Conferencing
Now, three days passed in a short time, and as promised, Moneda knocked on the gate. With that said, I will now hold the first conference. First of all, I have to reveal my plan for them to understand.
“Everyone, thank you for gathering here today. The first meeting will start now. ”
Even though I said that, the people present were people I could trust ... In other words, the people I went with during the checkup, Moneda, Sebastian, and Sei were also one of the children I brought home when I was young, and he's now helping Sebastian with home management.
“... First of all, I want to express my ideas.for one month, I have checked our territory and have confirmed things with Sebastian. ”
This is really happening. From the Royal City, all roads leading to our region have spring weather year-round. Thus, the agricultural industry in the southern part of the region prospers, and as it also faces the sea, the, trading can be done. It would not be wrong to call this region the capital of both Kingdoms.
"When I went to inspect the territory, my impression of it was ... Similar to ripe fruit. Although it is fine to eat it now, if we wait any longer, it will eventually rot. That's what I was thinking. ”
I guess they didn't expect me to have this kind of impression as they continued to blink their eyes in confusion. Especially Sebastian and Sei.
“... The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. And as stores lack new commodities, the air becomes stagnant. ”
for someone like me, who used to live in a capitalist country like Japan, I belong to a pro-competitive class of society, so I believe that it cannot help wealth to accumulate to some extent. However, this region was different.to begin with, it was impossible to display competitiveness.
As long as they remained unskilled, there would never be a chance for them to ascend.
"If the people living in the region were not rich, the region would never be rich."
That is how it works.When the market is limited, it will eventually collapse. In other words, if we do not actively participate in the prosperity of the people, with the current economic flows, our territory will decay.
"In other words ... Simply put, I want to create a region where children don't have to go through the things you've experienced in the past."
Seeming certain, everyone nodded in agreement while smiling.
“This is our aspiration to achieve big goals. It took a hundred years before the region developed into something comparable to our goals, and the first thing we had to do was improve the quality of life of the people. Therefore, for this to happen, we need to push forward with reforms. First of all, I want to leverage the funds currently held by Ducal House to help manage the region. After that, establish a bank, centralize government affairs, reform the taxation system, maintenance of roads, compulsory education ... ”
“... U-ummmc. What exactly is a bank? ”
while I was talking, Sei interrupted me and asked timidly.
“Ah, forgive me. Because I was too engrossed, I managed to overcome myself. Regarding the bank, my intention is to let Sebastian, Sei, and Moneda handle that. I'll talk a little bit about it later. … However, banks will not be realized unless we first help people achieve well-being and reform the taxation system here in our region. ”
"In other words, you want to use the taxes collected from the people to manage the territory, and raise money from other places to maintain the Ducal House?"
"That's right, Moneda."
"Specifically, what do you want to do?"
"For starters, launch a business."
When I said that, the atmosphere of the conference froze for a moment .
