Chapter 99
“It’s quite lively isn’t it, Count Baumeister . ”
“Of course . After all, the product was quite the hit . ”
Even though I took advantage of the construction work before, I could not support a total of 10,000 troops stationed by the tax revenue of a town with a population of 50,000 people, so I did not reduce the funds I had in consideration of later things . On the contrary, it was an operation to increase it .
There were craftsmen who made porcelain in the county of Mizuho, so they cooperated with them to create the so-called “Bone China” .
They were craftsmen who made Mizuho porcelain for export, and because it was impossible to sell Mizuho porcelain due to this war, it was so leisurely that they came to the business .
Then, in cooperation with them, we succeeded in making high-quality white porcelain by using the bones obtained from the monster hunting that the military is doing to secure meat as porcelain material .
“Demon bone ash . It’s an unexpected material . ”
“The mixing ratio is a secret . If a good craftsman of Mizuho porcelain would study it soon …”
“Yeah . I’ve already made a prototype . Even if it’s discovered, we have a high-performance magic kiln . ”
The magical kiln is similar in nature to an electric kiln .
The introduction cost is high and a lot of magical power is consumed, but stable firing at high temperature for a long time is possible and good quality pottery and porcelain can be made .
In rural aristocrats and the like, firewood-burning fire is still the main force, so the country of Mizuho is also a leader in the field of pottery .
“I’m doing research, but I’ll only make it here for a while . ”
I decided that I could not make it unless I was involved, and in this town I would sell as much as possible while blocking information as much as possible .
Since there is a limit to hiding information in the case of magic bone ash etc . , it is a bonus period only for now .
“Even after the war, we will use the improved Mizuho porcelain to attack the empire market . I wonder if Count Baumeister will also make it in his territory? Since Count Baumeister is far from the southern end, we have too much competition . No . Let’s get along well . “
All the molding and painting of porcelain is left to the craftsman of Mizuho porcelain .
Clay production and firing can be done by myself at any time, so I am currently working in the building inside the fort to keep confidentiality .
Molding and painting were made in large numbers in the building inside the fort by craftsmen who had spare time in their main business, ordered by Senior Count Mizuho .
The price is 5 to 10 times that of conventional porcelain, even for plain products and mass-produced products with simple pictures .
Like British bone china, there are delicate paintings with color removal, and now there are craftsmen who apply gold leaf, etc . , and the craftsmen who make luxurious cases also participate and the luxury products are at a ridiculous price .
These porcelains have been selling like crazy in the last three months .
According to the whiteness that has never existed, no one can imitate, and Mizuho craftsmen with high technical skills are in charge of finishing .
I’m not sure if I can make it or not, but I put my main power to use magical power here .
The hunting to secure meat increased the military participation rate, and left Brantak and Katarina for public works on the fort and town and its surroundings . Elise is in charge of treating the sick and injured at the church every day .
“The guys in the Imperial City . They can’t say anything to me and they’re dissatisfied with that . ”
The reward of the war so far is after subduing the Duke of Nuremberg after the autumn harvest .
Until then, I want you to stay in the town of Sirkat and manage the tax revenue there .
The emperor and his entourage took such measures as harassment for us, so we can not say anything to us who are earning from manufacturing and selling white porcelain .
Since we do business, we have asked the deputy official for permission and it is not illegal, and above all, we are happy that the tax is zero .
No, to be precise, the town of Sirkat has legal tax revenues .
However, the emperor himself gave permission that this tax could be used for governing the town and maintaining the troops .
I was able to cover all the maintenance costs of the military in the town budget including the personnel costs of the deputy officers, and I was in the black .
All profits other than tax are in the pocket of me and Senior Count Mizuho .
“As I was told, the town’s tax revenues support a small army of 10,000 people . ”
All white porcelain are luxury items, and despite the recession at the time of this civil war, merchants who purchase things every day come in and purchase a large amount .
The business for them started, and the town was inundated with white porcelain special demand .
The expansion of the town is constantly being carried out, the cultivation of farmland is being done smoothly, and because the town’s finances are in the black, public works that were postponed due to budget constraints will be done ahead of schedule .
Naturally, there are not enough people, so the number of people coming to work from the neighborhood has increased . The town continues to expand day by day .
“The town of Sirkat is expanding . The emperor can’t complain . ”
Despite the fact that it is under the direct jurisdiction, the empire is guilty of neglecting its development .
“But aristocrats like new things . ”
The ordinary white porcelain tableware is used by the ordinary people, who are a little fluffy, and the aristocrats are selling high-quality items that can not be ordered in time, thanks to Mizuho porcelain craftsmen who are now able to attach even finer painting-style paintings .
Most of them are sold to aristocrats .
“As an emperor, he must not like the aristocrats who waste money in white porcelain . ”
It seems that it is considerably dissatisfied because there are many aristocrats who buy white porcelain with that money, in preparation for the economic rebuilding of the territory that is stuck in the civil war and the preparation of the army in preparation for the subjugation of the Duke of Nuremberg after the harvest .
However, no matter how bad the economy is, a certain number of wealthy people buy such luxury goods as a matter of course .
I heard that some of the aristocrats who were robbed of the high-quality porcelain market and holding a kiln in their territory were angry, but their finances were in the red .
Since this is a competition, we could only say that we should improve the quality of porcelain with our own strength .
“The emperor can’t say anything, after all, he’s robbing the Southern aristocrats too . ”
Despite the civil war, there are some merchants who sell porcelain in the town of Sirkat and sell it to the south .
There may be a special route for them .
“The southern aristocrats have the money . ”
During the abandonment of the Imperial City, the Duke of Nuremberg fled with enormous empire assets .
He distributes a part of it to the aristocrats who are on the side as a bounty .
As the Duke of Nuremberg, I would like you to use it for development and armament in the territory, but I can not be forced to use it for every cent .
