235 Chapter 2 Development Plan

Approximately a month after the wedding, when Frank returned to magic school, Kites' final negotiations were just over.

I don't know the details, but it seems that from the appearance and story of Kite at the time of delivery, it settled with contents that are not bad for the Kingdom.

Looking at the current state of the kingdom, does the Emperor give in? Well, I don't know what's actually going on until I hear more about it.

That's why I'm going to ask you about the details today.

"Is your body okay now?

"Yes, don't worry about it anymore."

"That's good. How's your honeymoon?

"Don't worry about that, too. I think I can live a happy couple life."

I had a really good time for a month.

Considering the amount of time I've been passionate about my work so far, it's not enough, but I've had a lot of dates that I haven't been able to do before.

Even if we add up the last month, we'll be alone for less than an hour.

Except when I was in the bathroom, all five of them, or someone in the five, were next to me.

I see. I want to see my grandson's face as soon as possible, so please. "

"That's right...."

Don't worry, I'll show you as many faces as I can, so don't rush me.

"Dad, don't rush me. Leo can finally get some rest."

That said, Cliff looked at me with expectations.

After all, expectations are stronger than the emperor.

"I see...."

Yeah, yeah. I think we'll be able to do it in five years, so both of you have to hold on till then.

Well then, let's get down to business. First of all, about the final war agreement with the Kingdom and the inviolability treaty. "

"What happened? I've heard a bit from Kite, but it seems the Empire has given in quite a bit."

Sort of. Taking money from the present kingdom is not very delicious. Then it would be more profitable to do business with a better kingdom after a while, wouldn't it?

"And if you make a concession here, the kingdom won't be able to stand up to the Empire. From now on, we can talk about kingdom politics."

"I see...."

After all, you didn't just make a loose treaty with kindness.

Well, I guess this is also a choice because Elaine became king.

I don't think the former king could be trusted, and I would have made him pay right now.

"But if you talk to the kingdom, what exactly do you want them to do?

"I have just ordered the kingdom to create a school of nobility similar to the Empire. The most destabilizing factor in the kingdom must be the poor education of the nobles. Until the Empire founded the School of Aristocrats, the corruption of the aristocracy was terrible."

"I see. I think that's good. I think it would be interesting if I did an exchange study."

"Oh, of course I'm gonna do it. It is important to improve the relationship between this kingdom and the Empire from the children."

Sure. That's important.

"Because the kingdom intends to build a school about ten years from now. Maybe Leo and Shelley's kids will be the first exchange students."

Indeed, ten years from now, the oldest child may be attending school.

I hope you don't bully me.

I'm looking forward to that.

"Oh, so let me see my grandson soon."

"Yes, yes. So let's change the subject of the kingdom to the former Philippine realm and surrounding areas."

Does changing the subject mean you can't talk to me anymore?

Well, because the most important purpose this time is' Let's get along ', I don't suppose you've decided on that much detail.

"Will full-scale redevelopment take place when Leo and the others return from their trip?

"Yes, that's right. We're going to be fully redeveloping in six months."

Now we're all exhausted by the war and its preparation.

We need to keep him to a minimum while we travel.

I see. Now get some rest. "

"Yes, I will."

"It's good to think about it at this stage. Is there a way to enrich that vast land?

Of course I'm thinking.

After all, I didn't intend to go to war until the Tripartite Conference.

When the tripartite meeting was over, I was going to start working on the development as soon as possible, and I had a plan.

"That's right. So far, we are trying to share the roles of each of the three major cities in agriculture, industry, and commerce."

Tell me more about each one.

"In agricultural cities, we want to be a testing ground for increasing crop productivity. We want to be a place for cutting-edge farming, such as breeding improvements, developing more fertilizers, and inventing new farming methods using magic tools and magic."

If there were magic tools to plow soil and water automatically, I think farming would be dramatically easier.

"Oh, that's amazing. If it succeeds, we won't have to worry about hunger in the Empire."

"Someday, that day may come."

"Next, Industrial. This is going to build a lot of magical tools factories. I intend to produce more magic tools and provide them at a lower price than ever before."

Magic equipment made in Muldeen's underground factory is also considerably cheaper than before, but it still remains a luxury for ordinary people.

This is no good.

"Finally, can ordinary citizens get the magic equipment that only aristocrats and some rich people can do?"

Yes. I want to make sure that magic tools are used on a daily basis.

After all, mechanization is indispensable for industrial development.

"Yes, and I plan to build a large Magic Equipment Lab. Now that Master is dead, we need to spend more money inventing new magic tools."

Genius like Master will never be born so easily in the future.

There's nothing else you can do to gather the relatively talented and take the time to study it.

I see. So, what about the last remaining commercial? No matter how hard you try, you can't beat Muldeen in commerce, can you?

"That's right. So I decided to create a powerful source of funding."

"Source of funding? What do you create?

"It's a dungeon. I create dungeons where adventurers can easily earn money."

You don't have to think about getting magic as efficiently as any other dungeon, and I'm going to bowl the dungeon to the point where it doesn't die.

I want to be a dungeon where you can get a lot of expensive materials.

"I see. Then the city looks moist enough."

"It's a city of materials."

"Yes, we are aiming for a city where materials can be obtained cheaply."

"Then the demand for adventurers will grow again."

"That's right. So I'm going to build an adventurer school near the dungeon."

"Adventurer's school? Is that how students get together? The Adventurers are the ones who think only of immediate profit? Yeah. Can you stand it for years?

"That's right. Therefore, we will divide the course into two courses that you will learn thoroughly for one year and one that you will learn only for three months. The three-month course will give you the knowledge you need as an adventurer and a simple way to use your body. The one-year course will teach you swordsmanship and magic in addition to that. After graduating from the one-year course, the adventurer should be able to acquire the knowledge and abilities of a single C Class."

Well, I don't think this is going to be popular soon.

However, seeing that the graduates are active, I think more and more adventurers will want to enter.

I mean, there are only opportunities for ordinary people to learn magic like magic school or Muldeen's school, and maybe there are plenty of people who want to learn magic and enroll.

"I see. Sure, don't worry if you're thinking that far."

"Yes, any city is the only way Leo can do it, but it looks like it's going to grow without a problem."

"But what about the little towns and villages that are left?

"Firstly, we will reset the resident tax, which is considerably lower than in large cities. And we're going to spread it to poor rural areas as soon as we can invent new farming methods. The rest is road maintenance. I would like to have the roads stretched throughout the territory at least as far as the carriage can pass. That way, people who are attracted to cheap residential taxes, even if they're a little away from the city, will be able to move."

In the meantime, we will have to develop three major cities to consolidate the ground, and the provinces will have to do it little by little.

Maybe. I don't think we can solve this right away.

I see. Then you don't have to worry. "

"That's right. Well, we'll give you our full support, so if anything happens, you can count on us right away.

"No, I'll help you even if you don't have to."

"Thank you."

This time, there is not enough money, so I will not hesitate to get a lot of money.

I intend to do a lot of big things, and without the assistance of the Empire, development will never end.

"I don't want to thank you. That's the Imperial Land already."

"Yes, I will make a shameful development for the royal domain."

"Oh, please. But you don't have to hurry. Be nice."

Roger that.

Well then, enjoy your trip.

"Yes, I'm going to enjoy it. Enjoy your souvenir."

What is the specialty of the Holy Land? We need to find out what specialties they might be happy with.
