Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"First of all, military reform ..."

"Are there any changes?"

Julia asked.

"Well, don't change that much. I'm trying to reconcile both recruitment and recruitment. One thousand recruits, four hundred heavy infantry, four hundred cavalry, and two hundred archers. It hangs, but is it necessary? "

In particular, cavalry cannot be collected by conscription.

I have to keep training

And it's more convenient to have a standing army that works with my command.

The standing arm will be led by Ron, Rosward and Gram.

"The rest will be recruited, because it is impossible to make the entire army a standing army, and there will be no numbers."

War is a number.

Of course, quality is important, but if you can maintain a certain level of quality, the numbers will matter.

"The rest is a blacksmith from the kingdom of Demorgar. They work to make iron."

By the way, Tatara is the mainstream.

Iron is given priority over weapons.

If all weapons are replaced with iron, the next step is to turn them into agricultural tools.

However, iron weapons are almost complete.

Why?

The Demorgarh army gave me a present.

Iron weapons are now circulating throughout the army, thanks to their throwing away their weapons when they run away.

Well, for the army, this is fine.

Changing too much can cause confusion.

"The first thing I need to do at this stage is ..."

Palace building?

I started by gathering royalty, mainly Raymond.

Since I am a son-in-law, I have to stand up and do politics.

Well I'm inexperienced in some places and I'm glad to actually help, so I have no complaints.

"I want to move the capital anew.

I asked straightforwardly.

The members of the Losaiths fluttered for a moment, but Raymond came forward and said.

"Why is it? The current palace is lacking?"

"There are some problems"

I pointed out the problems of the current capital city.

"First, it is adjacent to the forest of Romano. It was thought that no enemy would ever pass through the forest, so the forest could protect it behind, but there were also examples of King Ferm And in the last war I used the forest extensively. When I marched through the forest, I couldn't see the enemy. This is a problem. "

It's about half of me. I have no regrets though.

"The next problem. It has not surfaced now, but it may come."

First of all, the wall is aging.

The current capital is the father-in-law's grandfather. That is, it was built in the era of King Rossais, the grandfather of Julia, three years before me.

The aim is to raise the front line with King Domorgar.

You can sortie immediately when you are invaded, and you will receive the instructions of the king immediately. There are such advantages.

This raises a question. Why didn't he relocate the capital when King Ferm appeared?

There is almost no distance from King Ferm's capital (Ass's mansion) to the capital. Moreover, the predecessor is ill and cannot give instructions properly.

This should be lowered here. On military strategy.

Just politics is involved.

If they relocated the capital, they appeared to run away, and could lose their centripetal force.

And there wasn't much money to spare.

That's why the current capital is here.

Now let's return to the story.

The second problem. It's spacious.

This capital is not very large. No, it is a standard class based on the Adernia Peninsula, but I am dissatisfied.

"Central bureaucrats and standing armed forces need to be created for centralization, and do you see the need to consolidate important industries such as paper and iron?"

"Yes. I understand that, and we'll do our best, but what's involved in that and the relocation of the capital?"

"The standing army is one thousand. Assuming one wife and four children, a population of 6,000 will converge in the capital. Do you see that bureaucrats, papermakers, and blacksmiths' families also converge in the capital? When people gather, more people gather for their wealth, and they will give birth, and they will give birth to more children ... it's only a matter of time.

My prediction is that in about thirty years the capital will run out of land.

If crowded with people, congestion will occur and affect the economy.

"And the hygiene is getting worse. It's evident that we can't keep up with manure disposal. The river is full of drinking water. The river grows dry as the population grows. It was a big blow when it happened. ''

"I see ... it's right. Then where is the capital city?"

I show the map in front of them.

He pointed to the place where the three rivers meet.

One flows from the Romano Forest, the other from the former Asr, and the other from the former Diber.

Building materials are transported by water from the Romano Forest and the former Diber territory.

Food consumed in the capital will also be brought in from the former territory of Asus and the former Diber territory.

Drinking water can be obtained from the river, and living water can be drained from the river.

This is the best place to put the capital.

"King! Here is ..."

"Is it flood?"

I seal Raymond's words.

Raymond nodded.

Yes, the place I've designated has always been severely damaged by flood damage.

The river in the kingdom of Rossais is not well controlled.

So when it rains, the water overflows immediately, and when heavy rain falls, the flow of the river changes by tens of meters.

This place is flooded every winter with rain in the spring and thaw from the mountains in the spring.

It's a place where water flows from three rivers.

So ...

"I'll start with flood control first."

"Is it flood control! There is such a cost ..."

Yes, there is.

First is the salt mine.

There are three salt mines in King Rossais.

One is a mine owned by Raymond.

The other is a mine near the current palace.

And the last mine found in the territory of Us.

In other words, I have two mines. Moreover, the mine in the Ath territory is much larger than the other two.

Next is paper.

With me becoming king, paper production began on a national scale.

Now, instead of gathering people on a temporary basis, we are gathering craftsmen and continuing production while nurturing them.

And the last war .... The profits and the city of the blouse gained in the war that is said to be one week war recently.

Funds obtained from looting, funds obtained from compensation.

