I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 291

"That's good. If the funds are increased so far, there will be no problem with the operation of the military. On the contrary, it could be used to invest in other things."

"Probably the merchants who gave the money are giving it with that in mind."

"With that in mind, what do you mean, old man?

"Think about the boy's achievements so far. Barca used to make a lot of money making things. We should be thinking about doing that across Fontana territory this time. And I want to get involved with products made in that business faster than others. That's why you put the money in your Vulcan bank voucher."

"I see. By the way, merchants who have been playing rating checks have been making money all along."

"Ah, the moment the boy became the current proxy for the Fontana family, the low-rated merchant had a blue face. From now on, even the city of Fontana and the territory of Fontana will be eligible for ratings."

Maybe that's good too. But it's an investment... As soon as I can lend the money I collected to the Territorial Knights, I'd like to turn it over to education. Would you like to build a school in a rather large town or village directly under the Fontana family?

"Wait a minute. Invest in education? More schools? Are you going to spend money on something that's not worth it again?

"Investing in education is a sure way to spend money unless it takes time, old man. I mean, if you don't do it quickly, it'll take time for it to work, so I think it's best to have money now."

"Having said that, the kid is giving Paine a big reward. Besides, there are more and more of them besides Paine. There's a limit to how much money you said you had. You're not getting paid."

"... no, Paine and the others are joining us with knighthood. I mean, you named it after me. But I really want a lot of people who can do more clerical work. In that sense, it makes sense to build a school. If you give Kyle's lead last name, it'll be quick."

"Sure, if I was given the name of Lead, the amount of work I could do would increase halfway... But will you extend the school to the entire Fontana family? The same school in Vulcania?

"That's right... No, maybe it would be a bit simpler to increase it. Only children under the age of conscription who do not need a vocational training center, and only read, write, and calculate minimum letters to teach?"

"So, what's the point of building a school? If we don't get to the point where we can work, we'll end up falling."

"I don't think so. Let's call the next school an elementary school, distinct from the one in Vulcania. The purpose of elementary school is to find people who are motivated and who are good in the land. Teach a kid who comes to elementary school with a free lunch, and if there's a kid named, transfer him to a Vulcanian school. So, in Vulcania, we teach them something a little more advanced and give them a lead last name if they decide they can use it there. And finally, we're looking for talent."

"I see. Would it be possible to reduce the number of teaching sides by narrowing the number of subjects taught to a minimum? Wouldn't that cost more than I thought?"

"That's what it is. Give Reed a last name to remind him of his job and eventually place him in Fontana territory. That way, Fontana territory will grow even more."

My biggest problem in ruling Fontana is the lack of human resources.

One of the things I did to compensate for that shortage of people was to make the reward for the pane expensive.

A pane that works for me, and as a result is recognized as a knight and earns high rewards.

Looking at that, a lot of them came to me as officers.

A variety of things came along that could be called jade mixing, but they all had something in common.

Glittering eyes to get you up.

It will certainly get you into work for playing the reward.

I hope that some of them will produce results that I did not expect.

But most of them still want attack magic.

When we asked him if he wanted to take his last name and work as a brainstorm, he didn't like the name of a magical leader with the ability to attack.

There seemed to be an idea in my head that I really wanted to leave a name as a man.

But obviously, I do understand how good Kyle's magic is.

It was so convenient that even magic such as Quick Read , Automatic Calculation , Preliminary Photography was impossible.

But Kyle created the magic of transcending even that.

[Remarks] is the magic that people with the lead surname can talk in two directions.

Originally, Kyle could send thoughts and words to anyone, not just to Reed's last name.

However, [Remarks] are limited to those with the lead surname.

Kyle said it was to deliver a voice to a distant opponent.

It seems that they are able to communicate each other's voices even at super distances because they use the connection of the magic paths by name.

Naming is a relationship where you can assign magic to others and receive a part of the magic.

In other words, it is always magically connected, and you can use that connection to send thoughts even if you can't see the other person directly.

Kyle explained it to me once.

In other words, the one with the lead surname can talk to a distant opponent using the spell [Remarks], but on the contrary, if the opponent does not have the lead surname, they cannot deliver a voice.

Therefore, it is impossible to speak directly to me from a distant opponent.

So I wanted to add a few more Reed surnames and have them deployed everywhere.

Building an elementary school is also necessary for that purpose.

Moreover, it is not only men who are recognized for their abilities at school.

In my estimation, perhaps women study harder.

Farmers mostly succeed their eldest son, and their father decides who to marry.

This world is not gentle to live independently.

But there are exceptions in Balkans.

Hector's brother's wife, Ella's sister, was given Reed's last name and entrusted with a section of Vulcania.

And when she saw it, a lot of women continued to study for Ella's sister and became the lead surname.

If that were known, there would be many women who would invest in studying in elementary schools built everywhere.

If that is achieved, the shortage of human resources can also be adequately compensated.

Thus, I built elementary schools throughout Fontana territory based on new financial resources.
