Noble Reincarnation~Blessed With the Strongest Power From Birth

Saralulia, the state capital, Le Allarat.

Originally an oasis in the desert, it was administratively established in the state capital, and now it is the most prosperous city in Saraluria.

Nevertheless,

"... hmm"

From my point of view from the Imperial Capital, I can't deny the feeling of loneliness even when I look at the countryside itself with the memories of the previous life.

However, I wonder if it's a suitable style for the desert, and the building looks different from the city I stopped by.

It was an imperial state, but it felt as if it had come from an exotic country.

Also, residents look different.

Most people are cheerful as if they were proportional to this strong sunshine, but at the same time most are thin and have wrinkles all over their faces.

It seemed interesting to me if I lived in a harsh desert environment.

Well, let's find a place to stay first.

"Yes, I'll take care of it, Master!"

Payle responded and took a short run.

I'm going after Ivy, too.

Paille stopped in front of the building every time, scrambled inside, and finally entered the third house.

As I walked slowly, I caught up with Paille.

"Thank you for waiting, Master.They said they had two rooms. "

Hmm.

Nod and enter the building.

I didn't know from the outside, but it looks like it was an inn.

"Welcome."

When I entered the back, an elderly man welcomed me.

She is thin and has wrinkles all over her face.

Because this city is a standard face, I thought it might be younger than I suspected.

"Guests, why don't we go to your room and get some sleep or something to eat?"

I see.

I looked inside the building.

Released from the sun, the room was cool and pleasant.

The tiredness of walking underneath the flames suddenly made my body want moisture.

What is happening now is lobbying, with several tables and a tavernous atmosphere.

I thought the inn was no different from the rest of the city.

"Give me something to pinch on and a drink.Payle, leave your luggage with Ivy.If you're tired, you can rest. "

Yes, sir.

I see.

After I gave the order, another man came out from behind.

He's a young man, and it feels like he's in his early twenties.

The man leads Paille and Ivy up the stairs.

Meanwhile, I sat down in one of the available seats.

The old man, who had once retracted into the back in exchange for a young man, came back with a few knobs and a pottery opening bottle on the tray.

Put it on my table.

The knob was mainly dry and there was nothing special about it.

The open bottle smelled full.

Alcohol?

"Customers, you're from out of town."

Ah.

"Alcohol is cheaper here than water."

I see.

It has been a long way since I realized that water is precious, but it is surprising that alcohol is cheaper than water.

"I can use water for anything, but I can only use it for drinking."

I see, that makes sense.

I picked the knob off the plate and put it in my mouth.

After all, the taste was negligible.

"When that happens, for example, how do you wash this dish?"

"In this land, people who don't want to be travelers don't say 'expose'.Put some sand on it, and it'll get dirty. "

"Well, that's interesting."

While laughing, I took Ten Lean's money out of the way and gave it to the old man.

It is the legal tender of the Empire.

I know that it can be used properly even in Saraluria before I come.

When he gave it to me, the old man took his face off with paah.

Are you sure, this much?

"Oh, chip."

"Thank you. Anything else you need?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled enough to ruin his face.

It seemed that I recognized him as a good customer and suddenly became more affectionate.

"Yes, have you seen anything unusual around here recently?"

"Recently... that's the biggest change in my proxy."

The deputy?

Yes, the change of lord has lifted the child's deputy's body.

Ah.

I nodded.

Sure, that's what it is.

I didn't know that level of HR was not going up to me, the emperor, because I was just a substitute who wasn't family class.

Incidentally, even at the family level, it is not required by law to report to the Emperor, but the family that left the Prince's residence formally makes the Prince hear the Emperor in some way.

I also heard from various old people at the inn.

Payle and Ivy came back and waved down the old man.

They came to me.

Ivy tried to sit next to me, but Paille didn't.

Ivy, who sat down, looked at Paille and solidified.

Both are wrong, but Paille is more wrong in terms of outcome theory.

Sit down, Paille.

"Yes, sir! I'm sorry, Master."

Peiyu sat next to me in a hurry.

I sat down and said it to Ivy, who was stiffened by his mid back.

"Now sit down."

"Yes, yes, now, yes."

Ah.

I nod.

Ivy sat down and said something to herself.

My emperor and servant do not sit in the same seat.

Even a prime minister or prince will not be present without permission.

That's why Ivy, who tried to sit beside herself, was wrong.

On the other hand, even though it came out in the form of patience, Paille was wrong not to sit together.

In luxury and lordship, it is common to say that employees are not present, but I don't want to stand out that much.

"Hmm...."

I thought I was still around here.

I still have little experience of patience as an emperor, so there is room for improvement myself.

"Payle, paper and pen."

"Yes, yes."

While ordering Payle, I made a box of fluffy.

