Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 160: Everybody Wants to Get Full Job

Hidden fields are less productive. The land cannot be vast to make it easier to find if it is too big, and it takes a long journey because it is far from the village.

Besides, you risk being attacked by monsters and wildlife, so you have to work with concern for your surroundings, and the time you can work directly instead of taking the time is short.

Sometimes the harvest is eaten by wildlife because it is not always monitorable.

In fact, among the villages, the rich peasants known as rich farmers suppress the rich fields near the centre of the village and are not involved in hidden fields. Hidden fields are those with little wealth and little terrain in the village, such as small works and innkeepers. They are poor, they have nothing to lose, they have trouble eating, so they have to make a living by illegal means such as hidden fields.

"Simply, I guess you can't regulate"

And Clemente Sacrifice says. He's the one who's been complaining about it a lot.

"But to legalize, not only the Church, but the landowners will oppose it."

I said it was Adelmo Sabbath. Certainly it cannot simply be legalized either.

Assuming that the Church has acknowledged legalization in some territories, its impact is too great. Above all, I can't even imagine how many hidden fields are in the country.

"More than I know, it won't mean maintaining the status quo. If we don't report the solution together, we might have an opinion that we should tax the hidden fields as well. That could have terrible consequences for a smallholder like that farmer."

Says Michelino Auxiliary.

"No! I can't do it at all! You can't afford it!

and Sarah rebels, but I don't know what's going on with the church organization either. I just can't throw that possibility away. When we see that sight, we have to come up with a solution responsibly.

"There is an easy solution for the hidden fields in the villages to be explored"

And when I said it, everyone's gaze focused.

"Hidden fields are not a good job that's all dangerous and fruitful. So all you have to do is allocate a good job for pioneering."

"But pioneering work is a lot of hard work, and I can't do pioneering work to those family farmers and children..."

"You just have to take care in church to assign a helpful job there. If a man with the power to do so engages in pioneering, he will lack the manpower to farm. That way, even they'll get a farming job."

In short, all you have to do is create jobs in pioneering and generate jobs that are better than hidden fields. That way we stop the dangerous hidden fields. It's a simple economic principle. Everyone better have a safe and lucrative career.

"If you find a hidden field in the process of exploring it, you just have to incorporate it into the cultivated land of the village. Let us leave it to the policy of the Church to dictate the land whether we recognize some rights or buy them with money"

"I see..." the Festivals nod, too.

"The problem is hidden fields other than those to be explored. So much so that it's off the plan of exploitation that the original land is either unproductive or a haz of land unsuitable for defense. Building a hidden field or something like that just can't be dangerous enough to suit us. But..."

"Even if it's dangerous, you can't eat it, so it's up to you."

"Right. Sarah is right. If you're not supposed to be able to eat on that land, you should move people, or you should be exempt from taxes..."

And, behold the eunuchs, they shook their heads and answered.

"Both will be difficult. People are the property of those who have land, and tax breaks lead to income cuts. Neither the Church nor the aristocracy will do it any good"

In the end, there are things that people can and cannot do. Nowhere, such as convenient all-purpose solutions.

All I can do is refine the means of exploitation, increase the rate of growth, and reduce the number of people in the situation who have to rely on dangerous incomes, such as hidden fields, whenever possible, by making as much land available for exploitation as possible. That's all.

"Can we lay low the existence of a hidden field for five years?

And I asked the festivals. They are obliged to draw up a report on this one. It is a material that should be of great force to the cause pursued by the faction of Priest Nicolo. He said, "Write a lie in the material," so the Festivals hesitated.

"... what are you going to do?

Michelino asks in surprise.

"When I get home, I need to talk to Priest Nicolo for a moment"
