My Empire War Game

Many nobles in the Kingdom of Florence still opposed Su Lun and publicly announced that they would not recognize Su Lun's throne. Before Su Lun had limited troops, he did not take care of them. As a result, these people became more and more troublesome.

Those Su Lun families in the north have already been exterminated by the Marquis of Savoy, a legendary warrior. Those rebel nobles are not opponents at all. In less than a month now, there are already two rebel nobles If they were beheaded, their territory would be taken back, and the property would be divided equally between Su Lun and the Marquis of Savoy.

After the arrival of grass-roots officials mobilized by Su Lun from Zhenbei City, San Fierto City began to reform the tax system. Su Lun canceled many taxes in kind, such as firewood tax and tithe tax, and even the Dingkou tax. It was abolished. The butcher tax was also called the poll tax. In the former Kingdom of Florence, everyone in the kingdom, regardless of gender, had to pay the poll tax. There were ten coppers per month for men, eight for women, and children over five years old. You need to pay five poll taxes until you reach adulthood.

After all these taxes are abolished, only the agricultural tax is levied on ordinary farmers, and the agricultural tax is 40% per mu of farmland, which is much lighter than the previous tax of the Kingdom of Florence. It turns out that the tax of the Kingdom of Florence is 30%, but there are many miscellaneous taxes that need to be paid. Finally, when added up, the tax is almost equivalent to 80% of the land tax.

This has far exceeded the 40% tax set by Su Lun, and Su Lun came to find out before that all the taxes collected will not be handed over to the treasury, but all parties will work together, and finally only about 10% is left. .

As for the commercial tax, the collection is even more. When it was collected in the past, the tax was less or even not collected for the big nobles, but for the ordinary caravan, the tax was directly increased several times, and the result was that the merchants were forced to pay more. Keep moving closer to the nobility.

The reduction of merchants has also led to lower and lower commercial taxes. Su Lun has previously decided that the proportion of commercial tax collection is the same for nobles and ordinary merchants. The road is like murdering parents, and those nobles are obviously very dissatisfied with Su Lun's forced tax collection.

But the reality is that they dare not take any action. Su Lun's current strength is no longer something they can resist. If you can accept it honestly, after all, if you accept it, you will only lose part of your money. If you dare to resist, His Majesty the King will not show any mercy. Since he ascended the throne to the present, dozens of nobles have been killed by him.

The nobles who were killed would have their noble titles canceled and their lands and fiefdoms confiscated. Su Lun obtained a large amount of land through this method, and then leased these lands to those landless poor. After planting to the poor, 10% of the harvest will be collected as rent, 40% will be paid in taxes, and they will have 50% left for living.

After renting out these lands, the original poor people in San Firto City have almost disappeared, and the whole city has become more prosperous and lively.

After reforming the tax system, the tax revenue of San Fierto City was directly doubled, so Su Lun also had enough money to build more troops. After the formation of the army was completed, Suren also acquired several cities around the city of San Firto. Then transform these cities according to the city of San Fierto.

This was originally the territory of the royal family, and the transformation is less difficult, and there are troops sent by Su Lun on the side, and the nobles of San Firto City are an example, so the transformation of these cities is relatively smooth. Originally, the officials in these cities All of them were gathered and sent to the prison in San Fierto City to receive ideological education and reform. After completing the reform, they would continue to hold their previous positions.

And while carrying out ideological transformation, Su Lun also provided management training for these people to improve their abilities, and Su Lun also assigned some of the grassroots officials brought by Zhenbei City to become officials. In addition to handling various government affairs, these officials are also the supervision of the original officials.

After completing the ideological education of the officials, Su Lun let them implement the new tax system. At the same time, Su Lun also started urban sanitation management for several cities. Now all the nobles in the Kingdom of Florence know that this His majesty the new king is obsessed with cleanliness and has very high requirements for the hygiene of all cities.

In addition to these, I like to demolish the slums. When demolishing the slums, all the gangsters and thieves are also eliminated. These tasks require a lot of money and force to support. The two legions formed in San Firto City have been split up and sent to the surrounding cities to sit in town. With these troops, various systems can be implemented smoothly.

Su Lun has already begun to form more legions. Because of the establishment of the military camp, the training speed of the army has increased a lot. It only takes two months for those ordinary people to be trained to become qualified soldiers.

