Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Upon returning, Bartolo brought in a victory report.

We sent the captured Allied Commander as messenger to urge him to surrender.

Perhaps the last hope was destroyed by the collapse of reinforcements?

Or did he realize that the fall would be inevitable?

Two days later, the city-state, the center of the rebellion, accepted the surrender.

With the surrender of the central city, both the city that turned the flag and the city that showed neutrality all told me that I pledged allegiance.

Following Bartolo's way, all cities burned.

The bright red flame will burn into the hearts of the Christian Aderns.

You know what it means to go against me.

Hopefully this will stop the revolt again.

In any case, the rebellion ended early.

"Well, the rebellion is over, but the problem is not over."

There are five issues that need to be resolved immediately.

One is the strike that is taking place in Japan.

Second, the distribution of loot obtained from looting.

Third, the treatment of the Christian Adernians who lost their cities.

Four, treatment of revolting cities.

Fifth, the treatment of Christian cities that sent reinforcements in support of the rebellion, and the Christian merchants who supported this behind the scenes.

"Let's start with Raymond."

"Is it necessary to do it at the same time? It is a problem that can not be postponed."

That's right ...

Despite the differences in priorities, is there still any difference in the need to resolve them urgently?

"First, Bartolo. You have to sort out the loot. The bureaucrats say they like it. Make a ledger and calculate the value."

"... I understand. Well ... I'm not good at numbers."

If the distribution of loot is not done fairly, soldiers will complain.

Injured soldiers and warriors need extra security.

Most of the war is due to Bartolo.

Bartolo should know who and how much worked.

next……

"Lon, Gram. I'm telling you to dispose of the exiles of the Christian Aderns. Distribute them all over the country so that they don't clump together. They can be used for reclamation and clearing."

"Yes! I understand. I'll use it in the Romanian forest."

"Hmm, it's better to place it in the north as much as possible. In the south, there is a lot of activity from the Greek merchants ..."

Gram and Ron nodded vigorously.

Gram is in charge of development, and Ron is in charge of maintaining national security.

This issue must be handled with care.

A lump could revolt again.

Conversely, if you scatter and provide land for plowing, you will not have time to think about rebellion.

If they are two, they will make a good difference.

"Iar, order you to prepare for peace negotiations with the cities that supported this rebellion. Come ahead, but you can leave full-scale negotiations later."

"I see. Your Majesty. Let's cooperate with the pro-Rosais and come to denounce them."

Diplomatic negotiations are Ial.

This is not obvious.

And I ...

"The treatment of strike and revolt cities will be managed by me and Raymond."

"Your Majesty, as ordered, ordered a city to bring representatives to the royal capital a week later ... Is it better to sink the strike?"

"No, as long as peace with the cities of the Greeks has not been finalized, we need to wedge in early. I can't say anything long."

Nevertheless, it would burn the appearance of Japanese farmers refusing to serve in the eyes of representatives of each city.

This must be resolved before they arrive.

"How far is your Majesty going to take their demands?"

"Well, not everything."

Basically, most farmers do not want more than the legal culture.

But some hardliners have called for their participation in politics.

"Even if we acknowledge the existence of the People's Association in the first place, it does not seem to work properly. It is impossible in Japan as a territorial state, such as direct democracy, and representative democracy also costs money."

Democracy costs money.

It would be fine if the state was completed in one small city, but Japan graduated from the city state a long time ago.

Not realistic.

"They will never fall unless the legal culture is done. In addition, take the lead and include the security of private property and the criminal equality of royalty, royals, and commoners."

In less than a few years, the claimant will come out.

Then take the first move.

It's a reform from above.

"Is this also the trend? ... I couldn't imagine the royal family, the royal family, and the commoners a few decades ago, even though they were criminally punishable .... and one suggestion from me."

"What?"

"What about creating opportunities for the commoners to say their opinions? The strikes are caused by the fact that otherwise we would not hear our requests. But we too have taken such actions I have to take a hard-line position.

So that's it.

Certainly the strike will never happen again.

It is not good for security if you have a strike.

It's a good idea to prevent it permanently.

"Is it easy to set it up in a guide box anyway? It's easy."

Just put a box.

No cost or effort required, you can do it right away.

