A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

in the office of the Third Prince family.

"Mr. Takeo, I don't even know what that means...

This is a complicated connection.

Leila says as she looks at the blackboard.

"Right.

This artificial lake is the top priority for me, followed by agriculture.

Takeo explains while referring to artificial lakes and agriculture.

"Mm-hmm... but this transport ship over here has something to do with it, too, right?

"Right.

I'm willing to ship from the realm once the redfish farming is successful, so you can go talk about the transport.

Well, not only aquaculture, but transport ships are directly connected to everything, but ideally they can be delivered a day or two faster than the front carriage, so priority may be high.

"Mr. Takeo.

Successful farming of red fish reduces imports from our brother?

"Well... what do you think..."

Takeo wraps his arms around Alma's question and worries.

"... Mr. Takeo, is that a troubling thing there?

It must be the same red fish, right?

Jesse asks.

"Um... we're already talking on the assumption that we've got a farming business... red fish that can be taken at sea and red fish raised in the river.

I don't know if it really tastes the same (...).

In short, the river's red fish are immersed in water, and the sea's red fish are immersed in sea water.

Raising it alive no matter how big it is with the sea red fish swimming even more freely.

It can also be worn differently.

"Mm-hmm... that could be true.

But you don't know because nobody's ever done it.

Alma puts her hand on her chin and thinks.

"Yeah. I don't even know how long an ecological survey might take.

Your Highness Alma, have you been able to identify where the red fish lay their eggs?

"Hmm... I think there was a report in the ocean, in the river, in the lake... no, it could have been a description of the habitat.

You may not have seen any detailed literature on spawning.

"Then we have to look from the literature around there.

Do I have to talk to Count Elvis to figure out if I can make it exclusive?

Takeo worries about "Nh".

"Well, it was about a few years ago, so I guess I can't help thinking about it now.

The best is the artificial lake so far.

There will be no problem because we will just be able to load it.

"No, no. Mr. Takeo, you're going to make agricultural water, right?

We'll be in trouble if we cut back on the current amount of water.

Jesse asks.

"There's... there's a river in the mountains, so I made plans to rendezvous from it and increase the amount of water... but I'll go check it out and think about it.

I was wondering if I could think of something else if I couldn't.

"Oh, you're thinking about water sources.

"Yes. Count Elvis has also told me not to lower the water volume.

Therefore, I am also thinking that I will have to look for water sources for agricultural water.

This is still a long way to go, too.

Next to what Takeo would say, Alice said, "Master Takeo, you've built a concrete action plan, haven't you? He looked at Takeo thinking."

"Hmm... for now, you mean the Elvis family has a policy of creating artificial lakes.

William says.

"Yes, Your Highness William.

And then... you're chasing them.

So, Erica. I heard something. I told you earlier, what's wrong?

"Mr. Takeo, how much do you expect a cereal called rice to grow?

Could it be a specialty on Elvis territory?

"... Erica, what are you thinking?

Takeo says as he thinks.

"No... I'm interested because it's a new cereal (...).

And I heard it was the staple food at Mr. Takeo's place.

I wonder if I can do something sweet (...).

Besides, if it's a staple, there are going to be many ways to eat it.

"Hehe, Mr. Erica.

As it stands, the amount you make is small, and you don't know if it will be a specialty.

I believe that self-sufficiency in Elvis territory would probably be improved if rice could be successfully made.

"What is self-sufficiency?

Erica asks.

"Simply put, how many inhabitants can live with the production of the main cereals in the territory, such as wheat and rye.

Elvis territory is currently taught about 85%.

So I hope in a few years I will be able to make 5% to 10% less rice and increase my self-sufficiency.

"Mr. Takeo, is rice a substitute for wheat?

"Wheat has the hassle of being processed by the time it is breaded after being floured, but rice uses rice itself, unlike wheat.

It's only cooked with water, so it's less hassle.

Well, I think it's better to root for rice a few times a month or so than an ingredient that turns into wheat.

Plus, I feel good in the stomach, and depending on how it is processed, it can be done in a way that you can just carry it and add hot water, so it's user-friendly.

"Huh? Should I just add hot water?

That's easy to cook.

"Prefabrication is necessary, though.

Wheat takes a lot of time to prepare underneath.

Well, I thought I'd make it around there before I think about it.

"Hmm... Mr. Takeo's policies are getting better and better.

Can we have that rice wholesaled?

Leila asks.

"If you can make it well and have an increased production system, right?

"Hmm... this is years from now too.

Erica, maybe we could make some rice.

"Yes. I just have to ask you to tell me the results of the creation on Elvis territory.

Erica nods at Leila's words.

And the butler came and said, "Dinner is ready," and this gathering was broken up.
