Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"It's safe, it's over ... Rymond"

"What a great deal, Your Majesty. I can't be careful yet ..."

Four months after the second conquest of the southern part, the reversion of the print registration took place.

The content of this edict is annotated, very long and confusing ...

In summary, return the local people to the king.

And each nobleman controls the king's land as a nobleman.

Dominate the land as before.

In other words, only the nominal thing has changed ...

It may sound like this, but there is one decisive point.

It is a force.

Until now, the royal family have taken part in their wars, bringing their local people.

Had great military power.

It has disappeared.

In other words, it was virtually impossible for the nobles to revolt.

Well, my centripetal rise has made it impossible for the tribes to revolt without passing this law.

The law was decided to be smoother than originally expected.

He successfully tricked the tribes.

The tribes said, "The commoners hate being ruled. Your identity and vested interests are in jeopardy. Fortunately, the commoners recognize my authority. So I will replace you with you. Let's relieve this territory in the form. "

The tribes believed that this was a new form of relief and obediently relinquished their registration.

In fact, there is one side.

He acknowledges heritage and guarantees control as before.

I think that he was so deceived because he was worried about the tribe.

Something is different about the average people these days.

The king's power and authority continue to rise.

Isn't our country losing our place? At all.

So I guaranteed a new office and status.

They accepted it with peace of mind.

In fact, if you refuse to do so, you will no longer have the place of the royal family.

"Subject rights" are the rights of the king's subjects.

In other words, the ordinary people who receive it become servants of the king's direct report.

Unless the royal family relinquishes their print registration, the commoners of the land will not be able to obtain the "sovereignty."

I was disappointed by me as a king, and I was hurt by the commoners.

It's hard for middle managers.

Nevertheless, this allows us to issue provincial rights.

This right of civil rights is packed with various rights, including tax freedom and military service obligations, including freedom of movement, property security, and the right to trial.

Things that were up to now are shown as rights by law.

It can be said that we have finally become a modern nation (in this world).

"Well, next is the enactment of the law ... how far is it?"

I asked Rymond while drinking tea.

The tea that Merlin brought.

The taste is similar to Japanese tea. Thank you for bringing this as a souvenir.

"Finally, we have just dug out our customary law, because there are no letters in Adernian ... I asked around for a few remaining Greek references and long-lived elderly people."

There are two types of laws: written law and unwritten law.

The law of the Adernia Peninsula is based on ungrammar.

Because there is no letter, it is natural.

So it is a tedious effort to dig up this.

Well, all of it was pressed against Raymond.

"Let's proceed with the enactment while also referring to the laws of the Christian city states such as Lezard .... I can't prolong it too much. If possible, I want to end it within three months."

Unless the codification of the law ends, the civil rights will not work.

We can't let the commoners wait for too long.

"Oh, there's something I need to do at the same time ..."

"Is it a colonial city?"

I nod.

Newly acquired occupied territories and rebelled areas are still volatile.

Permanent troops are the best way to stabilize this area, but it is not realistic due to cost and dissatisfaction with the occupied territories.

So, we talked about the construction of a colonial city.

In short, immigration.

Generally, farmland is inherited by the firstborn child.

This is because split inheritance breaks down the land, eventually resulting in a state of the clan's total poor.

So the second and third sons are kicked out of the house.

They have to tell other houses as adoptive sons, become peasants, or open up new farmland.

My idea is to have them colonize unstable areas.

It is both an economic policy and a military policy.

Farmers are equal soldiers.

The problem is where to colonize ...

There is a site of the burned down city.

Residents who have burned down the city have fled as refugees, worked as peasants in the inner lands (directly controlled by the royal family), and have been embarked on the development of the Romanian forest.

In other words, there is plenty of space to build a city, and the whole farmland they had plowed.

Agricultural land is quickly destroyed when left alone, but it has not been a year.

In such a long period, a little tillage should recover.

"Since the freedom of movement has been fully approved by this civil rights, I think that if you call for recruitment, you will come together as soon as possible.

"Hm ... yeah, let's go ahead."

"Sorry. Don't struggle."

"What are you talking about, aren't your Majesty sleeping recently?"

"Haha ... well ..."

Huh ...

Lezad is a commercial nation that is self-governing by merchants.

Therefore, in Lezard, gold means something.

There are three layers in the leather.

First-class citizen, second-class citizen, slave.

First-class citizens pay huge cap taxes once a month.

The population is 20,000.

In Lezard, "citizen" refers to this first-class citizen.

