Heidi was a little excited, after all, foreign caravans are highly mobile, and often slip away before they have time to collect taxes, and if this policy is implemented, it will not only promote trade in the territory, but also increase tax revenue.

Renard didn't disturb Heidi's train of thought, took a sip of tea from the cup in front of her, and waited for her to ask again.

However, unexpectedly, the other party was much more courageous than he imagined, and Heidi directly decided: "Well, from today onwards, a new tax policy will be implemented in the territory." ”

Seeing this, Renard hurriedly stopped: "Wait, there is something that must be arranged in advance, otherwise the tax policy will not be implemented at all." ”

Heidi frowned when she heard this: "What's the matter?"

Renard patted his forehead helplessly: "Of course, it is to count the population in the current territory, and register all the people who are willing to join the county of Meredith, so that it is easy to collect taxes." ”

Immediately afterwards, he added: "There is also the need to re-measure the land, otherwise how to determine how much agricultural tax each household should pay, and then to count the number of merchants, the size of the shops, and the goods sold, so that there are no loopholes as much as possible." ”

When Heidi heard this, her head instantly grew twice: "Do you have the right person to carry out these tasks?"

Hearing him ask, Renard suddenly smiled: "Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't be in the mood to talk here." ”

With that, he shouted outside the door, "Get all in." ”

After that, there were nine people lined up outside the door who walked in, and it was the nine doglegs who followed Lei Ye first, and they all saluted and shouted, "I've seen the master's mother." ”

Heidi's expression was embarrassed when she heard this, and she immediately reminded, "You can call me Count Heidi, or Lord Heidi." ”

The nine people pretended not to hear, and looked at Lei Ye again in unison.

Renard cleared his throat and asked in a serious tone, "Do you have the confidence to complete the task you said yesterday?" ”

The nine people shouted in unison: "Have faith!"

Reynard applauded: "Okay, I will then hand over all the reservists to you, and make sure that the population is counted and registered within three months, and the land and shops must be measured, and the total value of the goods in the shops must also be checked." ”

The nine people patted their chests hard and promised: "Obey!"

Renard waved his hand in satisfaction: "Okay, get out, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly." ”

He then looked at Heidi and asked, "Do you think they can do this?"

Heidi thought for a moment and smiled, "You can do it if you think it's okay." ”

Well, this woman is also learning to be smart now.

After the order was issued, the nine doglegs immediately went out with the reservists, and the first thing to solve was the census, which was also the easiest thing to solve, and no one dared to hide it in this regard.

The black households of this world are even more terrible than the original world, and the absence of identity means that the origin is unknown, and the lord can be arrested at will, labeled as untouchables, and enslaved his children and grandchildren.

Therefore, if you want to survive in this world, it is most necessary to have an identity.

The homeless people expressed the most positive attitude towards this statistic, they were outsiders after all, and it would be great if they could be recognized by the county of Meredith and make their home here.

And the nobles who deeply hated this were the nobles who came to take refuge, who had only felt dissatisfied before, but now dared to jump out and openly oppose it.

A certain viscount gathered a dozen or so people, and angrily came to the lord Xingshi to ask for the crime: "This is a very shameful plunder, you must know that those are our people. ”

Renard, who was on official business, said that he could not help: "If you really think so, please go back to the territory with your own people." ”

He stood up and looked around at everyone present, and sneered: "According to the regulations of the Arthurian Kingdom during wartime, during the war, any lord who leaves the territory for any reason except for the king's order is deemed to have automatically relinquished the ownership of the territory. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the official letter on the table: "This is an order issued by His Majesty the King half a year ago, and the Kingdom of Arthur has entered a state of war since the date of this order, and the duration is three months.

Renard slapped the official letter on the table: "You don't even have a territory now, where are the people from the people." ”

Hearing this, the surrounding lords' momentum suddenly weakened a little.

Before the leading viscount could speak, Renard said, "Of course, I also know that they used to be your people, and we have feelings for a long time. ”

The crowd did not speak, but waited for him to continue.

Lei Ye smiled: "Otherwise, I will allow you to build a manor on the newly reclaimed land in the Rich City, and each person will be given five hundred acres of fertile land without paying taxes, but the landowner is still the Meredith family, and you are only responsible for helping to take care of it." ”

The nobles looked at each other when they heard this, this is probably the best way to deal with it, although they have lost their land and people, but they still have a small family property, and if they take care of the manor with heart, they can barely live a decent life.

Seeing that everyone was a little moved, Renard immediately struck while the iron was hot: "After this village, there will be no such shop." ”

"I agree. "I agree. ”“......”

The nobles scrambled to nod their heads, long forgetting their original intentions.

After the nobles left, Heidi quietly popped up from the office, she walked up to Lei Ye to help massage her temples, and asked curiously, "What bad idea are you playing again?"

Renard coughed dryly, "Where's it?"

Heidi showed a playful expression: "I don't think you are such a selfless person, you don't say that you have to do as much work as you want, you give them 500 acres of fertile land, this is not a small amount." ”

Lei Ye was speechless, he found that this woman was really getting smarter and smarter, which was not a good sign.

So he said stiffly: "I really just want to help them, after all, my father, Baron Hammidon, and Teacher Howard have also lost their territory, and as a son, I have to let him have something to rely on." ”

Heidi took a deep breath, then paced the small hall before tentatively analyzing, "You are going to disperse them to the edge of the county of Meredith, and you want them to act as a bridgehead against the demon army, they have soldiers and guards in their hands, it is indeed a good choice. ”

"These nobles can also help us manage the displaced people who have cultivated the farmland, after all, this was once their lord, and it will definitely be obedient, and we can withdraw the few infantry squads responsible for protecting the farmers. ”

There was a glint of wisdom in her eyes: "The most important thing is that if they can stand firm, you can build the Acropolis of the City of Plenty on this basis." ”

Why is a woman's intuition always so accurate?
