While waiting for the two of them, William began to browse through the various papers on the table that Vidal and Kenos had placed here after learning that William was about to return.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the two entered the study with William's permission.

"My lord, some of the things we can't handle lately have all been on your desk!" Vidal said.

Kenos also said: "On your left hand are some cases that have been more difficult to deal with recently and involve more people, I don't dare to deal with them casually, so I will press them down and wait for you to deal with them together!" ”

As he spoke, Kenos handed William the stack of reports in his hand, who took them, skimmed them briefly, and placed them on his desk.

Vidal waited until Kenos was finished, put the thicker-looking stack of papers in his hand on the desk, and said, "My lord, these are the dossiers of everything that has happened since you left until now!" ”

"The detailed treatment methods are all recorded on it, and we have reported the expenditure of more than five thousand silver coins in a single transaction to Madame, and there is also a record of Tus anywhere!"

These are the basic processes formulated by William, as the soul of Lao from the Celestial Empire, he has seen too many kings who have been set aside by his courtiers, and he will never allow the people under his command to do such a thing, so he has formulated such a plan based on what he has seen and heard in his previous life.

Anyway, Wella is her own wife, both glory and loss, and in the customs of the Holy Sect world, the lord's wife herself is responsible for these things.

Vidal seems to have a lot of power, far more than Kenos, he is responsible for some financial expenditures, he is also responsible for basic regional construction, and even some people's livelihood issues are also responsible for him, and his power is far greater than that of Kenos, who is only responsible for justice.

However, all this is only on the surface, Vidal is also an aristocrat, but what does the authority and power of the nobility in this era come from?

It's the army! Nobles without an army have no deterrent at all, don't look at Vidal who looks powerful, but without William's favor, then he will not even be as good as a dog.

William didn't have to worry about him being able to bite back, because Tuth's Dark Dagger was also supervising some, and the Dark Dagger was also supervising each other with the assassins led by Ariel, and if one of them did something bad to William, they would immediately take action.

And Vidal can also control their funds to a certain extent, so to speak, these three parties are supervising each other, and William is ruling under such an intricate supervision relationship.

However, William also began to feel that Vidal did have too much power, and he planned to disperse the power concentrated on Vidal.

After all, Vidal's affairs, if you put it in the Celestial Empire, that is, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the two Shangshu, as for the military department, it must be in charge of William, and the diplomacy of the Ministry of Rites is also William's own business, and the Ministry of Punishment should be counted on the body of Kenos, and the Ministry of Officials is also under William's own jurisdiction, so he plans to divide part of Vidal's rights.

Let him specialize in handling people's livelihood finances, or only govern buildings, and give him some rights to participate in government decrees, in short, it is not enough to let him manage so many things.

On the military side, William also intends to hand over the rights of the infantry, anyway, the Denlenburg infantry have enough brainwashing, and all of them are loyal to him.

At the beginning of the establishment of the column, military judges similar to political commissars were set up, so that they could brainwash the soldiers, which was similar to the rank commander in wartime and the political commissar in peacetime.

Without the permission of the second son and third son of the knight family of the inner palace, or the children of the squire and aristocratic family, the military governor must not use more than one team of troops, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, and the rest of the training, logistics supply, and brainwashing of the soldiers ensure the absolute loyalty of this army he built to him.

The absolute loyalty of the army also represents the absolute stability of William's authority and rule.

With the growth of the population, the breeding of livestock, the cultivation of arable land has become more and more, with the help of ploughing cattle and advanced agricultural tools, reclamation has become much easier, and now more than half of the entire Denlenburg area, except for the forest, has been developed into farmland.

This is already an extremely remarkable achievement for Lorde, a people who are also an agrarian civilization, after all, the territories of other nobles are still maintained at a reclamation rate of more than ten percent.

Although there are only one million people in such a large piece of land, it is still very good, don't look at the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people in a province of the Celestial Empire in the future, but the yield per mu of the field is different.

With the high-yielding rice developed by the Great Druid Master Yuan, there are too many people who can feed them, and even then, the Celestial Empire only supplies 90% of its own food.

Now this is almost seven or eight times the yield, and even if the whole of Denglenburg were completely cultivated, the population that could be supported would not exceed eight million.

Agriculture aside, animal husbandry has also been developing well recently, and there have been quite a few pregnancies in the month he has been gone, and it is estimated that the number will increase by about 20 percent again this summer.

As far as business is concerned, from the time he left, until the end of this month, the commercial throughput and commercial tax of William's domain have increased by about 8%, and his own taverns, inns, blacksmith shops, and other shops have also increased considerably.

And his vodka drinking honey has also improved a lot with the spread of his reputation, but honey is not exclusive to him after all, so he plans to continue to think of the most competitive product to sell.

In this way, it can not only increase its own income, but also indirectly attract businessmen to purchase goods, and further promote business development.

There are now nine cities with more than 10,000 people in William's territory, all of which were built by William.

In other places, commercial market towns began to appear spontaneously gathered by merchants, which was an inevitable thing after the development of commerce.

In the past five months, Vidal has set up three commercial towns one level lower than the city with the permission of Wella, all of which are towns with a floating population of about 1,000 to 3,000 people, and the higher level of transactions is still taking place in those nine cities.

Of course, Dellenburg, which is more developed than those cities, is not to be counted, and this is the capital of Wilhelm.

However, another report caught William's attention, and Vidal looked at it and began to say to William: "This is an adult, in fact, this situation has been going on for a long time. ”

"But in the last two years it has become apparent, as our business has grown, more and more people are attracted by the remuneration of the dismissal of merchants, and some even give up their farmland to become workers, because it makes more wealth than farming!"
