Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 158: First Census

The first census was conducted in tandem with the distribution of civil rights.

Until now, the population has been irregularly surveyed by each tribe in Japan, such as when the king replaces it.

The land was barely surveyed until I became king.

However, in such a situation, the rights of citizenship cannot be distributed.

Without knowing the people's wealth, it is impossible to tell if the person should be a light infantry or a heavy infantry.

That's why I decided to examine everything here once.

Of course, this is a huge expense.

The cost was fifty Taranto.

Considering that the national income of our country is 1,000 Taranto, it is a considerable burden.

Since it is impossible to do it every year, we will do it once every five years.

"Your Majesty. The results of the census came out."

"Thank you, Raymond. Show me."

I spread the paper with the results of the census.

____________

"I see ... there is more population than expected."

Are there 500,000 people?

...... No, is it like this?

The investigations so far have been appropriate, and recently the territory has grown considerably.

It's not strange.

And I knew the total strength.

About 90,000.

Most of all, we can't always move this 90,000.

At best, about half of the time is around 40,000 for two weeks or three weeks.

For long-term mobilization, around 10,000 is desirable.

Even so ... It's easy to understand when you express it this way.

I understand the situation in our country.

For example, gender ratio.

Men are 8% lower.

Originally, women tend to live longer, so it is standard for women to have a higher ratio ...

The reason for this bias is that men are dead in war.

A small number of people die in a single war, but if they overlap each year, it will be a big distortion.

Well, I think it will be restored by Fisher's law in ten years.

Another interesting thing is the slave population.

Eight percent of the population are slaves.

It is not possible to judge whether this is large or small.

Is it a healthy number?

But even if 40,000 slaves are armed and uprising, the total force is 90,000 and it is easy to suppress them.

Not a critical number.

The little problem is the land.

About 35% of the land is under the control of the nobility.

The revenue from this is huge.

I want to collect control right in the center as soon as national land ...

It's impossible now.

"In any case, once the legal codification is done, I'm ready to issue prosecution."

About ten months have passed so far.

It can be managed within a year.

"Yes ... I can finally rest."

Lymond drops her shoulder.

It put a heavy burden on Raymond.

Actually, I wanted to help Raymond, but I was told Raymond to sleep.

This is what you do, so your Majesty should do what he can.

In other words, make a child and make a succession as soon as possible.

I was working hard to make a child with Julia and Tetra while Rymond cut down on sleep and worked hard.

My heart was crushing.

Well, that didn't mean that Raymond's face came to mind.

Unfortunately, my seed seems to be alive, and so far there are no signs of pregnancy.

You have to make a quick hit for Raymond.

"Almus has something to show."

One day, Tetra pulled her sleeves out.

His face is slightly upbeat.

"Did something happen?"

"Because it is good"

I go out to the backyard, being taken by Tetra.

There was a large magic team in the backyard, with a large crystal in the center.

A magician with five wands around the magic team ... no, there is a magician woman.

"Start with"

When Tetra gives an order, the five people around him point their staff at the ground with the magic circle.

The magic team begins to shine.

The light gradually increases ... even the crystal begins to shine.

The light of the crystal gradually increases.

"Stop"

The magicians pulled the wand off the ground.

Tetra walks with Stasta and picks up the crystal.

"look"

"... It's cloudy"

The crystal that was transparent until recently was white and cloudy.

what's that? this is.

"Complete version of the magic storage device. This can store as much magic as this magic stone."

Tetra showed her arms wide open.

It is about one meter directly.

"Is this size?"

Quartz is about 10 cm tall and 5 cm wide.

If it's true, it's a big innovation.

"Yeah, this is equivalent to all my magic."

"By the way, how much is this crystal for Yulia?"

"Isn't it about 10,000?"

Is he a human?

"This is Almus"

Tetra shows its size with thumb and forefinger.

Yeah, I almost never have it. I understand well.

"Can this crystal be reused?"

"In the experiment, it was able to withstand up to ten times. The magic inside is halved in a month."

Isn't that amazing?

Can you use powerful magic if there are many of them?

Military power jumps.

"It's not that great. First, you need a crystal with high transparency. And it takes about five days to convert the crystal into a magic accumulator. And ..."

Tetra holds the crystal with his left hand and shakes his wand with his right hand.

The flame erupted from the tip of the Tetra's wand, resulting in a fireball about one meter in diameter.

Tetra launches a fireball high in the sky.

The fireball scattered above the sky and disappeared.

"look"

Tetra is sticking out the crystal.

The crystal is changing to transparent.

"It's empty. I can't fire."

Hmm ...

Certainly, it would be more efficient to produce black powder.

The fireball has a visual impact, but its power is surprisingly small.

A massless flame hits for a moment, and mist does not kill anyone.

"But I did my best"

Tetra turned her cheeks a bit red.

Blue sky hair is pressed against my chest.

"Praise"

"Good child, good child"

I stroke the Tetra's delicate hair.

And he hugged me strongly.

"Would you like to produce about six of these for now? If you gather that much, you'll be able to use magic to break down the walls."

"Yeah, ok ... I'm thinking of an efficient way."

After saying so, Tetra spoke her face from my chest.

Two days later.

"Hey, hey Almus. Come a little."

Julia pulls my sleeve.

She is smiling all over.

"What happened?"

"Because it is good"

I head to Yulia's room, guided by Yulia.

As the door opened, a sweet scent clung to my nose.

"I still don't smell strange"

"I get used to it unexpectedly"

Julia said, and brought a vase on the desk.

"Try this a little."

"……Are you okay?"

"Okay. I'm alive."

Is it okay ...

I put some medicine in my vase.

Apparently it is forcibly sweetened with honey, and the sweet and bitter tastes bring out the exquisite taste.

"Somebody's hot ..."

"A medicine that restores magic and magic. There are individual differences."

Awesome invention! !

"Hey, it's amazing! That's why ..."

"A good child, a good child ...?"

I put my hand on Yulia's head and stroke my head.

Yulia comfortably presses her head against my chest.

I kept stroking my head, supporting Yulia's weight.

After a while, Julia left.

The face is a little red.

"It's something embarrassing ... Tetra did it in public ..."

"He doesn't care about human eyes. By the way, what is the raw material for this medicine?"

I listened horribly.

Yulia smiles with a pretty smile.

"A powerful drug called magic grass"

"How can you eat things!"
