Warhammer Divine Throne

Tax officer Gasparton began to report item by item about the information about Jean Baron.

Gene Baron governs a Baron castle and town, a horse farm, a vineyard, and five natural villages. The Chinon River flowing down from the mountain range divides this piece of Baron into two. There are mines in the mountains and some workshops along the river.

Every year Baron can pay Baron an income worth 700-800 gold crowns. Apart from this there are also income from vineyards and a small amount of income from mines, which add up to a total of about 1,000 gold crowns. , But about three hundred gold crowns will be used to pay for various expenses and maintain daily military expenses, and then Ryan has to pay tithes to the fairy in the lake, but as the Holy Grail Knight, he will no longer have to pay 5% to the king The “king’s tax”.

So his real annual income is about 500-600 gold crowns.

But apart from this, the Knight masters of aloof and remote are impossible to let go of the poor serfs and citizens. War tax, road tax, various special taxes, business license tax and even head tax can be used. It depends on Master Knight’s mood to levy them. The specific amount of these incomes is not fixed. Some Master Knights will even send tax officials on their birthdays to ask all serfs to impose a “birthday tax” and other poll taxes.

That is to say, if he does not consider the cost and consequences, it is also possible to force his annual net income to reach 1,000 gold crowns.

When Ryan’s Duke of Winford initiates a call-up, Ryan must send at least two Knights, five cavalry and fifty infantry to report, or hand in equivalent to these military recruitment fees exempted from military service tax.

What he didn’t know was that the performance of the Holy Grail Knight also surprised Gasparton.

Most of the Knight lords in Brittany have a characteristic. They don’t like to focus on these complicated things, and they are not sensitive to those messy numbers, so Knight lords generally do After the inspection, a rough figure is set and then handed over to the tax officer to complete. Their attention is focused on how to work for their ladies and show their bravery.

This gives many tax officials and their steward the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. It will take years or even longer for savvy tax officials and steward to slowly change a share of money belonging to the noble lords. Be your own, and then find a way to get rid of the situation of doing things for others under the fence.

As a tax officer sent by the lake fairy, Gasparton will naturally not be corrupt, but he can read all the accounts and estimate the holy grail of the income range. Gasparton is still The first time I saw him, this middle age person not only had the spirit of twelve points, but he thought it was no wonder that the person in front of him could become the champion of the lady of the lake.

“How many standing soldiers are there in the territory now?” Ryan asked casually.

“There are 25 infantrymen and four sergeants.” Gasparton replied immediately.

“Why are there so few?” Ryan frowned.

In the ancient times of the celestial dynasty, the limit under the feudal system was ten men and one soldier. In this World, it cannot be counted like that in the Middle Ages. Taking into account the productivity of Jean Baron, the fertility of the land and the war of serfs In the case of potential, twenty-five men and one soldier is a relatively normal number of standing troops.

Even so, the Jean Baron leader with a population of about 6,000 to 8,000 should not have only these standing troops.

“I disbanded most of the standing army, leaving only the best young young men. I think the army should be selected by His Excellency Ryan himself.” Gasparton said that there was nothing Under pressure, he said easily: “It is the glory of Supreme to be able to fight for Lord Ryan, who is the Holy Grail Knight. We can’t let everyone join Lord Ryan’s team. Lord Ryan must have his own criteria for choosing people.”

Huh? Ryan looked at the middle-aged man eyes shined in front of him. This insight shows that the tax officer sent by the lake fairy is indeed excellent, because his original plan was to disband the army and re-elect himself, but he didn’t want to be This villain, Gasparton can think of this level is really not easy.

Next, Gasparton explained in many details. He not only sent people to clean and repair the castle in advance, but also prepared enough furniture for the second and third floors of the castle. The money They were all given by Lake Goddess Witch Mojianna, which shows that the fairy in the lake has a preference for Ryan.

