I came to the city in the spring of my third year.
I was eleven when I came to the city, and I am thirteen now.
Recently, I have clearly felt my own growth. Mostly physical, but also tall.
It seems to have entered a period of growth. The improvement in diet over the past two years may also be relevant.
Protein is great.
I go through the paperwork in the working room given to the Consulate.
What we are currently doing is analyzing the regions with the greatest fluctuations since last year, out of the production volume reports from various parts of the territory.
In other words, I went with Arthur last winter.
I was disbanded by the Soviet Military Association and appointed as a civilian officer in the Border Territories, but there is not enough time to find out and put together the past few decades at all points in the territory.
So I decided to put my hands on something that stands out for now.
We will increase this year by year, and eventually summarize the annual production volume by location.
Once you've made it, you'll only have to add it every year, so if you struggle with the first one, you'll figure it out later. I can't help it, so I bear the hardship.
I expect something in return, boss.
There were three new additions this time. You may think it's small, but the last four points of follow-up were also included in the work, so we couldn't increase it much.
For two of the last four sites, which had been inactive for 20 years, yields were still low this year.
In the meantime, instructions should have been given in the name of the lord's deputy to increase the production of legumes, but the status quo is unclear because there is no monitoring of how it is carried out.
Of course, the cause has not yet been clarified.
As it stands, the two crop sites may become abandoned villages. Considering the resources spent on exploration, the eyebrows hang.
On the other hand, we received reports that the harvest volume had fallen due to flooding and animal damage, and that it had recovered much since last year.
Yeah, that's a good trend.
Pre-disaster figures are not yet available, but enough data to hope for reconstruction. Without a thoughtful tax relief, this would not have happened.
I am satisfied with my work last year, and I read the two points of the recovery as I play my nose song.
♪
What kind of song was this? I can't remember where I heard it.
It's not the song I heard in the village.
In the city, a fluffy bard would have sang. I wonder if it was something I remember from my previous life.
Well, either way. Anyway, I feel good now.
One of the maids comes to me to do the work in such a mood. It was Miss Lenge who quietly came in after the knocking of the tone she played.
Unlike in the winter maid's delegation thanking him, he now wears a light cape that looks like spring.
Originally, I was more of an adult child. Except for the chest, it's a bit vulgar.
"Excuse me. Ash, your report has been submitted to Itsuki. I was very happy to help you in the future."
"Above all else. You did your best."
"Ha, ha!
When I laughed at my colleague, the colleague broke his face with joy. This report is a joint work of the two.
I had Miss Renge help me last winter, and when I asked her to help me with Mr. Arthur's absence, she nodded momentarily.
The boss who consulted with HR also agreed that it would be easier to do it because of the age.
Miss Renge has been putting a lot of effort into it since the winter hellish season, so it would be a bit more fulfilling.
Well, Mr. Renge. As soon as possible, I would like to prepare a written opinion requesting tax relief for your next job in the past year. "
"Okay, I got it! But, uh, tax breaks?
"Yes, it's reconstruction support before construction. Look, didn't you also exempt the villages of Torade and Adele from paying substantial taxes as reconstruction support last year? I would like to suggest that we do that again this year."
The village of Adele suffered frequent beast damage when the village of Torade was flooded.
As I explained, Miss Renge brightened her face and then raised her eyebrows anxiously.
"I wonder if that's okay, for the second consecutive year... As long as I'm thankful that you gave me excessive consideration even if you made it tax free last year."
Upon confirmation, it seems that it is unusual to deal with tax exemption.
I heard that I rubbed it a little at last year's budget meeting that decided on that area.
Mr. Itsuki, who pushed it through, is a really good man. He may be such a pleasant boy.
"Still, I think we should do this. It seems to have recovered this year, and it's not a complete exemption, but a little more support would be good in the long run."
I want you to understand this area as a colleague who encourages us to work together, so I will explain my thoughts in detail.
"Last year's investigation revealed that the two affected sites were unlucky last year, but they have maintained a fairly good production volume over the past two decades. Therefore, there is also a large amount of tax payable. Thanks to this, Sacramento was able to spend his budget on development."
With this premise in mind, the reason why we should continue to support reconstruction a little more is because we have the advantage of showing appreciation for the contribution of decentralization as a governor.
Along with the award of a medal for being active against an individual. Acknowledge that the entire village has achieved excellent results and reward them accordingly. In this case, it is better to think of it as support in times of hardship rather than reward.
Most of the time, the people under your supervision will be happy if their work is appreciated and grateful if you can help them in times of pain. Both lead to a willingness to work until you tie your teeth.
I can't thank you enough for motivating me and getting my production back as soon as possible. There is a gap between motivated and unskilled talent, unless there is a good teacher. No, because it motivates your subordinates, you may be called a good leader.
Besides, if we advertise this well to all parts of the territory, we can make them know that "our lords are well aware of the achievements and have an attitude to reward them."
Natural disasters can happen in any village or city. If you work hard and produce results, you may be able to get the support of the lord when you need it, and you may not get lost in the street.
