Chapter 1 Preface(2/2)
Explanation: The farmers are not soldiers fighting for the sake of fighting. They are a large number of cheap and consuming troops on the battlefield. They have no military qualities and are even unwilling to fight. They are just a group of poor people to protect their homes.

Explanation: Greek militias are soldiers recruited from cities and are put into the battlefield after a little training. They are spearmen, equipped with spears and a large round shield, which is why they are named. As a type of infantry, Greek militias have existed for centuries, and there has not been much change in tactics or equipment. These people do not wear armor because they are recruited from the poor at the bottom, and they also have to provide their own combat equipment. Greek city-states have always been protected by the people. Their straits of the straits of the straits are the most effective in combat. Greek militias are soldiers recruited from cities and are put into the battlefield after a little training.

Murphy looked at the data scene that appeared in his mind and thought silently.
Although it has the auxiliary system of "Total War", this world is not a game after all. There are many things that cannot be solved with game data, and at most it can only be considered auxiliary.
It’s like the original game only has tax and agricultural income, but after we get here, the system obviously separates tax and agricultural income. Moreover, after Murphy’s research during this period, it was found that the data provided by the auxiliary system would have a great fluctuation with reality.
When building a wooden fence, the system prompted that it took one month. After Murphy issued this order through the messenger, the town automatically assigned and dispatched about 300 people to cut down trees and build wooden fences. The wooden fence is a town-level building. The population can be built with a population of more than 1,000. The time required is one round, which is one month. According to this progress, it was too slow to build a wooden fence. So Murphy personally assigned to increase the number of people who cut down trees and build wooden fences to 1,200!
As a result, the work efficiency was greatly accelerated, and the wooden fence was built in just one week.
Obviously, the Total War system is just a digitized indication, but the specific details are still based on reality.
It's like arable land. Murphy went to see the arable land outside the Greek town.
After a rough observation, due to the destruction of the desolation of the werewolves for a year, after a week of repairs, it was barely hooked with the lowest arable land marked by the system. However, although it was deserted, the originally fertile land could be restored quickly after a certain amount of repair and digging of ditches. Murphy's field has been carefully examined, and it is about 1,000 acres.
According to the grain production of four stones per acre, one thousand acres per quarter is four thousand stones, which is exactly the same as the grain income of half a year in the data. However, the grain production of 4,000 stones a year is obviously very barely enough to feed two thousand people and the army, and further opening up arable land is necessary.
The two teams of Greek infantry have a total of 300 silver coins for one month, and 1,800 silver coins for six months. Although the pair of Spartan heavy infantry is provided by the system and cannot be recruited, the maintenance fee is still required. One month is 400 silver coins and six months is 2,400 silver coins. Total, the maintenance fee for the army in half a year is 4,200 silver coins.
Adding to the six-month tax of 1,800 silver coins given in the system data, the total tax is equal to 6,000 silver coins, exactly 1,000 silver coins per month. In the absence of commercial trade, according to medium tax, it is exactly 0.5 per month of cap tax for 2,000 townsmen.
The tax on 6,000 silver coins in half a year is indeed a bit less. If military expenses are deducted, basically nothing is left.
But this is just a medium tax. If Murphy adjusts the tax to a high tax, then the basic head tax will become one silver coin per person per month. Then the tax for half a year is 12,000 silver coins, and the surplus for half a year is 7,800 silver coins.
That would be quite considerable!
However, now that the town has just been built, people's hearts are floating, so it is not suitable to increase taxes.
After rubbing his head, Murphy opened the construction interface again to see what to build next.
People also need to sleep at night, and construction orders are generally issued during the day. At night, if you ask the official to issue orders to prevent people from sleeping, the next day, the public will be very upset.
Buildings can be built at present:
Wooden wall (construction rounds: 2): The defense of a simple wooden wall is better than a wooden fence, but it is still nothing for organized attacks. However, it provides hardwood gates and strengthens the protection of the city wall, which can delay the speed of the enemy's attack into the city, so it is a good thing to fight raids. Silver coins are required for construction: 800.
Horse shed (number of construction rounds: 3): This is the basic building required to train cavalry troops. Horses are precious war reserve resources, and horse sheds are places where horses are cultivated for war. Horse sheds can be upgraded as the city grows, thereby recruiting more powerful and diversified troops (recruiting: javelin cavalry, which can domesticate horses). Silver coins are required for construction: 1200.
Range (number of construction rounds: 3): Range is the building required to train light troops. This is especially true for javelin throwing exercises. (Recruiting: Javelin soldiers) Silver coins are required for construction: 1200.
