Episode Fifty - I've decided to start developing my territory
After that, a few practical detailed questions arose. Questions about the food distribution system and questions related to the relocation of villages.
For the time being, I will take full care of the village of the Beast Man and the clothing and living of the new base, as always. This includes the people of the Tree Sea, who have moved to their new base, including Armenia.
There will be no one left in respect of the village of the Beastman in the Kingdom of Karendyl to force him to move to the new base.
This is because the current village of the Beastman, while present in the territory of the Kingdom of Calendir, is not officially recognised as a village. I may rephrase that it is illegally occupying the territory of the Kingdom of Calendil.
What is the problem with this state of affairs is that all beasts are enslaved by the state for the crime of illegal occupation, on top of being crushed in accordance with the laws of the kingdom when the kingdom of Calendyl finds out. Apart from the story if this is a pioneering village that is properly applying to the country, or if the inhabitants are not beasts, they can either agree or do anything ex post facto, but unfortunately they are beasts.
In the first place, it seems that the kingdom of Calendil does not allow the beasts to create villages alone. I don't know what that is, but I have to convince you that's really the case with the law.
The hunt for the Beast Man, which we talked about a little while ago, also involves the law around here. They say if we take the captured beast man to the bureau, the state will buy him out. That screening is very simple, and they say that's all they need if the person they took had an ID and the beast man they took wasn't registered as a slave. I'm afraid you're saying you can't listen to anything the Beast says or claims.
You can easily issue an ID if you say so. Dodge is not a level. It just seems like a bad law no matter where you look from.
Neither that nor this is due to the fact that the slave of the beast man is almost exclusively distributed and consumed among the nobles. Beastman slaves bought into the country are only sold to nobles within the kingdom of Calendyl using a dedicated route. If you say so, I certainly didn't see many beastly slaves in the slave market in the King's capital Alfen.
The unit cost of the beast man as a slave, only for nobles, is quite high, and what a secluded village of the beast man is a mountain of treasure for the adventurers of the kingdom of Calendyl.
Apparently it is a kind of status for the nobility of the kingdom of Karendyl to surround the beastly slave. The more, the better, the more obedient and courteous.
The beast man is inherently humble, lacking in sociality, instinctive and barbaric. He said it was an excellent proof of nobility to let that beast live a cultural and intelligent life. They say it's based on that kind of theory. I'm seriously worried that you're out of your mind.
There is still salvation in that it did not move in the direction of genocide, but this is the one called ethnic cleansing. If I ask you a little more, well, some of them seem to be doing 'noble deeds' that make chest feces worse. I haven't had much contact with the aristocratic society of the kingdom of Calendyl, but I might have been right.
By the way, I am now preparing to go see the site in the village general outpost.
The offer to actually see the site arrived after the discussion, so we were all going to use the transfer gates to see it. Marl and the others will do the prep, so he told me to sit down and wait, and I'm waiting for him.
I was trying to help.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tysi, he's working too hard."
And I was solidified. I can't solve it.
"Tysi, you look scared"
When I was thinking, at some point Karen was closing in right next to me. Karen basically starts to loosen my cheeks with those little hands of gunni.
"Such a crisp, serious look doesn't suit you. You should be laughing like you always do."
"You're sloppy, you."
Layer my hands on those little hands that are grinning at my cheeks. The back of the little hand had the softness characteristic of the girl, but at the same time some scars were felt. I don't know what kind of life Karen has lived so far, but I'm sure it wasn't a flat road.
I hadn't thought very deeply about this girl at this age, who has adult-faced defeats and manipulates quite advanced magic. I was wondering if Beast Man is like that because he seems somehow capable, but if you think calmly, you can't be.
If you look at Sheetan, you'll know better, but she's a normal girl. I guess there is a unique physical ability of the beast man, but that is all. There is no other beastly boy or girl with advanced combat abilities like Karen and Shelley. He was not even in Arkenia, which would be more powerful as a species than the Beast Man.
"You look scared again."
"Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"Keep it in common."
