The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

108 Lesson 7: Priscilla'S Proposal

I took a tour of the construction site on a street guided by Uncle Drags, after which I was allowed to see the dwellings where the workers lived. Although the assumption was to destroy it in the future, there were many repairs and uses of buildings that were abandoned villages, which seemed a little inconvenient.

Priority, however, is given to us, that is, the completion of the compartments dominated by royalty and nobility. So I can only put minimal repairs in this one. Still, a lot of people lived in slums, and I could also hear people saying that it was enough to have windstorms and manpower to repair the house.

Overall, I was under the impression that the residents here had good air. And after the inspection, we were returning to Count Cyan's mansion for tea during the rest of the day.

"Check it out. How was the scene? Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere."

"You thought the overall air was very good. I don't think the worker's family, the housing problem or the dissatisfaction is that great. The workers were well motivated and lively. Expectations have grown."

"That's what you said, as much as I appreciate it.... So do you think of the problem?

"Huh? Isn't it especially because His Royal Highness Sister Wang just said it was good?

Gakun is turning his eyes round and looking back at Uncle Drags's inquiry. It's Charne who reacts the same way Gakun does.

"I don't think there's a problem. So far."

"Where are we?

"We have enough men. Residents are lively. Plans for construction are well under way. It's a good thing you don't have a place to stay, but is it too much of my thinking to think you're going a little too well? What do you think, Navre?"

"... right. I know this could be a tough place to start."

"... why?

"You might think your current budget is enough because you don't have a problem,"

Two people nodded to agree with my whining: Uncle Drags and Navre. On the contrary, it was Gakun and Charne who seemed to wonder.

"What's a budget... if it's enough, isn't it a problem?

"That's right. So now I don't have any trouble. But I don't know what's ahead."

"No, isn't it? Don't you know what's ahead?

"That's right, too. But I'm also afraid I don't have a say in winning a budget for when something happens. Otherwise, the budget will be taken. It doesn't just cost money to develop a city. If you just said," I've done enough now, "then you don't need any more budgets, then maybe the budget won't come out anymore. We're not the only ones spending the budget."

The national budget is finite. That is why budget appropriations will naturally be necessary. Indeed, urban development is doing well now, and nothing is going wrong. Then it's right to turn the budget elsewhere if you don't have to.

But I'm also afraid to give you an opinion on nothing. I haven't had enough money since I needed it, it's not very good to say.

"It's just not a problem now. I don't know the future. So we need to prevent that from happening. So, should I say I need to think about what to prevent?"

"... that's a difficult story."

"I'm a little... not attached either"

Raise your hands as small as Gakun surrendered. You've managed to understand. Charne's roaring with a difficult face. Well, Charne's the youngest of these. It doesn't look like education is enough because the management of the territory is painful.

It is Uncle Dragus who is smiling bitterly at the way those two look.

"This is all something that you won't know until you become the overall supervisor and the person in charge."

"Right. In short, we need a budget to maintain the status quo, a budget to prepare for any problems that may arise. Make it, and when it's done, it's not over."

"Even the Knights do, Gurk. Anything that stands on top of any organization has to turn its head on getting such a budget. Did you think your father liked paperwork and stared at it?

"Huh! I get it. You tell me to study a little, Master Navre."

You saw the flag color was bad. Gakun gives you an unpleasant look and shows you how to escape. Did you think the pursuit of more than that would make the air worse, and Navre didn't say anything just to exhale.

"I think this is one of the reasons I was sent to the scene as head of the crime scene."

"Hmm? Isn't that just why we're making this a major city in the study of magic in the future?

"By sending me, it also means a political appeal that Uffi attaches importance to the construction of new cities. After that, I wonder what it means to be the back shield of Uncle Drags."

Uncle Dragus nodded as he put his arms around me to indicate his agreement to my words.

"I became Count, but only formerly a civilian. My wife, Arianna, also lends a hand in the management of the territory and so on, but they are also daughters of the Viscount family. It's so far from power."

"That's why it's an ideal situation for me to stand on Uncle Drags and move forward with the plan. Uncle Dragus is expected to be able to respond to situations that are difficult to realize in nobility due to his experience as a civilian. If I'm with Uncle Drags, it's easy to keep pace."