It was only a matter of time before the nobleman who was able to afford the bountiful hands on high quality white porcelain .
“As a result, the emperor can’t say anything because the financial strength of the southern part is also thinning?”
“That’s why . Before I worry about that, I wish I could care about the state of rule of the Imperial City . ”
Despite the subtleties of the emperor and his entourage, it does not mean that the governing body has collapsed .
After recovering from paralysis, it will be restored to some extent .
Take good tax revenue, borrow from large merchants, issue Imperial bonds .
Securing funds by common sense, the turmoil in the southwest and southeast was calm to some extent .
It seems that the Duke of Nuremberg has also decided that it is time to accumulate power, and it seems that all but the small number of responsive units are mobilizing .
Establishing a defense system, reorganizing and training the military forces, internal politics within the territory .
The lord should be busy .
“I couldn’t have fought without money . It was a big help . ”
“This is a big surplus . ”
Clay and firing are more advantageous to me, so the profit of selling porcelain is 50-50 with Senior Count Mizuho .
Even if I gave my pocket money to the kingdom army below Philip and Elle, the money was only increasing .
“Are you accumulating money because if a war breaks out, it would disappear instantly?”
“War really costs too much . ”
Despite that, me and Senior Count Mizuho would be in a more relaxed category .
Other than some aristocrats and the imperial government have suffered fatal financial damage .
It is certain that it will be difficult to rebuild the economy after the war .
“Do you still buy white porcelain?”
“Because nobles still need it . ”
Even at times like this, we are concerned that the tea cups we serve to our customers are beautifully painted and the substrate is milky white . “
Aristocrats are creatures that value pride above all else .
“I have a noble family that is as big as me, but I don’t have one . No aristotle can endure such a situation . ”
Senior Count Mizuho, who knows the Imperial aristocrats, smiles .
“You have to sell high while you can sell it . If there are other companies in the market …”
“Are you going to cut the price?”
“It’s also a hand, but if you overdo it, there is a risk of collapsing because you will not make much money . Since Mizuho porcelain is originally popular, you should improve it to match the Empire a little more and compete for quality . is”
“Yeah . It doesn’t make much sense to compete with other producers for price cuts . ”
Before the other side technically catches up, it is better to raise the technical capability and push it away, or to brand it and make it known to the world as a long-established store .
“The Count Baumeister seems to be familiar with the business . ”
“It’s the knowledge gained from books . ”
Maybe it came from my previous life experience .
There are also foods that are made by importing cheap materials from foreign countries and keeping costs as low as possible, as well as the ingredients and manufacturing methods .
Since the two are living separately, there is no point in competing poorly .
“I think I can make it in my spare time after autumn . ”
“If you do that, there will be problems with the escort of craftsmen . ”
“You have more soldiers . You’re making money for it . ”
“When that time comes, I think it’s okay to be flexible . ”
“That’s also true . No, it will be financially helpful . ”
Senior Count Mizuho is happy to return to his territory .
Then, Alphonse was showing up as if they were swapping .
“Therese is busy controlling the Duke Philip . ”
In addition to this, the military equipment was in preparation for a bankruptcy after the autumn harvest .
Because it became a political rival with the Emperor, there is no way to prevent the reckless defeat of the Duke Nuremberg .
It seems that you can win by gathering a lot of soldiers, including those around you, to defeat them, but Duke Nuremberg cannot be so sweet .
Telese and its supporters expect the emperor to lose with a fairly high probability .
Everyone, including myself, is busy preparing for the time when the Duke Nuremberg defeats the emperor .
“I’m jealous of Wendelin’s economic boom”
“Is Duchess Philip in a recession?”
“It’s better, because food exports are the main industry . ”
It seems that the food that is in short supply is being exported around the Imperial City .
“However, it doesn’t make much money because His Majesty the Emperor has issued a price control order . ”
Since the civil war is ongoing, it seems to have been a proclamation issued by special treatment .
Naturally, the merchants are dissatisfied, but if they raise food prices by selling too much or rigging, the security of the Imperial City will be jeopardized .
Poor subjects could attack the imperial government and merchant food warehouses in an attempt to secure food .
“It would be dangerous if food prices soar in the current state . ”
“Therese said so too . ”
Even as a telese, I have no choice but to agree .
If you decline, you will have to be evaluated by the emperor as a brave man .
There was a possibility that we could use the bad reputation to do something to Telese, our political rival .
“I’m actually doing it . I think there’s an opportunity for my brothers in Therese to retire her and pass them on to their children . ”
“A meaningless thing … maybe with the aim of breaking up your friends?”
However, if Telese became the emperor, naturally the status of Duke Philip became vacant .
It is not worth the effort to rebel against the present owner now for something that can be obtained in no time .
It seems less worried that her brothers would get on the Emperor’s plan .
“It might be that kind of place . If I had the time to spare, I could increase the number of spies sent to the south … . His Majesty the Emperor wins the Duke of Nuremberg . It’s a default route . ”
“It’s the last stage …”
The emperor who had a coup immediately after his coronation had a weak political foundation .
Telese, who is fighting more than equal with the Duke of Nuremberg, is in the way, but she must be superficially considerate of her working for the empire .
It may be stressful, but it seems that the number of soldiers is a good plan to subdue the Duke of Nuremberg and the entourage like Kobanzame who follows himself .
The peace of mind of the great troops and their bet are tranquilizers .
“I’m rude to say this, but those around him are terrible . ”
“I’m using only obedience as a weapon . There can be no good people . ”
Even if you are a betrayal of the Liberation Army, because the soldiers under the command carried out the looting and assault that had been banned, they are the ones who would go guilty if they were punished .
There was such a person in the company that worked in the previous life .
This may be the fate of a rather large organization .
