Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

Now that I have successfully secured the vanguard of a hellish invasion operation, I have made sincere and sincere plans to dictate the next one shortly after my break.

The pioneer was a very important and valuable liaison, as well as a pigeon.

The next blade that follows is gold.

Anyway, this desperate plan is desperately short of money.

Supplies are fine if you don't get the money. I mean, the supplies are fine.

Money is only an intermediate means of obtaining supplies, so I want supplies as much as I can save time.

I say things like decorating supplies, but it's time for dinner.

The fields in Ajol village are so desolate that they cannot be recovered without replanting them.

Naturally, if that happens, all crop production will have to be interrupted, and in the meantime the villagers will need enough food to eat.

It's inconvenient, but people can't live without food.

Shouldn't mankind evolve a little more conveniently?

Good luck, evolution. The law of energy conservation is broken.

While sending Yale to the long history of biology, I was explaining the situation to Itsuki and asking him.

"So, I'd like to run a large-scale test of an agricultural improvement plan, but how much budget can I expect?"

"Wait, wait, wait, we're talking too fast!

Mr Itsuki stops me after explaining in a rush.

Damn, I couldn't get you to consider it with momentum.

He knows where to stand and think calmly on behalf of the lord.

I lowered my head while hiding my inner tongue with a smile.

"I'm sorry. It's getting hot."

"Hmm.... isn't it quick to switch to the hot one?

It's my fault.

Mr. Itsuki invites me to a chair for the reception by having his servant prepare tea.

The report of the Expeditionary Corps is in the hands of the Emperor's deputy who takes a breath with tea for a moment.

"If I'd been surprised to hear that I got my report back from the expedition in the next two days, I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to go further with my plans."

"Good work."

"I'm surprised you did your best."

By the way, as a result of the hard work, Miss Micah and Miss Renge are all down.

I also washed my face before entering the Lord's Office, but there were dark bears on the surface.

Anyway, good luck.

"So, Ajol Village is the most serious, and the current state of the field is not enough to maintain the village....."

Mr Itsuki glanced at me after reading the main points of the report.

"Are you okay? I'm doing an agricultural test here."

I'm worried about that, right? Where are the chances of success?

That's why I have the answers.

"If it wasn't okay, I thought it was okay."

Huh?

To be clear, the village of Ajol is a limitless settlement just waiting to collapse.

In the unlikely event that the results of the agricultural test fail a great deal, it can be said that the one that was supposed to be zero was only zero.

On the other hand, if this succeeds, one village that was supposed to disappear will be rebuilt.

For Border Territories, success is a bargain, but failure is not a loss.

And no matter where you fall, you get valuable test data.

"There may not be any advantages to doing it in Ajol Village, but it has fewer disadvantages than doing it elsewhere."

"I see. As always, you're good at highlighting the good side of things."

After being impressed while stroking his chin, Mr. Itsuki thinks again about the implementation of the plan.

"For the manure compost test, the rebellion of those engaged in the work and those who tasted it was problematic. Sure, if it's stuck, it's hard to refuse even if they say it's going to be a dump compost test site."

That's part of the goal. Those who drown say they also scrape at straw.

"Besides, if it fails, there is a reason to hesitate to reduce the crops that should have been harvested in the field, but it is easy to implement if the yield is divided by the required amount from the source."

If damage is to be done anyway, it is crisis management that reduces the damage. I was worried about it.

"Hmm. Sure, if we're going to have to do a manure compost test someday, the village of Ajol seems convenient."

"Now, can you consider the budget?

Hmm, let's consider it.

However, Mr and Mr Itsuki retrieve another material from the executive desk.

"I can't afford it very much. This year, there are other new attempts that cost money... and this is a suggestion from Ash."

It was about the leader's portable diet. That being said, I am nothing but a gold eater.

I want to eat more.

So, is there anything we can do to make money?

I don't have much trouble with that.

Itsuki leaks a bitter smile, releases the material and sips tea.

That's right, I'll put my mouth on tea too.

"If the alcohol lamp had worked, I could have expected money from Quid again."

Is that it? I talked to Quid, but he said it would be a good gift. Produce a small amount and make it a souvenir for us. "

"Do you use it for social purposes?

"Hmm. Send it to my father in King's Landing and he'll use it well. Because tomorrow's rare item is something to talk about. It can also show the power of the territory."

"I see. It's an appeal for technical and developmental skills."

I only thought of it as a practical product or commodity, but it seems that it can also be used for silent pressure in diplomacy.

There are many ways of seeing things in the world.

