This winter, Sadie and the others are quiet inside the fort without going outside.

You must be thinking about Mu. It's surprisingly sweet. But are the footsteps you hear from the ceiling in the hall hanging out with the kids? There's still something active about you.

Mr. Marian also occasionally looks up at the ceiling and sighs.

In such a hall, Eiril and the others from Hidden Village began to explain as they showed them a note to make the snockout they needed to take care of the silkworms.

"You will grow on it by putting a snockout on a frame of this shape. I think it could be something like a shallow basket."

"Finally, you keep it from falling downstairs. It seems so difficult at first."

The larvae that have just hatched shouldn't even be a few mm. It'll grow soon, but we need to be able to successfully separate the larvae from the feces.

"It's also a problem that I can't move much on my own. This is going to take a lot of trouble."

"The bait only eats mulberries. At first, I want you to use only the buds at the tip of the branch."

At the end of the day, you'll be cutting and giving every branch, but that'll be quite a bit later.

"Is it good in the morning and in the evening? If it gets wet in the rain, it's troublesome to dry it once."

"Because if you're damp, you might get sick. It's definitely going to take a lot of work anyway. But in my hometown, I grew up using the finest room in my house."

I guess it's because it's a valuable cash income. My grandmother called me "The Silkworm."

Ariel and the others were just leaving, and Marianne brought me coffee.

Drinking with us while we enjoy the pipes will be our little luxury in the winter.

"Is it going to work out?

"I can't say anything without trying all this. But where I lived, farmers worked in industry, so maybe it's not that hard if you don't do it the wrong way."

The problem is you didn't see the whole thing. I've only seen this work a few times on TV, and I haven't even done it myself. Will the yarn spin at all...... The village of Mictos is going to be busy next winter.

"Still, it's Master Banter who does something about it. Her Majesty's life does not extend to the previous kingdom of Cardina, but it also seems to me that the lives of ordinary people are in another kingdom."

Is that all that makes ordinary people's lives better?

Then we'll have to keep it that way for a long time. If we don't just maintain it, if we go further, we'll get people's complaints, right?

The canal plan can also provide new arable land, and it is possible to significantly reduce cargo handling to the streets leading to the Kingdom of Tornia.

It appears that the Surveying Unit has already started surveying the area around the Radell River ship yard, so construction will be able to begin in the spring.

More inconvenient than that is the lack of rocky mountains. A bunch of freaks have brought up a plan to process the rock rolling around the Radell River flex and carry it by boat, but we have to think about it if it runs out.

At a tea party with the ambassadors, when I talked about the stone cutter, Mr. Hardelia of the Kingdom of Tornia told me that there was a large stone cutter in Tornia itself.

"It also seems to be in Crabble, but the stone-cutting grounds of the Kingdom of Tornia are cutting off rocky mountains. If it's processed and transported, it can also contribute to the industry of our kingdom."

"It's quite a distance, but if you're going down the street, it won't be that bitter. It's a pain in the ass."

I'm just grateful to know that I can sell it.

Gateways and watergates are difficult to use in the long term unless they are made of stone.

"Can we finally get started...... I would like to involve the craftsmen of my country if I could. I will not go immediately, but I also want to set up a canal in my kingdom in the future. To do this..."

Other ambassadors are nodding at Mr. Tenor's words in Torresti.

After all, I guess I find it fascinating. I can transport luggage and irrigate water at the same time.

"Why don't we send a few guys at a time? It would be good if the banter also had a dedicated group of craftsmen. We can train and build at the same time."

"So do you want to go? The construction focuses on one squadron of engineers and one squadron of other troops. Plus, we'll mobilize peasants and Tundan soldiers from the peasants' days."

Some kingdoms seem to still have slavery, but they do not exist in the Kingdom of Sylvania. I'll give it to the workers. The pay seems cheaper if you use soldiers.

Nevertheless, if there seems to be an impact on the finances, the suspension of temporary work is also in view.

Most importantly, if silk yarn production starts, the treasury will be moisturized. Be patient until then.

"We talked earlier about Tunda soldiers joining us, can we get the cotton yarn supply as it was last year? The number of looms has increased, and last year the kingdom of Tornia created a workplace for cotton textiles."

"The area of construction will increase from last year. The participation of Tunda soldiers is limited to peasant days only, so don't worry."

Torresti's ambassador gives me a relieved look. It seems that the textile industry is becoming entrenched in that town.

Next year we have to build a loom that can weave silk. That would also determine the thickness of the yarn. At first I want to spin silk yarn a little bit thinner than cotton yarn.

"The pottery cup I showed you before was a great one. I didn't think you'd get that kind of product in a deal."

"You'll get it from a merchant from the east. The place it's made in is not so different from silk."

"That's it! The merchant who delivered the cup to Lord Banter came to tell me that Lord Banter might know how to make it. Is that true?

"I know an approximate thing. But I don't think this is that time of year. It is important that we all try the production of silk first. If we do well next spring, we'll be able to put silk threads on this table."

The ambassadors opened their eyes wide to my words.

When..., you must think. I guess that's Sylvania's secret and good.

"When it comes to the production of looms, do you mean?

"I think it's too soon. I don't even know how much I could make. It's going to take shape for now, so you're going to work out a loom while you look at it. Wouldn't it take more than a few years to be used as a traded item?

Still, it seems nice to know that you're within reach. The tea party that day ended with a silk story I haven't seen yet.

"We have to build yarn machines, too. Aren't we going to need a few?

"I believe that the yarn machine itself is sufficient for cotton. But we have to prepare the pan and stove."

If you put the cocoon in hot water, you can break it. You must have struggled until you found that out.

Apart from that, was the way to kill a cocoon sanagi good with boiling water?

If you apply it for too long, the thread will break off, so it seems difficult to match.

Once stored for a long period of time, it will come out as a moth, and then it will not be possible to remove the thread.

You're going to be busy the next winter.

The snow melting of the wasteland around Fort Aldes begins, with a little bit of black soil appearing.

In ten days, the grass buds must grow.

Sadie and the others are starting to get ready to pick herbs, but the baskets and the tools to dig the roots are in the hands of Marianne and the others.

I wonder what the hell they prepare every day, but they have a lot of things in them.

In the Hidden Village, Mr. Eiryl and the others will be waiting for the mulberry sprouts. Nevertheless, a month is likely to go by.

Before we do that, it would be better to go out and take a look at the canal work that has already started. I couldn't help but be concerned because I said something that would widen the canal a little from the beginning if I were to do construction later.

I don't think you're thinking of making it about 5m and combining it for defense, but it should be wider than the 2m width I originally planned.

So the problem becomes the strength of the gate. Water pressure will be applied to the area of the watertight door.

I told you to create two gates where you need them, so widening the canal will lead to larger gates.

Whether or not you can build a massive water gate is the key to the gate.

The idea around here is what I'd expect from a bunch of freaks, but I'm sorry it's time to think about naming them.

I'm starting to feel sorry for what the general public has called a "bunch of freaks" as well as us.

The name I thought of with that in mind was The Academy. Think of it as a college at the top of the university. Surveying units and cartographers should also sign up as members of the Academy.

Their self-esteem must also be satisfactory if they are positioned as the highest court of practical scholarship in the Kingdom of Sylvania.

I have their base in the Old King's Capital, so I guess I'll ask Mr. Zairas for a sign that looks like it.
