Isekai Taneuma

Is Feng really crazy?Regardless of Guillaume's suspicions, the domestic economy has been improving ever since he took office as Lord Hermes.

Hermes territory devastated by the war was in a critical situation under the direct blow of famine, but the territory was finally recovering its former calm by encouraging the movement of people and goods through the establishment of the Rakushi Arena and the abolition of the customs office distribution reform, as well as by creating an orphanage for children who were in mourning.

However, we were able to save some of the children thanks to the orphanage, but the whole country still could not say so.Indeed, the capital Phoenix was booming with investment from the Brave Leader, but the region did not benefit from it and the economy stagnated.

The removal of the customs office was also revealed behind the scenes.When I went to Phoenix and found out that I had a job, everybody was headed for the capital, and as a result, there was a steady outflow of people from the region.In this country of serfdom, the people belong to the owners of the land, so now Feng has taken their property from the local owners.As it is, even in the spring, there will be a shortage of manpower, and it will be the second dance of the year.Feng was hated by the local lord for nothing, so he had to hit him as soon as possible.

Now, what measures can we take in this situation?Normally, if people were to gather in the western part of Phoenix, it would be quick to create jobs by developing the east to stop it.

Hermes was blessed with a land pattern in which almost all of the country was fertile plains, but the population was still biased westwards for a long time.That's because we were at war with other Empires, but now that peace has come, we don't have to worry about that.We should actively advance to the east.

In order to do this, we will have to make roads for nothing.

When I looked again at the road conditions in the territory, it seemed that there were many other problems hidden there.

First of all, although the entire territory of Hermes is a plain area, no roads were developed at all.Because it has been fighting the Empire for many years, if there is an easy road to walk, it will also be used by the enemy, so the road was not developed enough to dare to approach the Empire.

There was only a narrow road to the neighboring village in the territory, and there was a wide road like a military road, but it led to the relatively friendly Orpheus territory, and the northern part following the Imperial Capital and Seto was only vague.These are all plains that twist like mountain paths.Probably because it was broken over and over again.

Therefore, just improving these roads to make them easier to understand should have been a good economic stimulus.Phoenix is now experiencing investment from the Brave Leader, but if these paths are possible, money and supplies may flow through them to the Imperial Capital villages.

In addition, although there is currently only a sea route directly connecting the Imperial Capital and the Brave Leader, if you can choose land route, merchants and travelers who prefer you will also appear.In the north-central part of Hermes, there is also a huge lake bordering Bohemia, Seto, and the Imperial Capital, and there is also a city on the shore that serves as a hub for water trading, so the road to it will be wider.

Once these infrastructural improvements begin, the residents who are now coming to Phoenix should return to the area in the spring.Why boils and people prefer land that they are used to.The budget is likely to be covered by tax revenues coming in from the city of Phoenix, and the local lords won't complain about it.

If roads are built and new distribution networks are built, the city of Phoenix, the gateway to the Empire, should be able to expect further tax revenue increases.Feng will come in the future, and incorporated the funds into the budget to make a larger business plan.

Currently, there is only one road that connects Hermes and the brave to the city of Phoenix.Feng wondered if he could create another route through the big forest.

That said, Hermes was attacked by the Oak King recently, but it should be said that he is fortunate in his misfortune, because the trees of the forest were knocked down by the big transfer of the oak at that time, and it is now relatively easy to make a road.Besides, since the oak was moving along the riverside, it was possible to develop the waterway at the same time as the road.

These watersheds are now dominated by the Gargantuar tribe, and Feng's scattered evacuation village should have been staffed by Raven, a member of the Adventurers Guild.Instead, now that Mani has become chief, they are changing their policy to actively engage with human society, so they will definitely cooperate.

The problem is who wants to go through this monster-ridden road, but it's not entirely safe from the start, and there's a track record of lizard merchants already using it, so it shouldn't be used at all.So, this one is more likely to be escorted by the Beast, and the waterway is good for carrying heavy supplies.