Don't push it.
Staring firmly at Karen's face directly in the front, except for Karen's hand, which is stretching out my cheek. He still has eyes that say he slept somewhere. The golden eyes behind it also stared at me.
"I was thinking about Karen and the others."
"Pfft."
"Hey don't laugh!? You don't have any laughing bumps. Now!
"I have to laugh when they say," I was thinking about Karen and the others. "
"Stop it! You're hurting my glass heart!
Oh, okay. Karen strokes my head, saying something like that. What is it, this overwhelming sense of defeat?
Looks like he's ready while he's stroking or being stroked. Soon Shelley and Thetan joined us to become a paradise in this world, but if they called it ready, they'd have to get their hips up.
"Mm-hmm. I don't know what to do."
"Such an irrational"
"Even if I'm splitting it with my head, I'm not following my emotions!
Marl was grilling the yakimochi, so he stroked it, and when he could forgive it, he ended up stroking everyone. So the gaze of the people of the Village of the Beastman waiting was raw and warm.
"Now, I'm going to build a local transfer gate, but I'm going to finish it before I do."
Having stored in storage a large number of marutai, which are building materials, I declared the gathered beasts to be so before. That's it. It's the earliest thing that scares me now that I've been exposed to warm eyes for a long time. I don't care anymore. That.
"Melkina, Deborah, Karen, Mary and Thetan, come forward, too."
Five people come in from among the beasts who are deliberately wondering what will begin. Deborah, Shelley and Thetan are mojimorous in their restlessness, while Merkina and Karen are so magnificent as to muddle. Or stop that dooya face, you worthless elf.
"Somehow I haven't caught up with all the abrupt developments, but I don't think it's worth it for a man to respond well to you guys who jumped in under those circumstances."
That's right. I took the Mithril dagger I made for Merkina out of storage and handed it to her. After that, he also handed Deborah, Karen, Shelley and Sheetan Mithril daggers for each of them.
"So you've rapidly prepared a dagger for Mithril. That's all right, isn't it? Sounds like a very good product."
Slightly pull out the dagger I gave Merkina as she nibbled and look at her fullness.
"Just raw material costs. It's my handmade."
"Again... Huh? Really?"
Merkina pulled herself out of her sheath when I nodded silently and began to look at her impressively.
"Hmm, that's an unexpected talent. You don't call yourself a brave man."
"No, I'm not calling myself that, am I? You still don't believe me?"
I looked at Deborah with a somewhat subtle look at her own Mithrill dagger...... or I was looking at the sword. I dare to make the sheath boneless and sturdy as well as the pattern. Its bonelessness is very noticeable compared to the other four objects.
"Well, this might suit me,"
"Don't rot. Pull it out."
As Deborah pulled the sword from its boneless sheath, a beautifully decorated body revealed itself. Though thick for being a sword, and sharp in the cutting-edge, the cloudless silver colour and fine decoration of the misrille illuminate the sunlight and sparkle.
"Except for the contents, right? I made it with a good image of you."
"Oh, yeah."
A bear with a bigger figure than me starts to soften up with an atmosphere somewhere lit up. Hmm, somewhat cute, but not likely to lust at all! Well, what, let's take your time over there, yeah. You can't keep me out of this.
In fact, Deborah is the maiden and cute one with the contents for her looks, and she's going to be a good cook and a good daughter-in-law plainly. The problem is that it looks like a two-legged bear. It's a perfect target for moflies.
"I'm not even a little bit freaked out because it's a misrill, but Deborah and Thetan's are especially sturdy to make. Don't hesitate to use it everyday because it basically doesn't even freak me out when I slash it on metal instead of rock. Be careful how you treat Karen and Shelley's because they amplify their magic a little too much. Don't point it at anyone but the one who kills you."
"Okay."
"Yes."
"Don't hesitate to say if you have any concerns with using it. I'm making it combine practicality, so if possible, use cancer rather than take care of it. That's all from me, you kept everyone waiting! We're leaving."