This is important to the people who take refuge in the ruler.
How dare they pay taxes instead of guaranteeing their daily lives? Regardless of how far one people thinks, the management of each village will think about it.
And this time, the Sakura Border Guardian (acting on behalf of the lord) moved to sense the plight of the people to be sheltered and to give them a decent (and varying opinions as to whether it is sufficient) security of life. If you think, "My lord is worth his hard work," you can inspire the whole territory.
"That's why I think we should continue our support. Well, to put it bluntly, by showing the Lord's metrics, the people are made to feel like they belong to the territory. Can you describe that?"
Humans don't care about anything if they don't belong to them.
Small change to large land and country. A sense of belonging is a consciousness that thinks the land belongs to you.
"Well, I see. It's invisible, but it does have a big effect."
"Yeah, if I can carry it well, but..."
"Is there a problem?
"Of course, there are concerns."
There are no trouble-free settlements, so if you suck, why do you complain about all the special treatment there? This is counterproductive.
That's why you'll need to devise a way to circulate information.
First, simply providing business reconstruction support does not spread the story.
"Let's talk to some bards and peddlers and tell them what information we designate for each business. It's a good idea to pay the right amount of money."
It is a government-led publicity campaign.
I am still in the draft stage, but I intend to prepare a written opinion focusing on Mr. Quid, whom I trust personally.
"Well, I don't know if it'll work or not... Whether it's the village of Torade or the village of Adele, it's a good enough benefit just to recover production, so publicity activities are such a mess."
I had good grades from the beginning, so I rewarded you kindly.
This is the first priority of reconstruction support.
"I see. That's why."
Instead of convincing her, Renge nodded relieved. It looks like a child who didn't get scolded for some kind of failure.
Did you notice my strange gaze? Miss Renge sighed her neck and apologized.
"Actually, I'm from Adele Village...."
"Was that so? Then you were worried about this one."
That's why she put all her strength into my proposal.
I was only convinced, but she looked scared.
"Oh, aren't you angry?
"Yes? Did something happen that made you angry?
"I mean, because it's my home, it's like I used my position...."
"Ah, I see. Worry about that."
I look back at this incident, impressed by the personal feelings of a highly conscious maid.
The answer came out quickly. Nothing is wrong.
"This case is a task entrusted to you with the permission of your boss and ultimately the lord's deputy, Itsuki. That's because Itsuki-sama has decided that you are qualified for this job."
If Miss Renge forced herself to take on this job, it is a problem, but it is a job entrusted to her by her superiors.
"From my colleague's eyes, there's nothing wrong with how I did my job. Your business attitude is very enthusiastic and preferably serious. If it came from your personal circumstances, I can assure you it was an extremely appropriate exposition."
I can press my thrill around here. Until now, I didn't realize that Miss Renge was involved in Adele village.
I just thought he was a kind person who worried about the plight of the disaster and encouraged him to work.
"Ah, well, um, ah, thank you... ah, Ash-san, how dare you praise me like that..."
"I did my job seriously, so I can be complimented as much as I want."
All you have to do is decorate the facts and express them beautifully, so you can even do it.
Nevertheless, I can see that serious and gentle people like Miss Renge get sick.
With regard to the two affected sites, the damage did occur, but it was not enough for the residents to abandon the village. However, the village is being chased so that it may be destroyed.
If you are to offer generous protection to your hometown, it would be better to turn that amount to two points of inactivity. I suppose that's what they think.
"Renge is a wonderful person."
"Yes!? No, no, I don't! Well, then, Mr. Ash is better off!
"No, people who sympathize with the plight of others and show kindness should be respected, even when it's hard for them."
I don't hate that kind of thing. Rather, I love it.
All mankind cannot but pray that that is the case.
"If my pockets were magical pockets where I could just slap them, I could give them to everyone....."
Unfortunately, there was no such lovely fantasy in this world.
"Nobody in the world has such pockets, but we have to feed the maximum number of people in small pockets. And the numbers pop out of reality and reason, not sympathy and kindness."
In this case, in the case of two villages where production decreased over a period of 20 years and two villages where production decreased due to a temporary natural disaster, there are more villagers in the latter than in the former.
In addition, there are few resources required for reconstruction, and we can expect more in return for what we spent.
If only one can help, I will help the latter.
"Well, it's not something you can say out loud, which means you don't have enough power. If I can help, I'm sure I'd feel better if I could help people around the world."
I live for what I want to do. I am ready to truncate if I deem it necessary.
However, if you don't have to cut it off, that's better.
Sometimes things that have been truncated will never come back. This world that sees through my reckless dream of size is nothing but a waste to cut off.
"You may feel backwards, but next time, try to make your pockets bigger so you don't have to feel the same way."
"My pocket... is that what this is about?
Yes, I can.
Because it is an agricultural improvement plan and an industrial improvement plan for this purpose.
My dream is just as big as recklessness, and my pockets are expanding as I move towards reality.
