First of all, it's the land we'll be giving the territories as a living infrastructure. How much do you think you'll need?

　Currently, those who were residents before the invasion of Zhuzhou City Hall have been given two layers of territory in Hakui - 28.26 × 2 = 56.52 k㎡ as residential areas. When Shuzu City Hall was attacked, those who became residents were given three layers of land--84.78k㎡--for residential areas.

"Can I ask you one question?
What?

　The canon raises its hand and asks for a statement.

　Or should I include the 80,000 people who have been evacuated to the inner part of Pearl Harbor who are to become territorial residents?　And furthermore....do you want to take into account the ever-increasing number of lords after that?

　It was a good question for the canon.

''Just think of it as about 123,000 people, including the humans who have taken refuge in the depths of the Pearl River, plus an additional 120,000 or so. After we make the humans in the depths of Zhuzhou into territories, the number of territories won't increase enormously for a while.
Hm?　Why not!

　Kotetsu reacts to my answer.

'Why do you mean...?　The rationale for setting the number at 120,000?
'No!　After that!　Why aren't there more lords in the area for a while?　Will you refrain from invading...?　Or--are you going to kill all of humanity and advance the high road?
What if I said the latter?

　I smile nastily and return the question with a question.

"Well, that's........I'm........one of Mr. Theon's........subordinates....... The people who have become my people the demons who have joined me and the people who have become my friends I have no choice but to obey in order to protect my family, Rina, don't I? .....

　Kotetsu answers my question as if to squeeze it out.

''If possible, I would have liked my name to be included in that subject to be protected, but...''

　I chuckle and continue with my words.

'To get back to the point, the answers to Kotetsu's questions are different for both of us. However, it's true that the latter is more likely to be the case.
What do you mean?
'On the contrary, I ask you... would the Kotets have surrendered to me without Lina?
That's not...

　Kotetsu looks in anguish at my question.

That's the answer. This time, the person who happens to be the mainstay of the opposing forces - Kotetsu's family was under my command. With Lina's presence, Kotetsu surrendered, and with Kotetsu's surrender, many human beings surrendered. Furthermore, as a result of the surrender of many human beings - even more human beings have surrendered.
You're lucky to have Lina-san on board.

　The canon lets out a fluent impression of my words.

''This chain of events is not over yet. The human beings who have taken refuge in the depths of Zhuzhou have lost their will to fight from the beginning, and with Kotetsu and the others having surrendered, the 《Governance》 will easily proceed. This time, they were just lucky. For example, would the humans in Kanazawa City accept my recommendation?　Will the humans in Toyama accept my recommendations?　
Okay. I understand.

　I ended with a smile, and the cottagers understood my words.

'Back to the point, how much land do you think you need to give to 120,000 lords?

　Returning to the topic at hand, I turn my gaze to Kotetsu, the only former human (Lowe) among them.

120,000 people..... We only need about 1/5th of the land in Suzu City to live there.
Suzu City has an area of about 250 square kilometers, but it's only about 50 square kilometers if it's one fifth of that.

　Kotetsu's words are followed up by his former teacher, Yataro.

'Just to live in........ What happens when you include other uses?
Depends on the application. How far do you think Lord Theon requires of his people?

　Was it better to decide what to let the lordsfolk do before deciding what land to allocate to them?

''Yes........''

　I picture in my mind the tasks I require of the Lords.

'Farming for self-sufficiency as a necessity ... defense and invasion for those who can fight. Production for those who have special abilities in the production system. Then, to not rely on smelting for everything - construction and industry. Is there anything else?
Industry is a very broad term. How far do you think Theon would like to go?

　Yataro asks.

'Can you make a car, for example, if you have the materials?'

　There are all sorts of machines in human civilization. I can drive a car, and I understand the mechanics of it somehow. However, if I'm asked to build one I'm completely out of my depth. This is not only for cars, but also for electric appliances. Fridges, washing machines, air conditioners, computers...I know how to use them, but I have no idea how to make them.

I think it could be done by someone who knows how to make it.
We'll pick up on that later.

　Even with the near-foul special abilities of 《Dominant Domain Creation》 and 《Item Refinement》.......it was still hard to build a country from scratch.

''A dominant realm where all levels except one level and the deepest level are residential areas, a dominant realm where all levels except one level and the deepest level are agricultural districts, and similarly, a dominant realm where all levels except one level and the deepest level are industrial districts. All of these dominant regions are connected by the [Transfer Device]. How's that?
That area of control is the area of control you acquired in the Reign, isn't it?

　The control territory taken from humanity with the 《Ruling》 and the control territory taken from the Demon King is different in size.

''That's right.''
The current level is 18, so it's 16 x 28.26 = 452.16 sq. m. The agricultural and industrial areas will be the same, so it's quite a large area of land. The agricultural and industrial districts will be of the same size, so it will be a rather large area of land.

　The canon gives a specific number while operating a calculator app on his phone. When said in numbers, it seems like a rather excessive amount of land for 100,000 people.......

''If we [rule] all of Zhuzhou City, the number of controlled territories that will become safe zones will increase considerably. Shall we prepare a similar control area for demons as well?''

　It would be a shame to keep the land in surplus, so he chose to use it extravagantly.

''Sorting out the lords' uses, Kotetsu, Yataro. Can I leave it to the two of you?
"Mm.
You're a little rough around the edges...

　Kotetsu nodded with a divine look on his face, and Yataro agreed with a wry smile.

''The next item on the agenda is--''

　I was to tell the three of them what was next on the agenda.