The Beasts return a prestigious reply. Um, we're out of line.
Some of them looked like they were going to throw up in some sugar, but I don't care. I don't care if you say so.
"It's huge."
"More than I expected."
Exercising the metastatic gate twice. Having safely brought the villagers into the area, I was spitting all kinds of building materials out of storage. Thorne and Yamato are looking around right on its side.
Deborah, Merkina, and Leopard Beast relics. Something quickly took a weapon to investigate the surroundings. I told you never to force yourself because the demons are pretty strong compared to the area around the Village of the Beast Man, but well, you can handle it if you're not even dead at worst.
You've been here a long time.
"There were many people who wanted to see the area."
"Well, naturally we want to see where we live from now on. But it also adds a lot of scope. There's still something out of the standard."
"I can't help it, Mr. Taishi."
What are they doing over there with Alizi and two princesses having a tea party with dried meat and dried fruit... Well, it's a soothing mood, okay?
"The quality of the soil is not bad. Or creepy good."
"This is going to make a field soon."
"I wish the clay could be taken nearby."
Young groups and herbivorous beasts, including three beast-eared girl daughters-in-law, seem to be testing the tidy areas covered by the antidemonic junction. Well, I've mixed it up pretty well in here, so it'll have almost uniform soil quality. You might be making it a little too soft, so if you're going to build a building or a road, you might need another effort.
I can use dirt magic around here. Karen or I could do my best. No, given the vitality of the beasts, I also feel like I'm not going to rely on magic to do it.
"That's it for supplies. I'm going to make a few places to wake up today."
"Be safe, don't get hurt."
"It's okay, because I'm used to it"
That's what Yamato said and laughed at Buhihin, giving instructions to the men to start setting up the tent. Is that it, Guru? Ger? Surely you're the guy in the original world who was called by a name like that. It sure feels like a nomad was using it. Looks considerably bigger and sturdier than a regular tent. This is going to make you feel comfortable at night.
I'll talk to the Antilles, then I'll dig a well.
"Yes, please"
Hilarious waves at Yamato, who bows his head to discipline, before heading to Marr's seat, which is entering graceful tea time.
"That's so sweet."
"I was listening to Aliko and Kusha about the situation in the Tree Sea!
He was listening to me.
"It's not a tea drink."
"I was making tea."
"Where do I go from here?"
Seriously, they were listening to the Antillean stance on our village construction and other species living in the tree sea.
"No, I was wondering, why aren't you the first to come into contact with a ghost tribe? Isn't it a stone to be the first to come into contact with the biggest forces at times like this?
"They don't like people too much. It's not the opposite of the concubines protecting humans."
"Since there seems to be interaction with the chieftaincy muscles of the people of the river, Kusuha advised me that I should cross over there first."
"You may meet the Red Ghost in the introduction of the concubine, but he will decide that the concubine is putting his shoulders in the human race. It's not going to be a decent discussion. But if we put the people of the river between us, we might listen."
"I see. So you're going to dictate down the people of the river first"
"That's why!
I'm a little interested, ghost tribe. If you listen to me, it's close to the passage to the realm of the people of the river, and you want to take a little peek.
Look, it's a common development, but we've been hanging out, man and ghost acknowledging each other after trying so hard, yuujoo! Or you admire it.
"So, what about the Antilles?
"I will explain that."
As an Antillean, I was just monitoring the threat to this land, and the idea seems to be that I should do whatever I want because I took that threat away.
However, our concern is that the Antilles are living in a fairly wide area of the basement adjacent to the land. As it is, there is still a high risk of overlapping living areas.
"If you're hunting around there, there's a chance that we'll make each other. I just don't think you need to worry about depleting your prey. '
Ariko says their current size is the limit of expansion as it stands. Do you think that any further expansion would upset the supply and demand balance for food and threaten to collapse the colony?
They say the Arikos are more capable of fighting than normal humans, but they're also not at a level of total superiority over their demonic opponents in the Tree Sea. Few individuals lose their lives in the hunt.