“Therese wanted to see Wendellin . ”
However, there is no time to spend with each other, and when I and Telese meet each other now, more people will make an extra guess and make noise .
It wasn’t possible so far .
“Is there a possibility that Telese could work with me to drag His Emperor down? What is this saying, but I have no interest in the future of the Empire . Pay the reward quickly . ”
“That’s the case for Wendellin, right?”
Then, until the autumn harvest, Senior Mizuho Earl and Alphonse visited us regularly .
There may have been a wait-and-see, but the rest is almost complaining .
The emperor, who had no power, ordered the confirmation of the number of mobilized troops who worked hard to attack the Duke of Nuremberg and the securing of supplies such as necessary food .
Such work is proceeding without problems because there are human resources remaining in the Imperial Army .
Despite the fatal weakness of not having money, the power of the empire is still strong and production capacity remains .
The merchants also lend money because they have authority and tax revenue .
“It’s been a long time since I was in debt . ”
During the national integration war, a troublesome level of deficit occurred once every few years .
“My Duke of Philip is also spending his last minute money . I’m jealous of Wendelin . So why not give an apprentice maid a new maid outfit?”
The secret child Firine of Bleich Radar frontier was entrusted to the women of the servant priests while we were on the battlefield .
Since she was 9 years old and there was nothing called combat power, she had no choice .
Currently, Elise is educating her as a daughter of a noble family, while also helping her with simple things .
Since I helped take care of our surroundings, I usually made her look like a maid .
“That maid outfit . ”
“Do you understand? My friend . ”
Maid clothes in this world were still developing, with skirt lengths close to the ankle and rugged fabrics .
Therefore, with reference to my proper opinion, Elise and the town garment craftsman made an improved prototype and put it on the film for trial .
“Short skirt length, heavy use of frills, and the color is not black . ”
“Alfons . The maid outfit is basically black, but I think black is the only stop . ”
“I see! It was a blind spot!”
Actually, in the past life, I was just taken to a shop like that by a senior who loves maid cafes at the company .
I think that black is probably because of dirt .
I thought I could do it beautifully with magic, and if it got dirty before, I thought it would be no problem if I made a spare so that it was easy to wash .
Today’s Firiene wore a light blue maid outfit .
Other than that, we also make pink, red, beige, light green, etc . and make them wear them every day .
Since the skirt length is short, I make them wear knee socks .
This was also painful to do because there is no technique for knitting stockings .
“It’s well received by customers . There are also merchants and aristocrats who want us to sell it, so the clothing store that cooperated with Elise is busy . ”
Although not so profitable, our reputation was not bad because we added new business news to the town .
Since I am stationed on a strange land, I have to be careful .
“No, the Wendellins have a really good reputation . ”
“Oh really?”
“That’s right . There are a lot of soldiers, so the security is good, and the new porcelain made by Wendellin is doing well . The towns and farmlands have expanded, and roads and river banks have improved . That’s right . The amount of meat and monster materials that are available in town has increased . “
While also serving as military training, the masters, Philip, Elle, Haruka, Takeomi-san, Luise and Vilma were the main players, and the subjugation was progressing in the demon domain in the northern part of the town .
“If you suddenly attack in the whole army, you will be surrounded by a horde of demons that surpass it, so you will be violent with a time lag . ”
Make a group of about 10 people, disperse and plunge into them to hunt monsters .
“Good training for Elle”
I give instructions while watching the movements of small units .
It was a good training for Elle who started learning the military command .
I continue to work hard to increase the number of commanders that Philip can use .
“The kingdom army is fairly strong, and it is not bad for us to make use of this . I will also continue to train them . ”
But more than that, the Army of the Duke of Nuremberg and his descendants, the Army of the Southern Aristocrats, were strong .
The Imperial troops attacking the territory they protect should struggle considerably .
No, because everyone is preparing in anticipation of losing .
“Alphonse . It’s been a long time . ”
Alphonse did not just come to play with me .
It was also a messenger from Telese, so on that night, the people involved gather together and exchange information when they have a meal together .
There is no direct presence of Telese, so she is also her substitute .
“It seems that Count Schulze is very busy . ”
“Because I am in charge of the internal affairs of the town, which continues to expand exponentially . ”
Due to various circumstances, the county Schulze are working hard every day as the kingdom’s internal affairs officer in the town of Sakkat .
Chris naturally got into that position because he was busy with military affairs .
“The current city of Sirkat is strange . ”
∙ It is a land under the direct control of the Empire, and its residents are almost all Empire .
However, the governing officers are already working according to the Counts of Schulze .
The reason why this happens is because the Emperor has given priority to tax revenue in the town of Sirkat to block our movements .
The deputies are in a strange state where they get paid from us .
I think that because the population has increased and the number of jobs has increased, I am paying a temporary bonus from the profit I got from the sale of porcelain for a limited time, which is why I can not resist it more .
It is also great that the army is mostly the kingdoms and Mizuho’s except for the original guards .
“Is the power of money great?”
“I say so . By the way, there is such a thing …”
Aliphons handed me a piece of parchment .
When read, it was written as “Outline about the subjugation operation of the Duke of Nuremberg and a report on the number of mobilized troops” .
“Is this a confidential document?”
The content itself is a summary so you can read it in a few minutes .
Ena turned around and returned to Alphonse, and Ena expressed her concerns .
“Keep the source confidential”
“eh!”
“It’s a lie . Ena . You can get it normally if you go to the Imperial Army headquarters . ”
“Isn’t that confidentiality protected?”
“I admit it’s sweet, but there is a reality that I can’t hide it anyway . ”
It seems that it will be easy to find out where to attack by collecting reconnaissance on a large scale anyway by reconnaissance .
“There are many people who rent it . ”
Elise was surprised by the large number of occupants in the mobilized soldiers .
Indeed, it seems to be useful for reducing military expenses, but it seems that it was too much .
