154 Second story Territorial expansion

A few days after I turned twelve, I decided on a general policy for the future, and I tried to suggest to Mr. Flair what I had just come up with.

"Is it school?

"Yes, I want to build a school where anyone, regardless of their status, can go for three years for free."

When I heard my suggestion, I explained the same thing again to Mr. Flair, who would listen back with his neck tilted.

"I don't know... do you mind if I ask? Now is the time to save as much money as possible, right?

Sure, considering what happens when you grow up, you should save as much money as you can.

Even if you have a lot, if you use it to develop a vast amount of desolate land, it will soon be gone.

"Well, I am. Probably not a problem because the funds would be more people if they could do the underground. More than that, in the next four years, there's going to be an overwhelming shortage of talent over funding."

You can do something about the money with my idea, but you can't create talent.

"Sure... but even running this city is understaffed."

"That's right. That's why I want to build a school to develop that talent."

If people are going to get together on stickers like this, I'm not going to build a school.

Even ordinary people can do it to the extent of reading and writing, because nobility and some common people are the only decent upbringing like computation......

Whatever you think, there are too few educated people in this world who can work as civil servants running territories.

So, if it's difficult to attract good people, we've come to the idea of raising them ourselves.

"I see...... but do you think that talent will grow that far in three years?

"Don't worry about it. With three years, until I graduate from aristocratic school, no... I think I can get more academic degree"

"Huh? Noble school is six years, right? Can't a boulder force you to do that for three years?

"No, no, that's not true. You don't have to teach manners, swordsmanship, or magic in class like you do in a noble school. It's just a school to raise a civilian."

The goal is to train experts.

There's no need to raise an all-mighty person, like an aristocratic school.

Besides, I'm going to make sure I can't get into school without someone who can read and write.

So three years should be enough.

"Is that what you mean? Then why not create three classes: Knight Major, Mage Major, and Civilian Major? Because knights and wizards are lacking in this territory."

"Oh, that's nice! … three majors."

Sure, the shortage of Knights people has always been a problem, and wizards... no, because only a few people can hire people to use magic.

I didn't know the problem could be solved in school, either.

"That sounds interesting. That, hiring. All right, when that happens, we'll get ready! The goal is my thirteenth birthday."

Three years. By my adulthood, my thirteenth birthday is the key line.

"La, next year...... I get it. Now, I'll leave it up to you to arrange for teachers, etc. I'd appreciate it if Leo thought about building a school and classroom curriculum."

Mr. Flair made a difficult face to my suggestion for just a few seconds, but, admittedly, he immediately started making plans.

Sorry I know you're busy originally......

"Copy that. Ah, the knight major and the wizard major teacher don't mind using our knight"

Because it's going to be hard to find someone who can teach you magic and swordsmanship.

I'm sorry I cut your training time, but I'm going to try to get you to be patient because it's for the future.

Copy that, sir.

"Well, do you want to go to real estate and ask if there's a good building? If not, do we have to expand the east side, which hasn't built the walls yet?

With that in mind, I moved toward the city.

I hope you have just the right mansion ~.

Ten Years later

"Excuse me! Murdine territory has become more and more popular here recently, and good mansions have been bought up by the presidents of the big chambers of commerce"

"Oh, yeah. Yeah...... ok. Oh, I can't help it. We'll have to spread east."

Even those in the underground have already bought all the land, so there's no room for a school right now.

I'm going to build a big school there, so I won't be able to do anything but expand the territory.

"Huh!? Are you expanding your territory?

When I was thinking about the future, the store owner's grandma ate at me.

"Yes, but... oh, you want to buy land, don't you?

Boulder, you're a merchant in this city. I'll be eating up on the money story soon.

"Yes... most of the mansions here have been sold and are not in business"

Well, I made a fortune for that, so isn't that good?

Think about it, and think about whether it's okay to sell your land to your grandma.

No, think about what terms to put on as selling.

"Yeah...... oh, I came up with a good thing"

Yeah. Yeah. Now, let's get the students together.

"Huh?"

"I need to ask you a favor..."

Then, explaining my plan, Grandma was a little worried, but she managed to help me.

A Week Later

"All right! End of expansion east!

Long live from the finished walls, looking at the school and all the other land we plan to build.

The truth is, I didn't mean to spend this much time on the expansion.

It would have taken a week to go to the country to see if it was okay to spread the land on the east side, or if the north and south walls had been built together.

Well, I wish I could do it in a year, so that's about the margin of error.

We need to shape the city faster than that.

"In the meantime, will you lay the road looking at the map before you build it so that you can easily see where it is?"

A map is a blueprint for the city that I made with my real estate grandma and Elsie.

Hopefully, it will remain a map of the school district of our territory.

The territory I've expanded this time is a quarter of Murdine territory, and I plan to make this all a school district and a training ground for the Knights and Magic Knights.

I intend to build a library and a large school in the center of the school district and build cheap apartments for students around it.

Building a library is for the common people and students in the city who don't usually have a chance to read books.

I worried about honestly building books in this world because they're so expensive, but if you're going to build a school, the library's a set, right? So I decided to make it.

The school is not supposed to be completed within the deadline, no matter what people think of this again, so I build it with creative magic, but I decided to leave the apartment for students to the grandma in real estate.

It would be nice if students could live in a grade within a year, so there's no need to rush that far.

And, of course, instead of selling you cheap land, I promised my students cheap rent settings.

Now we can bring in young people living in other territories, right?

And as for the Knights and Magic Knights training ground... from now on I decided to build it in the hope that the number of joiners would increase steadily and that the castle training ground alone would no longer fit in.

The training ground is going to build all kinds of interesting tricks, so I'm going to build it with creative magic, just like the school.

Schools take precedence over training grounds, so it will be a long time before they are built, but I can't help but think of a variety of interesting training equipment from now on and want to build a training area quickly.

So hurry up and build a school?

Oh, but there's a lot I'd like to try at school.

Yeah - I want to try that one too, and this, ah, but doing this is on a boulder......

Then, when I was thinking about what kind of school to build, I finished laying the road.

All right, starting tomorrow, we're building a school!
