Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

"If you keep this, Bauister will be taken over by Wendelin!

Three months have passed since that damn Wendelin moved his base of life into Baumeister.

At first, the habit of saying that they came only to purify the victims of the undead expeditionary expedition in the Demon Forest and to collect their relics, quickly reverted to the territory of the territory. Crap.

Moreover, ignore me who is the next head.

Negotiate only with your father and do whatever you want.

I got permission from my father to use the undeveloped land that hadn't been developed yet, and he relocated his mansion without permission.

The mansion is so luxurious that it is as vacant as our book house, and we are making the lord at that time false.

Everywhere in the world there is a fool who relocates a mansion more luxurious than a manor house.

I protested my father because it was a problem, but the reaction was not good.

"I heard it's for a limited time. Be patient for a while

However, my father's reply was unsuccessful.

He seems to have succumbed to the pressure of his excellent son, who is a magician who kills dragons.

When I was so old, I thought it was just kind of harmful.

"Isn't development in the territory proceeding smoothly? Complain here, what's the benefit?

Indeed, development within the territory is progressing.

But we are not involved at all.

It seems that Wendelin now spends half of his time exploring the Demon Forest and the rest of the land clearing.

After flattening the land with tremendous magic, and removing obstacles such as rocks sometimes as small as hills.

We will develop beautiful square rice fields, roads and irrigation canals.

In addition, it seems that the soil in the rice field has been magically transformed into something suitable for rice cultivation.

"To him! You can take over your territory by Wendelin!

It usually takes time to reclaim fields and rice fields from scratch.

First, the reclamation itself takes time.

Next, even if you plant a crop there, it takes a few decades if you do poorly from several years until the soil is suitable for it.

It is possible to get some income from the first year.

@Wendelin could only seem to be stupid about us, seriously reclaiming.

In the past three months, vast paddy fields and irrigation networks have spread on the untouched land that bordered on our territory.

In a paddy field filled with water, the rice planted the other day is growing steadily.

Immigrant volunteers who gathered to claim that Vendelin was a servant had no choice but to learn how to take care of the rice from old hired farmers and to rehabilitate roads and irrigation canals.

"Soon, that special development zone will be our territory."

"Such promise! Do you think that Wendelin will protect!

Wendellin had named the reclaimed land a Special Development Zone.

At present, the number of households should be about 100, and the population should be more than 350.

"It's bigger than the main village!

"It will be the flow of the times. The name of this village is that if the size of the territory evolves, the center of the territory will change.

My father seems content just to grow arable land and population in the territory.

However, such a territory just expanded.

It is just a place where people are out of control of the lord and are just gathering.

For the security of our territory, we must properly control.

Because of that, they are collecting taxes until they are hated.

"And they don't pay taxes!

"Are you paying? Did you see the contents of that contract properly?

When contracts are made, people are excluded, and it seems to be a good word.

According to Wendellin's contract, his earning as an adventurer and the balance of undeveloped land development are linked.

In other words, the sum of the profits gained from hunting and gathering in the Devil's Forest and the expenses spent on undeveloped land development.

Pay 20% of profits as tax from the overall balance.

It's a purposely complicated contract that keeps me from knowing the details.

No doubt he will fool the tax.

However, neither father nor Claus say anything.

I was just angry.

"Father, you're definitely deceiving!

"It's not. Klaus is confirming it. "

Klaus is certainly a good man in low money calculations.

But at the moment he can't be trusted.

According to the man, this Lord of Baumeister doesn't care even in Wendelin.

No, I guess he prefers that.

"Is it reliable?

"If so, check for yourself"

“……”

I can't do it.

I wouldn't have said that I didn't have that education and that I didn't need it for blue blood.

"Do you want to leave it to other village masters?

I can't do that.

Those guys made my tough decision to collect iron from her belongings to develop the territory.

I got stuck on Wendelin and got in the way.

"They are traitors!

In one of the father's contracts, Wendelin undertook a chore in the territory.

I had a bad feeling, but it is a real thing.

