Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"I have to buy a slave soon."

Suddenly, I thought.

Then Julia, Tetra and Alice tilted their heads strangely.

"why?"

"I have a lot."

"What do you mean?"

They pointed to the slave who had just walked.

Originally owned by King Rossais, the predecessor. It is now my property.

One of the servants.

"Um ... what happened?"

The slave woman tilted her head.

Anyone who is suddenly pointed to his husband's wife and concubine will be confused.

"Nothing, it was bad to interrupt my job"

The slave woman bowed and returned to work.

"I'm thinking of buying slaves for Anks and Fiona."

In the Kingdom of Romaria, or Adernia, slaves are very commonplace.

Slave accounts for 10% of our population.

Slaves are indispensable in building society on the Adernia Peninsula.

If a horse is said in Japan, if it is Porsche or Ferrari, the slave is something like a rice transplanter.

Slave is indispensable in Japan, where more than 90% of the population is farmers and the main industries are agriculture and livestock.

Basically, more than middle-class families have one or two slaves.

In addition, slaves are absolutely indispensable in large farms (Latihundium) run by nobles who own a lot of land.

Nobles have on average about a hundred slaves.

By the way, it is the Julius family, that is, I, who has the most slaves on the Adernia Peninsula in the Kingdom of Romania.

Inherited the slaves owned by the Rossais and the slaves owned by the Ass, and the land that was greatly increased by the war process (the land of the Romania is all state-owned land and my land, so I run my own agriculture. It is very profitable because there is no tax, so we buy slaves to cultivate herbs, fragrances, and flowers that are the ingredients of perfumes that do not squeeze people's lives ...

So, somehow there are about 8,000 slaves.

Ten percent of the total 80,000 slaves in Japan are owned by me.

Slaves are not only active in agriculture.

For example, mine.

Labor in mines, where they can die anytime, is mainly slavery.

Housework and cooking are also slave jobs.

In particular, slaves who can cook delicious food are traded at high prices and are treated accordingly.

In fact, the Julian chefs are slaves.

By the way, the salary (the amount of gold and silver, grain) paid to them is converted into Japanese yen, which is about the same as the section manager of a large company.

In addition, slaves serve as noble and royal guards and secretaries.

In addition, tutors, doctors, sorcerers, artists, dancers, etc ... Slaves with various specialties are traded at very high prices.

The reason why slaves are so popular in our country is that they never betray their masters.

Indeed, slaves are treated as things by their masters, and sometimes suffer unreasonable abuse. (Well, they don't usually hurt precious property, but it's not uncommon for people to hit things.)

But slaves do not rebel against their masters.

If you rebel, death is waiting.

Also, most slaves will jump off if their master's enemies ask you to turn over.

No matter how much money you have, you are freed from slavery, you have to be a nobleman, and you have been oppressed by your husband.

This is because it is obvious that a slave who has betrayed at least once will be disposed of.

A slave is a thing, but a willing thing.

If they care, they can harm their masters.

Therefore, slaves are required to have more "absolute loyalty" to their master than ability and effort.

“Absolute” here is really absolute.

If your husband tells you to commit a crime, you must commit without complaining.

And even if the order threatens the husband's disadvantages and, in some cases, threatens the life of the master, he can disobey and advise on it, but he must obey him in the end.

Well, if it is easy to understand ...

What do you do when you see a kitchen knife that comes out of the shelf and starts cabbage shredding?

I'm saying that.

Even if the tonight's side dish is originally a tonkatsu or if you need to shred cabbage ...

A kitchen knife that shreds cabbage without any instructions is clearly dangerous.

It is good because cabbage is shredded.

But one day, it will surely begin to shred humans.

No matter how smart and sharp the knife is, you have to knock it off and dispose of it.

So the slaves are aware that death is awaiting if they oppose the master's command.

So basically I don't betray.

Rather than plotting a betrayal, she tries to make a profit by fascinating her husband.

... However, common sense is a story.

