Episode 184
Winter has already come to the imperial capital Schwerin.
Since the entire area of Rolmund is a heavy snowfall area, it seems that the lords are always worried about where to go for winter.
If you withdraw into a territory, you will not be able to attend court events and conferences.
"I'm easy going because I leave my territory to my sister and mother. I'm usually leaving the territory because I'm in charge of border defense, and wintering at Noviesk Castle."
Eleora said that she was standing in front of a fireplace that was repaired by Jerilik.
The firewood crackling at the fireplace will be chestnut trees. I used it during my first meeting and apparently loved chestnut firewood.
We have just finished lunch and have a meeting with the main members.
The Jeriks and the werewolf are leaning on the couch, and the Rashi and the sorcerers are crazy about reading Rolmund's magic book.
You always think that if you throw me a whole throw you'll get somehow.
I'll do something.
When I look back at Eleora, she laughs in trouble.
"Sir Kastoniev is likely to be wintering in the Imperial City this year, too, and his worried uncle."
Sir Kastoniev would also be worried if his younger brother's orphans were so dangerous.
I laughed unexpectedly, but I switched the topic because I remembered that I was worried.
"Is it true that Eleora is familiar with agriculture? I was digging potatoes in my hometown, but I don't know when it comes to specialized agriculture."
Eleora shook her head.
"I haven't really messed up with the land. I do not know much about agriculture because the territory management is up to my sister.
Elleora is a scholar, but she specializes in magical engineering.
At that time, Rashii, who was reading a magic book, looked up.
"Is farming so difficult? I feel like I'm going to give me a lot of fertilizer."
Amateurs think so. No, I'm an amateur too.
"The compost breaks down into microbes ... oh, that's, it takes time to get used to the soil, especially in cold lands, and it's hard to get used to it. "
"Hey ..."
According to the previous life, the amount of compost put in the fields in Hokkaido and Okinawa seems to be three times different. Compost is not easily decomposed in cold climates.
So Rolmund's farmers will also be struggling.
Rashi is hiding his face with a book and is angry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't study ..."
"I don't need to be depressed. I don't even know about agriculture."
Rashi is one of the great sorcerers of the Demon King's army, but he does not specialize in agriculture.
It can not be helped. Check the materials?
I spread the handkerchiefs I had at the party. The handkerchief used to draw the line graph.
It wasn't intended, but it's a record of agricultural production in North Lorumund.
It seems that Prince Ivan had forgotten to point out the handkerchief, probably because he was engaged in discussions.
No, maybe they have tolerated me.
Eleora looks at it and makes a mysterious look.
"Sir Weid, what is it?"
"This is a map of agricultural production in North Lorumund. This area represents the years passed and this is the yield."
She looked interested and looked into the handkerchief.
"I see, the plot of the change in yield at a glance can be understood at a glance.
I shake my head.
"No, it's only used by the Demon King's army. It's not confidential, but few people can understand it."
The line chart itself is reported to the dragon race by the first king, so any engineer of the Demon Army can use the line chart.
I don't know the numbers, so if I don't have a report, I can't help but slip.
It has been very helpful. Thank you King.
However, to understand line graphs, some mathematical education seems to be a prerequisite, and it is not widely spread.
If you think about this, the compulsory education of the previous life was quite advanced.
I should have done it a little more seriously.
Eleora seems to have mastered the line graph while I was absorbed in that emotion.
He satisfactorily nods while writing a line on his notebook.
"I see, this is good. I'll use it in my dissertation. It could be used in the output table of the magic wand."
Speaking of which, this was also seen by Prince Ivan.
It may have caused the Rolmunds to gain extra wisdom.
The nobles of this world, especially the Lorumund nobility, have a high learning ability. This is because they have studied certain subjects such as basic mathematics.
Apart from what is like Elleora, Rolmund has a dozen educated nobles in the population.
It will be a threat if modernization begins.
This cannot be overtaken by Miraludia.
Eleora nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly she looked suspicious.
"This figure, the slope is suddenly increasing from here."
"Oh, that's it."
The graph is on its way down, but the slope has increased from about 30 years ago.
When I wrote this, I was so panicked that I didn't notice, but it was exactly what I was told.
Elora, thinking with her hand on her chin, suddenly opened her mouth.
"It's the time that Dniesk's flood control project started. It has been effective in flood control and has greatly helped improve the lives of the people."
"It may have changed something in the basin."
Flood control is closely related to agriculture.
However, because they are much more involved in ecosystems and the like, tampering with rivers at the scientific level of this world can cause unexpected harm.
Little is known about ecosystems and water cycles in this world.
I don't know if it's the same as my previous life, so I'm silent without saying too much.
Eleora shook his head unfortunately.
"If you have a river expert, I can talk to you, but I am not. How about you?"
"No, I couldn't help bringing dragon engineers."
I don't have any river or geology experts. Can you understand a little kite?
In Lolmund, many rivers flow from south to north. The northern wall, which borders with Miraludia, is the source of the water.
It is not known which cause is due to the wide variety of flood control projects conducted by Dniesk.
Fields are also part of the ecosystem, and are greatly affected by changes in water quality, flow, or watersheds.
Again, this is a story from a previous life, but in some cases only two beavers have altered the downstream ecosystem. The dam created by Beaver became a filtration device, improving the water quality downstream.
With that in mind, the number of items to investigate will be enormous.
I thought, then muttered.
"I need more research. It will be a national project."
"But this is under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Dniesk. Even the emperor cannot do arbitrary research on the territory of Northern Lorumund."
Yeah, it's awkward.
"It can't be helped. Prince Dniesk ... No, let's talk to Prince Ivan."
"Are you serious?"
I laughed because Eleora looked surprised.
"I'm trying to get rid of the troubles of Prince Ivan."
It won't have any benefit for Elleora, but it's important for Milardia.
As the land of Rolmund gets richer, you'll never think of ridiculous farmland hopping over the mountains.
For a while, though.
At that time, Elora's deputy secretary, Bolsh, came in. There seems to be some reports.
He usually opens his mouth immediately, and unusually checks his face many times in the room.
It looks like a serious report.
Eleora nods and nods.
"No problem. Report it."
"Hah"
Borsch salutes and concisely states.
"The Emperor has been destroyed."
Has this time finally come?
