Secretly, Maurice and Sambel were in cahoots, dressed in expensive vestments, with the finest and most precious vessels, drinking Cypriot wine, and every dish at the table was covered with thick oriental spices, almost as pomp and circumstance as the caliphate of Egypt or Baghdad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Maurice wrote a perfunctory report, which he had to carry with him, and asked him to be sent back to the Holy See by ship, stating that "all the accusations against Sambel are not true, and are the result of some secular lords trying to conceal their own impiety." In addition, Morris boasted, "In the Holy City, all the dioceses of my lord are running smoothly, and the donations and taxes are used to build more and more beautiful churches." The sick and injured pilgrims were rescued, and the families of the soldiers were well cared for. ”

At the end of autumn, the entire Levant Sea seems to have completely calmed down.

Fatima in Egypt resumed trade relations with the surrounding powers, as did Antioch and Jerusalem, except for the hapless Apsomat who lost two territories, all of which were excellent.

Until one day, Gerald, the archdeacon of St. John's Hospital in the Holy City, suddenly stood in front of the patriarch's residence, and behind him was a man as tall and stout as a tower, "His name is Diem, and he is the Praetorian Standard-bearer of the Seleucian patron from the city of Tarsus. He wants to see you. ”

On the steps, Sambel stood proudly on the other side, looking at the wooden farmer-like Dim in front of him with contempt, "Aren't you the one who came from Cilicia to guard the grave of the dead Godfrey in the Skull Land?" ”

"Yes, yes, I brought a cash box with me." Diem stammered.

"Oh?"

"That's my master, my master's donation to Gerrard's Hospital."

"Are you questioning?"

"No, my master wrote to me and wanted to ask him if the money he donated had reached Master Gerald's."

Sambell shrugged his shoulders, looking visibly embarrassed, and said that he never asked for specific account details, but when he had time to check the matter, he would ask the finance staff to check the matter, "Be sure to give a clear answer." ”

Dim nodded innocently, and then shrank into the corner, which made Sambel secretly laugh, thinking that "Gawain is surrounded by this group of guys with a full head of wheat flowers, and they are also guarding the flag bearer, and they are laughing to death." And Gerald was also a pure and loyal elder, and was dismissed by the patriarch in a few words.

A few days later, Sambel had forgotten all about the incident.

At this moment, in the court of Tarsus, Gawain was personally representing the bedridden Caesar to hold a farewell banquet for the graduates of St. Paul, who had rushed to the Pisidian Metropolitan Fortress district.

But before the banquet, Gawain sat on the king's seat in the center of the hall and asked a series of questions to the dozens of graduates in front of him, "Where are you going on this trip?" ”

"Pisidia's Great Sideline, and Kibiodont's Sailors Sideline." Several college students replied.

"So there, if you are the head of the military station, what organization should you be responsible for?"

"It's the newly established Army House of the Great Patron, and if it's Kibiodont, it's the Navy Academy."

"What if it's in the Circuit Court of the Herdsmen in the Border Fortress District?"

"That should be accountable to the Court of Justice and the High Court of Tarsus."

"What if you work as a financial inspector in the pastoral office?"

"It should be responsible to the Audit Department of the Finance Yuan."

......

Because Gawain has now reformed the political system of the Kingdom of Tarsus, the original Six Divisions cannot adapt to the increasingly extensive scope of rule, and need to be strengthened gradually. The Department of Agriculture, Construction, and Municipal Affairs were merged to form the "Grand Treasury", which was divided into three departments, and the Department of Taxation and Customs was added, and the Department of Auditing, the former was responsible for supervising the collection of taxes in the counties and border districts in September (the month of taxation fixed by the Byzantine state); The latter, as the name suggests, is a rigorous review and picketing of the budgets, retention, and expenditures of the counties and the border districts.

According to Gawain's first sentence, "The essence of taxation is to be broad and fair." "In order to solve the tax problem of his own country as soon as possible in the Middle Ages, Gawain called Ibn . Maimun compiled a complete set of books on the taxation of the Crescent kingdom or dynasty, and it is well known that the tax system of the Crescent Cult was the most effective and advanced in the world at that time, and how a certain pond was taxed, how a certain crop was taxed, and even how a fruit tree should be taxed was perfectly covered by it. Of course, Gawain learned more from the example of the ready-made Eastern Roman Empire, which was the only country with the most complete customs system after the collapse of the classical era - now all ships must be unloaded in two ports, Seleucia and Zephilim, and different amounts of taxes are charged according to the type of goods, for example, wine has to be charged a quarter of the appraised value, while grain is a twelfth, and silk, spices and other light luxury goods are more taxed. In addition, Gawain ordered that all ships sailing in the waters of Tarsus must abide by the "Rhode Island Maritime Code", and began to explore the "county border tax system" throughout the country to replace the previous tax package system or the Plonian tax system, as well as the "ladder tax system" for the people, hoping to imitate the ancient Celestial Empire to divide the tax households into three, six, nine and so on, so as to make the tax burden more reasonable.

Gawain's second passage reads: "The property of a thousand gold coins can be dealt with by one's own head, and ten thousand coins are better to have a Lombard or Jewish butler deacon, and a hundred thousand coins need a bank to take care of it, and if a million coins are to be taken care of, a special state agency must be set up to take care of it." "This is the original intention of the establishment of the Audit Division, and the local and royal families must establish a sound budget and audit system, and cooperate with the banking and finance of the city of Bari, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of money. As for the training of personnel, it was already available: the governments and chambers of commerce in Tarsus and Bari sent a part of their men to the fields donated to the Seleucian hospitals from all over the continent, and to set up farms and warehouses to manage the land, "Do not manage the land like the stupid acts of the royal families of the continent, but learn more from the successful experience of Granada (the Moorish regime in Spain) and the great monasteries, with a degree of detail than all the counts and barons around." "That's what Gawain asked of them.

The original Ship Division evolved into a separate "Naval Academy" with an independent military station. The docks and docks, the base of which is naturally in Atalya, fully reflect the importance that Gawain attached to the naval fleet in the future, and promoted Andreev to the independent "Grand Duke of the Fleet", his deputy Jalguba as the "Count of the Fleet", and as for the great pirate of Wenmoha, he was also absorbed and became another "Count of the Fleet".

The corresponding Ordnance Department was also upgraded to the "Army Academy", with full responsibility for domestic military stations, ordnance manufacturing, training, recruitment, road forts, etc., Samuelfa was promoted to "Quartermaster", and Danish Prince Sven and Little Sunfish were promoted to "Earl of Clothing".

"As for the ...... of the Judicial Yuan," said Gawain, moving his glass to the side of the table in front of everyone, and Staulachos on the other side set up a box containing a thick book.
