Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

First of all, it is undecided how to govern Lezard.

I'm in direct jurisdiction, so I only have to reign.

However, the people of Lezard have a strong sense of autonomy.

If you don't get involved in politics to some extent, you will get frustrated.

That said, we can't afford to do autonomy.

Lezad's port is both a military port and the largest in Adernia and the only port in Rosais.

It is necessary to continue to govern as a territory.

What is currently being considered is a rather cumbersome political system in which a parliament is set up and governed indirectly while respecting the parliament.

Regulations and tariffs on goods coming from Lezard require state monitoring.

Similarly, the nation must maintain the navy as a naval port.

However, there is no need for the state to take direct control of everything.

Local people will understand the need for local infrastructure and special laws, etc., rather than centrally dispatched officials.

And I have a policy of promoting local autonomy.

That's because it costs a lot.

Transportation infrastructure such as military and roads, and taxes.

It doesn't matter what the locals do, as long as they can control all three.

Japan's national tax is very low because it is based on local autonomy.

Tens of a tenant, which is a land lease fee, and twenty-one, a sales tax.

In addition, taxation such as inheritance tax.

All in all, taxes are not high.

So if you want to implement or build something like a festival, a special building, or something in the country, you can collect and pay for any head taxes or surcharges as you like.

Well, at present, there is no law to approve it, so local officials dispatched to the site only implement it according to the needs of residents.

I would like Lezard to be a model case of local autonomy in Japan.

The problem here is the establishment of a parliament.

Establishing a parliament is not a matter of building a parliament building.

Establishing a method of electing legislators and defining their powers is the establishment of a parliament.

The powers conferred on Congress have already been determined.

The problem is how to choose.

Rossais's tax is not a fixed rate but a fixed rate.

In other words, the more you earn, the more tax you have to pay.

In other words, the richer you pay more taxes.

That's why the rich think.

"Only wealthy, like us, have suffrage!"

"That's why."

Currently, it is the former Rezad lawmakers who effectively govern Lezad's municipal administration, who are rich.

He therefore pursued political reform with the idea that suffrage would be granted only to those who paid a certain amount of tax.

They tried to change from "the number of votes per person changes depending on the amount of tax paid" to "one who has paid a certain amount of tax has one vote".

Considering the political system of Lezard, it is a great step forward.

However, some second-class citizens repelled this.

Second-class citizens shout.

"We're paying taxes, too."

Of course, second-class citizens do not have land or do business.

Therefore, it is unrelated to land lease fees and sales tax.

However, they are eligible for recruitment.

Blood tax is a respectable tax.

Second-class citizens played a major role in the battle against Pofenia.

Without their help, Lezard would have fallen.

However, first-class citizens cannot tolerate second-class citizens who have not paid even a sensible vote.

Therefore, it seems to be rubbing with Gudaguda.

"But there is no compromise. You can only choose one."

"That's right. But the discussion will not proceed as it is. So, can you decide here with your Majesty's crane's voice?"

"Recognize the suffrage of second-class citizens."

There are more secondary citizens than primary citizens.

Indeed, it may be scary for first-class citizens.

But democracy is like that.

As I said many times, it would be irrelevant to local politics, as long as I could maintain national taxes and conscriptions, and maintain and maintain military-critical facilities.

Well, if you start doing things like freezing first-class citizens' assets and evenly distributing them, I will stop.

"Well, that's because election campaigns cost money. In the end, only rich people can use their right to vote."

So second-class citizens cannot use number violence.

In the first place, second-class citizens will be badly organized.

First-class citizens will continue to have a slightly superior balance.

"Is there anything I have to decide?"

"No, especially"

That's okay.

When Almus and Alexios are discussing the municipal administration of Lezad ...

Ron was in post-war processing on his newly acquired territory.

There are several reasons Ron was entrusted with maintaining the area.

First, the premise was that Almus wanted Ron to gain experience.

But this is the same for Rosword and Gram.

So why Ron was chosen instead of Rosword or Gram?

First, Rosward, he has the role of Commander of the Knights of the Guards.

The role of the Knights' Guard is to protect the king's immediate family and defend the royal capital.

Therefore, we cannot leave our country for a long time.

