Also, in order to avoid some misunderstandings, let me explain first.
The Western world is the first province, and then the sub-feud that appeared, that is, the Roman Empire, divided into the back N countries, and China is just the opposite, it is the first sub-feud and then the county system, we should be grateful to the first emperor, otherwise now going out of the province is equivalent to going abroad.
At that time, the duke in the West was equivalent to the status of a provincial governor, the earl and viscount were equivalent to the mayor and deputy mayor, the baron and the lord were equivalent to those officials in the court, and of course the marquis, who was the duke's deputy.
These prominent nobles slowly evolved into various princes.
I'm here.,It's a feudal system that has become a provincial system.,Of course, it's only implemented in the protagonist's own territory now.,Of course, the feudal still exists.,But after the separation.,The nobles can collect taxes on their territory.,But they don't have the administrative and military management authority of the territory.。
The above does not count the number of words.
-------------------------------
Six days ago, on September 15th, Gray, who had just been canonized as a viscount, had moved his center of power from Gerson Town to Harrence City.
The busy life of the lord has diluted the joy of obtaining the title of viscount, and from now on, Harrens will rule hundreds of thousands of people, and at the same time, he must also be responsible for everything of these hundreds of thousands of people.
Because of the lack of middle and lower officials, Gray had to work late into the night every day, and he must now appoint his court prime minister as soon as possible, and the most suitable candidate for this position was undoubtedly Sir Rand, but for Sir Rand, Gray had other arrangements.
So, apart from Sir Rand, the most suitable candidate is Sir Wright, who is now taking care of the business finances of the entire territory quite well, but if he is made prime minister, will it affect the construction of the trade area of Gerson Town?
Besides, Harrlens has such a large territory, and there are no other nobles to be found except for Gray, so should he give a part of the land to those subordinates?
To be honest, Gray doesn't like to give his territory to other people, not because he is stingy, but because he thinks that the reason why the human kingdom has been constantly fighting is because of the autonomous territories in various places.
For example, when the time comes, there will be a conflict between the two lords of Gray's feud, which will lead to a fight or even a war, which will weaken the strength of the entire Harrence territory, which will not do Gray any good.
The entire human kingdom Gray can't control it now, but his own territory is up to him, and the last time Baron Mura about the trade area, let his son be loyal to him, and then divide the territory, Gray's eyes lit up, maybe this method can be applied!
However, this plan must not be allowed to be spoken, which will chill the subordinates, but who is the most appropriate to say such things? Or will they help themselves to say such things.
If it is not divided, the town of Moss, which is important north of Harrens, and the town of Lum outside the Black Mountain Pass, must send a suitable mayor to take up the post as soon as possible, and even the town of Geson needs a mayor, and Gray has a terrible headache at the thought of these things.
There are also those large and small villages, Gray does not plan to divide them, and the officials of these places are good to arrange, as in Gesen Town, let them elect themselves.
In Harrence City's study, Gray also moved to a large room with a great view, he stood up, opened the window, and looked down on the city, the summer breeze on his cheeks, making people feel comfortable.
"Someone!" Gray shouted to the door.
The door to the study was immediately opened, and a young man named Deren walked in, this was Gray's new squire, he was selected by Rena for Gray in the army, a young man with noble blood.
As for Hamp, Gray intends to canonize him as a knight, which can be regarded as a little compensation, or rather, this is what Hamp deserves.
"Bring Sir Wright!"
Wright was obviously busier than Gray, he only wore a very thin coat, but the sweat on his body was evident from the hot weather and busy chores, and he looked as if he had just been scooped up after falling into the water.
Gray's room was well ventilated, and it should be said to be very cool in the summer, and Wright also showed a comfortable expression when he entered the room, and after he sat down, he immediately asked Delenn to prepare him a cup of tea that had been cooled in advance.
"Why, Harrence City's finances are in disarray?
Wright took the tea brought by Delenn, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "It's chaos that can be described there, this is a rotten account at all, I think we should leave their accounts alone, that bastard of Keith did a good thing, we don't need to wipe his ass, just start from scratch, maybe there will be a better effect!"
"What do you mean?" Gray only controlled the general direction of finance, and he didn't understand the details.
Wright wiped the sweat that was already a little cool on his forehead, "We can directly exempt all the taxes in this quarter's territory, use this time, and then measure the farmland and fields in the territory from the new, count the number of cattle and sheep, estimate the income, and the shops in each market town should also be re-registered, as for the expenses of this quarter, isn't there a large amount of money left by the group of dead nobles led by Harrons?"
Gray didn't understand very well, and asked directly, "Need money?"
"Yes, but next quarter, our revenues will be very impressive!" Wright nodded.
"How much do you need?"
"Five thousand gold coins!" Wright took a deep breath and called out a number.
Gray was startled when he heard the figures from Sir Rand, the money was enough to arm an entire infantry regiment, he stared at Wright, the other party's face was very serious, Gray asked again, "How much tax will there be next quarter?"
Wright was prepared, and hurriedly replied after hearing this: "Because it is impossible for the northern territory to have income for the time being, it is conservatively estimated that there can be about 7,000 gold coins in taxes, dividends and taxes from charcoal trading, because I have no specific data, and I have not calculated it!"
Hearing this, Gray lowered his head and thought for a while, before he said, "Okay, you can go to Steward Wren to collect the money later!" Wright's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Viscount, I ......"
"Okay, you can do the specific things slowly, we won't talk about it!" Gray waved his hand to interrupt Wright, who was about to continue talking, and after a pause, he continued: "Do you have anyone to recommend for the mayor of the trilateral town?"
"Mayor of the town?" Sir Wright was stunned when he heard this, and the faint smile on his face was unconsciously put away, he glanced at Gray cautiously, and asked, "Lord Viscount, I don't know what Sir Rand's opinion is?"
Gray leaned back, leaned his whole body on the sofa, stared at Wright with a smile, and said, "Sir Rand is now busy with the formation of new recruits, and I asked you this question so far!"
Gray just asked Wright about the mayor of the trilateral town, which can reveal two meanings, first, he does not plan to seal off the three towns, and second, he is the first to ask Sir Wright, this is a signal!
"I have two friends who used to be clerks in the royal capital, and can be qualified for the position of mayor of the town, but they are both in the Hoko Islands now, doing trade, and it is said that the business is doing well, I don't know if they would like to come over!" Wright said slowly, pausing with each word before organizing the language.
"Well, then please, whether they want to come or not, you can write a letter to invite them!" Gray did not understand what Wright meant, and he immediately said.
"One more thing, do you have any opinion on Baron Mura's plan for dealing with his thirty percent shop last time?" Gray changed his tone and jumped to another question.
Wright secretly said in his heart: Here it is! This should be the main purpose of the Viscount's search for himself today.
