I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle

"[Judgment]? You've made some magic, Kyle."

"Hmm, but it's not that big a deal, brother Ars. Originally, I was able to have a conversation even if I was away using Remarks ."

"Even so, you're only talking to someone you've actually met, right? It's amazing because even if it's a [referee] who I've never met, everyone will be targeted. I mean, if that happens, I'm going to lose my position on the radio station I built."

"Well, I think the radio is useful because it doesn't have magic. [Remarks] You can't use it unless you've been given magic."

"... that's it, but what are you going to do now? Now many people living in the newly acquired Lead Territory can use Remarks magic. But there are people who can't use it, right? Besides, there will be more of them eventually, and it is delicate whether the trial system by [referee] is sustainable.

A newly built Charlotte Castle in the city of Richard.

The building is still under construction, but in the meantime, the Reed family's facade is complete enough to do their job.

I was in that room talking to Kyle.

The season had come to an end.

We will soon need to greet the King, Garord, in the city of Fontana at the New Year's celebration.

As a result, the castle was unexpectedly in a hurry to do the work to be completed during the year.

However, unlike the northern kingdom of Fontana, this southern part of the country was much warmer in winter.

Of course, it's not cold.

But the snow doesn't seem to be so deep even if it builds up.

In Fontana, I used sledges for winter trips, but I didn't need them that far.

Well, it's not uncommon for people to die in the cold.

Therefore, we are also building ice sucking stone statues in this city to reduce the cold.

As the seasons shifted so much, there was a continuous influx of people into Lead Territory from around winter.

Apparently, it's a refugee.

Called the Land of Death, the surrounding area became inactive, and many bandits emerged, robbing each other of food.

The bandits are already largely captured or crushed by the leader.

Still, the devastation of land and society over the past year seems to have been enormous.

Not all bandits had bases around here.

And he went to the kingdom of the nobles, scattered throughout the land, and wandered round and round.

That is why the poor have emerged so widely that they cannot survive this winter.

Such people continue to gather, and the leader accepts it.

You cannot refuse to accept.

Because it is also a promise to the Blue Virgin Miriam.

Help the poor.

That was the condition for the House of Leaders to rule the land.

Of course, the lead family has no leeway to accommodate such refugees.

So Barca took over.

We provide a lot of food and clothing, and we look forward to accepting migrants in Balkan territory rather than in lead territory.

Those who have some skill, such as the Vulcan Line, will otherwise become adventurers in the mines or in the west.

Barca is filled with dream jobs, so the refugees will surely appreciate this salvation.

But it's not like we're all getting out of the lead.

Rather, the majority will wish to remain here.

And Kyle was going to listen to it as much as possible.

Because there's plenty of land.

The city of Rishal still has plenty of room to live in, and the Lead Territory has some numbers to repel other nearby forces.

But then there was also a problem.

That was about the trial system that Kyle was talking about earlier.

Kyle was grasping the hearts of the people who lived here through a participatory trial in order for House Reed to rule the land.

But if there are more and more refugees coming in from around here, it will collapse.

The more people who have no connection and cannot use magic in [Judgment], the more united the residents will not be.

What is Kyle going to do about this problem?

Well, I'm thinking of giving the new residents magic too.

"What about the new guys? Not as a knight, a student with a certain degree of academic ability, not as a leader, but as a resident?

"Yeah, can't I, Mr. Ars?

"... I don't know if it won't work, but it'll cost a lot of money. Kyle knows it's going to be a lot of money just to ask the church to name it to create a new knight, right?

"That's right. That's why I'm asking residents to pay for it."

"You want the residents to give you money and magic? The refugees don't even have food.

"Well, I don't know what to say. I'm wondering if I can finally cover it with taxes. For example, persons born in the Reed Territory who have reached the age of 15 will be issued a passport. So, whoever's issued that passport will be endowed with the magic of House Reed, but it feels like you have to keep collecting the corresponding tax to keep it going, right?

"... I see. Will the new nominee's expenses be covered by taxes as soon as we get on track? In that case, the problem is first. You'll need to name a lot of refugees who don't have money."

"Don't you have to name them all right now? First give a name to someone who can pay. People who have money can participate in the trial right away, but people who don't should save money later to get a passport."

Does that mean you need money to live in the Reindeer and get your rights?

Anyone who can pay can pay quickly for magic and justice.

But you don't have to pay the one you can't pay right now.

Instead, I cannot speak to the verdict.

However, I don't know how many years from now, but will all residents be forced to receive a citizen's certificate using taxes and pay the corresponding tax?

How many people can pay for it?

I also think it is okay to try it depending on the proportion.

Alternatively, if we attach conditions such as that a passport is necessary to obtain new land in this Lead Territory, can we have the money paid out without reluctance?

I guess I'll have to discuss the agenda a little bit more and fill in the details.

In front of me, Kyle, and House Reed, I decided to come up with an opinion about giving magic to the residents.
