Chapter 39 (1/2)

Today’s picture is

The disciple of Platidus: Miriam and the metalworker: Randy arrived from the capital.

With this, the camp of the Yamano Viscounty is finally complete.

Now, it’s domestic affairs cheat time!

… No, sorry. We're only going to be gradually improving, yes.

First, I had changed the cla.s.sification of servants.

I eliminated the distinction between escort maids and ch.o.r.e maids and then made the head escort maid an ordinary head maid. The head ch.o.r.e maid Kate was made vice head maid. The others are all ordinary maids. Except for Rachel’s daughter, Leah is the only apprentice maid. She's four years old, yeah…

While in charge of tax revenue, Gunther who was disciplinarily discharged was called a servant, but the ones responsible for that will be called civil servants from now on. Those on the management team too.

2 of the 3 people who were in charge of tax collection were dismissed, so only 1 person from before remained. Well, I can't trust the remaining one that much, but there wasn't that much prominent corruption, and it would impede our operations if all of them were gone so I let him off. He will be dismissed immediately if he does something. I'll try to grasp the particulars of the job to make it more efficient as quickly as possible so I can cut him off at any time.

The people of the defense forces are called soldiers of the lord's army.

No, base on the scale of our forces it's an exaggeration, but buffing is important in this world.

The Commander is Major William. The officers Sven, Zepp, Grit, and Ilse are all ensigns. With 36 soldiers under their command. And 4 sergeants within. However, the soldiers in their command will be replaced every 30 days. In case of an emergency, those who are not on duty will also be collected as soldiers as necessary.

There are 216 people in military service in total. 36 per platoon and 6 organized. Twice a year, they will have a concurrent period of 30 days of both military service and family businesses. This much should be fine. They won't be kept for 30 days. Even if it is concurrent, with the exception of the squads during their security and training rotation, they can go home.

As a staff member, Miriam is concurrently serving as both Mitsuha's head of financial and head of welfare. Let see your grasp on human nature and wisdom of controlling public opinion. Maybe I should some read sociology and psychology books from Earth as well. It's troublesome to write and translate, so I'll just read them to her once. She seems to have a good head, so maybe that would be enough. After all, it's only something to be used as a reference in the end.

Colette is also interning as Miriam's a.s.sistant.

Randy is being entrusted with the direct management of a workshop as an engineer working directly under the lord. Technically, he counts as a member of the management team. Because as a technician and an oddball, there's the chance he could bring in ideas from a different perspective.

In addition, servants like maids, the chef, and perspectives for the lord’s army are to take part in the management team as needed. They could be promoted to management personal depending on the case.

It's unknown what kind of criteria the previous lord used to hire the servants who were there at the beginning, but they should be ordinary people. Everyone seems to have been hired from the town too.

However, those who Mitsuha invited and selected should have great hidden potential. ……I think. Probably.

(tl note: I’m starting to think Mitsuha monologs in the 3rd person)

Sure enough, the unification of maids was unpopular with the escort maid who was on top.

However, she accepted it obediently so as to not go against Mitsuha who proved herself a capable lord. One of the reasons she accepted so obediently is because she the head escort maid, who is the direct superior of all other maids, will become the head maid as is.

And, after completing the reorganization of the servants, Mitsuha held a citizen conference by gathering the key figures in the territory to unify the will of the territory.

Lord's house conference room.
