spies and agents, but the status of the slaves determined that they could not be recognized by the empire, so Bai Feng had to retreat to the next best and choose the Bai family's subordinates and servants, and let them serve as the peripheral personnel of the tragic dead man.

The qualified performance of the servants of the Bai family proves that Bai Feng's decision is correct, but their number greatly limits the growth rate of the peripheral personnel of the Tragic Song Dead, which can be regarded as a gain and loss for Bai Feng.

After dealing with the affairs of the two systems, Bai Feng hurriedly returned to the Imperial Academy; it was not that he didn't want to stay with the four girls at home in the White Mansion for a few more days, but there was a major event in the Imperial Academy that forced him to go back!
