Isekai Blacksmith - Chapter 57 01 The Romance of The Kingdom
When I became a king, what kind of leader that I would be? My answer is simple, a leader like Cao Cao, my greatest idol. I rather betray the world than the world betray me. That’s why all my followers and retainers must pledge fully obedience to me by being slaves or using the curse of Esthia. I really grateful that Esthia has that special ability so all of them will never betray me. Her magic called oath of dark geass, the curse that harm and kill the person who break the oath that has been made. I don’t want to follow the footsteps of Oda Nobunaga, killed by his trusted retainer and ended his ambitious life. I am not aiming to become like a some shield hero person that created his own village with his slaves, but my ambition are more on bigger scale.
All my slave and retainer must follow the orders that I created for them. There is three oath that they must obey;
1. Loyal and obedience to me
2. Never spoke about my secret or weakness to outsider
3. Be useful to me and my country.

It’s just simple like that. It’s not that I ask them to act like normal slaves and treated badly. Just obey me and cooperate with each other to achieve our Utopia, creating greatest place to live our lives. Amaterasu is my first step of my hegemony in order to achieve my goals. Base on the knowledge of my beloved hobby, playing the strategy games that create your own country and armies to win (of course using cheats), the basic thing that I need for my country prosperity is foods and monetary.
For foods and drinks consumption in my country, I let my maid king, Yuna became my minister to manage that problems. With the help from my second batch slaves, the elves, they use the earth magic to enrich our plantations and farms growth. We still having the bentos that I created by ‘numbering’ for our daily meals, but one day, I still want my country to produce their own food without depending on me.
I also arrange a special department to handle sweets and pastries. The snack only given to them one item per day, so there will not happen any obesity cases among my slaves or my retainers. The snack became so popular for the girls and motivated my underlings to work harder for it. After debating in weekly counsel meeting, I allowed the special department to offer more snack for the person who achieve something and the one who became best retainers of week base on the Prime Minister decision.
For the monetary usage, I still using the normal currency in this world, which is gold, silver and copper. Whilst there is no taxes yet to be introduced, but the salary system will be implemented by Daisille, my financial minister. She became so busy with her work, try to install the financial and trade market in this country for the better future. In one week of the establishment of this country, she became most important person for my country in economic development. She started to import all the luxuries and commodities for fulfilling the demands of the citizen in this country. As the new country, we still need to ensure the comfortable living style, such as nice sleeping place and the house with complete furnished. She also aiming to bring more slaves to this country for working force and try to deal it with Artos Store. With Rycur cooperation, the lots of deal and business coming around. The representatives of the three biggest human country finally have make contact and trying to create diplomatic relationship, but that’s another story.
Speak of Artos Store, currently the branches of that company that isolated themselves from the headquarters finally succumbed into crisis. Just in one week, the Artos Store branches have collapse and converted to Spectre Syndicate. Artos Store HQ finally announced that the main office of this company will transfer to new kingdom called Amaterasu and become one of the government legal company. The old HQ in Tiamat kingdom will change the status into branch and become private consultant in financial for Tiamat kingdom. All of the business and kingdom expenses will monitored by them. The loans that the country owned also harvest by the company with interest, so every money movement will calculate by them to repay it.
In terms of financial, our country treasure will never get empty, well as you know, my special ability make it happen easily. The cost to create and run the country has been estimated by Daisille, reached more than 1 trillion golds. That amount exclude the value of my assets, like flying ships, warships and the war equipments that I created. Moreover, I also have my unlimited monster core, potions and many other things that can’t be valued easily. So, in other words, I already achieve one of my target, rich country, strong armies. Don’t forget the ability of my spiritual beings like the sword girls. I just like filthy rich man with ultimate weapons, like some billionaire, Playboy genius who loves his daughter three thousand times.
The next things that I need to create a great kingdom is the accommodation facility for the citizens. All of the building created by the magic scroll that I bought from Artos Store. But, the scroll been upgraded by me to the highest level, +20, and gained a special ability. The building created by the scroll that I upgraded can produce it’s own power by absorbing the solar energy. The power that produced by the building can be used by the habitants for light source and some magic applicants like the magic stove, magic air conditioner and bath heaters. The user also can create their own building design, with the help of the monster core. All the designs for the building created by me, as I referenced to the modern design structures. All of the building complete with the water system, sewer line and magical circuit support for applicants. The funny thing is my city look like small New York City with skyscraper building. Maybe I overdid that, tee hee.
Actually, I’m not the one responsible for that. My country core girl, Amaterasu also helped me with tempering the whole city. She is the one actually request me to let her planning the building structures. All my slave eventually look to me with the shining eyes, and deifying me on their hearts. My followers, especially the Princesses criticize me for overwhelmed effort and this time, I actually provoke other countries. My Prime Minister ask me to increase our armies strength as the conclusion of my doing. My bad.
The next steps is our country population. My country population only reached less than 4 thousands, including the knights that following the Princesses. My Prime Minister, Rosellete has ordered her knights to bring the people from her ten orphanage house that she sponsor in these days. I lend her my assets, 5 flying ships to transfer them to this country. They amount more than a thousand people, including the teachers, nannies and workers. The process took only 3 days, and of course, all of them rejoicing in becoming my citizens.
Daisille, an ex noble of Tiamat, has her own territory, gather her people to transfer in my country. The population in her territory nearing 300 thousands, but not all of them want to join my clan, I mean my country. Nevertheless, almost half of them agreed and I have lend her about 100 flying ships in order to make it work. It’s estimated about 2 months to complete all the transaction. The other nobles started to complaint but my country compensate the loss with lessen the interest of the loans.
All the knights that join me also persuade their family to immigrate as my country is the best place for them. Most of the knights mostly from fallen noble family background and been treated badly in the country. There are also some of them still nobles, but in lower rank, convince the locals in theirs small territories and manage to get a few thousand people to follow them.
The other way to increase my population is to hunt down the peoples without any nationality or living free in wild. I let Shiro to find her survive clan mates and other beastmen tribe that needed a place to stay. I give her 20 flying ships to make it happens. I also lend my flying ships to the other slaves like my dark elves and my Hobbits for letting them finding their own tribes in different places. I really hope that they can convince them to immigrate into this country.
