Episode 194. Peace in Our Time 4

Echacado wasn’t very busy when the war just ended.

The military police he led were not disbanded, but rather, they worked to manage the occupied territories and maintain simple security duties as representatives of the local security forces and the animal and beast tribes, which had relatively small positions at the time.

It was also Echakado who suppressed the rebellion in the occupied Erron region. To be honest, Echakado did not feel sympathy for the Erins. He supported the invincible one, so this was the price he was receiving.

Then, about two years ago, Paldin Core received the territory and became independent, and since then, there has been a lot more work to do. The reason is very simple.

“These local government officials who are former military officers are causing a lot of trouble.”

As former military men, they acted more like occupiers than rulers.

The two are different. The ruler aims to make his subjects happy, while the occupier’s goal is simply to rule and oppress.

And the local officials of Datang acted as if they were occupiers not only in the Eron region but also in Paldin Baf and Baekara.

Paron Echacado stops it. While the other Anrai will probably take care of the Datang homeland, he travels around the country (this is his hometown, to be exact) and works to suppress the tyranny of the military-born local officials.

Echacado’s base was now Paldin Koa’s territory, Paldin Bap.

This place, where animal and water people can live well, could become the new home of the military police force with many water people. Since it is a long territory, it has various terrains and climates, so it is good for various water people to live there.

I organized the internal affairs centered around this place, and I also went to the Eron region, Dimanang, and Baekara to monitor them.

Because Datang is a country that became rich through tolerance, not oppression.

However, it was still true that it was harsh for the Erins of the Eron region.

This is not because Echakado hates Erins, but because the law of Datang itself was like that.

This is the so-called ‘Erinse’. It is the heaviest burden given to all Erins.

So, first of all, it seems that Erins also work in collective farms and receive compensation for their labor. Here, they are paid a fair wage.

However, when you try to buy an item, you divide the price by 12 times the original price of the item. Then, you pay that amount according to the Erin mixed blood ratio.

In short, let’s say there’s a 100% pure-blooded Erin. Then she’s divided into 12 equal parts and pays the full amount. In other words, pure-blooded Erin has 100% VAT on all items. In short, her real wage is cut in half.

But what if you’re 75% pure Erin? Then you pay 50% VAT.

As a result, if it’s less than 50% Erin, the price remains the same. Up to 50% Erin, the income is the same as a normal Datang person, and if the percentage of Erin in the bloodline is high, all income earned from birth until death is reduced.

This is possible because the datang system is mostly centered around public enterprises. If there were more private enterprises, black market purchases would have been more prevalent.

“Erinse is too cruel. Why do we have to bear this burden! How can we ever repay a debt of 18 kyats?”

When protested like this, Echakado had nothing else to say.

“It is the responsibility of the invincible one. And this is not to say that he is to pay off a debt of 18 trillion won.”

“Then?”

“Mix quickly and lower the proportion of mixed races. That’s all.”

“… … .”

It’s a soft-spoken form of ethnic cleansing. All Chaun wanted to reduce the percentage of Erin’s bloodline to less than 50% among everyone else.

This is also because the invincible man was a racist who was obsessed with pure-blooded Erin and ‘Erindum’. The only thing that would be appropriate for him would be the gradual extinction of pure-blooded Erin.

First of all, I do the math honestly. I collect the Erinseh honestly, and I write it down honestly, so I deduct it little by little from the 18 trillion debts.

However, the Erins were actually harsh because of the sin of being born, and Echacado could not possibly ask them to forgive their debt.

He himself has suffered many defeats from the Invincible Ones, and he thinks that the obsession with pure-blooded Erin is bizarre, so he just tells them to quickly become half-bloods within 2-3 generations.

“But the problem is whether the local officials are collecting taxes under the name of Erinsae and paying them properly to the central government… … Of course, they are paying properly now, but I have no idea whether they will pay properly in a few decades. Will Datang’s administrative power be able to withstand it?”

