Chapter 955
We thought of hiring soldiers
“Well, if we could decrease the number of people living in the slums, it would be a good thing.”
“Yes. This probably won’t do much, but it could also mean less people applying to work on the roads.”
“Indeed. Ractos does need more soldiers and guards. But it will have to be discussed with His Grace first.”
“Of course. We cannot decide on such things by ourselves.”
In the first place, I had no idea if there would be anyone who would volunteer for training to become a soldier.
I had no idea if this would be an effective idea. And I was starting to feel a little worried after saying it. Still, Sebastian nodded, and Claire also seemed to approve.
Well, it was better than doing nothing.
“This isn’t really related to the business of the herb fields. I’m probably acting rather presumptuous towards the duke right now… Ahaha…”
“Not at all. Up until now, nothing had been done regarding the slums that has had a lasting effect. People can only think of ideas that involve force. I suppose father and I just think like that… And so it is good to hear your opinion as well, Mr. Takumi.”
“Lady Claire is right. Besides, you always think of more interesting ideas, whether they are good or not. And so I always look forward to hearing from you. Indeed, I am glad that Nick confided in you on the matter.”
I was starting to feel a little regret, after being reminded that I was in the house of a duke, and making suggestions about how to do things.
However, the other two were not bothered at all. If anything, they said they were amused, and enjoyed hearing my opinion.
