Helping with Adventurer Party Management

The rationale for returning property to the village, and hence whether the villagers starve, rests on this tongue.

We must do the acrobat of talking about the obvious as much as possible and buying time, and then continuing the interest of Priest Nicolo.

"How about this? Old people and children naturally need to be treated. But let the adults contribute to the reconstruction of the village by turning their work around as a priority. If you do, it will be an investment at the same time as an imposition."

"Hmm. It's not bad to encourage self-help and effort in what you can stand"

The first is the distinction between aid and investment. Give charity to the weak and provide labor to adults.

My common sense in the world that Baramaki's aid only creates dependency seems to have come true for Priest Nicolo's glasses.

We'll talk about the next steps we've taken in the time we've bought.

"Besides, this is also some kind of opportunity. In the name of village reconstruction, it will normally be possible for wealthy villagers to take various measures against it. Surveying villages, conducting checkpoints, organizing plots... as many jobs as need manpower. It is also possible to develop villages if those measures can be implemented while giving them jobs."

"... it's a pretty greedy measure"

In this case, it may be said that the president was changed for bribery, similar to the company, and the surroundings were eliminated simultaneously. The village chain of command has temporarily ceased to exist. That's where the church gets in and scraps all the old ones while there are no opponents to rebuild.

There is no need for a greedy measure by Priest Nicolo.

"Besides, there may be a need to rebuild an aging water wheel that is in the village"

"Waterwheel, huh"

"Yes, the construction of a water wheel will require a lot of cost and high technology, but it can be used for a variety of applications including powder making, water discharging and blacksmithing. If we can build a docking yard, we may be able to call for flour production from villages along the river as a business."

"Few villages can indeed invest that much along the river. If it can be transported by ship, the cost of transporting it will be cheaper. From other villages, it might be profitable to pay for milking."

"Yes, I am convinced that the early construction of the water wheel will benefit the Church and the Territory for a long time to come. Today, the thriving pioneering fever across the kingdom returns as an increase in the supply of cereals within a few years. That would boost the popular voice that they want to eat wheat in bread, not in wheat porridge. The mill should need a lot more than it does now. By investing ahead, the territorial villages can be interested in the flour milling business ahead of the neighborhood. And invest that profit in waterwheels again. By repeating this, we should be able to achieve the scale and efficiency of businesses that cannot be caught up in neighboring villages."

"Hmm..."

"For waterwheels, you may want to adopt the same standard parts first. Easier maintenance. The use of copper and other metals on the bearings also increases efficiency..."

"Wait."

Priest Nicolo raised his right arm and took control of me trying to keep explaining.

Priest Nicolo put his index finger between his deep longitudinal frowns and frowned.

Would you have said something strange?

"... Priest Nicolo?

"We can't talk about current measures anywhere yet, can we?

"Because I'm not a deputy yet. I was just investigating."

When Priest Nicolo's gaze moved next to mine, Claudio replied.

"What Lord Kenji says is true. I've been holding back on my side for a long time, but this is the first time I've heard anything of this kind."

When Claudio assured me about what I said, for a little while, Priest Nicolo seemed to be thinking.

He seems to sum up his thoughts whispering something in his mouth.
