Reform 1.1: Taxes
Household tax yields 1250 gold marks per month
Trade Tax yields 500 gold marks per month
Road Tax (using a % wont work here, If I say 1 gold mark for every 100 people travelling the roads?) yields 30 gold marks per month
Import Tax yields 300 gold marks per month
Export Tax yields 600 gold marks per month
Population Happiness decreases 7 points
Minor amounts of trade moves away, -50 gold marks per month

Reform 1.2: Military
I think I got you confused, a draft army is just men you can call on to fight at a sort of last resort, they are required to work most of the time as farmers or shepherds. Also is your draft to attract people from your nation into the armed forces?
However: Incentive works, you gain two blademasters and have another one already in your nation that signs up. Cost to maintain is 45 gold marks per month. However you have proper tutors now. 10 veterans come to your nation, cost to keep them is 100 gold marks per month. You also attract 2 blacksmiths, 3 fletchers and 3 horse trainers, in total these cost 40 gold marks a month to maintain.
Three barracks and three stables (you currently have no horses though) are built. costing 150 gold marks aand taking a week to construct. The barracks also hold your blacksmiths and fletchers giving them workplaces ontop of that.
Weapons are gathered and stored in each of the villages armouries. (enough equipment for 75 soldiers). costs 10 gold marks (most is donated).

Done, improves morale and public happiness by +1
