The planning of the port is divided into three parts, one is shipbuilding workshop, which is located in the south of the port. One is a residential area, located to the east of the port, where most of the indigenous people who settled in Athens lived. The last area is the market, which also covers the largest area. It is connected with the wharf, and a 15 meter wide road is built in the middle to facilitate the transportation of goods.
Now in charge of port security are four new Greek infantry teams, which patrol in turn in two teams.
The person in charge of the port is the Aboriginal people, that is, plifi, a slave merchant who connects Murphy with the Centaur tribe. He was promoted by Murphy to be an official, mainly responsible for dealing with the conflicts between the Greeks and the aborigines and the trade of goods.
In Murphy''s opinion, no one is more suitable for the job than him.
It is obviously more effective to use aborigines to deal with the relationship with aborigines than to arrange other people.
There is a simple military camp near the shipbuilding workshop of the port, which mainly provides a rest place for soldiers. Next to it is the Finance Department of the port. It was built on the model of governor Murphy''s house. It covers an area of about three acres. It is mainly for officials to live and work. All medium and above trade in the territory should be filed with the finance department and pay certain taxes. That is to say, the bulk trade with trade volume of more than 500 silver coins should be recorded, otherwise it is illegal, and the goods will be confiscated by the Greek infantry responsible for port security!
As soon as he arrived at the Treasury, Murphy saw pulifer striding out.
Or now it''s time to call him privet, the official.
"Here comes the governor! Great. I''m going to report to you. " As soon as he saw mephistone, he was overjoyed. He walked quickly to mephistone, bowed slightly, and said, "this month, the tax revenue of the port has been counted out, plus the land sold out, there are totally 64000 silver coins!"
so many?!
Murphy was stunned, took the bill and looked at it.
He sold about 2000 mu of fertile land to the south of the port in a modern bidding mode, with a reserve price of 20 silver coins per mu. It seems that the enthusiasm of the world''s indigenous people for land is still unabated, and the final price actually rose by 50%! Murphy was worried at first about selling the land.
After all, there are jackals nearby, far less safe than the southern plains.
But he really underestimated people''s enthusiasm for land. Moreover, the changes in the territory over the past few months have also told the aborigines that this place is destined to rise!
The diligence and wisdom of these Greeks are making the whole territory full of vigor and vitality!
And their soldiers are strong.
The land in the back of the southern plain is controlled by nobles. The price of buying land from them is much higher than that of Murphy!
If they do not have any bad records within three years, then they will be able to obtain citizenship, be recognized by the Athenian Town, have the right to tax exemption, run for office and so on. At present, due to the fact that the talent discovery system has not yet been formed, middle and low-level officials are all elected by the public, and then tested by Murphy, and appointed after the test.
The tax revenue of probationary citizens is 37%, that is, 30% is handed over to the Lord and 70% is owned by themselves.
After obtaining citizenship, the tax became 28%, 20% was handed over to the Lord, and 80% was owned by himself. Although the difference is only 10%, many indigenous people still hope to obtain the citizenship of Athens. Because the citizens of Athens are much more noble than the free citizens of human city states. Just being able to run for office has attracted many people''s eyes.
Identity!
In this era, to be a respectable person with status is absolutely the pursuit of most people in their life.
Even in modern times, why not?
At present, the total population of Athens is about 8000, of which the number of citizens is about 4000. Children can only obtain citizenship after they reach the age of 14. At present, the main composition of citizens is mainly Greek.
"Well done!" Murphy got off the horse and patted him on the shoulder, praising him.
Now pulifer has transferred the original slave trade to his younger brother. Since he became an official, he has strict requirements on his clothes, words and deeds. Even bought a lot of things to visit the territory diplomat tobayes. Now he is wearing a white official robe. He looks a bit like a Greek aristocrat, and he lacks the Philistine of a businessman.
"Without the wisdom of the governor, there would not be everything that is now." Pliffe bowed his head respectfully and said slowly.
He was one of the first indigenous people to follow Murphy and witnessed the development of the territory all the way. In just a few months, the territory seems to have taken on a new look, and now it is booming towards the rudiment of a city!
What''s more, with the development of territory, the army in cities and towns is also developing rapidly.
Cavalry, archers, and powerful Greek infantry.
Now Murphy''s strength is no weaker than the count of a human city.
As a businessman who started the slave trade, pulifer deeply understood the importance of the army in this era. And he also feels lucky for his wise investment!