As I was impressed, Mr. Itsuki continued his words with a somewhat happy face.

"When I came to the influence of the flight model made by Ash and the others, the King's City trembled. Thanks to this, my family was treated lightly with the surrounding countrymen, but lately my father is in a good mood to speak a lot louder."

That said, Mr. Itsuki stopped his words once he remembered.

"Speaking of which, I don't think you told Ash. As for the establishment of the territorial reform chamber, my father said," I want to proceed in the name of Uncle Sacramento. "

"It was my first time hearing that. I knew it was thanks to Itsuki-sama's mouth."

"Of course, I recommended it, but my father... no, he likes you, too."

"It's an honor. I have to thank all of you for helping me."

But I want you to tell me that kind of important thing sooner.

If the great man finds out that he likes it, he'll be able to move more boldly.

This is an opportunity for me to ask Mr. Itsuki a question and tell him about his real father, His Excellency Mr. Border.

As the lord of the border, he is also a military-strong man, like Mr. Itsuki.

He now entrusts the territory to the next lord, Mr. Itsuki, while he is in charge of diplomacy and resides permanently in King's Landing.

Arthur was supposed to be the son of his late wife, whom he had taken after the transfer to King's Landing.

I can tell right away that it's strange when I think of my age. Isn't the disguise miscellaneous?

However, it seems that there is no penetration into that miscellaneous disguise.

In aristocratic societies around King's Landing, there are a lot of "daughters and sons who don't fit."

I might be able to make a lot of money in detectives who specialize in cheating. If I set the blade and funeral at the after-sales service, I have a feeling that it will sell foolishly.

How about a golden policy?

... I don't know.

It sounds interesting, but it's decided to get caught in a mess and die.

Regardless, it is interesting to hear from Mr. Itsuki about the King's Capital.

For example, the standing position within the kingdom of my frontier territory.

She said that she would be treated lightly as a rural person, but the status of Borderbell is quite high, and the family is not lightweight.

Though it has become completely thin, it seems to have even the blood of the royal family.

The jealousy around there was mixed up, and it seemed ironic that the central aristocracy, or urban aristocracy, who had territory around King's Landing, told me the truth.

On the contrary, it is popular among the local aristocracy who are treated as rural people in the same way.

In other words, you can watch from the middle aristocracy.

I see, Uncle Frontier also seems to have a lot of trouble.

"Oh, it's just physically far away from the king, and it gets worse in King's City. If a regional territory like ours were to replace a castle wall, we would be able to live in peace in King's Landing."

"Arthur also said that King's City has a conservative part in a bad way."

A letter from King's Landing also said that it misses the liveliness of the border area.

After all, King's City seems to be as conservative as ever.

Yeah? Speaking of which, Izuki, even in the King's Landing, are new things like alcohol lamps welcome? I don't feel like much of what I said. "

"Ah, as for the central nobility, even if you pay attention and be vigilant, it seems that the reception is bad. I don't think it's elegant or light. But like us, the local aristocracy is in King's Landing, right? There may be a rebellion against the central nobility, but they like new things a lot."

Is that what Arthur said, the spirit of adventurers and pioneers?

No, I've come to socialize in the middle, so I might want to know how you feel.

How dare you say that, unlike in the middle, where artifacts flow freely, many places only contain certain information if they remain silent.

From a local aristocracy point of view, it is better for horses to talk to people in similar situations than people who make fools because their place of origin is beyond their control, and perhaps solutions can be found from similar difficult stories.

If the center is cohesive in the center, it is natural for the regions to be cohesive in the regions.

"My Sacramento neighborhood is a recent epidemic among these local aristocracies. After a while from the flight model, I was busy pulling from here and there, and I was blurred in a letter."

Oh, have you caused the great one unnecessary hardship?

I wondered about the likelihood of the big guy, but Itsuki laughed strangely and added.

"But I don't think it's a lot because I wrote once about the recent situation in the Territory Reform Promotion Office."

Are you sure you want to do it more and more?

"So negotiating with people who like these new things is easy to carry, right?

"Ah, Uncle Frontier will be willing to do the same."

In that case, there is a way to make money.

"I received seaweed from a territory facing the sea before, but can we negotiate with the people in that territory?

Speaking of which, it happened. You think you can do that?

"I see, I see. So there was also a territory near the famous mountain as a hot spring area, right?

"Oh, there is. You know very well."

Baths are quite luxurious in this world, so one day I wanted to relax in the hot springs.

When you're done going to hell this time, I'd love to go to the hot springs and relax for about a month and enjoy the hot springs. Of course, take everyone to hell.

