I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 239

"Hey, Ars. Are you sure?

"What's up, part-time brother? What do you mean, okay?

"It's territory, Baltic Knight territory. Isn't everything too big? It's a lot wider than the original Barca Knight's collar. I'm asking if I can get this much land."

"Hmm, to tell the truth, I think I'm too big. But, as I said at the beginning, my part-time brother took the land himself, so it's okay. Don't hesitate to take it, part-time brother."

"I can't wait for you to shave. But I've never run a territory. Are you sure you can do this?

"Unusual weakness, part-time brother. That's right... for now, you just have to be thorough about doing the least you can. I think it would be easier not to think about making a lot of money like me."

"What am I supposed to do at the very least?

"Okay, look at this, part-time brother. The contents of the letters I sent to the knights. It says I'll forgive you if you surrender here and go under Barca. The terms are written in it."

A part-time brother who has always worked to move the army.

But suddenly I felt very worried about being entrusted with a large territory.

Well, I guess so.

There will be anxiety in what no one has ever done.

That's why I started explaining to my part-time brother.

I started talking about the points I needed to hold on to running the territory based on what was written in the letter.

Actually, it's not that complicated to have a part-time brother.

Basically, let the people plow the fields and pay the harvest as tax.

In order to keep this going, it is essential to deal with various problems.

However, when the original knight surrendered to Barca, he was given permission to take over the knight's territory.

In this case, the knight will have the residents of his knighthood pay the wheat as a tax, and then pay it to his part-time brother's Balt's house.

Then I'll pay back the taxes my part-time brother collected to the Barca house where I live.

This was the way the territory operated.

But he says to the Knights who surrendered, not only that, but also that there are some conditions.

For example, the abolition of toll taxes, which are also being implemented in parts of Fontana territory.

Typically, they control what enters or leaves their territory at the customs office, and collect toll taxes on what is needed.

However, it has the disadvantage that even if it goes a little further, taxes will be imposed and the price of the product will be higher.

In the end, the Baltic Knight Regiment is trying to improve the flow of people by improving the road network, but it is difficult in such a state.

That's why I already told you to abolish that toll.

In this way, there are some conditions for the original knight, but it is also necessary to keep them.

Perhaps, for a while at first, we will ignore our orders and try to do the same.

But you have to teach them hard.

And the Baltic Knight needed his strength to make him obey.

That is why I did not participate and ordered my part-time brother to cut off the Ulk territory.

"But is that okay? You make a lot of stuff, don't you? Shouldn't I do the same? I don't know if I can do it."

"If you can do it, you should do it, but I think it's as good as you can. Anyway, it's important to expand farmland and increase yields at first. Speaking of which, if we use the magic of Barca to improve the farmland, it should be enough to run the territory well."

Agricultural land improvement? Then leave it to me, Ars. I've been sent to Fontana before. It's a familiar job. "

"That's right, part-time brother. Take care of the people who worked so hard on the contingent job. A smart guy is precious. It's imperative to run the territory."

I see. Then maybe Kyle should come over. "

"No. That's not enough, part-time brother. Kyle needs me, too. I can't help it. I'm sending Kyle's lead in Vulcania later. Use it well."

"Damn, I was hoping you'd flush it well, but it didn't work. With Kyle, it would have been a hundred manpower. Well, if there's a civilian, we can handle it. But, Ars. You can't just improve farmland as much as you want. I really want to make something that's worth money."

"... then I want my part-time brother to do his best to raise goats. There are a lot of goats in the Old Ulk Mountains. Not enough to feed the dragon. I think we should keep the goats and make some thread. It's a lot colder around here, and the dough doesn't matter how much."

"I see. Speaking of which, there were goats. But is that okay, Ars? If the Barts make a lot of dough, you might lose your profits."

"Well, when that happens, I'll fight with quality, not numbers. I'll make the finest fabric through the sorting of the liliner and sell it as a luxury product."

"Well, anyway, you can do farmland improvement and hair removal from the goats, Ars. If that works and you make money, I'll try a lot more."

"Oh, that's the spirit, part-time brother. Good luck."

"... hmm? Hold on, Ars. What is this? Are you putting these conditions on?

"What is it, suddenly? I thought we were done here.... uh, this. Yeah, that's right. I gave this condition to the knight who surrendered. That said, it also applies to the territory that my part-time brother attacked and cut without surrendering."

"Are you going to do this to the whole Baltic Knight realm? Are you serious, Ars?

"Of course, part-time brother. Yeah, of course, I won't allow my part-time brother to oppose it. This is an absolute condition for depositing territory."

One of the conditions for the operation of the territory that my part-time brother realized after he thought he had come to a standstill with me.

Looking at the contents, it seems that my part-time brother was also surprised.

However, if you want to miss this, I can't let you run the territory.

The content was a specification of the obligations imposed on residents of the Balkans.

Content that is mandatory only for a few years for boys of a certain age.

It was a compulsory participation in the Vulcan army.

Thus, Barca cut off about a third of the territory of the Old Urk and dragged the young boy who lived there into the army.

As a result, the Vulcan army began to take a new step as a military leader.