Gasparton was very careful in many places. He posted notices in several villages to let all the serfs know that the new lord Lord was the Holy Grail Knight. He continuously urged spring ploughing and encouraged the serfs to work hard. At the same time, he also seconded some rangers to the Duke of Winford to patrol the border in the northern Sharon Forest to ensure that he could immediately organize a militia to counterattack when the wild beasts invaded.

“Very good! Mr. Gasparton, are you on a temporary secondment? Do you have the original position?” When Ryan asked this sentence, the forty-year-old The middle-aged man immediately realized something. He endured his excitement and quickly replied: “No, Your Excellency Ryan.”

“That’s good. You will serve as my tax officer for the time being. If you behave Well, I will consider letting you formally hold this position…but not now.” Ryan’s face had no expression, and he waved his hand to indicate that Gasparton could go out.

“Yes!” Gasparton bowed backwards, then exited the door.

Watching the tax officer slowly fall out of the room, Ryan frowns, he was thinking about many things.

In the context of this World like the Middle Ages, the lord’s authority over his Fiefdom is absolute, but the management part is limited. In addition to taxation and conscription, the life of the lord and the life of the common people It is undoubtedly split.

He now needs to form his own team and manpower.

One Baron has two kingdoms of Knight and five knight-errant knights. Lopus must have a knight-errant knight position. As for the kingdom of knight, don’t worry, it is within the knight kingdom. The knight-errant Knights who are eager to get ahead and opportunities do not know where they are. He believes that these two vacant Knight positions in the kingdom will let everyone hear the news.

Knight-errant Knight also has the difference between a real seal and a false seal. In Bretania, any nobleman will receive the title of knight-errant Knight when he reaches adulthood, but that is a false seal, in Ryan’s hands. These five knight-errant Knight titles are sealed, and there are job incomes.

Especially Ryan is still a holy grail knight, who doesn’t want to fight side by side with holy grail knight? You must know that the powerful Holy Grail Knight can always win the attention of the lady. If you are not careful to be noticed by the lady, wouldn’t it be honored?

Holy Grail Knight as the lord can greatly reduce the distrust of the existing lord to the new lord, but he still has a lot to do. Now most of the tasks can only be slow. Slow down.

Gasparton has organized a five-person servant team for Ryan. Ryan immediately appointed Emilia as the maid chief, Olica as his personal maid, and then compiled Miranda Go into the ranks of servants.

In the evening, at the large wooden table in the dining room of the castle, Ryan had a dinner with Lopus, Alfred, Gasparton and the others. Due to the new arrival, inside the castle Not at all What you eat, everything will be dealt with.

As for Emilia and the others are not qualified to have dinner with Ryan and the others, they wait for the new Lord Baron to clean up the table before finishing their own dinner in the kitchen.

The sky is getting darker. Tonight’s Jean Baron collar has no moonlight, and some are just full of stars. It is the end of March, and the night in early spring is still cold. Although the Jean Baron collar is a rich land , But there will not be that many money to install magic lights, the territory at night is very dim.

Ryan has some magic lights in his hand, which were gifted by Teresa’s mother Aurora. He can activate them by inputting psionic energy. These lights have been installed in several main rooms by him. inside.

Standing on the balcony of the castle and looking out, the Charon Forest in the north appeared at the edge of the line of sight. No one knew what dangerous creatures were in the dark forest.

In the eastern mountain range, there is a road leading to Weinford Duchy along the river. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round. If you cross Snow Mountain, you can reach Helenhild, the capital of Weinford Duchy. , The famous big city in Brittania.

At this time, footsteps came from behind Ryan: “My Baron, are you looking for me?”

It’s Gasparton.

“Yes, Gasparton, please sit down.” Ryan turned around and motioned his temporary tax officer to sit down with him on the balcony.

Olika the dark elf came over with an iron plate, on which there were butter beer, mugs, and a small bowl of water. She carried things on the balcony table and gave them to both Filled with Butterbeer, then stood behind Ryan, without saying a word.

Gasparton was a little curious about how Ryan got such a dark elf maid, but since the lady hadn’t instructed him, he naturally didn’t dare to ask, and Ryan’s actions continued to refresh the tax. Three views of officials.

