Black Iron Crown

Chapter 567: Ma Fang Nanshan

Logan’s report is much simpler than Sir Baragon’s report, but the documents he sent are just as complicated. It records how much money was spent on where to buy intelligence personnel, how many spies were paid, and how much salary, and The name of each spy and the place where they work.

  Rainer glanced briefly, placed it on the table, and looked at Ezehi.

  As the minister of commerce in the court of Reiner, he controls all business conditions and business taxation in the direct territory of Reiner.

   He walked up and bowed to Lena with an exaggerated look, and he was about to tuck his head in his crotch in a humble manner.

   "Respected, great, benevolent and generous Northern Territory Grand Duke, the supreme Majesty Rainer Moreland, please allow your humblest and most loyal servant to report to you everything I am in charge of!"

   Ezehi's series of compliments made Rainer a little uncomfortable, and he waved his hand to let him report as soon as possible.

"The statistics are as of August 20th, 32nd of the Empire. Commercial activities in your territory have increased by 8% compared with the previous month, which is smaller than the increase four years ago, but the increase The amount has grown a lot!"

"There are a total of 38 wool cloth factories in the territory that have applied to His Majesty the Grand Duke, employing about 2,000 female workers to participate in the textiles. At the same time, retail textiles have also reached 40% compared with last year. Fifth, the commercial tax provided by wool cloth has been reached..."

   "Forty gold coins per month, within your domain of the Grand Duke, the tax amount of the wool cloth production certificate reaches forty gold coins per month!"

In general, there are 12 large merchants with capital of more than 100 gold coins in the north, 105 small merchants with less than 50 gold coins, and 580 small merchants with less than 10 gold coins. Eight people. They initially promoted the commercial prosperity of the northern border. In addition, the number of foreign businessmen has increased from the 53 people before the statistics of four years and June to the current 466 people, which is about nine. More than twice! "

   "Last month, July, the business tax reached 460 gold coins. According to my estimate, in about six months, our monthly business tax can reach 500 gold coins!"

   "My report is over, Your Majesty!" Ezehi saluted Leiner again, and then put the documents in his hand on Leiner's desk.

Rainer nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with the commercial development in the territory. Although for him now, his own private industry is more profitable than tax collection, but as long as the northern border develops, all the transactions are not small. Playing a little trouble, at least can only fight against the tax court.

  Everything is due to insufficient population, otherwise Reiner can make a fortune by collecting taxes every month.

   What's more, although such commercial development is related to its own policies, it is also inseparable from the orders issued by Ezehi and the discussion and implementation of certain policies.

   After Ezehi retreated humbly, Earl Varas stood up and said he wanted to report the cavalry situation to Rainer.

   "Now we have all learned a lot of fighting skills from following us. Their fighting power no longer needs to be worried. Besides that, everything is normal for us, and there is no unexpected situation to report to you!"

This is indeed the case. Count Varas doesn’t need to be responsible for recruiting and training troops at all. Even those rebels, as long as they stay next to the real Scarlet Gryphon Riders for four months, they can have very good combat effectiveness. There is no particular need to report.

   After Earl Varas finished his report, Earl Leyland came up. He was in charge of more things than Earl Varas.

   Including the training of recruits and the implementation and training of the militia system, the maintenance of combat effectiveness of veterans, the maintenance and damage of weapons and armors, and the reporting and issuance of military payments, all of which he needs to be in charge.

  Earl Leyland has been carefully looking at the documents in his hand since just now, for fear that any mistakes and omissions might mislead His Majesty.

   After confirming that it was correct, Earl Leyland began to report to Rainer.

   "This is your Majesty, the exact number of ordinary infantry under your command is 2,489, and there are eight alliances, each with more than 300 people!"

   "From August last year to August this year, the wear rate of the armor of these eight companies was about 20%. A total of 8,800 armor pieces were replaced, and on average, each person replaced four!"

   "As for the maintenance of the chain armor is more complete, so there are not many that need to be repaired and ignore it for the time being!"

   "In addition, you also have 812 sergeants, two alliances, each of which has 400 people, and this number is still increasing!"

   "As for our militia retest personnel, there are 21,000 people, but their level is uneven, scattered in each village, waiting for your recruitment at any time."

"The number of our archers has not changed. Five hundred recurve archers and one hundred crossbowmen. However, in the militia we have two thousand registered legal hunters. They have obtained your hunting permission from your Majesty. Enlisting them into the army will soon become a qualified archer!"

   Then, Earl Cod stood up. As Rainer's palace, he was also the chief court minister, and he controlled most of the data in Rainer's territory.

   After he first reported major cases and trivial matters in the territory, he began to report the most important data, population!

"According to the census that we have made in the territories over the years in accordance with your orders from your majesty, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com until August 20th, there are a total of more than 367,000 people in your territory. , This number fluctuates up and down."

"Last month, according to statistics from the village elders and tax officials, there were 2,455 adult men in this year. In addition, our immigrants from all over the country also reached 8 per month. More than a hundred people!"

   After finishing speaking, Earl Cod looked at Rainer with a smile, and he was also very satisfied with the recent development of the North.

   And at this moment, Rainer realized that Logan was winking at him, and he immediately understood.

   "Well, I am very satisfied with the development of the territory, you should go out first, Logan, you stay!"

   After everyone was gone, Logan walked to Renner's side and took out another document from his arms.

"Your Majesty, according to your previous order to me, I have also established an intelligence network in your vassal's territory. At the same time, I also have a certain amount of information about their army. According to you three months ago you asked me to pay attention. I’ve got all the news!"

   Logan handed the document to Reiner, and said: "It's a pity that your majesty, what I have brought you is not good news. According to the information I have, the combat effectiveness of your vassals is gradually declining!"

"Now that the war period has passed, the lords think that there will be no more wars in the future. They think they have enough. They don't need to fight again for at least ten or twenty years. Therefore, they control the army. I relax a lot...Wenxiwutian!"