"Elise, your physical condition is good recently."

"It was good"

When our priest was hurt and unable to move, Wendelin was dispatching his fiance to act on his behalf.

She is a granddaughter of a stinking monk in the middle, and she is a holy woman.

My heart is big for the year, so I was a prostitute who seduced Vendellin.

He was using his healing magic to heal the folks and sell hard.

I thought that I would remove it because it was in the way, but the healing magic will have a great rebound from the nations, so I have no choice but to weigh it here.

It's a terrible story.

"So we will move to the special development zone"

"Can you grow rice there? Among them, I hope I can do it here ... "

Following the takeover of the church, there were also cases in which they began to redevelop the territory.

As expected, the village did not seem to have helped, but other villages have actively helped.

Land readjustment of divided and deformed fields in megaliths, forests, and hills, and new maintenance of irrigation canals.

Relocate the houses of the folks to a location close to their fields.

For about a hundred years, our territory has been focusing on cultivating fields.

However, due to labor, cultivated lands have been distorted due to obstacles and difficult terrain, and territorial people who have been given new fields in remote areas because the nearby area is impossible.

There were many problems.

In one day, after taking care of the fields in front of your house, take care of the new fields, which are about an hour's walk away.

That Venderin solved that inconvenience.

Po-chan and his farmland around his house.

Moreover, the fields were magically laid out in a square to make it easier for cows and farm equipment for farming to be put in.

"That idiot!

While barley is growing, land readjustment and the like.

When we stepped into the scene, we felt a strange sight unfolding.

"I will move the wheat from this field here with the soil."

"I'm sorry. Mr. Wendelin

"Because it's work"

He has no effect on the growing wheat.

Either the surroundings were gradually turned into fields by magic, or the wheat was floated in the air and moved to other fields.

"Arimama. This is God's work. "

"Is the wheat seedling moved to a new field next to it safe?

"It's a move by soil, so no problem. In winter wheat, wheat is planted in open fields as well as in new fields, and it's all over the place. "

"I have improved the soil to some extent, but I need to take care of it for a couple of years."

"I'm OK because I have experience. Where it takes years to cultivate from scratch, magic is useful. "

Wendelin had completed the reclaiming and land readjustment of the two villages in about a week, saying that he received this job from the village masters.

As a result, the field size of the residents of these two villages exceeds the average of the residents of the main village.

In addition, the huge stones and trees that obstructed the clearing disappeared, hills that did not know how many years it took to flatten became a flat field in an instant, farm roads were constructed for easy transportation, and watering was carried out. The irrigation canal is extended as well.

"father!

"The nation's fields increase, farming becomes easier, and tax revenues increase. Is there any complaint?

I went to complain to my father, but still nothing was done.

Why his father doesn't notice when he's plotting to divide this territory.

"Wendelin has divided the main village and the remaining two villages!

"Kurt ... you ..."…

"House……"

Continued, I was inadvertently uttering ban.

In this territory, there is a conflict between the main village and the other two villages.

However, it is a message from the lords of generations, and it should not be said clearly.

"Anyways! Wendelin is dangerous!

In addition to the redevelopment of the two villages, he had U-turned former territorial people who had previously left the territory into the special development zone.

Besides, the third and fourth sons of the territorial people had moved and started rice cultivation.

"The population of the two villages has decreased! Capital tax revenue is reduced!

It was a small thing, but it should still decrease.

Because the development zone of the new location can be calculated by subtracting the cost from the profit.

He helped Wendelin's tax evasion.

"Father is sweet! Because we make that much money, such as Wendelin, we can squeeze it for squeezing!

Never miss this opportunity.

Save money here and use it to develop your own undeveloped land.

You must not allow any further development, such as Wendelin, who is already a stranger.

"Why do we need to exploit Venderin?

"Squeezing from somewhere, what's wrong?

"Now, it is a special zone developed by Wenderin, but have you calculated how much it will cost if you do it at home?

"Whether it's free with the magic of Wendelin!

"Kurt, are you stupid?

