That's why I consulted with Earl and Iris.

"Equipped with high-end inns, super-bathhouses, expensive restaurants, etc., so that noble and rich guests can drop a lot of money. Of course, we will also provide reasonable people for ordinary people.

In addition to naval sightseeing, as well as securing repeaters as amusement parks, attractive facilities for tourists ... "

"What is Super Sento?"

Intercepted my explanation and asked a question from Iris.

"It is a facility where you can enjoy a bath with or without a hot spring. Well, it's never better than a hot spring ....

The bath is not just a facility that cleans the body, it is a very popular facility in my home country that is intended to be healthy and enjoyable… ”

"Most popular in Mitsuha's home country?"

The eyes of Iris glistened.

"Yes, it's good for beauty, and female customers ..."

"Is it good for beauty?"

Hey!

This is likely to be reminded later ...

Is there anything else ...?

In Japan, what is the way of making money in a naval port city?

Sightseeing boats around the naval port.

No, in the first place there is no such ship, it is dangerous to go around the harbor with a motorless sailing ship, and if there are two or three piers and four ships in the first place, there is no need to go by boat for viewing.

Curry?

No, no spices are available here, so if I stop carrying it from the earth, the related industries will be destroyed in an instant. Rejected!

Meat and potatoes?

Yeah, so maybe the seasonings you can get around here will do just fine. Even if they aren't exactly the same, they should look alike. …… Only for “boiled” dishes.

Can it be like a potato boil?

We have to be careful not to have a potato taro war or a pork beef war ...

That's not something that can be done in a fashionable way, like the mushroom bamboo shoot war. If you go bad, it will rain blood and kill you.

Ah!

"And let's have a meal for sailors to eat while sailing!"

"During the voyage? Is that so delicious, what is a seafarer's meal?"

"Geromaz ..."

In response to my frown, the Countess with a stunned face.

"If it's bad, won't it sell?"

"No, no problem!"

Yes, hard-baked bread with black elephant insects, bean soup with only a little salt, half-rotten salted pork.

It's very unlikely that anyone except the hungry who has no other food will try to eat.

…… But definitely!

No, it's not food poisoning.

Humans, unusual things want to eat. When people say "astronauts eat space foods" or "Antarctica winter team members eat meals", it is human beings who want to eat even if they are a little expensive.

And the ones that come out with high money are just a little, and even if they are not good, everyone says, “Huh, are you eating something like that in that kind of place? That's hard work. Well, transportation and preservation would be difficult ... ", and they will be satisfied. Even if you didn't struggle in that place.

There are quite a few civilians who want to buy military (combat, ration) food, but they are quite expensive. Not only people called Miriota, but also ordinary uncles and women ...

Yes, it's such a thing!

Tall and fried noodles to eat at the beach.

Fooly octopus grilled and squid grilled that you buy at festival stalls, which you should never buy if you usually do. And few people eat until the end, apple candy.

That kind of guy.

And the biggest advantage is that beans just before disposal and rotten pork are revived as products!

Fuha ...

"And I'm thinking about something extraordinary ..."

Noisy!

Yes, if you come with food and drink from a sailor, don't forget that!

Yes, it's rum.

Speaking of sake on the sailing boat, there is only rum.

To make rum, grow sugarcane, take out molasses ...

Molasses is a by-product of making sugar. Never grow sugar cane to make molasses! ……Perhaps.

No, maybe it's possible to grow it for rum, but ...

Anyway, sugar cane is needed to produce rum here.

The northern limit of sugarcane in Japan must have been around Shizuoka Prefecture. At the time of studying the cultivation items in the Yamano Viscount, I had examined that area. Is temperature and climate safe, safe?

... No, both Viscount Yamano (of them) and Count Bozes are facing the sea, so the sea breeze ...

The Countess of Bozes is deep in the north and south, so if it's a place closer to the south ... idiot, I am!

The sugarcane-producing areas in Japan are not famous for Okinawa, the Nansei Islands, the Amami Islands, and parts of Shikoku! Crops that are vulnerable to the sea breeze should not become specialty products in such a place!

Good, check the temperature and precipitation in the northern limit ...

"... come back soon"

Ah…….

"Well, just a little bit of thinking about the production of a new product of sake!

"What a new sake!"

... I dug a grave!

……

"That's why it's sugarcane!"

"What's' that's why ..."

Mr. Miriam, my chief of staff on domestic affairs, is saying something, but through.

Here, our vassals and the heads of three rural villages on our territory come together.

The heads of the fishing village and the two mountain villages are not called. This story only concerns rural areas.

Our territory is more than a population of three villages, more than a town (tentatively, the name is "the territorial capital". No one calls it embarrassed, but of course, including me). It was the most important thing in charge of agriculture, the core industry of the country.

Yeah, it was. Past tense.

Until the development of fisheries and salt production, game boards and shiitake cultivation in mountain villages, and the sericulture, silk production and weaving in the town, which began to produce clothing and other new industries, began to generate profits.

Clothing production alone will be destroyed if I stop carrying fabrics from the earth, so I want to quickly establish roots in sericulture, silk weaving, and weaving, but these are stories on a yearly basis. At worst, we need to develop other industries and expand employment in the town so that it's okay if this happens.

In any case, although the effects of reforms have already begun on vegetables, the harvest of wheat is still far ahead, and no matter how effective the reforms are, if the yield of crops increases slightly, the profits will suddenly increase several times. not.

Well, in terms of tonnage alone, switching to potato cultivation may be "several times", but the revenue from cashing them is not proportional to it.

On the other hand, fishing ports have increased sharply, fisheries processing has increased the product value, and the sunshine has improved, and sales channels have expanded. Although the sales of the play board have calmed down, the mountain village where I am desperately holding down the villagers who plan to increase the raw wood due to the explosion of shiitake, and the territory where new industries buzz.

And looking at them, this new business plan presented before three rural village heads who would not have been calm. That is the production of high-quality sugar and new sake.

…… And what happens?

"Our village will undertake the trial cultivation of" sugar cane "!"

"No, it's our village!"

"What you're saying! It's my village, the first village and leadership in this territory to take on the dangers you don't know will succeed!

Be assured, do not risk your village. Leave it all to us ... "

"" Sorry, shit! "

Pia, after all ...