"And it is difficult for me and my wife to deal with the external compromise with you, with the help of His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere. It is the reason that Her Majesty Queen Uphilia has taken refuge through Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere."

It's not like I'm good at politics, either. And at the end of the day, we'll leave it to Uffi to negotiate and around the budget. Some say it's Uffi who has the final decision, but Uffi became queen because he wants me to be free in the first place.

Formally, Uffi ordered me to go to the crime scene, but the contents are that if I go, I can do whatever I want, so the trouble is that Uffi will deal with it further behind me. That's why I can't just be sweet on Uffi, so I need to be able to do it one by one, even if I'm not good at it.

"... Nah, sounds like a tough story after all. It's tough."

"Ha ha. Gakun studying with Charne too?

"... I'll think positively"

Because you're a knight, you're not good at brains, Gah. I think I know who I am there. I can kind of tell by the look on your face.

"You can take the day off now. Get some rest."

"Her Royal Highness the King. Would you like some time now?

After each of them left to rest, it was Priscilla who remained in Count Cyan's residence who spoke to me as I walked down the corridor.

I had a dossier in my hand, and it seemed like what I wanted to take time for was a story about that dossier.

"Fine, let's go to my private room"

"Yes."

Return to your room with Priscilla. Start preparing tea before Priscilla starts talking if I take a seat. Priscilla laughs thinly with her eyes narrowed as she watches the smell of tea drift away.

Priscilla serves the tea poured into the cup and I take it honestly. Sip the tea served and head back to Priscilla again.

"So, what's the story?"

"The use of the budget for urban planning, the identity of the workers. Has there been any dissatisfaction, etc., from the residents, or what do they want? I saw them all in order of high profile for myself. I hope you can see it through your eyes."

"... how dare you. Well, you collected it right away"

"We still need to investigate until each detail. I have only read it from the dossier and prioritized it from what the Countess Cyan has asked me. I thought I'd ask Her Royal Highness King Anisphere to confirm her priorities before targeting her."

"Are you really a samurai? I wouldn't be surprised if they told me it was dark or something."

"I'm afraid."

... That's not cool in a different way from Ilia, I knew it smelled the same as Miguel. I wonder if it's the way you put your mind, unlike Miguel. Miguel is kind of good at that. There is also a "play" that turns its gaze on curious and interesting things that attract interest.

But Priscilla doesn't have that. Just do what you need to do. Miguel doesn't have a fever. What a frightening opponent.

Shall we just look at the material? Even if it feels painful, it's a good summary of the main points. The rest is easy to read. This kind of care is good. Which...?

Read the contents properly through the material. The content that Priscilla put on in order of priority was generally consistent with my opinion. Though I prioritized it, I said there was no such thing as an immediate response to all of it.

Based on that, I read out loud what Priscilla had come up with as a suggestion.

"... improving the living conditions of the workers?

"Yes."

"Priscilla thinks it's a priority even if the workers have plans to destroy and rebuild their homes in the future, right?

"Yes, you can't say that living conditions in your current home that you are repairing something that you can use are good. In that regard, Count Cyan seems to have thick hands, but in the unlikely event that something happens, it could be a hotbed of disease."

"Hmm. That's for sure"

Poor living conditions make me worried. That's what I said, okay now. But I don't know what will happen in the future. I think this is something I would like to focus on as a budget to prepare for the next.

"If you're going to take a budget, you're going to need to sue like that. Above all, I think it's the" apparent "opinion proposed by His Royal Highness King Anisphere, what do you think?

"... you mean I'm going to say it, right?

"Yep. I don't mind renting the Count Cyan mansion."

... I'm a little sorry because I thought I was going to say it myself.

But that's no good. Emotionally, that's good, but when I take the initiative of the royal family, it affects everyone I bring as an offering, as well as Count Cyan.

"This is not just a matter for the workers and their families, but also for the knights who are staying in the land."

"I wasn't on your side today, but it's practically a camp..."

The staying knights are now on perimeter alert to protect this construction site. So their lives are no different from camp now. I would like to get my hands on that as soon as possible.

"There's nothing wrong with that right now, but there are a bunch of items I'd like to keep in mind..."

"Yep. So there's one abdominal proposal from me."

"The abdominal proposal?"

"I think we should start the residence of His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere with additional personnel without waiting for the construction of the water supply"

"... why?

