Eagle Byzantium

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and then the outspoken little Sunfish spoke first, "Mining mining requires a lot of equipment, such as pumping screws, various tools, mules and horses, water wheels, and exhaust wheels; and smelting also requires A lot of equipment, furnaces, blast ducts, and finally casting requires a lot of equipment. In short, the cost of money and labor is very huge.”

"Not only that, we also need to support sand, bricks and river transportation industries. There are too many places to invest." After listening to the words of the little sunfish, although the mushroom-headed heraldry official remained silent, Wright hurriedly added .

Gawain sat back on the chair, put his hands on his chest, looked at these three people, and listened to the difficulties they mentioned, and suddenly laughed, and then he said with some emotion, "You guys What you said is very pertinent, which shows that your abilities have really improved a lot. I remember that the little sunfish was a bad person in the past. A girl who knows the world, Wright is a Sicilian libertine who only wants to seduce women, and Andodat is a novice monk who was forcibly taken from the monastery in the mountains of Calabria... Time flies so fast. Now you are all on your own and have a lot of military and political knowledge and experience. "

After saying this, Gawain sighed lightly, and then frowned majestically, which showed that he had a set of opinions and plans to express, "The problem of river transportation is not big. Not only do we have enough barges, but also The Countess of Adana also has a duty-free shipping treaty and can use their ships to win together. In addition, Sanu The conditions of the Sidenus River and the Feramis River are better than those of the Sidnus River in central Cilicia. There is no siltation in the lower reaches, which can provide both river transportation and irrigation. It is located among many tributaries, with water power and forests. The resources are very rich, and workshop machinery can be easily established; in addition, it is backed by mountains, with clay and There is no need to worry about the output of river sand, which can be used to build furnaces for iron smelting. In addition, we can set up agricultural tools, armor and weapon workshops in the triangle area of ​​Sith City, Sich Tesla and Gemalicia. Very complete water and land transportation roads. In terms of manpower, I immediately asked the female consul to send 2,000 bailiffs. Luo sect believers, they have sufficient experience in pottery making and brick-burning; then in this area, plus the nearly 40,000 Armenians we migrated to before, the total has reached about 80,000, and there are also a group of Syrian craftsmen. Masters can use it, miners and craftsmen can always be found, and besides..."

Under the gaze of the three people, Gawain stood up and solemnly put his hands behind his waist. He stared at the paper map hanging on the beautiful white painted wall, with the entire Anatolia marked on it. The fortresses, rivers, roads and passes of Asia and Cilicia. "Now that the state of our kingdom is ready, it is time to divide its administrative regions and govern them well. Seleucia, Alamein, Mut Valley The area basically belongs to the Sixth Division It is a direct jurisdiction, so I don't have to worry about the establishment of the 'Seleucia County'; Lamas, Zephyrim, Coladio, and now the city of Tarsus, which is the West Cilicia region, has to be added. I am going to form the county of Tarsus ', and here - the 'Sisi County' that I carefully and fully prepared will become a rich and powerful iron smelting, farming and forestry production area in the future. The two 'county chief' positions are prepared to be handed over to An Deodat and Wright.”

Sheriff? This sounds like it should be an honorable official position equivalent to that of a general in the Byzantine Roman Empire, so the two heraldry officers were stunned, but they saw Gawain, who had his hands behind his back, continuing to look at the map without any intention of stopping, knowing that The prince did not like to be interrupted when he was discussing his ideas, so he remained silent.

"According to the simple official position I originally formulated, the Heraldry Officer should help me handle diplomatic and internal affairs, but now that Anna has the Orson girl, I also have Little Sunfish to help me for the time being. Therefore, the Heraldry Officer is Our duties have to be put aside for the time being. We are no more powerful than Constantinople. Empire, you should be more flexible in your official positions. Besides, you are both smart and educated people. Although your personalities are different, you can't stick to documents. In the future, I will engage in bigger and more important undertakings. The district is entrusted to you two - in the county, there are ginate fiefs such as Polybi and others, and there are sacred stipends. Gospel Farm has a large number of rural communes, as well as markets and workshops in the castle town. It is very complicated and complicated. It is no better than marching and fighting. Your first task is to set up a capable and efficient organization. County capital, although St. Paul's College has not yet been completed, it has There is a group of graduating students. I will send them all to the county to make full use of their talents. They will integrate into the county government, the Renewal Society and the fraternity and receive stipends. Ande Odat, tell me. What are your political ideas?" After talking a lot, Gawain suddenly asked Mushroom Head.

Andodat was very calm, "Divide and rule, my county will imitate the division of labor among the six divisions, manage the industries in the city and fortress, and collect market tax, toll tax, festival tax, and chimney tax, except for the part paid to the Grand Duke." In addition to the general treasury, the rest is used to pay students In addition, the county government also collects the shield tax from rural communes and the rent from public livestock and mills to form a garrison, and regularly selects personnel to form circuit courts to patrol the entire area. law and order. At the Sacred Gospel Farm, I will appoint some brothers to serve as supervisors, and will also promote some stipend farmers to assist. All the profits received will be used for the military expenses of the Grand Duke's three-wing brigade. The respective masters are autonomous and do not interfere, but the circuit court has the power to Audit their account books. The daily production, religious ceremonies and judicial cases of the rural commune are handed over to the Self-Xinhui. The members of the Self-Xinhui also own land, and can also use the litigation fees and fines paid in judicial cases, but they also have to accept circuit tours. Court review and oversight.”

"Very good." Gawain said enthusiastically, "In this case, the county will be healthy and orderly. But aren't you worried about a shortage of manpower?"

"It doesn't matter. Firstly, as the county chief, I can recommend capable people, no matter what ethnic group they are from, to take up public offices; secondly, I can also imitate St. Paul's College and establish public schools in the county and hire talented people. Virtuous people come to give lectures and cultivate various talents." Andodat's reply made Gawain nod frequently, "It seems that you are enough to manage the population of nearly 200,000 in Tarsus County."

"Now I have three questions, and I hope the Grand Duke can clarify them. One question is why Wright governs the newly acquired Sisi County instead of me. The second question is about other areas such as Fanka. Are you planning to use What kind of name will be used to manage them? The third question is how will you solve the funding required for the iron mine in Tronzak, because you have always avoided talking about this most critical topic. "Finally, An. Deodat straightened his body and asked the Grand Duke these three questions in succession. (To be continued ~^~)