I saw Ryan extend the hand, the light blue energy gathered in his hand, a mass of clear water was separated from the bowl of water, and then quickly frozen in the air, and ice cubes were thrown into Ryan’s Mark In the cup: “Mr. Gasparton, do you want some more?”

“No…no.” Gasparton shook his hand with a little pressure: “If you have anything, please tell me directly. Baron.”

“Many parts of the castle are damaged, and the water tower is also showing signs of disrepair. I plan to let someone repair my castle completely. I don’t know what Mr. Gasparton can do. Suggestion?” Ryan said calmly: “Money is not a problem.”

“If Baron has no financial concerns, then I suggest you go to Helenhild and find a businessman to complete this Something.” Gasparton thought for a while, and said sincerely: “Jean has artisans here, but their level is limited, they may not be able to meet your needs, and…”

“And ?” Ryan still seemed to see no emotions.

“And I think it is necessary for Baron to visit His Excellency Francois, Duke of Winford and His Excellency Connery, Marquis of Ascot.” Gasparton continued: “Jean is Win Part of Ford Duchy is also the gateway to Duchy. I believe that His Excellency Francois will be willing to help.”

“Yeah~” Ryan nodded, he made up his mind and waited until things settled down here. He immediately went to visit the Marquis of Ascot and the Duke of Winford.

He wants to take root and grow here in the future, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with his immediate boss, even in name.

“By the way, I have a question, Mr. Gasparton, can you explain it to me?” Ryan said with a slight smile: “In the previous record, I remember our king Your Majesty His name is’Tiger’ Dinoah Jean-Richard, but in the mouth of Suria Young Lady, how did he become Richard Le Angouran?”

“This is not a contradiction. Our full name of Your Majesty is Dinoah-Jean-Richard-de-Le-Angoulan.” Gasparton began to explain the difference.

It turns out that Dinoah is Richard’s mother’s name, let’s be his father’s name, Richard is his real name, De means “from”, and Le-Angouran is where he is. Lord’s name.

The general meaning of this name is that Jean and Dinoah’s child is Richard from Le Angoulên.

“So Su Liya Young Lady’s full name is Su Liya Kumani Antry de Winford?” Ryan said casually.

“That’s the case, but your Excellency Baron, please be aware that only the families of the hereditary titles can use the German + domain name.” Gasparton reminded.

“Okay, I see.”

Gasparton stepped back.

Only Olica and Ryan were left on the balcony. Ryan moved towards Olica and said: “Let’s go rest too.”

The dark elf nodded, She followed Ryan to the third floor.

The third floor is where the lord and his family live. Ryan lives in a separate room. This is a large room with a size of 60 square meters. Planted carpets, the windows were also covered by thick curtains, all kinds of furniture were available, and the fireplace had been lit.

The servant called two buckets of hot water. Baron and the dark elf bathed and changed their clothes one after another, and then lay together on the innermost bed of the room, each with a quilt.

In the dark night, everything is silent.

Until the dark elf took the initiative to speak: “Master? Can I make a suggestion?”

“Don’t you know that the slave has no right to make suggestions to the master?” Ryan smiled. He stretched his hand lightly around the shoulders of the dark elf, feeling her softness.

The dark elf resisted for a while, but her weak strength was not at all an opponent of the Legendary mid-level humans in front of her. As her hands were pulled behind her back, she failed again.

But this was also in her expectation. The dark elf knew that she was impossible to succeed, but this was what she wanted, not that she wanted to be held by this human being, but that she wanted Take this opportunity to stir up conversation.

“I think I need to show you my value. The weak are not eligible to be sheltered.” Olica shook her head, her face was all self-deprecating: “I am not only serving you as a servant. I can’t reflect any value that belongs to me. In Trucchi, the only value of my slave is…”

Speaking of which, Olica’s cold and wild face is a bit crimson , She looked away.

“emmm~tentatively talk about it.”