And the biggest advantage is that the river leads to New Amsterdam, the brave capital, and because, for example, the supplies from the New World can be transported as-is at the port to reach Hermes, the larger merchants who are engaged in a wide range of businesses will want to choose this route.

If the rainforest, the big forest, is left alone, it will be covered with trees and grasses that inhibit people in a year.We need to make a quick road before that happens.

Now is your chance.

Therefore, Feng thought that even if he didn't have enough budget to issue government bonds, he should definitely start construction.However, when he announced the development of the street in the big forest, a spear came in unexpectedly.Robert objected that Feng might one day transfer the power.

"I understand what Hero said, but I can't accept it."

Feng invited him to the government building to persuade him.Because this business is very important, and I thought that if we discussed it properly and understood what it meant, we would definitely agree.However, when summoned, he appeared with his hijab… the so-called Robert aristocracy.I can't help it because I can't get into Feng's office, so I rented a training ground facility.

Probably to show that I was following so many people, but there were too many of them and it was like a oppressive interview.He was deprived of his title because he failed in the Hermes War, but he was originally a legitimate successor to the kingdom of this country, and Feng was a brave man, but he didn't know where the horse bones were, so he would like to tell him to surrender his position as soon as possible.

Well, I can't do anything to Phoenix with the Empire and the Brave Leader on his back, and no matter how many people he brings, it won't be intimidating... Phoenix was reluctant to think that Robert's opposition was caused by his lack of understanding of the business, but apparently there was a misunderstanding.They had gathered from the beginning with the intention of opposing Feng's work.

I decided to listen to them for the time being, thinking that I wouldn't listen to anything.

"Building the streets that Hero says will mean bringing the Beast into our territory.It runs counter to the way this country and empire have done so far.Where in the Empire is there a settlement where the Wesen live?Our ancestors have clearly divided the realms of humans and beasts.It's because they're barbaric and they don't understand what people say. "

"No, Mr. Robert, beasts have their own personalities, and they vary from person to person.It's true that Wesen are generally incomprehensible, but some of them are smart enough to listen to what people say.Using these people as intermediaries makes the Beast a really good workforce.There are actually some settlements where people and beasts live together in the Heroic Realm. "

"The Brave Leader may be, but the beasts that still appear in the Empire are all thieves who thief livestock and vandalize fields."

"Isn't that because we've eliminated the Beast in the first place, and only the Streamers come?

"No, it's not. No matter how much they educate, they don't know how to work with people, and they don't help.He's still a barbarian hunting his prey in the jungle and living naked.I'll be clear, Hero, because you don't seem to understand, but we don't want these people trampling on our territory. "

"Hmm...."

Feng kept quiet. Isn't that discrimination?I just wanted to say, but I know it's useless to say so.

There is no concept of discrimination in this world in the first place.For example, during the Great Voyage, who had doubts about connecting black people to the chain and crossing the sea?

From the perspective of the divine in this world, man is a slave, and from the perspective of that man, beast man is no different from monster.In fact, both beasts and monsters are derived from Lucion, so there was nothing I could do about it.Generally speaking, they lack creativity, and anger makes them unconscionable.I have to tell you, the Brave Leader is a little different from these guys.

But, as you know, it was also true that the Beast was keeping the Devil's tribe under control and containment in Neuroi.And sometimes it's just a jetty that can easily be destroyed with the appearance of the Demon King.That's why from now on, humans will have to go out with the veterinarian community in the Great Forest....

"Excuse me, but you don't know anything about this country.I don't know what to do because it came from outside, but if you're going to surrender that seat eventually, please don't change the way you used to do it.If we do something like this, we will be a species of laughter for all nations.Having returned to the Empire, they must still be watching over us.It's only natural that you've been fighting for so long.As long as the Empire may still be waiting for an opportunity to succumb to us, why not just give them a bad excuse to do something heterogeneous?That is why I firmly object.You will never let the Beast near my territory. "

To be honest, as long as I was angry from the beast snoring phoenix, Robert had a point.I'll be gone forever, and doing what I want without thinking about my successor will only lead to confusion.