“The number of mobilized people is about 300,000, half of them are borrowers . Is there not much?”
“I am voluntarily applying . That is nothing from me . ”
Originally, we, the Royal Army, the Duke of Philip, the Duke of Baden, the Count of Mizuho, etc . , have been denied participation .
It may have an intention to prevent further credit .
It is a large force to supplement it and a borrower to reduce expenses .
“Almost no northern princes have participated . ”
It seems that most of them are Telese groups and distance problems .
“The main force is the Imperial Army, the lords of the central territory, and the electorate who managed to set up the new owner . ”
It is a revenge game, and the intention to reconstruct the finance somehow with a reward appears and disappears .
The Imperial Army had many powers that helped with the coup, and many people still follow the Duke of Nuremberg .
I would like to restore the trust of the emperor .
Luise seems to be terrified by the emperors who are willing to do many things to win .
“In fact, I think I can win too . ”
Therefore, it can be said that the number of borrowers is unprecedented even though it is an actual war .
“Did you make a mark in this war? This is also what a raccoon dog does . ”
Catarina was also terrified, but all the lords in the south are almost confirmed to have the title and confiscation of their territory .
There may be various under-the-ground battles over the share .
“Even though in order of achievement, the emperor wants to give priority to his territory and give it territory . There is a large-scale reorganization of imperial nobility . ”
From the perspective of the borrowers, this is an opportunity for an officer .
To the vassals of the central army, the government office, and the aristocratic family .
Perhaps they are applying for a large number because they think it is the greatest opportunity .
“It’s not just the children of the aristocrats . I think the commoners’ children, who have fallen from aristocrats in the past, have the chance to be the third and third son of the commoners . ”
By utilizing those people’s desires, they are collecting large-scale troops at low cost .
“There is no cooperation and no help . ”
“It’s exactly what Vilma says . So the strategy is to have simultaneous invasions from three directions . ”
“What do you think of Wendellin?”
For some reason Alphonse asks me the opposite .
“I will leave it to the empire who is familiar with the local geography to decide where to attack … . Assuming that it will be 100,000 because it will be divided into three . As expected, the route of invasion is secret, but it is known to the Duke of Nuremberg . I see . “
∙ The routes that 100,000 people can collectively advance are limited, so it would be easy for Duke Nuremberg, who is familiar with the geography of the South and is familiar with the military .
“But it doesn’t come at a disadvantage . The dispersion of troops . ”
Also, over there, it is necessary to divide the army into three .
Rather, it may be advantageous because it is possible to create two corps without the involvement of the Duke of Nuremberg, who has excellent military capabilities .
Considering the size of the southern part, it is not possible for the Duke of Nuremberg, which puts all the troops into one, to defeat them with a time lag .
“Still, because it’s a defense game, the Duke of Nuremberg has an advantage …”
“A self-destruction golem that earned a lot of time against a certain opponent . If there were a large number of arees deployed, it would be a problem if there were stationary magic tools at the base etc . because it is another defense . ”
The guru also had a hard time due to the number and timing of the introduction .
Conflict is inevitable if the subjugation army lacks battle experience .
“There’s no hope that Telese will lose”
If it is true, it is necessary to point out the possibility in advance and try to reduce the damage .
However, it also proves the emperor’s lack of power and ability .
I can’t say that, and I’m just denied when I say it .
“I don’t know unless I really lose . ”
“It’s pathetic for those who die!”
“It’s certainly pathetic . I would be more pathetic if I subsequently lost to the Duke of Nuremberg . ”
Despite the Emperor’s loss, Telese is still alive and he must defeat the Duke of Nuremberg .
To do so, Alphonse may have been dispatched to us .
“Yes, it’s likely . The emperor will start a new harassment for Wendellin . ”
“What kind of hand is it next time?”
“It’s been good to swing recently, so it’s a measure to increase the burden . ”
The day after Alphonse left the city of Sirkat, a messenger with an imperial command from the emperor appeared this time .
I was handing a bag containing about 100 gold coins and a written appointment to the captain of the Temporary Defense Guard .
“What kind of position is the temporary defense guard commander?”
“According to the messenger, there seems to be no particular job . ”
It seems that the emperor will ask for security while the soldiers are out in the town of Sirkat .
I feel the same as before, but it is a formal position .
“Why is it such a roundabout thing?”
Elle was twisting her neck, but soon I knew the answer .
“Honorable Count Baumeister . Hire me!”
“I have confidence in the spear!”
Many renters came to the town .
“Is that kind of thing …”
At the time of the subjugation of the Duke of Nuremberg during the Emperor’s Conquest, I will put together those who could not participate due to overcapacity, and guard with the name of maintaining security .
It seems that there were too many borrowers than I expected .
It may seem safe to call them volunteers, but it may be that they are organized into an army and are treated as security officers and reserve troops in the rear .
“You . It would have been difficult if there were no profits from selling porcelain . ”
“That’s true”
The greatest aim may be to kill my financial power, which is regarded as a colleague of Telese .
Since it is a borrower, you do not need to pay, but you have to pay for food and living .
“That emperor . Don’t get stuck . ”
If the Duke of Nuremberg was not such a thought, he was a terrible ruler who wanted to cooperate with him .
“The place to live in should be made of stone in the vacant lot . It also serves as military training . ”
“Yeah, but are you going to take on the rent now?”
“That isn’t it … I asked a person from the Kingdom Army earlier …”
As there are too many borrowers, I heard that Luize talked to a person who was likely to be a military officer and talked about it .
“I’m calling the renters, but I’m just the third son of a farmer . I call myself a nobleman before the 5th generation, but I’m suspicious of my career . ”
It seems that there are many people who try to raise a flag by taking part in the war, or because they do not have a job .
