Chapter 220: In the territory II

In the territory II

“I am sorry, I’m late with the report.”

An officer came in with a knocking sound, so I stopped thinking and looked at him.

“I am sorry for calling you when you are busy …. About the procedures for constructing the permanent houses for the immigrants. First of all, what is the progress of registering the families in the family register?”

“Yes, 80% of the population has been recorded in the register”

“Yeah … How about ¿job placement?”

“We listen to each person’s wishes and we introduce possible jobs that match their talents as much as possible. At the same time we’re also checking simultaneously their registration in the family register… And it seems that our people want to help them, so their willingness to employ immigrants is high. “

“That is very good”

So, they get familiar with this territory, get a job and can provide for their living. That measure is the premise to be able to remain in this territory.. as the state cannot provide for them indefinitely…

If they are willing to adapt and work here, then everything is good…

“Please lets try to finish this as soon as possible, but be careful not to forget to hear their thoughts.”

“Of course, as the projects have progressed considerably, we have plenty of room for new personnel, so I am planning to start off a housing for immigrants as well, what do you think about it? Since it’ll be a temporary residence, it can alocate more people than our current temporary residences.  “

“Certainly it’s a good idea but it can’t be advanced unless the personnel for the construction has been decided …”

Climate and geographical factors vary considerably in each region of the territory.

For example, fish markets are popular because there are ports in the eastern part, and recently trade has also become active.

On the contrary, woodwork is popular on the western region because it’s mountainous there, and recently they’re also putting emphasis on tourism such as the construction of hot springs.

Depending on the job, there are things specifics to a determined area, so it’s probably best to make a suggestion to each region about the ideas for a residence before starting.

“By the way, how much of the materials you want to purchase with cash?”

“Around 10% … Up to 20% maximum…”

“Oh, it’s better than I thought…”

Purchase with cash in hand is to buy with cash instead of exchanging materials for food or goods. After the disaster, because the situation econocamilly got very bad, it was hard to purchase directly with cash, so exchanging goods was the usual.

… Of course the prerequisite to finish all these ideas for the immigrants that I have is to escape from the disruption caused by the disaster and this war that we don’t know the result.

“You already have a briefing outline of the territory, don’t you?”

It’s an orientation meeting held for migrant applicants.

It is a meeting to explain the policies and institutions of the territory, and details of each region.

“Well, whatever, this place has many things that differ gratly from other territories. For us it’s already natural.”

For example bank notes, banking system, education system, then the taxation system.

There are measures that differ greatly from other territories, and initially it seems that confusion and confusion have appeared quite a bit.

It seems that the people of this land gradually got used to it as it was introduced one at a time.

If it had been introduced all together, the people would have responded like the immigrants.

…… However, although there are not many people to accommodate now compared to other times, it’s impossible to have the assumption that all people will adapt to these changes.

“In any case, after conducting a briefing session for them, they should understand the regions differences and way of life as a matter of fact, and if they can consult individually the officers later, then it’s all okay …. Residential housing would be solved with these purchase of materials and the assignement of personnel for the construction, this side will not need to take any further steps… So, what about food support? “

“It has already been distributed, and it has been adjusted the quotes with the agriculture department for future distributions.”

The agricultural department is a new department that I created before going to the kingdom.

It consists of a few officials pulled out from the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs and Buildings, and people who have achieved excellent results in the agricultural department at the university.

And about the duties of this new department, they specialize in managing the state of our territory’s food.

More precisely, it is required for them not only to manage the stockpiles, but also to predict the production output of each region and type of goods, manage it, and deal with it by cooperating with each department if there is a problem.

With the case of Ed’s harassment, when we were imposed to provide 40% of the total amount of food of the entire kingdom, I found it a necessity as a way of having more imformation on food production and predict bad harvests. In other words, a protection to not be left with no food for ourselves

“I see. I’d like to check the agricultural department directly later, now I have to finish other things …”

“Okay milady, please call me if you need more information regarding the procedures”

Our officials are growing a lot, included him …. I am touched.

Now, it’s the time to implement the new measures.

Because I predicted it beforehand and acted ahead of time, it’s now possible.

Their growth is truly delightful and I’m really happy to see the progress of this territory and all its people.

If I think about it… I added a lot of hardships on them since the time I took charge as the lord.

In order to promote reforms, what I have asked of them is not to work mechanically but ingenuity.

To think and act on their own thinking without being held by existing ideas, and It hit the best results … They have achieved what I asked for.

How difficult was it… It’s like driving a train on a road without rails that can be hit by anything at any moment.

While seeking in the darkness, I hoped from the bottom of my heart that it would still run and reach its destination.

And while they responded to it, and managed to progress one step at a time, I brought disturbances one after another.

Of course, even though I was hoping I was not the creator of the disturbances, but even so, that was the case.

In any case, the influence of the way of working of our officials has spread to the all the government offices of each region and is popular because of the results.

It brings the best results with a smaller number of people.

… … If I were a subordinate, I think I would be crying somewhere.

Still, they did everything I asked for.

Now, they are our fiercest fighting force.

As I was in the royal palace, I kept thinking that there are no bureaucrats that stand side by side with their people.

Truly, they are men with new ideas.

“……Lady?”

I smile while shaking my head to her who has asked me worriedly.

“Finally, I’d like you to tell me if there are signs of conflict between the citizens and those who wish to immigrate … I check with the guards all the time, but if there are many points of view it’s better. “

Under confused circumstances, it’s better to not overlook anything.

“They are showing a positive attitude toward acceptance of the immigrants”

“Oh dear… that’s great”

To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Although I was thinking that it can’t be helped if they don’t want to accept them, this really is a great surprise.

People sometimes show a cruel welcome to immigrants.

Even though they are people seeking help, most of the original population should pretend not to see anything fearing that they will later attack themselves.

That was my biggest worry….

“They understand that those people were so poor that they despaired, although it is bad way of speaking about them, but in this territory there is enough food to believe in a good future, the political system is clean and for the people, selfless… The lady at the top that only thinks about them. That more than anything brought them to accept the immigrants with open arms … Yes, the citizens also think that those are unfortunate to not have had a lord as you. “

“… I must do just what I can to meet their expectations on me”
