"Happy New Year, Carlos."

"Ah, I'll keep asking, Ars. Your brothers seem to have a good family lineage to create magic. I want you to work hard from now on."

"Yes, my brother's part-time Armor Reinforcement is quite powerful. It will certainly help keep Fontana at peace."

"To protect you. Looks like you're not aggressive. The perimeter map will change dramatically this year, starting with my Fontana. You can't keep up with the move like that?

"To be honest, the Knights of Barca want to build strength by doing good housework."

"Hmm. You dare to build up your strength without moving. That would be worse. However, it is possible that the movements around it do not allow it. Just be ready to move at any time."

"Okay, Carlos. But when will the battle be over? I fight every year....."

"... don't you know who triggered the fighting that has been going on every year in Fontana for the last few years?

"I don't know, I don't know. Ah, more than that, Carlos, that dish looks great on you. You were quick to tailor your clothes with a new fabric made of barca. I'm thrilled with this Arus with a great sense of clothing, yes."

"... well, good. This is a good quality fabric. That's what Liina just admitted."

"Sure, sure. The goat's hair was rigorously sorted to fit Liliner's glasses, leaving only the finest soft left in the fabric. Other than that, we only supply and sell to Balkan soldiers, so the fabrics from Balkans are quite valuable."

"Well, I see. Does it increase its rare value by selecting and treating it according to strict criteria? Do you think the numbers are going to match?

"Limited to a small number of productions. I can accommodate Carlos as much as you want.

I see. I think this is a fabric that can also be used as a noble dress. If you negotiate with other nobles, you will be delighted as a gift. It would be nice to have some dough. "

"I see. Then let's get it ready. If the aristocrats use it, it will only increase the value of this Balkan fabric."

In the snow, even my part-time brother and I were fighting ghosts in the woods.

As a result of the constant battle to freeze to death, the part-time brother finally learned his own magic of remembrance.

And by then, I had never seen a demon move in the woods.

Looking at that, I decided that the risk of encountering demons caused by the reduction of forests due to exploitation had been considerably reduced, and ended the demon extermination.

Soon afterwards, the winter deepened and turned into a new year.

In doing so, there was an annual event called the New Year's greeting to the main person.

Now I live in the city of Fontana, and I went to Carlos' castle that morning to say hello.

I talked to Carlos a little longer than I did with the New Year's greetings in the last few years.

Within that, I noticed Carlos' appearance.

Apparently, they used a new Barca Knight's product, Barca Fabric, to tailor their clothes for the day.

He is dressed and greeted by knights in Fontana territory.

This is good publicity.

From now on, when you move between banquets and talk to other knights, you will actively appeal to this fabric.

That's how my 12-year-old started.

"Lord Ars, you look well."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Peeta. I'm glad you're doing well too. What about the Ulk Territory after that?

"Ah, Pessie, who was supposed to be the next owner, died. Looks like you're confused. However, our movements seem to be quite vigilant. Of course, they won't attack."

"Well, that's good."

"Hmm, it's because of Barca's work last year. Thanks to your efforts, I was able to cut off the Ulk territory. Let me thank you."

"I did my best in the last fight. I'm glad Lord Peeta was helpful."

"Thank you so much. So, there's something I want to talk to you about, okay?

"What's wrong, change it?

"Hmm, actually, last year's wheat harvest was better than we expected. That's fine, but it's too much. It takes too long to de-grain....."

"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, did you do the grain removal manually? I forgot to do it more efficiently in Balka."

"Yes, that's right, Lord Ars. Isn't there a way for Balka to degrain or mill without more hassle? Can't we introduce it in Eindrad?

"Hmm, I just need to make some tools for grain removal, but I'm going to make a windmill for the mill, but can I build a building?

"Oh, you can build it if you want."

"I see. Think about it.... but is there anything else I can do for you, Mr. Peeta? I am still thinking of sending people to each Knights Leader in Balka this year, but it would be helpful if there were ideas on how to solve the problems and make money in the future."

"Don't ask me so much, you are. Normally, if you get in trouble, you don't want to tell the other knights. But the trouble is that it may be a little shaded, but there are some things I think."

"Oh, what is that, Lord Peeta?"

"Money."

"... what?

"It's gold, Ars. I don't have any money, no knights."

"... you're a knight, right? You have territory, right? Do you ever have no money?

"Yes. Ordinary knights let the people deliver harvested crops, such as wheat, to run their territory. And I sell the wheat for cash instead of what I need. Honestly, few knights have so much cash."

Ah, is that what happened?

"It happens often, actually. Moreover, there have always been battles and mobilizations in recent years. In fact, I am also being consulted by knights who are close to me. I want to make Balka's agricultural land development my own territory, but I can't pay for it in cash."

"Hmm, even if you say so, it's troublesome whether you're paid with wheat or something. Then we'll talk about selling the wheat, cashing it out, and then asking for it."

I see. I don't want to ask you to send someone to reward me with wheat. But I just wanted you to know that there is a reality that it is difficult for people with low cash income to hire a job. I'm sorry. "

"No, I didn't think about it until I heard Peter's story. Thank you for the information."

I see.

I heard a good story.

Again, it is important that we actually meet and discuss this way.

I couldn't believe it, but apparently there is a real problem with the lack of cash income in that knighthood.

It seems that there are sales proceeds of specialty products in some places, but basically wheat harvested that year is the knight's income.

I wonder what I intend to do if I fail.

Or perhaps that's what we're fighting for if we don't make it.

Think about taking away other lands, or letting the dead die and mouthing down.

However, I may have something to do with the other Knights' lack of money.

After all, I was the one who made the toll tax, one of the pillars of the revenue stream, go away.

But this information only seemed to me like new money stories were rolling in.

Quickly, I started thinking about how to make money in the future.
