Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 46: Human Resources

"Oh, gosh, gosh. I'm about to recruit now."

Rosward gathered the villagers and said,

Villagers look away.

"Do you want a soldier?"

"After all, this lord ..."

"But there's no place for military service ..."

"Let me not be chosen."

The noisy villagers.

Rosward sheds his cough and quells it.

"I said recruitment. I won't force my troops. I'll tell you the conditions. Leah, show me."

Rosward reads the paper received from the rear.

"Uh ... the target is an adult male between the ages of 15 and 40. Pays in wheat. Bring your own weapons. When they are recruited, they live around the palace, receive daily training, and take turns guarding the border. If you must quit due to aging, injury, or illness, you will be paid a retirement allowance.If you wish, tell the village chief within two weeks.This time the capacity is 530. .that's all"

Hearing Rosward's words, the villagers are angry again.

"Is that not mandatory?"

"I did it!"

"Well, what can I do if I can get paid?"

"It's a hassle of farming differently ... but do we need to move ..."

"I'm scared to die"

Rosward has a big cough.

The eyes of the villagers gather again.

"Aside from recruitment, there is another thing I want to convey."

Rosward receives the paper from the rear and says while reading it.

"If there are orphans in the village ... if they are under the age of 15 and have no parents, bring them to the palace."

"Um ... why is that?"

"Don't ask because I don't even know" (you don't need to know that)

"... Isn't that true and up front?"

As told by Leah, Rosward hurries up and closes his mouth.

And she glares at the villagers.

"Anyway! I told you the lord's order!"

Rosward fled to fool.

In a mountain in the territory of Us.

It was there.

Thick fur that cannot be passed by ordinary arrows.

Sharp fangs and claws.

Smell more than dog.

And the ability to knock down even trees.

That guy ... the brown bear was fishing for honey.

The bees boldly pierce the brown bear with a needle, but have no effect.

After eating the honey, the brown bear raised his face to return to the burrow.

An arrow stuck in his face.

The arrow penetrated the brown bear's eyes and penetrated his head.

The brown bear fell with a loud noise.

"Thank you, Gram."

"No, it's dangerous if you don't kill a bear who remembers the taste of a person. Until you did it for granted."

Gram answers with a smile.

This time, we stopped by this village to get a feel for recruiting and collecting orphans.

There was a brown bear who remembered the taste of the person, so he was asked to get rid of it.

After receiving permission from Almus once, he returned immediately and shot a brown bear.

"Thank you ..."

"Please give me the brown bear's fur. Others are fine."

When Gram answers, the villagers scream.

In the first place, the brown bear's fur is the gram that killed the brown bear.

So it is natural to receive it. And usually they ask for grain, sake or a woman as a thank you.

"I see ... by the way, how many subordinates are there at Gram's mansion?"

"Huh? No, I'm not there ..."

Gram confused and answered, the village chief grinned.

"Would you please hire my four girls as subordinates?"

"Let me see……"

When Gram wasn't happy to answer, Lulu cut in.

"No thank you"

"Huh? No, I'm like Gram ..."

"Oh?"

"No, nothing."

The village mayor moves backwards to Lulu's spirit.

Lulu pulled Gram's ear into the gap and escaped.

"Are you good? That is a village chief's strategy to let you in as a subordinate and let your child get pregnant with your child! Absolutely not!"

"But ... I feel like I actually want to work .... Look, I just got it recently ..."

"Then I'm living and doing housework. We're sorcerers free in peacetime! Is that OK?"

"Eh ... but ..."

Gram stuck, Lulu raised his eyes.

"Is there a complaint?"

"No, not ..."

In that exchange, about ten children ran to Gram.

"Ah! We also want to be soldiers!"

"No, you guys aren't over fifteen by any means."

Gram smiles.

Everyone seemed to be around ten years old, and there were girls among them.

"But ..."

"Eat rice now and get bigger. Come by all means when you're 15 years old."

Gram stroked the children's heads.

Gram mumbles after watching the children leave.

"If the number of such children increases and the army grows stronger ... Almus can succeed more."

"Yeah, but not just the army but the sorcerer?"

They laughed with their faces crossed.

There were orphans gathered in front of me. No, I got it collected.

Everyone has an anxious look.

Well ...

I shout at them.

"You have two options: one to spend in this mansion, where you will learn martial arts, math and the Greek language, and work as a knight in the future. The other will return to the village where you lived. I don't care, I don't blame. "

I send tax collectors all over the territory to collect taxes.

He also organizes various other documents.

In short, it's a little bureaucracy.

But bureaucracy always requires talented people.

