Dear Broom Knight

The Barony of Gzall is quite vibrant now.

Lady Yagris, who was once a military commander, does indeed treat these commoners and people from other territories equally.

But no matter how vibrant it is, it's impossible to have a castle built right now.

Even if Yagris started construction after promising him, it would definitely not be finished in just five years.

Just the castle blueprints would take three to five years to draw!

Even though this world doesn't rely too much on manpower for things like carrying loads because many animals also have levels, building a castle is still a task that requires a lot of man-hours.

Especially in a country that doesn't overly oppress its commoners, you have to pay enough overtime for any rush jobs.

Although Yagris of Gzall was once a famous rich woman in the kingdom, she doesn't need to burn money like that unnecessarily.

Lorry estimates that his mother must have extended the completion deadline to when he's 14, and then take two more years to complete the interior, just in time for Lorry's coming-of-age ceremony.

Mainly, although the Barony of Gzall is much better than it used to be, there is still a big gap in manpower.

The commoners, who disdain the former lord, have become accustomed to the most talented children going to the king as soldiers, and the average talented children becoming adventurers… Yes, as long as it is a fantasy world, the profession of adventurer is indispensable.

Especially since the former baron was a waste, who would always be the first to run away at the slightest sign of trouble, the people of the barony could only rely on themselves to resist various disasters that were not enough to make them abandon their homes and businesses.

Sincerely.

Anyway, as long as he could live, he didn't care what the people below were doing.

In any case, even if the great border nobles hated him, they would never let him be killed by some commoner uprising… That would be both a provocation to the king and a pulling of the noble's supreme position into the mud.

He didn't have that value, and he frankly admitted that he didn't have that value.

Anyway, he would still file small reports when he should.

Only the least talented people would stay in the territory to work… Of course, the former one didn't have many talented people willing to work for him.

They would rather take their broken talents to farm.

Anyway, the kingdom's taxes have always been low. Generally speaking, the king collects 1.5, and the fief nobles collect 2.5. Farming can still provide enough food and clothing.

Because the Northern Kingdom's boss is arrogant and domineering, it suppresses neighboring countries very severely, causing no neighboring country to dare to block their country's caravans, so commerce is very active.

Their king naturally prefers to collect commercial taxes. Although commercial taxes seem to be no different, they are based on turnover rather than profit, so they are actually quite high.

The nobles are dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do. Besides, if they run businesses in their own territories, they only need to pay 1.5 to the country according to the lowest estimate.

If they have the ability to run their businesses successfully, they can still make a lot of money… The king has always been quite lenient in this regard, and always gives a basic amount for tax payment.

Of course, the king doesn't care if you are running so poorly that you can't even pay that little tax… If you still open a store, you are either sick or have something going on, so you still have to pay.

Moreover, the king's personal expenses are all obtained from his own caravans, and he has never pocketed any of the taxes.

This is also the reason why the Northern King, despite having a stinky and bad temper, always looking for cats and teasing dogs, and taking his white dragon to join in the fun everywhere, is indeed the most supported king by the people.

Lorry's mother is very loyal to His Majesty the King… She is indeed a great knight from the King's direct legion.

Although her usual performance is not so obvious, Lorry, who has had a little awareness since he was in the womb, knows much more than Yagris is willing to reveal to him.

At least Yagris is very clear that some of the knight order members she brought have other responsibilities, but not only does she not think there is a problem, but she will also slightly cover up for these people.

The only insistence is not to let these people's children become Lorry's attendants… Although Lorry doesn't know how his mother did it, the children of those with slightly subtle identities are 5 or 6 years younger than him.

Like these children who are almost the future retainers of the heir, according to tradition, they are basically only chosen between four years older and younger.

If they are too old, it is very easy to have problems like 'Xiren' who will rely on their sister's identity to do things that restrain the young master.

Although the main reason is that Jia Baoyu is lustful, if this flower sister was not bestowed by an elder and had a little status, she would not have reached the point where she could cover the courtyard with one hand.

If they are too young, there is no need to mention it. Young masters and young ladies definitely don't have the leisure to appease children.

Lady Yagris is not cutting off their chance to enter Lorry's territory and become his subordinates, but, with the position closest to Lorry already filled, the more excellent children will inevitably choose other paths.

This small force, which will be completely formed when Lorry is 12 years old, is basically difficult to change unless someone makes a big mistake.

Even if there are newcomers, no matter how excellent they are, they can only be their deputies.

But if these children could enter the king's army to fight for a better future for themselves, but are still willing to enter Lorry's force, there must be other reasons… Staying in the Montes Earl's sphere of influence would be more normal than this choice.

By that time, Lorry, who has already officially entered the noble social circle, would not be so ignorant as to not understand this.

It's not like some life-saving grace that requires repaying nine generations of ancestors, and there is no life-and-death crisis on Lorry's side, so how could it be possible for young people to sacrifice their future value.

This is the most principle-defying thing that Lady Yagris has done for her beloved son… Lorry only understood why she would say such sad and painful words to the maid a few years after he was born.

What made her sad was that she would actually harm the interests of His Majesty the King for her own sake.

However, it's not like Lorry hasn't seen her sitting at her desk, racking her brains to figure out how to pay less tax.

It's just, very contradictory.

But knowing these past events, Lorry never thought that his mother would do anything to oppress the common people. She would never embarrass His Majesty the King because of herself.
