The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

(Uh, Tsuman...)

When a month had passed since he began acting as lord, Isaac grew tired of it early.

(I don't know, it's plain...)

Isaac is only acting on behalf of the Lords (instead of Randolph).

Even if we come up with drastic proposals for reform, they are immediately rejected by Hans' hands.

For example, when I suggested Rakuma Rakuza...

"Reduce taxes so anyone can start their business freely? Don't be silly! It is true that commerce has become more active and wellrod territory may become moist in the future. But that could inspire many chambers of commerce to relocate their bases from other territories. In that case, it could cause economic disruption to all the other territories. If that's what you want to do, if you don't do it at the same time throughout the Reid kingdom, you'll buy unwanted grudges. If you really want to do it, you're going to be king."

- And I got kicked in the ass.

But Isaac doesn't regret it.

I was rather grateful.

Because when I proposed it, I didn't think about the impact it would have on other territories.

Nobunaga Oda, referenced, was surrounded by enemies.

That's why I put all my efforts into developing my territory in disregard of the economies of the surrounding countries and so on.

Like Isaac, it was not a policy that local lords with nobles from the same country around them could do.

As much as I appreciate having a brake role.

Other proposals were put forward to make the peasants' three sons and later professional soldiers.

But it also says, "Is there support for an economy that can support arms expansion?" I just had to shut up in one word.

The wall of reality gets in the way, even as we try to imitate the historical figures we read in the book.

For that reason, Isaac had no choice but to work silently and seriously.

Only once a week off when Lisa came to visit was the time to rest her mind.

"Isaac, what do you think of this matter?

Hans shows Isaac a single document.

"Is this an expansion of Tilly Hill..."

The content was a request from Baron Olgren, who would rule Tilly Hill, to fund the expansion of the city.

They want to make the city bigger, increase their dwellings, hire new people and build new mining sites.

"It's a rumor I heard when I was in church, but it seems a number of miners who can't be ignored are fleeing to Count Brander territory at night. Even if the confusion over Wallick Marquis territory subsides, the amount of mining will not return immediately. It doesn't work immediately, but I don't think it's a bad idea to expand it."

"Sure! No, but..., um..."

Isaac is troubled.

I do feel safe with more mines in front of me.

But that's why I couldn't get an instant answer.

Sadly, "there must be something wrong with me because it's what makes me want to jump," by this time, I was beginning to assume.

After a little thought, I chose the safety measure of asking questions to those involved.

"Norman, give Mr. Claude a minute." What would the elves think if we did mine expansion in Tilly Hill? ♪ Will you ask me ♪

"Okay."

Isaac calls out to Norman, who was taking notes when he saw Francis' work.

He left the room immediately.

"... well, speaking of which, Tilly Hill is near Elf's residence. When it comes to increasing mining sites, we need to conduct large-scale deforestation"

"Yes, then you might buy the antipathy of an elf living in the woods"

"That's the hard part to judge."

Hans also showed an understanding of Isaac's fears.

Tilly Hill today is not a local city to maintain mining technology.

He is also beginning to have a role as a trading city with elves.

"Isn't Tilly Hill no longer able to develop at will just for human convenience," Hans thought.

After a while, Norman showed up.

"Master Isaac, Mr. Claude wants to speak directly."

"Oh, that's right. You want to tell him with your own mouth. Let me in."

Apparently Claude didn't ask for a statement, he came to say it directly.

Comes into the room with a strange face.

"I want you to know that this is only an opinion and not a formal request."

"Yeah, I know."

Claude is staying as an elf ambassador.

But that's not why he can decide everything in his own personal thoughts.

Because it has not even been given a delegation of plenipotentiaries to negotiate on its behalf.

It was his role to convey Elf's thoughts at times like this one.

"As a general observation, it doesn't feel very good that some of the woods we live in will be destroyed. I didn't make the choice to live with the Dwarves after the war because I didn't want to see natural destruction."

Claude's opinion was easy to understand.

If you ask me, Isaac also convinces me that it does.

Formerly a joint front was placed on human opponents, but the dwarves who cut through forests and mine underground resources are the same as humans.

Even though I felt life was inconvenient, I had a good reason to live away from where the Dwarves lived.

"But I'm not telling you not to develop it. We also benefit from the fact that humans make iron products for us. However, if you can, I'm sure you'd like us to do it in a place as far away as Marquis Wallick."

"I see."

It's easy to listen to Claude and say, "Elves are selfish."

But the big difference isn't where "race and religion are different" where there were a lot of problems in the previous life as well.

Let us not forget that "race is different".

