Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Well ..."

When immersed in hot water, the body feels warm from the core.

The color of the hot water is cloudy.

I have heard that you can expect a beautiful skin effect.

The only complaint is the smell of rotten eggs.

There is no help for it because it is sulfur spring.

"No, I wanted to go once."

"Because I was busy in various ways."

Yulia says, tangling in my right hand.

Feel rich and soft feel.

I knew the existence of the hot spring itself.

Well, if there is sulfur, which is a material for black powder, there will be hot springs.

As expected, I found out immediately after various investigations.

But unfortunately, Adernians don't seem to have much habit of entering the hot spring.

To be precise, should we say that we don't have the habit of traveling and soaking in hot springs?

Local residents seem to be frequent.

Well, few people like to go to the hot spring tens of kilometers away on the Adernia Peninsula where the means of transportation is basic, and soak.

Because there are few people trying to dig hot springs because they are busy with agriculture, the number is small.

"If you look for sulfur springs, there will be many other types. There may be hot springs unique to this world. Yeah, good."

When the Adernia Peninsula is unified, dig into the ground.

"I would like to enter every day if possible.

Tetra says while tangling around my left arm. Although not as good as Yulia, I feel a firm elasticity. I personally like the feel here.

What can I do, what do I do?

"Carriage by carriage"

"The cost won't be stupid"

"Because you're a king, this luxury is justified. Did tax revenues rise much more than when you were the first king?"

After the civil war, the royal territory doubled.

The territory of the royal family who rebelled against the territory of As and Diber in the original territory, and the territory taken from the kingdom of Demorgarh.

And buying and selling garnet.

Not surprisingly, not all of the territories were given to the tribes who followed me, but they all increased.

Boros gave the land around the Terrier Fortress.

It is a major link between the old and new territories, but Boros will be able to protect it.

It is Bartolo who got lost.

Of course, Bartolo also has to increase ... but his ability is too high.

After a lot of trouble, she was sealed on a new territory.

There should be no complaints because the territory has increased 1.5 times.

Bartolo's abilities can prevent the king of Demorgar.

Ron Rosward Gram sealed them near their territory.

I want them to continue working as my limbs in the palace.

So the three will not live in the territory directly.

The worst thing was the relatives of the royal family of Rosais ... Rymond and others.

In particular, Lymond owns one of the three salt mines in our country.

In spite of that, instead of increasing the number three times, he suggested a seal, but was refused with a smile. Of course.

It's more dangerous to forcibly seal up and worsen the relationship, so I added a little more.

"I would like to cut off the power of the royal family if possible."

"Yes ... if I can do that ..."

Tetra goes with my mutter.

It is clear that the royal family has hindered the smooth running of the state.

This is not a question of good or bad politics.

The existence itself is extremely inefficient.

You have to get their consent when you're in a war, and be careful not to switch to another country.

It is not uncommon for a royal family to turn over their territory.

"But centralization is a lot going on. I don't think we have to worry about local Australians."

Thanks to the gaudiness of the last civil war, no tribe has rebelled head on.

It has also succeeded in returning the land's influence to pure white by means of sealing.

The problem is……

"A central royal family centered on Raymond ..."

Tetra murmurs.

The Central Australians are my ally, and they have the same policy of removing local Australians.

They want to strengthen the power of the Rosais family.

And their territory is small.

However, because it has territories around and inside the territories, it has a very strong influence on the center.

And it's the Lymonds who made me king.

I am in a position to respect them.

In the first place, Raymond chose me as king because I don't have a good relative.

The Ass family is my relative, but not close. I have a vassal of music, but at most thirty.

Therefore, in order to run the country, you must rely on the Losais family.

He set me up so that we would not be despised.

I didn't care about my abilities.

If I'm incompetent, it's just a puppet.

Unlike Regal, the only relatives you can rely on are the Losaiths, so it would be easy.

I want to reconcile interests well. The idea of reducing the power of the royal family and promoting centralization should be the same.

"By the way, is the unification of the Adernia penalty serious?"

"Oh, I'm serious. I wanted to be able to do it for a long time.

Conflict in the Adernia Peninsula is constant because it is not integrated.

