Army, still army, only army. The army is Egil's greatest reliance and greatest capital - Egil will not hand over military power to anyone else under any circumstances. Neither the Shenma Staff nor the Field Marshal could take military power away from him. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely-

That's it. Although it has been thought out, it is ready to develop a set of central management bodies. But this does not include the military. Although the territory of the Norman kingdom has increased a lot. But the military system has not changed much. At most, it is just an increase in the number of defensive units stationed in various places. The real, combative, and outnumbered army still followed Egil and was commanded by Egil himself.

Let's just be a little more troublesome.

A general of about the same caste as Anderson, but with a little more loyalty, was recruited to lead a regrouped army of 5,000 troops renamed the Prussian garrison to garrison Marienburg against the Polish mob to the south. And we are ready to support other cities at any time.

But Egil also understands. With such a small army, it is impossible to perfectly defend the two territories of Livonia and Prussia. But he didn't want too many troops under Aven's command. Therefore, it was decided to recruit another general. And after returning to Scandinavia, recruit another Livonian garrison.

In addition, it was confirmed that during his expedition to Eastern Europe, France behaved in a treacherous manner, and a large number of unknown spies infiltrated the Duchy of Normandy. Therefore, Egil also planned to form a Normandy garrison according to the custom. Garrison in Normandy......

In this way, it will cost more money to go back and forth...... After calculating the distance between his own domains, Egil decided to move the capital from Biard to Gothenburg, which was being renovated in Swedish territory. Again, this requires a lot of money. In addition, it costs a lot of money to build a central political system...... The expected war reparations of the United Kingdom could not be paid, and the new territories may have promised six months of tax exemption. The original territory had reduced tax revenues due to the initial mobilization, and Egil felt stretched thin at the moment.

Fiscal Taxation, Fiscal Taxation, Fiscal Taxation...... Egil couldn't think of any more money he could carve out. At present, the agricultural tax is set just right, and if it is raised again, the peasants will not be able to bear it. And the business tax was once as high as 70%. Now that the war has stopped for the time being, it has been reduced a little, but it is still as high as sixty and a half. In addition, the poll tax and the Öresund aqueduct tax, which are not actually very good for the economy, still exist, and it is inevitable to try to get out of the way again. Originally, he had pitted a lot of nobles, and Egil still thought that he could make a windfall. But in the end, apart from a few more fields, the actual income was not very much gold and silver precious metal coins. It seems that the European aristocracy is a poor bastard......

Forget it, bear with me, let's stop for a few months and wait for the tax. Anyway, now the mobilization is disbanded. Economic production has also recovered.

In this way, the matter of replenishing and expanding the army was put aside for the time being. Egil began to work on another task. That is, the establishment of a central political axe. In the end, Egil's axe was indeed established. But he had killed people in Eastern Europe for so long, and the bonds he had earned were all depleted.

"At most, spare you a pair of boots, love or not. Like an extremely shrewd salesperson, Aurora completely ignored Egil's soft grind. No discount at all. So in the end, Egil had to wear these "supposedly dragon skin (?)" boots, which felt quite soft and depressed.

The functions of the central political axe are as follows: the supreme head of state is, of course, the Holy Emperor Egil, who is Yunwen Yunwu. Now, after such a long period of conquest (prestige, orthodox surname +20), plus the queen who married a legitimate brand (orthodox surname +25), and the special items that Egil previously exchanged, the Norman Iron Crown (orthodox surname +10), the king's banner (white bird flag on a blue background, morale +1, orthodox surname +5), and the upgraded ruby heraldic ring (orthodox surname +5), as well as the systemalytically forged noble origin (orthodox surname +5), Egil's orthodox surname has reached seventy points. It can be regarded as a royal family recognized by the nations. The highest Orthodox surname is one hundred and the lowest is zero. Every time you exceed the middle of 10, you can increase 1 army morale, popularity, special character loyalty, and 10 diplomatic opinion (royal axe - no bonus if it is a republican axe). Otherwise, it is lowered.

