Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 375: Transparency and Reproducibility

Paperino keeps asking.

"What would be the benefit of getting there? If Master Kenji is too busy and wants to manage his deputies from a remote location, it seems too laborious to prepare. Besides, this new approach will take a lot of effort considering local resistance and the education of officials like us."

Claudio also continued.

"I, too, believe that the way we are discussing it now is a groundbreaking way. And we also know that there is an idea of Priest Nicolo who wants to spread a new way of managing the territory throughout the kingdom through the Church by taking detailed records. But, you know, it's hard to spread the word just because you're right."

"Right. Good point."

I'll make you snort at both allegations.

An overwhelmingly laborious method of governance compared to previous methods.

Of course, I intend to minimize the hassle of control by narrowing down documents and control items, but a new way of thinking is something that only puts a strain on the acceptance side.

They're asking me what the benefits of justifying that burden are.

So this one also cites the benefits in the end.

"Finely documenting and discovering challenges early is the form of governance that the new way aims at. There are two advantages to this approach. Transparency and reproducibility."

As far as I'm concerned, I meant to be as simple as possible, but there seemed to be words I wasn't used to hearing.

"Reproducibility, I know. So you can do it in other territories, right? Transparency, what is that?

Claudio asked.

In this world, the concept of accountability on the part of the governing party, is thin.

So if there is nothing less convincing, the ruling side will not complain, and even if they complain, they will be suppressed by force.

Naturally, even the educated clergy of governance do not understand the meaning of the concept of transparency.

Simply put, it means eliminating unexplainable expenses and recording everything.

"I see."

The priests seemed convinced, but Rodolphe, of aristocratic origin, contested.

"I think being ambitious is a very good thing. But isn't it realistic to aim for no corruption or bribery?"

"Eliminating corruption and bribery is secondary. The real purpose is to bring greater benefit"

"What is the greater good?

Do not answer Rodolph's question directly and return the question here.

"Do you know that investment for territorial development is flourishing among churches and nobles?

"I ask my parents and they know that there are such moves"

Rodolph answers.

"Investments are also flourishing in the church. Anything, a groundbreaking report has come from a civilian in the Count's territory, and the upper echelons are getting more aggressive..."

Claudio also reports on church movements.

"The Sword Tooth Corps is also increasingly asking to sweep the monsters in its hands"

And it was Luc who answered.

Look around everyone's face, put one breath down, and then say.

"It was me who wrote that."

"What?

It was a bit of a sight for the new officials to open their mouths and look at this one.
