Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 381 End of Discussion

Explain the calculations and intentions in the face of scepticism about the eradication of hidden fields.

"For once, there are grounds. Even poor peasants are desperate to eat, so they should be choosing as safe and as plain a land as possible, even outside the fence, to build hidden fields."

"That's... right"

And Sarah agrees.

"So to speak, we have a preliminary investigation by a farmer who knows the land well. The richness and safety of the area can be measured by looking at the harvest of that hidden field. In other words, it can be used as a reference for planning where resources should be concentrated and pioneered in the territory."

"But I don't think the farmers will tell us easily. Because it's a bad thing. If I could just cover it up, I'd keep it a secret."

"There, of course, farmers who lose their hidden fields are to be honoured as a cost of investigation. Moreover, certain rights are recognised in agricultural land after it has been expanded. Develop incentives for farmers to actively send information about hidden fields as a system."

So, there's an objection from Rodolph, a nobleman.

"But the peasants may begin to pioneer the bounty and the goal of rights in a disorderly fashion. A peasant is something that's surprisingly strong."

"Right. So that kind of reward needs to be valid only for the first time. It will be necessary to hire adventurers to explore the surroundings of the village and declare after suppressing the actual hidden fields. Besides, if you're in a hurry, you'll see."

Use adventurers in investigative activities. This is what I've been thinking since my last visit to the countryside.

In contrast, Sarah agrees.

"Right. If you look at the soil and the trees around you, you'll soon find out if it's a field you've recently cultivated. Besides, no matter how much you say you get, it's still very dangerous and scary outside the fence for people in the village. I don't think I'd normally do it if I didn't have a lot of trouble living."

"I see..."

Seeing that we have all understood the approximate story, we decide to bring the long debate to a conclusion.

"Now we can share a discussion based on a preliminary study and a policy of territorial management and development."

In response to the call, everyone nodded yes.

"Then I'll give you the next ten days. I want you to plan for your future territorial development."

"Eh! What has been the debate so far?

When I ordered planning, Theon screamed. The rest of the officials see a similar look.

But I go on with my cool face.

"It's just a policy check, isn't it? What am I thinking being a deputy and how am I going to rule the territory? In what direction will the results of this territorial development be used? What are your concerns? How do you intend to resolve that? You could have shared enough, wouldn't you?

"Yeah, I could do that, but..."

"I guess so. So, in the future, we're going to have a practical plan to manage and develop the territory, two teams, as it is now. However, discussions between teams are allowed"

I intend to add with kindness that, given the immensity of thought and work ahead, the new officials were looking to heaven.
