Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Arner studied magic under Mayan grandma.

Ellie and the others are going back and forth from the village of Ilk to the neighboring territory and transporting supplies...

Hubert and Sahey investigate and map the wilderness.

Help with chores and knitting with Senai and Aihan.

Narbants repaired my armor and made various tools.

And I studied all kinds of things about the nobility and all kinds of things about the kingdom under Uncle Ben.

As we got busy like that, everyone else and ourselves couldn't lose, and we started to move around vigorously... even though we were still in the middle of a harsh cold winter, the village of Irk was vibrantly wrapped up.

The buzzing voice, the sound of the loom and the voice of Maia echo, and the footsteps walking around constantly... every time I hear that sound, something in my heart starts to tingle... what a wonder I want to go out.

"... hey, let's focus.

If you stay focused and listen to me, this will all be over soon.

... I kind of feel like I've said this before... but really, even as you grow up, it's not that bad. "

Sitting down in the middle of the decorative and modest uncle's yurt, he placed a small table in front of his eyes and placed paper, an ink pot and a pen on the table....

My uncle, standing firmly on the other side of the table, looked at me with a great sense of intimidation... losing to that sense of intimidation and glance, I murmured "... yes", correct my residence and turn back to my uncle.

"All right, here we go.

In speaking of nobility, we must not forget the way in which the Founding King and Dear came up with the king - the royalty and the nobility - the nobility.

The ideal of a royal system was to concentrate on one point without decentralization… The king, the centre of the country, should control all of the country, but there were not enough manpower, there were not enough educational institutions to produce good bureaucrats, there were not enough means of communication to allow the king's instructions to pass through every corner of the country in an instant… There was nothing for the king and the honest bureaucrats alone to manage the country correctly.

That's why the Founding King had no choice but to entrust a region beyond his reach to loyalists who often drew on his will and acted as he wished. "

Your uncle writes those words indifferently on paper on the table, memorizes them while copying them... and thinks deeply about their meaning.

I came up with a bizarre plan to make the country better, one that was active in the war, one that was active in internal affairs.

We tried to stabilize the kingdom by making the loyalists who played such an active role aristocratic, entrusting the region with the task of developing the region.

A position of loyalty for the sake of stability… a title is established, a child of loyalty succeeds to that title for the sake of stability, stability alone is not enough, a class of nobility is established so that nobles compete with each other to drill, and the highest rank of nobility, the Duke, is established to prevent kings and aristocrats from running wild...

Until the time when such improvements were made over and over and the founding kings died, the system that was refined was supposed to be the cornerstone...

It was supposed to be... but it didn't.

Now, after years of distraction from the time of the founding king,

The territory of the kingdom that should have dominated the entire continent has been reduced to less than half, and the nobles who succeeded to the throne without anything from their parents have become far from loyalists... The competition for training has also transformed into a power struggle to satisfy their own desires.

I can't say that nobility alone is bad in the subtleties of preventing them in other ways... but in reality, the existence of nobility is corrupt... and most of the nobility has become a nasty disease that erodes the kingdom.

Of course not... there are ideal nobles like my father and mother told me about, but it seems that those who enrich their power and desire without choosing a means are more broad-minded, or have power and money... what is the status quo that evil nobles have driven away good nobles?

"I don't know why you're lucky you didn't meet these people, but the reality is different.

There's a lot of bad nobles going on in there... and I'm sure you'll meet them more than you've ever been.

When the snow melts and spring comes, and the roads that connect the neighborhood and the neighborhood become easier to get around, the possibilities will really increase. "

After a general explanation, say such a thing and separate the words... Uncle Ben stares at us.

Turning my gaze back to that eye, I turned my eyebrows back.

"... I still don't want to be a bad nobleman.

I also want to keep my father's will and that of my mother, and I don't want to be unable to face Arnah, Senai or Ayhan. "

"If that's what you want, it's fine.

I'm not talking about being an evil nobleman because you're being driven away. If you don't want to be driven away, you're talking about being prepared for evil noblemen.

... fortunately, you're the Duke, you don't have to pay taxes for three years, and you've hunted the dragon many times and got enough money.

Distance from King's Landing will also work in a good direction, as will the shrines and new doctrines that the King is advancing.

... I mean, the residents of this place, other than you, are moving with that intention without even saying it.

Arner, Ellie, Klaus, Hubert... and the Mayans.

Even Emma has been teaching a lot of things to the dog tribes who are good at calculations and writing... no matter how you feel, things have started and are moving forward.

I guess we'll just have to... prepare ourselves and face it. "

"... that's right.

I intend to. "

"Then don't make me say it again. Do something about that tone.

You're not a child anymore, behave like an adult... act like a duke. "

"... ah, yeah, that's right.

Let's get this straight... I'll forget about my childhood, and I'll change it from now on. "

When I nodded like that, my uncle nodded satisfactorily... and grabbed a piece of cloth placed behind the yurt by his bedside.

"... okay, next thing you know.

Whether we confront these wicked nobles or let the land flourish, Maia, the chief of the land, must cherish it.

Even if it hadn't been for the use of God, who brought me a medicinal herb called the Sungee Bunny, she would have done this to Maa.

... banners on this collar, Maybadal family crest, carriage, etc.

I'll put this up when I go to the deal or deliver a letter to my neighbor. "

That's why my uncle... spreads out the cloth that Arnah made and shows me the embroidery that's drawn there.

It enlarged the embroidery Alner had made before... his unique nose line, his crumpled eyes, his fluffy corners... Maa's lateral face.

The red base was edged with a round frame made of gold thread, with Maa's lateral face placed in the center... what a flashy and eye-catching... what a lovely picture.

"The main purpose is to promote the Maia cloth... but at the same time, it will also promote your Maia Badar family.

By advertising in this way, I will let the whole kingdom know what you are doing here and what kind of lord you are... and use it to propagate the doctrine and shrine that we made in pursuit.

Well... as I said before, it's only after you've built up enough power and built the Temple.

... you can make a doctrine for the fold, come up with a doctrine that disadvantages the Shinto and evil aristocrats, and a doctrine that favors the good aristocrats... Prepare well, hit as many hands as you can, and use God's glory to the full.

If you don't despise that teaching, Dear, you will forgive me... and then this place will prosper even more than it is now. "

Continuing to say such a thing, I have too many things to say to my smiling uncle, and on the contrary, I can't say anything.

Surprised or stunned.

I wonder what it would be like for a priest to use a god to defeat him...

Still, being an uncle... convinced that you seem to think a lot about the village of Ilk,

"Oh, I see."

And so he nodded forcefully.
