Industrial revolution starting with the undead

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry..."

"Oh......"

Ha, and naturally, the sigh leaked out of my mouth.

Eventually, after a while, the village chief finally recognized me and said, "Ha, lord!?" He reacted. And as a result of explaining that the horse made of bones was made by me by witchcraft, and that I came to visit this village, I have apologized.

I'm not going to make it look great, but I just don't feel good if they yell at me as a monster.

"So, Lord, what the hell..."

"Oh. Again, Jin Fleetberg, who became Lord of Fleetberg territory, including this village. This time, I've been meaning to talk to you a little bit."

"Yes. My name is Elysio, the village chief."

"Nice to meet you. Well, I'd like to ask you a few questions..."

I'm in the village conference room.

When something happens, it seems to be a place where all the villagers can get together, and it's quite wide. It's a big table there, opposite the Elysio Village Chief. Let Chris sit next to you.

Courtesy, the old woman, who would be the wife of Elysio Village Chief, offered me a cup of "coarse tea..." It seems that being able to serve tea is at least not more difficult than at home.

Chris, who took a sip, said, "Yum, yum". Let's behave a little better.

"From what I've seen, it looks like only the old man..."

"Yes, as I explained in Parliament, there are only old people in this village. Previously, some young people died, mostly attacked by bandits. Young daughters are taken away by bandits, who remain the comforters of the bandits, sold off by slave traders, etc..."

……

I see, if you do become a bandit opponent, a young man will take the initiative to fight.

And from the bandits, grabbing young daughters is double tasty. We treat ourselves as our own comforters, and if we get tired of it, we sell them to slave traders - although it's a bad chest shit fact just to imagine.

As a result, there are only old people left in the village. Is that the reality of this village?

"There are no youths, so there are many fallow lands. To harvest, to cultivate, I really don't have enough hands with all the old people... To be honest, I don't think we have enough to eat, even with your lord amnesty and 30% exemption from taxes..."

"Hmm..."

"With the amnesty granted, it would be nice to say even more... Please, have another thought about taxes..."

"Oh. I grasped the condition of the village. On top of that, I have a suggestion."

Phew, and a small sigh.

As for the situation, it's perfect. There are no young people, there is not enough labour, and paying taxes doesn't even spare starvation - in such a situation, you will definitely get on with my proposal.

Plus, a vain word there.

"Just a little bit, I want to do some experiments in this village. If the village chief will accept it, I will grant him a further amnesty for this village's taxes. 60% exemption, it doesn't matter the usual 40%"

"Oh my...!

"More bandits are spreading in the land than they were, partly because my father's policing was not extended. Let me apologize on my behalf... I'm sorry."

"Oh my lord...!

Towards the Elysio Village Manager, bow your head.

I think my father also worked desperately hard against policing. If you look at the paperwork in the office, you can see that.

But we were overwhelmingly short of troops, time and money. It would have been a heartfelt thought, with no money to hire soldiers to crusade the bandits, no time to squirt the money, no dispatch the soldiers we are hiring now.

That's why I'm saving this village.

"In Congress, I told you. Let the fallow land be reduced to its current half."

"But such a workforce..."

"This time, I'm bringing him in. Mayor, come with me."

"Ha ha..."

Stand up and take the village chief out of the conference room too.

Chris stood up as well and followed behind with the same expression of unseen emotion. Are you just a little bored, or are you biting off the stretch?

I guess I won't say anything because I know the status quo shouldn't be talking. She is a wise daughter.

And outside the conference room - what you have there is my carriage pulled by two skeleton hoses.

"My lord...?

"As I said earlier, it's a year. I want you to follow me for a year."

"I don't mind that..."

"Try working these guys in this village for a year"

Pan, and play your finger.

Coming out of the front of the carriage with it are the skeletons of the five bodies - my skeletons. He comes out shaking only the body of the calf and the bone. Besides, Elysio Village Manager is stunned for a moment with "Hi-!".

The five skeletons got out of the carriage in turn, and aligned themselves in front of me.

"I made it out of sorcery, it's a skeleton soldier. You'll look a little scared, but follow orders faithfully"

"What... so, it's okay, is it...?

"Gentlemen, from now on, follow the instructions of this Elysio village chief. And let us develop this village."

The skeletons moved his jaw over him, then he knelt down.

The end of that head is not for me, but for Mayor Elysio.

"Doh, what...?

"These skeletons obey orders. At the top of their chain of command, Elysio Mayor is registered. Basically, think of it as a workforce that moves according to orders."

"So, but..."

"Except I'm the only one at the top of the order. Even if this village used skeletons to rebel against me, skeletons obey my orders. Don't think strange."

"Oh, that's never happening!

I can see Elysio Village Chief fighting as he alternates between me and Skeleton.

If they suddenly hand over the skeleton as a labor force, such a reaction would be natural.

But Mayor Elisio slowly approached Skeleton to avoid putting his fears on the table any further.

"Ha... ha. So, you will obey my orders...?

Nodding, rattling skeletons.

For some reason, the cow skeleton was ringing "Mo," but the human skeleton doesn't seem to have the ability to speak out. Instead, they seem to rattle bones with catfish when they want to claim something. I don't know why.

For some time afterwards, it was found out from the Elysio village chief that Skeleton would give the order and follow it without any problems.

When he ordered the desolate fallow land to be cultivated, and let it hold a bamboo, he waved the bamboo vigorously and began to cultivate it. All five of them moved as if they were in a mirror.

Watching how it went, Elysio Village Manager seemed happy. Just when you welcome a new workforce.

"If there's any inconvenience, or if the skeleton stops moving, send me an early horse."

"Yes. I understand. Thank you very much, Lord."

"And then..."

Open the front carriage and skeleton further out from inside.

Most of all, it's not what people look like, it's a cow skeleton. It is them who were squealing "Mo" in vain at home.

Honestly, I had no idea what to do, so I'll give it to you here at last. Unfortunately, there were only three of them on this carriage.

"These guys, use them, too. For once, I obey orders."

"Is this... a cow, is it?

"Oh. I didn't know a cow would help..."

"Oh, my God! I didn't know you could even have a cow!

"I think... Huh?

The village chief's reaction was full of joy for some reason.

Cattle skeletons are of no use...

"If we have one cow, we will be free from the carriage too! You can comb the fields with beef fillets, or you can make progress opening them!

"Oh, really...?

"My lord! Thank you so much!

"Oh, oh..."

Yeah, well.

Though I put it out with the intention of pushing something I don't completely need.

If they're happy over there, well, let's be good.
