As a result of the king's rule, Westminster's parchment was piled up, and Edgar seemed to have a combination of Norman paperwork and Saxon bureaucracy, demanding that everything from the cost of court banquets to the number of fishermen in the counties be recorded.

Naturally, this style was not popular with the lords and bishops everywhere, and the stricter the administration of London, the more their power was weakened, and out of various fears, the lords began to send their heirs to the court on their own initiative, so that they could serve the royal family and learn the state's governing skills. Edgar doesn't seem to be aware of his tendency to become the "Sun King", he is only preparing for his various plans, ambition is a terrible driving force that can influence the sharpest minds and drive humanity to greatness, or madness.

"Are you really sure?" In the cool hall, the king asked, in a tone of disconfidence that we could afford it?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, everything is done, and most of our efforts are here." The Privy Counsellor of Canterbury assured the King.

"You know, once the military tax is abolished, we can't go back."

The so-called heregeld, commonly known as "Danish gold", was abolished by Edward the Confessor, and later reinstated by the Normans, and Edgar inherited this system, which was an important source of income for the royal family during the long years of resistance to foreign invasions.

Danish gold was originally levied by King Ethelred to pay for a 45-ship Scandinavian mercenary army (lithsmen), but of course, the money did not prevent the mercenary leader who had long plundered Britain from abandoning the English at a critical moment. Before Edgar came to this era, he had always thought that the origin of the Royal Navy was King Alfred, but what he didn't know was that the English navy of this era had long relied on various northern mercenaries, and those butescarles also included Danes, Flemish and other foreign soldiers. Many of the counties in the South had three hundred Hyde estates for the provision of such mercenary fleets, which were naturally managed by the bishops of the various places.

Edgar intended to inherit some of the previous system, and in fact, his personal ascension to the throne was inseparable from these old systems, such as the part of the army that followed him for the longest time, the members of the fleet sent by King Harold to blockade the Normans on the shores of Hastings, and it was these warriors who supported him as king of England after the Battle of Hastings, and as for the armies of the two earls of Mokka and Edwin, most of them were in the far north.

"We will announce the canonization of the prince at once, and this reform will serve as a gift from the future king to all England." Edgar's words made everyone present feel a little excited and nervous, and the vision of this ambitious undertaking and the future of the kingdom spurred these English elites.

At the heart of the reform was the "Five-Port Alliance", in which the old Danish gold would be completely abolished, and the fleet of the future would be a sea force, no longer counted in the kingdom's land forces, which meant that many of the "mercenary sailors" stationed in London would return to their respective ports. The five major ports of Hastings, Romney, Hayes, Dover and Sandwich, as well as the coastal defense zone from Sussex to Kent, were included in the region, which enjoyed tax relief, supported the newly formed Royal Navy with all land and trade resources, shipyards in Plymouth and Portsmouth to take orders and build ships at the request of the King's Ministers, and all fleet organizations were also the obligations of the Coastal Zone.

In order to take control of this most important coastal area, Edgar will follow the example of King Alfred's successor, Edward the Elder, and canonize his heir to the throne, Prince Edmund, as the Earl of Kent, which will also serve as the exclusive title of heir to the throne in the future.

As the prince is still young, the administration of the fief will be the responsibility of the Bishop of Dover, and the Bishop of Canterbury will also be acting for the Bishop of Dover during the Archbishop's stay in London to assist the royal family. A regiment of royal cavalry guards was stationed at Dover Castle, commanded by the Danish guard Ulf, to support the Calais defense across the Channel.

The maritime defense north of the Humber River is still in the hands of the Earl of Northumbria for the time being, and the counties of York and Durham need to be restored to their share of coastal defense land above 300 Hydes this year, which needs to be supervised by the Earl of Mercia and the Earl of Northumbria, and the former territory of East Redding, the former land of the House of Thurbrand, will also be included in this system, and the Norman lords of these lands will henceforth be under the command of the Earl of Northumbria, and the military presence of the royal family in the north will be limited to York.

The compromise in northern affairs was to appease the lords of the regions, and in order to ensure the authority of the royal family, Edgar issued a series of decrees stipulating that no new forts should be built in the regions without permission, and that the lords of the royal castles must regularly serve at the court, and the royal family would regularly tour the north and meet with the lords in York, and if the king was not in the country, the queen or prince would act in his place. One of the most important of the entire defense system was that the king had the right to enter and use all castles, whether old or new.

The few exceptions were the newly conquered Welsh territories, which enjoyed the right of self-government to suppress the local Britons revolt, and the king intended to give Count Rodrigo the opportunity to act as king in Wales when he returned from his expedition, and to elevate Pembroke to a Palatine county to oversee the House of Mallet in northern Wales, the King of Trahne in the middle and even the Earl of Mercia in Chester; Then there was the Cumbria region where the Kingdom of England had weaker control: the heath northwest of the Pennines was dominated by the King of Alba, and the English controlled only the southern part of Westmoreland, where the lord Gus Patrick was at the Scottish court in Perth, and his territory covered the territory of the ancient kingdoms of Strathclyde and Golddeine, theoretically defended against the Irish Sea, but in practice as a buffer between the two kingdoms of England and Scotland.

The purpose of this series of reforms was mainly to increase the power of the sea, to change the disadvantages of previous kings who did not divide land and sea, and often lacked reliable fleets, and of course at the prince's canonization ceremony, only a new policy abolishing military taxes was announced.
