Reforming Mataram

Tax Collectors increase the tax revenue in a province by 50% and increase the revolt risk by 3%

Chief Justices can only be placed where a Tax Collector already is. Another 50% boost to tax incomes and -1% revolt risk as the people feel more protected.

Governors, which we now have, increase a city's production income, and lower inflation empire-wide by 1%.

We have an inflation of 17%. So I am looking to place 17 governors.

September 1, 1662 - Phuket is revolting.

September 14, 1662, while sailing my explorer to Inhambane, we discover the island of Zanzibar, owned by Oman. Zanzibar is a Center of Trade, so we can send our merchants here.