"What is a fool!

I stare at my dad after mocking the people.

"Certainly, the cost of cultivation would be about Wenderin's meals. But there are other costs. "

The father began a difficult explanation.

"Although it is second-hand, I bring a large number of houses from the royal capital and have a wizard specializing in relocation work. He seems to be a renowned relocation magic master who is also the Baron Hoi. "

Of course, Wendelin is paying for the request.

In addition, to pay for old farmers scouted from the Braichrader Frontier Countries, and to purchase agricultural equipment and other equipment necessary to start rice cultivation.

It was also said that immigrant applicants were paid in the first year.

"Did you understand? Kurt. Now, even with a slight decrease in revenue, that special zone will become ours in a few years, and our residents will become our territory. In the first place, do not reduce sales. Are you looking at the report properly?

Again stupid people.

I am looking through the report on tax revenue.

Even after deducting the cost of the special development zone, there is also a profit from sales of our first store and a profit from selling the results of exploring the Devil's Forest in Breichburg.

In fact, over the last three months, you have paid around 600,000 cents.

But that's not enough.

Rather, Wendelin is such a rich man.

Here, the father only has to collect about half of the total assets he has as taxes under the authority of the lord.

With that alone, we can develop undeveloped land.

"Anyway! More can be squeezed out of Venderin. The father in this Baumeister territory is my father, and in this territory you can not speak with your Majesty!

"You cool your head a little"

Despite the fact that the people were so worried about the future of the Baumeister territory, his vital father was this.

No, from the father's point of view, this territory only needs to survive, and the next lord may be me or Venderin.

"I go my way!

"You may like it"

My father can no longer count on him.

On the contrary, it is my potential enemy.

You don't need to listen to your father anymore.

"Kurt, where are you going?

"Today is the day of the meeting"

In the Baumeister territory, there are occasional meetings that listen to the opinions of the people.

There are several representatives from the three villages.

Apart from that, there were also meetings where only influential people in the village could attend.

Before building, the three villages are equal.

But in my true intention, my father, grandfather, and their predecessors.

We held another meeting and never stopped listening to their opinion, which is the support base.

After all, they are a strong connoisseur of the Baumeister family.

"Many people in the village do not like Wendelin. If they could get their approval, he could pay him more tax. ''

With that in mind, I was heading to Eckhart's house, where the meeting would take place.

"The number is small."

"Everyone is busy working ..."

No matter what I say, I leave my useless father behind and I will come to a meeting that will be held at Eckhart's house.

This rally is secret to other villagers.

Because of the treatment of the three villages where equality should have been built.

If it is public that we, the members of the Baumeister family, have given only the members of the village the opportunity to give their opinions in advance.

Because it calls for the opposition of the other two villages.

However, the existence of this meeting has long been known outside.

"That's not too much."

Originally, about 20 people from the village can attend this meeting.

For Australian farmers with large farmland and for craftsmen who have monopolized the market and profits in the Baumeister territory until now.

Unfortunately, that traitor, Hermann, is also admitted to the chief of the lord's lieutenant and several servants.

However, a total of eight people came to the meeting today.

It was less than half.

"What about Dirk, a leather craftsman? What is Ingo, a clothing craftsman? What is Lucas, a woodworker?"

"that is……"

Looking at the participants, only Eckhart, a blacksmith, was present in the group of craftsmen who had strongly supported my next inauguration.

When asked why, Eckhart reluctantly starts explaining why.

"It will be closed for a while ..."

"Huh? Closed?"

"Yes……"

According to Eckhardt's explanation, they were closed by Wendelin's store after being deprived of customers.

He seems to have decided to quit the craftsman on his invitation.

Indeed, from my eyes, the craftsmen in this territory are not good for flattering.

But it's better than amateurs do, and it's not impossible to use it separately.

First, they were also my strong supporters.

Although it was a computational relationship for interests, on the other hand, it will be easy to support as long as interests are given.

This idea was exactly the same not only for me but also for my father and grandfather.

