Chapter 6: Development of arable land (Part 2)!

Walking slowly into the Governor's Office, the *** officer reported to Murphy about his trade income in the past two months.

Because of the end of the gnoll slave trade, the trade income in the territory suddenly decreased by a large period. However, this was not surprising as Murphy expected. The gnoll slave trade was a temporary matter and could not be too long. When the human city-state was training troops to counterattack the gnolls, the slave traders keenly felt that the slave trade, which had been hot for several months, was becoming cold.

Gnolls are cruel by nature and are not suitable for taming as slaves.

In fact, after the World War Canyon, the captured adult gnolls were basically executed.

The nobles' parliament basically agreed on this. They did not want these gnolls to cause any trouble in human territory. The best way to deal with the enemy is to turn them all into dead people.

"How many silver coins are there in the treasury?" Although there is also a sum of gold in the treasury, because the world is still accustomed to using silver as a currency unit, Murphy has always used silver coins to count the value. The income from trade has been acceptable, and there is no problem in maintaining the basic operation of the territory. The amount of money obtained through trade with centaurs and selling land has basically not been used much, and there should be a lot of them.

"There are about 60,000 silver coins in the national treasury." Official *** flipped through the notebook in his hand and said quickly.

There are still 60,000 silver coins?

Murphy nodded when he heard this. Before going to the canyon, he mobilized silver coins to buy a batch of supplies from the rear of the southern plains. Now there is still a balance of 60,000 silver coins, which is much more than he estimates.

"Give 20,000 silver coins to the high priest, and let her prepare to expand the temple by herself." Murphy thought for a while, and then said, "Give 10,000 silver coins to the Chief Priest of the God of War, and let him rebuild the Temple of War."

"Yes." Official *** replied.

The auxiliary system of "Total War" commands and counts the silver coins consumed by the building's manpower, and other consumption such as materials must be estimated by Murphy. This is true whether it is building a building or recruiting an army. The auxiliary system will count the basic expenses for recruiting an army, but the consumption in equipment needs to be prepared by Murphy. Either let citizens spend money to purchase equipment themselves, or Murphy prepares the unified equipment.

Since Athenian cities have always been in a state of high centralization, Murphy personally controls all arrangements.

In terms of military affairs, Murphy is more inclined to provide unified equipment by the territory and move towards a professional army. After all, most of the wealth in the territory is dominated by him, and there is no problem of economic shortage.

After nearly three months of accumulation, the faith accumulated by the goddess of wisdom Athena finally exceeded five figures, and the temple page in the auxiliary system of "Total War" also shows that the temple can be further expanded. Since the temple is planned to expand, the temple of the God of War Kratos will inevitably be expanded together. This is a disguised balance. Murphy does not intend to let one party appear between the temples overwhelm the other. Another more important reason is that the priest of the God of War Kratos can now be said to be the main combat force in the city of Athens.

Murphy can't be too cold to them.

The expansion of the temple actually does not cost much silver coins at all, and the human consumption territory can be fully afforded. The reason why we have to mobilize nearly 30,000 silver coins to the high priest is mainly used to purchase marble, that is, white marble.

Murphy's territory was very lush, but there was relatively little stone.

At present, several stone yards are being built, but this will take some time and cost a lot of labor.

Marble is a precious resource. The most needed material for expanding the Grand Temple is these marble. There is no marble in the territory, and Murphy had no choice but to spend a large amount of silver coins to buy from the rear of the southern plains and then transport it over by ship. Fortunately, the origin of marble is not too far from the city of Athens, and the time spent along the way is not too much.

Nowadays, most of the buildings in the territory are mainly wood, and in the future, it is still necessary to replace them with stone buildings in large quantities.

After explaining the remaining things, Murphy waved his hand and signaled that the *** could go down.

Two maids in floral long skirts walked over quickly to take off their coats for him, and then the other one walked into the hall with a touch of hot water.

After three months, the Governor's Office was finally expanded.

After the expansion, the Governor's Mansion will increase by twice the increase compared to the past! It also looks even more magnificent!

In addition to adding a group of rooms, a small racecourse was built on the side of the Governor's Mansion, and a large number of trees were planted around it. Now the Governor's Mansion is divided into three pieces, with the outermost part being the rooms of the generals' guards, and the hall and office in the middle. The inner house is the residence of Murphy and the maids. I don't know whose proposal was, but the craftsmen actually built a large swimming pool in the inner house.

A maid hangs his clothes, then picks up a towel and gently wipes Murphy's face. Another maid helps him take off his long boots, and a pair of white and tender little hands drags his feet into warm water.

"Hu." The feeling of soaking in warm water made Murphy breathe comfortably.

The beautiful girl looked at Murphy and smiled slightly, then gently kneaded Murphy's ankle from top to bottom with her little hands, and said, "Mr. Murphy, you don't have to deal with many things yourself."

Because reclaiming farmland is of great importance and is the foundation of territory development.

So during this period, Murphy was busy again, and he spent all day patrolling and guiding, and had no time to relax. The main reason was that the agricultural level of this era was not too high. During the cultivation process, Murphy summed up the vague farming details in his memory as much as possible and taught it to others. His grandfather was a farmer, and his family had five acres of thin land. Although he couldn't remember many things, he still had a little impression of some vague things in his memory when he was a child. Even if he recalled a few more tools, it would be of great effect.

"I'm finally finished." Murphy smiled with a long breath, raised his hand and bounced the girl's forehead, and joked: "Did you get caught stealing dessert with Lingling yesterday? Then you got hit on the board?"

The girl in the flower season is always very passionate about sweets.

When the girl heard Murphy's teasing, her cheeks suddenly turned red, she touched her buttocks reflexively, lowered her head and stopped talking.

The head of the Governor's Office is a forty-year-old woman with a rather rigid behavior. She is also one of the teachers in charge of training diplomats in the territory. However, her main job is to help Murphy take care of everything in the Governor's Office. This woman is quite strict. Except for Lingling who dares to talk back to her, other girls are quite afraid of her. Now that the territory is in a regular manner, the woman is starting to train the girls' etiquette courses. Recently, their little butts are often beaten.

Just as Murphy finished washing his feet and was about to go back to bed.

The chief guard suddenly sounded outside: "Governor General, the high priest is here."

High Priest?

Murphy was stunned when he heard this.
