Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Finally Straightened It Out

Qin Lan spoke directly, "Our agriculture and animal husbandry are mostly based on some 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 become the Lord’s wife, she was obligated to patch these holes. High productivity didn’t mean 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 mean they couldn’t become 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 measures?"

"The measures 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 farmers 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 income."

"Also, for the regions where refugees are located, we can give them a tax exemption for some time."

Fang Jie nodded, understanding the gist of these measures, but he still had some doubts.

"If we control the number, won’t our overall income decrease?"

"Losing income isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as long as we have enough. Besides, if it really comes 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 measures. Although the military and personnel matters are not too problematic, it’s best to make some adjustments."

"I would like to hear the details," Fang Jie embraced Qin Lan. There was nothing pressing after this; it was a perfect time to relax. Qin Lan appeared somewhat 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 mercenaries and adventurers within the territory also need strict supervision."

Fang Jie nodded, "That indeed is an issue, but it’s also troublesome. 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 some 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 same."

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 informed 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 mean we need to establish judicial and law enforcement departments as well?"

"We do, but that adjustment is very bothersome. 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 adjustments based on our situation. I’ll review it after the Cabinet’s system is perfected."

With these measures, 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 merely 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 meeting. They will be very eager about something 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 Parliament; perhaps they would be separated in the future.

Keeping everything accumulated together, as events increased, the system would ultimately become more cumbersome. 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 something personal," Fang Jie showed no intention of letting go. Qin Lan, knowing what was to come, 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.