Feng raised his hand slightly behind Robert's hijab as he said nothing back.

"In awe, I say hello to the brave.Would you stop developing the northern road of Hermes if you could?

"... what?

"As a courtesy to the Emperor, you may want to improve the breeze with the Empire... but we have recently been invaded by the Empire.However, I don't think it's very sane to build roads to make it easier for the Imperial Army to pass. "

"No, the Empire will never invade this country again.I checked with the lords of the other three powers, and the Empire wants to be friendly with the Warriors, no doubt about it.First of all, it was your general, Robert, who ruled the country together with the Empire.Isn't that what doesn't make sense?

"Until he had no choice but to follow the Empire to protect us... he must have been sincerely outraged by their brutality.Isn't that right, Twelve?

"Of course!

Robert recklessly declares.Feng had to listen to what they had to say, even though he thought it was kind of stinky.

We are gathered here by the nobles who, by their turn, now rule the country.If they tell you not to do that, Feng, who is only Lord Hermes for the time being, will have to obey.....

But it was also true that if I accepted it, my economic recovery plan would collapse.If there are any other alternatives, I can't accept that they just asked me to stop.The territory is still full of people who lack food tomorrow.

Feng bothered his head as he thought it might have become troublesome, but he had to get them to accept it as well.How much can I concede.....

But it was then.

The door of the room where we were discussing was slammed open, and suddenly, the voice of a polite woman jumped in from the outside.

"Objection! We agree with Sir Hermes!The fact that development is needed in the north, close to the Empire, is a fact that everyone who lives in this country knows.This country has to recover quickly.Everyone here agrees!You are telling Ser Hermes not to do anything on your own, as if it were the general rule of the land, but you are!

Outside the room, there was a crowd that was no smaller than the number of napkins Robert brought in.Robert looked at it and twisted his face openly and slapped his tongue a little.Claire Primrose was at the forefront.He was currently the leader of two major factions fighting with Robert for Feng's successor seat.

Claire walked into the room with a refreshing look like a Hollywood star, dragging her straight, beautiful blonde hair away.

"I had a bad feeling when I heard that the Roberts were headed for Lord Hermes in the middle of an election... but you were right to come.I can't believe you're trying to sabotage us with such a vile hand.... "

"What are you talking about?

Robert blew his nose and strayed from his face to make something out of him.The attitude was profound, and Claire frowned on what Feng meant. Claire smiled at such a feng and explained it clearly.

"The northeastern part of Hermes is dominated by those who will join my Primrose family.These people don't want our community to be empowered. "

"Don't be ridiculous!I wonder if we, who will become the first Ser Hermes, will imitate you like that. "

"If so, why are you opposed to building streets in the Great Forest?Maintaining a close relationship with the Brave Leader would make sense to increase the number of paths. "

"Then the Beast will fall into our territory."

"There are still no walls in the forest.I'll come in when I come in.You have many reasons, but none of this is a reason not to make the road.Are you afraid that wealth will be spread out simply by creating new pathways?

"That's not true!Don't underestimate me, young man!

As soon as someone from the Robert school flew, a grand chorus began between the two sides to lie and lie differently.The Claires rebelled and the Roberts yelled back.Looking at it, I wonder if the former is a reformist and the latter is an old-fashioned...

Feng was listening silently to the arguments of both sides as he confronted each other with the yelling.I wondered what Robert had done when he opposed street maintenance, but apparently they didn't really hate it.Claire is right, wealth is dispersed, and Clairees are afraid of gaining strength.

Why did he suddenly start placing orders on Phoenix... In short, looking forward to the disappearance of the intrusive Phoenix, Robert and Claire were beginning to pull the strings.No way, I didn't dream that people's lives would be at dawn, and Feng was pathetic and angry, and I wondered for the first time at this time whether it was really okay to leave it to these people.
