"Fine. If we get more funding so far, we'll have no problem running the army. On the contrary, it could be used to invest in something else."
"Perhaps the merchants who gave the money have also given the money with that in mind"
"With that in mind, what do you mean, old man?
"Think about the boy's track record so far. You used to make a lot of money making things in Barca. I'm sure you're thinking of doing that all over Fontana territory this time. And I want to get involved faster than the others in products made in that business. That's why you put money in your Barca bank voucher."
"I see. Speaking of which, every merchant ever played on a rating check has been offering money."
"Oh. The moment the boy became the main agent of the Fontana family, the underrated merchant looked blue. From now on, ratings will be applied in the city of Fontana and in the direct jurisdiction of Fontana."
"Maybe that's good too. But an investment... I'd like to lend more of the money I collect to a territorial knight, and then I'd like to turn it over to education. Shall we also build schools in towns and villages that are quite large under the direct jurisdiction of the Fontana family?
"Wait a minute. Invest in education? You think we're gonna get more schools? You, are you going to fund something that's not going to be money again?
"Investing in education sure makes sense, except it takes time, old man. It's a use of gold. I mean, if you're going to do it, if you don't do it quickly, it's going to take a while for it to work, so I think it's best now that you have the money."
"You said that, and the kid's giving Payne a lot of pay, too. Besides Payne, there are more and more guys like that. There's a limit to how much money you say you have. You're not gonna make any money."
"... No, Payne and the others are joining us with knightly aspirations. I mean, they're giving me names. But I really want a lot of people who can do more clerical work. In that sense, building a school makes sense. Give Kyle's Reid surname and you'll be instant."
"Sure, the amount of work I could do if I was given the name of Reed would increase by half... But do we extend the school to the entire Fontana family direct jurisdiction? Same school in Vulcania?
"Right...... No, adding more could be a little simpler. Do you want vocational training centers only for children younger than the age at which the subject is conscripted, and only for the reading, writing and calculation of the minimum letters?"
"So, what's the point of building a school? If you don't get to the point where you can do your job, you're gonna end up down."
"Not really. Shall I call it elementary school, distinguished from what is in Vulcania next time I make it? The purpose of elementary school is just to find someone who's motivated and someone who's geologically good. Teach a child who came to elementary school with the bait of free lunch to study, and transfer this to a school in Vulcania if there is one. So, in Vulcania, I teach you something a little more advanced, and I give the Reed surname to the guys I've decided I can use there. Finally, for talent development."
"I see. If we narrow down the subjects we teach to a minimum, will we also reduce the number of teaching sides? Doesn't that cost more than I thought?"
"That's the thing. Once you give the Reid surname, make them remember their jobs and place them all over Fontana territory. That way the Fontana territory will develop more"
The biggest problem I have with governing Fontana territory is the lack of human resources.
One of the things I did to make up for that shortage of talent was to make Payne more rewarding.
A presence called Payne who worked for me and as a result was recognized as a knight and earned a high reward.
Seeing that, all sorts of them came to me to serve.
Different kinds of things came along that could be called jade stone mixing, but they all had something in common.
It's a glitzy eye to make it up.
It would certainly punch me into the job for playing the reward.
I'm hoping that some of them will produce results that I wouldn't expect.
But most of them still want attack magic.
I didn't like the name of a magical Lead with the ability to attack, even though this one asked me if I could get the Reid surname and work as a brainstorm.
It seemed like the idea of "I really want to keep my name as a man" was on my mind.
But, of course, I know exactly how good Kyle's magic is.
[Speed reading], [Automatic arithmetic], [Reading] and other magic alone were unlikely conveniences.
But Kyle created the magic of [reading], which transcends even that.
[Narrator] It's magic that something with the Reid surname can be conversed in two directions.
If it were meant to be, Kyle could deliver the word by sending thoughts with anyone, not just the Reid surname.
but [reading] is limited to one another with the Reid surname.
Kyle said that was to deliver a voice even to a distant opponent.
They say they can deliver each other's voices even at super distances because they use the connection of magic paths by name.
Naming gives magic to others by naming them, and becomes a relationship that allows them to receive some of their magic.
In other words, it's a state of constant magical connection, and you can use that connection to send thoughts even if you can't see the person directly?
Kyle once gave me that explanation.
In other words, those with the Reid surname can talk to distant opponents using the spell [pronounced], but conversely, they cannot deliver their voices unless they have the Reid surname.
For this reason, it is impossible to speak directly to me from a distant opponent.
So I would have preferred to have had a few more Reed surnames placed all over the place if possible.
Building an elementary school is also necessary for that purpose.
Besides, it's not just men who are recognized for their abilities in school.
My prediction is that women will probably study harder.
For the most part, the elder son succeeds the farmer, and the father decides on his own accord.
This world is not gentle enough to live independently on its own.
but there are exceptions in Barca.
Brother Hector's wife, Sister Eira, was given the Reid surname to be entrusted with a section of Vulcania.
And when I saw it, many women encouraged Sister Ayla to continue her studies and became the Reid surname.
There must be a large number of women who invest in studying even in elementary schools they've built everywhere if they find out about it.
If that is achieved, the shortage of human resources can also be adequately compensated.
Thus, based on new financial resources, I built elementary schools throughout Fontana territory.