That is why I missed this important meeting.

I was just surprised because I was going to close this time.

"Do you have such a stupid story!"

"Like me, they've been in the last three months. It's almost closed and ..."

Apparently, Wendelin began to sell goods purchased from Breichburg and the Royal City, and the number of customers was completely cut off.

It is natural that the quality is good and the price is a little cheap, but I couldn't overlook this.

Wendelin's crime that hollowed out our industry is very heavy.

"In a nutshell, tax revenues are down! @Vendelin is the unfaithful man who drives this Baumeister territory into decline!"

"That's the mansion ..."

Regarding the hollowing out of industry, Vendelin has reached out to this.

"What is it?"

"Yes, actually ..."

While in trouble with almost zero customers and sales, Wendelin asked, "What if I sent my son out for training? Seems to have proposed.

"As long as we have no chance of competing in this way, it is said that craftsmen who can make products that can compete with external products should set up a new workshop in the territory."

Wendelin used the connection to send the children of the craftsmen to the royal capital and the workshops of Breichburg as apprentices.

Then, the children who have been granted independence from the training destination in the future will start a new job in the workshop maintained by the parents.

It seems that you brought such a plan.

"What do the active craftsmen do now?"

"It seems they live on rice cultivation."

Considering the age, it is difficult to say that it is meaningless if they train themselves now.

But if you are a young child, you should be able to get good results.

They say they will maintain the facilities of the closed workshops and grow rice on the reclaimed land to gain a living.

"Eckhart. You are ..."

"I……"

Don't just drive the craftsmen, but prepare an escape route and guide them there.

It was a vexing poisoning scheme that appeared to be poisoned by the central rotting nobles in the royal capital.

Only Eckhart, the blacksmith, doesn't seem to be participating, but he's rubbed face-to-face with Wendelin before.

So you probably think you are not allowed.

Because of such circumstances, he is easy to use without worrying about betrayal even here.

"So why is the participation of Australian farmers so low?"

"Yes……"

Rather than , the Australian farmers who are absent are no longer what they call Australian farmers.

The expansion and redistribution of farmland outside of the main village has progressed, and the farm has rather fallen to smaller farms.

"(I know their intentions ...")

I would like to change the saddle to Wendelin and ask him to cultivate and reclaim the main village.

Also, in many children's farms, the existence of children who cannot inherit the land was also a problem.

It was good that my father encouraged me to grow and increase to compensate for the large numbers of adult men killed during the expedition.

Because there are too many children, farmland will run out in ten years.

After Wendelin was three years old after the expedition, his father took the initiative to clear the farmland.

Land reclamation with fewer workers has had the worst reputation, but it has succeeded in expanding farmland.

Wheat harvest was increasing, and gold and supplies from the trading company were increasing.

However, there is another problem.

In the territory except the undeveloped land, there is no longer any land that can be cleared.

Even if it was left, Wendelin managed to do it with magic.

Lands full of obstacles and lands that are difficult to flatten.

In the meantime, the fields were distorted due to forced cultivation, and the farm work was troublesome.

Due to poor allocation, some folks take an hour to walk to farming new fields.

The land around each village can no longer be cleared.

Wolves, wild boars and bears appear on the plains where clearing is easy to clear, so if there is no escort, it will be difficult to maintain the fields anyway without clearing.

While leaving his hands untouched, Wendell resolved these cases in about three months.

Everything was solved by magic.

"Now, there is a crisis in this Baumeister territory ..."

It was obvious that the attendees were already wondering if they could change their minds to Wendelin, and they listened to my story without interest.

From these facts, it would be more convenient for Wendelin to take over the Baumeister territory.

"(Hellman is coming ...?)"

Herman, who had always been present before the meeting, was absent.

Even if he did come, he couldn't accept it because he is now working as Wendelin's minions.

For a long time, Hermann opposed objecting to the treatment of the three villages.

Although the reality of the Baumeister territory was merely a nasty opinion, I remember that the young generation of the village also had supporters and was very difficult.

