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

It was a bunch of paperwork waiting for me when I returned to the capital.

Although I am naturally away from home, I have to adjudicate cases that have difficulty making decisions that I don't understand.

"... er, what... a vagabond forms a slum..."

Apparently, when the territorial capital was comfortable to live in, there were more floaters.

That's a thankful story, but it's obvious that leaving it alone can be a hotbed of crime and plague.

"Get below the civilians and send them to the mine. If you're a civilian, let them do it in Baysun."

"Yes, I understand."

A young official carries my settled papers.

Clean and livable cities gather floaters like moth lights.

But there's no need to feed them who don't pay taxes.

Then you should effectively use the gathered ones.

Because that is the only resource worth...

Do not eat the unworkable, but work hard and experience the joy of labor.

"Yes Next"

I got the next file.

Many of these weird cases make me want to ask why you petitioned me about this.

Next up is a petition from the church.

It is what the inhabitants of Lioncool say they want to put on religious trial because they worked immorality.

Looks like the suspect put up my lord's face because he was a civilian and checked in here.

"Er, what, a man with a goat as his wife... what the hell?

Bestiality, which the Church strictly admonishes, is a crime.

Since there are hygiene problems, it would be better to go to religious trials.

Once there is also a trial in Amoros, the criminals must prove their own innocence before the people's congregation and nobility… in this case before the priesthood.

Although it is a mess of doom and tea, it would be the body of the trial if the responsible me and the Brotherhood of Witnesses were present, so it may be a trial format for me to whip.

…… Ask your lord how perverts treat you…………? Fine………

"Yes, this is good."

I proceeded with the settlement appropriately.

Next is the application for a duel between the knights.

"You can't retreat from the debt you owed 70 years ago... do it yourself, next time."

They have a lot going on in Lioncool territory.

I did my desk work neatly and was released a few hours later.

"Oh, boy, you finally cleaned up."

I stretched out my back and whined.

When I look in the garden, Simon has Enzo with his alumni.

... Mm, you're good...

I admired Simon's spear judgment.

Simon, who is 11 years old, has an excellent physique and is already as tall as an adult.

You can call it an adult body enough.

... With that said, there was a story about Simon saying, "Let's talk to your mother..."

I looked for my mother and wandered around the mansion.

………………

"That's done."

Talking to Lucienne about Simon's "handwriting," she answers without incident.

Lucienne sighed softly and bewildered me.

"Um... Simon asked me to like it or something..."

I ask around, but Lucienne says, "No problem," and there is no island.

"Well, your opponent..."

"Barian, what do you do when you hear that? It's about your lady's honor."

Lucienne made me look slightly angry.

"Good thing, Varian, leave the back story to me. We're done with Simon… I won't allow you to steam this story back."

Lucienne said Piscilli out, and I couldn't say anything and pulled back awesome.

… Hmm, Mother's words are good…… but Simon's preference is to stay close……

Something's buzzing me.

I hugged Chiara, who was having tea with Smina as I gave up a child in the garden, and I was forced to take her into the bedroom.

No, I don't think Chiara is exactly the "hand-minded" opponent, but that's what I call a "setting" in me.

Yes, the image is important for everyday business… it only adds moisture to life.

I played with the "settings" that Smina and I also said that after we finished.

Unlike Chiara, who didn't get it so well, Smina just matched me up with her years of work... something burned awesome.

Smina, who gave birth to three children and plugged them into her 30s, had a better meat bowl and gained a good fat spot… this is a pop and an ant.

... Originally because it's Boyne, I guess it's easy to get meat on it...

I grabbed Smina's underbelly and was strangely healed.

Many Lioncool women are in good shape at some age. I guess Smina is one of them.

By the way, Bell is very bad with Nori, so I have other ideas... location, tools...

After all, wrestling is not just about youth. It is the weirdness of matchups that increase each other that matters.

With that said, I remembered with tools that Morse fangs purchased in the Northeast a few years ago were processed into ornaments and such, but some of them were completed as joke goods by Anselm's hands.

They also had ivory soles during the Edo period, and, well, I'm willing to tell.

By the way, they trade at a tremendously high price... after all, there is a demand for "that hand" in any region at any given time.

