Ron then explained the specifics of the next phase of development.

"Listen up, all stewards. We are going to start providing unemployment relief in our territory. First of all, stewards must pay attention to the screening of the people in the territory. Anyone who has lived in the territory for more than two years can be asked if they want to join Sandy Territory."

"For those willing to join Sandy's leadership, the R&D manager needs to oversee the provision of sufficient identification documents. If production capacity is insufficient, the identification document process can be outsourced."

Ron recalled his two Magic Crystal Merchant Guild tokens; these magical items were a good way to distinguish his identity.

If the outsourcing goes wrong, it will just mean a few more people will come to collect unemployment benefits and ask for magic crystals. Ron doesn't need those magic crystals right now.

Humans only consider their interests when they don't have to worry about food. The welfare system in my previous life was quite comprehensive.

In the world of Gus, where elementalists are the mainstays, unemployment benefits are even more important as a safety net.

If everyone is free from the struggle to make ends meet, then more people will be willing to compete to increase their elemental strength.

For those with poor talent, improving their elemental strength requires a lot of effort, but this effort is more likely to be about financial resources than actual risk-taking.

To advance to the next level of transcendence, one may have to fight desperately.

The resources needed for this include potions and other items. What happens if you fail? Without becoming an elementalist, you don't have the ability to earn magic crystals like elementalists, and you'll still be in debt...

Unemployment relief is a strong support for the people. You can be in debt, but you don't have to worry about your family's livelihood. Ron uses the credibility of the territory as a guarantee, and from now on, there will be no more intelligent beings in his territory who have to worry about food and clothing.

Ron's territory boasts top-tier productivity, cutting-edge technology, and advanced mechanical engineering, among other things.

The time is ripe; it is better to do this sooner rather than later.

It concerns whether Sandy Territory can have more elemental professionals.

Ron then went on to explain the details: "Unemployment relief will be initially set at 500 low-level magic crystals, enough to feed everyone. Considering the number of people, children and the elderly can benefit!"

As soon as the idea of ​​unemployment relief was mentioned, the manager of the Magic Plant Garden immediately expressed his concerns. Leo stepped forward and said, "My lord, after the unemployment relief is implemented, what will happen to the farmers who grow ordinary crops and stop growing grain?"

Indeed, this is a difficult problem.

If a family sells all its grain crops, it will only have a small amount of magic crystals.

Ron knew that large-scale mechanization would be enough to solve the problem of growing food, but they were unaware of the technology Ron possessed.

With the ability to create even the ultimate Mech Spirit race through mechanical science, large-scale agriculture is a simple matter.

Unable to respond with magic science immediately, Ron spoke of the elven race's abilities: "This lord will negotiate with the elven delegation, and in case of any unforeseen circumstances, magic will solve our problems."

The ability to nurture plants is a natural ability of the elves, making them darlings of nature.

Then the managers raised several more issues, such as difficulties in compiling statistics.

Some officials believed that grain could be purchased from other territories, but tasks such as statistics and distribution were too difficult to handle.

This unnecessarily increased the workload of the stewards, and stemmed from the ingrained mindset of aristocratic retainers: why should they give commoners benefits for free...

Fortunately, Sandy Territory was quite dilapidated back then, and the mentality of noble vassals was not very strong there.

Ron resolved everything with his lordly authority: "These are the tedious matters you need to handle. Why bother asking me, the lord? This method must be implemented. You can only try to find a solution. If you are not capable enough, I will find someone else to manage it!"

"Any more questions?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, sir..."

"..."

The officials had no choice but to obey. However, this decree had a deeper meaning for Nika. In those years, after Nika's tribe fell into poverty, many of her people were starving and struggling to survive.

It turns out... there's something in this world called unemployment benefits...

My lord, you truly live up to your status as the Pope.

God has mercy on mankind!

God perfectly explained Ron's actions. It must be said that the gods' propaganda was very effective: good things were attributed to God, and bad things were attributed to the demons!