Next is Gram, who has the task of developing the Romanian Forest.

The Romanian Forest is a strategically important location for the kingdom of Rosais, and the development of this area can only be done by Griffon.

But Gram can't leave.

So is Ron useless?

Not at all. Ron is tasked with cracking down on domestic drugs and eliminating intermediaries.

But Ron has already completed the organization, and there is no reason that the place to issue orders must be in the capital.

It is also possible to contact Almus in a few hours using Hawk Mail.

And above all, the newly invaded area is not penetrated by Ron's organization.

Ron, as Secretary of the Secret Police, has to expand his network into the newly invaded area.

Then let's leave home affairs and defense as well.

It is a judgment.

Ron was given 4000 soldiers by Almus.

It is a consideration that there will be power to make various disposals ( ).

The first thing that Ron, who led the 4,000 soldiers into the former Mieharis House, was to maintain security in his territory.

That is, cleaning bandits and bandits.

After the war, the territory was devastated by fugitive soldiers, causing bandits and others.

In addition, the exploitation of wealth by some ethnic tribes has plagued the commoners, resulting in the running of thieves and in some places very poor security.

"If you surrender, I will forgive you"

"really?"

"True, true. Life saves."

"I surrendered! I will work seriously from now on!"

"Yeah, work. Good morning, Ains."

"Yes, I know. This is good muscle, it seems to sell high. If you sell it as a man prostitute ..."

"Um, didn't he help?"

"Life is helping."

Ron and Ains seem to have made a lot of money.

What we did next was a census.

Understanding population and land surveying.

If you don't clear these two, you can't start.

Because the population was not large in a small area, the census was conducted without tsutsugu.

"Hmm, after all there are many peasants. It is a problem that 80% of ordinary people are peasants."

Ron frowned while reading the report.

King Rossais's military system is a conscription system, where the property determines the department.

Wealthy landlords and merchants who have large lands are cavalry.

Homegrown farmers are heavy infantry.

Peasants and unborn children are light infantry.

Of these, the mainstay of King Rossais is heavy infantry.

In other words, the quality and number of hoplites is directly linked to the military power of King Rosais.

Therefore, the lack of homegrown farming is a major problem.

"And there's a lot of undeveloped land and abandoned farmland. Well, should we recruit immigrants ... Well, first of all ..."

Ron issued the above decree.

The land of the landowner is confiscated and given to the peasants free of charge.

Tax-free for one year, then 10% rent will be collected.

-Tax collection is carried out by the system of King Rossais.

The landlords who have suffered the great blows have so far united with the royals and exploited their wealth.

Land was greatly reduced by the distribution of land.

And they have lost their vested interests, so far as a tax collector, they can afford some of their taxes.

Some rebellions are about to occur, but Ron is the Ron of intelligence.

All were arrested and punished beforehand.

"Ron Aemilius-sama!

"Hello new lord!"

"get married!!"

"What a lovely guy ... the crotch swells just by looking at his profile."

The success of Ron's take-off policy was successful, and the newly acquired area was quickly incorporated into the kingdom of Rossais.

There will be no worries about the peasant revolt for the foreseeable future.

"I mean, I'm not a new lord ... but I'll be back after a year of governing."

"Good, new lord. It's cool."

So Young praise Ron.

Unlike the capital, the two people are more flirty than usual because they have few eyes of acquaintances.

It seems that the day when children can be born is also early.

"Well ... next time we have to renovate the building."

The former Mieharis House will be renovated to serve as a fortress to serve as a base for the western conquest.

Ron's work is also in charge of rehabilitation.

"What about the workforce?"

"I hire a commoner, I get money from the leaders."

Despite the loss of taxes, it doesn't mean that living will improve immediately.

I have to wait for the harvest.

There are many poor people in this area who are in desperate need to be enslaved.

It's two birds with one stone, protecting them and turning them into labor.

When Ron proclaimed extensively, many commoners sent his second son and third son to him.

Ron ordered them to renovate the palace, upgrade roads and bridges, and install flood control irrigation equipment.

The reward is bronze.

This is to make the money economy permeate as soon as possible.

"No, I can't say anything but I'm a good governor. I just imitated what the leaders were doing."

"As expected, Ron!"
