A hearty lunch, Tsepeš ate tasteless, and the dead Buraye was even more disgusting than when he was alive.

In order to get out of the psychological shadow, Tsepeš left the banquet hall and went to the office in the palace.

From the moment he took on the crown, it became, the place where he went about his daily affairs.

In his memory, there were always many people in the corridor outside the office door, waiting for his father to summon him.

According to the memory fragments in the original owner's brain and his own historical knowledge, on the way to the office, Tsepeş summed up what he needed to do as a grand duke.

In the 15th century, as the ruler of an independent regime, there were four main things that needed to be done.

First, dealing with military affairs, which is also the focus of the priorities.

Many times, whether you are an archduke or a king, you need to personally lead your troops to fight.

It also happens from time to time that the ruler of a country dies on the battlefield.

Just like in the Battle of Varna four years ago, the Polish and Hungarian king, Władysław III, was beheaded by the Ottomans.

Within minutes of coming into this world, Tepes was ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.

It was precisely because of this that he made the first step in his plan to kill the Ottomans around him.

Second, it deals with government affairs, including day-to-day affairs and meetings.

Day-to-day matters are handled in the office, either by yourself or by the Prime Minister and other subordinate officials.

Meetings are held in the chamber, usually once or once a month or two, and at any time if there is an emergency.

At that time, the important people who can be present will participate and put forward their own opinions.

Within three days, Tepes would convene his first council to convey the new decree to all the nobles.

Third, to deal with diplomatic and social affairs, in view of the current situation in Wallachia, both diplomatic and social affairs are urgent.

Internally, he socialized with the nobles and held banquets, balls, hunting, and other entertainment events to consolidate his dominance.

Externally, it is necessary to deal with foreign kings, and through diplomatic means, avoid conflicts and make allies.

To fight the Ottomans, it was necessary to stabilize the situation at home and at the same time find reliable allies abroad.

In this regard, Tepes has a plan, believing that he will definitely keep the Ottomans out of the country and stabilize the situation at home and abroad.

Finally, the ruler has to deal with religious and family affairs, both of which for the time being are not to be dealt with by Cepes.

In family affairs, there is Madame Maria, who, with her wisdom, will certainly not let the backyard catch fire.

In religious matters, Patriarch Apaca, in order to resist the invasion of Catholics and pagans, would certainly enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with Cepes.

After analyzing everything in his mind, Cepes was already standing at the door of his office.

Pushing open the wooden door and stepping on the soft wool carpet, the first thing that catches your eye is a portrait.

The hero of the portrait is Tsepes's father, the previous owner of the office, Vlad II.

Soon, the portrait of the Grand Duke of the Dragon, like the portraits of the other ancestors of the family, will be hung in the showroom.

The vacated space will be hung with a portrait of Tsepeš, a tradition of the Basarab family for many years.

To avoid being sentimental, Tsepes's gaze swept over the portrait and looked elsewhere.

Quaint display shelves, polished shiny armor, Roman broadsword symbolizing honor, priceless enamel ornaments......

His gaze swept over everything, and finally his gaze rested on the crimson solid wood desk.

Behind the desk, there was a chair that looked very comfortable, and the scene of the ancestors of the Basarab family sitting on it flashed through his mind.

As a doer, Cepes didn't spend too much time admiring office décor.

A minute into the office, he sat down at his desk, picked up a quill soaked in black ink, and scribbled on vellum paper.

At the moment, there is a lot to write down, a policy of reform internally, secret letters to potential allies.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and a thick pile of brown paper was filled with words.

Safe Water Ordinance, Emergency Conscription Decree, Agricultural Guidance Guidelines......

Some of the decrees will be issued immediately, while others are not yet ripe for the time being, so it is necessary to choose an appropriate time to issue them.

Leaning back in his chair and stretching out comfortably, Tsepes read what he had just written down to see if there was anything that needed to be added.

Making sure there was no big deal, he opened a locked drawer, locked the papers, and pulled a long velvet rope behind him near the wall.

"Your Excellency, Mushad awaits your command."

The crisp bell rang, and the court attendants who were guarding the door immediately opened the door and came in, bowing down, waiting for Cepes's orders.

"Go and call the Prime Minister and ask him to bring his financial and military documents."

Although there is a development plan, if you want to implement it, you must have a full understanding of the current situation.

It is necessary to find out how much gold is in the treasury, how much grain is in the barn, how many military forts there are in the country, and how many soldiers are in the military forts.

Rather than slowly understanding these things yourself, it is better to directly find someone who understands them to ask.

As a collateral member of the family, Duke Da'an, has been prime minister for five years.

Judging from the current signs, his cousin, who can be trusted for the time being, has naturally become the object of Tsepes's consultation.

The waiter answered, bowed down and exited the door, and went to do what Tsepes had commanded.

"Wait a minute, those nobles in Sunset Square, is anyone looking for me?"

"There are a few nobles who have come here to look for you, but you have instructed not to let anyone disturb you, so a few nobles have waited at the door for a while and then left."

"Is the list registered?"

The waiter who guards the door of the office, in addition to being the lord's male servant, also plays the role of a part of the secretary.

Musad immediately replied:

"The list has been registered, do you need to look at it now?"

"Not for now, let's go to the Prime Minister and keep the list.

If there are still nobles coming later, there is no need to report them, just turn them away, and then record the list.

If someone comes over more than once, just record it once you come, don't be too troublesome. ”

A simple approach can do a good job of figuring out who is most pressing to express your heartfelt feelings.

It can also invisibly put pressure on everyone to feel that they are not as important as they think.

The waiter, Moussad, nodded and bowed and left the office.

Outside the door, there were three other attendants, and Mussad was their little leader.

A few meters away, against a small table on the other side of the hallway, was his office.

Like some less important errands, he wouldn't go in person, so another attendant went to Duke Da'an.

Because the content of Tsepesh's inquiry involved a lot of specific data, Duke Da'an sorted through it for about half an hour before he came to the office with a briefcase full of documents.