Imagine a reward and I was motivated.

For that reason, we must work hard now.

"Dear Itsuki, why don't you transfer some of the technology we have to other territories?

"Technology."

Suddenly Mr. Itsuki's expression clouded.

Even with a good relationship between me and Mr. Itsuki, it was a delicate problem that suddenly became so negative.

"Indeed, thanks to Ash, there is more technology than any other. Still, I don't want to give it away too lightly."

"I know how you feel. However, depending on the object, I think you can sell it at a higher price if you release it now.

Even a flight model will come up with something similar in time. imitation is much easier than creation.

Of course, it would be a shame to let go so easily of the monopoly advantage.

Therefore, after gaining profits in a relatively exclusive state, it is most profitable to earn technical fees and favors by gently teaching the surroundings.

The salted plum is very difficult, though.

"You talked a little bit about that. Well, this time I'm thinking about a technology that is difficult to use even if we have it, so it would be more helpful if you bought it from another territory. It's not an exclusive technology."

"Really?

"Yes, I hear the technology is available to luxury merchants around King's Landing."

Having said that, Mr. Itsuki also seemed to know what he was referring to.

"Soap. Speaking of which, did the seaweed from the beach use it to make soap?"

"That's right. It was necessary to make solid soap, so I took it back."

I had reported that it had been completed successfully, but it was clear because mass production was not possible.

It seems that Mr. Itsuki also thought that there was no problem with the soap technology, and he stroked his chin while brushing it.

"Sure, if it's a soap making technique, we won't have any trouble getting around. Rather, it will be easier to sell, so it will be helpful."

Currently, liquid soap developed in our lab has been converted into almost self-consumption. Because it is obvious that the luxury merchants will move when the goods arrive in King's Landing.

According to the story, it is an abominably luxurious business and comes to heal with the powerful and crush the opponent who is likely to become a business enemy.

It's not just economic, it's physical.

I also have to be careful in cases where there is likely to be a problem with maintaining law and order in the territory.

Thanks to this, the immortal soap appears in small quantities in the neighboring friendly territory.

Mr. Quid lamented that it would be a waste to make more money.

I did not grieve, but I was furious that one day I would have to throw a wicked merchant into the bottom of the valley of sorrow.

And now I'm talking to Mr. Itsuki, and a little idea flashed.

What happens when soap comes out in other territories?

The imperial merchants must look beyond Sakura Border.

No matter how powerful a merchant is or the power behind it, neither his lord nor his lord can win by turning his enemies.

Without the luxury of merchants, soap will begin to circulate everywhere.

The exclusive profits of soap that luxury merchants have maintained will collapse and their power will decline.

That way, even in the Sakura Border Territories, we can shake hands and increase the production and sale of soap.

The emergence of new commodities opens up markets and revitalizes the economy.

More distribution will make the price of soap gradually more affordable.

As the purchasing layer increases and soap becomes widespread, hygiene improves.

Good hygiene also has a good impact on people's health.

Healthy people become labourers and cope with the workforce required by expanding economic activity.

With the exception of the luxury merchants who will be floating around in King's Landing, we can see a future where no one will lose.

Me and Mr. Itsuki meet Niconiko face-to-face through Niyaniya. A little evil Nico face.

"Even so, the laughter will make us laugh, but can we also get a reward for teaching us how to make soap?

"Exactly. You may also feel a lot of gratitude."

"Good, good. We need to carry the story well, but it's worth the trouble."

With Mr Itsuki perfectly excited, I began to look at him.

So, Mr. Itsuki?

"Whoa, leave it to me."

I have received a reliable reply.

The tiredness of staying up all night is a sense of accomplishment that blows away.

"Father - I will send a letter to Uncle Frontier immediately. Suitable for soap making, and a good paying territory, right?

"Yes, if seaweed is available, you can make solid soap that's convenient for your phone, so it's easier for merchants to handle. If you're in a hot spring area, you'll need as much soap as you want for guests who come to the baths."

"You've been thinking about it since the beginning! A boulder, Ash! I'm happy to have a quick man!

"I don't think it's as good as me with a boss who can talk!

Uplifted, we work out a detailed plan for the distribution of soap manufacturing technology with the same momentum.

He was mainly bothered by the question of where to set the desired conditions and minimum requirements for the negotiation of the Sakura Border Guard, which will be presented to King's Landing.

When it was finished and returned to me, the new Asahi sun was rising.

For me, I think the third sun was perhaps the color of hell's sun.

But I think we'll manage to get the funds we need for the plan.