Next, pliffe briefly reported to Murphy the progress of the port in that year and so on.
In the middle of his speech, a tax collector came quickly and said excitedly, "Your Excellency. Diplomat tobayes is back. He brought back a lot of weapons! "
Weapons?
Murphy was a little stunned.
If Murphy remembers correctly, it seems that diplomat tobayes went to the city-state of mankind to make friends with the aristocratic parliament, right?
How to bring back a lot of weapons?
"Go. Go to the dock and have a look. " Murphy said in a deep voice to the nearby pliffe.
When he arrived at the dock, Murphy saw a whole ship of weapons. All these weapons were long guns, and they were Greek style long guns. Their heads were sharp and shining. They were all made of fine iron of this era!
Murphy took up a long gun and thrust it forward. Most of the point of the gun fell into the wood of the dock.
Superior iron weapon!
After such a long time of training, Murphy''s understanding of weapons gradually increased.
At present, there is no such forging technology in the territory, and I''m afraid only Lord Lotung chaider, who has always been friendly with the dwarves, can master such forging technology.
A whole ship of iron spears, I''m afraid enough to arm hundreds of people!
"What''s this?" Murphy asked, looking at tobayes, the diplomat who came quickly in front of him.
"Lord rotundschald didn''t know where he learned about our trade relationship with the Centaur tribe. He asked me to buy horses from the Centaur tribe through our territory. These are the rewards offered by Lord Rothschild Tobayes leaned slightly over and looked at Murphy in awe, whispering.
According to the system, he has overstepped his authority.
Because these things must be nodded by Murphy, at least they must be reported to the governor''s office in advance.
But according to the reality, he did a absolutely right thing. This matter not only has no loss to the territory, but also gains extra benefits. And it takes a lot of time to get back and forth.
"Well done." Murphy smiles, which makes tobayes relax, and his heart falls back. But the next moment Murphy said in a deep voice, "take away your salary this month. Never again
Diplomat tobayes immediately grimaced and nodded.
As a diplomat, of course, he knew that he was just the Lord''s mouthpiece. Now he rashly agreed to Lord Rothschild''s request, which was beyond his authority. In fact, he would agree, mainly because he thought that Murphy would not object to it.
In fact, Murphy didn''t think he was wrong.
however.
This person is an excellent person. The more excellent he is, the easier he is to be proud.
So Murphy needs to hit him.
The beating should not be too heavy, which will dampen his spirit and edge. But also can''t connive, that will let him not know his position.
Generally speaking, the development of the territory still needs talents from all aspects. Murphy can''t do everything by himself, so it is necessary to provide talents with opportunities to develop their abilities. But it''s going to test Murphy''s reputation and control.
There are more and more aborigines in the territory. It''s not surprising that Lord Rothschild knew about his trade with the Centaur tribe.
But he paid too much for his own horses, didn''t he?
Murphy thought a little.
In addition to the half body armor that Mrs. Elizabeth had sent to her, Lord Rothschild''s aid was enough to arm an army.
Why is he so supportive?
First class iron spears were sent to the barracks. These iron spears will be used to arm the Greek heavy infantry after the expansion of the urban barracks is completed. At that time, the soldiers of the whole territory would be fully dressed and retrained according to the standard of Greek heavy infantry.
Because the territory is not big, Murphy is not worried about military maintenance.
At present, in addition to supporting urban construction, the revenue of the territory is mainly used to maintain the consumption of the army.
The army is everything!
On the way back, Murphy saw a group of naked men and children about 500 meters from the port.
"What''s this?" Murphy asked, pointing to the men who had jumped into the river not far away.
"The public baths in the territory have not yet been built. It''s summer again. Citizens can''t sleep without a bath after a day''s work. So general riodari ordered the soldiers to cut down the reeds here and pick out a place where the water level is gentle to bathe the citizens. " The knight of the general''s guard explained quickly.
On the whole, the water potential of the nidoria river is relatively gentle. There are many reed marshes in the tributaries at the edge of the river. There are no rapids and vortices. The water is only three or four meters deep, and there is no problem for bathing.
"I didn''t expect him to be so careful." Murphy said with a smile.
Many facilities are not perfect when the town is newly built.
Ordinary citizens naturally can''t be like Murphy that someone arranges to wash and bathe every day and so on.
After a day''s work, while the women were cooking dinner, the men came here with their children to have a bath.
