Chapter 145: 146

Chapter 146 - Human Resources Development

 

"What is a university Ars-dono?" (Gran)

"Well, I don't know how to describe it. It's a place of knowledge, a place of the highest learning where cutting-edge research is conducted. I guess what I want to do is gather all the smart people and make a database of their knowledge." (Ars)

"That's good, that it is. But basically, research is a money-grubber, that it is, is that okay?" (Gran)

"I don't mind, Gran. I'm going to focus on human resource development for the future management of the Barca Knights' Domain." (Ars)

　In the midst of talking with the old man about Kyle's magic, I thought about creating a university.

　It's not a place where professors teach their students, but more of a place to research various things.

　But this would cost an inexhaustible amount of money, as Gran said.

　At any rate, there is no guarantee that the research will be fruitful.

　Nevertheless, there is a reason why I have decided to establish a university.

　It had something to do with the exchange I had with Carlos the other day.

　The other day, Carlos had asked me a quiz-style question about whether I wanted the Ice Spirit Sword or the Nine Tails Sword.

　If the intention of the question was as Leon had guessed, it was possible that Carlos had in mind taking away our territory in order to use us as a tool on the battlefield.

　I have to say that it is still unclear what will happen to us in the future, whether we will be sent to a territory adjacent to the hostile forces, or whether we will be completely absorbed into the Fontana family.

　At that time, I just answered the question on the spur of the moment, and luckily I succeeded in increasing my territory while maintaining control of Barcania.

　But I don't know if that can be completely guaranteed in the future.

　If you think about it, Carlos, who easily took in the existence of me after I defeated Raymond, the head of the Fontana family, may have been planning to reclaim the land us Barcas have from the beginning.

　I've taken the trouble to build a city called Barcania, and I have no intention of leaving it so easily.

　However, I don't know what the future holds.

　There may be a future where I will have to leave this place.

　I couldn't continue my daily life without thinking about it, as this is a matter which would affect the lives of Baito-nii, Vargas-san, and many others.

　So, after thinking about it, I came up with the idea that not only is it important to develop the land, but it is also important to nurture the people who live there.

　If you have excellent people, you may be able to get by even if you have to move to another place.

　However, in this case, human resource development does not mean craftsmen who make glass or furniture, but workers with brains.

　Cultivate people with brains who can contribute to the development of the territory.

　I thought that this was what the Barca Knights' Domain needed in the future.

　Of course, this would cost a lot of money, but that would be unavoidable.

　In fact, even if I have to spend a lot of money, I have to start now.

　Thus, I set out to build a university.

　※　※　※

"But is it alright, Lilina? They are valuable, aren't they, all those books?"

"Yes, they are. But they are necessary to build the library that Ars-sama is talking about, aren't they? And it's only a temporary loan, so there's no problem."

"Thank you. Thank you for your help, Lilina."

　The first step I took in building my university was to build a library.

　After all, just constructing a crappy building would not be enough for a university, and no one would be interested in it. (TLN: Ars, if translated literally, called the 'building' in this sentence a 'box'.)

　So we decided to gather books first to make it a place of knowledge.

　As a start, I succeeded in borrowing some books that Lilina had been collecting and reading.

　Books in this world are precious, and you don't often get the chance to get your hands on them, but it seems that Lilina has always loved reading books.

　Most of them were history-related books written in a complicated style.

　With the help of the civil servants, she sorted them out.

　The officials who had been given Kyle's magic were doing an excellent job, and the work of the territory that had been supported by Kyle alone while I was away could now be done in a relaxed manner.

　So, they transcribed the books that we borrowed from Lilina while reading them with 【Speed Reading】.

　It would also be a good way to study history for the officials who had just been selected from the school in Barcania, even though they could read.

　They had been chosen by Kyle, and it seemed that they really felt no pain sitting at their desks all day. Every day after that, they read thick and obscure history books, copied them onto botanical paper, and filled the shelves of the library.

CadmarLegend Ars is starting a school system in another world... lol. To clear up the last part, basically, the people whom Kyle gave magic to are now regarded as 'civil servants' and have been assigned the duty of copying the contents of all the books that Ars borrowed from Lalina onto botanical paper (made by Ars a while ago) so that it is alright for others to read them. I think that soon, Barcania will become a mercantile city. They have so many different items, after all. And it's kinda already begun with the flea markets and stuff.
