Hans was somewhat puzzled:
"Sir, I don't quite understand why you asked them to prohibit occupying the houses of heretics? There are no ready camps here for them to rest."
"An unrestrained army will quickly turn into a mob of rioters and robbers."
Losa paused slightly, then added, "Moreover, the pagan civilians of Montreal are already struggling due to the 'Saladin Tax' and 'Unbeliever Tax'."
"If this continues, I fear Saladin will send spies to incite a rebellion."
The Saladin Tax refers to the tax levied to deal with Saladin, which everyone, whether heretic or not, must pay.
The Unbeliever Tax refers to the heavy tax paid by those allowed to keep their old faith without converting, which often takes up about half of an individual's income.
