Chapter 32 On Track
The army is still an army, only an army. The army is Egil's greatest reliance and greatest capital - Egil will not hand over military power to others no matter what. Neither the Shenma General Staff nor the Field Marshal can take away military power from him. It is absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely-
That's it. Although I had already thought about it and prepared a complete set of central management institutions, this did not include the military. Although the territory of the Norman Kingdom had increased a lot, the military system had not improved much. At most, a small number of defensive troops stationed in various places were added. The real, extremely powerful and large number of troops were still following Egil, and Egil was commanded by Egil himself.
It's a little more troublesome.
Another recruited a general Alvin, who was roughly equivalent to Anderson's attributes - but had higher loyalty, led a reorganized five thousand troops, renamed the Prussian garrison, to guard against the Polish mobs to the south, and was ready to support other cities at any time.
However, Egil also understood that with such a little army alone, it was impossible to perfectly defend the two territories of Livornia and Prussia. But he didn't want too many troops under Alvin's command. Therefore, he decided to recruit another general. After returning to Scandinavia, he recruited another Livornia garrison.
In addition, it is confirmed that during his expedition to Eastern Europe, France was in a turbulent manner, and a large number of unknown spies sneaked into the Duke of Normandy. Therefore, Egil also planned to form a Normandy garrison army as usual and stationed in Normandy...
After a while, the money needed to spend more... After calculating the distance between his territory, Egil decided to move the capital from Biard to Gothenburg, which is being renovated, located in the Swedish territory. This required a lot of money. In addition, building the central political system also required a lot of money... The originally expected war reparations for the United Kingdom could not be in place, and the newly acquired territory might have promised a half-year tax exemption. The original territory had reduced taxes due to initial mobilization, and Egil felt quite stretched at this moment.
Finance, taxation, finance, taxation, finance, taxation, and taxation... Egil couldn't think of any source of wealth. The agricultural tax is just right now, and if it is raised, the farmers will not be able to stand it. The commercial tax once reached 70%. Now the war has temporarily stopped, and it has been reduced a little, but it is still as high as 65%. In addition, the capitation tax and the Ore Waterway toll tax, which are actually not very good for the economy, still exist. If you want to make a mistake, it will be over. Originally, many nobles have cheated, and Egil also thought of making a fortune. But in the end, in addition to a few more fields, there are not many gold, silver, precious metal coins that actually earn. It seems that European nobles are all paupers...
Forget it, let it go, at least it will be calm for a few months, and wait for tax revenue. Anyway, the mobilization has been dissolved and economic production has also recovered.
In this way, the matter of replenishing and expanding the army was temporarily put aside. Egir began to work on another task, that is, to establish a central government. According to the final result, Egir's government was indeed established. However, he killed people in Eastern Europe for so long, and all the points he received were exhausted.
"At the most, I'll give you a pair of boots, do you want it?" Just like an extremely smart salesperson, Aurora completely ignored Egil's soft and hard beatings. She didn't give her any discount. So in the end, Egil had to wear this pair of "sayed dragon skin (?)" and felt depressed in soft boots.
The functions of the central government are as follows: the highest head of state is naturally the sacred emperor Egil who is willing to be civil and military. Now after such a long battle (prestige, orthodoxy +20), the queen who married the authentic brand (orthodoxy +25), the special item that Egil had exchanged before (orthodoxy +10), the king's flag (white bird flag on blue background, morale +1, orthodoxy +5), and the upgraded ruby emblem
The ring (orthodox + 5), and the aristocratic origins of systematically forged (orthodox + 5). The orthodox nature of Egil has reached seventy points. It can be regarded as the royal family recognized by the nations. The highest orthodox is one hundred and the lowest is zero. Every time the middle value exceeds ten points, it can increase the morale of the army, the hearts of the people, the loyalty of special characters, and the favorability of diplomacy of ten points (the royal government - if it is a republican government, there is no bonus). Otherwise, it is reduced.
