68 – Episode 68 Dreaming of Heaven
City Plain.
Isak was recommended as city manager.
The reply arrived today.
“Did Harper come in person?”
Harper.
When he was young, he was his father’s friend,
Now, I am my father’s dependable servant.
Currently a 5th circle master, he is expected to break the 6th circle barrier.
One of the main forces of Frontier.
“The lord has entrusted me with something special. Please take this first.”
The paper included the appointment of Isaac as Plain city manager.
“Thank you. That is a good news.”
If this happens, the plane can be developed in earnest.
Accepting wanderers,
There are plans to build a large farm nearby.
“May I ask you a few questions, Lord Su?”
“Of course. “Please speak.”
His questions focused on Brilda’s death.
This is probably why he came.
After the story is over,
Harper stood up.
His expression is confusing.
It seemed like he believed what I said, and sometimes he didn’t.
“What do you think of what I said, Mr. Harper?”
Harper grinned.
“We will have to find out about that from now on. “My mission is to report the clear truth to the lord.”
I left the room and saw Harper off.
Before leaving, I asked one question.
“Where are you going from now on?”
“First, I plan to look from the basement below.”
Break up with him,
I called Isaac.
He was appointed city manager,
It is time to start full-scale development.
The prepared slave was brought to the plain.
Materials needed for construction were also transported.
First, we plan to create six satellite cities centered on the city plane.
The surrounding plains are so wide,
It was for farming efficiency.
If you build satellite cities in various places, the travel distance can be reduced.
There will also be a population dispersion effect.
While creating a satellite city,
Agricultural land reclamation also began.
I also moved with them and eliminated demon energy.
Removal of demon energy (Lv 7)
Skills are specialized,
The level has also risen.
Even so, it will take a long time.
Because the land that needed to be cultivated was so large.
Concentrating on reclamation,
A habit has developed.
When recovering mana,
I climbed the castle wall and looked around.
Then, I could see things changing day by day.
The foundation of the satellite city has been laid.
The amount of reclaimed land around has increased.
A new city plan is underway,
Vagabonds also came in large numbers.
We erected a temporary tent,
They were put into land reclamation.
.
.
City Plain.
Central government office.
“To date, more than 2,000 wanderers have arrived. Existing slaves were used to build cities, and land cultivation was left to wandering people.”
“Are there enough places to stay?”
“We have set up a temporary tent. “We plan to move it as soon as the city is completed.”
Because it was such a large-scale construction project, nomads were received even before the city was completed.
If you put them in,
This is because the speed of city construction and land reclamation is accelerating.
“What are your complaints?”
“There are no particular complaints as they are accustomed to living outside.”
“Keep going like this. “Be careful not to cause security issues.”
“I understand.”
As the nomads of Icheon entered the country,
Construction progress has accelerated.
A lot of money was spent.
This is because I had to take care of the food, clothing, and shelter of the wanderers.
“I will get the funds somehow.”
In addition to income from existing agricultural land,
Profits from industrial products, including ballistas, also increased.
If this were the case,
There would be no funding problems until construction was completed.
“Once the Plain Farm is completed, we will be able to supply food to the entire Frontier.”
‘Existing production + plain production’ was equivalent to the total demand of Frontier.
“Your income will increase accordingly.”
As time goes by,
Habits have changed.
Instead of climbing the castle wall,
I walked around the wanderer’s tent.
What is their standard of living?
Are you dissatisfied with the current situation?
Confirmed, etc.
If you look at the proportion of the wandering population,
There were many women and children.
On the other hand, there were almost no old people.
It seems that wandering life is difficult.
Because there are fewer elderly people, it means that the average lifespan is short.
‘If the status quo is…’
School construction is an urgent priority.
If the burden of childcare is eased, women will be able to do more farming work.
Understand the approximate situation,
This time, I tried talking to the wanderer.
“What is this place like? Is it worth staying?”
The wanderer’s eyes moved.
He looked at me and the escort driver behind me and then came back.
My escort driver and I are wearing casual clothes.
It would seem like a low-level management of the plane.
Is that why?
The wandering people did not take an excessive example.
“Good.”
“Good? “What’s the situation now?”
“Of course. You don’t have to walk hard, and you get food to eat every day. “I also received the clothes I am wearing here.”
Objectively, the lives of nomads are poor.
