Episode 181: Second Census

As a result of the three defeats of the south, Japan's territory has expanded.

Well, then you have to do it again.

That is, the second census.

Well, it's not that difficult.

After all, the entire political organization in the region you control is still there, so let them investigate.

The population survey was relatively simple.

______

Total population: people subject to civil rights, their spouses, and families: 458,732

Tier 3 (own farming, heavy infantry) $ 74%

4th hierarchy (cropped. Light infantry) 20%

________

By the way, it is difference from last time ……

First, the population has increased by about 330,000.

Probably because of the annexation of the populated southern part.

In addition, thanks to the granting of the citizenship of approximately 100,000 people to the population of Rezado and the annexation of the whole, the number of directly controlled territories is increasing.

And the gender ratio has improved.

Perhaps it has diminished as the population increased.

Wouldn't it be enough to claim the second power of the Adernia Peninsula?

At least the kingdom of Faldham or the kingdom of Roselle can compete with our country at least.

By the way, for a while, I want to measure the enhancement of domestic politics.

There is something I need to do.

"Isn't it all right to begin unifying the metrology and measuring the national land and creating a map?"

"But ... unity of metrology is expected to rebound."

Raymond sighed.

Old Japan ... Before the Warring States period, the metrology was not unified.

I think this is a very famous story.

And, of course, on the Adernia Peninsula, which is more barbaric than in Japan's Warring States period, the metrology is not united.

First, the balance differs depending on the royal territory and the noble territory.

In addition, the weighs differ between occupied autonomous and allied cities.

It's apart.

If the distance is as far as five kilometers, the metrology changes.

It is very troublesome to collect taxes.

Let's unify here at once.

I want to say ...

"Suddenly change the measure you usually use !!!! means that the people will rebound. Of course, there will not be enough revolt to cause rebellion ..."

"But ... it's more troublesome to keep it the same."

It's like cleaning up a room.

If you continue to postpone just because it's annoying, you will be lucky.

"And what is it based on?"

"Why not meet international standards?"

International standards are basically the standards that the Christians use in business.

Inland agriculture-centered Christian colonial cities have a relatively variable scale, while Lezado, Nemes and other coastal countries use relatively uniform scales.

"Do you suit the Christians ..."

"Does something taste bad?"

Lymond sighs.

"Actually ... I've been frustrated recently when the Majesty is too sweet for the Christians among the nobility."

"Isn't it tasty to make the Ains noble?"

Well, I understand the nobility.

They have served the kings of their ancestors until now, and on top of that they have their place.

Nevertheless, foreigners in pots are given the same status ...

Not an interesting story.

"Do you care about Adernia nobles?"

Nevertheless, it is true that the measurement is much more convenient if it is set based on the Christian standard.

"That's why I ask you. Raymond. I'm sorry to just put a burden on you ..."

"No, it's okay. Let's do something."

The unification of the metrology of King Rossais was thus started.

"It's been a long time, Nicolaos. How's your condition?"

"Thanks to His Majesty, everything is going well."

Ain's brother, Nikolaos, a scholar from Alto replied.

Nothing else called Nikolaos.

"How is it? The calendar is about to be completed?"

"Already completed. Can you see it?"

I receive a new calendar from Nikolaos.

According to Nikolaos, the current calendar seems to be off.

Well, even without a calendar, people can determine the timing of sowing based on empirical rules such as temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc., so it is not so much trouble.

After all distortion must be corrected.

By the way, the contents are ...

Well, I don't know.

It's refreshing for me.

"I am proud of the world's most accurate calendar."

"I can't tell if it's really accurate."

"Now let's show the date and time of the eclipse?"

A solar eclipse?

Well, if so, you can determine that this calendar is accurate. It proves that your astronomy logic is correct.

"Okay, if your prediction hits, I'll decide to introduce this calendar. Well, I'll decide when to do it."

Anyway, I want to announce the calendar at the same time as the founding of the country.

That's better performance.

After the end of the postwar process, I assembled a group of Christian intellectuals in the palace.

Most scholars originally lived in Lezad, Nemes, and Gehenna, but there are also some prominent scholars in mainland Greece who fled the Persis Empire and fled.

No one else gathered them.

"We have no letters in the Adernians. Therefore, we have used Greek until now. The Greek language is the official language of the Tethys Sea along with the Persian language ... of course, its value is high, but for the general public Is difficult "

To work with the Greek alphabet, you must be able to speak Greek.

Only the Adernians in the southern part of the Adernia Peninsula, who often interact with the Christians on a daily basis, or the rich who can hire a Christian tutor, can read and write.

This is too impractical.

It is inconvenient for promulgating the law.

Therefore……

"I want to ask you guys to create characters that Adernians can use."

It may be time to create a unified language.

Actually, I wanted to start a little earlier, but ... Creating characters cannot be done with half-hearted knowledge.

You need to be familiar with the various forms of letters, as well as the words of the Adernia Peninsula.

In the old kingdom of Rosais, there were not so many talents in the country, and there was not enough national power to attract foreigners.

But not now.

The tip of the Adernia Peninsula, the largest developed area of the Adernia Peninsula, is the territory of King Rosais.

In addition, defeating Pofenia increased its reputation and made its name known abroad.

At last, it was possible to gather human resources who could create characters.

"My Majesty, I have one question."

One scholar got up.

Sure ... I was a scholar who fled from Alto, a city state on the mainland of Greece.

"Speaking of Adernian at first sight, the northern part (Roselle-dominated territory and the northern part of the kingdom of Domorgar), the central part (the southern part of the kingdom of Domorgar to the kingdom of Rossais), the southern part (the southern part of the kingdom of Rossais) and the eastern side (East Central Mountains) and West (Western Central Mountains)) there is a large difference in language .... Rabbits are also horns in the north and west, King Rosais is a country that straddles the central and southern regions. Is it OK to create a file? "

The central part is pure Adernian, but the Gaul in the north and the Greek in the south.

Sometimes the central dialect is adopted because there is the mainland of the kingdom of Rossais.

Considering the affinity with the Greek language, a dialect in the south may be adopted.

By the way, the answer has already been decided.

"I want the central dialect to be made at the core. Some southern dialects are interlaced ... yes, a three-to-one ratio would be just right."

As a personal speaker who can speak Greek, it may be a southern language.

And since there are many Christians in our country, it is certainly better to focus on the southern dialect in the future.

However……

The Adernians in the central region have no resentment because of that.

The core of my supporters is the mainland Adernians.

Don't forget this.

Language is a sensitive part that is directly connected to culture.

This places importance on public opinion.

"Okay, Your Majesty. Make sure you create something that makes your Majesty growl. Within three years."

"I'll ask you,"

Thus, the creation of characters exclusively for Adernians began.
