149 Human resource development

"University, what is it, Lord Ars?

"Um, I don't know what to say. How to speak of a supreme college that is a repository of knowledge and conducts cutting-edge research...... Well, I guess I want to make a place for smart people to put their knowledge as a record."

"That would be nice. However, basically, research is a gold-eating bug, okay?

"It doesn't matter, Gran. The future management of the territory of the Knights of Barca is going to focus on human resource development."

In talking to my old man about Kyle's magic, I thought I'd build a college.

Even so, the nuance of a place to study a lot of things may be stronger than a place where humans who become professors teach their students.

But this will cost you an inexhaustible amount of money, as Gran says.

Anyway, there is no guarantee that it will be a profit-seeking study.

But there's a reason I thought about building a college.

That had to do with the other day's interaction with Carlos.

This is an example of a quiz format question asked about which one you want, the Ice Jin Sword or the Kyouo Sword.

If the intent of that question is as Rion speculated, it is also possible that Carlos would take up territory to use us Barca as a tool on the battlefield in a corner of his head.

We have to say that we are still opaque as to what will happen in the future, whether it will be flown into hostile forces and adjacent territories, or completely absorbed into the Fontana family.

At that time, I answered appropriately on the spot in Nori, as a result of which I was lucky enough to increase my territory while maintaining the city of Vulcania.

But I don't know if that will be fully guaranteed in the future.

If you think about it, Carlos, who took over Raymond, the Fontana family housekeeper, lightly, may have been willing to take back Barca's land from the beginning.

I've made a city called Vulcania because of it, and I'm not willing to leave this place so easily.

but I don't know what's ahead.

Maybe there is a future where you will live away from this land.

I couldn't live without thinking about it just because it was also about being involved in the lives of my part-time brother, Vargas and many other things.

So, after I thought about it, I put out the idea that the development of land is of course important, but that it is the development of the human resources that live there.

With talented people, we might be able to figure it out, even if we're going to move to another land.

However, human resource development in this case does not mean craftsmen who make glass, furniture, etc., but brainworkers.

Raise people with brains who can contribute to the development of the territory.

This is what I thought was needed for the forthcoming Knights of Barca.

This costs money, of course, but that would be irresistible.

Instead, spend the money. But we have to start now.

That's how I started making college.

"But was it good, Lilina? It's valuable, isn't it, that number of books?

"Right. But what does it take to build the library that Master Ars calls it? And it's a temporary loan, so no problem."

"Thank you. That'll help, Lilina."

The first step I took as a college builder was making a library.

Again, just making boxes won't make it as a college, and no one will be interested.

Then, as much as possible, we decided to collect books first.

I succeeded in borrowing a book at the beginning that Lilina had collected and read so far.

Books in this world are precious, and hey, I don't get a chance to have them, but Lilina seems to have always liked and read books.

Most of them were books on historical relationships written in difficult sentences.

Organize that with the help of the civilians.

The civilians who were given Kyle's magic had done a brilliant job, and the work in the territory that Kyle alone supported even while I was gone was now ready to loosen up.

So, the clerks wrote a book they borrowed from Lilina while reading it in [Quick Read].

It would be a study of history for the civilians who have just chosen from the schools of Vulcania, even though they can read the text.

Kyle only chose it, and they really didn't feel the pain of sitting in front of their desk all day. They then read thick, elusive books of history every day, wrote them on botanical paper, and filled the library shelves.
