The people don't seem to be struggling and seem happy, but clearly improvements could be done to have their lives be more wealthy, i.e. produce more to then have more ressources for the conflicts to come. The anime doesn't deal with that aspect at all.
It's not a bad show, but uses an idealized idea of how to solve the coming conflicts.
On another note, I think all the assisting side characters have now been gathered? So the second half of the show will probably deal with introducing conflict and actual antagonists.

Well, he did say they were a pretty average province

I think there's still the leotard lady and the ponytail guy (?) but we've probably got the core retainers now.

His suspicions about her were logical considering the literal numbers he had. She's either a master manipulator or more likely genuine in what she told him, considering her reaction after stepping out of his room. |
I think she is a master manipulator but fell in love with him as the one person who saw through her and was 100% genuine, so now she's using that manipulation to his benefit.