Critical Echacado has identified problems with the current system, but he proceeds, perhaps believing that the administration will hold up.

There is no way that administrative power could suddenly weaken.

King Giri originally received the Dimanang region, but due to his great military achievements, he now holds a larger territory.

It’s none other than the governor of the Erron region, Darida. King Giri stabilizes the new local government system for five years, and manages the Erins as Datang citizens by giving them ‘tags’ based on their Erin bloodline. Incidentally, the Erin bloodline tag is tattooed on the face so that it can never be hidden.

And about five years after the end of the war, King Giri proposes a hot event to the local officials and their troops who have not yet shaken off their military habits and violence, and to relieve their increasingly mounting stress.

“Let’s resume the Kiruak (Great Festival)!”

“Oh!”

After all, sports competitions are meant to train soldiers, and before soldiers feel that the skills they have learned are useless, before they become rusty, you have to prove to them that what you have done is not useless.

The Giruak ceremony to commemorate the end of the war was held in each region in turn, and then held in Datang. Pure-blooded Erins were also given the opportunity.

Erinsae is not exempted, but it is not a bad thing since it can be distributed ‘separately’ from Erinsae. In fact, it would be better to say that the reward for pure-blood Erins is doubled.

Soldiers who had flown and crawled in the war gathered together to show off their skills, and even in the occupied territories, even if they could not participate in the ‘international war’, they could receive the highest level of decorations in the autonomous region. This was possible because the finances were somewhat lenient after about 5 years.

The most common phrase that King Giri said in this Kiru-ak was, “Please don’t kill people.” Whether it was martial arts or weapons, he fought like crazy, as if he was desperate to kill people, and the hardest thing was to suppress his explosive anger and hatred.

But overall, the violence is controlled. The snail racing called ‘Waju’, which was very popular in Datang in the past, has also spread all over the world. Different breeds of giant snails are bred in each region and compete in the Waju race.

And someone else thought this:

“This is a game called ‘Waju’, but in the end, the one playing the role of the ‘snail’ doesn’t necessarily have to be a real snail, right?”

So instead of snails, it also develops into a kind of cavalry battle where people carry huge palanquins and beat down the ‘king’ on top of the palanquin. Because snails can’t live in every region.

In the land of the Iyakans, instead of snails, they use horsemen (centaurs, but they are hexapods with feathered upper bodies, proving that Castle Lorang is related to the dragon race) as their riders, as they are faster and more dynamic.

A kind of ‘cavalry warfare’ is popular. Just as ‘ball games’ are popular on Earth, various equestrian sports are popular.

This even spreads to Bapan Tabna and Goaran. In later times, a game called Ijong Waju became popular, in which players would compete against the opposing team using various objects such as snails, horsemen, or maho.

It is a cultural development, and people sublimate their violent tendencies into something positive, burning with competitive spirit and immersing themselves in sports.

Naturally, gambling and gambling tables were also popular, and these were also controlled by Darida as a cultural development, so that the people of the Eron region would not become dissatisfied.

“Finally, the scribes are starting to act like people.”

In fact, there is not much change in Medakbo. It can be summarized as ‘living under a mountain of work.’

The Donum is no longer a military currency, but is instead a currency that cannot be counterfeited, administrative work is overflowing, and the skills of the administrators are inadequate.

We try to raise it to a reasonable level by doing whatever we can. It is a positive thing for the representative of the Lulmos that so many Lulmos men died in the war that it is no problem for each man to have a harem. If we call that positive.

“This is the real law.”

The judges’ documents are not yet adapted to the old Medakbo method. And Medakbo is satisfied with seeing the scribes being properly trained.

As the fourth in command of Datang, I am finally able to do something proper, rather than just work like a logger in the past. How could this not be a happy thing?

It’s a bit busy now, but in about 20 years, the quality of secretaries will improve significantly. Then everyone will be happy. We’ll have to send them to other regions as well.

Medakbo is happily working hard, engraving new letters with ink.

“Ugh… … Now the water transportation business is over.”

