The Treasury contains your personal money that you build up as you play Manor Lords. It is a resource that you can acquire at the expense of your villagers, and collecting and maintaining your Treasury can be a challenge.

Since the money comes directly from your villagers, the Treasury is not immediately available. There are a few things you need to take care of before this happens. You should try to reach this point relatively early in your Manor Lords game, but not so early that you prevent your villagers from working or paying taxes.

You can only start working on and expanding your Treasury after you have built a Manor. This building is located under the Administration category of your building menu, which requires five Timber, 20 Planks, and 15 Stone. You may need to build a Stonecutter camp to collect the Stone, but for the Planks you will need to build a Sawpit. After this, you can place the Manor in any part of your city in Manor Lords.

You can increase your treasury by levying taxes on your villagers. Taxes are problematic because they directly lower your population's approval rating. The more taxes you set, the lower this number becomes, making it harder to collect any kind of tax. You need to find a good balance between a decent level of taxes to build up your treasury without making your villagers angry. If they get too angry, your approval rating will drop below 50%, so you won't be able to add new villagers to your region.