It's good now, but after decades, the Ron and the others will become ugly grandfathers and not just a tax collector ...

New people are always needed.

The question is how to gather.

First of all, do the test and gather the best people.

But this is immediately rejected. Because being able to take a test means being able to read and write letters.

The problem is that it is not there.

Second, gather the children you want to learn.

This was deeply troubled.

But he died.

In the first place, there are few parents who have an understanding of learning, and they will not gather.

The children gathered are human children who have some understanding of learning and can safely lose their workforce. That is, the sons and daughters of the village chief.

Naturally, the tax collector's enemy is the village chief.

What makes an enemy son or daughter a tax collector?

The idea was to collect orphans and make them bureaucrats.

It is a two-bird strategy to save orphans and recruit human resources at the same time.

That said, there are some dirty reasons for this.

First of all, since there is no family, there is no worry about being affected from the outside.

And secondly, I'm grateful to me for raising me, so I don't have to worry about being betrayed.

There is no certainty that they are definitely excellent ...

It doesn't mean they can do advanced jobs like those of modern Japanese bureaucrats.

You just need to be able to read, write, and arithmetic in Greek.

If you squeeze these two things out, you will be able to learn by the time you are 15 years old.

"How about?"

I ask them again.

"If you want to go home, raise your hand. I will respect you."

When I say so, my hands rise apart.

About a third of the whole.

That's less than I thought.

Well, it's a troublesome person to return to Ima Saramura. I'm sure you'll be a great guy if you stay.

It is natural that many children choose to stay here.

"Then I'll leave them to Lulu and So Young. I and Tetra will take care of them regularly.

"It is good!"

"Well, if it's a chore for housework."

I understand.

There are good reasons for choosing them as caretakers.

First of all, their good care. Secondly, because it is a magician, peacetime is basically free.

And they are not official tax collectors.

Even though they helped, their profession is magic.

Bureaucrats are trained by bureaucrats. This is a problem.

When a teacher-disciplinary relationship is completed, they overlook mistakes made by bosses and subordinates.

This is a big problem for an organization.

So we picked two sorcerers who were not official tax collectors.

I'm dirty too.

By the way, the selection of children is over ...

I have to deal with customers.

"Hello. Arumusu Us like. My name is Isumea"

"I'm Yosei Akira"

The two men and women bowed down and greeted me.

The woman who claims to be Ismail is definitely a Christian.

A man who claims to be wherever he is. How many people?

Looks like Asian ...

Did you know I had a mysterious face, Aoi Akira smiled with a smile.

"I'm from the Far East ... the scarlet empire, which you call silk land. Sun is your last name and blue light is your name."

The land of silk ...

I've never heard of it.

Am I just a redneck?

"I want you to hire for sure. Was that a wish?"

When I heard, they nodded deeply.

"I was aiming for the very end of the ocean ... just a month ago, and I was trying to make my book a book ... and then I knew the existence of paper. I have the blessing of "language blessing" and can speak any language. I am good at mathematics.

"I see. Instead of working for me, I want to eat, eat and drink until I finish writing paper and books. Is that the case?"

When I heard that, Aoi smiled and smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's right. He's a rumored hero who grew up like Griffon."

Hey, don't believe that rumor.

Now they have tail fins and dorsal fins, and they are flying to the level where they fly and fly.

"And you?"

"I'm an architect. I can devise a variety of defenses.

With that said, Ismare offered a parchment.

There are blueprints and completed drawings of various buildings.

Yeah, good.

The fort on the border with King Domorgar is wooden.

I thought I didn't have a heart.

However……

"Why did you come to me because of this skill?-There may be other guesses, such as King Rossais or King Domorgar."

Will you come to me by more?

usually.

"No, I think you, Griffon's son and hero, can master my architecture ..."

"Lies"

When I say so, Ismare shakes her body.

"Hey, should I really tell you the truth?"

Assumed by Seimei, Ismare told the truth with tears.

"Actually ..."

To summarize her story ...

Apparently everything was turned down except me.

The reason is a woman. And the architect is already in time. And I don't understand what they say in Greek.

Well, there is already an architect at the influential king. Adernians.

The kings of each country who do not know the need to hire a woman do not know what they are saying.

But surprising. I think King Rossais will be happy to welcome him.

I understand that person in Greek.

When you hear it ...

"King Rossais told me I should go to you ..."

What kind of wind is it?

I don't understand well.

But ...

"It's good. I see. Hire me."

"really!!"

"Oh, the salary will need to be consulted later. Can you make a design that matches reality?"

When I said, Ismare bowed deeply.
