"... disaster preparedness seems to be going a long way. Thanks to your grandfather."
Read the materials at hand while listening to reports from the merchants who undertake the works.
Water damage control is important for the Duke of Almeria, which faces the sea and has several rivers flowing in its territory.
Your grandfather has been hit with measures to minimize the damage to water damage early on.
How do we develop a richer self-government...... some of us can think of measures to do so, but we don't hear much about taking action against such risks in this world, which may happen, but may not happen until decades and centuries away.
Especially natural disasters, the idea of 'no choice' has come to pass once it has happened.
Before the great power of nature, there is nothing a man can do about it.
Are you saying that you are pushing the problem ahead against an event that may not happen, no, it is unthinkable that it will happen?
... My grandfather, who had worked out measures to see if he could do something about it early on, would have really thought of the people and loved the realm.
And your father took it over, and I'm putting my hands on it now.
"… and that concludes the report"
"Yes, thank you. I'll give you directions after the deliberation."
"... Dear Iris. Can I ask you one thing?
"I wonder what?
"From what I'm getting a job, it's a very stupid question...... really, does this construction need to be done?
I wonder what that means.
"I have never heard that the two rivers currently under construction were flooded. Would it not be better to do so than to carry out such river construction, for example, by granting subsidies to the opening of the north, or by funding the expansion of the port? I think this territory will be richer."
Leme was coming in, wondering if there was a knock at the time he was uttering the words.
"There have been floods. one hundred and fifty years ago and one hundred years ago respectively."
To the words from the third party that emerged, the merchant turns his attention to Leme as surprised.
"Excuse me. Ma'am, the meeting is ready, so it's up to you to let me know."
"Oh, thank you. Leme."
"... Mr. Lehme, is it? Excuse me, but where did you find out about earlier?
"This is the notebook of the Historical Lord and the report of the time. Hey? Especially since the report says about how much damage was done at the time, and the remedy, so it's good to read inside."
"... you read the report a hundred and fifty years ago? How much would it have been 100 years ago..."
"No, that's not all, is it? I have read all the materials that have remained since the first Duke of Almeria granted this territory."
"No way......"
There is no reason for him to be surprised.
Anyway, I've read hundreds of years worth of material, even if only for what exists.
Reading distracting amounts, even if you imagine it, as a delight is as good as a lemme.
"Especially in the flood one hundred and fifty years ago, which was devastating, two parts of the village sank under the water. Ah. And naturally all the crops have gone bad, so I've managed to get more aid than the state and other territories..."
"Surely if we turn the funds to development, as you say, the territory could be richer. But I wonder if there is any guarantee that there will be no future disasters."
"It's..."
To my inquiry, he clogs the words.
"In your generation, it may not happen. But not for your children? What about your grandson's?... after you wake up, you can't prevent it. I don't want to regret 'Oh I should have done it' or 'This is how I should have done it' then. Are you sure you want to leave it alone, though you might be able to protect it if you move now?
"… reduce the risk that may occur in the future,? I see, I get it. I'm not even a consular officer, but I asked questions that invaded my territory, and I'm very sorry."
"It's fine.... I'm the one to blame. Nothing more than that I have not been able to convey the sincerity of the business I am doing right now. Be sure to ask me questions about what you care about in the future."
"Yes."
