Walking slowly into the governor''s office, the official reported to Murphy the trade income of the last two months.


    Because of the end of the Jackal slave trade, the amount of trade income in the territory suddenly decreased by a large section. But as early as Murphy expected, he was not surprised. The Jackal slave trade was a temporary event, and it could not last too long. From the time when the human city-state was preparing to fight back against the jackals, the slave merchants had a keen sense that the slave trade, which had been hot for several months, was going cold.


    Jackals are cruel in nature and are not suitable to be domesticated as slaves.


    In fact, after World War I, most of the adult jackals who were captured were executed.


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

    "How much silver is left in the Treasury?" Although there is a sum of gold in the national treasury, because the world is still used to silver as the monetary unit, Murphy always counts the value of silver. For a long time, the income from trade has been passable, and there is no problem in maintaining the basic operation of the territory. The money obtained from the trade with centaurs and the sale of land has not been used much, and there should be a lot more.


    "There are about 60000 silver coins in the Treasury."*** The official turned over the book in his hand and said quickly.


    And 60000 silver?


    Murphy nodded after hearing the words. Before going to the canyon, he mobilized silver coins to buy a batch of materials from the back of the southern plain. Now there are 60000 silver coins left, which is far beyond his estimate.


    "Transfer 20000 silver coins to the high priest and let her prepare for the expansion of the temple." Murphy thought for a moment, then said: "in the transfer of 10000 silver coins to the God of war, let him rebuild the temple of war."


    "Yes."*** The official should say so.


    The auxiliary system of Total War commands to count the silver coins of building manpower consumption, while other consumption, such as material consumption, should be estimated by Murphy himself. It''s true whether it''s building buildings or recruiting troops. The auxiliary system will calculate the basic cost of recruiting troops, but the consumption of equipment needs Murphy to prepare by himself. Either let the citizens pay for the equipment themselves, or Murphy will prepare the unified equipment.


    All along, because Athens is in a highly centralized state, all aspects of the arrangements are controlled by Murphy himself.


    On the military side, Murphy is more inclined to provide unified equipment from the territory, moving towards the road of 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, finally accumulated more than five figures of faith. 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 Kratos will inevitably be expanded together. This is a disguised balance. Murphy doesn''t intend to let one side of the temple overwhelm the other. Another important reason is that the priests of Kratos are the main fighting forces in Athens.


    Murphy can''t be too cold on them.


    In fact, the expansion of the temple does not cost much silver, and the territory can bear the manpower consumption. Nearly 30000 silver coins were sent to the high priest mainly for the purchase of marble, that is, white marble.


    Murphy''s territory is very woody, but stone is scarce.


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


    Marble is a kind of precious resource, which is the most needed material for the expansion of the great temple. There was no marble in the territory, and Murphy had no choice but to spend a lot of silver money to buy it from the back of the southern plain, and then ship it over. Fortunately, the origin of marble is not too far away from Athens, and the time consumed along the road is not too much.


    At present, most of the buildings in the territory are mainly made of wood. In the future, it is necessary to replace a large number of buildings with stone.


    After explaining the remaining things, Murphy waved to the official to go down.


    Two maids in floral dresses came quickly to take off his coat. Then another came into the hall with a touch of hot water.


    It took three months to complete the expansion of the governor''s house.


    After the completion of the expansion, the governor''s house is twice as big as it used to be! Also appears more magnificent!


    In addition to adding a number of rooms, a small Racecourse was built on the side of the governor''s house, and a large number of trees were planted around it. At present, the governor''s mansion is divided into three parts. The outer part is the room of the general''s servants. The center is the hall and office. The inner house is the residence of Murphy and the maids. I don''t know whose proposal, the craftsmen actually built a large swimming pool in the inner house.


    One maid hung the clothes, and then picked up a towel to gently wipe Murphy''s face. Another maid helped him take off his boots and put his feet in warm water with a pair of small white hands.


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


    The pretty girl took a look at Murphy and gave a smile. Then she gently kneaded Murphy''s ankle with her little hand and said, "Mr. Murphy, you don''t have to deal with many things yourself."


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


    So during this time, Murphy was so busy that she had been running around all day. The main reason is that the level of agriculture in this era is not too high. In the process of reclamation, Murphy summed up the vague farming details and methods in his memory as much as possible, and then taught them to others. His grandfather was a farmer, and his family always had five mu of thin land, although he didn''t remember many things. But when I was a child, I still had a little impression on some vague things in my memory. Even if you recall a few more tools, it''s quite useful.


    "It''s over at last." Murphy took a long breath, laughed, raised his hand and flicked the girl''s forehead, joking: "were you caught stealing dessert with lingdang yesterday? And then it hit the board? "


    Blooming girls are always keen on sweets.


    After listening to Murphy''s teasing, the girl suddenly blushed, touched her hips reflexively, and lowered her head.


    The head of the governor''s office is a 40 year old woman with rigid behavior. She is also one of the teachers in charge of training diplomats in the territory. However, the main task at present is to help Murphy take care of everything in the governor''s office. This woman is more severe, in addition to bell dare to talk back to her, other girls are quite afraid of her. Now that the territory is becoming more formal, this woman is starting to train the girls in their etiquette courses. Recently, their little buttocks have been on the boards.


    Just as Murphy finished washing her feet and was ready to go back to bed.


    A respectful voice of the chief bodyguard suddenly sounded outside: "Your Excellency, the high priest is coming."


    High priest?


    Murphy was stunned.


    Since his last injury, the high priest has not been to the governor''s house for more than two months.