"You're maintaining the status quo for the moment. In other words, as a basic stance, I will tell you that I am not willing to be hostile to you. '
"Right. It's obvious that even if you're hostile, you'll be destroyed."
"That's a reasonable decision!
"You guys..."
Tina is grinning bitterly in silence. It's out-of-heart. We'll negotiate tenaciously for once. For once. I wouldn't even resign to the use of force if negotiations eventually broke down.
Huh? Tyranny? Well, if I don't have to hit you either, I don't want to, but the world doesn't work just because of the beauty. I don't really like snugglers, either.
"I don't want to impose unilateral subordination even over here... is that okay?
"Right. It may be possible to do so, but it's not very profitable to look at in the future. It would be ideal if we had a mutually supportive relationship. What benefit can the Antilles offer us? What can be offered from here is the asylum of Ms Taisi, citizenship in Ms Taisi's territory if you wish, and the provision of food and various supplies in circulation in the Kingdom of Misscronia and the Kingdom of Calendir? There's a lot more."
Marl answers my words slurred. Ariko, on the other hand, seems to be moving his tentacles with Pico to discuss it with his buddies. Looks like we got to an agreement within our buddies a little bit.
"What we can provide is the kind of workforce and underground resources. Civil and underground works are a treat. Clay, iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, obsidian, and other crystals and gemstones are stockpiled as underground resources that we can provide today. '
"I see. If you're willing to do that over there, you're gonna be able to make a deal."
"Right. It depends on reserves and production when it comes to exports to other territories, but I was wondering if it would be useful just to satisfy the demand in the territory."
"The question is what to do with your position on the territory."
The Antilles have already built their own territory beneath this sea of trees. Unlike the Beasts in the Village of the Beast Man, you can do it on your own without going under my protection. The same is true in this sense in the Arkenia of Kusukha.
"I'm still a little fluffy."
In advance of that, I indicated a policy of granting autonomy to the settlements inhabited by the people of the Tree Sea. At last, the people of the Autonomous Communities are free to enter and leave the Autonomous Communities, but in order for non-Autonomous Communities to enter and leave the Autonomous Communities, they will need a lord or an administrative permit.
The Autonomous Communities have the right to bind any person who does not hold an administrative permit if he or she enters the Autonomous Communities. The streets to be connected to the Tree Sea shall be set a certain distance from each Autonomous Region, and a post shall be set up at the entrance to and exit from the Tree Sea to make this widely known.
In other words, the inhabitants of the Tree Sea may seize it. In principle, there is no killing, but if you resist violently, it is also unavoidable. The first offender shall be kept under strict caution and a penalty shall be imposed after the second time.
Well, if we get off the streets, maybe we'll feed on the demons of the tree sea. I plan to install a demon-sheltered junction pillar on the street, so as long as I'm on the street, I can make sure it's safe.
"What do you think?"
"Hmm... it's a fairly considerate law for my concubines."
"I don't think there are people who like to step into our nest, but that's certainly true if something happens."
"But it also seems like a lot of problems. So is the autonomous community scoping, and if you tighten it too hard, you don't get adventurers and merchants, do you?
"Especially not that, but I think about it somewhat."
There is no need to do anything here first, as it is inconceivable that the merchants who carry out the transaction will enter the Great Tree Sea in the first place. It will only pass through the streets, and if we ban direct dealings with each autonomous community, we will not bother to go to each settlement at risk. This neighborhood would infringe upon the trading rights of each autonomous region, but it should be good to assume that there is no impact because we have not interacted with the outside world before.
Neither would dissatisfaction if the system were created so as to disclose firmly the purchase value of specialty products produced in each autonomous region and the amount sold to external merchants.
'Is it good?
"Nothing, because it's not the purpose of me to use you guys to make disappointment in the rowing. I don't even want to fatten my stomach because I have enough money left at the moment."
"Mr. Taishi's purpose in the first place is to create a place where the beasts can live in peace."
"Mm-hmm. Well, I'm just gonna let you guys in there, too."