“Or rather? Most of them can’t be used without training . ”
“It was decided that Luise and I would do it . ”
“I asked . ”
Apparently Philip asked two of them .
After a month of basic training, if a bad guy will drop out .
It seems that only those who have survived it will be formed into a unit and full-scale training will be done in the remaining two to three months .
“That should mean the Emperor will send out troops . At the very least, I will manage to complete a usable army . I also think that it is a problem that it is completely unpaid . ”
“I think it’s exactly what Philip says . ”
“Does Elle agree?”
Is it because he is taken care of by the commander’s education?
Elle agreed with Philip’s opinion .
“Simply, it’s good to say that it’s always been decided that the renters are unpaid, but it’s unfair . ”
Although the kingdom’s army, which is treated as a mercenary, is provided with a weekly allowance, it is about pocket money .
It is a measure to prevent people from looting, stealing, and eating and drinking moneylessly because they have no money .
“No matter how much you treat as a borrower, it’s actually like a mercenary . If you don’t put out a little, you might do bad things in the town . ”
The evil deeds follow me, and Elle may be worried about it .
I want to avoid the situation of being executed as an attack material of the Emperor, with no reward, and the worst violation of military regulations .
“That emperor . Don’t get sick . I’ll pay the allowance for the duration of my apprenticeship . ”
“Yes, soldiers in the county of Mizuho also pay special allowances . ”
“I would have been increased if I was accompanied by Count Baumeister . ”
The soldiers of the Army of Mizuho also receive things such as remote allowances in addition to salaries and salaries, and by doing so, they contribute to the town’s economy by shopping when they are out of duty .
Both Haruka and Takeomi seem to have received a considerable amount of money .
I think that’s what I need .
However, if you let me do so far and the reward is stepped down later, I have no choice but to laugh .
“Okay . As long as there aren’t a lot of people you can trust at the moment, it’s worth saving your troops . It’s because the emperor permits himself . ”
Worst of all, the Duke of Philip’s family can’t count on as long as there is a force that threatens the contact between me and Telese .
It will be necessary to store power independently .
“I agree with Count Baumeister’s idea . By the way, the soldiers come together, but the problem is the commander . ”
“What are the kingdoms and those who have fled the embassy?”
“The kingdom’s army was originally an army of about 8,000 people . The great guys were either killed or caught and executed . The command of 5,000 people is quite impossible . I am educated by selecting candidates for executives and veteran non-commissioned officers, and somehow I have a goal . If I pull out, I will not weaken normally . ”
I didn’t say anything to Philip’s explanation .
Finally, if the kingdom army that has become elite after reorganization and training is separated again, the number of Karas who can not use it will increase .
Raising military personnel is really time consuming .
“The guys at the embassy are also useless . Some of them were pulled out and reorganized, and there are many people in the military politics field there originally . I have entrusted them to Christoph and Count Schulze, so there is no person to turn anymore . ”
Military people are not just fighting and training .
Logistics personnel were also needed, and it was Christoph who put together that person .
For Count Schulze, he was in charge of half of the rule of the town of Sakkat with an appropriate temporary position .
Even though the number of jobs increased, the emperor ignored the request from the deputy to increase the number of workers due to lack of manpower .
“What about Elle?”
“No, I’m leaving Elvin with a thousand-man squad . I can’t move to anything else . Sure . I think Elvin has the talent to do that kind of thing . But suddenly he can do anything . I’m no longer a human being, and I’m just like that, after the mid-thirty, I’m finally confident in commanding a group of thousands, and now Elvin is assisted by Haruka and veteran executives . Finally, the prospect as a commander has begun to stand out, but he is still a young man at the age of 17 . Do you intend to overdo it and destroy his future? “
“No, I mean …”
I have no intention of doing so .
Since he wanted it, he just wanted to remember his work in order to command the Countess of Baumeister family in the future .
“There used to be a stupid man in front . Although he was the only person capable of conducting thousands of people, he was forced by his wife’s parents’ house and the vassals of his neighbors to quarrel with his younger brother for the status of the frontier . The result is a lot of sacrifice, shame all over the kingdom, and still somehow surviving with the title . Humans need effort, but they bother others by saying they can do things they can’t do . is not”
“Philip …”
“I’m guilty that the stupid man also wants to start a fight without being able to say anything to the expectations of his surroundings . As a result, his younger brother was involved and he fell down together . Originally a civilian, he is a poor younger brother because he was associated with such a reckless troop dispatch . “
“Brother …”
Chris’s unexpected confession made Christoff moist .
“I haven’t been bitter enough . I’ll take care of you because Elvin is still half a person . Count Count Baumeister . The seventeen-year-old soldier of the Kingdom Army will only do chores and basic training at any good house . ”
“I’m sorry . Elle . I’ve done too much . ”
Elle leaves my escort and is working hard to learn about the military command from Philip .
Haruka also assists in that and sword training is as rigorous as before .
Due to that, I thought that I had said something bad even though the time to face to face has decreased recently .
“No . Mansion . That’s what I wanted . ”
Everyone is there, so Elle talks to me in a tone as a vassal .
“Keep Philip be careful”
“Because Elvin’s education is a formal job commissioned by Count Baumeiuter . It doesn’t make sense if you’re crushed by an education partner . Don’t worry . ”
Phillip was answering Elle in a shy manner .
“And, even if I’m talented, I don’t think I’m fit for this job . ”
“Why? Elle”
“I am a kingdom, and the troops entrusted to me are 100% Empires . I wonder if a backlash is inevitable . ”
“If you say so …”
Because it is an emotional problem before the ability and aptitude, the property is bad .
Some people may not care, but not all .

This could disturb the unity of the troops, leading to a fatal mistake on the battlefield .
“If this happens, will the Empire also be hired?”
Since it is a troublesome work, you need to pay a high salary, but that may cause less trouble .