Although he could lead the soldiers of the North Wind Principality to kill those rebels easily, but how could he manage so many territories by himself, so he could only cultivate manpower, build an army at the same time, and then expand his territory. Although it was a bit slow to do so, his control over the place was very high.

Those cities controlled by Su Lun also started to build prisons and military camps. It is impossible for Su Lun to recruit soldiers in San Fierto City all the time. Other cities will also recruit soldiers, and then send these soldiers to the military camps for training to form a new army. . Among the formed armies, the North Wind Principality's army will also join them, serving as squadron leaders and above. According to this method, Su Lun can quickly control a large number of troops.

Although the combat effectiveness of the army has temporarily decreased, the strength of these soldiers will increase rapidly after several times of clearing monsters and fighting.

In addition to the rapid growth of the army, Jin Yiwei's strength has also begun to expand rapidly. In San Ferto City, a mansion near the noble district in the north of the city was quietly bought. A dozen soldiers in black military uniforms stood on both sides of the gate. There is also a plaque hanging on the gate with the words Jinyiwei written on it.

The gate of Jinyiwei was open, and there were people coming in and out from time to time, clerks walking back and forth in the courtyard, and warriors wearing black clothes, swords around their waists, and black scarves hurriedly walking on the road. It was the Jinyiwei formed by Su Lun.

A large number of reins were tied to the hitching post next to the house, and several fine horses galloped in or out from time to time. On the streets around the house, the common people in the city felt strange about this house, and they didn't know what Jin Yiwei did. But after waiting for a while, the surrounding civilians began to subconsciously stay away from this place.

In this manor, there are often many people who are arrested in shackles and dragged in by those Jin Yiwei exuding a cold aura, and wailing sounds can often be heard around this manor.

Jin Yiwei is another force of Su Lun. This force was not strong at first, but now it is feared by many people. Jin Yiwei is not only used to inquire about intelligence, but also to monitor the interior in a timely manner.

Su Lun flipped through the documents casually, and asked without raising his head, "How is Jin Yiwei's preparations going?"

Hearing what Su Lun said, Byrne, the Jinyi guard next to him, immediately replied: "Currently, there are 130 Jinyiwei in San Ferto City, more than 300 outside spies, and more than 400 eyes and ears."

"Three hundred spies were developed. Now in the Kingdom of Florence, such spies are almost the same as ordinary people. Among them, the city of San Firto has the largest number, and other cities have more or less."

The Jin Yiwei said respectfully.

"I heard that Jin Yiwei has been very busy during this period and has already arrested more than a dozen nobles who secretly joined forces."

"Yes, all of them have been sent to Zhao Prison."

Su Lun smiled, he was very satisfied with Jin Yiwei: "However, the information submitted by the inspector must be carefully reviewed, and try not to cause unjust, false or wrong cases."

The Jinyiwei founded by Su Lun actually had similar functions to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but there were also many differences.

In his previous life, Jin Yiwei sometimes made accusations in order to invite credit and rewards, and used all means to expand the scope of his involvement, creating a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases. It's just that Su Lun is very strict now, and these Jin Yiwei dare not do this at all.

"At present, Jinyiwei is doing well, but you have to remember one thing, this is not enough, not only in the northern provinces, but also in the major cities and settlements in the south, I set up The purpose of Jin Yiwei is to patrol the world and monitor those nobles or other people who want to overthrow our rule."

"In addition to paying attention to domestic affairs, I also need to learn more about other countries in the future. I need you to form an intelligence network like a spider web as soon as possible to collect intelligence and deliver news for me."

"Okay, I will speed up the construction." Byrne nodded and said.

"By the way, how many Eagle's Nests have been built?"

"Not counting the Eagle's Nest in Zhenbei City now, we have already built four Eagle's Nests, but there is still a shortage of falcons, and the number of falconers is limited." Byrne said with some embarrassment.

"Eagle's Nest will continue to be built. This is the key to our intelligence network. I will let more people join Eagle Trainer."

"Obey!"

"When the nobles who committed crimes are arrested in the future, you Jinyiwei can leave one-fifth of the property as a development fund. This money can only be used to develop Jinyiwei, and it is not allowed to be used for other purposes. I will send someone to watch."

"Obey!" Byrne said with joy on his face. Although the funds can only be used for development and construction, they are still a lot of money.
