Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Forestry.

I was in trouble. There is no particular plan.

Because wood is everywhere, there is no need to carry it to the town and sell it. You only need to cut near.

Same for woodworking products. Anything that can be made in this village can be made in any village.

For the time being, we decided to plant trees at the site where we cut the trees for the future, but that does not lead to an increase in income right now. The mayor of Yamamura, who thought there was a groundbreaking proposal like that issued to the agricultural group, was disappointed.

And there is nothing ...

Pia, how about shiitake cultivation?

When I asked, everyone didn't know Shiitake. If there is no actual thing, bacteria cannot be planted in the first place ....

If you get a beast enough to make a large amount of smoked meat or jerky, the number of beasts will drop immediately and the rest will not last.

For the time being, promise to consider the possibility of charcoal grilling and tatara blowing, and make the tea muddy.

In order to find metal ore, he ordered him to notify him immediately if there were any such things, and handed out the ore photos he had printed out to the villagers.

By the way, "Tatara Blow" and "Tatara Steel" are confused and win, but they are different things. "Tatara" is a bellows, and many of the early ironmaking methods using bellows, that is, many of the primitive ironmaking methods used in various parts of the world, are called "Tatara Ironworks". It is.

On the other hand, “Tatara-buki” is a special ironmaking method used in Japan, which produces high-quality “steel” made from sand iron. Jade steel is a high-quality steel used as a blade for Japanese swords, and can take up less than one-third of the iron produced by tatara blowing. The remaining two-thirds or more are low-quality parts used for parts other than blades, daily necessities and other uses.

If we can make branded products with this ball steel.

Mitsuha was hoping for the discovery of a valuable metal ore and for this steelmaking.

And seafood.

The mayor, the representative of the fishing village, was hoping.

Until now, fishing villages had a small number of inhabitants, and fish and shellfish were not kept for days, so they could not be sold or stockpiled outside the territory and had poor cash value, so they were treated poorly by the lord.

However, Mitsuha, the new lord, frequently visits the fishing villages immediately after his arrival, much more frequently than going to rural or mountain villages, asks various questions, and is willing to eat the seafood prepared by the fisherman's wife. Was.

And he showed extraordinary interest in boats and fishing gear.

In addition, Ninet was first employed by a fishing village for a servant of the Viscount Mansion, which had been employed only by residents of the town.

It was easy to expect.

And ...

"First of all, we will strengthen salt production and mass-produce dried seaweed as a commercial product. We will also increase the amount of catch and keep the sun dried, dried, salted, boiled, boiled, smoked, I will make something like a knot. ''

"Oh!"

The head of a fishing village shines at Mitsuha, who has become more talkative than the time of forestry.

On the other hand, two village chiefs of the mountain village who came over.

"In addition, for mass production of dried fish, it is necessary to increase the catch in the first place. Therefore, we are improving the net and constructing new fishing boats."

"Ooh oh!"

The mayor gives a joyful voice to Mitsuha's proposals beyond expectations.

For Mitsuha, the fishery was a delicious and quick-growing industry.

Cast net, gill net, trawl net. In coastal waters where the water quality is not polluted, seine nets for migratory fish could also have a reasonably stable catch. Also, if full-fledged fishery is hardly developed, you can expect a large amount of net fishing if you go a little offshore. In addition, it can be expected that there will be no treasure trove of fish, and that it will be caught by fishing.

Mitsuha initially knew that he could bring nets and fishing gear from Japan. Otherwise, it takes too much time to prepare. If the nets brought in show an effect, they will naturally study the construction of the nets and try to make similar ones. The same goes for fishing equipment.

Hune ...

You can buy a used small boat for about 200,000 to 300,000. However, the material is not good for FRP. Is Fune manufactured locally?

Fune is necessary for the seine net, but it seems to be difficult for the existing Fune considering the weight of net and weight, maintaining the balance during work, and boarding the number of people required for work.

(4) For salt production, a downflow type salt field would be appropriate because of the small population of fishing villages and the lack of a vast area. Above all, the number of workers is overwhelmingly smaller than in the shore-type or lift-type salt fields.

Rural people are also used to create facilities. Since a large amount of wood is required for final boiling, cooperation from Yamamura is also required.

When he told him he needed a lot of wood for fuel, the village chiefs also turned a little over.

Finally, a shopkeeper called from the town.

In this territory, there is no traveler passing by because the end is a dead end at the sea. Those who have a need nearby go to Bozes, where there is a decent town.

Also, most of the exotic products sold in this village are transported via the Bozes territory, which is naturally higher than the Bozes territory. Therefore, only those in the territory will shop in this territory.

"Do you want to go out of business?"

"""Whaaaaaaaat!"""