“Is the problem a candidate?”
Count Schulze also agrees with the idea of supplementing the commander with an empire .
However, I was also aware of where to find the biggest problem .
“Yes . There is a chance . ”
“You should know who it is . ”
“I have somewhat of an idea . ”
It seems that Brantak and his guru were aware of my commander’s guess .
“Who is it?”
“Philip has met them before . ”
A few days later, acceptance of the renters began outside the town of Sirkat .
After asking them their name, place of birth, age, etc . , we gave 5 pairs of underwear and clothes to each person .
It was just green upper and lower clothes, but it looked like a team jersey .
First, after wearing their clothes, we make them do basic training under Luise and Vilma .
Execute running and various basic training .
The menu is an enhanced version of the club activities I used to do when I was a student .
“Running first”
“Is your mentor such a little girl?”
Almost all of them looked down on us just by looking at them, and their noses were broken in the first endurance run .
Everyone is sweaty and breathless, but the two who have run the same distance have a cool face .
From two people, this degree is really basic training .
“If you are dissatisfied with us, what about the guru over there?”
“Young people . Let’s master magical martial arts together with some people . ”
The guru who changed into a jersey for some reason spoke to them while posing like a bodybuilder .
“…… . Guidance from Mr . Luise and Mr . Vilma is all right . ”
The renters who could only imagine the scene of hell as a special training with the guru, obediently accepted the training from then on .
Basic training will be carried out, and those who are excellent in the process will immediately be adopted and begin full-scale training .
I am forming a unit in collaboration with the Kingdom Army .
Since some borrowers were really the children of aristocrats, they continued training on the assumption that they would have at least 10 subordinates .
“The budget is tighter than I expected . ”
Christoff shows up during the visit between public works and porcelain making .
Logistics personnel such as supply and human resources are looking for those who have talent in such a system from among the renters and are appointed .
However, after all, the top has not been decided, so now Christoph was temporarily taking care of the whole .
“It’s not too expensive to add, but why?”
“Because there are many more than I expected . ”
“That fucking emperor, take more care”
I understand the circumstances where I can not take all the subjugation, but I want you to stop pushing all the surplus here .
“But it’s not as much as I expected . ”
Rather, there are many excellent people .
Of course, it’s useless, but I felt that the ratio did not differ from that of the Imperial Army .
“That’s right . I don’t see the suitability of each borrower . ”
If it is not so bad, it will be adopted, and if the number is filled up, even the excellent people will be rejected .
It seems that is the hiring situation .
“I thought I would see more people and decide . ”
“Hundreds of thousands come from all over the empire . If you look at all of them, the recruiter will die from overwork . And there are also slots . ”
“?”
“It’s also called a connection . ”
It seems that there are many cases in which nominations and military personnel force hiring staff to hire, because they are only borrowers and should include the guy I recommend .
“People like distant relatives and small acquaintances are given priority . Of course, I don’t see abilities . ”
Although it can be said as a subtle connection, it seems that they are still good people .
“When it’s terrible, some aristocrats and military personnel take bribes and hire them . ”
Because it is a borrower, I can not afford that much .
I will give fifty cents to a hundred cents as a bribe to make sure that I am hired while earning money from other jobs .
“The amount is subtle”
“Even if it is 100 cents per person, it is 100,000 cents if you have a back recommendation frame of 1,000 people . Is it good pocket money earning? I heard from the recruited military officer under me There was Count Carvin . “
It is said that he is the owner of the Hokaku Earl House, who has lived in the Imperial City for generations .
At the time of the coup d’etat, he slapped against the Duke of Nuremberg, and soon after the liberation of the Imperial City he fell in love with the emperor and preserved his position .
In this troop dispatch, the Emperor was entrusted with the hiring of renters .
“It was worth the frightening emperor . ”
“He demands bribes from employers behind the scenes . It costs 200 cents per person, because it also needs to be distributed to the vassals and side-children who helped us . We have a back recommendation of 100,000 people . It was rumored like that .
It seems that many of the borrowers cried and cried, although they were poor because they would be hired without fail .
After all, it seems that about 50,000 people paid 200 cents .
“A total of 10 million cents . Even if he paid half for his collaborators, Earl Kervin had 5 million cents in his pocket . ”
“I’m a villain …”
“There is no shortage of such human resources in the emperor’s circle . ”
There are few fearlessly incompetent guys, and many small villains have excellent ability to sniff profits and interests .
The Duke of Nuremberg would say that they are like worms .
“That’s why I’m lucky, because there are some people who came here because they didn’t like bribes although they were excellent . ”
In a real sense, if there were only too many people coming, I would have been stuck, so in a sense I might have to thank Count Carvin .
“The bottom and middle are somewhat aligned, but the problem is the commander . ”
Somehow, the number of applicants from borrowers has far exceeded expectations .
Certainly, there will be over 10,000 people .
Then, it is necessary to secure the human resources who will lead it .
“I was planning to come today … so I’m here”
The person was showing up at the promised time .
“Is it Poppek?”
Chris knew that the candidate for commander I was saying was Poppek-san, and had a relief expression .
It was already confirmed about his skill .
He returned to the territory at the same time when we returned to the town of Sirkat, disbanding the mixed lords of the old man .
I should be busy with trade promotion with the town of Sirkat right now, but I forcibly requested a job as a commander .
I was willing to accept it .
“In the days of the Imperial Army, former military personnel also gathered . ”
Behind him, there are more than a dozen elderly former military personnel .
Most of them were old people in their fifties to sixties, just like him, but one of them was a strong middle-aged man with a physique comparable to a guru .
The whole body is wrapped in steel-like muscles, and it is a person who painted a typical military figure .
Blonde was a typical military soldier’s corner cutting, with a severe face like a rock cut out .
Not only that, he also carries a buster sword on his back, and his skill seems to be great .
