Tournament Payout?

Right. Maybe this is a dumb question, maybe not, I've only posted here once before so I don't know the kinds of reactions I'm going to get.

For this character, I plan on being king of the land, after a long, long time. This means no raiding villages, releasing lords, etc., which means very little money. I've also been going with Swadia(who owns half the map now), and have mostly Men at Arms and Swadian Knights. Recently my character was married, and I was told to pay 16 thousand(HOLY SHIT?!?) and so I did, got married, and realized that I had to pay salary for my troops, which since then has gone up to about 4k. I usually make my money through Tournaments, since I've already invested 20k into two dyeworks, and that only gets me 800 a week, and the enemy goes out of their way to go deep into enemy territory, ignoring all other unraided villages, just to raid mine. I'm still paying 3 thousand denars, and the tournaments are now acting weird. For some reason, there used to be tournaments everywhere, but now that I need them most, there's one every week, and they're only paying 1900, opposed to the usual 3968 they usually provide. What the hell? Why? It's really frustrating and I'm looking for some explanation, or other tips on making money.

Sorry if this post was a mess, kind of a rant.
