They are waiting for the trick to be triggered, but my daily work is chasing me regardless.
In the future, the area of control is expected to expand.
If that happens, I won’t be able to watch this town exclusively.
“Maybe we should elect a mayor from among the representatives and have him handle day-to-day operations.”
The secretaries’ hands stop at my casual soliloquy.
Mil gives me a dubious look.
“A mayor? You mean you want someone else to do Al’s job?”
“No, I must govern the entire Ravenna region. The group of secretaries is also intact. As for the management of the town, I think I will detach it and leave it to others.”
Kiara was still and pondering, trying to figure out my true intentions.
She immediately smiled.
“The thing that you’re talking about taking brother’s place before. It’s connected to that, isn’t it?”
That’s about right.
“Yes. And moreover, I can’t be here all the time as the number of areas under my control increases. I would like to create a smaller version of this organization in each city, and leave the management to the residents of that city.”
Mil put her hand on her head.
“I know Al has a final form in mind and that’s where you want to go. The reason you didn’t say it at once is …… Because you don’t want to think so far ahead that you neglect your current work. Am I wrong?”
If we’ve been working together this long, you’d know it.
The final grand design is drawn in my head.
“Yes. This will be your first experience. Through trial and error, and through repeated failures, you are growing day by day. That experience is important, which is why I haven’t revealed the final form.”
“You’ve been saying for a while now that you want us to fail and grow. What does that have to do with not telling me what’s ahead?”
It’s not that I don’t trust them by any means.
But if I talk about it the wrong way, it can all go wrong at once.
If I talk to just the two of them, there is nothing to worry about.
But now they have their aides.
I can’t help but fold my arms.
“It’s in my nature as a person …… My current job is a passing phase. When I think of it that way, I tend to neglect it. And once it piles up, it piles up more. Even if a problem arises …… you can improve it the next time. You think you have it all figured out, and then you can’t get it back. That’s what I’m afraid of.”
All of them became meek.
I waved my hand hurriedly.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you all …… That’s definitely not it. I’m just afraid that I’m getting too far ahead of myself, and that I’m depriving you of your opportunity to grow.”
Kiara started giggling, as if my haste was funny.
“Brother. No one thinks you don’t trust us. When we chose our aides, I was very selective with Sister. I made sure to let them know what my brother’s intentions were.”
Mil laughed at the word “carefully selected”.
“Yes. Al told that he would never entrust an important job to someone he didn’t trust.”
I don’t want to have any say in the selection of the aides ……
“Anyway, …… First of all, please grow while making mistakes. Otherwise, you will be harsher than necessary on the failures of your juniors. Then you will plunge into a troublesome future.”
At the words of the troublesome future, everyone looks at each other.
A little more explanation is needed.
“We will become a society that is extremely fearful of failure, and we will fall into a point deduction system. Quick and easy ways to improve one’s reputation will be the order of the day. That is, to keep blaming others for their failures while doing nothing yourself.”
Mil seems to be taking a leap too far to understand what I’m talking about.
“How can blaming others for their failures make you feel better about yourself?”
It’s a troubling story, rooted in human nature.
“It is a relative matter. Suppose there is one person who has done nothing but make zero mistakes. The rest of us all experience failure. If your boss is someone who fears failure, how will your subordinates evaluate you?”
Mil looked aghast.
“That’s true …… But by Al’s logic, you can’t have an organization like that.”
“Yes. That’s why I’m being careful. And the way the secretaries and aides are close to me, others are watching. It’s becoming more and more contagious.”
The aides all tensed up at that line.
Too much influence is a good thing ……
I waved my hand lightly.
“I have no complaints about the way you’ve been working. Please continue to work the same way you have always done. It’s hard to think too far ahead and wonder if you’re doing your job the right way. Of course …… I’m thinking about the final goal. But people grow in different ways. You’re reworking things as you grow and as circumstances change. In fact, there may be a more correct landing place than the final goal I think of now. In short …… I’m also doing a lot of things myself, so there’s no point in just talking about the future.”
Mil does not seem to be serious about getting the final goal out of me, either.
She looked easily convinced.
“I understand. I guess we’ll just continue as before.”
“Yes. And even now you have your hands full. If you add more work, you’ll have to hire more aides.”
Kiara shook her head emphatically.
“That would be …… if I could. I wish it could wait.”
The aides nodded their heads in a cackle.
When I make it clear that I’m going to do more work, it’s a real battlefield.
Such rumors were spreading.
I’d like to wait a little, though.
There is a good chance that won’t happen once the Dorius’ matter is settled.
“I see. I think so too.”
My mumbled response made Mil and Kiara look at each other and smile.
It’s because I know that when I say things like that, nothing good will happen.
◆◇◆◇◆
Then, a staff member who manages letters to and from the outside world came to Kiara with a letter.
Kiara received it, read it over, and then furrowed her brow.
From Kiara’s expression, it’s not a good thing.
It’s impossible if we get asked to accept 800 poor people again ……
Other tribes have approached me to join them.
And after the defeat of Dorius, there’s a possibility of population growth due to surrender.
Kiara brought me the letter with a reluctant look on her face.
“It’s from the head family. Fortunately, it does not concern us at this time. But there may be trouble ahead.”
I received the letter from Kiara and read it over.
Certainly ……
“The king has not been ill for long. So it is a replacement ……”
Living in the Ravenna region, I am not aware of being a citizen of the Langobardo kingdom.
That’s fine, but …….
What the kingdom thinks, that’s another story.
Mil came up next to me and I offered her the letter.
Mil seems surprised.
“Can I see it?”
“There’s no letter I’m not allowed to show to the lady of the lord.”
Nodding happily, Mil reads the letter.
""
“How does the change of king affect this place?”
“No, not directly. Unless the new king gets too ambitious and gets involved in the rule of the aristocrats.”
Mil looked a little uneasy.
“Did Al anticipate that?”
“Hard to say. I don’t know who will take over.”
As in the Edo period, inheritance by the eldest child is not the rule.
The father’s nomination, the intentions of the chief vassals, and many other factors make it not easy to decide.
The current king has four legitimate child.
He has three daughters, each of whom has married.
Even the wishes of the wives are involved.
A feudal system in which the king’s power is weak.
It is like the Muromachi Shogunate in Japan ……
Kiara sighed.
“It looks like father will have to go to the Royal Capital. Will the head family be okay with just the older brothers?”
Kiara has a hard time appreciating her brothers.
She just stumbled at the start.
In the game of the Three Kingdoms, a young man in his 20s has a political ability of more than 80.
With more experience, it’ll be over 90.
To put it bluntly, I even consider them a genius.
“Don’t worry. They’re much more capable than you think. They’re much more capable of governing the defense than I am.”
In fact, when I told him about the reform plan, he swallowed it very quickly.
He is completing his administrative reforms faster than I could have imagined.
Kiara’s eyes widened.
“When they replace him, they may not be able to stay on the defensive …… I don’t want brother to be sent out to help the head family. If that happens …… I’ll be the only one who can govern here, and I’ll be forced to stay at home.”
She knew ……
But I have no intention of leaving.
I can’t afford to leave.
“I can’t leave here either. I’ll make sure I don’t have to leave. In order to do that, I have to gather information about the kingdom. May I ask you to establish an information-gathering connection with the head family?”
Kiara smiled.
“Yes. I’ll do whatever it takes to establish it.”
In my mind’s eye, I suddenly saw Mario convulsing while shouting “Mamma Mia”.
They are waiting for the trick to be triggered, but my daily work is chasing me regardless.
In the future, the area of control is expected to expand.
If that happens, I won’t be able to watch this town exclusively.