And enormous profits from garnet.

There is enough funding for flood control.

Until now, King Rossais himself was sick and lack of funds prevented extensive flood control.

It seems to have been a little small.

"First of all, we will flood the area around the planned capital construction site. We will ask for the married people from the royal family. Naturally, we will pay all the meals for the married people. This will not complain."

In other words, I want to say that we don't need the money to bring people.

"King Rossais has no opposition to flood control. Reducing floods will reassure people and improving irrigation will increase crop yields by several times. I know that King Rossais has hired a Christian architect, but flood control is different from architecture. Can that Christian do that? "

"No problem. Another employer is a Christian. A scholar who knows astronomy and geology. A scholar and an architect alone can achieve this."

I said confidently.

"And what about the defense line? As you know, the capital is now aware of the kingdom of Domorgar. As the territory increases and the border line rises north, the capital rises north Shouldn't it be down south? "

"That's true, but I think the kingdom of Domorgar is not a big threat now. The fear now is to create a siege in the surrounding countries, so bring the capital as centrally as possible. It's better, and I'm going to make a paved road to the border, parallel to the flood control, that's enough. "

I also need a station.

Immediately increase the speed of information transmission.

If you succeed, you will be able to respond faster than ever.

"I see ... no problem."

Lymond dropped down lightly.

Thus, the flood control work was decided.

"How is it? Ismare. How do you feel your master is king?"

"... Well, it seems like the dragon was born if you warmed the chicken eggs?"

"It seems like you can understand it, but you don't know."

Blue light caught his mouth from the side.

"Well, but it was a great suppression.

"I don't care. Don't overdo it, but don't overdo it."

Old history books are appropriate.

There is one more, right? It's just.

Witness A [It was a great army! "

Recorder A [I see ... a million Nishikoto]

It's a feeling I want to see.

"Where did you call me?"

"Well, to be honest, it's about building the capital and designing it. Aoaki, I'm looking forward to your knowledge."

I don't have time to go to other countries to see the city. They rely on them.

In particular, Seimei has come to see the cities of the Scar Empire and the Persian Empire.

"Is it true? @ The city for me!"

Ismare leans forward.

Well, it would be the highest honor for an architect.

"You're not the only one? I'm going to call on other Christians. Your design will depend on your abilities."

But I know the power of Ismare.

The architects beyond her are not.

"But the place I'm planning has been badly flooded for a long time."

I hand the map to Ismare and point to the destination.

"Wow ... this is a great place to see ..."

Ismare frowned.

"So we have to control the river before building the city. Can we do it? Around here."

Ismare clouded her face in my words.

"You can do it with a small river, but at such a large scale ... flood control will be worse if you do poorly. You will need specialized knowledge. And you're a magician."

"I see. In other words, you need a geoscientist."

The magician is good because he has a tetra.

I'm in trouble ... I wonder if there is a scholar who is looking for a job somewhere.

"King, Ains wants a visit."

The guard told me so.

what's that? The debt should have been returned.

“Ains?

When I said so, Ains entered.

Ains sat down once again, bowed deeply and greeted her again.

And start a story.

"Actually, there is a geoscientist !!"

"What do you mean? Do you have the ability to predict?"

"I don't have it. I was just fine if I wanted to introduce a geoscientist, because you were talking about it."

As expected, Ains. Does your firm deal with geoscientists?

Timing is good.

"I'm my brother."

"... Did you turn your real brother into a slave ..."

That's the lowest as a human.

"No! I'm not a slave. I'm a decent person. I'm a weird. Why don't you see me?"

"Well, that's right.

After a while, Ains brought the man.

The man called himself Nikolaos.

What a terrible, eccentric atmosphere.

"I'm a scholar in Greece and I'm Nikolaos. I specialize in astronomy, but I can do anything with mathematics, geology and physics."

"Ah! Alto's weirdo! Nikolaos, the top ranked scholar!"

Ismare pointed to Nikolaos.

"Hey! Who's a weirdo!"

Your brother said you were weird.

But is it at the top of the bad ranking? Or rather there is such a ranking.

"It's a terrible mess. The earth is circling around, the earth is circling around. I'm calling around in the morning instead of greeting me. Habits, they don't give good proof, persecution or paranoia at the end of the verse, are you a scholar of tragedy? My friends were always bitter. ''

"So this one would say that the calculation is correct!"

"Any numbers are missing? Then discover and show the parallax every year!"

"Then, explain the star's retrograde movement!"

So it's before the king?

Well, it's good. I'm fine.

Even so, it's becoming like a netless battle. Is a Christian just like this?

Apparently, it seems that there is a struggle between the theory of heaven and earth.

which is it?

It is certain that this star is round at first. You can see it by looking at the boat.

But I don't know if it's around the sun or the sun.

There are sorcery, fairy, blessing and griffon in this world, so I am surprised when the sun goes around.

I don't know about astronomy.

"Either way is fine, but can we control the flood?"

"Yes. I can. I have some confidence in the movement of the river."

Huh ...

"Then Ismare, Seimei, Nikolaos, and Tetra. Order four people to control the river. Well, only after the meeting is over.

"Hah!"
