Actually, it wasn't surprising that William knew.
Because not only did he know, but everyone in Winster already knew—
The Military Tax Bureau had arrived.
Of course, the Military Tax Bureau was the term used during wartime; now, it was the era of peace, and the Military Tax Bureau was a relic of the past. According to the latest legislation, the organization established this time to oversee nationwide tax inspections was called the Kingdom Statistical Bureau.
Why did everyone in Winster know that the Kingdom Statistical Bureau had arrived?
The reason was simple: just this morning, five military vehicles entered the city center of Winster in a grand procession.
These five military vehicles were filled with soldiers.
It's important to note that city matters rarely disturb the military, and Winster hasn't had a garrison for years.
The nearest military base to Winster should be the Northern Fortress.
