"This country is completely different from other countries, isn't it?"
"Is that so?" I don't often see the situation in other countries because I often move in Japan at the moment. However, if Lord Lassen was like that, I suppose so. After all, it looks like he's been traveling around other countries. ”
“Yes, I'm sure. It is completely different from the sight I had seen before I came here. It looks as if the Great Depression never existed. People's faces are filled with smiles, food can be bought normally, and they work with sweat. You can't even see it in other countries anymore.”
Lassen moved from the capital of the Orient to the city of New Barca.
I look at the two cities and say what makes them different from other countries.
Apparently, it's quite different from other countries.
The recession caused by the [Crash of Lassen], which began at the end of summer and began in autumn, was terrible.
I couldn't buy anything that I had been able to buy normally all at once.
Overnight, the goods disappeared from the store, and I took a few things with me first.
That's what's going on now.
It's not just about food.
That's why even the usual items that I could normally buy have disappeared, and some people are trying to resell them and sell them at a very high price.
But it doesn't make much sense to do that.
After all, even if you get money there, you can't even buy food properly.
So it seems that in other countries, smiles disappeared from people's faces.
But not in this country.
Because the effects of the recession are not that bad.
Lassen was terribly surprised at the sight.
"I guess politics is working really well." In other countries, the country was in a state of panic, and I even ran to buy it up. ”
"Oh, I see. Is that what the country that is supposed to have the money is doing? As expected, the situation will deteriorate rapidly."
"Didn't the Orient country buy it up?" I think food security is a national imperative. ”
"I've been developing the land for a while." There were more roads, but we were able to secure farmland in proportion to that. So we were able to get some food. ”
"Ho ho. That's amazing." You were visionary. ”
“No, I wasn't expecting a recession. However, domestic development is a job that cannot be avoided as a person who keeps the country. I was just doing it normally.”
“That's not normal. Every country's rulers work for their own self-interest. If it's not in your own interest, you won't develop it. I heard that they started construction in order to prevent flooding of rivers in this country. Flood prevention is the fight against nature that throws a key at the end of every fight. Most of the time it costs money and ends up in vain. Not only are we working as hard as we do in this country, but we're doing great.”
"Thank you.... you're probably familiar with it." Is that a professional pattern? "
"Oh, no, I'm embarrassed. I'm not going to say anything bigger than professional patterns. I can't do it as well as you can.”
“It's not like that. I've heard of Lord Lassen's work so far. It's true that you've come all the way to this country, but there's something about it.”
"... thank you, I've been scrubbing my nerves out of work lately. I would really appreciate it if you could meet someone who recognizes your main job.”
Lassen bowed his head at my word.
When I raised it again, my face looked really happy and my mouth was raised.
I guess he was cornered.
It may be that the reason for the recession is that I haven't been able to work properly lately.
"Wasn't that Lassen, the civil builder?" Or should I call you a hole digger? "
"Hahaha, you'll feel nostalgic for that too. Call me whatever you want.”
This notorious man was brought all the way to New Barca to take advantage.
If I have to, I will hold him responsible for the shortage of coins.
However, apart from that, it seems that this guy has been well known until now.
It's a little bit like the river construction that I'm working on right now.
Lassen, a civil builder.
Also known as the Hole Digger.
This Lassen man was a sorcerer.
I used my magic powers to mess with the soil.
It might look a little like Brother Arthur.
It seems that Lassen used his magic to do some work on the river in this flood-ridden place called the Kowloon Plain.
It seems that there was something I thought about because I lived such a life.
It means that the more well maintained the river, the richer it is.
The rivers of the Kowloon Plain are frequently flooded.
If you try to maintain it, it will cost you a lot of money every year.
Moreover, even if it is completed, it must always be managed, and it is not uncommon for it to break before the forces of nature.
Therefore, the ruler of the land hates it, but it seems that the skin sensation shows that it is rich and strong enough to do it firmly.
In that regard, the Orient nation was surprised by the surprising amount of effort it had put into the development of the river.
That's right.
Well, maybe we can get some input while we're in town.
We are planning construction with Eye, but we used to do a lot of magic.
I thought it would be nice to hear the thoughts of someone with the power to use magic to interfere with the earth.
