Chapter 257: Appointment of the Mayor

The knights of the Inner Mansion are all elite knights who drag their families with their families, first, William needs to use their families to bind them, and secondly, they also need to fight for their families.

Needless to say, as William's direct control of the most elite knight troops, the equipment of the knights in the inner palace will definitely be much better than that of ordinary knights.

Although all the knights are commanders of William, and Norwin only has temporary command of the battlefield, in close relationships, there are also distant and close relatives, and in the elite troops, they must also be divided into descendants and non-descendants.

Moreover, it has been agreed with the Chekels that their high-quality iron will be delivered next month, although due to the restrictions on the exchange of items, the quantity will not be very large, but it will definitely be supplied to the knights of the Inner Mansion first.

There is no doubt about it!

As for the one hundred and fifty vassal knights, they were not treated as well as the knights of the inner province, they only had a salary of thirty silver coins per Chinese New Year's Eve, and they had to sign a contract with William for life.

In this way, William will provide them with what they deserve, such as excellent armor and equipment, and war horses, otherwise William will never spend money to arm a group of knights who can flee at any time.

Although the contract may not necessarily swim, it is at least a constraint, and when the time comes, they will take over their families and children, and they will be almost in control.

In the end, forty knights of the inner house, one hundred knights of the official fief, and one hundred and fifty vassal knights were finally fully assembled.

There are a total of 290 knights, who are directly subordinate to William, plus the knights of those vassals, the knights will not be more than the number of knights during the reign of the Count of Loire, after all, there are not many nobles handwashed by William.

The knights of the Inner House spent their days in the barracks, while in another large barracks built outside the city, there were trained heavy cavalry and Manders infantry, as well as light infantry and sword and shield infantry.

Despite the fact that William had recruited a lot of knights now, he still wanted a large number of heavy cavalry troops, because their expenses would not be so large, and their combat effectiveness would not be much worse than that of the knights.

Compared with the heavy cavalry, the only advantage of the knights may be the power of foot combat, and I have to admit that the knights can indeed crush the heavy cavalry in foot combat.

However, if William had the time and energy, he might as well train a group of heavy infantry with better hand-to-hand combat ability, so this was almost the last wave of knights that William recruited.

The soldiers were training in full swing, the territory was receiving more and more quickly, and William's control over the entire territory was becoming more and more solid.

He walked on the catch, looked at the bustling crowd in the castle, and an idea suddenly germinated in his heart.

That's the police and the fire brigade, after all, a city of this size is already very little resistant to these disasters.

Although William quickly moved the rules of the Mendes area to the area, such as the prohibition of open defecation, littering, and dumping of dirty water, fires are still quite difficult to extinguish in any case.

There is also the security in the city, some villains, drunkards, and petty theft in the city can be said to be very numerous, which has caused very serious damage to the security of the entire city.

William had seen citizens being bullied more than once, and what William needed was an order, an order to be enforced inside the castle.

And William, as the controller of the territory, he can't always keep his eyes on Dülenburg under his nose, so an organization that guards crime and fights crime for him must be created.

As for the Dark Dagger, as a spy organization, even if it is said that the sky is broken, William will not give them the right to arrest people at will.

"Hello, Dear Tax Collector!"

William sat on a chair and watched the surrounding citizens look at the world, and several citizens and small traders watched the tax collectors passing by on the road bow and salute.

The tax collector didn't say much, but nodded around in response to them, and hurried to his place.

When he was gone, one of the citizens took off his hat and said to the people around him, "This is the kindest adult I have ever met!" ”

"No, I heard that the Earl asked them not to be arrogant with us, not to scold us! If you want me to say, it's all the work of the Earl! ”

"Yes, I have also heard that Lord Earl wishes to be able to treat us people well, what a kind nobleman, may the Holy Father bless Lord Count and his family for a long time, so that my grandson can also enjoy this treatment!"

William listened to their discussion and nodded involuntarily, it seemed that Vidal had meticulously conveyed and carried out his orders.

It can be seen from the attitude of the residents of Denlenburg towards them that they have already won the hearts and minds of the people in the Denlenburg area, and the opinions of the nobles are no longer too important.

After returning to the castle, William told Vidal and Kenos about his ideas, and Kenos, as an expert in internal affairs, quickly received William's appreciation for his talents.

He came from a professional background, not the result of Vidal's experience in doing things, and the two of them were now a reference for William before he wanted to issue internal orders.

After listening to William's idea, the two couldn't help but express their agreement, after all, the problem that William was worried about did exist.

The lawless elements inside the castle are unstable, and they really need to be thoroughly investigated and guarded against, and the hidden dangers are strangled to death from the source, which is the right way.

And just after listening to William's idea, Kenos said thoughtfully: "My lord, I think our two towns are similar to Denlenburg, I think we need to manage them well!" ”

After listening to this, William said with great interest: "Since this is the case, then you should go and be the mayor of Czoro Town for me, you can't govern me well!" ”

"Vidal, you too, you go to Sutton Town in the north, both of which are also very commercially developed, so I want you to be able to use their potential!"

At the behest of William's side, Vidal and Kenos mounted their horses, took their servants, and headed for their respective places.

William was not surprised by this situation, the graduation from Kenos University, coupled with those travels, was in itself a manifestation of the ability of a high school.

Of course, he knew that Kenos would not be in the castle at ease, so he was in charge of it as a translator who was trending all day long.

Men need power, so William gave them the financial power of both towns.

Except for the town guards who don't listen to their chiefs, they can be said to be half the emperors of their respective towns.

Both castles have their own characteristics, and William only hopes that they will improve and produce more wealth.
