Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Distribute beans to farmers.

This is all I do when I put it into letters, and when I try to put it into practice, various challenges stand up.

The biggest problem was the absence of an accurate roster of residents.

The birth register of the inhabitants of the territory, who were born and who died, is managed by the Church.

But there are some pretty suspicious parts about population movements such as who and who got married, divorced, adopted children, who came back from another village, etc.

"I think this is also due to the fact that the previous lord took too much tax"

is Paperino's analysis.

It is also possible that he had deliberately loosened control in order to cover up the presence of the earning peasants.

Besides all his harassment of his successor, the previous lord also imposed taxes with difficulty on marriage, divorce, and the birth of children.

Thanks to this, the peasants have stopped giving information on such matters, so this is a good surface skin.

"But how do you gather information? Do you visit every house around? The peasants will hide the reality, and it will take a lot of work to do it alone."

"No way."

I don't want to take such a mandatory approach as Paperino's.

You're trying to support the lives of the peasants in the first place, but it's not right for you to hate them.

"Distribute the beans in the mansion first. Ask the peas to come and get the beans. If I were to get beans, they would come from me."

The life of the peasants in the territory doesn't look easy.

Showing an attitude of giving from here will help you walk away somewhat.

"And check with the peasants who come to pick up the beans about the family composition and the location of the farmland, against the rosters and information we have now"

"I see. It's more efficient than visiting and walking."

"I guess I should teach you a little bit about how to grow beans on the spot."

I handed out the beans, but they were wiped out, then it doesn't make sense.

But Sarah has made an opinion as to whether it is unnecessary.

"Um, I think I know about growing beans. 'Cause you're a farmer, right?

Sarah says every farmer grows beans. Beans should have been grown in this village, and it is proof that farmers planted them in the garden.

"Probably just stopped planting because taxes and stuff are terrible"

Indeed, it is an opinion that nods.

The truth is, I need to see to the farmer who plans to come and work for me.

"Captain Xiao, I think I should stop handing out beans for free."

"What makes you think that, Kirik?

"Well, because after eating the beans handed out, we'll be lining up again. I just got it once, so you're gonna expect me to get it again. Besides, I don't think it's a big deal that I just got."

A moral hazard?

As for this one, it's profitable because just sitting there saves farmers time in distributing information, and you can expect an increase in wheat revenues.

However, I can also understand Kirik's argument that it is a different logic from whether the peasants perceive it.

"You can't pay cash. Taxes from the harvest? What percentage would be appropriate?"

"Is it 10% in the name of preparing for famine? Maybe a little lower."

Without advance, 10% from the harvest?

It is certainly a reasonable degree of tax if it is in the name of keeping 10% of the harvest ready for famine.

You'll need a warehouse to store it, and I'd say it's part of the expense.

Sourcing beans, organizing rosters and informing them of distribution dates.

Hear the family composition from the peasants and match it with the roster.

Loan the workforce from the earning peasants to those who want it.

"I wonder if even four of us can do this."

"Right. If it's true, I'd like to tell them to come in order in the district."

"Because those governing mechanisms are completely paralyzed."

Rural development, which starts with a negative level of trust from the inhabitants, is quite difficult.