It's not over yet!

Ron then asked, "Is our Magic and Martial Arts University finished?"

Nika was primarily in charge of this matter. She stepped forward and took a document from her assistant.

"My lord, the Magic and Martial Arts University was built two and a half years ago. After two and a half years of development, it now has five thousand students..."

It was time for a report again. Nika was speaking, and Ron was listening to the key points.

Five thousand people is still too few. In my previous life, which famous university didn't have tens of thousands of people? But thinking back to the Sandy Territory of the past, the population was only around two thousand! In fact, the changes have been incredibly significant.

The name of the lord is legendary outside...

Ron finally interrupted Nika's report: "Expand enrollment again. Nika, you decide how many more students to enroll. Be bold. Also, the funding for Magic and Martial Arts University can be increased again."

The remaining point is another important one.

Ron casually remarked, "Local students of Sandy Magic University, tuition is waived; you only need to pay for meals."

Meals are available at both high and low prices; students simply pay the corresponding amount themselves.

After five years of free education, even continuing education institutions are tuition-free—that's how generous they are.

Once magic technology advances further, the daily magic crystal card feature will be available, allowing for more refined development.

The current Magic Crystal Cards have a fixed amount and are only recognized by the card, not the person, so they can be considered one of the universal equivalents.

The tuition fees for advanced magic and martial arts training were originally a heavy burden for the students, but Ron waived them outright.

Ron added, "Civilian students from other areas can be provided with loans from Sandy Territory, with the hope that the students can repay the loans with their surplus credits."

Ron was a little curious about this, since these managers weren't offering any other opinions, and the unemployment benefits had been so disastrous before.

Nika, quick-witted as ever, then brought up another report: "The academy held two alumni donation days, and the magic crystals collected..."

After delivering the official report, Nika whispered, "My lord, the young master of Duke Lambe witnessed a miracle and insisted on donating goods of equal value in return... The daughter of Marquis Moore is donating..."

As Ron listened, he had to admit that, to those who truly possessed a lot of magic crystals, magic crystals were really just a number.

They still dare to spout such arrogant words, claiming that something is equivalent to miracles and magic; its value is self-evident.

Nika had originally planned to provide maximum support to Magic Martial Arts University, but unexpectedly, she ended up making a profit in the second academic year.

What a profound heritage! Those hundreds or thousands of noble families have possessed magic crystal mines for so many years; how could they possibly look down on some mundane things?

The older the noble family, the more they understand the value of what they dare call miracles and magic.

If they don't donate something, these families will feel obligated to come to Sandy's aid when she's in trouble, otherwise they'll have something to complain about.

Ron, focusing on a different aspect, asked again, "The process..."

"My lord, rest assured, we will borrow the Miracle Magic from the Church of the Goddess of Magic. Those forces would not dare to learn Miracle Magic in the church, and regarding the faction test..." Nika said.

That's the attention to detail! Ron was very satisfied.

Ron then went on to say the rest: "..."

The rest mainly involves improving the welfare system of Sandy Territory, such as the separate relief standards for martyrs' orphans and civilian orphans, and the standard that those who sacrificed for the territory would be raised by the territory until adulthood, with the standard set at eighteen.

With the elderly receiving assistance, and debtors not incurring the same fate as their families, unemployment relief must be effectively implemented.

In agriculture, large-scale production of magical machinery has not yet been achieved, and Ron has enacted legislation to subsidize farmers with magical crystals.

In short, everything comes down to hair magic crystals; otherwise, where would the people get magic crystals to buy the various magical machines that follow?

Just like back then, when we were building a large-scale project, we gave them a reason to distribute magic crystals and develop the initial stage of magic technology. When the magic crystal vehicle came out, we needed to find people nearby to buy it, and then use the number of people to spread the word.

People, you will have magic crystals to buy new magical weapons.