After that ... I'll have to spend time building the system.

"If we decide, we will talk quickly. Let's talk to the representatives of the commoners immediately."

The discussion between me, the ruler, and the ruler, the commoner, took place in the temple.

Basically, temples are forbidden to bring weapons, and blood is justified.

It's a safe place to talk to each other.

"Please tell us your story first. What do you want from me? If there is a difference in what people are looking for, there is no corresponding specification here."

I first urged the representatives of the commoners to make a request.

The commoners are not monolithic.

Individuals are moving on their own.

The representatives of the commoners here are relatively large and moderate.

"We are looking for two: one is the culture of the law, the monopoly of the royal family and the royal family violates our lives and property, and the other is the cancellation of debt. Many ordinary people are suffering from debt as a result of the war. ''

He asks me to rub his forehead against the ground.

From his appearance, he felt that he was thinking purely of the whole people, not his own wealth or fame.

And the answer is already decided.

"I see. I understand. I understand that the culture of the law will begin as soon as possible. The inviolability of private property and the criminal equality should be clearly specified. Let's try not to be "

Good so far.

But debt cancellation ...

"Cancellation of debts is not allowed. You must return what you borrowed from the person. However, improper payment of interest is against the law. You do not have to pay interest and you will be refunded to those who receive interest. I'll tell you.

In fact, taking interest in Japan is prohibited by national law.

It is unearned income that produces money with money. Because there is an idea.

Unearned income is forbidden for bad morals.

However, the actual place was openly performed.

I would have paid Ains interest on debt, and many of the royalties would have paid interest on money lenders or demanded interest from ordinary people on the territory.

It's a bit unhealthy.

I want to take this opportunity to get rid of it.

Ask the money lenders to cry and fall asleep.

However, there is no one who can lend money to Japan.

So, as soon as state politics calms down, we will issue a law that recognizes interest and interest.

Within about 10%, the drill is good and would be just right.

"I'll set up a guide box and other places in the country. In the future, if I have an opinion, let's write to the guide box."

Study the letters yourself.

I'm not too free to listen to people who can't read and write.

"That's true, your Majesty!"

The representative of the commoner looked up happily.

Its eyes are shining.

The cancellation of the debt was useless, and the guide box would have been unexpected.

"But there are conditions"

I looked down on the representative.

"Military service is the duty of the people. This duty must be equally imposed on the royal family, the royal family, and the commoners. If they refuse military service in the future, they will be considered rebels and will be punished thoroughly."

I told the representative unilaterally.

The representative's face turns blue.

You may have reminded me of the attitude of the recent revolt of the Christian Adernians.

Here comes the desired effect of a severe attitude on the rebellion.

"I know, I'll never do this again."

"It's not what you swear. It's what the people swear."

I unilaterally told and went outside the temple.

Facing the commoners surrounding the temple.

"I understand your demands well. We will promulgate the rights of citizenship as soon as we are ready. The property and life of those who have obtained my rights of citizenship will be protected by law. Is criminally and equally punished, unlawful interests and interests are not allowed, debt slavery is prohibited, instead subject to military service and tax obligations and loyalty to me. Engrave and install everywhere in the country. ''

My word was a louder sound of magic, which echoed around the temple.

The crowd calmed down for a moment.

After that, a loud cheer came up.

Three days have passed since my declaration of citizenship.

Many of the commoners disarmed and stopped the strike.

This is because I demanded military service and tax payment in exchange for the demands of the law.

Obviously, the duties that existed as a matter of course for many ordinary people are just codified.

Rather, the obligations are stopped and the rights are clearly specified.

The point of strike no longer exists.

"But your Majesty still has an interesting idea, what is citizenship ... I've heard of citizenship, but never of citizenship."

"Well, the content is not much different from citizenship."

It is an idea based on the concept of the Imperial Japanese Empire and the concept of citizenship in this world.

Rights are not natural.

It is given by the king.

Plant this concept in this country.

And we show it with a certain thing called citizenship.

Doing so ensures that the commoner rules.

"First of all, we have to think about the specifics of the subject rights, what to do with foreigners in the country, and those who have rejected them."

But it's good to put it off later.

before that……

"I have to judge the rebels."
