Starting Life as a Baron

"Boltzman, you make a musket first, then show me how to continue to improve."

"And." Alan thought of something.

"The turrets and shields last time were very good, since there is no shortage of manpower here, you will make another batch.

"Yes!"

Only then did Alan go back with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered that he had promised Cecil Mina to arrange a job for Cruise and Mina, but he forgot about them.

Alan was a little embarrassed and rushed back to the palace.

Sure enough, as soon as he landed, he saw Edward waiting - himself.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cruise and Lord Mina have been waiting for you for a day.

Edward looked at Alan, "Would you like to meet them?"

"Well, let them come see me." Alan nodded, trying his best to remain calm.

It didn't take long for Cruise and Mina to arrive.

Cruise was okay, his face was very calm, and he couldn't see anything, while Mina was a little unkind, staring at Alan.

"The two of you have been waiting for a long time. It's really too much work and I forgot the time." Alan was still a little embarrassed.

"I wonder what jobs you two want?" Alan asked.

It's not that there are too few jobs, it's that there are too many jobs, and Alan doesn't know what they're suitable for.

"I would like to follow the Grand Duke's orders." Cruise lowered his head and said, looking very respectful.

It's hard to do, Alan frowned for a moment.

The three major legions are now lacking a suitable commander, and it is not very good to always let Jackson act as a plenipotentiary.

But Cruise is a newcomer now, let him manage the legion, no matter which one I am afraid some people will not accept.

And Mina, a woman, is even more difficult to manage.

"Well, Cruise, there are still more than 400,000 dragon blood warriors in the Kingdom of Alan, are you willing to lead them?

Cruise looked at Alan in disbelief. He had no idea that he could lead those dragon blood warriors.

After all, he knew that the 400,000 Dragon Blood Warriors were the absolute elites of the Alan Kingdom, and they also played an important role in the last war.

He did not expect that a newcomer himself could lead them.

In fact, Alan had no choice. Those Dragonblood Warriors had been left alone for many days. It just so happened that Cruise was not weak, so he let him go up.

"My subordinates are willing." Cruise looked happy.

"Well, let's go down first." Alan waved and let Cruise go down.

Suddenly, only Mina was left in the hall.

Alan looked at Mina, frowning a little, she was really difficult to arrange as a woman.

"Or, Mina, will you manage my intelligence system?

"Intelligence system?" Mina said silently, a little puzzled.

"Oh. That's a branch of my chamber of commerce, which is usually hidden through the chamber of commerce..."

Alan briefly introduced it, and Mina's eyes lit up, "It sounds good.

"Well, I need you to spread the intelligence system to the entire Radiance Empire within one year, and spread the intelligence system to the other three empires within three years, can you do it?"

"Of course." Mina didn't seem to realize anything and agreed without hesitation.

"I will let the Chamber of Commerce fully assist you." Alan smiled and looked at Mina without saying anything. She would naturally mature when she hit a wall.

The next day, Alan summoned the ministers, ready to do a great job.

Baskulih, as Prime Minister, was the first to report.

"Your Majesty, the six duchies of the Kingdom of Alan, as well as the king's territory, are now on the right track, and the inhabitants are starting to work again, but since it is winter now, production will not be possible until spring.

"Well, what about Baskulih's previous taxes in our Alan kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, our Alan Kingdom's tax revenue is only 70%, which is very low." Baskulih looked proud.

Alan doesn't know what to say, the seventh floor is still low? It's really some vampires.

That is to say, because of the help of magic, people will not starve to death, but their people must not live very well.

"Baskulih, starting from today, the taxation of the Alan Kingdom will be adjusted to 50%, not only the Alan Kingdom, but also the Chomonri Duchy, Hilton Duchy, and Lane Duchy they must do the same.

The taxes of the Principality of Alan have already been adjusted under Alan's hands, so there is no need for Alan to worry about it now.

Alan is not like the other people who are crazy about making money.

He can know that the best way is to hide the wealth from the people. Otherwise, no matter how rich the country is, it is useless.

･････････････････････････････

Now it is a continent that respects strength, but the principle is also universal. If the people have spare money, the country will develop.

"Your Majesty, this can't be done!" Baskulih was not surprised by Alan, he was very excited, and Alan reached out his hand to stop what he was about to say.

"Okay, just listen to me. 99

Anyway, now that he is the head of a country, there is no need to explain everything to others, and they will naturally understand after a long time.

Baskulih hesitated, but agreed.

"Your Majesty, I am naturally willing. But the seven-tier taxation of the kingdom is a rule. If we change it privately, others will be dissatisfied."

Alan didn't think of this. Before, he was not a principality at most, and others didn't bother to care what he did. Now that he is the king, naturally many people pay attention to him.

But he didn't take it seriously either, so let's talk about it when others want to talk about it.

"Don't worry, just do as I say."

Alan looked at Rogner, the chairman of the Sapphire business behind the Chancellor of the Exchequer Sparrow.

"Rogner, how's Sapphire's earnings?"

Rogner hurried forward when he heard his name.

"Your Majesty, the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce has now spread to several other countries, with a monthly profit of about ten million.

"So much?"

Many people were surprised when they heard Rogner's words. They knew that the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce was very profitable, but they did not expect to reach this point.

"Well, the last gift potion of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce will not be sold in the future, and we will only use it in the Kingdom of Alan in the future. 99

Rogner became anxious when he heard Alan's words.

After all, the final gift is a big selling point of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, this potion also occupies a very important department of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce, and the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce also successfully entered the circle of nobles by virtue of this potion.

Hearing Alan say this, Rogner didn't know why, but he didn't dare to refute, "Yes, Your Majesty.

Alan didn't hide it from them, "This is a deal I made with His Majesty the Radiant Empire. Our Duchy of Alan handed over the formula and sales of the potion, and His Majesty the Radiant Empire helped us. 35

"He promised to make the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce cover the glorious empire within a year." Xiao.
