Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

In the hall of the lord of Ivaris, in the office...

The city of Ivaris is an agricultural city with a small population but requiring fertile agricultural land outside the castle.

It mainly produced wheat and so on, and all the surpluses were shipped to the free city of Arsenum, which accounted for the majority of the city's financial resources.

In other words, doubling tax revenues may be quick: doubling crop shipments.

So sure, I ask Satie, the girl in the maid's clothes.

"How's the tea taste here?

The white-haired girl, called Satti, begs for forgiveness in haste.

"Also, I'm sorry. Have I put it in the wrong way?

Is it because she was put to work as a slave in the house of the lord of Arsenum, this daughter quickly bends.

I am extremely afraid of damaging my husband's mood.

Whether I abuse her or not, I've never even scolded her...

"No. That's not what I meant. I hear it tastes good or bad."

"Ha..."

When she put on a decent face, she drooped her head feeling sorry for her,

"I'm sorry, I don't know you"

And I apologized.

"I'm not asking for an expert opinion on anything else. I'm simply asking what you think. I need good advice on everything."

"But I've never had a tea drink…, so I can't talk about the flavor…"

"Seriously."

Oh, my God, you're a stupid honest daughter.

Normally, a guy named Nakanaka is commonplace to twitch a hobby in the house while his husband is away.

Crunch the tea leaves while my husband is away, pour in tons of sugar, and enjoy the aroma and thrill.

Sometimes it makes me laugh that I dull bacon and sausage, drink brandy in my dishes, and some women have better skin gloss than my husband.

But I guess that's contraindicated in her.

Was my previous husband so harsh, or was he born?

I felt like the latter one, but there was no point in discussing it, so I advised him to have some tea.

"Nearly drunk, but drink this"

Serve a teacup.

She receives the cup but hesitates to mouth it.

Dye your cheeks a little,

"... that's an indirect kiss"

And I whispered.

And when he tours often, he puts his mouth on the cup.

Two bites, three bites, and a mouthful of tea,

"Delicious."

And he smiled like a flower.

I can't help but notice that smile, but she doesn't seem to have the answer I wanted to hear.

Her thoughts are:

"Sweet."

It was just one word.

Probably never had sugar confectionery or anything.

I guess even a beverage with just two spoons of sugar doesn't seem to taste like anything in the world.

If I give you something that drains sugar, you should just say "bitter" thoughts.

I mean, there's no object to compare, so it's useless to ask her about the flavor.

In the future, her dietary improvements should also be considered.

But it was with me that I didn't know what was good or bad about tea.

For once, as far as knowledge is concerned, tea is also produced in the Ivaris region, to the extent that it is known, but that is about it.

Seeing that it is not valued as a well-known brand among demons and nations, mass production of this was unlikely to lead to a significant increase in tax revenues.

When that happens, will the rest be four-wheeled (Norfolk) farming methods….

It is one of the most efficient agricultural technologies originating in modern Europe.

In this world, binary agriculture still dominates.

By the way, binary farming is a method of alternating the types of crops planted so as not to wither the nutrients from the fields.

I guess this other world has developed magic poorly and agricultural technology hasn't.

If we bring four-wheeled farming to such a world at once, we might be able to double our tax revenues.

"Four-wheeled farming?

Satti has questioned me with a strange face.

"Oh, have I accidentally spoken? I've been thinking about new farming practices in this world. I guess agriculture in this world, after the harvest of wheat, rests the farmland, turns it into pasture, gives its pasture to livestock, and takes meat from livestock"

"Yes, it is"

"But that would give me longer time off farmland. So if you stop that order and grow barley - clover - wheat - turnips, in order, you need to give the field less time to rest. By the way, clovers aren't eaten by humans, they're for livestock."

"Huh? Is that possible?

"Theoretically."

Though the premise is that the soil and crop properties of this world go hand in hand with previous life.

But it would be worth a try.

I quickly issued an announcement to introduce it in some areas.

It usually takes at least a few years to see the effect of this method, but this is a magical world. If it were just an experimental farm, if we magically promoted growth, we would be able to confirm the effects.

"I'm looking forward to it," Satie said when she heard about the experiment.

What I'm looking forward to, by the way, is maybe that will allow me to eat turnip soup every day.

That's the reason, he said.

Oh, man, it's a simple idea.

But I didn't hate that idea.

As I became the new lord of this city, my men, of course, wanted all the inhabitants to have a satisfying amount of bread and meat delivered.