And the head of the political axe of the Norman kingdom, which is commonly known as the prime minister, the prime minister, or the prime minister and the like. Egil thought for a moment and split it into three pieces. Among them, the nominal highest is naturally the archbishop of the state, who is in charge of the national clergy, as well as the appointment and dismissal of the abbots of the various monasteries in the country (Egil originally wanted to destroy the monastery and fight the local tyrants, but he still didn't dare to think about it), but this is really his own person, that is, the chief priest of the Battlefield Order, Peter Do. However, whether this appointment is said or not, it still needs to be approved by the Vatican Pope, and Egil has already sent people to the Papal States to "dredge", and I believe that there will be news in a while.

Then there is the administration, which is what Egil wants to keep the most, but he can deal with it when he usually arrives, but it will be a bit troublesome if he is leading troops out of the field. But Egil still insisted on not having a head of government in charge of the administration. That's not to say he doesn't have an official in charge of this. Just changed a name, just like the cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Qing Dynasty. However, Egil was even more ruthless, and he didn't even give such a nice name, and directly acted as a royal senior official, which means that you are a slut who helps the emperor check and fill in the gaps. Hide in the corner and feel inferior, bastard.

Even so, Egil was not satisfied, and while lowering his rank, he further set the number of Royal Counsellors to three, and each Crown Counsellor also had two deputies, a total of three Crown Counsellors, plus six deputies who became Crown Administrators, and a total of individuals formed the Royal Council. As Egil's royal tools, the human flesh stamp existed, and when Egil was there, he used them as coolies, and when Egil was away, he asked them to settle general matters by personal vote, with one vote for each senior officer and half a vote for the administrator.

However, there is a slight problem with this. The bonds that Egil had worked so hard to accumulate arrived in Aurora's hands in exchange for a sentence: "Not enough!"

"Huh?!" Egil was very surprised, he had clearly calculated well, an administrative expert, a water conservancy expert, an agricultural expert, a business expert, a financial expert, an education expert, a diplomatic expert, a great philosopher, a great politician, a big businessman, the first six were royal administrators, and the last three were royal administrators. After spending all the bonds to get a pair of dragon skin (?) boots, why isn't it enough to get to Aurora?

"It's just short of the money of this big businessman. You can also enrich a pair of dragon leather boots. Aurora's words were light, but they made Egil angry.

"No kidding, okay - I'm here to talk to you behind Artoria's back!" she's going to come to me after a little snack!!" Egil was a little frustrated. Then I understood what Aurora meant - this guy probably wanted to take the position of this "big businessman himself, and occupy a place in the Royal Council." ”

"What the hell do you think?!, and what are you capable of?" After that, I had to say this to her.

"You can't see it yourself. Aurora closed her eyes after speaking, and looked like she was going to pick (?), which made Egil swallow.

"Damn it. She's a monster. Egil reminded himself of this as he clicked on the system interface and called up Aurora's surname. It turned out that this guy didn't know if it was because of cheating or what. He had the surnames of a general, a princess, an assassin, a diplomat, and other officials at the same time. Although so far, except for the group of big businessmen, none of them can be opened......

Egil glanced at Aurora with a slightly puzzled look, and saw that the guy was still with his eyes closed and not speaking. So with the heart of giving it a try, I opened her surname column.

......

Twenty stars.

“...... me?!" Egir rubbed his eyes before looking.

It's still twenty stars.

So Egil couldn't help but blurt out, "You cheat?!"

"-You're cheating!"

In this way, Egil's first full-cast figure was born. So just for the "national business tax +25%, national business growth +50%" such a terrifying caste bonus. Even if Aurora didn't want to do it in the end. Egil was going to cry and cry out for her.

In this way, the structure of the Royal Advisory Council was completed, and the administrative capacity of the central government axe was greatly improved. People's satisfaction, public order rate, fiscal revenue, agricultural income have risen sharply, political expenditure has decreased, and administrative efficiency has improved. The whole Norman kingdom was in a state of prosperity.

-- All of the above is just Egil's delusion. The actual effect will have to wait a little longer to see.

Finally, and the most inconspicuous link in the entire central political axe: the rule of law, Egil attaches great importance to this link. Although the entire European continent has so far, except for Byzantium, no other country has even a written law......
