Tadashi Tanaka (41) Birth of a Kingdom – ‘Medieval Europe Is Too Harsh!’

It's been about February since I started living in a mansion in the capital.

It is a serene thing…… on the surface.

Rudolph is in government like Heijun, but he was completely out of his temper.

He's lost his frustration with everything and is troubling his surroundings by suddenly throwing his job round to Maurice de Groat, the new deacon, and his uncle Rodrigue, the head of the kin crowd.

It's bad because it has strong leadership.

I give the order thoughtfully, and if it doesn't work out, I withdraw it casually.

It's a repeat of the Morning Warrant.

In private, he floats strangely, and his stepdaughter, Floria, is drawn to the mountain house for weeks, so he is surrounded.

Speaking of in-laws, the affair with my daughter was frowned upon by many conscientious men.

Rudolph's courage declines as he sees it.

Obviously Rudolph is going crazy, at a level where psychotherapy requires a visit, but there are no mental clinics or anything like that here in the Amoros region.

Rudolph's bizarre behavior got worse.

By the way, Maurice, the new butler, is Jean's real brother.

The shadow is a little bit like Jean's, but he still doesn't have his left eye like a militant... does our butler have a rule that has to be a ship's eye...?

Maurice is a strong but honest personality, and I like that she hasn't taken an interest in the battle between me and my sister-in-law Floria's forces.

Though not hereditary, deacons are often inaugurated by people from the Groat family, an ancient kinship and leading knight family.

They accumulate butler know-how in the Groat family.

By the way, Jean's father suffered a war wound in his battle with Count Berger and secretly retired.

He was a plain man until he retired.

Meanwhile, behind Rudolph's bizarre tragedy, Lucienne seems to be plotting something... but I haven't been informed of anything.

"In case the plan breaks, the variants better not know."

"Now we should invest in pioneering and make achievements"

Lucienne says this to me and doesn't even reveal the plan.

Totally childish.

Sure, I'm 17 years old, I did some work in the war, but I don't have any political track record... No, on the contrary, my wife got away with it and started it off negative.

I can't help being treated in half a serving with this.

I decided to concentrate on pioneering, as Lucienne said.

Speaking of family, Smina, who was home, was persuaded by Lucienne to enter the mansion in the territorial capital with my sister Katya.

As usual, Lucienne and Katia's friendship is sinister, but there's no choice in this.

They seem to be spending time not touching each other.

It's good that Smina came back... she was totally awake to the "Battle of Women" when she came back to see how she was persuaded.

I hear she's spying on Andre and exploring my trends.

And I get squeezed out of my child by Smina every day... no, well, I'm glad to hear it.

I'm the bad one, and it's not good enough to be watched.

But... that cute, hard-boiled smina got on top of me... and it's not complicated.

It's Andre who's pathetic, and he's stuck with me and Smina, and he's got a stomachache.

Smina, who was a normal girl, tightened up my lower body under Lucienne's guidance.

Actually, I flirted only once since Smina got back.

The servants of the mansion were so grumpy that they arraigned for a little communication.

It feels like if a young woman was pretending to be my bed makeup...... There's nothing else there.

Both the woman and I who invited her enjoyed themselves without rotting.

It may be said that Japan is cheating or something, but it is a good story to hear in the Amoros region, where there is a lot of sex and little entertainment.

Sometimes a single woman has a relationship with a large number of men and even "nominates a father" when she becomes pregnant.

There is a huge difference between the values of Japan and Amoros around here.

This is what I found out.

Apparently, he was hooked up to a stakeout Smina surveillance network.

Smina said she didn't blame me for breaking the servant's cage and firing him. "What is it about seducing my husband," he said angrily.

The situation passed on to me through Andre.

After that, I delivered a small apology fee to the dismissed woman, and I care not to see any other woman but Smina in the mansion.

I don't know, I can't breathe in my house...... I want to see Belle soon.

Early Summer

The land of Lioncool is said to be the most enjoyable season with no rainy season.

Me and my crew were investigating the northwest of the Lioncool Basin for exploration.

Why northwest, because sooner or later he wants to cross the mountains and open a trading route with Viscount Draine territory in the northwest.

Viscount Draine is a relative and the territory is a land by the sea.

A detour through the mountain ranges is a distance and requires passing through many noble territories.

But if the route across the mountains opens, the distance should be quite earned.

First we create a base in the northwest of the Lioncool Basin, paving the way at some stage.

There is no doubt that exchanging the products of the sea with those of the mountains will benefit each other.

There is a large lake in the northern part of the Lioncool Basin, which uses the snowmelting waters of the Oriental Mountains as a source of water.

The abundance of water forms a river and flows from the centre to the northwest valley.

It's a big river called the Elbow (Cood) River because of its curved flow.

The Elbow River brings great grace to the Lioncool, and the south side of the stream is spreading agricultural land.

However, the north side has a history of marginal but high land and poor water resources, so it has not developed as an agricultural land.

Therefore, the north side of the Elbow River is full of vacant land, and there was no objection from the neighboring landlords to our exploration.

We looked north on the Elbow River, standing on a hill high.

The hills seem to be native to neglected low trees and spring waters due to the feeling of saying low mountains.

Down the hill is the plain, with an elbow river running slightly south.

"Let's make it this hill. Water is gushing, and it's easy to protect."