Run the pen on the paper you received from Peille.

Ivy stared at what I was writing.

Speaking of which, can you read and write?

"I was learning from Mary."

I see.

"I can read the letters for now... but I don't know what they are."

"... hmm, I see."

I stopped and thought.

"Nah, did you say something wrong?"

Ivy probably heard me interrupt my thinking.

This is where she hasn't rubbed off yet, and I thought it was just a little interesting.

"No, you made me realize."

Huh?

"It used to be obvious, but it was a rough word in a paperwork or something, for example."

That's right, I put together the three lines in the head of the sentence that I started writing, and I drew a line, and I made them cancel.

"The qualifiers around here have absolutely nothing to do with the body, they are unnecessary.Sometimes it's just plaintext - just words. "

"Hah, hah..."

"Thank you for making me realize that."

I just didn't know.

Ivy was so confused and terrified that she didn't really understand why she was thanked.

"Your husband always does this."

Huh?

"We often hear stories about people like us, and in some cases we hire them."

"Ah... that's amazing..."

Ivy was surprised and admired, as he understood in Payle's explanation.

"The story of a great man doesn't work at all....."

I wonder what the perception is, but I didn't think it would be wrong all the time.

I tried and continued with plaintext without qualifiers.

I'll send it to Don in my heart.

The content is to strengthen intelligence relationships and get a closer understanding of deputy personnel.

I didn't have to, but I've seen my father.

About your father who built an overwhelming information network.

Information is a weapon, you don't have to use it, but you can always gather it.

When I realized that I didn't understand the deputy, I gave Don an order to do the same.

Intelligence is not an official document of the emperor, so instead of pressing the mark, I put it in a fluffy box so that it could only be opened by Don.

After that, the concentrated consciousness returned to normal.

Ah, I noticed the noise outside.

With some angry noise, both Paille and Ivy looked at the entrance strangely.

Ivy, ask me what happened.

Yes!

Ivy stood up and walked outside the inn.

A few minutes later, she came back with a serious face.

How was it?

"The exchange tax is rising."

Hmm?

"A new deputy came and announced that he would raise the exchange tax by 30%.And everyone who got angry said they were going to protest to the deputy. "

I see.

Exchange tax?

Currency exchange taxes are one of the taxes that exist, especially in rural areas.

Common people - Especially at the peasant level, annual taxes are paid in fine money.

If you accept it, you will collect a large amount of change at the hands of the local deputy.

And taxes are once centered and then distributed.

Of course, we cannot carry large amounts of change from the province to the Imperial Capital.

It is common for a merchant to exchange gold coins and bills for transportation.

There will naturally be fees and wear and tear.

Exchange tax is a fee that is added to the normal tax after forecasting the loss.

Incidentally, it is the domain of deputies everywhere, but it almost passes the quote.

The farther away from the Imperial Capital the real problem, or the change in the exchange fee required due to weather conditions, so I gave him a respite.

The good news is that the deputies have all-you-can-fatten stomachs.

"You're a terrible deputy! If all of a sudden we get 30% more, we can't all do it!"

Ivy got very angry.

Because he's protected by John, he must be passionate about people moaning with tax increases.

I took a sip of wine and wet my lips.

Ivy glanced at me.

……

"Um, Master...."

"What is it?"

Can you do something about it?

"That's legal. If I tell you who I am here, and you claim to be within the bounds of the law, you can't say anything."

"Oh no...."

Disappointing Ivy.

Of course, there is no such deputy.

There is no deputy who can push through with "this is legal" even though the Emperor says to stop.

So, actually, if I leave, this place will be fine.

This is a good place to be.

Ivy's expression was turning from frustration to disappointment.

After all, I could see that there was something I thought the people wouldn't do...

"Don't worry, I'm sure your husband has an idea."

How easy it was to understand Ivy's disappointment, even Payle read it and licked her.

"Thoughts?"

"Yes. Isn't that right, master?"

Ah.

"But legally correct....."

"Then you can change the law."

Huh?

"There is no rule that the law should not be changed.Rather, it changes day by day according to the situation and the feelings of the people. "

"Er...."

"Go back to your room, Paille. Prepare your mark."

Yes!

"Um... what?"

"Oscar - I'll write to the finance minister.We won't make it this year, but we'll nationalize the exchange tax next year. "

Nationalize and then distribute.

I was crafting a plan in my head as I pulled them together and climbed the stairs.

"Nationalization..."

"I don't know, but I'm sure the deputy will stop the fraud."

"Can you do that...?"

"If it's your husband, it's easy."

"Su, wow...."

Ivy admires Payle as if she were bragging about herself.

It's not that simple because it's about cutting into interests.

If left alone, it could eventually lead to a huge wave and rebellion among the people.

I thought I had to do something early.
