English term or phrase: raise the tributes
What does the phrase mean?

It's from the TV series-Once Upon a Time.

The dialogue goes like this:

(Mother) Cora: The king's not a strong man. The kingdom will be yours. Raise the tributes, form a personal guard. Let everyone know where the new power lies, and you'll hold the hearts of your people in your hands.

(Daughter) Regina: Is that what you would do, Mother?

Cora: That's exactly what I would do.

Regina: Well, the thing is I don't want to be you.

贡赋
Explanation:
nadico翻成‘供金’意思差不多了,不过中文有现成的‘贡赋’一词。attributes愿意是指国王向国土范围内的土地所有者(比如大多数有爵位的人)要求每年进贡的财物。这里Cora告诉女儿国王不是一个很有主见的人,她可以为所欲为。她应该提高领主们每年进贡的数目,好组建自己的个人卫队,让大家知道真正的权力在谁手里。
