Robert POV
I put away my journal and sigh heading out to greet my wife cracking my shoulders and neck to help relieve some of the tension From writing and head to the throne room where I see Anya on the throne and I head up to her with a Stern look on her face.
Anya: "I noticed those little projects outside, care to explain yourself husband."
I swallow with nervousy as she stares directly at me.
"Of course honey...the buildings are ways I plan to stimulate the economy and prevent revolt, many rulers in my world are overthrown for a lack of order and weaker economy."
She gets up before pulling me into a tight hug with my face in her chest with what I assume is a warm smile on her face.
Anya: "Ohh look at you caring for my wellbeing! I knew I loved you for a reason!"
"well...thanks..."
I pull my head out of her chest and she responds by kissing me warmly, and blood goes to the smaller head again.
Anya: "Looks like your happy to see me, so tell me more about how you stimulated my economy."
I sit next to her and take a deep breath.
"Ok then, first I established some learning, the more skilled tradesmen and literate men and women there are the better things in the long run will be, the tradesmen will eventually travel out on their own and establish shops elsewhere leading to more trade as they make names for themselves, and them being able to read and write will allow them to establish themselves better in more environments, and the more blacksmiths we have for example, the faster and better we'll be able to equip our military forces."
Anya: "So what your saying is that more trade is better for our military and economy."
"Yes! And due to a better equipped military we'll have an advantage in several tactical situations, and I went through military records and found many older soldiers with experience and a good record in combat and tactics and reassigned them to not only train troops but provide tactical training to troops which will improve the chain of command which strengthens the military overall because it's coming from men with experience."
Anya: "Wonderful! The stronger the military the better"
"I also reduced taxes on the poor so they can establish themselves as citizens and actually taxed the rich since they actually have money to spend and that has allowed the economy to somewhat stabilize, alongside allocating a few guards to merchants to travel out and find new cities and kingdoms which will stimulate trade which will stimulate the economy after awhile."
Anya: "I can't say I completely agree with the first decision, but I love the second one, I've been meaning to establish trade routes for awhile now but I haven't gotten to it."
She seems overjoyed with it so far. Let's see how we go from here.
"And the next thing I did was establish new ways of practicing medicine and people to study it so the rate of disease killing people is reduced and the bloodletting and amputation helped kill people. I used things from my world to assist in medicine. And I established basic food safety and waste disposal to help prevent the spread of disease and setup an organization, which for now is small, but I'm hoping eventually it'll get larger and spread helping our people get proper safety precautions in place."
Anya: "So....you helped us prevent and treat disease through new medicine and safety."
"Yes, because throwing shit in the streets is disgusting. This place needed basic plumbing. And for people to be able to wipe their ass so that helps."
Anya: "Well I'll believe you husband."
"I even did do some punishment changes because killing someone for thievery is just ridiculous, so now they'll be imprisoned for a period of time in a dark cell that's designed to be hard to escape from. I even setup a standing police force of sorts, and one of the most strict generals when it came to corruption as the leader, or commissioner of them."
Anya: "Those punishments have been there for generations. Why did you change them."
"To reduce the amount of people being killed which increases the amount of men able to work and join the military."
Anya: "hmm....that makes sense. So, explain to me what a police force is dearest."
"Well, a police force is a group of people who are tought the law and are tasked with enforcing it and keeping the people safer, which will overall improve how people see the monarchy so it reduces the risk of rebellion, and since the people in it have basic training compared to the military it will provide troops that are faster to train in the future. And I setup new ways to keep track of things in several areas of work because information is a weapon we can't afford to lose. And increasing the number of literate people does improve information channels. I have been considering establishing a standing post office where people can send packages and letters to each other which improves communication and the information network"
Anya: "Incredible. You really do care about these people. So what's all the construction?"
"Well, one is basically a headquarters for the police force to work from, it also acts as a temporary prison until one is built, a hospital because the current one is a bunch of tents. And then school buildings which will be safer environments for people to learn in and provide the facilities needed to do whatever trade their learning, which is farming, trading as merchants, and doctors to tend to the people, with the other school building being for reading, writing and the possible inclusion of other subjects, it teaches it to children too so they grow up literate."
Anya: "Well, you put a lot of thought into this."
"I didn't sleep for several days doing this. I've been reading reports, finding and establishing new construction sites, designing the buildings and likely teaching people to design buildings in the future because our current designers are kinds idiots."
Anya: "Aww poor honey, come here, let me embrace you."
I sigh and sit on her lap as she gestured for me to and lean against her as she hugs me.
