Rules: There is a four-year period that is free from taxation. During that time the settlers are to clear the land of trees and build their homes in a straight row. Each settler may clear 30 morgens of land.

Taxes are due 10 November each year from each settler:

• 67 gulden
• ¼ of all oats harvested (or 8 gulden)
• 2 geese (or 2 gulden)
• 2 roosters (or 6 groschen)
• 1 dozen eggs (or 12 groschen)
• 1 wagon of chopped, split wood (or 12 gulden)

Work required from each settler each year:

• 4 days digging ditches/ graves (or 2 gulden)
• 4 days harvesting crops for The Count (or 2 gulden)
• 1 day scythe work (or 1 gulden)
• 1 day cleaning mud, mire, manure (or 2 gulden)
• 2 days hoeing fields for The Count (or 1 gulden)
• Plowing 3 morgens of field for The Count (or 1 wagon of chopped, split wood)

Settlers must attend the Catholic Church in Krolikow:

• Baptism fee – 1 gulden + 6 groschen
• Marriage fee – 4 gulden
• Burial fee – 4 gulden

The Schulz decides if full payments have been rendered each year.

In Addition:

• The Count may nullify your ownership of land at any time.
• No one may advertise land for sale from another town.
• The Count must be present if a settler’s farm is sold; The Count approves the sale and receives 10% from the price.

Infractions of The Following Rules will be Severely Punished:

• No one may bring drink into town to sell.
• Stay out of My Forest. Damage to My Forest must be reported.
• No hunting in My Forest. Villagers may ‘drive the animals’ during one of my hunts and will receive a meal and drink.
