Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Finally Straightened It Out Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Finally Straightened It Out Qin Lan spoke directly, “Our agriculture and animal husbandry are mostly based on so special constructions, so the productivity is excessively high.
We can’t leave all these supplies to the local lords.”
“Otherwise, with so much material, they could easily produce a vast amount of military strength, and they could even trade food and other goods with the outside world.
Many outside forces are in great need of food.”
Qin Lan glanced at Fang Jie with a guilty conscience; she had done such things herself before.
But Fang Jie either didn’t know, or perhaps he knew but didn’t care.
Regardless, this situation was full of loopholes.
Now that she had beco the Lord’s wife, she was obligated to patch these holes.
High productivity didn’t an everything else could be ignored.
In fact, if these issues weren’t handled carefully, they could turn into major problems.
The things Fang Jie looked down upon didn’t an they couldn’t beco powerful.
“Stabilizing prices mainly refers to food and daily necessities.
But food is the most important; it must be strictly controlled.”
“If there’s surplus food in the future, we might need to produce more types of troops to balance the consumption.”
“Is that so?
Then what are the specific asures?”
“The asures are simple.
You can use the Undead to cultivate your own territory; that’s all yours and tax-free.
But for people from other territories, we can help them build farms and pastures.
However, they must send their own people for the actual planting and breeding.
Whether it’s farrs or others, they need to manage it themselves.”
“As for those special constructions, we need to control their numbers strictly; not too many.
As for taxes, since there are so many, we will temporarily take half.
I believe they won’t have objections when they see their actual inco.”
“Also, for the regions where refugees are located, we can give them a tax exemption for so ti.”
Fang Jie nodded, understanding the gist of these asures, but he still had so doubts.
“If we control the number, won’t our overall inco decrease?”
“Losing inco isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as long as we have enough.
Besides, if it really cos down to it, can’t you open your own farms?
Those won’t be taxed either; they are yours to regulate as you wish.”
That made sense.
Fang Jie decided to take note of it first and consider it carefully later.
“Those are the general tax asures.
Although the military and personnel matters are not too problematic, it’s best to make so adjustnts.”
“I would like to hear the details,” Fang Jie embraced Qin Lan.
There was nothing pressing after this; it was a perfect ti to relax.
Qin Lan appeared sowhat annoyed but didn’t resist.
“Don’t fidget, we’re talking business here.
Militarily, you can station troops around the territory.
Your military approach is quite good, balancing the strengths of the Undead and other systems.
There aren’t any major issues.”
“The only thing that needs control is the size of local military forces.
The strength of lords’ armies must be strictly limited, and the rcenaries and adventurers within the territory also need strict supervision.”
Fang Jie nodded, “That indeed is an issue, but it’s also troubleso.
I’ll set up various guilds later and use the Undead to control them; there won’t be any problems.”
The Undead wouldn’t have their personal desires, at least not until they reached a certain level.
Using the Undead would reassure everyone.
Besides, it was a symbol that could gradually get people used to the Undead, so they wouldn’t fear or loathe them at the sight.
Once they fully adapted, they wouldn’t resist even if their top lord belonged to the Undead Camp.
Right now, that wasn’t feasible, as many rebellions used the pretext of belonging to the Undead Camp.
Many misled citizens feared being turned into Undead or being slaughtered, which is why they joined the rebellions.
Often, even harsh suppression wasn’t effective.
Military affairs were Fang Jie’s focus, and in this area, his sensitivity and capability were surely not inferior to Qin Lan.
In fact, in so respects, Fang Jie’s military abilities exceeded Qin Lan’s.
Seeing Fang Jie taking it seriously, Qin Lan didn’t press further, trusting that he could handle it better.
“And one last point, personnel matters.
Although those territories have been given to their lords, we cannot fail to appoint our own officials.
Even other countries do the sa.”
This was true; a territory might have few royal officials, but they were essential.
Only with royal officials could the King oversee the territories and be inford of local actions.
Fang Jie was not the King but was as influential, so this approach was not a problem.
“So, these are the personnel issues.
We need several special positions, and the people filling these posts will be your people, not belonging to the lords themselves, and they will be rotated periodically.”
Fang Jie nodded, “This is to avoid corruption, right?
Then, does that an we need to establish judicial and law enforcent departnts as well?”
“We do, but that adjustnt is very botherso.
Let’s handle the current matters first.”
Fang Jie understood, “Let’s do it.
We’ll go by how other countries operate and then make adjustnts based on our situation.
I’ll review it after the Cabinet’s system is perfected.”
With these asures, the Territory’s system could finally be thoroughly streamlined.
Even Fang Jie could sense that once this system was operational, the Territory could be managed with ease.
It wasn’t rely the result of his Undead System or the force of the military, but a truly organic whole.
“Now that you agree, I’ll call others for a eting.
They will be very eager about sothing that can enhance their authority,” Qin Lan knew the people in the Cabinet very well.
It might be called the Cabinet, but it included the upper and lower Parliant; perhaps they would be separated in the future.
Keeping everything accumulated together, as events increased, the system would ultimately beco more cumberso.
Indeed, this tendency was already showing, but what could be done when Fang Jie’s domain was too large?
“No rush, it’s okay to wait a bit.
Since we’re done with official business, let’s talk about sothing personal,” Fang Jie showed no intention of letting go.
Qin Lan, knowing what was to co, began to blush.
“Wait, wait a second, call those two fox spirits over.” Fang Jie’s vigor was too strong for her to handle alone.