I plow the field during the day,
At night, we sleep in tightly packed refugee tents.
Still, they are good.
“I see. “Thank you for the story.”
The next day,
From Noble mtl dot com
The next day too,
I found a wanderer’s tent.
Is it because I see it often?
The wanderers told more stories.
The biggest reason they came to Monster Island was not food, clothing, and shelter.
That’s right, it was safety.
“It’s safe here?”
Monster Island is far from safe.
The front lines are at war with monsters every day.
There are more monsters in the back area compared to the continent.
“That’s right. Those who settled first spoke. “They say it’s safer here than on the mainland.”
I dug a little deeper,
I could understand the reason.
Currently, Monster Island was similar to Korea.
Many foreigners thought Korea was dangerous.
We experienced the Korean War,
Even now, the war is not over but a truce.
North Korea fires missiles,
They are even developing nuclear weapons.
But when you actually come to Korea,
I am surprised by the high level of security.
The same goes for Monster Island.
There is a vigilante group in each village.
The village I manage has slave soldiers and even hunters.
If a monster appears, stop it,
On other days, we manage public order.
It is difficult to commit a crime because the level of force is so high.
Even if he did, there was a high possibility of getting caught.
There are monsters everywhere, so where can they run?
You can’t hide in the mountains like you can on the continent.
If you eat wild greens, you will be infected with demonic energy.
Thanks to this situation,
Monster Island. In particular, the security in the village I manage is at the highest level in the world.
“Do other wanderers know about this?”
“The rumor spread. Even when I was on the continent, when I met other groups, I started by talking about Ireland.”
If this happens, you may have to change your plan.
Because there may be a lot more wanderers than expected.
.
.
Plain.
Central government office.
“They really keep coming.”
Started accepting wanderers,
The number of people settling has risen sharply.
I thought the upward trend would slow down over time, but
It is still increasing.
Because of this, I received several letters.
Viscount Callas asked whether wanderers should be blocked.
I wrote a letter to Alencia asking if I could handle it.
And my reply is,
It was okay.
Current situation
Compared to a wizard,
It is the process of breaking the 3rd circle wall and moving on to the 4th circle.
Even the same wizard is recognized as a true wizard from the 4th circle.
“If we settle the population coming in now, our own power alone will be at the level of a baron.”
I listened to the proposal next to me again.
The financial situation was written in detail in the front.
Income and expenditure.
We also analyzed the expected situation one year later.
“The bottom line is that nomads have to work.”
It is difficult to provide food, clothing, and shelter for the rapidly increasing number of nomads.
However, when they start farming in earnest, the story changes.
As expenditures increase, income will also increase.
“So are you saying we should put more manpower into farmland?”
A proposal written by Isaac.
The meaning of the content was clear.
Even if we slow down the development of satellite cities,
The idea was to increase production by creating farmland first.
“I guess this is right.”
I signed the proposal.
.
.
Development of the six initially planned satellite cities has been temporarily halted.
Manpower was put into farmland reclamation,
Thanks to this, farming was able to start in some areas.
City Plain.
Central government office.
“What is the current situation?”
“Every time clearing is completed, farming begins. If this continues, a surplus is possible this year as well.”
Even with this many refugees, there is a surplus.
I once again felt that the economy was strong.
“Don’t push the wanderers too hard. “It is okay to suffer a certain amount of deficit.”
Now is the most difficult time.
We unreasonably accepted wanderers and provided them with food, clothing, and shelter.
Instead, if we get through this year well,
From next year, income will more than double.
It will continue to increase after that.
“Refugee camp security is also strictly managed.”
“I understand.”
Even if there is nothing you can do about staying in a tent,
Safety must be guaranteed.
What they wanted most was security.
“Is this the end of the report?”
“Yes.”
“That’s all for today.”
Issac said hello and left the office.
I stayed alone and checked the documents one more time.
We checked whether there were any incorrect calculations in income and expenses.
Only after examining it like that did I close the document.
“If it’s like this, there’s no problem. “It’s enough to settle wanderers.”
Financially stable.
There are sufficient materials needed for land reclamation.
There is no shortage of food, clothing, and shelter to provide to refugees.
The biggest threat, monsters, are reliably blocked by mercenaries and slave soldiers.
Everything is stable.
I thought.
Until an unexpected problem arises.
