Chapter 5 The Second Territory High Level Plenary Meeting

At dawn in early summer, the sky seems to be painted with various paints, red and yellow.

On May [-]rd, the chiefs of the various villages in Qinghuangling, taking advantage of the coolness in the air at dawn, began to rush to Qinghuang Castle.

The meeting chaired by the baron himself will be held this morning. Although the village chiefs don't know the baron's intention to hold the meeting so early, there is no idiot who dare not come.

Under the urging of Belia, Alan started to rush to the council hall after washing up. At this time, he couldn't help but regret that he booked the meeting too early.

The members of the meeting were sitting in jeopardy, and all nine village chiefs were present.

Jinmai Village, Village Chief Farr
Carp Village, Village Chief Huo De
Shangmai Village, Village Chief Wilfa

Xiamai Village, Village Chief Dika
Fengguo Village, Village Chief Binger
Kondo Village, Mayor Willie
Zipu Village, village head Xiali
Gumai Village, Village Chief Sharla

Gaomai Village, Village Chief Foss
Administrative Officer, Fabia

Political Adjutant, Tings

Cavaliers vice-captain, Antonio
Butler, Carey

This can be regarded as the 14 generals in Allen's territory.

"Now I declare the meeting open."

"For the rapid development of the territory, I will make some changes to the territory. If you have any questions about my words, you can ask them directly." Allen said.

Then Allen began to talk about his plan.

"From today onwards, the Government Affairs Office will be split up. Territorial taxation will be separated from the Government Affairs Office, and a Finance Office will be established. Housekeeper Carey will be the financial officer. Fabia will continue to be the administrative officer." Allen said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Carey said.

Everyone present was startled, but their faces were suppressed so as not to show their emotions.

On the contrary, Fabiel, the administrative officer, looked relieved and didn't mind the division of his rights at all.

"Each village will make different changes due to different circumstances."

As Allen continued, the village chiefs listened nervously.

"Jinmai Village, Shangmai Village, Xiamai Village, Fengmai Village, and Gaomai Village all grow wheat, and each household needs to leave 6 mu of land for planting after the wheat harvest in June. Cordyceps and lavender."

"Because Liyu Village and Kondo Village mostly fish for a living, each household only needs one mu of land to plant insect repellent and lavender. Fengguo Village and Zipu Village each have two mu."

After Allen finished speaking, the nine village chiefs all looked suspicious.

In the end, the head of Jinmai Village bit the bullet and asked: "Master Baron, insect repellent and lavender are weeds that can be seen everywhere, and they are worthless..."

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. After the villagers plant it, in addition to [-]% of the tax, the other [-]% of the cost will be bought by Kaili's treasurer. Yes...you heard me right, I am going to pay the tax rate From [-]% to [-]%." The village chiefs couldn't believe what they heard.

For the rapid development of the territory, Allen decided to find another way. The economic development of the farming territory alone is too slow, and the life of the citizens under the high tax rate is very difficult.

It happened that there were too many mosquitoes in summer, which made Allen tireless, so Allen thought of making mosquito coils.

Using the luck that he had managed to accumulate in the past few days, Alan purposefully searched for the production plan of mosquito coils and the cultivation plan of flame wheat.

In this world, mosquito nets have not yet appeared, and there are only some primitive plant insect repellent methods. In summer, the rooms of nobles are filled with insect repellent potted plants.

Unless you become a high-level knight, possess a strength of [-] kilograms, and block bugs with the ability to release elements, otherwise no one of you will be able to get rid of the annoying bugs.

Therefore, mosquito coils are an opportunity for territorial development.The most important thing is that the core adhesive formula for mosquito coils is in Allen's hands, so even if others know that the mosquito coil formula contains insect repellent and lavender, they can't do anything about it.

"I hope everyone will implement this matter thoroughly. This is a major event related to the development of the territory."

"Also, from today onwards, each village must build at least three public toilets, and open defecation is prohibited. Fabia, Qinghuang Town needs at least ten!"

"Well... If you don't defecate in the prescribed place, if you catch it once, the tax rate will return to [-]%. Reporting is advocated, and those who report successfully will be rewarded."

Allen was already stink unbearably. The common people in this world don't like cleanliness and excrete waste everywhere.This is also the reason why there are so many diseases in this world.

"The next step is the military. The army will not be expanded for the time being, but the expansion is certain. The village chiefs spread the news and let the boys work hard and prepare in advance."

Antonio's dejected expression flashed away, but he was also very happy when he heard that the expansion of the army was expected.

Allen prepared to break through that the knights were expanding their army, and now the territory has no money to expand the army.

The old baron only left Alan with 3 small boxes of gold coins, about [-] gold dragons. At first Alan thought it was too much, but after careful calculation, he found that it was pitifully few.

The currencies used in this world are divided into gold, silver, and copper, all of which are directly extracted from metal mines and forged into coins the size of a bull's eye.

Gold coins are called golden dragons, silver coins are called silver deer, and copper coins are called copper fish.One golden dragon is equal to one hundred silver deer and ten thousand copper fish.

A soldier consumes 1 catty of grain a day, and 365 catties of grain a year. Now a catty of grain needs 3 copper fish, a soldier needs 1095 copper fish a year, and a cavalry needs 3 catties of grain a day.

In this way, the 200 people in the territory now cost about 32 gold dragons every year for food alone, not counting the replacement of weapons and equipment and the loss of horses.

Allen originally planned to expand the army by another 300 people, but just thinking about Allen made his legs weak.

Allen does not plan to expand the army until the tax is confiscated this year.

Allen will not complain that the old baron spent all the money from previous years. After all, low-level knights need elemental crystals to cultivate, and one piece costs a hundred gold dragons. The old baron probably used the money in the past to buy spar flowers. Empty.

After the meeting, Fabia walked out of the castle gate with a chubby body shaking.

"Administrator, wait!"

Fabia looked back, and his deputy, Tings, was walking towards him.

"My lord, the Administrative Office has been dismantled. Is the Baron dissatisfied with the Administrative Office?" Ting Si whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm only worried if it doesn't split up?" Fabia said with a narrowed smile.

Looking at the bewildered Tings, Fabia raised his head proudly. "When you understand, you can take my place."

Fabia ignored him and continued to sway home.

Although Allen really wanted to replace Fabia, after all, the position of a political officer is very important, and it is best to hold it in the hands of someone he trusts.

Fabia is too slippery, and he is not the candidate he likes, but for Mrs. Lisa's face, he can't do it too much, and at Fabia's age, he won't be able to do it for long.

Complicated matters are distributed to subordinates.

Allen came to the location of Flame Mai and dug out all the buried fire element spar. During this time, Flame Mai remained unchanged, and so did the fire element spar.

In fact, Allen should have thought of it a long time ago. If it was that simple, the magical plants in other noble territories would not grow so slowly.

Of course, Allen is very thankful that he has the function of looking up the origin beads, otherwise he would not be able to get the formula for cultivating flame wheat.

Most of the ingredients in the formula are very common, only ten fire element crystals are more expensive, and I have exactly twelve of them.

As the materials were collected, Allen began to configure this medicinal solution called "Fire Element Essence".
