How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Episode 2 English Subbed

Marx puts Kazuya through an aptitude test to see if he can use magic. Kazuya discovers his magic can copy his consciousness into objects which then behave as if they are him, so he enchants pens to do his paperwork. He also puts assistants to work identifying overspending and fraud in the kingdom’s budget. Kazuya then invites Liscia to Elfrieden’s farms where he explains too much farmland is growing cotton, which is now worthless due to supply exceeding demand. While Liscia is impressed with his insight, she seems concerned Kazuya still talks about one day abdicating and returning to Japan. Kazuya later meets Captain Ludwin of the Royal Guard and explains Albert’s advisors are not of much use as they caused Elfrieden’s problems in the first place, so he needs new advisors. Kazuya magically transmits a message to the entire kingdom, based on the teachings of his hero, Cao Cao, that if anyone has an exceptionally useful skill he will hire them regardless of age, social background or level of education. This inspires the whole kingdom and hundreds of people begin flocking to the city to audition their skills.
