Black Iron Crown

Logan's report was much simpler than Sir Baragon's, but the documents he sent were equally complicated. It recorded how much money was spent to buy intelligence personnel, how much salary was paid to how many spies, and The name of each spy and where they work.

After a brief glance, Reiner put it on the table, and then looked at Aizei.

As the minister of commerce in Leiner's court, he is in charge of all business situations and commercial taxation in the land directly under Leiner.

He came up and saluted Reiner with an exaggerated expression, his humble appearance was about to tuck his head into his crotch.

"Dear, great, benevolent, generous Grand Duke of the North, His Majesty Reiner Moreland, please allow your humblest and most loyal servant to report to you everything I am in charge of!"

This series of compliments from Aizexi made Reiner feel a little uncomfortable, so he quickly waved his hand to ask him to report as soon as possible.

"The statistical date is as of August 20th, 32nd year of the Empire. Your Majesty's commercial activities in your territory have increased by 8% compared to last month. Compared with four years ago, the growth rate has become smaller, but the incremental increase The amount has increased a lot!"

"There are 38 woolen cloth factories in the territory that have applied to His Majesty the Grand Duke, employing about 2,000 female workers to participate in weaving. At the same time, retail weaving has also reached 40% compared with last year. Five, in the commercial tax provided by the woolen cloth has reached..."

"Forty gold coins per month. Within your territory, His Majesty, the tax amount for the woolen cloth production certificate reaches forty gold coins per month!"

In general, there are 12 big merchants in the northern border with funds above 100 gold coins, 105 small merchants with less than 50 gold coins, and 580 small merchants with less than 10 gold coins. Eight people, they have initially promoted the commercial prosperity of the northern border. In addition, the number of foreign businessmen has also increased from 53 people in June four years ago to 466 people now, and the number has doubled by about 9. times more! "

"Last month, that is, the commercial tax in July reached 460 gold coins. According to my estimate, in about six months, our monthly commercial tax can reach 500 gold coins!"

"My report is over, Your Majesty!" Aizexi saluted Reiner again, and then put the document in his hand on the desk of Reiner.

Reiner nodded slightly. He is quite satisfied with the commercial development in the territory. Although for him now, his own private property is more profitable than tax collection, but as long as the northern border develops, all the transactions are not trivial. Small fights, at least can only be able to fight against the taxation.

It's all because of insufficient population, otherwise Reiner would be able to make a fortune by collecting taxes every month.

What's more, although this kind of commercial development is related to its own policies, it is also inseparable from the orders issued by Aizexi and the discussion and implementation of certain policies.

After Aizexi retreated humbly, Earl Valas stood up and said that he would report the situation of the cavalry for Leiner.

"Now our subordinates have learned a lot of fighting skills from us, and there is no need to worry about their fighting power. Other than that, everything about us is normal, and there is no unexpected situation that needs to be reported to you!"

The fact is true, Earl Valas does not need to be responsible for recruiting and training troops at all, even those subordinates, as long as they stay with the real Scarlet Griffin Knights for four months, they can have very good combat effectiveness, Nothing in particular to report.

After Earl Valas finished his report,

Earl Ryland came up, he was responsible for much more things than Earl Valas.

He needs to be in charge of the training of recruits, the implementation and training of the militia system, the maintenance of the combat effectiveness of veterans, the maintenance and damage of weapons and armor, and the reporting and distribution of military pay.

Earl Leyland has carefully looked at the document in his hand from just now, for fear that there may be any mistakes or omissions that may mislead His Majesty the Grand Duke.

After confirming that it was correct, Earl Ryland began to report to Reiner.

"Your Majesty, the exact number of ordinary infantry under your command is 2,489. There are a total of eight regiments, and each regiment has more than 300 soldiers!"

"Among these eight companies, from August last year to August this year, the wear rate of the armor was about 20%. A total of 8,800 armor pieces were replaced. On average, each person replaced four pieces!"

"As for the chain armor, the maintenance is relatively complete, so there are not many repairs that need to be ignored for the time being!"

"In addition, you have 812 sergeants under your command, and you have two wings, each of which has 400 people, and this number is still increasing!"

"As for our military service retesters, there are 21,000 people, but their level varies from good to bad, and they are scattered in villages one by one, waiting for your recruitment at any time."

"The number of our archers has not changed, 500 recurve archers and 100 crossbowmen, but we have 2,000 registered legal hunters in the militia. Conscript them into the army and quickly become qualified archers!"

Afterwards, Earl Corder stepped forward. As Reiner's palace minister and also the chief courtier, he holds most of the data in Reiner's territory.

After he first reported the major cases and trivial matters in the territory, he began to report the most important data, the population!

"According to the census we have conducted in the territory in accordance with your Majesty's orders over the years, there are a total of more than 367,500 people in your territory as of August 20th, and this number fluctuates. "

"Last month, the village elders and tax officials reported to us that there were 2,455 adult males this year. In addition, our number of immigrants from all over the world also reached eight per month. More than a hundred people!"

After finishing speaking, Earl Corder looked at Rainer with a smile on his face, and he was also very satisfied with the recent development of the northern border.

And at this moment, Reiner noticed that Logan was winking at him, and he immediately understood.

"Okay, I am very satisfied with the development of the territory, you go out first, Logan, you stay!"

After everyone left, Logan walked to Reiner's side and took out another document from his pocket.

"Your Majesty, according to your previous order to me, I have also established an intelligence network in your vassal's territory, and at the same time I have certain information about their army, according to what you asked me to pay attention to three months ago The news, I have mastered it all!"

Logan handed the document to Reiner, and said: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, what I brought you is not good news. According to the information I have, the combat effectiveness of your vassals' army is gradually declining!"

"Now that the period of war has passed, the lords think that there will be no more wars in the future. They think that what they have got is enough, and there will be no need for wars for at least ten or twenty years, so they control the army. Then I relaxed a lot...Wen Xi Wu Tian!"