And Mana Yupa, who was responsible for the logistics and logistical calculations of the entire Datang during the war, lost its main source of income.

“Reopening the pop-up store for imports… … .”

“no.”

“Ugh… why?”

“Of course! There’s something that’s going to ruin the lives of all these innocent soldiers! At least until the culture matures, Yupoppo should be closed!”

“Then where do you get the money… … .”

“Well, I’ll hand over all the water transportation rights to the river that was breached. That’s enough.”

However, artificially created rivers and rivers that required massive amounts of irrigation to maintain themselves all dried up naturally, and only the original rivers or those that were geographically easy to maintain survived.

While running a logistics business with crocodiles here is a good and actually quite decent source of income, Mana Yupa thought of a better way to make money.

“Logistics must continue to generate revenue for water transport, but now that the war is over, there is no need to transport large quantities of goods, so profitability… … . Hmm.”

Mana Yupa was worried and checked how the soldiers in each region were eating and living.

And then after about five years, I realized something.

“Huh? You’re so successful, and yet you’re just hoarding money?”

“There’s no use for it. I have a 4th class medal and I received proper education and even served as a second lieutenant, but even if I wanted to, there’s no place to spend the money.”

“hmm…….”

Mana School reminds me of something.

“Soldiers who have become Dutan, Detit, and Dot. You have so much wealth, but you have no use for it, so you are just managing old weapons and building big houses. But that has its limits, right? For those of you, I have prepared this. If you are a brave soldier, shouldn’t you have a yacht pulled by a large, sturdy six-legged crocodile?”

“yacht……?”

“A pilgrimage led by giraffes, spotted horses, and cows? Sure, that sounds great. But how about a river cruise? A pilgrimage on a fancy yacht. This is your home, your strength, your symbol of success.”

The Mana School originally belonged to the realm of the lazy.

Originally, pure mathematics was a rather luxurious discipline.

The Mana School, under the pretext of promoting culture, are unemployed crocodile spirits who have become crocodile meat, and they restore old technologies that have been lost to war to build ships and sell flashy trinkets and weapons to the soldiers for show.

“It’s a bit strange to only circulate within the Datang area for logistics… … The Tatap tribe also trades with the East to obtain more valuable items… … .”

In other words, he brought in luxury goods and made those who succeeded into the world into truly noble nobles. Naturally, he took all the profits for himself.

Rather than criticizing it as bad, it actually promotes consumption and develops the economy. Mana Yupa says that if you have money anyway, what’s wrong with being extravagant? He argues that he only increases the satisfaction of the soldiers.

“Well… … I see.”

Unless the country suddenly collapses, it’s a pretty good business. Mana Yupa is full of thoughts of making a lot of money. Once he makes that much money, he can build a new observatory on the biggest and highest mountain and live there.

“Are you really going?”

“Yes. It’s okay now. The outside world is stable, and the Nono people are living well.”

“Still, it will require constant management.”

Nononono Hakang shakes his head.

“I killed too many.”

“… … .”

“I don’t have the confidence to make people laugh anymore. I’m going to… … take a break. I don’t know how long I’ll take a break, but I’m going on a pilgrimage. I’m going to travel around the world with my group.”

“Yes. Your seat will always be available. Look forward to the play next time you come.”

“no.”

“?”

“I’m not a main runner anymore. Anlier might be right.”

Nononono Hakang leaves Mainilun. He gives up his place and goes out to travel the world.

There are too many people to meet. There are too many people I have to meet.

Nononono Hakang will first go to the Baekara region, which has suffered the ravages of war. There, he will meet the legendary historian, the greatest storyteller.

And if possible, Tab Huludo. I will also meet my own daughter, who brought tragedy upon me.

No matter how long it takes, NonoNoNo Hakang has decided to once again become the jokester Kikari and wander the world.

Victory is not something to be rejoicing over. Even in Datang, who appears to be the winner, scars remain.

11 years until the appearance of the reverse machine.
