What is the best Way to earn more Florins?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

In my games my main money shortage comes when I am not fighting powerful enough enemies and my troops are draining my cash. In that case I go off and have a merry war and lose a bunch of troops and get a lot of money, then I build a bunch of troops and the cycle continues.

As the Vikings, the best thing to do is to set taxes to auto. Not because it's unimportant, but because in the viking starting position, tax income is virtually non-existant and a waste of time. If you want money, then you spread out your ships all around England and Ireland. Then, start rampaging through weakly defended provinces (preferable those with monastaries) and youll make plenty of cash off of the raiding, and dont forget to destory everything there once you capture it. Don't even bother trying to hold it, just keep plowing through to build up a nice big war chest. Once you have what you think will last you for a while, it's normally a nice idea to conquer ireland rather than simply raid it, and use it as a new staging point for your invasions. After that its normally a walk in the park if you invade from Scotland and make a steady push south until the game's over.
