Episode 380: How to Lose a Hidden Field

"That, the existence of a hidden field, has not been confirmed in the territory..."

"No, there must be"

Answer Claudio's questions with confidence.

Where there is territory, there is always a hidden field.

"Me too, I think I do"

Sarah agrees with me.

Theon there pinches his doubts in a nasty way.

"Well, what is a hidden field? Is that like having to get rid of it?

I see. Indeed, it could have been a story unfamiliar to a single scion of artisans at City Guru.

Besides, newcomers who don't know much about the reality of the countryside will need to be briefed once and for all.

"A hidden field is a field erected outside the village fence and personally developed by peasants outside the Lord's jurisdiction. Often poor farmers who cannot have enough farmland in their fences are planting grains and so on to escape taxes or snooze paste"

"But outside the fence is much less reliable than the city walls, isn't it? Isn't that dangerous?

"Right. It's dangerous."

"Isn't it possible to plant crops and other things outside the fence all you want to be roughed up by wildlife and monsters? It's gonna be hard to take care of."

"That's right. If anything, it will be vandalized. The soil may be fat, but even if it is not vandalized, it cannot be said to be sufficiently fruitful because it is difficult to take care of weeds, etc."

"That's it, how could you..."

"Because I'm poor."

In the end, it aggregates into that one word.

"If you're talking about artisan work, you're training at the parent of the guild, and you don't get enough wages to have a family. In that case, what would an artisan do?

"Negotiate with the Parent or speak to the Alliance to change the Parent"

"Right. But farmers cannot move to change their parents because they are tied to the land stronger than artisan guilds. That way, while I know it's illegal, I can't live without a separate job. Wouldn't you?

"I will not do that!

"Well, artisans like Theon rarely think of doing side jobs"

"Right. We specialize in making, but we're not good at selling. If they find out it's illegal, they'll also buy and beat what they make. It's not worth it."

"That's right. Bad things aren't worth it."

"But what do you do with that? It was hard to get rid of the hidden fields, wasn't it?

Before, Sarah said she had failed to eliminate the hidden fields in the countryside.

"Now it's okay. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that."

"So how do you do it?

"Easy. You just have to pioneer around the hidden fields."

If a field outside the village is a problem, you can make that a village field.

If human society spreads, that obliterates the problem itself.

On top of that, the village becomes rich.

"Such an unscrupulous..."

and the newcomers make a frightening appearance.
