At the dawn of early summer, the sky seems to be smeared with all kinds of paints, red and yellow.

On May 3rd, the heads of the villages in the Qinghuang Territory, taking advantage of the coolness in the air at dawn, began to rush to the Qinghuang Castle.

The meeting chaired by the Baron himself will be held this morning, and though the chiefs of the village do not know the Baron's intentions for holding the meeting so early, there is no fool who would dare not come.

At Belea's urging, Alan washed up and began to rush to the council chamber, regretting that he had booked the meeting too early.

The members of the meeting were sitting in a precarious position, and all nine village chiefs were present.

Jinmai Village, village chief Farr

Carp Village, village chief Hodder

Shangmai Village, village chief Wilfa

Xiamai Village, village chief Dika

Fengguo Village, Village Chief Binge

Kondo Village, village chief Wiley

Zilu Village, village chief Xia Li

Gumai Village, village chief Charla

Gaomai Village, Village Chief Foss

Administrative Officer, Fabia

Adjutant of Justice, Tings

Vice-Captain of the Cavaliers Squad, Antonio

Butler, Carey

This is also regarded as the 14 generals in Allen's territory.

"I shall now call the meeting to order. ”

"For the sake of the rapid development of the territory, I will make some changes to the territory, if you have any questions about me, you can ask directly. Alan said.

Then Alan began to talk about his plans.

"From today onwards, the administrative office will be split, the territorial tax will be separated from the administrative office, and the financial office will be organized, with Kerry Steward as the financial officer. Fabia continued to serve as an administrative officer. Alan said expressionlessly.

"Yes. Butler Carey said.

Everyone present was shocked, but their faces were suppressed to prevent their emotions from being revealed.

On the contrary, it was the political magistrate Fabier, who looked relieved and did not mind his rights being divided at all.

"Each village will change differently depending on the situation. ”

As Alan continued, the various village chiefs listened nervously.

"In Jinmai Village, Shangmai Village, Xiamai Village, Fengmai Village and Gaomai Village, since the civilians are all growing wheat, each family needs to leave 5 acres of land for planting Cordyceps repellent and lavender after the wheat harvest in June. ”

"Since most of the villages in Liyu and Kondo are fishermen, there are no families, and each household only needs one acre of land to grow insecticides and lavender. Fengguo Village and Zigu Village are two acres each. ”

After Allen finished speaking, the nine village chiefs all looked suspicious.

Finally, the head of Jinmai Village stubbornly asked: "Lord Baron, Cordyceps repellent and lavender are weeds that can be found everywhere, and they have no value......

"I know what you are worried about, rest assured, after the villagers plant it, in addition to the forty percent of the tax, the other six cost barons will let the Kerry financial officer come forward to buy it. Well, yes...... You heard me right, I'm going to cut the tax rate from 50% to 40%. "The village chiefs were incredulous at what they heard.

In order to develop the territory rapidly, Allen decided to find another way, relying on the economic development of the agricultural territory alone, and the life of the people under the territory was too slow and the tax rate was too high.

It happened that there were too many mosquitoes in the summer, which made Alan tired of it, and Alan then remembered to make mosquito coils.

Taking advantage of the luck that he had finally saved up in the past few days, Alan purposefully searched for a mosquito coil making plan and a flame wheat cultivation plan.

Before the appearance of mosquito nets in this world, there were only some primitive plant repellent methods, and in the summer, the aristocratic rooms were full of insect repellent potted plants.

Unless you become a high-ranking knight with 2,000 kilograms of great strength and block bugs with the ability to release elements, you will not be able to get rid of the pesky bugs.

Therefore, mosquito coils are an opportunity for the development of the territory. The most important thing is that the core adhesive formula for mosquito coil production is in Allen's hands, so even if others know that the mosquito coil formula has cordycapsule and lavender, there is nothing they can do.

"I hope you will carry it out thoroughly, this is a major event related to the development of the territory. ”

"In addition, from today onwards, at least three public toilets will be built in each village, and open defecation and defecation will be prohibited. Fabia, at least ten in Qinghuang Town!"

"Hmm...... If it is not excreted in the specified place, it will be caught once, and the tax rate will return to 50%. Advocate reporting, and those who report successfully will be rewarded. ”

Alan can't stand the smell anymore, and the civilians of this world don't like to be clean and excrete waste everywhere. This is also the reason why the world is so contagious.

"The next thing is the military aspect, the army will not be expanded for the time being, but the expansion is certain, the village chiefs will spread the news, let the young men work hard and prepare in advance. ”

Antonio's frustrated expression flickered, but he was also overjoyed to hear that the army was being expanded.

Eren is ready to expand the army by the Breakthrough Knights, and there is no money in the realm to expand the army now.

The old baron only left 3 small boxes of gold coins for Allen, about three hundred gold dragons, at first Alan thought it was too much, but after careful calculation, he found that it was pitiful.

The currencies used in this world are divided into gold, silver, and copper, all of which are directly refined and forged from metal ores into coins the size of bull's eyes.

The gold coin is called the Golden Dragon, the silver coin is called the Silver Deer, and the copper coin is called the Copper Fish. One golden dragon is equal to one hundred, and the silver deer is equal to ten thousand copper fish.

A soldier needs to consume 1 pound of grain a day, 365 pounds of grain a year, and now a pound of grain needs 3 copper fish, a soldier costs 1095 copper fish a year, and a cavalry needs 3 pounds of grain a day.

In this way, the 200 people in the current territory will cost about 32 gold dragons per year for food alone, not counting the replacement of weapons and equipment and the wear and tear of horses.

Alan was originally going to expand the army by another 300 people, but just thinking about Alan made his legs weak.

Alan has no plans to expand his army until this year's tax forfeiture comes up.

Alan will not complain that the old baron spent all the money in previous years, after all, the cultivation of low-level knights requires elemental spars, and one will be sold for a hundred gold dragons, and the money in the past is probably used by the old baron to buy spars.

——

After the meeting ended, Fabia shook his chubby body and walked out of the castle gate.

"Wait, Your Excellency!"

Fabia looked back, and his deputy, Tings, walked towards him.

"Your Excellency, the Administrative Office has been split, is there any dissatisfaction with the Administrative Office, Your Excellency? Tings whispered.

"Don't worry, what if I don't split it up?" Fabia said with a squinting smile.

Looking at the dazed Tingsi, Fabia raised his head proudly. "When you understand, you can take my place. ”

Fabia ignored him and continued to walk towards home on a rocky back.

Although Alan really wants to replace Fabia, after all, the position of the political officer is very important, and it is best to grasp it in the hands of someone he trusts.

Fabiah is too oily and is not his favorite candidate, but for the sake of Mrs. Lisa's face, he can't do too much, and Fabia's age can't do it for long.

Complex things are distributed to subordinates.

Alan came to the location of the Flame Wheat and dug out all the fire elemental crystals buried in it, and the Flame Wheat did not change during this time, and the same was true for the fire elemental crystals.

In fact, Alan should have thought a long time ago that if it was so simple, the magical plants in other noble realms would not grow so slowly.

Of course, Alan was very glad that he had the Origin Bead access function, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the recipe for cultivating Flame Wheat.

Most of the ingredients in the recipe are very long-term, only ten fire elemental crystals are more valuable, and I have exactly twelve.

With the materials gathered, Alan began this potion configuration called "Fire Element Essence".
