Episode 31. It's a little domestic affairs.
Mr.Hifumi doesn't have much knowledge like that, so
I can't do much.
The royal capital delivered a short-form prince to Hifumi . When I asked the me enger if it was so easy, he said it was a wartime style and formal. Although it is a rule from the consideration that it is not nece ary to bother to return from the battlefield, it seems that Hifumi is the first time to actually make a sword in this way.
"Well, now that Pajo is heading to the castle, I don't think he wants to go with him."
I could somehow imagine my thoughts, but I didn't mean to deal with this. I don't think Othon Grande itself is an enemy, but I don't think it's an ally, so I don't care what path I choose.
Regardle of the shape, Hifumi, who officially became the lord of the Viscount territory centered on Focalor, will be the home of the former lord of Focalor. I didn't care much about where I lived, so I decided to let the newly hired maids just clean and use all the rooms as they were.
Sabnak said that a small room for the servant would be enough, but the lord convinced Sabnak that the servant would be atrophied. , I decided to use the room that Haagenti was using.
By the way, Olga and Aly a were also supposed to live in the lord's palace.
The two were given a room that their relatives originally used, and Aly a suddenly lived in a luxurious room, and the maids took care of her. I was confused about that.
Olga has been close to Hifumi since he returned to Focalor and has been in a position like a secretary, hoping that the room will be next to Hifumi. I was doing my job energetically.
Some of the expeditionary forces returned to the royal capital, but most of the 80 or more remained.
The organization was changed from the one during the war, divided into 4 groups, and changed to a simple form of security in the territory, maintenance of the security of Focalor, various training, and rest by rotation. I decided to recruit recruits from the territory.
Aly a was hired as a military coordinator and Olga was hired as a civilian coordinator, and the Hifumi system seemed to have been formed for the time being. By the way, I was worried about Aly a alone as a coordinator, so I added a woman named Mycale, a former royal capital civilian, as an a istant from a civilian slave.
The decisions so far were decided and notified during the trip to Focalor, and were executed immediately after the arrival of Focalor.
And now, in front of Hifumi, four slaves were taking a paper test while sitting at their desks. This is to see the result of completing the prepared tasks. Mycale secured the role as A istant Aly a earlier, so only the remaining four people were tested.
Everyone is desperate because it depends on their future.
"Okay, it's time. Put everyone on the brush."
The rattling sound stops and you exhale without anyone. There is a sound.
If there are only four people, one hundred and twenty-three will quickly collect the paper and score it quickly.
"Okay, that's okay. Treat everyone as my direct civilian."
The test that confirmed the answer, the desk After popping it on top, I looked around and said Hifumi.
"It was good ..."
One woman tweeted, and everyone else had a relief look.
"Then, I will explain the system of this city as it is. Because it is not a large city, I will only create a simple organization. You and Mycale 5 people Is the center of the city's administration, with Olga at the top. As you know, Mycale is seconded to the army, and in some cases acts as a bridge to the administration. Tax collection, budgeting and execution are done by Caim and Brokura. The creation and management of the family register is Palyu. The administrative guidance related to commerce and industry is Duelgal. The staff will be hired more and more, so I will allocate them appropriately and make them subordinates. "
" What is that ... what is the family register? "
The youngest woman among the slaves, Palyu, raised her hand.
"Oh, I didn't explain that."
Sabnak gave a rough tax system for this world. Was listening. About half of the harvest is collected from farmers every year for each village. Merchants collect a fixed amount each year according to the size of the product or busine . From other ordinary people, employees go around the city every year to collect poll tax.
Sabnak said that there seems to be a lot of leaks, but since there are few people who can calculate, Sabnak said that this is the limit.
"It's information compiled by investigating where and who lives. It seems that there is no concept of addre , so first of all, I will send the most personnel under you. Number all the houses and lands in the city according to what will be explained later, find out who lives there and what work they do, and give it to the Caims, which is for tax collection. It will be basic information. "
Births and deaths will also be reported, and administrative services will be provided based on that information.
