Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 463: Decide What You Won't Do

"Besides, I've had a lot of requests for surveys lately. Both the church and the nobles are passionate about opening the land, and we don't have enough surveyors."

The surveyor, Bundolphi, showed with a sigh.

Most of all, it just looks like a tired pretense because of its youth and its rugged appearance.

"So I'm also a relatively young person, but something younger is literally running around the kingdom, too. Some of them are teenagers and surveyors."

"Hmm. If you're so young, won't they say something to you? Well, some people don't like to be measured, do they?

Accurate maps are confidential as military information, and accurately measuring the area of a field is fundamental to tax collection.

All are elements that strengthen the rights of the Lords in the feudal system, but at the same time reduce the discretion of the villages and threaten autonomy.

No matter how much the lord talked through it, the villagers wouldn't necessarily cooperate on the scene.

Rather, it is not surprising that, with the intention of the village chief, he harasses the shadows in a daily fashion.

Useful in doing so are qualities to prevent the surveyor himself from being licked.

For example, it can be large in stature, eloquent in tongue, or high in stature.

"Yeah, well, yeah. There's just nothing we can do about halfway through martial arts before the numbers, so we run and run. Lately, it's really easier because I've got good shoes."

Bandolfi brags about hidden shoes in priestly clothing.

"Isn't that pioneer's shoe! Where did you get it?

The shoes the Cardinals wear from time to time, which means they are traded at high prices, those shoes.

It is not a substitute that can be bought by ordinary priests.

Or is a surveyor a remarkably luxurious profession?

"Oh, you know what I mean? This was given to Priest Nicolo. After wearing these shoes, it's easier to sprinkle them. I can pull you apart just by running through a corner or a bad foot. I've had help many times."

"I see."

It's different from the use I just assumed, but if it's active in the field, that's fine.

I would say how much better for the world than being adorned with the altar of a wealthy house.

"If you don't mind, should we let the company (our) craftsmen take care of it during the meeting? Somewhat damaged."

"Is it true! Thankful for that!

Bandolfi was happy to dance up.

If you're so happy, it's worth making shoes for, even for me.

"By the way, I'd like to talk to you about this measurement range."

On the tabletop of the office is a large parchment with precautions written by the new officials on the old map at the opening of the village.

Whatever you do with your future plans, because we need guidelines for now.

Bandolphi also speaks as an expert, disappearing of the innocent young man until earlier.

"Right. In the end, the question arises as to how far the measurement will go. Should we only measure the current field? Or will it be re-measured to include plots of fields in line with future development plans? Will we also carry out a survey of the entire perimeter of the current village? Or will we also carry out a full perimeter survey, including even the planned exploration site outside the village? If it means that a waterwheel cabin will be built on the side of the river, it will also require measurements of its surroundings and inclinations. You can measure everything, if you ask me, but I can't recommend it because it takes a lot of effort and, above all, money."

"I see. You want me to decide what I don't rather than what I want you to do,"

"It's quick and helpful to understand"

In short, they're asking me to define the requirements for the job of surveying.

As a client, what do you prioritize and decide not to do?

The priority and focus of the job is for the person requesting the job to decide.

The client who can't decide that will throw a round "do it all" and complain about the results.

You're having a hard time, and I learned a little sympathy for the young surveyor in front of me.