All of the people of the territory expressed surprise in Mitsuha's words.

If the only store in the territory disappears, 678 resident people and 170 families will have trouble with daily shopping.

Of course, goods from outside the territory, but even if they are domestic, you have to go to the producer to buy what you want unless you go through the shop. Every day, many kinds of goods. Do all families wander around rural, mountain and fishing villages? It is impossible.

When everyone thought so.

"No, it doesn't mean that the store is gone. I'm going to make it a little bigger and put more products on it. Pez, a merchant who will come to our territory on a regular basis, You can't leave them all to a privately-owned store, such as products you bring, rare items brought from my homeland, and new products to be made in our territory. I'm going to open it up. "

"... if you refuse to go out of business?"

"I don't mind, just because a new lord-owned store will open. Perhaps there are stores that buy at a better price and sell at a lower price."

To Mitsuha's answer, a merchant who turns her complexion off.

"Then we'll collapse ..."

"That's why it's recommended to go out of business. I won't let you go out of business. Of course, new shops need people to shop around each village, I'm also thinking of direct deals, because I need someone who is used to doing business. "

After thinking hard, the shopkeeper shook his head.

From the beginning, there was no other choice.

Mitsuha had been thinking about selling Japanese products at this store for a while. It's also much cheaper than the Royal Capital. As a result, customers came not only from Bozes territory but also from other territories in the vicinity, aiming to boost the economy.

Of course, if the number of customers from other territories increases, the hotel and restaurant will be leveraged. The inn will be a regular, always open inn, and the restaurant will be large and serve Yamano cuisine.

I want to be able to do it as soon as possible with the power of my territory. But at first, some cheating will be helped. Otherwise the story will not start.

After that, Mitsuha talked about the construction of shops, workshops, and salt fields, and requested the dispatch of personnel from towns and villages.

The village chiefs, who thought they were acting as stars and thought of free service, were surprised to find out that Mitsuha was going to give his daily allowance. Rare, extraordinary cash income. Everyone will be happy to come.

After asking the chef if there was any ate, the son of Meshiya worked at a restaurant in Bozes territory. I decided to call back or talk with the couple at the restaurant.

And finally, Mitsuha talked about educating children.

Education is absolutely necessary to live a prosperous future.

At a minimum, if you can't read, write, or calculate, you will only have to work for physical labor. And they only deceive or sign unfair contracts and become food for unscrupulous merchants.

Children are also important workforces, and everyone was reluctant, but I heard that they would have lunch only every other day in the morning and then return, and then agreed.

This concludes the agenda. When asked if there was anything else, I was asked if the tax would be the same.

Tax is 70% where it is most. This is beyond the limits of territorial living. This is temporary if there is enough time. If 70% of the tax is maintained, the evacuation of lords and the destruction of lords are usually awaited.

The maximum sustainable tax rate is 60%. And the lowest tax rate in the kingdom is 40%. This is only the rich and good territory. Generally, it is around 50%.

Even if the tax rate is the same, the total tax revenue is not completely comparable between the territory of 10,000 coins and the territory of 100,000 coins because the conditions are completely different.

By the way, Bozes territory is 50%. It was a good state of good politics as a rural territory, mainly for agriculture, where commercial and tax revenues from cargo passing through the territory could not be expected.

And the tax rate of this territory is 60%. Mitsuha hadn't given any instructions yet, as was the former lord.

"Oh sorry, I forgot. Our tax rate is now 30%."

"" "Eh, eh, eh!"

Surprising voices were raised not only by the folks but also by the Viscounts.

Mitsuha does not spend extra money on meals or clothing, and does not hold parties. He does not bribe or buy jewelry for the nobles of the royal capital or the priests of the Great Temple. Ordinary living expenses can be earned enough at the occasional store.

Tax revenues in the territory are used only for salaries of employees and public servants, for maintenance of the residence, and for other things, such as public works, education, and welfare in the territory. Each business aims to be profitable independently.

If it was too low, there would be a balance with other territories, and nothing could be done without a certain amount of budget, so it was a number like this.

However, for the folks, it is a fuss of wonderland.

$ 40% is now 70%.

This does not mean that the richness of life has increased 1.75 times.

Suppose that 30% of $ 40% was spent on minimum food expenses, fuel expenses, clothing and other essential items. Then, it is 5 minutes that can be used for a little luxury other than just living.

What happens if the share becomes 70%?

The amount of luxury is 30% and 5 minutes. Indeed, it is seven times. 7 times more money than before. The purchasing power of the nation is exploding.

Consumption increases. As consumption increases, producers' profits increase. If producers have better money, their consumption will increase. Then, the money yield of the producer of the product is improved.

Thus, the economy started to turn around in a rural town where a little money was just going around a certain route.
