For some reason, Allen found that after he sent an invitation to Jamila, he never had any spare time.

Every morning, Manid would line up at the door with a large number of young officials carrying stacks of documents, and report to Allen about his income for the year.

This includes the toll tax paid by passing caravans, the main source of which is the income brought by the high pass and the old dense forest road.

The second is the various shops in the town, as well as the income from selling honey candies, various dairy products, and fruit wine.

Looking at the thick ledger, Allen suddenly had a headache, not that he couldn't understand it, it was not difficult for Allen to sort out the numbers in front of him.

In any case, he has also received a relatively complete education, and has been hanging around in the office for several years.

And after a short period of adaptation, he was able to figure out the ins and outs of it, and discussed some plans for next year with Manid.

For example, some goods have increased taxes, while some goods have correspondingly reduced taxes, so that business activities can be maintained in a relatively stable state in this territory with tens of thousands of people.

Allen is certainly not the kind of lord who stares at gold and silver. He still has some understanding of the importance and role of taxation.

However, what troubled His Majesty the king was that such a job was too boring, and he hadn't experienced such a thing for almost ten years.

For a moment, Allen suddenly realized that being the king was not much different from how he felt when he was at work.

As for the situation of various incomes, just relying on the whole morning, it is naturally endless to discuss.

Manid, who was full of excitement, left Wendreburg with his men, and said that he would come back tomorrow morning.

In fact, the former businessman who was obsessed with making money and the current Rovanian Finance Minister always felt that he had learned something new from his king this morning.

At the same time, I was also happy for myself, because the boss I was loyal to was not the kind of lord who insisted on money.

And after Allen had a simple lunch, the old but still hale and hearty old Carl brought several old people who were not too young to come to Allen to discuss next year's planting plan.

Rovanian, who is still relying on self-planting and self-use, must not be sloppy with such things, and the things planted are different depending on the location.

Counting from Feslet, the temperature will be higher as you go south. Most farms grow various seasonal vegetables while planting wheat and grains.

For example, lettuce, tomato, carrot, onion, mushroom, etc., most of these increasingly abundant types of vegetables are passed down from Shire.

At the same time, there is a proverb passed down from the Shire, which is related to potatoes. The original words are as follows: Unless it is absolutely necessary, no hobbit will eat potatoes as a staple food, because it will affect How you feel when you eat your next meal.

And Allen, who heard this sentence, of course knew why, because eating too many potatoes would cause indigestion, affect appetite, and also cause symptoms of excessive farting.

This is of course intolerable for a hobbit who eats seven meals a day.

From Faslet to the north, the temperature will drop rapidly, and most of the land there is planted with flax, corn, and beans, and there are also large tracts of pastures for the development of animal husbandry.

Most of the sheep and horse herds under Allen's name are in the north.

When the time comes to winter, when there is no working time in the fields, most of the cattle will be led to the land in the north, so that it will be more convenient to take care of them.

Landforms like hills and mountains have gradually been turned into orchards by the hard-working people over the years, planting some fruit trees such as apples, pears, hawthorns, and red dates.

In most cases, these fruit trees do not require too many people to serve them, because the status of fruit in Roanian is just a condiment in daily life and will not be regarded as a staple food.

Moreover, the humans in Rovanian are also willing to share these fruits with the small animals in the forest, as long as there are no pests and diseases.

Of course, most of the fruit trees have not yet entered the full fruiting period. These fruit trees are only a few years old, and the output of each autumn is limited.

It is only at this mature time that cabinet officials are needed to organize some personnel to complete the work of harvesting.

In fact, in this era, most of the ownership of mountains and hills, even orchards, belonged to the king.

In the valley where the river flows, there are also some people who are good at taking care of plants, and they will choose some delicate and expensive fruits and plant them on sunny hillsides.

For example strawberries, cherries, grapes.

But just understanding these things took Allen almost an entire afternoon.

Because Alan really doesn't know much about this aspect. Although he once experienced the rural scenery when he was young, when it comes to farming, he really doesn't know much.

During the intermission, Allen also took the time to deal with a dispute, that is, there was a dispute between the male owners of two farms because of the water source, and in the end the two sides had a bloody fight.

This is considered a vicious incident in Rovanian's eyes, and its components are complicated. There are fighting elements in it, and at the same time, it is related to the decree "Regarding Encouraging Residents to Go Out to Open Farms" issued by the cabinet.

The officials in charge of this incident, while feeling a little embarrassed, could only bring these two people to Allen.

While surprised that such incidents also need to be dealt with by the Prime Minister, Allen fined the two for fighting.

At the same time, he also told the two that he would send someone to check the local situation and see if some canals could be repaired so that the needs of the two farms could be met at the same time.

At this time, Allen, of course, had already thought of the reason why he was so busy.

After casually asking an attendant to inquire, he knew that Jamila had taken people to Iowia. As the end of the year was approaching, the officials there also needed to report the situation of the entire village to the cabinet.

As for why those officials didn't come to Faithlet, it was of course because seeing is believing.

After all, Iowia is the territory directly under the royal family, and the distance from Feislet is not far away. In the case of riding a carriage, in three to five days, Jamila can almost return.