Slave revolts are not uncommon, and many slaves betray their masters.

For example, Alice.

Well, Alice has already released, and the ownership has been transferred to me when I was captured in the war in the first place, but it is slightly different.

Well, basically, slaves do not betray their masters.

That's why ...

"Buy slaves to Anks and Fiona"

"I don `t really understand"

"I can't see the story, what is it?"

"How does that relate to the purchase of slaves?"

I mean ...

"I buy Anks and Fiona two children of slaves of the same age and about the same name. In doing so, they make their first friend and vassals. "

I don't care much, but I think it's important to have friends and vassals who are convinced that they will never betray the royal family.

Thinking about a certain Liu Kang or a certain Hongwu Emperor makes me think.

I guess it's a big thing that they were from farmers and were a lump of complex.

Anks and Fiona don't seem to have much to do ...

Well, there's nothing better than being absent.

that?

Speaking of which, I was also from a commoner.

Will I become a tyrant in my later years?

Well, there are Ron and others

I don't think I'm afraid of Bartolo or Ial, so I'm not worried at the moment.

Or rather, they are older than me and will die before me.

If he loses his life to Bartolo, who overuses that liver, he will dent.

Quiet talk rest.

"... I think it's good, not bad"

"Yeah, I understand the intention. It looks interesting, isn't it good?"

Yulia and Tetra seemed to be favorably received, and there seems to be no opposition.

Well on the Adernia Peninsula, it is common for slaves to take care of their master's children.

Because Julia has been raised by a servant who has been working as a slave of the Losais family for generations, there may be no resistance to making the slave a friend or vassal of her child.

Until he lost his home, Tetra would have been raised like a slave like Julia.

Slaves are more accessible to the royal and aristocrats of the Adernia Peninsula than the ordinary people.

Alice, on the other hand, frowned, seemingly unhappy.

"... Isn't that not good for education? I think it's rude to be a concubine, but ... my relationship with my husband in front of me is It was just such a thing ... "

Speaking of which, was Alice enslaved to the prince of Domorgar during her childhood?

Well, I don't remember the prince's name. I don't care.

"That's special. I'll teach you the proper treatment of slaves, so that you don't have to. I buy it and I'm the master until I die."

It is customary for a tutor slave to beat his master's child for education.

This is because the job of the tutor slave is to educate the child of the master, and the master of the tutor slave is a parent, not a child.

The child of the master is not the master.

So hitting is not guilty.

Therefore, it is a rebellion against me that Anks and Fiona assault and hurt my belongings.

The Adernia Peninsula has very strong patriarchal rights.

Wife, children, grandchildren and slaves are all under the patriarchal power.

In that case, you can scold Ankus and Fiona, and if you are beaten by a slave child, just beat and resist.

"Okay, I understand. I told you I was too much. Sorry."

Alice said that and dropped down lightly.

He doesn't seem too convinced, but he seems unlikely to object.

"So what kind of child do you buy?"

"A clever child would be a major premise, and it's better to have a child who attaches to Anks as large and escort as possible. A child who attaches to Fiona should be one who can spell together."

I often say that it is up to the triplets' souls, but basically I feel that the human brain miso is clearly apparent by the age of six.

Become an equal friend of your son daughter (royal child) to the slave child.

A child who receives the word as it is will not be suitable.

Become equal friends (but don't forget that you are a slave and your royal family).

If you are not a child who can understand even the words outside of the word, you can not leave it.

"Is the problem what it looks like? Well, Anks and Fiona are like you, so I think it's better for the slave child to follow it."

If there is a difference in appearance between the master and the slave, it seems like a problem.

Especially if they are women.

"Do you still buy Adernians?"

"No, I don't think I'm from the Christians ... I'm not going to be from Adernia, I'm going to buy them from the mainland of the Peninsula.

Before and after the invasion, I pride myself on a safer and more enriched life.

But ... well, it's still killing people because it's an invasion, and I'm definitely buying my grudge somewhere.

So I think it is better to avoid buying children from Adernia.