Palyu looked like he didn't understand, but nodded when he heard an explanation later.
"I was instructing commerce and industry, what should I do?"
Next question Is a duergar, a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Make unions formed for each industry. Through this, each craftsman and shop are organized, and the state of the industry and instructions from the government are given. Even those who are full of jobs It would be more efficient if you send it to a place where there is not enough manpower.
" I see "
Duergar is easy Seems to be convinced.
"And a few dwarven slaves will soon arrive in Focalor. Some will be made, so the ones for sale will be marketed from the state through the union. I 'll leave that to you. "
" I understand "
Furthermore, I was thinking about tax collection methods and tax rates during the war. He explained the contents to everyone and told them that the tax system would be changed as soon as the family register information was collected.
For confirmation, a private room and an office will be given to each in the lord's hall, and a dedicated maid will also be attached. Everyone was confused by the treatment like an aristocrat, but
"It means that it's a tough job"
There were various things, such as those who were frightened and those who were motivated.
The dwarves who arrived in the city on that day were left to explain the construction of the city and the creation of tools while showing the drawings, and more about the security of the city than the police box. One hundred and twenty-three were energetically traveling around the city, instructing them to build a new police box-like building packed with a small number of people.
The residents of the city, who were initially confused by the new lord who roamed the city on his own feet, began to greet him gradually, remembering his face.
Honestly, I thought it was a ha le, but when I thought that it was a partner who would generate money and supplies for the war, I would naturally raise my hand and respond. I started to do things.
"Something, the atmosphere has become a little gentler"
Olga while making tea for Hifumi Smiled.
When I noticed, I thought that Olga was next to me except when I had a job.
"Well, no one has struck me since I became a lord, and Vichy hasn't moved. It would be frustrating if it's peaceful all the time, but it's coming soon. It will be a big battle. It will be fun if you think of it as preparation.
However, it was a fact that I got tired of peace for a few days. As I spend my time teaching unfamiliar politics, I feel the smell of battle disappear from me. I have a feeling that the feelings I had when I was on Earth, which I had been in agony for more than ten years without killing, will spring up again.
"That ... I heard from Aly a"
Olga's voice regained my thoughtful consciousne .
"What?"
"It was written that Mr. Hifumi would offer Baylevra to the Central Committee of Vichy. Thank you for sending me the letter. "
Aly a seems to have consulted with Olga often, so I think she heard it there. I didn't mean to hide it.
"No results have been obtained yet, and there is no guarantee that Vichy will work obediently. It's not something to be thanked."
" I'm glad you did that, not the result. That's why ... "
With a bright red face, Olga did something with Mojimoji. I try to convey it, but I can't put it into words.
Looking at it like this, it was a girl who was suitable for her age, but she didn't even think that it was her fault that she had been threaded for some reason recently.
"You shouldn't say anything beyond that"
"What?"
"I'm a man. I'm happy with your feelings."
Hifumi urged Olga to the sitting sofa and sat down in front of her.
"But I bought you as a slave. I wasn't satisfied with my revenge. Well, Kasha seems to have been happy with that. For revenge. I don't say it's because I'm near me, but is there something that looks good on me like imprinting? "
" Oh, that's it. No! "
Olga felt that her feelings were denied and shed tears.
"Calm down. I'm still calm in this world and I don't want someone with that kind of relationship. It's my convenience. I'm sorry."
Olga calmed down when she saw Hifumi with her head down.
"Well, Hifumi, please stop bowing to me!"
"Your thing I don't hate it, but it's not a situation I can think of anymore. Well ... when the matter with Vichy calms down, I'll take time to talk slowly, unle Olga's feelings have changed at that time. "
One hundred and twenty-three was a joke, but Olga took it seriously.
"Okay. I'm still feeling, but I'll prove that I'm the right woman to be with you, so look at me. Can you please? "
" ... I understand "
Is Olga satisfied with the response of Hifumi? I regained my smile, said that I would return to work, and left the room with a bow.
