Chapter 154: 154 Division II Expansion of Territories

A few days after I turned twelve, I decided on a general plan for the future, and I immediately suggested to Ms. Flair that I had an idea.

'School?'

Yeah. I want to build a school where anyone, regardless of their status, can attend for three years for free.

I explained the same thing again to Ms. Flair, who listened to my suggestion and tilted her head back at me.

'Do you mind if I ask ...... why?　Now is the time to save up as much money as possible, isn't it?

Certainly, it's better to save up as much money as possible for when you come of age.

Even if you have a lot of money, if you spend it on developing a vast area of desolate land, it will be gone in no time.

Yeah, well, that's true. Maybe the money won't be a problem once the underground city is built, because there will be more people there. More importantly, four years from now, there will be a huge shortage of people rather than money.

I can take care of the money with my ideas, but I can't create the talent .

It's true ...... that we're short-staffed to even run this city for free.

Yeah, I know. That's why we want to build a school to train those people.

If we could just put up a notice and get people to come to the school, we wouldn't build a school.

Even common people can do a bit of reading and writing, but proper cultivation like math is only for the nobles and a few common people. .......

There are too few educated people in this world who can work as civil servants to run a fiefdom.

So if it's difficult to attract talented people, I thought we should train them ourselves.

I see. ......, do you think that you can develop that many people in three years?

"Don't worry. In three years, I think you'll be able to get your education up to the level of graduating from an aristocratic school, or even more than .......

'What?　The Royalty School runs for six years, right?　Isn't that unreasonable for three years?

No, no, no, that's not true. You don't have to teach etiquette, swordplay and magic in class like at the Royal Court. It's just a school for civilians.

We're a school that specializes in training professionals.

We don't need to be all things to all people, like at the nobleman's college.

And I'm going to make sure that you have to be able to read and write to get in.

So three years should be enough.

I see. Then why don't we create three classes: knight major, mage major, and civilian major?　For knights and wizards are in short supply in this realm.

'Oh, that's great!　...... three majors?

It's true that the shortage of people in the Knights has always been a problem, and the Wizard ...... No, we've only been able to hire a few people who can use magic .

I didn't know that the school could solve that problem too .

Sounds interesting. It's a job. Well, let's get ready to go when you do!　The goal is to have my entrance ceremony on my thirteenth birthday.

Three years. So if you think about it, my thirteenth birthday is just around the corner.

That's next year: ....... Okay. Then let me arrange for teachers and such. I'd appreciate it if you could help me build the school and plan the curriculum.

Mr. Flair gave me a difficult look for a few seconds at my suggestion, but he agreed and immediately started to make plans .

I know you're busy to begin with, so I'm sorry about that: .......

I understand. The knight-major and wizard-major teachers can use our knights.

You're going to have a hard time finding someone to teach you magic and swordplay.

I'm sorry to cut into your training time, but you'll have to bear with me for future reference.

Yes, sir.

"Well then, let's go to the estate and see if they have any nice buildings. If there aren't any, I guess we'll just have to widen the east side of the city where we haven't built a wall yet.

With that in mind, I transitioned towards the city.

I hope I can find just the right mansion~.

Enough later.

'Excuse me!　The Myrddin territory has become more and more popular in recent years, and the chairmen of the large merchant associations have bought up all the good houses.

Yeah. Yeah. ...... Okay. Yeah, there's no other way. We'll just have to spread it out to the east.

There's no space to build a school in the underground city either, since all the land has already been bought up.

Since they are planning to build a pretty big school, the only way to do it is to expand their territory.

''Huh?　Are you going to expand your territory?

I was just thinking about the future when the old man took a bite out of me.

'Yeah, but ...... Oh, you want to buy some land?'

There's the merchants of this town. They'll bite off more than they can chew on the profits.

''Ha, yes ...... most of the mansions have been sold these days and there's no business.

Well, it's a good thing you made that much money, right?

I was wondering if it would be okay to sell the land to the old man.

No, I think about what conditions I would put on it if I were to sell it.

"Yeah, ......, I got an idea.

Yes. Yes. This is how we'll get the students together.

"Huh?

I need to ask you for a favor: ......

Then, when I explained my plan, the old man was a little troubled, but he agreed to help me out somehow.

A week later

'Yes!　End the expansion to the east!

From the completed city walls, I looked out at the land where we were going to build the school and other things, and hailed it.

I really wasn't going to spend this much time on the expansion .

I went to the country to check if it was okay to expand the land to the east, and also to build the north and south walls together, so it took me a week to do it.

Well, it'll be fine if we can do it in a year, so this is well within the margin of error.

It doesn't matter. We need to finish the city as soon as possible.

For now, let's just go ahead and lay out the map so we can find the place before building.

The map is a blueprint of the city that I made with the real estate man and Elsie.

If it works, this will become a map of my domain's school district.

The territory we've expanded this time is a quarter of Myrddin's territory and we plan to turn it into a school district and training grounds for the Knights and Magical Knights.

There will be a library and a large school in the center, and cheap apartments for students will be built around it.

The library will be for the people in the city and students who don't have the chance to read books.

Books in this world are so expensive that I honestly didn't know whether to build one or not, but if I build a school, it will include a library, right?　So I made the decision to build it .

There is no way the school will be completed within the time frame by hand, so I'll build it by my creative magic, but I decided to leave the student apartments to the real estate guy.

There is no need to hurry since it will be enough for one year's worth of students to live there.

And of course, in exchange for selling the land cheaply, I promised the students a low rent.

With this, we can attract young people from other domains, right?

And about the training grounds for the Knights and Magical Knights ...... I've decided to build them in the hope that the number of recruits will grow steadily and the castle training grounds won't be enough.

I'm going to use my creative magic to build the training grounds as well as the school.

However, I've been thinking of some interesting training devices and I can't wait to build it.

So we'll have to hurry up and build the school.

But there are many things I want to try out at the school.

Yeah - I want to try that one, and this one, and this one, oh, but I'm not going to do this one: .......

Then I was thinking about what kind of school I'm going to build and I finished laying the road .

Okay, tomorrow we'll start building a school!