In fact, most of the people who came to Allen now were the work to be completed after Jamila came back, and now all of them were pushed to His Majesty the King.

In this way, it can also free up a long time for the Prime Minister to travel in half a month.

This was Jamila's plan, and when she left in the morning, she just smiled playfully at Ellen, instead of telling her lover about it.

Allen, who was thinking about other things at the time, thought that Jamila was just going to inspect some work.

Of course, these tasks must not trouble Allen, and quite a few of them must be understood by a lord.

It's just that Allen before has been busy fighting, and all such things are being resolved and decided by Jamila.

Of course, during this ten-year period, the cabinet has also trained many young officials to help the increasingly busy prime minister.

What about Allen?Most of his main energy was spent on the military, either preparing for war or leading troops to fight.

Even without these two things, Allen's considerations are all related to the military.

For example, what he has been thinking about recently is how to arrange the vast land east of the Black Forest.

Before going to Gondor, Allen had arranged a very important task for his second lord, his former attendant, and now the master of Heidelberg, Allen.

That is to keep an eye on those Dongyi people who are still active in Rovanian.

However, as Allen went south, the Dongyi people living in Rovanian were also under the cover of heavy snow, and followed Ashur's son back to Luen, leaving only a messy land.

After Allen came back, he immediately learned this information from Allen's report.

You know, the land abandoned by the Dongyi people is tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is almost the size of half of South Korea. Even if you don't consider the slightly barren land in the north, it is just the fertile land near the waters of the Benliu River. That's enough to feed a lot of people.

But occupying that piece of land also has a more troublesome problem for Allen, and that is distance.

The Black Forest, which is nearly [-] kilometers wide, separates Rovanian into east and west. With the convenience of transportation, Allen can barely control Changhu Town.

But there are still some problems in wanting to control the farther East Rovanian.

In this regard, Allen can only consider the method used by medieval kings, the enfeoffment system.

Of course, whether it is Gondor or Rohan, they are also using this method of rule, and compared to their allies, Allen's methods may be considered clever.

At the very least, when he was building his team, he trained quite a few officials to help him control a large area of ​​directly-administered territory.

In addition, Allen also has the help of a simulator, which can guarantee the loyalty of his vassals to a certain extent.

However, this does not include Bard's family, but Allen will never doubt the lords of River Valley City. Their character, in another track, has withstood the test of time.

Now, Allen still has some hole cards in his hand, which are suitable for playing at this time.

The first card, of course, is the more than 300 heavy cavalry who have followed him all the way south and have fought so far. Their main components are a small number of Swadian knights, plus a large number of Kugit cavalry.

As a king, Allen can fully trust the loyalty of these people, and at the same time, they have enough merits to obtain their own fief.

Therefore, Allen plans to canonize more than 300 people as knights, and then assign [-] prisoners of war to each of them to go to Eastern Rovanian to open up the land. This can also help Feislet solve the problem of too many prisoners of war.

Because there are indeed too many, many times these prisoners of war have squeezed out the jobs that originally belonged to citizens, which is not a good thing for Rovanian, who is on the rise.

As for the land in East Rovanian, there is actually nothing to develop, because the Dongyi people had already reclaimed a large area of ​​cultivated land in the first year before they left.

In fact, there is a lot of ready-made land there, but people need to take care of it and cultivate it.

In addition to allocating prisoners of war, Allen has another card in his hand, which is also very suitable to play at this time.

Before the war with the Dongyi people began, Allen had formed thousands of knight apprentices, and after three or four years, most of these children had graduated, and it was time to find them The teacher started the internship.

This also happens to be in line with Alan's current thinking. Isn't it a good thing for a newly-canonized knight to bring a few apprentices who have just started?

What is it called?This is called post-graduation package assignment work.

At the same time, there are also some northern humans who had to stay in the river valley in order to take refuge during the war.

Some of them are the subjects that Alan accepted from the canyon, and many are slaves rescued from the Dongyi people.

These people have not opened up their own land near the town in just one or two years, and now they only rely on doing some short-term labor to maintain themselves and their families.

And there are many of these people, probably in the thousands.

If they are willing to return to their homeland, Allen also intends to hand over these northern humans to his knights for management.

This can also make the gradually overcrowded river valley more relaxed. Otherwise, Allen will have to plan his northward journey in advance, learn from the former Iotheod people, and let some people live near the gray water. .

It is very close to the Gray Mountains, and it is a very suitable place for the development of animal husbandry. Allen originally planned to let Tuoju take the people from the horse-wrangling village there.

But there is no need to worry so much now.

If the whole plan follows Allen's arrangement, each knight can basically have two to three attendants, about [-] citizens, plus [-] prisoners of war who had to work hard for atonement. about there.

Although the number of people is much smaller than that of some normal knights, it is not without a good side.

Because the weapons and equipment used by these knights in battle, and even the horses, are all in charge of Allen, which even includes repairs after damage.

Compared with ordinary feudal knights, their pressure can be said to be much lower.

The main task that Allen entrusted to them was to occupy the land there for themselves, and to guard against the surprise attack of the Dongyi people in the first place.

This requires an experienced general who is proficient in combat to be in charge of the entire plan.

And who else can Allen choose besides Fatis?

Did I write Carl to death?I can't remember clearly, am I dementia?
