Counting the strength at William's disposal, including territory, military, religious and commercial aspects, accounting for more than half of the county of Evre, it can be said that William has the strength to control the county of Evre.

In terms of territories, William owned three subordinate territories, including Barony Vernon, Parish of Lischel, and Barony Wexon, and indirectly controlled the Barony of Alençon through Baron Adolf, whose territory was more than three-fifths of the total area of the county of Evreux.

Due to the devastating blow to the original knights and merchants in several baronies, a large amount of manor land was taken over by William, and after a small number of manor estates were divided, the total number of manors on William's hands had exceeded 350, and the cultivated area reached more than 400,000 acres, accounting for about three-quarters of the total arable land area of the four baronies.

Judging from the population of the territory, the total population of the four baronies has exceeded 250,000, and the number of young men is more than 100,000, and the vast majority of these populations are in William's hands, even if a small part belongs to the noble knights under William, but William also has a way to call it.

Of course, William's territorial strength cannot be viewed only from the territory and cultivated land area and the number of people, just from the perspective of the yield per mu of William's estate, the average yield of 150 catties of cultivated land per city is more than double the grain output of other regions.

Relying on the high price of grain in the Middle Ages at this time, William was able to support more than 5,000 regular troops, more than 40 dragon-headed warships, more than 1,200 naval troops, 4,000 standing militia, 6,000 reserve militia, and more than 300 administrative officials just by selling the grain produced in the estate.

Speaking of military strength, including the upcoming 3rd Infantry Regiment and a separate cavalry battalion, William's standing army would reach 7,800 men, plus 4,000 standing militia that could be mobilized at any time, and the huge army of 12,000 men would almost match the military strength of the counties of Mortan, Rouen, and Urburg combined.

William's military generals led the whole army, Sir Hubert, and Andrew Commander, who commanded the Guard. Knight Dalton, Knight Farle Osborne, Sir Ronald, Knight Nelson, Knight Jeffrey, and Captain Daniel in charge of the Alençon military, Knight Ferdinand in charge of part of the garrison in Barony of Wexon, Sir Rodrigo and Bruce in charge of the parish of Lysor. Dalton Knights, Brad. Anderson Cavaliers, Austin. Hugh waited.

In terms of William's military strength alone, by the next year, that is, after 1037, William was completely unafraid of the alliance of Kay, Earl of Mortan, William the Younger, Earl of Auburg, and the rebellious nobles of Normandy.

However, William did not fully attack Cay and others because he was worried that forces outside the Duchy of Normandy would be involved in the rebellion, especially the Duchy of Anjou and the Duchy of Upper Burgundy.

Let's just talk about the Duchy of Upper Burgundy, the principality controlled by the Kay family, and its heritage and the number of knights are not comparable to William.

As for the Duchy of Anjou, William feared the most, this Duchy had four counties, Anjou, Tours, Vendée and Enman, and its territory and military strength were even stronger than when the Duchy of Normandy was at its strongest.

Duke of Anjo "Hammer" Volkes III was a British lord who had to avoid even His Majesty King Henry I of France, and his successor, Jofroy, was also a brave and shrewd and cunning fellow, whose political and military prowess was in no way inferior to that of his father, the Duke of Anjo.

Fortunately, at this time, the current Duke of Anru "Iron Hammer" Volkes III is 64 years old, and he is a dying old man, as long as William waits patiently for the opportunity, even if Kay and others recruit reinforcements from the Duchy of Anjou, they will not be afraid.

Speaking of the religious power controlled by William, William currently controls the entire parish of Liser and the Evle Church by supporting the new bishop Hamelin, not only obtaining a large amount of church land and assets, but also controlling the use of tithes.

Of course, it does not mean that William can do something against the Catholic Church unscrupulously, but William can get some conveniences in Evle, such as enjoying the right to be exempt from tithes, using tithes to fund William's schools in the name of cultivating believers, and so on.

At present, William's expansion has entered a plateau, and he is unable to continue to gain territory from the rebels after signing a peace agreement with the Normandy nobles such as Caye.

To the west and south is the mighty Duchy of Anjou, to the south is the Duchy of Champagne and Paris, to the east is the Count of Amiens-Wiisant, the in-laws of the King of France, and finally to the north are the Norman nobles who have just signed a peace treaty.

William will not be able to gain new territory for at least three years after the peace treaty is signed, unless he voluntarily tears up the treaty and attacks Kay, Count of Mortan.

As a result, William focused his efforts on the development of his territory and commerce.

By this time, the Normandy consortium owned by William had already controlled the commerce of Alençon and Vernon, deeply penetrated the commerce of the county of Evreux and the Barony of Agentang, and made progress in the Paris area, but slowly in the newly acquired Barony of Wexon and the parish of Lischel.

For William, who already controlled the golden waterway of the Seine, the Normandy Consortium, which was located in the Barony of Alençon, could not adapt to the new situation, and William had to move the headquarters and various properties of the Normandy Consortium from Alençon to Vernonburg.

In the case of the steel and munitions industries, iron ore can also be obtained from the iron ore mines of the Baronies of Alençon, Enman, and Moltan, but the coal used in iron smelting needs to be obtained from the South Wales region of England and the mines of the Duchy of Flanders (Belgium).

The Principality of Flanders (Belgium) is relatively rich in coal resources, with reserves of about 3.7 billion tons, of which about half have mining value, mostly distributed in the Sambre-Meuse valley, and 4 of the country's 5 major coal fields (Borinage, Central, Charleroi, Liège coalfield) are distributed here.

In order to win over the Principality of Flanders as a help, William mainly imported from the Principality of Flanders, which was rich in coal resources.

Coal is transported by boat through the open sea-Seine-Itun waterway, which is a route that travels thousands of miles to Alençon, and the cost is not usually enormous.

Smelted steel and forged finished weapons and armor need to be transported through the narrow Itun River to the wide waters of the Seine, and exported to England, France, Denmark and many other countries, where the transportation cost is not ordinarily large.

Although the cost was reduced by using a large number of coal to make iron and large-scale smelting, William did not allow money to be wasted on transportation.

Not only the steel and arms industries, but also the textiles, shipbuilding, finance and many other industries gradually moved from the city of Alençon to the Barony Vernon near the Seine, in order to enjoy the convenience of transportation along the golden waterway of the Seine.
