After the arrival of the new month, the treasury funds of the city of Rome immediately changed from the original almost empty to 7,500 gold, but the existence time of this 7,500 gold is simply negligible, who makes Bai Feng need to do too much this month!

Before the harvest in November, the city of Rome needed to spend at least 2,000 gold of money from the treasury every month to buy enough food from the market to feed 200,000 people for a month, so as to ensure the survival of the three towns directly belonging to the city and the Estheni tribe.

In addition, the expenditure on military salaries made Bai Feng have to take out 1,000 gold of treasury funds to buy gold coins, so he ran to the market, and Bai Feng watched the treasury funds of Rome City plummet to 4,500 gold.

But is this the end of it? The 12 Young Men of the First Legion, which had suffered more than 300 casualties in the battle with the Essini tribe army last month, had been reorganized and restored in the city of Rome, and later suffered even heavier losses in the battle with the enemy forces of the Eastern Alliance, and at that time Bai Feng did not have the treasury funds to reorganize and restore the young army.

This delay has dragged on until this month, and now it is time to pay off the debt, and the twelve young Roman soldiers, who have lost 697 killed in battle, will have to pay the price of 1,917 gold in the treasury for their reorganization!

No matter what the purpose was, Bai Feng had to endure the pain of reorganizing the twelve teams of young soldiers and soldiers back to full strength, and after these three successive necessary expenses were spent, the available treasury funds of the city of Rome were only a pitiful 2,583 gold.

At present, there are only four buildings left in the city of Rome that have not yet been built, namely the training ground that takes 1,200 gold and a month to build, the port and sewer that takes 800 gold and twenty days to build, and the deep cave mine that takes 3,500 gold and a month to build.

The first three Bai Feng can still be considered, and the last one is not directly Bai Feng's consideration; with the current situation of Rome City at this time, giving priority to the construction of the port is a matter in Bai Feng's plan, but how to repair it is worth Bai Feng's consideration.

Rome had enough money to build two of the three buildings except the Cavern Mines, but the purpose of White Peak's plan to prioritize the construction of the harbor was not to increase the trade fleet, but to recruit double warships to form the city's naval fleet.

Of course, given the geographical location of the city of Rome, the so-called naval fleet was nothing more than an inland naval army, and even so, the significance of this naval army was extraordinary, and it could even become the water defense line of the city of Rome!

The existence of the Cangluo River completely cut off the power of the city of Rome from the eastern alliance north of the Cangluo River, and the eastern alliance, which was stronger than the city of Rome, had to cross the turbulent Cangluo River if it wanted to invade the sphere of influence of the city of Rome in the south.

Everyone knows that the barbarian forces are backward in shipbuilding technology, and the wooden boats they used to cross the Cangluo River are just small sampans in front of the Roman warships; everyone's design concept is completely different, the double warships of the Roman city are used to cross the Mediterranean Sea with high winds and waves, and the small wooden boats of the barbarians are only used to cross the Cangluo River.

Therefore, as long as the port of Rome City is built, recruiting a certain number of double warships has become Bai Feng's new goal, but the recruitment cost of each double battleship is as high as 450 gold, and the city of Rome can only recruit a maximum of three double warships after the port is built.

There is a problem here that makes Bai Feng entangled, that is, whether the god statue should be sacrificed to promote the construction of the port; in Bai Feng's opinion, anyway, the building that can be built with the funds of the Roman city this month is probably the port building.

It only takes twenty days to build a port in a month, which is more than enough, Bai Feng doesn't seem to have to think about the sacrifice of the god to promote the immediate completion of the port, but Bai Feng always feels that it is not right, and the city of Rome should repair the port as soon as possible.

Bai Feng, who had struggled for more than two hours and still made a decision, did not hesitate to run to the temple of Apollo with two idols after receiving an urgent message from Nelson's cavalry, not only to build the port immediately, but also to ask the high priest of Binglan to help him summon a team of Spartan heavy infantry again.

It turned out that when Nelson was leading the cavalry to patrol along the banks of the Cangluo River, he suddenly discovered a small reconnaissance force of the Eastern Alliance moving south; the scale of this reconnaissance force was not large, only more than 30 people, but the information that was reflected could not help but Bai Feng did not pay attention to it.

Now that the Eastern Alliance on the north shore is already sending a small reconnaissance force to the south bank, will their large-scale attack be far away? Bai Feng, who felt threatened, felt that he couldn't wait for the construction time of the port, and he had to recruit double battleships immediately!

As for the summoning of the Spartan heavy infantry, it was out of helplessness for the slow improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion, and it was difficult to take into account the more than 4,000 pikemen of the Cheetah Legion just by relying on the teaching of a team of Spartan heavy infantry.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion as soon as possible, Bai Feng could only summon another team of Spartan heavy infantry to help the Cheetah Legion; as long as the Macedonian phalanx of the Cheetah Legion could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Bai Feng felt that all his efforts were worth it.

Hurrying to the Temple of Apollo, Bai Feng didn't even have time to explain anything to the High Priest of Binglan, so he handed over the two idols to the High Priest of Binglan, asked her to start the sacrifice immediately, and told her in detail about his request.

The port that had just started construction today appeared in an instant on the banks of the Cangluo River in the east of the city of Rome, and another group of Spartan heavy infantry also appeared at the gate of the temple of Apollo.

This team of Spartan heavy infantry was also sent by Bai Feng to the camp of the Cheetah Legion, and Gatus, who had already seen the power of the Spartan heavy infantry, did not need Bai Feng's advice this time; after returning to the Doge's Palace, Bai Feng hurriedly opened the recruitment table of Rome City, and ordered three double-column battleships with a recruitment cost of 450 gold in succession, but fortunately, the recruitment cycle of double-column battleships was only one day.

A normal twin battleship has eighty crew members in itself, and these eighty crew members are not only the sailors of this twin battleship, but also the combat strength of this twin battleship, but Bai Feng still feels that the combat strength on the twin battleship is too weak.

In order to enhance the combat strength of the twin battleships, Bai Feng deliberately transferred 300 longbowmen from the 3,000 longbowmen directly under the Governor's Palace, and added 100 Leng Huai longbowmen with a range of up to 400 meters to each upcoming double-column battleship.

Because the construction of a port of this level will establish an automatically generated trade fleet for the city of Rome, Bai Feng decided to personally take all 3,000 longbowmen to the eastern port tomorrow to see what this trade fleet is like!