Even though we have lived together with humans in the past and common sense is similar, the fundamental parts are different.

And Isaac thought Claude's opinion would be better received exaggerated.

He is used to living with humans.

It should be an average elf idea to assume a slightly more radical opinion than to receive it as it is.

You should think, "If you develop, you'll start hating the people who live in this day and age".

It seems that we should not embark on the construction of a new mining site that even Claude does not like.

"Mr. Hans, I don't think I should build a new mining site."

Isaac chooses a convenient way.

But Hans had something to fear.

"I know what Isaac thinks, but you better not do that. Tilly Hill is Marquis Welrod territory, the realm of man. If you do it badly, they might take it if you don't get your head up on the elf instead of taking care of the elf."

If this is development into the realm of the elves, it will also be understood that it will be done in consultation.

But conceding to the elves in the human realm is seen as weak hips.

Hans was worried about that.

"No, that's okay. Because there are other reasons not to make it besides elves."

Then Isaac told us why it would be better not to build a new one.

"Now I think it would be useless to build a new mining site from now on. 'Cause the only thing I've ever had is a minimal mining site because the iron ore quality was bad, right? Wouldn't it be used if the confusion in the Marquis of Wallick's territory subsided or if the mine in Count Brander's territory began to be fully operational? That will eliminate the need for a mining site. There's a lot of people who lose their jobs and get lost on the streets, right?

This is because the news of my previous life came to mind when I was listening to Claude and I thought, "I shouldn't build a mining ground.

" is very popular!" More companies have built factories that have made enough products to be featured.

But by the time the factory went into operation, the boom had passed, and the new factory was no longer needed and closed.

I've heard stories about good, retarded, and if bad, the company went bankrupt.

Isaac remembered the story and wondered if there was any need for a mining site in Tilly Hill.

I guess there was something in Isaac's opinion that Hans thought too.

Um, I'm roaring.

"... that idea does make sense. I just want to avoid wasting my investment."

"It's just a request now, and it doesn't mean anyone outside knows about it. If you choose not to develop a mine, you won't be fooled."

"You're absolutely right. So, do we dismiss this request?

"No, wouldn't it just be good to expand the city? If we have accommodation for elves from distant villages and more, Tilly Hill could turn from a mining city to a full-fledged trading city in the future."

"I see."

Hans' thoughts shake.

It's good to be able to prepare iron in front of you.

But what happens when the confusion over the Marquis Wallick realm subsides?

If they say so, they question development.

"So, let's consider it, and we'll talk to Baron Olgren again later, shall we?

"Yes, I think that's reasonable."

Isaac writes "Decline" in Tilly Hill Expansion's request.

He also wrote in the addition, "To be considered, consultation with Baron Olgren is mandatory".

Pass the document to Francis.

And then he matches Isaac's plans with Baron Olgren's, and he prepares the opportunity to speak.

"Thank you, Mr. Claude. It's good to hear a good opinion. At least in Tilly Hill, not for humans or elves. I want to do what is good for both humans and elves."

"I'm honestly glad you think so. But it's not friendly for one side to just make concessions. If the village chiefs are to be gathered together and discussed until they are satisfied, we will give way where we can give way too. I don't just want you to think about it, but sometimes I want you to bump your opinions right."

"Okay. Keep it in mind."

Claude left the room after a gentle meeting.

Isaac sees it off with a lonely gaze.

(Oh, he's out...)

Like this one, it's been a long time since I enjoyed discussing important matters.

I feel sorry for Claude for leaving.

Before such Isaac, a new document is placed.

"Okay, next step is to check and sign this document."

"Yes......"

The Lord's work is plain and boring.

All most jobs do is check the documents compiled by the bureaucrats and write a signature acknowledging the documents.

Now I think, so did my father Randolph.

When I first came to the office, I was studying what kind of work bureaucrats do as a study.

I didn't do any flashy work.

That's why you can't just throw this job away.

Though a piece of paper is missing, if Isaac doesn't write his autograph, the job stops.

If the work stalls, the bureaucrats will have to work overtime.

Just knowing the pain of overtime in his previous life, Isaac didn't want to let others work overtime because of him.

Lords surrogate is a responsible and nervous job.

But it's not funny.

But being uninteresting means that nothing has happened.

The fact that there has been no incident means that the territory is stable.

I think it's wonderful that the original objective, the stability of the Marquis of Welrod, has been achieved.

(But I don't know...)

Isaac sat in the lord's chair earlier than expected, but the seat of power was not what he thought.

(I knew you had to be the best)

Hans also tells me to "be king if you want to do what you want".

To do an interesting job, Isaac renews his determination to go for king.
