Yes, of course, Gawain knew that he was put into this medieval troubled world by the female devil Ajiehe, and he did not have any clan brothers, which was his advantage and his disadvantage - the children of Anna, Ingrida and Little Sunfish were still young, and the previous national foundation was more rooted in Cilicia, and the people and officials of Constantinople, even if they did not like the rule of Komnenos, they did not have much feeling for his family, and more for Anna's Ducasse. The recognition of the Komnenos pedigree is respected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, if Gawain wants his successor to rule for a long time, he must face two choices: one is to follow Alexios and engage in "family world", that is, to change the traditional official titles, divide the most important positions and powers of the country among his relatives and cronies, and intermarry with other nobles, similar to the feudal system in the West; One is to go back to the Macedonian dynasty and beyond, re-establish a centralized government, cultivate a bureaucratic class, and form a field army under the command of the emperor to suppress the entire country.

Now Gawain wants to do both, and he has decided to be tough on both.

Because both of these options have their own fatal weaknesses, although the former can ensure the family's rule over the country, but over time, it will inevitably lead to the centrifugal force of the country becoming stronger, once the central authority declines, it will fall apart, and it is difficult to clean it up again; In the latter case, it can increase the power of the emperor and the king, but it will also create a bloated bureaucracy and low administrative efficiency, weaken the power of the local government, and if the central government collapses, the whole country will instantly fall into a state of brain death, and there will be no more barriers to remedy.

However, there is also room for overlap between the two options, which gives Gawain the conditions to be eclectic, not only to learn Alexios, but also to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of the emperor's plan to control the world.

The division of the three administrative districts was his first plan.

Among them, the special district is to ensure that the emperor has a strong and direct source of power, and its income is to support the emperor's inner palace group, imperial attendants and janissary brigades (Gawain has prepared to upgrade the earliest three-wing brigade and cavalry corps to the Praetorian Guard brigade), to maintain local deterrence and subjugation, and the officials of the special district are directly designated and appointed by the emperor;

The bureaucracy controls the tax, conscription, and judicial power of each county (and then the hundred-man district and village community), and cooperates with the autonomous hall to manage the local area, and the shield tax is also collected from the county, which is used to support and train the civil army of each county, and provide the supply of the garrison brigade.

As for the autonomous region, there are two types, one is the "fortress border area", such as Samosata, Pisidia, these border areas may not all be in the border, but all the key transportation will be set up, stationed in the border army to resist the invasion or depth of the delayed enemy, forming a deep garrison system, most of the border people's army is granted land property, with tax exemption as the condition of continuous protection of troops, the use of chariots, cavalry with bows, arrows, firearms, spears to fight, the commander of the "chariot general"; There is also the "Autonomous Maritime Region", similar to Mysia, Attalia and the future Cyprus, where the cities enjoy self-governing powers, are governed by the elected Curia, and the central government does not interfere too much, but pays a fixed amount of "tribute", and needs to provide the port maintenance fee, escort and ship maintenance costs of the place, such as the provision of ships in case of naval warfare.

Correspondingly, Gao Wen, the military and political team of the three administrative regions, also arranged and deployed, and Gao Wen in the special administrative region is ready to appoint the "palace attendants" to govern in person, and the source of this group of attendants is not only the forbidden army, but also the young children (and hostages) of nobles in various places; The counties and capitals were in exchange with the bureaucracy, and the last autonomous region, Gawain, was prepared to follow the example of the previous dynasty in sending inspectors to control the behavior of the generals.

As for what Gao Wen was thinking about before, he wanted to create a hub in the SAR that would allow him to "form an alliance" with the new power group.

Gawain's original means of appeasing the army was to distribute the "monetary fiefdom" of the Gospel Fields of the Holy Warriors, but now it is not enough to control the country by the army alone, Gawain needs the support of the old nobles and old officials, after all, the trick of physical extermination like in the Cilician era will not work, but he is worried that allowing this group of people to share the land rights and interests will once again give rise to a new large landed class that will hinder the power of the state.

Therefore, it is necessary to divert the attention of the people from the land, and for this reason Gawain has to adopt the best way of inducing, and the best way is to attract them with trade and workshops, and to invest money in these two areas, which in the long run will be beneficial to the future country - and of course the investment in the land must not be abandoned, after all, it is the capital of the country.

Therefore, Gawain's method was to transfer the income from the workshops and ports in Constantinople, of course, to the officials and generals under his command at a low price in the form of a joint-stock system, and each of them would occupy a share, and go out of his own money and eat dividends, so that a large group could be quickly formed together.

While Gawain was still talking about his ideal plan, he found that Agnes beside him had fallen back into a deep sleep without knowing when......

After the New Year, outside the palace gate tower of the city of Tarsus, the citizens gathered were sad and mournful, and many wept - the beautiful little princess Helena sat on the shoulders of the leader, followed by her brother Hristopher, and fifty cavalrymen including Massoud, Zangi, and Muzafiadin escorted the sides with flags.

Helena quietly untied the curtain with her fingers, and her bony eyes looked at the people on the side of the street, and many women were crying, she knew that this was the relocation of the people who were reluctant to move to the court, and this reluctance was not only emotional, but also honorable and profitable.

But I can't help but go!

After all, Constantinople was about to fall, and the city's sole owners, Gawain and Anna, were definitely going to take charge of the country there.

It is said that the couple promised that in the future Tarsus would be the most important "sub-capital" of the country.

At the same time, good news came from the east that Androdat had taken command of his army, and after several months of fierce siege, the city of Tripoli had been captured.

It is said that during the siege of the city, the food for the army and the fleet was exhausted, and it was necessary to buy a lot of food around it (because it had signed a contract with the Maronites in Lebanon, so it could not be plundered) and the surrounding food was not enough, and it was too late to ask Tarsus, so Androdat was in a hurry, and he imitated Gawain's "national debt" and asked his subordinates to divide many pieces of leather, on which they transcribed the number of various coins and stamped their own seals, and used them to buy grain and livestock from the surrounding caravans and farmers. He also said that after the war, he could use this "leather coin" to exchange for real money.

Relying on the leather coin, Androdat quickly took Tripoli, which was exhausted.
