Hermes' Home Affairs Issues

Feng became Lord Hermes because he wanted to help Luna, who was heavy.Because I couldn't abandon her with my old companion's child.

However, just because Luna's child was born did not mean that everything was over.The question is how will Alice live from now on, even as Alice's planned employment activities continue.After all, Feng couldn't get off Sir Hermes until he had the vision.

The morning after dawn, Alice came to work in the office as she was told.Anyway, to show the new boss where he was motivated, he said he had come early in the morning when no one had yet climbed into the office, because there was already a phoenix there.

That said, it didn't mean she had already come before she came, but it felt like she had fallen asleep there while working yesterday.But it must have been late for Luna's visit last night.Does that mean he came back here after that?Alice looked into his face, afraid.

Like hiding in a tower of tall paperwork, Feng's face, which was round on the sofa, was surprisingly white and looked like a dead man.In fact, Alice suspected that he was dead until she came near him and heard him breathe.

Even so, is it always like this?In the office, it looked like it was all sorts of messy, and only a bunch of documents were piled up on a few books. Still, there was still a feeling of life, and I saw the owner of this room hardly going home and doing all the work.Speaking of which, while I was looking after Luna, I always saw Feng in this government building, but I never saw him enter the house right next door.

I don't suppose she lives here... when Alice was peeking into his face while thinking about it.I suddenly stopped breathing when I heard it, and Feng's eyes opened.

"... good morning"

"Oh, good morning!!

Feng greeted Alice with a strangely calm expression when she said that her heart was about to pop out.And as soon as I woke her up, I took her out of my pocket, confused.

"... it's still early in the morning.How did you get here so fast?

He asked if he would check the time on his pocket watch.She was surprised to see such a small watch for the first time.

"I'm sorry I woke you up.It's my first job, so I definitely want to come first. "

I see.

Feng snapped the lid of the pocket watch and wrapped it around Zenmai and then remembered it.I got what she wanted to say.You wanted to show your future boss where you were motivated.He showed a certain understanding,

"I know how you feel.But you don't have to come so fast. "

"I'm sorry.Does the brave man often stay here?

"No, that's not true... I ate a little too much yesterday.When I was full and envious, I fell asleep. "

Alice smiled bitterly at the thought that she was too busy with her work, or for a better reason than she thought.

He stared at her with a serious peek at her face and looked at something strange.The plastic eyeballs looked like reptiles, and Alice was probably upset.

"... I didn't mean to eat that much.For some reason I can't eat anymore... no, I don't care. "

He convinced himself of such a condition.

"If you were here so early, perhaps you came out while your daughter was still asleep?

"Yes, yes. Last night, both my daughter and I were awake by the baby many times, so I was sure she would still be asleep."

"Well, you haven't even met the nanny I asked you to.

"Eh!? Nanny?

Absolutely unexpected words came out, and Alice shouted out her wild voice.Feng was as calm as ever with her bewildered.

"Yesterday, after I broke up with you, I went to the Adventurers Guild and asked for it.During the day, while you were working, I thought it would be hard for your daughter to be alone. "

"Oh no... there's no reason for you to do that.I discussed it yesterday, and that's what the young lady was going to do.... "

"I thought you said that.What do you mean, if you've never had a baby before, it's the first time you've taken care of it?You don't know how hard it is. "

"Ha, yes...."

"In that case, you might want to ask someone with experience to help you.Otherwise, I can't help but wonder how the baby is while you're here. "

Feng joked and said so, but Alice was afraid to accept it at face value.

"I'm sorry, I can't think so much... but I'll return this gratitude in another way.Would you let me work here at night, if I could?... if I can rebuild my nanny's salary from there. "

Feng shook his head in a hurry.

"No, it's what I want to do.It's not that you feel responsible.You may have forgotten, but that baby is a mystery to my friend.So I want you to be honest with me. "

"... I'm sorry."

"It's not like I'm gonna apologize..."

Feng shrugged his shoulders and said that there was no more talk.

"That's the first order.First, go back to the dormitory and greet the incoming nanny.I'm the one who's going to take care of you, so don't be rude. "

"Yes, I'll be back as soon as I've finished my greeting.I'm really sorry about everything. "

Alice bowed many times as she turned bright red and left the room.I came early in the morning with a temper, but instead I made Feng pay attention.Without reflection... when she turned her heel and walked through the door of the room, she remembered what she saw in the room just before the door closed.

In the room that I saw when I left, Feng, who was already sitting in front of the constable, started working.As far as I know, he's a tough warrior on the battlefield, no monsters or monsters.She thought that there were amazing people in the world who worked so hard without being great at all.



After greeting the nurse, Alice came back to work in the government building.The baby was just born and couldn't help but notice that Luna couldn't handle it by herself.I wonder what would have happened without Feng's maneuver... Alice returned to the office again thanking him for that.

When I entered the room, the two priests I met yesterday had already gone to the government, and I was facing Feng and talking hard.The petition to Feng, who became the new Lord Hermes, continued, and they seemed to be listening carefully to each one.

Hermes territory, where the war continued, seems to be more run-down than it seems now.

First of all, the biggest problem facing the country was famine.It seems that the country is currently experiencing a serious grain shortage due to the shortage of labor during the agricultural season due to the war.The economy also stagnated due to the adoption of the old-fashioned serfdom, and besides, banditry was rampant and security deteriorated significantly after the war.

Otherwise, the Adventurer Alliance had been shut down for the first time, causing the defeat of monsters flowing from the big forest to fail, and there seemed to be casualties among women and children.In the vicinity of the river, which became a battlefield, it seems that countless bodies have been abandoned, causing plagues.

