Chapter 60: Makjanias
After reaching a consensus, Coroman was satisfied with the inter-state deal: he felt that the bodies of his brother and young nephew, who posed the greatest threat to his throne, had been mutilated and disqualified; The Hungarian technology was not sufficient to mint so much gold and silver into coins, preferring to send some of the gold nuggets to Gawain's mint, in exchange for preferential exports of the main agricultural commodities of wheat, barley, and wine, which were needed for Gawain's fortresses in Mosya, the Sava River, and the large quantities of silver tasso, which were loved by the merchants and craftsmen, even though the Hungarian peasants and shepherds hated the coins made by the devils with floral patterns, Coromans can use the Tasso sent by Gawain to directly give rewards to the court, or build large fortresses in his kingdom.

The Hungarian envoys marched through the region of Lower Pannonia, which had been under the control of the brother of the Almosz, and then crossed the Danube to the city of Niš, where there was a narrow passage under the control of the Roman Empire, ending in Fort Philip, where it was possible to reach the court of Constantinople without difficulty by following the Evros River eastward.
The Hungarians were amazed by the sights along the road, the banks of the river were full of forests, black or dark green, one by one passing through the eyes of the men on horseback, and there was a wooden platform with hanging corpses under the war-torn city of Saldica, no one could tell how many traitors the newly enthroned emperor had killed here, it was said that he had killed more in Moses, seventy percent of the Boyer or Zupan nobles had been wiped out, and their wives and children had been forcibly relocated to Asia Minor to remarry those they had never met. This is something they could never have dreamed of before.
The emperor protected their estates, but set up a strict and detailed tax book to determine their military service and taxes, and they were no longer as high-flying and domineering as they were a hundred years ago, "As long as the envoys sent by the emperor sound the horn in the military towns of Saldika and Tervono, they must send armored cavalry in accordance with the provisions of the tax book to gallop to the specified assembly destination, and dare not have any delay or disrespect." For ordinary Serbian or Mosesian soldiers who had been captured, the new emperor divided the routes according to his possessions: those below 300 tasso were allowed to stay in place and serve as infantry and archers in the "Grand Serbian Brigade" or "Grand Mosa Brigade", while those above 300 tasso were relocated to other places, mostly to the outskirts of the emperor's capital, and it is said that several "diaspora areas" were added outside the walls of Constantinople to house the people who had arrived after the war.
After arriving at Fort Philip, the scene changed again, agricultural production had been restored, and now the emperor's "tax treasury" had been increased to Thrace and Macedonia, and his strength was greatly increased, and he used the redemption policy to recover much of the land output, which was successfully used to maintain his army and professional bureaucracy.
Many of them were in stark contrast to backward Hungary, and the people of insight in the ranks of the envoys had begun to make up their minds to accept the "Romana" and learn from it.
At this time, in the palace of the Gallipoli Palace, Anna wore a gown through the long and uninhabited colonnade passage, and entered the seat of the hall.
The applause rang out, and the warriors of the Forbidden Soldiers of the Simen saluted Barcelisa one by one, and a crowd of costumed servants stepped forward to praise Barcelisa's virtues and exploits.
Anna smiled back, then sat down in her seat and took the tray from Hertomia, the Imperial Ink Officer, with insignia, scepters, swords, and silk cloaks of different colors.
Standing in front of her were four teenagers, one was General Bramson's adult son, Kukwe, the newly promoted captain of the Inner Palace Guard (the son of Hajib, the commander of the Oghuz Cavalry Regiment), one was Kaleadios, who had been received by Barcelissa for the first time, and one was Makjanias, who had just joined the Inner Palace.
Of course, Makjanias was the Hellenistic name of the young man, whom he gave himself on his own initiative, and his original name was Massoud. Arslan.
"Kukui and Zangi have taken your swords and are about to go to the military camp of His Majesty the Emperor of Durazo City to fight the enemy, will you feel fear or excitement?" Anna first asked the two older men kindly.
"Excited!" Kuquay replied bluntly, and took his sword and fastened his beautiful cloak.
"Calm ......" was Zanji's answer.
The last two, thanking Barcelissa, stepped aside.
The highlight is, of course, Calleadios, his mother Ingrida also came with her son, that is, after the completion of the palace, she will stay in the imperial capital for at least four months of the year, and although Calleadios is only twelve years old, Ingridina can also take the initiative to ask Anna for a showdown: My son, Gawain's eldest son, must always need a single rank.
Anna elevates Calleadeus to nobility and gives him an identity, but Calleadeos is like a lion cub who wants to follow the two to Durazo's camp to "see what his father's enemies are like."
Inglina applauded on the spot.
But Barcelissa suppressed it sternly, "If you go, then these two excellent young guards will not be able to concentrate on meritorious service, and they must protect you without leaving your side." ”
"Your Majesty Baselisa, he is a pure Varyag child, twelve years old enough to go into battle and serve his father and you. You see he's half a shoulder taller than you now. ”
Anna was so angry that she couldn't get angry, but it was the palace governor Stauracus who was so understanding that she immediately made a silent gesture to stop the widow's next nonsense.
"Caleadios managed to make his way from the Seleucian countryside to the capital, and with the other children, he gave priority to literature, rhetoric, law, and generals, which I believe would be beneficial to the development of his character." Anna sneered.
In the end, the child was granted a house and was immediately educated at the court, so as not to become a pirate-like figure.
In the end, Anna asked Makjanias to go to the "Samoster Precinct" to serve as the captain of the hundreds, gain experience in governance, and then appoint him to the local high court as an apprentice, and in the future he will be respected and honored in the Holy Court of the capital.
But Makjanias. Branas, however, offered to go to Durazo to help the Emperor and his stepfather, "I want to see the war, and Giovanni and Edordat are also capable of playing the dual roles of commander and judge at the same time." ”
In the hall, Makhanias's mother, Shah Nami, heard her son's bold words, and secretly wiped away her tears, remembering his father, who died young.
Anna, too, sighed when she saw her mother's tears, and gently asked the boy why he had stopped thinking about it, as there was valuable experience to be gained in local administration and law.