"Is that so?"
That's what Ariko says and moves his tentacles towards Pico and me.
Anyway, the problem is the treatment of adventurers who are going to be walking all the way inside the Autonomous Community. The demons of the Tree Sea are pretty strong, so I don't think it's that easy to get through the Tree Sea and break into each autonomous community, but I can't be alarmed because sometimes they're out of standard like the A-rank old trio that was unrivalled by demons during the Great Flood.
"To do that, you should issue exploration permits along with the descriptions of each autonomous region in the Guild of Adventurers of Sekiguchi or Territorial Capital. If you ignore the explanation and put your hands on the inhabitants and property of each autonomous community, it feels like you're guilty of the corresponding crimes."
"But what if the concubines show up on the side of the Autonomous Community that they can't deal with? If the power on the control side doesn't extend, there won't be much damage."
"You'll have no problem equipping the Autonomous Communities and our territory's security forces with the weapons I made without weighing myself down."
"No, weigh yourself. The cavalry platoon will disappear with a single wave of weapons made by Mr. Tysi without weighing himself down."
"Okay, let's develop a non-lethal weapon that doesn't weigh itself"
Maybe it would feel good to have Marl make a powerful sleeping pill or tear gas and spray that. Come on, let's think about this.
"Are there no restrictions on us?
"There's no way that's true. Don't steal it, don't grab it, don't offend it, don't kill it, don't set it on fire, don't do business with an outside merchant on your own, like I said, don't plan a rebellion, you're going to get promises around it. Besides, I'm not really thinking about what I'm gonna do right now, but maybe I should pay my taxes."
"Is it a tax"
Aliko scratches and tilts her neck.
Yeah, it might be cute if it was the look of a voice street, but it's subtle because it's a big ant. Maybe it's cute, depending on the way you look at it.
"Blah, blah, blah. I'm a complete gatekeeper around here. I don't know how reasonable it is to actually have it delivered. It overlaps with what we just talked about, but as lords, will it take the form of dispatching forces, providing treatment for illnesses and injuries, providing educational support, creating jobs, preventing people from starving if something unforeseen happens?"
Everyone on the spot gave my words a look like 'I said something weird'.
Did I say something weird?
"No, the lord's job never came only on the military side, did it? Education is mandatory for human resource development, as well as health care and well-being for the inhabitants to stay healthy and productive. Agriculture and commerce should also be planned to enrich the territory, so that if jobs are created, the economy will turn around in the territory"
"What does education do?
"As far as I'm concerned, I envisage collecting children under a certain age to teach them minimum reading, writing, calculation, and social common sense. Surely the literacy rate isn't that high, is it?
"Yes, that's right. This is not the case for children of aristocracy and merchants, but I don't think the literacy rate among the general public and peasants is that high. I don't know about all the beasts, but Mr. Yamato seems pretty upbringing, doesn't he?"
That's what Marl answers as he puts his finger on his cheek. Um, Yamato does sound intelligent if you do it. But I can't seem to ever read Thorne or Deborah or anything.
I'll try to catch someone later and ask what's going on around there.
"In the concubine, I teach my children how to read and write. There are people and old people inside who play the role of teachers."
"We know the concept of letters, but we don't use them."
Kusuha and Aliko tell us each educational situation. Hmm, have you already educated at Kusukha's? I don't know how much, but in some cases you might want to hire someone to act as a teacher.
Ariko will, well. It sounds like you're doing something like consciousness-sharing, and it doesn't seem to make sense to use letters. Sounds like I'll remember you as soon as I make you remember.
"The Arikos will work hard to remember the letters and will need them in the future. And then there's health and welfare. What's normally going on around here?
"I'm a little unsure about welfare, but I think it's common for people to pay to be treated in a temple, whether it's a wizard who can use restorative magic or a treatment center with an alchemist open, when it comes to health care"
Tina, who has kept her mouth shut until now, answered my question. When my eyes meet, I smile with a grin. For some reason Marl looks remorseful next to it. No, no, you don't have to stick around.