The head of the government of the Norman Kingdom, commonly known as the Prime Minister, Prime Minister, or Prime Minister, etc. Egil thought about it and split it into three parts. Among them, the highest in name is naturally the Archbishop of the State, who controls the power of the state and the appointment and removal of the presidents of various monasteries of the country (Egil originally wanted to destroy the monasteries and fight against the local tyrants, but he still didn't dare to think about it). This is his real person, that is, the priest Peter of the Battlefield Order. However, this appointment does not count, and it also requires the permission of the Vatican Pope. Egil has sent people to the Pope to "die" the Pope. I believe that news will be available in a while.
Next is administration. Administrative power is what Egil wants to keep the most. However, he can handle it when he is inside, but it will be a little troublesome if he leads troops outside to fight. However, Egil still insists on not setting up a head of government who specializes in administration. This is not to say that he does not set up an official in charge of this. He just changed a name, just like the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of Military Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. However, Egil is even more cruel. He doesn't even give such a better name, and just a royal supervisor to do the matter. That means: You are just a bitch who helps the emperor check for missing and fill in the gaps. Go away from the corners and feel inferior.
Even so, Egil was not satisfied. While reducing his status, he further set the number of royal appraisals to three. At the same time, each royal appraisal also had two deputys, a total of three royal appraisals, plus six deputy who became royal appraisals. In total, they formed the Royal Appraisal. As Egil's royal tool, human stamps existed. When Egil was there, they used them as coolies. When Egil was away, they asked them to vote for individuals to resolve general matters. One person, one vote, and one person and half vote.
However, there was a little problem here. When Egil worked hard to accumulate the points, he exchanged for the words: "Not enough!"
"Eh?!" Egil was very surprised. He had obviously calculated well before. He had 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, and a big businessman. The first six are royal administrators, and the last three are royal administrators. After spending all the points, he could still make money with a pair of dragon skin (?) boots. Why is it not enough to get to Aurora?
"Just just short of the money of this big businessman, and he can still afford a pair of dragon leather boots." Aurora's words were calm, but Egil was furious.
"Stop joking, okay? - I'm here to talk to you about serious business with Artoria on my back! I'll stay for a while and she'll come to me after she finishes her snacks!!!" Egil was a little crazy. Then he understood what Aurora meant - this guy probably wanted to serve as the "big businessman's position and occupy a place in the Royal Court of Representatives."
"What do you think? And your abilities are OK?" Egil was helpless. He had no choice but to say to her.
"You can just watch it yourself." After Aurora finished speaking, she closed her eyes and looked like she could pick it (?), which made Egil couldn't help swallowing.
"Damn it. She's a monster." Egil reminded himself like this, and clicked on the system interface and then called out Aurora's attributes. It turned out that this guy didn't know if it was cheating or why. He actually had the attributes of generals, princesses, assassins, diplomats and other affairs officials at the same time. Although so far, all except the big businessmen can't be opened...
Egil looked at Aurora with a little confusion and found that the guy was still closing his eyes and not speaking. So he held his heart and opened her attribute bar.
...
Twenty stars.
"...I'll take a look?!" Egil rubbed his eyes and then looked.
Still twenty stars.
So Egil couldn't help blurting out: "Are you cheating?!"
“—You cheated!”
In this way, the character with full attributes that Egil saw for the first time was born. So he just aimed at the terrifying attribute bonus of "national commercial tax + 25%, national commercial growth + 50%. Even Aurora didn't want to do it in the end. Egil would cry and beg her.
In this way, the Royal Court of Representatives was completed and the administrative capacity of the central government was greatly improved. People's satisfaction, public security rate, fiscal and taxation, and agricultural income increased significantly, government expenditures decreased, and administrative efficiency increased. The entire Norman Kingdom showed a prosperous scene.
——The above are just Egil's delusions. The actual effect will take a while before it can be seen.