"Ah ... Kurt-sama"

"What?"

"This time, especially from us ..."

Because of the habit of seeking the preferential treatment of the main village until now, it seems that it will be troublesome to barre even in Venderin now.

Vendelin has given priority to areas outside the village, contrary to our policy up to now.

Or rather, it's clearly aimed at shaking my support base.

And after I'm dragged down, the village should be treated equally.

Then, the people in the main village would benefit Venderin even if they were treated the same way.

"(That damn thing!)"

Sufficient time has passed, and the gathering of volunteers from the village has ended.

I've been listening to Wendelin's magic with a certain degree of preferential treatment for stable governance.

After all, it seems that he was originally a lowly slum dweller.

Because it's so crunchy, keep your head cold and walk to the forest behind the book house.

If you think about it, Vendelin's outing has begun.

I was still in the woods when I was about seven years old, and I was producing results that I could not imagine as a child.

Every day, we hunt guinea fowls and wild boars, and bring back mountain grapes, wild potatoes, wild vegetables, and firewood.

My father and bag were very delighted, but from my point of view I could only feel out of the blue.

"That shit boy! I wish I was dead at that time!"

That time was when I visited an archeological site several months ago and lost communication for about a week.

At that time, a noble messenger called Lookner came from the center.

I'm going to give you a report that's not so reminiscent, so I remember that I was glad I wasted.

Even now, my anger comes out when I recall it occasionally.

"Hmm! Don't count on such a nobleman in the middle!"

"Not really."

"Who!"

Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind, and when I looked back, there was a man who had previously brought a letter with the life of Baron Lookner.

Everything was talked about with an adventurer who was often asked by Baron Lookner, but he was a creepy man who had a bad complexion and felt insidious.

"Long time no see"

"Before, I'm sorry for disinformation."

I wonder what kind of reaction it will be, and first try to return the dislike.

"I'm sorry, but I only delivered the letter at the request of the client."

"I don't know if it's true or not."

I didn't know how close you were to Baron Lookner, but you've come to such a remote place, so you should be quite trusted.

Maybe it was an adventurer who lied to be a child's vassal.

"I'm a free adventurer. I'm a little confident in my skills and I'm a stubborn, so I'm earning this kind of job."

Because you come alone from the royal capital to such a remote place beyond the mountain range, you probably have considerable confidence in your arm and physical strength.

"So what is an errand?"

"Yes, because time is precious to each other."

Speaking of this, this gloomy adventurer presents me with an old, small wooden box.

"this is?"

"Yes, it's a useful tool for assassinating Baron Baumeister."

"..."

"I think you said you missed the time. In a nutshell, Baron Lookner sold you this and sold his favor. You assassinated Baron Baumeister in Kore and broke through the existing crisis "

Needless to say, the crisis that I have now.

The territory has been eroded by Wendelin, and the number of folks who support me is now minimal.

Everyone was broken down by the magic and financial resources of Wendelin.

Indeed, even my father has Wendelin's shoulders.

I guess it's for the development of the territory, but I know.

I guess I'm not going to leave the next head to me anymore.

The reasons are simple: my father is a Baumeister and is responsible for the prosperity of the territory.

Therefore, there is also a determination to cut off my eldest son.

I think it's just “a bowel stomach,” but it should still do less damage than me, who just cuts it off.

Even if a lizard cuts off its tail, it hurts, but that pain is quickly forgotten.

However, the tail that was cut off is unbearable.

That's why I have to get rid of Venderin by taking a rescue plan.

"Do you doubt?"

"Oh, you guys are smelly"

"But I have to cooperate here as fellows who are being pushed each other."

"Are you driven by each other?"

"Yes. Baron Lookner is a big pinch."

The brooding adventurer explains to me about Baron Lookner's crisis and what he does.

"It would be bad if the undeveloped land is led by Baron Baumeister."

It has already been rumored in the royal capital that nobles want to get rid of me as soon as possible and start developing in the wilderness.

"What is my position?"