"Thank you. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to offer medical services at an unlimited and cheap price to my residents. The demons around here are pretty strong, so I think the injured will get out pretty good. Since it's far from the land I've been used to living on, I'm wondering if there will be more illnesses. Not to mention I can't predict what kind of unknown disease there is in a tree sea where people barely step in. In the meantime, it's gonna be tough if it's expensive and you can't get medical services, right?
"That's true, but actually the question is, how do you administer health care?
"Well, we'll have to hire them at first with high pay. Ultimately, it would be best if we could have a healing magic user in front of us, but, well, that's a story ahead of us."
"Oh, so that's education? So you're going to have an apprentice treat you and turn you into two birds a stone."
Nod as Marl was convinced. Boulder, my daughter-in-law, understands fast.
"And then, in an educated school, we're going to have lunch - free lunch. And, in principle, I don't even get a lunar appreciation."
He was surprised by the boulder for the words, and Marr, who had a convincing face on his face, also opened his mouth and gave him a frightened look.
"No, think about it. It wouldn't make sense if no one came to do it to make the inhabitants wear basic upbringing. Even children are a fine workforce. The Beasts would obey me if I told them, but why would many people think that? But if it's free and you're gonna take care of your lunch, you're gonna be happy to send me to school, right? Parents will be able to concentrate on their work."
'It costs a lot to develop a toddler body. Can you bribe me?
"Nothing like fifty or a hundred of my children. If I hunt monsters for an hour every day, just make weapons, and I can afford to fish."
Actually, that's the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to cover it with tax revenues, but that's enough until we're on track. The cost of food per child would range from two to five pieces of copper coin per meal. 500 copper coins and only about 5 silver coins, even if there were a hundred of them.
The whole troll makes about 30 gold coins. 30 gold coins is 300 silver coins, so it is calculated that 100 children can be fed for sixty days. You can afford it. In fact, we will also need to pay teachers salaries, stationery, etc., but what a story.
"Next time, we'll change the story. Welfare means that every inhabitant can live a minimum life. We can't work properly because of injuries, illnesses, some kind of disorder, and we'll have trouble eating tomorrow, or starve to death, so let's get rid of those inhabitants whenever possible."
"I see, that seems likely to improve security. If you leave these people alone, one of these days you'll have a ghetto and a hotbed for all sorts of crimes. Besides, in the unlikely event that the body of the deceased is left unattended, it can also cause the outbreak of the plague. Or it could be undead."
I nod like Marl was impressed and take notes on things like little notebooks. Don't be helpful, because it might help you when we discuss it later if you take note of what we just discussed.
"Hmm, that doesn't make sense. But does the Lord often find such a place when he says he's a gatekeeper?
"Well, you've had a lot of education where I lived. Maybe they're mimicking where I lived."
"You were somewhere with a culture that went a long way. It's interesting. '
Aliko moves the pico and tentacles. When you guys show up over there, you say, "Ali!" or "Sa, Thunder!" or something like that, so stop it. Oh, no. Are these guys capable of producing antacid? I don't know what it's available for, but it's going to be alchemy material or something.
"I think it's a big deal if you can use your knowledge effectively for imitation or anything. Sometimes I'm so humbled."
"I agree. I think it's important to know how to use it and how it can be used, just like weapons and magic. It's not a question of origin."
Kusuha and Tina follow me. Uhm, I'm inspired. The question is whether it can be used or not, let's not think deeply about pakuri or anything like that at this time. Yeah.
"Well, we've been out of line a lot, but let's wrap it up! Let me tell you something. The Arkenians and the Antilles can follow this policy, right?
"The concubines are now. Don't obey."
'A comprehensive account of the content of previous discussions has led to a decision in the direction of obeying'
"Yes, then that's the thing. There's a lot to do with budgeting, setting taxes, developing laws, and more, but good luck!
Put it together beautifully. Marl declares so.
This is how our territorial operations for me, by us, began.
I have to dig a well first.