Depending on the appearance, it looks like a great adventurer .
“I am a former Baron of the Baron Gilbert Cayetan von Bonhoff, known as the” General of the Force “ .
“I was very grateful to my seniors . ”
“He even went up to being a general, but a few years ago his family’s Baron Bonhof lost the family below him due to the plague . He returned in a hurry . ”
Although he was an excellent and third son as a soldier, he had acquired a knighthood on his own .
Rural territory rather than the central general rank .
I feel that the former is better, but for a nobleman, a broken house may be more like a trauma .
“If the territory finally succeeds in rebuilding, it is this civil war . To be honest, the Duke of Nuremberg had been invited to the rebels . ”
“I’m here because I refused . ”
I think that I didn’t show up when I was working with military politics in the town of Sirkat earlier .
“He was the owner and he was eager to receive the invitation of the Duke of Nuremberg, so he initially didn’t show up at Count Baumeister . ”
“Can you help me now?”
“I was at a loss for the invitation from the Duke of Nuremberg . Which is better, the modest quasi-baron lord or the rebel who may rule the empire by force, the Duke of Nuremberg?”
Every human has greed .
Baron Hoff was able to climb to the rank of a shogun, but he was forced to abandon his career because of his parents’ house .
I thought there were various things while thinking that it was for the territory .
“I hate most of the executives of the Imperial Army . I was alienated . ”
The third son of the quasi-baron was filling one of the shogun’s seats .
“The distinctive and cheeky of lower-class aristocrats! It is not difficult to imagine that he was distracted by other military aristocrats who boast of their family .
“Still, I couldn’t make the decision to join the Duke of Nuremberg . I couldn’t answer the question of the Rebel army, whether I was right or not . ”
Despite the fact that he did not belong to the Duke of Nuremberg and the labor force was short after the liberation of the Imperial City, he was not attacked by the Imperial Army, and he was invited by Mr . Poppek to operate the territory while decaying .
“If you ask, would you command more than a thousand troops?”
“I think it’s rude to the people of the empire, but it’s a gathering of borrowers and devotees, and I’m just trying to push others hard . I’ll give them money . ”
They are pushing those who might be a factor in the deterioration of public security against me, and are putting them together in order not to do bad things while subduing the Duke of Nuremberg .
There were many excellent people who tried it, but it can be said that it is a cold meal because I can not participate in the subjugation .
It wasn’t the army commanded by a former general with up to two people .
“That’s okay . Is Count Baumeister anticipating another uproar?”
“Uh……”

When I turned my eyes to Mr . Poppek, he had a meaningful smile .
“Don’t judge Gilbert visually . I think he is a soldier who is second to none in Duke Nuremberg . ”
“That’s what my senior bought . ”
“Okay, I think that’s what I want . So I’ll make him the commander and go to the staff . ”
“Eh? Is that all right?”
Despite the fact that Baronhof is more talented as a commander, Poppek wonders if he is about 20 years old when he is younger .
“If you killed Gilbert’s talent for that reason, it wouldn’t be the same as the idiots of the Imperial City . And I’m originally a staff member of the staff field . I need a” genki “to command a large army . ” I think it’s the limit of thousands . “
“Is that kind of thing …”
“It’s like that . ”
Looking back at the one who spoke, there was a figure of Philip with a guru .
“I saw it for the first time in a while . There is a soldier who is a general . ”
“Are you a shogun?”
“It’s the limit of military talent . ”
Philippes say that as people continue to work hard as military personnel, they all arrive at a certain point .
“It’s like having no talent to lead people, a few people at the limit, tens to hundreds . Somehow education can do something …”
In military aristocratic families, the education inherited from generation to generation will allow hundreds of people to be commanded unless they are very stupid .
Sometimes there is an idiot who cannot help, so I will leave it to my subordinates as a decoration commander .
In a peaceful world, there is no inconvenience .
“Your young people too?”
“I’m a few years older than Erwin, so I have a limit of hundreds . In the next fifteen years, thousands will be okay . Because I am a child of the kingdom’s famous military aristocracy . Will do something about it . “
Speaking of which, Tristan, Cornelius, Felix, etc . were assisted by the children and relatives of the vassals who served their parents’ homes .
Lower-class aristocrats and people from commoners do not have the human resources to assist with the initial education, so it is difficult to control hundreds of troops .
It seems that there are many high-ranking commanders who are senior aristocrats .
“So, what is Bonhof’s associate baron?”
“So it’s a shogun’s general vessel . I’m confident that I can manage up to about 20,000 people in about 10 years . If I have multiple Christophs and excellent subordinates, can I manage to up to 50,000 people? If you are a Baron Bonhoff, no one feels strange even if you are leading a troop of 100,000 people . That is the “General” .
It was the setting I heard in the story of the military account, but I could not understand it anyway because I am an amateur in the military .
“I haven’t seen it directly, but so is the Duke of Nuremberg . He’s a clever commander from the minority to the large army . He’s a genius in the military . ”
“When you say that, it feels like that . ”
I wouldn’t have had such a hard time if I stopped there and ended up with a good soldier .
“It is best to be assisted by Poppek, who is commander of Baron Honoff and has a high capacity as a staff member . ”
“I don’t mind if Poppek is satisfied with that . ”
With Philip’s advice, I decided to leave the command of the Imperial Army, which gathered the borrowers, to Baron Hoff and Poppek .
Well, I don’t know how many soldiers will gather from now on, but I have to feed them anyway .
For mass production of porcelain, securing meat by demon hunting, maintaining food import systems by promoting trade, and increasing the number of people would have to proceed with town development .
“As Duke Philip says, Duke Nuremberg and Duke Gilbert would be great soldiers, but more scary is Count Baumeister . ”
“I agree with the guru’s opinion”
The teacher and Phillip said that everyone on the scene turned their eyes toward me .
