It is rumored that before the emperor ascended to the throne, he was known for his cruelty to the nobility in the area of Cilicia: he hanged half of the Seleucian landlords of Genat, and slaughtered all the Arni nobles of the Ruben kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I will protect your lives and the safety of your land." So when the Emperor sat on the golden throne and held the scepter and said this, many of the nobles who surrounded and bowed their heads did not dare to believe their ears.

However, the Emperor magnanimously repeated this sentence, and then he put forward his true thoughts, "But then in the region of Mosia, I will acquire all the important cities and fortresses, and among you, the Pronian landlords who originally received the edict of the former Emperor, will lose their right to supervise the land, and all the land will be taken over by me and the Empire, but do not worry, I will continue to do so." Ransom policy' to determine your sacred fiefdoms, and the boyers who are still alive in Moses need not worry, as long as you are willing to serve me, I will not kill you, but will protect your original territory. But ......" Gawain took a book from the confidential officer's hand and opened it on the table, but when everyone looked at it, there was no word on the paper, and Gawain turned it back, and people saw that there was only a gilded font on the cover, and the Great Tax Book of Moses was clearly written.

"Your life will not be the same as it was in the past, or that the system of rule that was once no longer applicable to Moses." Gawain then spoke eloquently and expressed his thoughts, "My men will carry measuring tools and calculation chips, and carefully and fairly and transparently calculate all the Boya territories in Mosya, and count how many fields, pastures, orchards, slopes, and cattle are all recorded in this great tax book. Then your taxes will be levied according to the appropriate standards on weekdays; But in time of war, you will no longer have to pay taxes, but will provide me with soldiers and equipment according to the standards calculated in the tax books, and the standard will be about the same, for example, a property of 150 tasso must provide me with a fully equipped archer, a 300 tasso will provide me with a horse archer, and a 400 tasso will require a light cavalry, and a 1000 tasso will provide me with a well-equipped heavy cavalry. In addition, if I have recruited enough archers from the village communes of Moses with the shield tax they paid, and only need cavalry from the boyers, then the three boyers, with a property of 300-400 tasso, can unite and provide me with a heavy cavalry service to meet my needs. All in all, you will be treated the same as the border citizens of the Overarch I have set up. But if Boyer, who is unable to provide me with military service in wartime, will be fined the first time, and I will send someone to confiscate your property. ”

Gawain then added, "All the Boyers who were exterminated before had their lands owned by the Sacred Warriors and given to our immigrants to cultivate (again the transfer of the population); Their 'paritsi' (the so-called serfs in Bulgaria) were to be released from the status restrictions and sent to work in the cities (Gawain was keen to give priority to the development of the northern cities), and after two years of free work, they would be granted free status by the city magistrates and allowed to join the guilds. ”

After saying this, Gawain held up the heavy tax book and said to everyone, "Now I understand why my tax book is still blank, it all depends on you, especially the boyers of Moses - do you want your name to appear here, or do you not want to appear here?" ”

The implication is that if you resist tax service, then your name does not need to appear in the Great Book of Moses, but directly in the list of Hellfire, where the Emperor will generously help you with a sword and axe.

Not only that, but the emperor would also use his hand to divide the whole of Bulgaria into many intricate prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and to concentrate the heretics (Bogmüllers) in certain areas to make it easier to administer, in order to weaken the cohesion and resistance of the people. In addition, the emperor reaffirmed that Moses. Serbia will no longer have an independent patriarch (originally the role was played by Archbishop Ohrid), and the bishopric of all regions will be transferred to Constantinople.

Under the same circumstances, the direct districts may become the garrison and food place of the emperor's "Imperial Decree Field Brigade", while the military districts will set up military stations in the core fortresses to provide uniform uniforms, weapons, firearms and even vehicles to the border residents in wartime (of course, the provision is partially deducted from the tax exemption quota of the border people), because Gawain and the generals realized how terrible it is for an army to have different weapons.

This "Great Tax Book of Mosia" was only the beginning, and it would be followed by the "Great Tax Book of Serbia", "Great Armenia", "Great Dalmatia", and even "Great Tax Book of Wallachia" and "Great Tax Book of Moldavia", which was Gawain's means of controlling these semi-independent regions.

But the boyers obeyed, after all, the emperor's disposition was reasonable, full of mercy and forgiveness, and it was much better than hanging them all on the trees on both sides of the Dengjie River.

Soon the officers and officials sent by Barcelissa in the capital city were the first to begin to measure the land and calculate the taxes in the subjugated regions of Vipo, Tervono, and Versigenia, which were recorded in the Great Tax Book of Moses: the emperor is said to have demanded that this tax book be recalculated and corrected every thirty years, and that the tax be corrected in accordance with the current price for a rough estimate of the "increase in the value of the land".

As a result, the property of the boyers was recorded in great detail, and those who knew it were compared to the one introduced in Britain by William the Conqueror, which was called the Last Judgment and this one the Judgment of Hellfire.

After the spring snow began to melt, Gawain broke the rebel cavalry in Versiginia and killed more than 10,000 prisoners spread like thunder throughout the continent. Berdeen began to panic again.

He didn't know whether to stay on the castle and wait for reinforcements from the West or Gawain to attack, or to take the initiative to turn up the old plan and risk a surprise attack along the River Dresson, or abandon Sophia's fort and retreat to Ohrid's court.

The Western jihadist army was far less assembled than Gawain's offensive was far from being as fast, the kingdoms were busy arguing, the backward military system could not quickly raise logistics and equipment, and the choice of landing site was also noisy - Sicily advocated landing at Epirus, Venice advocated in Drasium, and Hungary had to join their own troops ashore in Dalmatia, all in the hope of taking advantage of the spring breeze of the jihadist army to expand themselves (because after the defeat of Isaac before, Sicily seized several castles in Epirus, Venice occupied the city of Durazzo, and Hungary coveted several frontier points on the Sava River.

But Gawain was ready to do it, and he wanted to do it before the seaworthiness season came.
