Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 207: Clean Poverty Is Power

I'll keep explaining to Michelino Sabbath.

"Yes, it is my belief that the mark of this Church is the Church's promise to support pioneering projects. Because I agree with that promise, I give a certain percentage to the management department of the mark from the sales of the pioneer's shoe business."

"Hmm. I understand that logic. Promise... Indeed."

"And I do not believe that products or undertakings that are contrary to their promises should be allowed to bear the mark of the Church. For example, noble jewellery, brilliant ceramics, knights' shiny sheet metal armor and successful military horses that are not directly related to pioneering should not be allowed to mark no matter how much they are paid. This is the restriction. Unrestricted promises are not promises. It's the same thing that rules without penalties are powerless as the law."

"Rules without penalties are powerless as law..."

"If we start operating, there will be numerous instances where we are not sure which should be the case, just like the application of the law. For example, even if the harvesting axe used in pioneering areas is permitted to be marked, will the axe used by adventurers be marked? Various examples are envisaged, such as whether the mark will be admitted when the aristocrats who invest in the pioneering project have said they want to mark the carriage. Instead, we accumulate examples of decisions that allow or disallow the use of markings, with certain criteria."

To my explanation, Michelino Sacrificed.

"... then it's like, aren't you a trial judge"

"That's right. I believe that the attitude required for the operation of the mark is of the same kind as that of the trial judge. And I believe that, beyond the fairness of power and operation that can bring authority to the law, we also need careful operation and a backlog of cases based on promises and restrictions."

When I finished, Michelino Sabbath sighed loudly.

"This sounds like a matter that needs a lot more preparation than I thought. Priest Nicolo will gladly send me away."

I point out to Michelino Sabbath a future prospect that will be even more depressing.

"That's right. I think you need to be ready. Once the mechanism begins, a variety of interference and political mechanics will work. Because it's a mechanism that could generate that much revenue. But that is why we must first establish the principles of kickness and operation. Otherwise, people sell ineffective talismans because the church's finances are inclined, and they don't necessarily ruin the authority and mechanisms of the church."

Michelino Sabbath doesn't seem to agree with my point.

"I didn't know there was going to be such an uncomfortable person"

"No, it could be."

But I assure you, I'm kicking ass. I won't let you imitate like a pardon was sold in the original world. Holes in those mechanisms will be blocked by now.

"People and organizations are vulnerable to temptation. So we must lay down the rules firmly at the outset and guarantee fairness in our operations. And the results must always be made public and organisational transparency must be maintained."

"Kenji is a lot more about organizational transparency."

"That's right. For adventurers and merchants, earning is equivalent to life. It is incumbent upon the management department of the mark to inform them. That attitude gives rise to the next forsake. Clean poverty is power, isn't it?

Michelino laughed bitterly when I heard a passage from the Book of God.

"Oh, boy, that's not for you"

Thus, Michelino and I reached an agreement and an understanding, but the other members who participated in the meeting were open and pocan.
