Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 654: Complex Issues

"Hmm. I don't have any complaints about living in this country if this much rice goes out every time."

Kilik strokes his belly satisfactorily. Did you hate wheat porridge so much?

"I can't do it every day because vegetable oil is expensive. But if Kirik worked a little harder on his stone molars and made extra flour, he'd still be white bread tomorrow."

"Nice."

"I don't mind rye bread or anything."

"If I Kenji, he's a poor tongue, even if he gets great! I didn't bring the rye because it won't be packed. Instead, I bought some beans with the fish, so I'll have some beans and some soup tomorrow. Why don't we plant some beans in the garden?"

"That's good, too. Don't ask if planting beans is good for soil."

"And chickens. You can keep it early, okay? If you want to raise chickens until the mill sows, you need to increase them first, right?

"Actually, aren't eggs what you're looking for?

"That's it!

After a good meal, the atmosphere is soothing.

"Now, do we discuss the problems we discovered where we had a good meal"

Everyone nods at these words.

Probably going to be a long story this afternoon.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Gather individually for tea and chairs in the office room with the blackboard.

"For starters, I wonder what the problem was. Paperino, can you answer that?"

Paperino has only had a bureaucratic education as a priest, and I can appreciate the memory of things.

"Okay," he nodded, Paperino beginning to enumerate the problem without looking at notes or anything else.

"We'll start by giving you the issues in chronological order. First, we visited the church. There were a large number of out-of-village earning peasants who were evicted from the village chief's house. Many of them have families. We also take care of the village chief's fields without a dwelling. Without their hands, the village chief's field would be rough, but you can't say its productive.

The next visit was to the farmer, who was supposed to be rich, when analyzed using the deputies' methods. In fact, there were a large number of men, and the size of the tax collection was due to that.

My last visit was to a farmer with a woman who had lost her husband. The garden was planted with beans and secretly caught fish. The deputy said he would hire the lady.

That's it. "

It is a good report that somehow feels subtle malice in the way the report is closed, but that has suppressed subjectivity and ended up in a factual relationship.

"That's a lot," it was only a half-day inspection, but enough to make me want to have a head for the number of problems.

Sarah and Kilik give me similar thoughts.

"It's tough being a deputy. I guess we have to work this all out, don't we? I thought it was something more fun and extravagant."

"The leader of the soldier regiment (of ours) looks like something tough, too. Standing up doesn't mean it's easy."

"What are you talking about like other HR. Kirik will have to do the same soon."

"Uh-huh."

Kilik looked blatantly fed up when he glanced at him and pointed out his future diagram.

"It is nevertheless true that there is a considerable pile of difficult questions, dear deputy. Can it be solved in small numbers like us?"

As Paperino worries, there are only four of us on this occasion.

Usually it's what brings your own ministerial corps.

"I don't do everything myself. I'm counting on people."

It's not particularly difficult compared to when you set up the shoe business.

But in order to rely on people, we need to split the problem easily.

Few people can consult and cooperate on difficult issues.

If we can simply make the problem, more people will cooperate.

"If it looks difficult, let's make the problem smaller first. Think big, complex problems divided into small, simple problems"

"You've done this before! Uh, I don't know exactly what to do."

Sarah makes her face shine, and then she mumbles.

Just thinking about the approach is a big step forward.

From there on, practice and experience are the worlds of things, so we can't help it.

"In the meantime, think together? First of all, it's about the first farmers who were in church."

Write on the blackboard with white ink "Solve the problem of the earning peasants” and then give them a cut to solve it.

"As a major premise in the first place, there is the question of whether to approve their earnings as a territory"

"Are you kicking me out?" and Sarah.

"I don't know. In the first place, they're not the people, so they're the property of the original lord. I don't know where it came from, but in the case of unauthorized earnings, this one can be incriminated."

"I see. That can be. Upper ecclesiastical levels and confirmation will be required. However, I'm sure you know the problem somewhat from looking after it in church."

I can't be more optimistic than Paperino would supplement.

"I hope so. So suppose an agreement could be reached between another lord that it should be returned to the original farmland. But how do you give it back? There is a problem. In some cases, the couple will be from another village, and it is possible that children are born in this territory. Then where does that child belong? Besides, there is also the question of who will bear the cost of transportation and security to return to the original territory"

"You will be."

Paperino is familiar with the territory-related laws provided for by the nobility and ecclesiastical laws.

There seems to be no objection to the way the problem is perceived.

"If you estimate, you're probably going to ask me to buy it with money. In that case, it would be nice to have the cost here, but their debt would increase. I don't want to do it if I think about their property situation, but I have to. In addition to that, it would be necessary to pay the Church quite a bit just to rewrite the Birth Register"

"I think there's room for a reduction. Because this is the territory of Priest Nicolo."

Paperino adds, in other words, that they cannot write off their debts at their own discretion, which is the deputy.

"I'm going to get you to work in this village over there. In that case, I have to make them work. In the first instance, there are plans to require a husband in the construction of a mill, river works and road works. But those are the jobs I originally thought of for the adventurers I was planning to return to the territory, and some of them are only temporary jobs. If it is a job to pay money, the original villagers must also be employed. If we are to accept it permanently in this village, we also need to entrust agricultural land. But if you prioritize less good farmland, that would make the original peasants unhappy"

The more I think about it, the more problems pile up.

"Already, indeed! I wonder why the previous village chief did something of his own accord!

Sarah's angry voice was representing the inside of everyone on this occasion.