"In that respect, it's almost never hostile to the Greeks, and the common language in the Tethys is Greek."

He is currently friendly with Pofenia, but holds a knife in one hand.

In that respect, there is almost no conflict with the Christians, and there is no need to worry because the country is in the first place.

"That's right. I'll call and buy a Greek slaver. You can buy Adernian before you learn it."

In this way, they bought clever and durable children, one by one, both men and women, taught Adernian, and then matched them.

I hope we go in the right direction.

__________

"No tyrant killed only slaves who had been with him for many years. Every dark boy listened to the advice of slaves he had been with for many years. No matter how sick or suspicious they were, they couldn't trust not only their vassal but their children and wives, but until the end the emperor did not doubt any slaves who had been with them for many years.

And no matter how many tyrants or imperial emperors, only slaves who accompanied them for many years remained understanders of the emperor. '

-A certain politician-

"Light and Darkness of the Romanian Empire's Slave"

The history of the Romanian Empire is inseparable from slavery.

Slavery has been heavily involved in the Romanian land system, the political system, and the economic system and culture.

Slave was indispensable for farm management on vast farmland.

The easiest way to get political supporters was to release slaves, and many aristocrats eventually purchased slaves to release them.

It is customary for liberated slaves to receive their clan's name from their masters, which is why the Romanian Empire's clan names are often Julius, Pompey, Cornelius, Claudius, Aemilyus, Fabius, and Carplnius.

Julius in the center of the Romanian Empire! If you call, white and black yellow men and women walking on the street will look back at once.

The Emperor of the Romanian Empire was afraid that bureaucrats (nobles, knights) would be deeply involved in state affairs and exert their influence.

For this reason, he relied on slaves he brought with him from childhood and slaves who served his father.

They were called slave bureaucrats and effectively ruled the politics of the Romanian Empire for hundreds of years.

Some slaves also formed slave guards as emperor private soldiers.

They played a major role in the power of the emperor and sometimes fought with slave bureaucrats.

Slavery, which would have hampered vested interests, eventually became vested interests.

However, their glory dates only to the Middle Ages.

Early modern or late medieval.

Many of them were thoroughly purged and disposed of by the Emperor Romania, who, under the guidance of foreigners, seeks to establish emperorship and reunite the Romanian Empire through modern bureaucratic and corps organizations.

At this time, the Romanian palace was said to have had enough blood to soak his ankle.

Already in the early modern era, slavery had begun to disappear.

Before the modern industrial revolution, the Romanian Empire had already begun capitalist factory and farm management, and was more willing to work than inefficient and non-disposable slaves for capitalists. They needed much more disposable peasants and workers.

Also, with the epidemic of monotheism preaching equality before God, slavery was beginning to be criticized.

However, slavery continued to exist.

On large farms, slavery was still efficient, and there was demand for slaves, such as mining and other dangerous jobs.

Slaves were also beginning to show their owners' financial status.

Rare ethnic groups such as desert people and snowfield people, beastmen (people who have become the beasts and human children, and their descendants who have run away from the blessings of change), and unusual hair colors, beautiful men and women with beautiful slaves With him, walking in the courts became popular among Romanian politicians.

However, slaves were more important than secretives as secretaries who never leaked information elsewhere.

Never betray.

That slave's greatest value did not change over time.

In fact, the power of slave bureaucrats and slave corps was wiped out, but there was always a slave on the side of the emperor, and some slaves ascended to the minister.

At the height of the modern era, the Julian family had more than a million slaves, summing up all the palaces.

Farming with slaves and increasing the number of Julians by liberation of slaves were very important to the Julian family.

Entering modern times, slaves continued to support the Romanian Empire as the lowest members of the Romanian Empire until slavery was abolished.

"I'm more trustworthy than my wife, my son, my brother, my father, my vassal. Only you can talk openly.

For the emperor, the country's supreme authority, the only truly trustworthy thing, you, who is the country's lowest slave, is a bit ironic. '