Once you put them together and make the groundwork, it won't split so easily.

"Where do you attack first?"

"It depends on the situation. Let's start by improving our national power."

Everything is fundamental.

Buildings where the piles are not properly driven into the basement will tilt.

"Oh, a little ..."

I hug Yulia. Crawl your tongue on your neck while rubbing your purple hair.

"The next Prince has to decide firmly."

The question of the right to succeed the throne.

That is the biggest problem associated with a monarchy.

We've seen many of these problems besides the kingdom of Rossais, and we know a lot in history.

If you set up a prince, you will calm down, but if you are crossed by that position, you will be a dark prince.

If you do not decide on the contrary, it will be drastic.

If the king could not nominate the next king before he died, of course, even if he nominated, the vassals who heard the will lied or criticized that they were lying and the other princes took the throne in a civil war Happens.

"Almus ... the prince may be the son of Julia. That would not destroy the country."

"I see ... thank you"

Licking his ears in return, Tetra shook his body.

Listen while tracing your white back with your finger.

"Isn't it better to decide on the Prince while knowing that Dark will take the throne?"

"Hmm ... every system has its drawbacks. I think that is the next best. Even if the king is an kun, he needs a system to run the country as such."

That's right ... that's the best.

The bureaucracy I would recommend is the best considering that ...

A bureaucracy that doesn't rot is like cheese that doesn't rot.

Well, it's better if the meat is a little rotten.

It is necessary to create a bureaucratic surveillance system.

Should I think about that at last?

At present, there are too few bureaucrats to corrupt.

"What kind of policy does Alums do for domestic politics? You said you would strip down the power of the royal family, but how exactly is it?"

Julia asked me to push my chest.

Julia's chest is pressed against my chest.

"Yes ... I want to be able to collect taxes directly from all lands. There are no exceptions, even from royal private land. I guess it's time to empower ordinary people ..."

"To the commoners?"

Tetra looks suspicious.

"Yes. As an opposition to the royal family. Well, it will go on its own. It will be influenced by the widespread agriculture and the monetary economy. It will also be strongly influenced by the Christians?"

"... I'm sure you'll definitely seek suffrage in the future, right?"

"Yes ..."

When it gets rich, nature and interests turn to politics.

But there is no way to prevent it. If I unify the Adernia Peninsula.

Repeated recruitment of the commoners naturally increases their voice. At the core of the army are the ordinary heavy infantry.

The more territories, the more self-produced, the more slaves, the cheaper, and the average can reach.

If you try to prevent it poorly, the point of dissatisfaction will come here.

If the monetary economy spreads, the democratic ideas of the Christians would spread along with it.

If I deepen my relationship with the Christians and modernize the country, sooner or later democracy will spread to the commoners throughout the country.

So do you disfellow the Christians?

Doing so will unify the Adernia Peninsula. No, it will be impossible.

I have no choice but to accept.

Rather, it should be used again.

But that's a long way off.

I can't help arguing now.

It's just a matter of calming down and thinking at that time.

I don't want to end the monarchy.

After all, I want my children to inherit what they have built.

In the first place, democracy requires education for all people.

I don't talk on the Adernia Peninsula where few people can write.

In the first place, the reason why the Christians can achieve democracy is that they are divided into city states.

Because one administrative unit is small, politics is formed by democracy.

The northern part of the Adernia Peninsula… north of the land of King Rossais is completely transformed into a territorial state.

In fact, even the Christians, who have a much higher civilization than the Adernians, have fallen into fool politics and have tyrants.

It is not suitable for the administrative system of the unified state of Adernia that I aim for.

After all, all ancient democracies in history have fallen into monarchy.

In short, monarchy is the most suitable system in the ancient and medieval times, where ideas and science and technology are underdeveloped and religion is strong.

Still, somebody says, "Democracy is the worst, but it's better than the political system we've tried so far."

And what spreads is what spreads.

You'll need to find a way around that.

I have to put it in one corner of my head.

"I have a difficult face. Yeah!"

Julia gets watered and I'm surprised.

He seems to have been absorbed in thinking a little.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry .... I'm getting better now, will you go up?"

"N, let's do it."

We got out of the hot spring.

The next will come.