These problems alone are likely to be solved, but the struggle between the Robert and Claires over Feng's succession seems to be endless, and some petitions suggested that Feng stay as Sir Hermes.

But he seems to be willing to take over one of these words overnight.While there are people in the world who can do as dirty a thing as getting power, why is it cleaner for people to ask for it?

Regardless, Feng's internal affairs policy was very easy to understand in a sense, as long as there was a goal to transfer power.It is about eliminating your influence as much as possible so that you don't have to succeed.

For example, from Feng, a modern man, I could think of any strong reform such as industrialization, and in a sense, it was a robust method.But if you do something like that when you're gone, it could lead to confusion later.So we avoided going too far ahead of the times and tried to encourage steady growth with what we have.

Also, if he moves, he will be able to attach powerful aid from overseas… especially from the Brave Leader.But will the people become more and more dependent on the brave and be able to walk out on their own when he is gone and aid is cut off?I want to encourage self-help efforts now to avoid that.

However, in this country, which is at best a medieval serf society, there was little that farmers could do.For example, if you are stuck eating, you would normally come up with selling household goods or eating them by handicrafts... In fact, even if you wanted to, farmers in this country had no right to do so.In serfdom, the people were the property of the lord and were forbidden to do business of their own accord.

Briefly explaining the political system of this country, what is called the "Lord 2000 of the Five Powers" is precisely the Marquis, and the position can be considered as a king belonging to the Empire.In each country they rule, a large number of priests and nobles exist as small lords… the so-called homeowners.And the nobleman made his slaves work in his own land, and offered the crops he had earned there to the Marquis as concord.

Thus there is no freedom for the slaves who work for the nobles, and they are bound to the land from birth to death, and spend their entire lives as a living being only plowing the fields.It was the current domestic situation that they could not have such personal wealth, and because of the double punch of this war and famine, there was nothing left to do.

Now... Feng first abolished the Sekijo in order to break this situation.They allowed the people to move freely within the country.

As I mentioned earlier, there is autonomy within the Empire for each of the houses of the priests and nobles, and the property of the people is considered to belong to the lord.But when the people starve to death, there is no former child.We need to earn enough to keep you alive.This will require freedom of movement and markets.

Emphasizing that, he asked the nobles to set up a market for each villa.The market is such that anyone can do business as they please if they pay seat fees, and the aristocracy is profitable by a tax multiplied by the price of shoba and sales.In short, the aim was to incorporate Rakushi Rakuza and encourage domestic distribution reform.

The nobles hated the people walking on their own, but they eventually broke because they would always make money in the throne.The peasants who suddenly decided to do business seemed to have seen it, but eventually they didn't like it when they sat down and died.By guaranteeing free movement in this way, the country somehow resumed its economic activities.

But it is not always good to allow people to move freely.Because when people and things move, bad guys like the bandits who are after them move.

Farmers were more inclined to sell their products as far away as possible, rather than in their own territory.Of course, I have neighbors with what I have, so it's more lucrative.But the peasants who wanted to go so far were, in a sense, ducks from bandits.Soon, there were frequent robberies in Japan, and Feng was forced to follow suit.

However, this was also the scope of prediction in a sense.In any case, he had a general named Waltstein for it.

As the robberies began to take place in the country, he quickly carried out a military and political reform.In order to suppress the bandits, an army based on conscription rather than the gendarmerie was permanently established.

Normally, it costs money to summon an army.Therefore, even though many lords did not usually own an army until the modern era, it may be unnatural for them to act against it in this famine.

But, of course, there was a reason for this.If I sowed it first, I would have checked it out later... in other words, to do a family register survey.

The Empire had no idea what the exact population was, because it allowed the aristocrats to run the territory.When war broke out, the Empire only ordered the nobles to send out a few soldiers, and nothing more.Therefore, it is customary for aristocracy to deceive the population of their own territory, and the state did not take such things as the head tax.

In order to rectify it, Feng introduced the army, imitating ancient China.Wu is an Edo period and wartime five-person system, which is a particularly notorious policy in Japan... In short, the system was changed so that five families were jointly and severally responsible as a group, and one soldier was always released from the group.

If the soldiers do not leave or if the soldiers who come in run away, the five families will be severely punished for joint and several responsibility.By doing so, the country was able to secure a certain number of soldiers, and the soldiers also had the advantage of not betraying the army because they were responsible for their families in their homeland.If the army also creates detachments based on the standards of the army, there is a bonus that soldiers who understand and act in joint responsibility from the outset can be created.

Feng entrusted the soldier thus obtained to Waltstein, and he trained the soldier as a Tunda soldier.Hermes moves after the bandits in their territory and plows their fields where they left off.It was a one-stone two-bird strategy that could eliminate the shortage of manpower.

The problem was that moving the army would cost money, but with accurate household registration surveys, it would also be financed by taxes.Until then, we have no choice but to crush the bandits and have them plow their fields to overpower their paste.

In such a state, Feng was pushing for reform that was as unreasonable as possible... but I was always troubled by a lack of manpower.He needed a civilian to understand these policies and take charge of internal affairs, but he couldn't find the right people to do so.

Both of the usual priests had great fighting power, but I couldn't leave it to politics.For that reason, Feng was struggling alone... but at that time, he realised that it was the right person for him.

Feng's reform was an unreasonable policy that took advantage of something... but the main thing was to cut the level of living from the Kamakura period to the Edo period.Therefore, if the person who lived in that era is only natural, then there are just right people.

Feng decided to summon him with a white feather arrow on Chiriku, who was in the Imperial Capital.He died and continued to struggle at first, but eventually he accepted it through persuasion from his friend Waltstein.

The newly born Hermes, who gained the usury, also consolidated the political system and gradually regained calm.However, the claws of the war were still there, and the situation was still unforgivable.
