---Dias in Ilke Village
Though I decided to go on a trip, I didn't think I'd be able to do it right away, but there's like a mountain of things to do before that... the day after we had a full banquet, we ran around the entire village of Ilke without a vacation.
The top priority should be cleaning and washing around you.
Revert the yurt from the winter specifications… Replace the floor cloth or outer cloth, wash and dry the replacement, and in some cases rebuild the yurt itself.
That's how you drive the dust, dirt, and trash that accumulates inside the yurt out... creating a clean place to live.
Life on the move... because I'm not nomadic, I need to do this at milestones... but I need to do all the yurts in the village at the expense of time and effort.
Laundry, such as winter clothing, is also an important task.
I washed my clothes as much as I could during the winter, but in the cold there was only so much I could do.
It is necessary to clean up all the dirt left because of this... I will wash it carefully and thoroughly so that I can use my winter clothes again next year.
First, wash in the river to remove the dirt, and wash the clothes and steps in the water drawn from the bucket.
I used the herbal-containing soap made by Mayan grandma and Arnah sparingly and washed it many times... and when I finished washing it clean, I exposed it to the blue sky and the refreshing wind... If it was dry, I would fold it carefully and put insect repellent herbs in the costume shelf and box.
We also need to rebuild the barn, and we need to make sure that the soil in the fields and the reservoir pond... are ready to receive the new livestock, to receive the bloodless that will come, and to prepare for business with the bloodless that will come with us.
Naturally, we need to take care of the housework we usually do, the livestock, the mayers... I really don't have time to go on vacation anymore.
If I had finished these tasks perfectly, I could finally go on a trip… I was so happy to go on a trip, I was worried that if Senai and Eihan couldn't wait, they would say that they wanted to go soon… No such thing at all, but Senai and Eihan took the initiative to help me get there as soon as possible… Inspired by such senai and Eihan, even the children of the dog family could help me with laundry and so on.
"I'm seven years old!
"Hey, it's me!
Senai and Ayhan, who work with the children while saying that, gave everyone in the village... an unspeakable vibrancy... so that we could go on a trip as soon as possible.
----A few days later, Eldan was in his room at Lord Mahatti's Mansion.
"Lord Diaz is coming to visit me!?
One day, after receiving such a report from one of his subordinates who went to check the afternoon and the state of the gate that was to be built on the border with the neighboring territory, Eldan stood up with great momentum and raised his voice enough to echo throughout the mansion.
"Hah...
Family trips are said to be the main purpose... and there is also an intention to show gratitude and friendship to Eldan-sama for all the help she has done so far.
It seems that things such as taking care of the fields are gradually coming to an end... I don't have a clear schedule, but in the spring, it is. "
Further, as his men reported, Eldan shook up his hands as if he were grabbing something in the air.
"And then... I'm going to start feeding you now!
Raise the power of this city... No, I welcome Lord Diaz with all my might in the territory...!
In response to that voice... Zhuuuha, who exhaled a loud sigh as his wives and subordinates feared that it might be too much for the boulders... raised his voice with his back on the big pillar.
"Stop it, stop it, because Diaz is not happy to be doing that.
If this is about family travel... you should see the city as it normally is.
Welcome is enough in this mansion... to treat it with all your thoughts.
Still, if you've done something, Diaz is not interested in gold and silver treasures, luxurious cooking, stunning dances and songs… think about something in a way that will please Diaz's family, not Diaz. "
Following the words of his former comrade, who had spent many years with Diaz, Eldan nodded... looking to Camarots, where Diaz's adopted children, Senai and Aihan, seem to be close... and entrusted Camarots with the overall command of the Diaz welcome.
----A few more days later, in the King's City, in the Royal Palace, in Prince Richard's Dance Hall,
"Let's start the reform."
Richard, who had a strong light in his eyes, pronounced himself in front of the faithful old knight and the faces of the Alliance, including Narius.
"The nobles have a duty to fight as the sword of the king in place of various privileges.
They are not aristocrats who, for some reason, do not move in response to earlier wars or monster raids.
It summons up territory, punishes it, and sharpens its power.
The lands we summoned will be under direct control, and with the income raised there, we will strengthen the immediate army and increase the bureaucracy… We will repeat the cycle of holding up more territory and enhancing the direct army and bureaucracy without any room for the aristocrats to gain leverage.
If you don't want your territory to be shredded like that, then you'll have to show more work than your own army... and only a few nobles will be able to do it.
Very partially, otherwise I'll cut it off.There's too many of them, so we'll have to reduce them. "
As Richard continued to do so... Narius, who had no idea of the plan, burst into cold sweat and burst into his throat.
Are you sure it's okay to do that?Aren't the nobles silent?
I want to say that, but I'm nervous and the words don't come out... in the meantime, only old knights who knew this plan from before listen to Richard's words with a cool face.
"I know what you're trying to say, but don't worry.
... I intend to proceed in such a way that the nobles think that such a light punishment will forgive the injustice of the previous war as a light punishment.
Still, some aristocrats may notice our thoughts, but if you are smart enough to notice, you can forgive them.
... they don't do enough work, they don't have the ability to notice, they're the targets.
If you can step on those nobles and be a direct military or a bureaucrat, will the civilians be motivated?
We also plan to set up educational institutions for this purpose, and we plan to pick up the faces of the civilians who were active in the previous war… as well as the experienced and proven former volunteers.
The Temple is already on your side, and your Alliance is on your side... and if you can take on these capable civilians, even if the aristocrats have rebelled, they will do anything. "
That's how Richard grips his slightly raised fist.
It finally begins, finally begins, this is the beginning of your own royal road, so you can play that feeling in your heart... and shine your eyes like a child with a new toy in front of you.
In front of such Richard, Narius and the others who could not say anything were stunned... An old knight with a cool face leaked a slurry voice without changing his expression.
"What are the West going to do?"
In response to the words of the Western... noble and vast lord Diaz and Eldan, Richard... thought for a moment before returning the words.
"Leave it alone.
There may be too much distance, but if you attack Diaz, who was too active in the previous war, it could hurt our cause.
I mean, we're doing a good job with Eldan, too... I'll leave you alone for now.
... if we swallow each territory and have enough direct troops, Diaz, but Eldan, is no longer with us.
Then forgive me if I obey, otherwise I'll crush you, that's all. "
The old knight nodded with satisfaction at the words.
In response to the attitude of the elderly knight, the most loyal knight, who shut his mouth that there was no more to talk about, Richard made his confidence and readiness even stronger... and as soon as he began to act, he took out a bunch of paper bearing the names of the targeted nobles from his chest.