“Your Majesty exalted the reward for Count Baumeister from the Battle of Nuremberg, but you are the No . 1 Joker for Nuremberg . ”
“Eh? Me?”
I didn’t understand what Baronhof had said .
It may be possible to use warriors with magic, but that also reduces the power if there are multiple wizards in the enemy .
I didn’t have the commanding ability of the army and the arm of the sword was refreshing, so I didn’t think it would be very useful as a commander .
“You’re an excellent wizard, so it’s difficult to kill . There are soldiers who gather because you can earn money, and there are soldiers who can use it . I’m leaving it alone and paying it . It’s scary even for small villains . Even if you think about saving money by fooling even money and supplies because there is a gap at first glance, you can not immediately understand why you can be selfless and young . ”
“Because I’m just leaving it up, the army will be completed without permission . The Duke of Nuremberg would be afraid of Count Baumeister . ”
“Is that so……”
Scared or scared, but I had to die because I turned to my enemy . ‥
Because such a touch would not be gorgeous if you keep it alive .
“Anyway, I will leave the Imperials to Baron Bonhof”
“Time is short, but I’ll do something”
Baron Hoff was appointed as the commander of the borrowers with Poppek as an assistant .
According to an order from the emperor, this army is written as “an independent unit in charge of maintaining security in the central region of the empire . ”
Because it is independent, it should not be a problem unless you collect a large army, and because it is also independent, I have been paying for lunch for a while .
I thought that if I could get rid of the self-supporting profitability, I would let it go with magic, but it seems that all expenses will be settled later .
Of course, it was written that the rewards corresponding to the achievements will also come out .
Along with the days of the Liberation Army, I have not received a single copper coin so far, but the only thing I got is the old clothes worn by the old emperor, but I am a bit worried .
“But it’s more than expected . ”
Approximately two weeks after Baron Hoff was appointed the commander of the so-called “Imperial Security Guard,” the town of Sirkat was still crowded with many borrowers .
Apparently, the reputation of Baron Bonhof as a soldier is extremely high .
Despite having been retired for a few years, many volunteers were busy .
Executives who assist the conductor also seem to be gathering smoothly with the old stuff .
Basic training, military training, town and fort expansion work, hunting of wild animals and demons, and careful planning by Mr . Poppek, who became chief of staff, all went smoothly .
“But is it okay to collect 20,000 people?”
“That emperor . How unpopular it is!”
Philipp, who was able to concentrate solely on commanding the Royal Army, was surprised by the large number of borrowers and volunteers who came one after another .
“If people have the power to feed, will people come together?”
The cost is also managed by selling porcelain and fashion products .
I was able to provide food, clothing, and shelter efficiently and only give me pocket money, so I barely made a profit .
Of course, I have kept a detailed invoice for the expenses later, including the ones from the period of Telese .
“When Gilbert stands in front of the army, the army fits in nicely .
Recently, a guru who has hunted many powerful monsters and contributed to finances was impressed by seeing Mr . Gilbert who is at the forefront of military training .
A man with a similar appearance, one with excellent talent to command a large army, the other with a man with the best fighting ability in the world .
I considered the possibility that everyone, including myself, might not agree, but at the first meeting . .
“What is your name?
“Klimt Christoph von Armstrong”
“A man called the ultimate weapon of the kingdom?”
“Isn’t it Gilbert Cayetan von Bonhof? ]
“That’s it”
When I introduced myself to each other, the two were lying down on the spot and started arm wrestling for some reason .
The guru fights with his own strength without using magic .
”Why arm wrestling? Our question, “, was used elsewhere, and the two were almost in a match .
However, it does not move as it is .
Then, a few minutes later, they release their arms and stop the game .
“Don’t do it . you”
“Mona Sonata”
It seems that there is a way of building friendship in the way of fighters .
I don’t think I can understand it for the rest of my life .
“I often came . Let’s say that a certain person has a lot of drinks today . ‘
“Don’t hesitate to receive it . I drink a lot . ‘
“Some are the same . dont ‘worry”
It was good that the commander had already been appointed, but the two walked towards the bar in the town even though it was still in the evening .
“Are good friends beautiful?”
“here we go? “
Chris, who is a human being like me, leaned his head, but they seemed to be drinking from that time until dawn .
Despite that, it was great that it didn’t hinder my work the next day, but he gave me a ridiculous souvenir .
Next morning, while checking the documents, an old man at a bar in the town appeared with a bill .
“The guru and the companion . Everything seems to be paid by Baumeister … ”
“Me?”
For some reason, I was supposed to bear all the drinking bills for the two .
Or, I don’t remember having issued such permission .
When I looked at the invoice that was given to the relatives at the bar, there was a ridiculous number of 25,670 cents .
I see, there’s no problem because I pay anyway .
“Over 10,000 cents for drinking?”
“Two people emptied a barrel of my secret fifty-year-old brandy . ”
“… Don’t you know how to hold back …? ”
Guru contributes to the finances by hunting demons, and Gilbert is a hard-to-find person .
Thinking about it once, I paid for the bill .
It’s foolish to do the same thing many times with this, but I haven’t done that since that time because I know the reason .
Certainly, I was convinced that this was an excellent soldier .
“The fifty-year-old brandy that Count Baumeister had collected was delicious . ”
“Don’t drink such precious things in barrels . ”
Although I paid the price, the relatives at the bar were a little depressed that they could not serve other customers .
As things are things, it may not be a product that you can get if you pay even money .
“Count Baumeister . It’s useless for a man like you to care about the details . ”
“It hurts . Guru . My shoulder hurts . ”
“Ahahahaha! I still don’t have enough training!”
There were twists and turns, and I decided to hold my troops in the Empire almost on my own . ‥
How will this later relate to my future?
No one could know the answer to that yet .
