Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 179: Spider Silk

"Hmm ..."

I overlook the sea from the governor's office built by renovating the parliament building in Lezard.

As expected, it is probably the best trading port on the Adernia Peninsula, and a considerable number of ships are floating in the port despite the war.

The ship is loaded with inexpensive foreign wheat and luxury goods such as silk, cotton, spices, sugar, glasswork, goldwork, jewelry, and pottery.

Conversely, slaves, spirits, paper, etc. are about to be loaded.

"Your Majesty, what have you been worried about earlier?"

"Do you understand?"

"Unusually, His Majesty is looking at the outside scenery"

I moved my gaze from the sea to Raymond.

"Do you know that prices in Japan have been rising recently?"

"……Really?"

"Oh, I got Ains to investigate."

I accidentally hide my identity and walk around the castle town.

No, in fact, it is said at Barrebarre, "Your Majesty! Do you eat apples?"

Well, my disguise was bad, and I noticed that prices were much higher than in the past.

Then, I was concerned and asked Ains to find out that prices were rising little by little year by year.

He had moderate inflation.

"Is that a problem?"

"No, rising prices mean lowering the value of currencies, which means more currency circulation, which is a desirable trend because the money economy is evolving."

"Huh ..."

In the head of Raymond? Floats.

It seems that he did not understand the downturn of the value of the currency.

After giving a little explanation, the color that came to my mind immediately came up.

"Isn't it good? What are you worried about?-Is it the poverty of ordinary people due to rising prices?

"No, most of the ordinary people in Japan are homegrown, so it is rather desirable to increase prices."

Because you make your own food, you don't have to worry about eating.

Conversely, it's a terrible story for ordinary people because the products they make can be sold at high prices.

"There are three causes of inflation: one is the increase in trade volume, the second is compensation from countries, and the third is immigrants ... no, refugees."

"... I see, the Greek-Persis War effect?"

The Christian Persis War.

A war that took place east of the country, between the Alliance of Cities of Greece and the Persian Empire, where the Persian Empire ended in victory.

As a result of this war, many Christians fled the Greek peninsula by boat and emigrated to colonial cities around the world.

In particular, the Adernia Peninsula was a very popular place to escape, as it was a strategic point separating the Tethyan Sea from east to west.

The immigrants and refugees brought large amounts of gold, silver and copper to Adernia.

Accepting or not accepting immigrants and refugees is a political proposition that cannot be determined.

Simply put, the working population will increase, domestic demand will increase, and tax revenue will increase.

It will take at least 15 years for the working population to grow (until the child is born), and the time can be greatly reduced.

However, language and cultural differences need to be taken into account.

In other words, you can lend eaves and get a purlin.

Although it was a problem that had been controversial even in modern Japan, the situation is quite different between Japan and Japan, so we must not think in the same way.

The difference is that migrants and refugees are richer.

The sea lies between the Adernia and the Greek peninsulas. In other words, migrants and refugees are those who fled by boat.

The sea is so wide that it is extremely difficult to escape by raft.

In other words, only humans with a good trading ship can escape.

A trade ship costs as much as a small house for several people.

Furthermore, it is impossible for a single person to operate a trade ship. That means you have to hire slaves and professionals.

What this means is that migrants and refugees are only rich people who can hire dozens of fleeing boats and people to operate them.

Such a rich man would be about 1% of the Christian population.

The second difference is that the Adernia Peninsula is initially settled by Christians.

In Japan, most of the population is native to Japan, and everyone can speak Japanese.

That's why it's a problem when other people come in ...

In Japan, more than a quarter of the population, including allied and autonomous cities, is a Christian.

Cultural and linguistic issues were even more severe.

"I think it's okay to accept positively personally, but at the same time I think it's not a problem that the number of Christians increases too much."

A Christian who has come to me many times.

Now they have the same interests, but can we still maintain this relationship?

Wouldn't you be taking medicine and be poisoned?

That's anxiety.

"I think it's good for me personally. At best, will it reach 50,000 people at most, or will it not change?"

