Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Some information could be collected, so the farmers' visits are cut up and moved on to rural inspections.

"Look, I'm a deputy, so put your chest on!

Encouraged by Sarah whispering from side to side.

Would you have looked so disappointed?

Even though it was his predecessor's fault, being treated as an evil deputy everywhere seemed to have plainly shredded his energy.

"What do we do? Back to the deputy's mansion?

"No, inspections continue"

If I go back, I'll be back. I have as much work to do as I want to do to maintain the paperwork and mansion, but now I need to be able to help gather the correct information in the village first.

Even if reality is unpleasant, we don't collect accurate information and we don't have accurate intelligence decisions.

It is most efficient to look around with one's own eyes than to have a credible governance mechanism in place.

"Before and after you become a deputy, the view looks different"

"Yeah, I think so, too."

This territory had come for several inspections, but in one way or another, to select the planned site for the construction of the mill, some of which was secondary to rural life.

In the first place, there was low interest in the development of agricultural land itself because the policy of territorial governance was to minimise agricultural holdings and basically increase tax revenues through business development investments in mills.

But if you try to be a deputy, it changes the way you look at it.

The master of the territory is a peasant, for the peasant the farmland is a way of life, and the farmland is like a big boat on which all the peasant families ride.

The ruler, the deputy, is expected to play the role of protecting agricultural land first.

It wouldn't go through throwing that out and saying "farmland is in the flour mill because it doesn't make any money".

If you walk to the riverside while patrolling the territory, a cool breeze opens your hair.

The water volume of the river is abundant, extensive and flows loosely.

"Nice river. I wish I had as much water in my village."

There is abundant water in this territory.

Since there is an adjustment of water rights with the territory downstream, the width of the water intake is limited and cannot be sucked up indefinitely, but the amount of water downstream is not affected for use as water train power.

There is also an aspect to the business of mills that utilize water wheel power.

"And the bridge is splendid. Isn't it so big and beautiful?

The great river of the width of the river is bridged.

It's a big, slightly more splendid bridge of stone arches than it is in this territory.

"Beautiful because generations of lords built bridges with taxes and taxed their passage as well"

The bridge tax itself is necessary to maintain infrastructure and has been introduced in other territories.

But most of the time it is a tax that is normally levied on non-territorial traffic.

Even though it was, the previous deputies also began to take taxes from the inhabitants, and the peasants were forced to cross the river by avoiding it.

"It's not dangerous! It's so wide!

"Right. They were trying to cross the river, and many were dead."

"Terrible..."

"That's terrible."

Totally ridiculous. It is ridiculous not only as a humanitarian issue, but also as a purely economic one.

A peasant is an asset to a lord. An act that damages its property is also an act of disloyalty as a lord.

Near the river are the mansions and farmland of the original village chiefs.

Rich lands with good water resources are kept under control by the powerful.

But the rich land is now abandoned without being plowed.

"For that, isn't it proper?

It is best for Sarah to question, and the wheat fields, where the owner should have disappeared, are beautifully delimited and make the blue ears windy.

Farmland is a hands-on thing, and abandoned farmland is naturally quickly rough with weeds.

But what is wrong with the condition of this farmland?

"Were you at church and people were letting me out? Why don't you stop by the village chief's house?"

If you stop by the village chief's house, the gate is closed and parchment is punched.

"What does it say?

Because the words are a little difficult, Sarah often doesn't read the contents and asks me what they are.

"Uh, this is church sticker. It says a lot, but it is forbidden to take out any property of the village chief because it is under the control of the church. If you take it out, cut your hand? punish him with sin. Contact the village church."

Cutting off your hand doesn't mean hurting you a bit.

A church that preaches mercy to the common people, but when it comes to property, it seems to be a different story.

It's not cool.
