160 Episode 166: Political Change

With the New Year, I'm 21 years old.

Anks and Fiona have turned three years old.

I have successfully turned three years old.

I'm relieved.

Beyond the age of three, the mortality rate of babies drops sharply.

I can't be careful yet, but it's safe.

Perhaps it was good to pay attention to hygiene.

Well, there is Yulia, the highest magician in Japan.

Now, as it is a new year, let me introduce the progress of various policies.

First, the construction of the capital.

This will be completed in five months.

Now we are in the middle of palace and temple construction.

When this is completed, the city can be called for the time being.

Nevertheless, the residence of the nobles must also be built.

It will take two more years for other commercial and industrial houses to be built and to be a level that is not ashamed of the capital.

However, it also depends on how fast the nobles and businessmen build their homes.

In some cases it may be earlier or later.

Next, road construction.

This is being laid smoothly.

Already, the construction of important roads to the old and new capitals, major cities and new capitals, and national borders has been completed.

The laying was not so difficult due to the flat terrain of King Rossais.

Right now, narrow roads are running all over the country.

This is not for military use, but for information transmission and economic development.

Roads are significant only for the road network.

… But the infrastructure must be constantly maintained.

It seems necessary to lay down while consulting with your wallet.

Next is domestic land development.

The target area is the plain near the new capital.

The new capital is at the junction of the three rivers.

The area around it was like a swamp or marsh, making it difficult to turn it into a farmland.

However, being a swamp or marsh means that the other way around, it is easier to get agricultural water.

When a river is embanked and drained, it is transformed into a fertile land.

Agricultural land conversion is indispensable for securing the food consumed by the new capital and for sanitation and flood control.

Well, dikes and drainage have been cut in half to build the city.

It's not that difficult.

It is up to Gram to cultivate the forest of Romania, but it seems to be proceeding fairly well.

Probably because lumber and fur are sold at reasonably good prices, they have also succeeded in turning profitable.

One of the most successful projects is the development of the Romanian forest.

On the other hand, a bit difficult is the discovery of drugs and spies left to Ron.

Well, this is all about work with people, so there is no help for it.

You will have to wait patiently until the system is set up.

The monopoly of drugs that support finance has been reasonably successful.

Meanwhile, sales of perfumes and balms planned with Yulia are in preparation.

Sometimes Julia is busy, and sometimes it is difficult to grow flowers.

And you have to teach slaves how to make perfume.

Well, if you succeed, you will definitely make a profit, so I will do my best.

Well, this is the story of domestic politics.

From here, let's talk about foreign affairs.

"Your Majesty seems to have had a political change in Lezad."

When January was about to pass ...

A report from Iar found it.

It seems that Lezard was closing the gates and gates to prevent political changes from leaking outside ...

It was discovered in the diplomatic network that Ial had set up.

"Are you a pro-Rosaicist or an anti-Rosaician?"

"It's anti-Rosaic. They seem to have fueled some citizens and occupied Congress. It seems that pro-Rosaic lawmakers and their families have been imprisoned."

Hmmm ... this is awkward.

Because I wanted a political change in Lezard.

He was planning to join forces with exiled pro-Rosaic lawmakers to advance his army to Lezad.

But if all the pro-Rosais members and their families are captured, it's a different story.

This does not allow cooperation with pro-Rosais.

If you can't cooperate, you can't get the cause of the invasion.

If you conquer Lezad, you will be one of the largest powers on the Adernia Peninsula.

You will be alerted.

In order to reduce vigilance as much as possible, it is essential that pro-Rosaicians call for help.

What's wrong ...

"How about sending a spy inside somehow? If I could get jailbreak ..."

"But the Lezzad guys are not stupid, can they make jailbreak so easy?"

However, it cannot be left as it is.

Trade with Lezard has brought great wealth to our country.

Most people buy drugs, too.

If left untouched, trade will stagnate and lead to a decline in Japan's national power.

To let Lezard reach out first?

But what can I do ...

No way, they shouldn't be thinking about getting things right with Japan.

It's difficult ...

"Isn't it possible to cooperate with Alexios Barca?"

"That man was a mercenary hired by Lezard, as long as Lezard's parliament was hijacked ..."

It can not be helped.

I don't want to turn that guy into an enemy ...

"Let's think for a moment. Go down now."

I ejected Iar.

Well, what to do ...

It was that night.

"Your Majesty has a story."

"Alice? It's unusual."

Alice bowed deeply.

Alice's hair glows golden with candle flame.

"I heard that political change happened in Lezad."

"Oh, I'm busy doing that now."

Lezad's political turmoil may spread throughout the country.

There was a need to increase surveillance of allied and autonomous cities.

"Is it possible to get Lezard officials in exile, will this situation be resolved?"

"I can't do it right now. It's January now. I need to be in spring ..."

It is very dangerous to take military action in winter.

Because of the cold winter, the soldiers' physical strength is greatly reduced.

War casualties are more ill due to climate and plague than to casualties.

Military operations in winter should be avoided if possible.

Well, it's not without tactics to take action in the winter and surprise.

There is no need to take any risk because our country is superior in military power to Lezard.

"But it's an advantage, right?"

"Well, if they put them at the forefront, they could replace the invasion of King Rhosais's kingdom with Lezard by replacing it with Lezard's infighting."

I know if you look at it.

The important thing is the building.

"... What if I break in and guide jailbreak?"

"... can you do that?"

"It's possible. Similar things have been repeated many times."

Alice looks straight at my eyes.

It's a pleasure to let Alice decide for himself, and hopefully he will volunteer for dangerous tasks such as assassination.

However……

Is it really good?

It's dangerous.

"It's okay. Your Majesty. This is not dangerous. Above all ..."

Alice put her hand on her chest.

"The Majesty has broken my chain. There is an irreparable blessing to him ... I want to help him a little. I want to give back."

"... you're the one who broke the chain"

"But it was impossible for me alone. Thanks to His Majesty."

Such Alice's eyes were straight, good color.

He seems to think so from the bottom of his heart.

......

"Is it really possible? I don't want to lose you in this place"

"Okay. Your Majesty"

Alice nodded deeply.

That would be fine.

"I see. It's a royal decree. Invade Lezad and jail a few pro-Rosaic members."

"I received it. Your Majesty."

Alice was kneeling.

Thus, a pro-Rosaisian jailbreak operation began.