Instead of having heavy duties such as enormous head taxes and extraordinary taxation in case of emergency, he has various rights such as suffrage, protection of law, and private property rights.

The number of votes that can be voted depends on the tax payment amount.

Big merchants have their parliamentary members elected by taxes they pay, and their relatives and subordinates can also be elected.

In response, small and medium-sized merchants unite and send their representatives to Congress.

Lezad's history is a fight between big and small merchants.

Second-class citizens, on the other hand, are those who do not pay taxes.

To be precise, they are people who cannot pay heavy cap taxes.

The number is 80,000.

Many of them live in unsanitary areas lined with poor buildings.

They have no suffrage and limited protection of the law.

If you commit a crime, you will be enslaved.

There are hierarchies among second-class citizens.

Those who have a home to live in and those who do not even have a home.

Those who are not troubled with food and those who cannot eat even a piece of bread.

Those who can not pay the head tax (...) and those who do not (...)

Those who serve first-class citizens and who are enraged by first-class citizens.

That is why they do not unite and rebel against first-class citizens.

In the first place, if you defeat first-class citizens, their jobs will be lost.

It is first-class citizens who hire and work with second-class citizens.

At that time, a major political struggle had begun.

"The cause of this war was that you supported weapons and supplies in the background !!!! If you did nothing, there would be no rebellion and no stimulus for King Almus!"

Ains shouts like that.

Large merchant ... A member of the so-called pro-Rosaic school.

Only the big merchants, especially Ains, have been involved in the distribution of paper, sake and salt in the kingdom of Rossais.

Therefore, large merchants are often pro-Rosaic.

"What to say! Can you silently overlook your brother being oppressed? Have you sold your soul to King Almus! That king was originally ambitious! It doesn't matter!"

It is the small and medium-sized merchants who argue so.

Incapable of participating in the economy centered on the kingdom of Rossais, they hate large merchants who occupy a single profit.

Therefore, he takes the position of anti-Rosais.

"If so, it shouldn't have been even more exciting! What a fool who steps on the sleeping griffon's tail says!"

"You may have made a kitten a griffon!"

In other words, this political struggle is a push of responsibility.

Who is responsible for Lezard's international decline? I'm talking about.

"Such a savage king should be cut off from the nation!"

"What to say! Now under Persian and Pofenian sea control, the distribution of salt and the trading of paper and spirits on the Adernia Peninsula is our lifeline!

At present, Lezad is in a very disadvantageous position.

Originally, there was an agreement between the Christians to keep them from interfering with trade.

This allowed Lezard to do business freely, but ...

The homeland of Greece has been defeated by Persis.

The Tethys Sea is now dominated by Persis and Pofenia.

If you don't have an escort ship, you can be sunk by the Navy of Persis or Pofenia, posing as a pirate.

As a result, transportation costs jumped and hindered trade.

"Such a thing !!!! If this is the case, our country will be invaded !!!!! You must resist now!"

"What do you say ?! Do you know what Japan is doing now? Pofenia is gradually expanding its control from the south. You cannot create enemies in both the north and the south! ! "

To the south of the Adernia Peninsula lies a city-state called the Republic of Pofenia, across Triskelía.

The country has recently been expanding its power on Trisiceria.

If Pofenia unifies the whole of Trisiceria, it is synonymous with building a bridge to Lezard.

That alone must be avoided.

"You are responsible!"

"No! You guys!"

In the end, no conclusion was reached on this day.

"Hey, Alexios. Which one do you think will win? Pro-Rosaisians and anti-Rosaisians"

Melia put the child to sleep and asked Alexios.

Alexios closes the law and answers her wife's question.

"It's pro-Rosaisians, they're better off in terms of financial strength, parliamentary seats, but ..."

"What's wrong?"

"If you include first-class and second-class citizens other than legislators, you will be overwhelmingly anti-Rosaic."

Alexios shrugged.

"If you're going to fight in a straightforward way, politics will definitely win the pro-Rosais, but if the anti-Rosaisians go hard, that's another story."

"What if the pro-Rosaisians win and oust the anti-Rosaisians?"

"At that time King Almus would get the most."

"So what is the opposite?"

"I still think King Almus is pleased to have a cause."

Alexios smiled and smiled.

"Either way, King Almus can only gain. Lezard is only split by King Almus. Haha ... why there is no unity in a republic."

Alexios looks southwards.

A country of their birthplace, a country of intense political struggle and always pulling each other's feet ...