……Really?

I think too much.

It may be better to accept the refugees and take action on the religions of the Christians, rather than restricting the refugees and counteracting the Christians in the country.

"I don't know why His Majesty is so worried."

"... Such a thing will become a problem a few hundred years later."

It will be an irreparable problem.

...... Are you thinking too much?

In the world of the premortal world, ethnic problems, religious problems, and historical problems became so important that they may have become a little too sensitive.

In the first place, the concept of "ethnicity" was formed only in the early modern world in the world before.

In this age of the world, ethnic concepts are weak.

The Christians are people who are easily separated if their homeland is in danger.

The humans in this world are global citizens (cosmopolitanism).

The Persis empire is a prime example.

"... Well, do you want to keep the status quo for now? Instead, watch out for movement of people across the sea."

Now there is a new enemy, Pofenia.

It would be better to be careful.

"Oh, yes, there's one thing about population migration that matters."

"What is it?"

"I don't like the export of Adernian slaves."

I point to a slave trade ship.

Even though only the population is not large, it is flowing out of the peninsula.

In the same country, if it is traded between regions, it is zero, but if you cross the sea ...

"We have seized the port and want to control trade and raise tariffs."

Trade is the transfer of money.

Sometimes it comes in and sometimes it goes out. If the amount to exit is greater than the amount to enter, it will be in the red.

Even in a land where gold, silver, and copper can be digged crumpled like Japan in the Edo period, trade friction became a problem.

Even more so on the Adernia Peninsula, where resources are scarce.

Paper and spirits certainly generate wealth.

But there are still limitations.

Silk, cotton, spices, sugar, goldwork, glasswork, jewelry, ceramics, etc.

There are too many attractive things in foreign countries.

The kingdom of Rossais alone may be making money from exports.

But in the future, and across the Adernia Peninsula, are wealth and resources flowing out?

"That's why it's Raymond. Please call on the Christian merchants in the near future. We will negotiate and control trade."

"I see, your Majesty .... but are you okay? I'm frustrated."

"Some luxury goods are only dealt with by privileged merchants ... it doesn't matter to most people."

Rather, it is a good story for merchants because it adds value and vests interests.

"It's not that ... from your wife"

That's a family issue ...

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Request explanation"

"Nanigakana?"

A month later ... I was packed by Julia and Tetra.

I feel something intimidating from them.

I saw my daughter Fiona sitting on my lap looking up at my face.

"Did you do anything wrong?"

"I can't do anything wrong. I'm justice."

"Well, moms are good things."

Fiona laughs squeaky.

Yeah, anointed the fire.

Check the expressions of Julia and Tetra.

I'm more displeased than before ...

"Alms, luxury prohibition and trade control, too strict"

Tetra came to me.

The ban on luxury is a law that does not allow luxury in the same sense.

The specific contents are ...

Silk is prohibited in political places. It is allowed only for special occasions such as ban on everyday wear, parties and Thanksgiving.

You can wear up to three accessories.

Limit the amount of spices you can use in a single meal.

About this.

The Trade Control Ordinance is a law that controls trade in the same sense.

The prices of cereals etc. are adjusted so as not to lower the prices of cereals in the Adernia Peninsula.

The tariff rate for luxury goods is 33% (one third tax), and the transaction volume of each luxury goods is limited by weight per year.

Ban on export of slaves from the country of King Rossais.

And like this.

The anger between them is probably a luxury ban.

"Well, I understand what Arums wants to say very well. Luxury isn't good, because it's a national tax. Spices are precious, so you know you can limit their use. But, banning silk is not too strict. Even with accessories, I think three are tough.

Yulia raises it.

Tetra nods many times next door.

By the way, they are currently wearing silk clothing, hair ornaments, earrings on both ears, a necklace on the neck, a brooch on the left chest, and a ring on the ring finger.

It is against the law to wear silk clothes and over three accessories.

To defend them, they are fairly modest.

Surprisingly, accessories can be attached as many as you want, and even if you attach about six, they do not look flashy.