Me? You don't need me yet. I have one, though.

………………

Bashraar's rule went surprisingly well.

This is because my reign brought down taxes.

The previous Viscount Bashraal owed a great deal (see story 33), because of the considerable heavy taxes imposed.

Exactly, even though it was better than a temporary tax rate of nearly 80%, it was still over 60% and close to 70%.

This debt, the ruler turned me into a charlatan.

The tax rate dropped to 40%.

There are circumstances in which it is said that this was set cheaper for popularity.

Naturally, the common people rejoiced.

But the old ruler class doesn't.

Those who resisted me were deprived of generations of land and acquired rights and turned into resistance groups.

In other words, whoever I came and gained became my supporter, and whoever lost money became my enemy.

It's an easy diagram to understand.

However, what is easy to understand does not lead to the ease of governance.

There are many resistance forces and it is going to take some time for the popular will to stabilize.

Confusion broke out on a scale that did not have to be called rebellion, with mobs targeting patrol soldiers and about five bandits targeting caravans.

I also went back and forth with Bashraal and Lionkul and tightened up the scene, but it was ineffective.

Naturally. It's not because the crime scene is skipping. It's not because the residents are rebellious.

All this will take a long time for the inhabitants to become familiar with the new rule.

That could be the rebellion that will continue over the course of a generation or two until the people forget the memory of Bashrar.

I don't think there are any shortcuts to all this.

Poncero and Jose are not invisible or in bad governance, but they are wary as rulers from outside.

"They're both doing good for me"

"... is"

When I work for two people, they don't respond well.

"What's wrong? Something bothering you?

"It's only unconfirmed," continues Jose.

Sounds like very bad news.

It goes without saying that Bashraal communicates information faster than Lionkul, surrounded by mountains.

"Dear Barian, there have been reports of the victory of the King's Brotherhood in the center."

"Mm, that is……… how much victory?

Even when it comes to victory, it could be a local battle or just a decisive victory like taking a local fort, or captive an enemy general.

Especially when it comes to force fights like this one, they often hustle a few triumphs over a needle bar.

"said the King's Brotherhood had won a great victory in a meeting led by each other's armies..."

"…… but it's still summer."

Yes, the rebellion that started with this year's head, but this was a mayhem that cracked the country.

Shortly after the army had assembled, it was thought that the settlement would still take time…

"Apparently, the soldiers did not gather under His Majesty the New King, unexpectedly. Especially since the Duke of Benetto and Viscount Dills, who were regarded as the main forces of the New Kings, have turned to war… maybe they had some sort of bond."

The Duke of Benetto is a leading northwestern figure, and Viscount Dills is a monarch with land close to the king's capital.

They may have been made by the Marquis of Verble, just like Lioncool.

"If we settle in the center, it's only a matter of time before we have a spearhead here... we'll need to review Bashraar's defense system. I want you to fortify the west stronghold."

"is, there is a report about it"

Poncello spreads the map and begins to explain something.

They've already started... Poncero, the man who can.

"But the New Kings are tough…… Is Jean or Father safe?"

"I'll take care of your acceptance if you run away."

When I shrugged unexpectedly, a serious Jose relied on me to undertake acceptance.

... it's a prerequisite to lose already...

I have already smiled bitterly at Jose, who does not doubt the triumph of the King's Brotherhood.

But Jose was right to say he was prepared for a bad situation.

Autocratic monarchs need negative thoughts to prepare for the worst.

"Well, I asked for it."

Once again, I entrusted my rule to two dependable ministers.

………………

It is not the same thing that the new king, who did not gather his soldiers, will recover the defeat of the meeting.

If the situation becomes unfavourable, there will be one person and one less ally to spill his teeth.

A power struggle is such a thing.

Instead of working hard to the end with the new Kings, it is smart to replace them with Kings and Brothers in the right place to protect themselves.

I have no brother-in-law to fight through to the end.

Conflict in the center seems to be starting to flow in a direction that's inconvenient to me.

But there's not much I can do.

... Father, Jean... run away in the right place without being mean...

I introduced myself to my father and my best friend and rarely prayed to God.
