I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 97 City information (contains a large amount of data)
"That's the second phase."

Antigonus replied, thinking of the very famous Cretan archers in his mind, he said, "But I already have a plan to recruit from the Cretans and Rhode Islanders."

"You mean... Cretan archers and Rhode Island slingers?"

Kronos was very familiar with the specialties of these two regions, so he guessed Antigon's plan at once.

Seeing that he thought as much as he did, Antigonus hummed, "But besides these two kinds, Agirians and Thracians are still indispensable."

"I am going to organize the Agirians into an independent brigade to cooperate with our army's cavalry on the battlefield. The Thracians will also be incorporated into an independent brigade, but they will take on the responsibility of attacking the infantry."

"This seems to be a big sum of money..." Kronos thought to himself that with the king's expansion of the army, one-third of the people in the entire kingdom might have to be conscripted into the army, and he didn't know. Can the kingdom's finances support his military expansion like this?

Perhaps seeing Kronos' concern, Antigonus smiled slightly and said, "I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured that, except for the most important heavy infantry, I will temporarily designate the other arms as conscripts , which would reduce the pressure on the treasury.”

Kronos was speechless.

……

A few hours later, Antigonus’s newly drafted decree was issued to the Palace of Vigina. Special clerks stood on the streets of Pella and read the king’s decree aloud. With the clerks’ loud voices, more and more The more people knew about the king's conscription order, they were amazed that the scope of heavy infantry conscription was extended to the free people class, and they were also surprised that the soldiers' equipment was borne by the state. This undoubtedly made many free people eager to try and meet the designated conscription Click sign up.The free folk were happy. Although the citizens were a little bit critical, they didn't dare to say anything under such a big situation, so they could only follow the crowd to the gate of the barracks to sign up.

While the citizens flocked to sign up, Antigon entered the system interface that he hadn't checked for a long time, and checked the information of Pella City:

……

After some inspection, he found that the population has directly decreased by more than 2000, and the population of all classes has also decreased slightly. It must be the effect of the implementation of the immigration policy. He looked at the column of the number of soldiers that can be recruited by citizens and freedmen. I am secretly glad that there is a new policy, otherwise, even if all citizens with citizenship are stuffed into the army, there is no way to recruit a double phalanx.

He then looked at the information on several other cities in the system interface:

……

After looking at the other four cities, Antigonus was a little dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that among the three new cities, Arcelos had the smallest population, but their buildings were the most built. Antigonus could probably guess that the Arcelians The reason for the small number is nothing more than that the geographical location is right on the front line of the war, so that immigrants dare not move there.This made him think about whether to carry out another immigration to increase the population of Arcelor City, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan. Before the war really ended, Arcelor City was not a suitable city to live in after all.

In addition, what attracted Antigonus the most was the population ratio of Thebes city. It can be explained that the column of resident foreigners is 0, but it is a bit strange that the column of citizens is 0. Antigonus looked it up strangely. After some time, I finally understood why.The system does not count the citizens of the Greek city-states into the citizen group of the Kingdom of Macedonia, but classifies them as free citizens. This is why a large number of refugees come here every year. There are still so few citizens, but the free citizens are getting more and more more and more reasons.

In the classical era, the test of a country's strength still depended on the number of its citizens. Antigonus thought about it and made a decision that no one thought of.
