The scorching summer sun swayed on the ground, bringing unbearable heat to the ground, and except for some residents who were reluctant to go out of their rooms, their domestic animals were also lying lazily on the ground. Fastest updates

The sheepfolds were snorting and chirping, and the people in charge of raising them were busy shearing their sheep.

Wool was not useless, it could be made into warm clothing such as felt hats, and William gave the lime degreasing method to the shepherds in the territory to dispose of it.

Now about forty percent of the livestock in William's domain does not belong to William, and the residents have used their own efforts to buy the property in the village, that is, William's property.

William did not feel that his property had been violated, on the contrary, he was happy to see such a thing come to pass, the so-called impermanence has no perseverance, which would not only stimulate the self-motivation of the people and make them work hard to have more property, but also increase William's own income, after all, he would never lack these cattle, sheep and livestock with a pasture.

In the four years since he received the Zaremu pasture and the 60 km pasture, he already has a property of 50,000 sheep and 8,000 cattle, and this is not counting the number of cattle and sheep scattered in the villages and estates.

As a result, William's territory was now in full swing, and even some sheep keepers sold their own wool products at the nearby market set up by William.

The prosperity of William's territory was never just about having enough food in the villages, he valued communication and circulation, the profits brought by trade were very large, and it was also a good policy for the people to understand each other, so it was William's special order to set up a market near several villages.

In the early days of the unification of Düllenburg, basically all of it was in deficit for a year or two, because it was necessary to build infrastructure on this huge land spanning 250 kilometers from north to south and 200 kilometers from east to west, including hospitals, fire canals, warehouses, cattle and horse sheds, taverns, post houses, and small strongholds such as arrow towers to strengthen control over the territory.

In addition, the mill used for grinding in the village, the watchtower that could be turned into a commanding height for the militia to defend, the waterwheels and canals for irrigation of the farmland, all of which had to be paid for by William himself, and besides, the cost of training, food, and equipment for the militia, and the salaries and bounties of the soldiers, all of which were very large expenses.

Moreover, all the doctors in the hospital do not charge for consultation, and only when they need medicinal materials, they need to pay for medicine.

And if the family conditions of the people are too poor, they will be given a reduction or exemption of the drug fee as appropriate, and even for the sake of his own reputation, William also asked the hospital to reduce some medicine fees if they meet outsiders who are really suffering, which are all places where William has to pay.

Therefore, William's income is now divided into several parts, one is the agricultural tax paid by the serfs, in fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is an agricultural tax, they are actually farming for William, leaving some grain as rations.

The agricultural tax brought William about 100,000 silver coins a year, and the second was the commercial tax, plus his own towns and castles, as well as the customs duties of the territory, so that the merchants who came and went in Denlenburg could pay a lot less tax than in other regions, and a large number of merchants came and went to the trade routes of Denlenburg, to villages, estates, castles, cities, and bazaars to sell their goods.

Every year, William can collect 120,000 silver coins, as well as honey, vodka, and some other export products officially operated by William, and he can get about 180,000 silver coins every year.

Up to now, William's annual income has reached 400,000 silver coins, more than the royal family that has lost many territories, and even at the peak of King Brolin's reign, the annual income of the Kingdom of Tskema was only 750,000 silver coins.

However, although William was rich, his expenses also became larger, and William was indeed able to save a lot of money in the past, and now his treasury still has more than 300,000 silver coins and a large amount of supplies, all of which are air-dried meat and other food that is easy to preserve.

That's enough food for three years for the 350,000 inhabitants of Denlenburg, and that's not counting the food in the hands of the lords themselves, and the grain production of one county in Denlenburg exceeds the grain production of the entire kingdom.

William's assets were abundant, but he now had a new territory, Issamdenburg, which was about two-thirds of Denlenburg.

Isamdenburg was devastated by the war, and the people were also expropriated by the Earl of Cansville, and were greatly hurt, so to speak, the current Isamdenburg is a withering, if it were not for Vidal to bring a batch of food when he went, I am afraid that Isamdenburg would really starve to death.

Since Issamdenburg was in ruins, William had to invest heavily in the infrastructure and the quality of the people and property, which would undoubtedly put a huge burden on William's finances.

But fortunately, William can really be said to be wealthy, he earned 400,000 when he didn't occupy Issamdenburg before, and last year there were about 100,000 silver coins that could be deposited in the treasury, which is the last amount to be deposited in the treasury after counting all the expenses.

This year, 20,000 silver coins will be deposited in the treasury, which is already thankful, and there may be a fiscal deficit, and the savings in the treasury will have to be used.

But it's all worth it, after the construction of Issamdenburg is completed, there will definitely be a lot of food to be obtained, not to mention, with the addition of Issamdenburg, the market in Wilhelm's territory will be larger, which can attract more and larger merchants to invest and do business here.

When the time comes, it will not be a matter of making money little by little, but a lot of money, and having money means having an army, and having an army means that it is strong, and when the time comes, it is up to him to expand or intervene, and even if it is to build a country, it is not impossible.

While William was dreaming of a bright future in his study, Baron Reims knocked on the door of his study, and since Baron Vidal went to Issamdenburg, Baron Reims became William's chief interior officer.

As for Kenos, although he also has talents in this area, he mainly focuses on law and court, and there is still a gap between him and Baron Reims in business and territorial construction.

"Come in!" William looked at the beaming Baron Reims who came in and couldn't help asking, "What happened?" Why are you so happy? ”

Baron Reims said happily: "Yes, my lord, the orcs you asked us to domesticate before have finally succeeded, and they have been able to do some simple work with simple tools!" ”

"For example, mining, hammering stones, or plowing the fields, they are all competent, and the domestication time will be about a month and three months depending on the degree of tediousness!"

Baron Reims was pleased, for he knew how much William valued these orcs.