"Don't be angry and listen. It's less of a dust than a newly-developed interest, such as the hunting of a rural area where there was no contact with the center until now."

"Don't tell me ..."

Huge amount of assets that Wendelin has on a vast wilderness.

If this is combined, the development of the undeveloped land will progress at a stretch, and above all, Wendelin has few child servants.

There, surplus relatives and children of the vassals were sent as juries.

Because development work etc. is initially ordered externally, I would like to have orders from firms and contractors that the nobles are also friendly with.

For the purchase and sale of materials necessary for development, and for the selection of people who will be migrating to work.

Trade interests should have been enormous.

"Aristocrats are desperate anyway."

From such aristocratic people, I'm like a completely dead human being.

Rather, it may be disturbing if you are alive.

"The client will also be busy securing interests."

"It's impossible"

No matter how much Baron Lookner struggles, he and his faction will not be taking part in the exploitation of the wilderness.

The leaders in this greenfield development are Marc Bleichrader and Treasurer Lookner, the elder brother of Baron Lookner.

The brooding adventurer explained that Baron Lookner, who had a bad relationship with his brother, was designed so that gold would not come in as a cent.

"Originally, he was distant from Baron Baumeister because of his conflict with his brother, Lord Lookner ..."

Rumor has it that Wendelin has died when he lost contact with him for about a week searching for archeological sites.

That's why he was hated by Wendelin himself and his close relative, Breichrader.

"Whatever you say, it's your own job."

Baron Lookner appears to be the chief auditor in the center.

I wonder if my brain is confident.

The result seems to be swept away by the magic and financial resources of Wendelin like me.

"It's not going to be possible to maintain the faction because of the interest in the development of the wilderness after dragging me down.

I myself didn't know what would happen tomorrow, but Baron Lookner was a punishment for sending a strange letter to him and tossing it.

Even in this desperate situation, I thought that drinking was going down a little.

"I understand how you feel, but there's no change in the future, even if you foolishly let each other fall down here."

"I know that."

I know it even if you don't tell me.

If you leave this as it is, I will definitely send you to the church after indecency.

Like a duke who had a duel with Venderin before, he will have to live a day of faith that is under house arrest until death.

I was sorry even if I died.

"That's right. With one hand of rebirth, I assassinate Wendellin using the things in that box. So I inherit his property and the right to open land development?"

"Yes, that's right"

"But is it OK with the contents of such a small box?"

"Because this is a magic tool excavated from ancient archeological sites."

The effect is small, but the effect is enormous.

I don't know because I'm not familiar with this kind of thing, but maybe it's better to bet on it than to sit and die.

"Try it"

If we leave this as it is, there could be an even laughable future where no one came to the meeting of Honmura next month.

If so, you could bet on a magical tool that would kill Vendelin, the culprit.

"So how much is this?"

It can't be a seasonal gift, and it is impossible for a noble to send such a thing to a noble for free.

Rather, it is suspicious if you say that it is free.

"The price is from the client asking them to give them preferential rights in the future."

"I see. Do you want permanent interests rather than temporary money?"

There is also a reason that it is easier to distribute to the nobles in the faction.

"I understand. So how do you use this magic tool?"

Then, for a while, I get an explanation from a weird adventurer about how to use the magic tools in this old box.

Certainly, this could possibly kill Wendelin.

"It looks just like an ocarina,"

"But it's a powerful magical tool. Depending on what it calls, Baron Meister Baumister will soon die."

In my head, Wendelin, who is sadly killed, appears.

If he dies, the development of the wilderness can be led by using the property.

Only the pride and plot in the middle, the nobles in front of me, bow down to ask for my interest.

It's like a beggar.

Indeed, it's a fun future.

"Because things are things, use them in places that are not very popular."

"Three days later, Wendelin goes to a great depth in the wilderness. I will use it then."

"I see. I tell the client that way."

Finally, if you say so, the brooding adventurer disappears into the forest.

And the rest of me kept staring at the old-fashioned ocarina in my hand, pushing out the laughter that came hard.