The remaining Hifumi take out the sword and check the blade. This was a daily routine, even though I knew it wouldn't spill.
(Lover, marriage? I didn't think about it over there, but since I became an aristocrat, I feel like I've read it in a book, and some young ladies rub against me. I wonder. I often hear that, whether it's Olga or anyone else, will my personality get rounded when I get married? Can I stop killing people?)
Killing I was afraid that I would be transformed rather than being killed. I was scared for the first time when I came to this world.
No way, Hifumi ridiculed that he didn't think the first fear was female relations.
There is nothing important in the current Hifumi. The country and the city can be thrown out at any time, and the sacrifice of the people can be done without any confusion depending on the situation. I thought that the number of people who could use it would decrease when I separated from Kasha, but I didn't think anything emotionally. Pajo and Sabnak will be killed without question if they become enemies, even if they are close friends.
(Is there anyone who wants to be the bride of such a guy ...)
Or, if you can get married, that is an important partner Will it be? If you have children ...
"Stop it. I'm just depre ed."
I can't help but worry about things that haven't been decided yet. I was absorbed in the continuation.
Apparently, it's not just Torun that works fast, but dwarves in general.
The dwarven slaves that Hifumi bought from Ural were energetically doing the work they were given from the first day of their arrival in Focalor.
As an exclusive production team for the territory, 10 dwarves were divided into several groups and worked under the leadership of the slave dwarf Pruflas. I bought 15 dwarves, but the rest are working on the city.
The work place is used by purchasing the trace of a spacious work place.
Pruflas rushed to see the one and two who visited.
"Oh, Lord?"
"It looks like work is going on"
Even though it's only been a day since the work started, some works were already lined up beside the workshop.
"No, I'm doing my best because I was given a fun job. I thought I'd be a slave and work until I die in the mine, but this and that Everyone is grateful to the lords for making things they have never seen before. Now, make sure you follow the instructions! "
Guide to Pruflas Then, I will check the works in order.
A few instructions created a catapult and a large cro bow-like weapon that fires a simple untitled instead of an arrow. Has been done. If you make a lot in a short period of time, it's faster to make a spear just by scraping it than to make an arrow.
Furthermore, it is a dolly that is about the size of a normal car. It was difficult to explain the mechanism, but I thought that increasing the means of transportation was e ential for revitalizing the industry, so I gave it the highest priority. It has a simple mechanism that moves the handle up and down, and a brake that can be controlled with a single stick.
"I understand the weapon, but what about this dolly called" Toroko "? Certainly, even if you put a heavy object on it, it can be easily moved by two people, but as shown in the drawing When I make it, it doesn't have a bending function. "
" Pull a special rail. To be precise, lay two rods in parallel and put them on it. If it curves, it will bend along it. "
" I see "
" Have you completed the operation test? To support some staff I'll do it, so please lay two rails that go around the city. "
After handing over the drawings of the city, Hifumi traces the line drawn on the road. I showed it.
"Are there two?"
"It would be convenient if there was a reverse rotation. If it spreads as a cheap means of transportation, it would be in the city. Distribution and movement of people will be activated. "
" This is a territorial feeling. "
I see, it's exaggerated. One hundred twenty-three laughed refreshingly at the nodding Pruflas.
"No, I'll ask you to make a part for the rail to branch out of the city. In the direction of the border"
" Not in the direction of the royal capital? "
" It's natural. This is for carrying war supplies quickly? It would be advantageous if people and supplies could be arranged quickly. "
Pruflas took a breather at the young lord who laughed cheerfully and talked about the turmoil.
(Is this the rumored hero "Knight of the Sword"?)
What's more scary to Pruflas than a hero? I felt it.
However, when I reconsidered my position, I had no choice but to show my arms here, and I changed my mind not to mi the instructions of Hifumi.
While predicting that this city will become a battlefield someday.