The building I was originally planning to live in was to be built on it after the water works were completed. But I frown that the proposal that Priscilla came up with was a change of plan that was not part of the plan.

"This is a calculation backwards from the progress of the construction, so we have to check with the people at the site, but we have decided that it will not take that much effort to make a single unit of sewer in the mansion in advance. And the water supply facilities are great, but I have one concern"

"Concerns?"

"You can be royal. Hazards should also be taken into account if poison or other contamination occurs in drinking water. In the plan for this new city, the water supply was designed to replenish the magic by laying down the spiritual stones of the water, and by establishing the temple, the faithful and clerics who served in the temple offered their prayers and sent it to the entire city."

"When it comes to pulling water from the river, it's hard right away. You expected that there would be demand for a new form of temple that might do so in the future but would contribute to the city while maintaining faith. Lang did."

"A boulder, an up-and-coming wiseguy and the famous Earl of Voltaire."

It's not like the river is far away, but pulling water takes a lot of work. It was Lang who suggested that if we were to look for water sources and dig wells, how would we make use of the mechanism utilizing water spiritual stones?

Spirit stones of water have been used in such applications since the beginning. However, it is necessary to provide enough water to reach the entire city for each home use, so that it cannot be covered by the magic alone.

So we set up a palpable facility called the Temple, which supplies magic daily through people's prayers as a source of water. Of course I roared that the pros and cons were good proposals in the sense of maintaining faith in the Spirit though.

As a result, it was decided that Lang's proposal would be approved and a temple would be built that would also serve as a water supply site for the water supply.

"You mean to speed up the establishment of that temple?

"Yep. So how about we build a big bathroom facility in" Next "?

"... hmm?

Priscilla's rhetoric caught on a little, and I blink.

"It is well known that His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere has a strong attachment to bathing areas. And in the future, many people will gather here for training, exercises, technology development, provision and maintenance related to magic. Naturally, some of them are aristocrats. When it comes to bathing these people to make them, His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere will take them into custody.

"... go on?

"Yeah, but if we were to install a bath, we'd really need water. If so, it would be convenient to have a temple co-located in the residence of His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere. It's a big landmark, providing water to people one foot away. If you supply this water to the people, you will get support."

"... right. I'm still talking about using spiritual stones of water distributed in each household, but that's not enough."

"Yes, but you won't be dressed up even if it's just the bathroom. So you will also need a reception hotel that many people will be able to accommodate, as well as accommodation for the knights who came with their escorts and so on. I can't help it, it's a necessary expense."

"As long as it takes."

I was hilarious and zeroed my laughter at the words Priscilla's gradual play had taken on.

"" Jianmae "does, but I'm the one who chooses" who "as a guest after it's done. Can you think of offering baths and quarters to knights who have shown loyalty as a mercy or reward?

"I think that's more like you than anything."

I mean, it's the same logic as my out-of-house. I built it in the future because I wanted to use it as an outhouse, but I wanted to isolate it "by chance". While I was using the outhouse, there was nothing for people to enter, so I built a workshop inside the outhouse and made it my exclusive residence.

Build all the necessary buildings as my residence before construction. But after building it, I offer it to the knights as a "temporary home" before using it as its original use. That's a sensible story that might even get my hands on security around me from improving the living conditions of the knights.

"And His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere says. He wants to spread the bathing area among the people. This means setting aside time to be open to the public. And he said he wanted to set up a bathhouse for the civilian population in the future."

"... how dare you call such a pre construction perky"

"I'm afraid."

Pre-building on the surface. But what I want to do is improve my living environment today. And that can be applied by building my residence. The superficial pre-construction isn't that uncomfortable, even as far as I've heard.

Yufi also helps me to let me through if I'm going to give a solid opinion. If you give me a "noble interpretation" of what I want to do, it's going to be pre-construction like Priscilla said.

"But where are you going to borrow the manpower from?

"I think it would be a good idea to borrow a little manpower from the crime scene, but a large number of people won't be able to do it."

"Isn't that why you can't build my residence?

"That's where Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere comes in."

He opened his narrow eyes slightly and said with a grin that Priscilla was about to rip his mouth off.

"- Can't you make a handy magic item that would shorten the construction period?
