Chapter 6 Cultivate arable land (Part 2)!

Walking slowly into the governor's mansion, the police officer reported to Murphy the 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 amount. But this was already expected by Murphy, so he was not surprised. The jackal slave trade was originally a temporary thing, and it was impossible for it to last too long. From the time when the human city-states were training their troops to counterattack the Gnolls, the slave traders keenly felt that the slave trade, which had been hot for several months, was going cold.

Gnolls are ferocious by nature and are not suitable for domestication as slaves.

In fact, after the first battle in the canyon, those captured adult gnolls were basically executed.

On this point, the noble council basically agreed. They don't want these jackals to cause any more trouble in the human territory. The best way to deal with enemies is to turn them all into dead people.

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

"There are about 60,000 silver coins in the treasury." The public security officer flipped through the notebook in his hand and said quickly.

Another 60,000 silver coins?

Murphy nodded when he heard the words. Before he set off to the canyon, he mobilized silver coins to buy a batch of supplies from the back of the southern plain. Now there are still 60,000 silver coins left, which is far beyond his estimate.

"Transfer 20,000 silver coins to the high priest, and let her prepare to expand the temple." Murphy thought for a while, and then said: "Transfer 10,000 silver coins to the chief priest of the God of War, and let him rebuild the Temple of War. "

"Yes." The police officer responded.

The auxiliary system of "Total War" commanded and counted the silver coins consumed by construction manpower, and other consumption such as materials had to be estimated by Murphy himself. This is true whether building buildings or recruiting troops. The auxiliary system will calculate the basic cost of recruiting troops, but the consumption of equipment needs to be prepared by Murphy himself. Either let the citizens spend their own money to buy equipment, or let Murphy prepare uniform equipment.

Since the city of Athens has always been in a highly centralized state, all arrangements have been controlled by Murphy himself.

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

After nearly three months of accumulation, Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, has finally accumulated more than five figures of faith, and the temple page in the auxiliary system of "Total War" also shows that the temple can be further expanded. Since it is planned to expand the temple, the temple of the God of War Kratos will inevitably be expanded together. This is a disguised balance, and Murphy doesn't intend to let one side completely overwhelm the other among the temples. Another more important reason is that the priests of the God of War Kratos can now be said to be the main battle force in the city of Athens.

Murphy can't be too cold to them.

In fact, it doesn't cost too much silver coins to expand the temple, and the manpower consumption of the territory is completely affordable. The reason for mobilizing nearly 30,000 silver coins to the high priest is mainly to buy marble, that is, white marble.

Murphy's territory was very lush with trees, but relatively lacking in stones.

At present, several quarries are being built in the territory, but it will take some time and a lot of labor.

Marble is a very precious resource, and the materials most needed to expand the Great Temple are these marbles. There is no marble produced in the territory, and Murphy has no choice but to spend a lot of silver coins to buy it from the back of the southern plain, and then transport it by boat. Fortunately, the origin of marble is not too far from the city of Athens, and the time spent along the road is not too much.

Most of the buildings in the territory are now made of wood, and it is still necessary to replace a large number of stone buildings in the future.

After explaining the remaining few things, Murphy waved his hand to signal the police officer to go down.

Two maids in long floral dresses walked over quickly and took off his coat for him, and then another person walked into the hall with a touch of hot water.

After three months, the expansion of the Governor's Mansion was finally completed.

After the expansion, the Governor's Mansion will be twice as large as before! It also looks more magnificent!

In addition to adding a number 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 parts, the outermost one is the rooms of the general guards and attendants, the middle one is the hall and office, and the inner house is the residence of Murphy and the maids. I don't know who suggested it, but the craftsmen actually built a large swimming pool in the inner house.

One of the maids dried the clothes, then picked up a towel and gently wiped Murphy's face, while the other maid helped him take off his boots, and dragged his feet into the warm water with a pair of white and tender hands.

"Huh." The feeling of soaking in warm water made Murphy let out a long and comfortable breath.

The girl with a beautiful face glanced at Murphy, smiled lightly, then gently kneaded Murphy's ankle with her small hands from top to bottom, and said, "Master Murphy, there are actually many things that you don't have to deal with yourself. .”

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

So during this period of time, Murphy was very busy, running around the whole day to inspect and guide, and he never had a moment of leisure. The main reason is that the level of agriculture in this era is not too high. During the process of reclamation, Murphy tried his best to summarize the vague farming details in his memory, and then taught others. His grandparents were farmers, and the family has always had five mu of land, although he can't remember many things. But I still have a little impression of some vague things in my memory when I was a child. Even if you recall a few more tools, it will be quite useful.

"I'm finally done." Murphy let out a long breath and smiled, raised his hand to pat the girl's forehead, and teased, "Did you get caught stealing dessert with Bell yesterday? Then you got boarded?"

Girls in the blooming season are always very keen on sweets.

Hearing Murphy's teasing, the girl blushed immediately, touched her buttock reflexively, lowered her head and stopped talking.

The head of the Governor's Mansion 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, the main job at present is to help Murphy take care of everything in the governor's mansion. This woman was rather strict, except for Ling Dang who dared to talk back to her, the other girls were quite afraid of her. Now that the territory is on the right track, this woman is starting to train the girls in etiquette courses. Recently, their little buttocks have been hit by the board a lot.

When Murphy finished washing his feet and was about to go back to sleep.

The chief guard's respectful voice suddenly sounded outside: "Your Excellency, the High Priest is here."

high priest?

Murphy was taken aback when he heard that.

Counting from the last time he was injured, the High Priest hadn't been to the Governor's Mansion for nearly two months.
