The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

December 28, 2004 at 6: 24 pm - Toto Village Hall.

Guardian Moss was attending a meeting of village directors for the year.

"- That is the draft budget for the next fiscal year for the village of Toto. Raise your hand if you have any specific proposals for the surplus funds that have arisen."

To the words of the famous lord, the villagers raise their hands so that they can compete.

"Olas, there's only one thing from the Agriculture Department. I want more fields. We still have enough land to spread out."

"Come on, the farmland must have increased by about a hundred last year."

"Well, it's just that, you know, you can have 50% in taxes, and if you add any more to the boulder, the lord won't see you."

Village actors with arms and roaring voices.

"Shouldn't we use land and invest in livestock with no taxes? Look, what about the wind cow the saint gave you? That would sell for pretty expensive milk, butter, cheese, etc?

Merchant information networks are horrible. Recently, merchants other than Lady Gilles began to visit this village of totes. As a result, the village is developing beyond comparison to before.

"No, if you make any more money, you can tax livestock products too. Shouldn't we be exploring other ways?

To the remarks of this deputy celebrity, the department heads give their silent consent.

"If so, I would like people in the goods manufacturing department to allocate a budget."

Six months ago, Pears, a chestnut-haired young man returning from two years of training at the Sagami Chamber of Commerce, bows his head.

In about six months, with the help of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce, he set up a factory and created a new product for the Chamber of Commerce - a mirror - focusing on women unsuitable for agriculture and livestock production, generating huge profits for the village.

He is a direct disciple of Mr. Leroy, the TOP of the Development and Manufacturing Department of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce, and his technical skills are apparently considerable.

"If you develop a product, it doesn't exist."

"Oh, the jurisdiction of the goods is the possession of a commercial guild, and taxes will never be levied. If it is possible, it is in its best interest. Non agrees."

One endorsement after another, Toto Village's draft budget for the coming year, while slightly amended, will be passed.

After the meeting, leave the Toto Villagers' Hall.

Villagers are caught in the glassy shops that stand side by side as they make their way home.

Since that incident, Toto Village has continued to expand and develop near the ancient woods, dozens of times larger than before.

"This village has changed."

Regularly maintained alleys and buildings. The thick, tall stone walls that covered the village's perimeter prevented the demonic intrusion and were now the village's specialty.

This stone wall could easily be built by Moss and his team gaining top (high) earth magic.

It is no exaggeration (basket) that merchants have come to stay for a long time because of this wall.

"Three more months..."

The patron saint of the village has left the land of Millard.

The tremendous development of this village is due to the presence of Master Gray. New knowledge and institutions, of course, were taught to the spirit essential to its life, and the village of Toto acquired wealth that is now incomparable.

The variety of crops increases and productivity rises exceptionally. Moreover, certain incomes are expected because they do not rely solely on crops, and the whimsical weather no longer makes them hungry.

Schools attended by children were developed, and the village chief and deputy chiefs were chosen by the votes of the villagers.

The biggest difference is between the villagers' consciousness. Previously, I thought there was no other way than to submit to the life of a lord. Now, how do we get our heads to work to mislead and profit from the Lord's eyes?

With only this much reform of consciousness, I could see many things, and I could feel how important knowledge and information are.

"Moss."

Moving just by the face toward the voice behind her, Tana stood the woman who lost her brother in what could be described as that beginning.

"Tana, I heard you. You're joining the Sagami Chamber of Commerce medical development team next time, right? Congratulations."

She was now working with Karla, Lady Gray's entourage, and engaged in village health care, but this time, her achievements have been recognized and she is allowed to join the Chamber of Commerce's healthcare development team, which will rise in the near future.

"Hehe, thanks. You're the one who's having a ceremony next month with the magpie, right? Congratulations!"

While scratching her cheeks crunchily, Tana shakes such a damning topic.

"Sort of."

A magpie is a fairy woman with butterfly wings protected by Master Gray in a small ghost (goblin) raid a few years ago. She is currently in charge of village security as deputy captain of the Guard.

Initially, because of the differences between the human race and the fairy race, there was no intermediate or fold, but as we incidentally (once again) made our way towards one purpose: the protection of the village of Toto, we gradually became attracted to each other and turned into an irreplaceable being.

"So, what can I do for you?

Change the subject forcefully so as to deceive.

"Are you sure Master Gray intends to leave this Millard territory?

"It's not easy for him to bend his own words."

"I know that! But..."

Raise your right hand and seal what Tana said.

"Master Gray said something last month." You've already left my hand. "This is supposed to be your biggest compliment. All we can do is not disobey your expectations."

That's what he said last month when he returned the money he had borrowed to Master Grey.

"If Master Grey becomes the next winner, the land will be richer!

Recently, everyone was shoots, obsessed with the land, and proud. That and this would be because we could afford just to look around.

"Give up on the other villages. The only thing we can do is develop this village of Toto."

In this development of Toto Village, it is first and foremost impossible for the present Lords to exploit (Sawdust) unjustly.

The villagers of Toto Village are not slaves of the Lords. Because the Lord's authority to the village of Toto is only twofold: the right to collect taxes and the right to conscript.

The intervention of the Lords can be ignored if even the right to tax is taken into account, beyond not exercising the right to conscript.

On several occasions now, in the name of the lord, the use of that woman came to visit this village of Toto and ordered him to pay extraordinary taxes, but he replied promptly and politely to the effect that he would not pay them unless there were documentary grounds for doing so.

The messenger had called for him to be shot in the neck for treason, but if he could do it, he could do it. Even if that woman's private soldiers attacked, they couldn't have dropped this robust castle fortress. Assuming that soldiers are conscripted from other villages, an ex-post report to the centre will be required. Some chambers of commerce have dealings with this village. They should also be easier to do if the village was independent than if a poorly greedy nobleman were involved. You should also be able to get a mouthful to the center. In that case, it will be them who will perish.

However, the story will change if the village of Toto is involved in the administration of other villages as long as it bears (and bears) Master Gray. For incitement, it becomes a sufficient reason for treason.

……

Gilli, biting his back teeth with regret, Tana squeaks only small “ I know ”.

"Then I'll send you out laughing at that one. That's the biggest payback we can make."

"The saints are here!!"

The villagers' bouncing excited voice. Take the opportunity to move everyone to Central Square.

"You're as popular as ever."

"Of course not. It's Gray."

"Right."

Raise the end of your mouth, but Moss also heads to the square.