Shop (construction rounds: 2): A merchant can make a small fortune by selling some local specialties to other cities. It is risky to do business, but it is a good way to increase wealth. Trade between cities can benefit each other and prosper together, while self-sufficiency is difficult to promote development. (Providing: Increase trade goods, increase the population growth rate by 05%) Silver coins are required for construction: 600.
Public Farm (Construction Rounds: 3): When the "fire farming" farming method exhausts the productivity of the land, public farms appear, and people cooperate to cultivate. Public farms produce through small-scale economies, concentrate the means of production, and everyone conducts team division of labor and cooperation to achieve a bumper harvest together. In this way, personal losses can be minimized and yield increases and population growth. Silver coins are required for construction: 1200.
Stone paving roads (construction rounds: 3): These repaired stone roads can allow the army to gather quickly and march quickly, so the construction of stone paving roads is of course given priority to its military value, but merchants or farmers can also benefit from it. The construction of stone paving roads requires careful measurement and survey, and a large number of road inspections and various auxiliary roads. No matter how complex the project is, at least it will not turn into mud roads in the rainy season, and will not turn into dust roads in the sunny days. Construction requires silver coins: 1200.
Port (number of construction rounds: 2): Ports increase maritime trade and create wealth for cities, and can also build small warships. For all long-distance trade, sea transportation is one of the most important ways. The route was a fast route for freight at that time, and transporting goods by ship was the most cost-effective. From a military perspective, ports were also very important because building a naval fleet requires the port's technology, personnel and equipment. (Providing: establishing a trade fleet, building a fishing ship) (Recruiting troops: double-row warships) Silver coins are required for construction: 1200.
Leader Temple: This temple is dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war and crafts. She is also the patron saint of Athens, the birthplace of democracy. Athens not only gave mankind many advanced craftsmanship, but also nurtured many almighty warriors. Through worship of religious gods, the people can feel happy and satisfied with spiritual support. When cities grow, the temple can be expanded (5% for happiness and 5% for social security due to law). Construction requires silver coins: 280.
Greek cavalry are basically good at playing soybeans, and the ranged troops are also very average. So there is no need to consider the horse sheds and shooting ranges for the time being. Since the shops have not found other human towns, trade is not good for the time being.
So the remaining roads can be built in the future and then excluded. The public farms are not in a hurry because they missed the winter wheat.
In this way, what is really needed to build at present are wooden walls, ports and temples.
There are many creatures like the gnolls in the game of the previous life, so defense is the key. However, because the wooden fence has been established, the demand for wooden walls is not so strong for the time being. If we just block those gnolls, the wooden fence more than three meters high is barely enough.
After the wooden wall is temporarily released, the most important thing is the temple and port of the goddess of wisdom Athena.
Since the town was named Athens, Murphy is not planning to build the temple of several other gods, such as the God of Love, the God of Wealth, and the Goddess of Victory. It only takes one round to build the lowest temple. If there are more laborers, it may be completed in a few days.
Since he came to this world, Murphy has become more awe of the gods. Therefore, he is more inclined to build a temple first.
However, it is still a bit difficult to maintain food self-sufficiently, and spring wheat will take a long time to harvest. The grain reserves in the national treasury alone cannot last long. To the west of the town is a river with a wide and gentle water surface, with fertile water and fertile water, so there is absolutely no problem in developing fisheries. Moreover, there are obviously more options in the auxiliary system.
That is to build fishing boats.
In this way, before crops are harvested, the river alone that is comparable to the Nile River can feed thousands of people.
Murphy, the river called Nidoria, once led cavalry to investigate. The river surface is wide and the water is stable, the water and grass on both sides are dense, the fish are fat, and some areas with gentle water are not known to be hidden in the dense reed marsh. As long as the scale of the fishing boat can be expanded, the source of food will not be so tense for the time being.
Moreover, Murphy estimated that this river was going west to the sea, and there should be many human urban villages along the way. If other humans could be found, then trade would be possible, and there would undoubtedly be another income. There are traces left by a large number of human towns here. Murphy estimated that it should be because of the creatures similar to gnolls that the humans who originally lived here would leave.
The port cannot be completed for a while.
So after thinking about it, Murphy decided to start building the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, tomorrow.
In this unknown world, even as a time traveler, he needs a spiritual sustenance.
"Goddess of Wisdom - Athena, if you really exist, bless me to successfully resist the attacks of those werewolves." Murphy thought silently in his heart and slowly fell asleep.