Most upper class women wear 10 or 20 women, so they are modest.

However, the unit price of each unit is high, so that the overall price exceeds that of other nobles.

Well, they're both queens, so it's not a good idea to be poorly dressed.

"I'm not luxurious, not, not, not."

Tetra grabs my shoulders and shakes strongly back and forth.

My head is shaking ...

"Hey, Almus. We think we're really thrifty by the general queen. Have you ever seen King Demorgar's room or lover? He's a jewel and a goddess. A wife of a Christian merchant. We also dress up more than we do, and our hobbies are spells and sorcery, but rather a contribution to our national interests.

Yulia makes it 1.5 times faster than before.

I don't bite my tongue well ...

"I'm listening, I'm listening. Yeah, I'm really helping. I think they're bad. I think I want them to be more luxurious. I also want to be luxurious. "

It seems that King Domorgarh (Carlo) has ten women, including her mistress.

It is said that King Faldham is a total of thirty people.

And I heard this from Seimei, that the emperors of the Persian Empire and the Scarlet Empire have a rear shrine with more than a thousand women.

It's a strange story.

I, Julia, and Tetra are super-thrifty.

With that in mind ...

"Please wear flax instead of silk. Isn't it good to wear flax? If you don't refrain, the meaning of the law will be lost."

I want to foster domestic industry.

Specifically, hemp, flax and wool.

Silk is the enemy.

Well, I don't say that hemp should be put on hemp, but flax is fine.

Not long ago, everyone was flax.

"Gnununununu ..."

"Kuuuuuu ..."

The two grunted, frowning, unsatisfactory.

"……Do you get it"

"You should take it off? Take it off!"

I said so and took off.

Tetra-shaped milk, Yulia's well-grown and rich milk, followed by the beautiful beauty of the two legs.

Yulia grows well, including her breasts.

The ass is big and I want to grab it by hand. A healthy baby is likely to be born.

It is generally fleshy, but not fat.

On the contrary, the meat is tight and the waist has a tight neck.

I like the ass personally.

Tetra is not as large as Yulia, but still has above average Adernian milk. It is large enough to be grasped by both hands and has a beautiful shape.

The ass is tight and cute. A little worrisome thing is that if your ass is small, your baby may have difficulty getting on the street. But Ankus was born safely and is not a serious problem.

It is a slender system that is slender overall and has no excess fat. Of course, the waist is beautiful.

However, it is not unsatisfactory because it means that it is out.

I like the ass personally.

What impresses me is that they both wear bras.

It is not a degraded version that I made properly. Silk underwear, properly reworked by a Christian craftsman.

This will not break your heart. It is safe.

After taking off their upper clothes, they also put their hands on their underwear ...

Oh idiot! ! My idiot! !

That's not the case for a product review! !

"Hey, there's Fiona. It's bad for education !!!! Hey, Alice !!!! Bring your clothes and clothes !!"

"That's just now!"

Alice emerged from the ceiling. Are you a ninja?

No, it doesn't matter.

"What about clothes?"

"It takes about 10 seconds to run with all my might, but is it faster for my wives to be naked?"

"Somehow!"

"I see. I'll do something!"

Alice puts out a black thread from her fingertips.

"Both of you are sorry, but this is also for Princess's emotional education."

Alice's black thread instantly turns them around.

They became nori rolls in an instant.

Bras and pants fall on the floor.

It was a close call ...

"Fugu !!!!

“Hmm!

Julia and Tetra moan with their mouth blocked by a thread.

It is naked under the thread, but the color of the thread is black, so it looks only like a human laver.

Well, this doesn't seem unhealthy.

"I can freely buy the properties of yarn. This yarn is fluffy like wool, breathable, lighter, more durable and stretchy than any fiber. Excellent heat resistance It's a good thing that won't degrade over time. It won't hurt your body. "

As expected Alice!

Nice! !

...... By the way, I thought

"Your thread can't be collected and sold?"

"Yes?"

Alice has a keen look.