Lolo and Jean nod at my suggestion, but Andre and Tanqueray look sinister.

"What's wrong? If you need anything, just tell me."

When I urged him, Tanqueray opened his mouth.

"There's water gushing here, but it's not a lot of water. This will not expand the field… there are limits to building a pond."

"Well, how about pulling water from the Elbow River? From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like a big step..."

The northern side of the Elbow River would be less than two meters high.

But Andre argues against this.

"I can't, the water doesn't flow from low to high. You can suck it up or dig a well… but that doesn't make it a massive farm."

Andre and Tanqueray are farmers.

I have more experience with agriculture than I do, and I cannot ignore it.

"But, hey, from the standpoint of protection, this is the only place, right?

"Well, it's easy to be vigilant around you, and the water is gushing, so you can turn it into drinking water for the castle."

Jean and Rollo's thoughts are military.

In the mountains there is a mountain people called Erwanje, and you may make notes with the surrounding luxuries.

It's better to be strong.

"I see everyone's point. Let's create a base here this time and expand it if we can find another suitable candidate for agriculture. Tanqueray and Andre, that's all right? After that... let's see if we can get the water up. I know what you mean."

Everyone nodded and the candidate was decided.

We don't have all the slaves we ordered, but we have to build a home in the land if we can't get it together.

………………

The building began with a windy digging shed, where slaves gradually gathered and manpower increased.

The digging hut is at the foot of the hill.

Either way, I want to build a castle on the hill, but not now.

More and more people have gradually said they want to be my squire, and they are participating in pioneering together.

This includes former Robert's squire and others, who are probably Tristan spies... but honestly, there's nothing to hide, and the manpower is appreciated, so I accepted it.

I even think it's support from the Tristan faction.

Soon enough a digging shed stood where everyone could sleep, and a pond was also built for storing spring water.

By summer began to open slightly, and the development of water pumping equipment began in parallel.

When it comes to water pumping equipment, I think of water trucks, dragon bone cars, scooters, archimedian screws, etc.

At this point, the tornado cars and archimedian screws are hard to make, so dismissed.

I decided to build a water wheel without fitting it.

And I'm surprised everyone here doesn't know the water wheel.

The history of waterwheels dates back to BC and is also found in ancient Roman literature.

However, it was not widespread in the ancient world, where the slave workforce was abundant, and became a forgotten technology.

It will be given renewed attention in the Middle Ages and will be disseminated to flour and wood making.

Windmills were popular during similar periods, but they preferred water wheels to windmills in order to gain power more steadily.

It also takes the form of a "boat water truck" installed on a boat floating in a river.

There are no water trucks in the Amoros region of this era, but it is difficult to say that it is common, and even if everyone doesn't know it, it is impossible.

Now, let's get back to the variants.

First, the land was sharpened to create a stationary water wheel, holes were dug, water was drawn in, and a water wheel was installed.

I intend to dig a hole so that the water wheel is aware of the flow.

I have cooperated with carpenters and blacksmiths in the capital in the production of water trucks, but I am the only substitute that has seen the actual product.

The production was difficult to navigate and a lot of money was put into it, but Nantka was completed.

Though the pioneering business seems to be going well, two problems have arisen here.

The first is that the water wheel does not rotate.

I don't know if it's a water flow problem or a technical problem.

But it's true that we don't spin.

As a measure of bitterness, I quickly put on a railing and when I renovated it into a foot lifter, the trailer, it worked well.

Slaves are taking turns moving the scooter.

This succeeded in drawing water from the Elbow River to the pioneering land.

In the future, agricultural land will spread over a long period of time to the plains of the pioneering land.

For the record, I asked the carpenter and blacksmith to spread the technology without concealing it, but unfortunately they didn't have a separate order.

My aim is to increase agricultural productivity, and I don't care who opens it.

It is a little shame that no one tried to imitate it.

And the second problem……… is financial difficulty.

In personal assets, the limit came when I was feeding the boulders with slaves and cows and farm tools.

I borrowed money from Count Lioncool's house to raise money.

Rudolph is losing interest in government, so he can borrow whatever he wants.

It's an asset I'll inherit anyway.

I'm not willing to give it back, and I don't weigh myself down.

Actually, it's embezzlement, not debt.

It's a big problem because the taxes on Count Lioncool's territory were poured in with jab jabs to build my own personal estate... but this loss is Rudolph's thing that doesn't manage his assets.

I pushed Rudolph with a lot of unknown money, and I looked familiar.

In fact, Rudolph was lucky to have a good hiding place because he was building a fancy villa or something to spend time with Floria.

The people of Lioncool are poor.

Even if they don't take extra taxes, etc., if the Count and his mistress luxury, he will be hated.

Now Rudolph is in a position like a Tristan guardian, and his loss of courage will be a chase for me.

I have no enemies for Rudolph, but he is my political enemy if he shelters the Tristan faction.

I don't need an ambiguous attitude...... I worked to the detriment of Rudolph at all costs.

Soon during the lioncool, Floria wandered the Count and became the target of common resentment when she was told she was a "poisoned woman" fattening her private belly with common people's taxes.

This is a huge rumor intentionally circulated by "someone".

There were also a few rumors that I "killed my brother," but Rudolph's relationship with Floria was more scandalous and my rumors didn't seem to spread.

Little by little, the land of Lioncool was spinning with poison, and the opportunity for plotting was becoming full.
