"Hmm, you don't have much to want..."
As Carlos told me, I was checking to see if there was anything to buy from the Cavalier Territory in Fontana.
But it might be harder than I thought.
Even if I decided to buy something like a craft that I'm not sure about, for example, I wouldn't need it otherwise so I wouldn't buy it in bulk, nor would I buy it continuously.
but as Carlos put it, a lot more money needs to move like every year to make sure that gold goes around in Fontana territory.
What shall I do?
Should I think about talking to Lilina or Clarice and buying condiments and such again?
Sure, there may be a few more condiments to suit the newly built hall in the city of Fontana.
But it's also limited in number.
What is wrong with it?
"What's going on, Ars? You got a dark face, huh?
"Bite brother? Actually, I have some thoughts. Would you listen to me?
"Oh, that's good. What's wrong with you? Are you worried about where we're going to fight next?
"Don't say anything noisy, brother Byte. I didn't, Master Carlos told me. Buy more stuff from other knights' territories. But I don't know what to buy."
"Oh, my God, you know what? Isn't that easy?"
"... what did you come up with? My part-time brother?
"Hey, you're complaining if I come up with something."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean that, but I guess it was a little unexpected. So, listen, what would a part-time brother buy? I'm telling you, it has to be something that keeps buying a lot more."
"Oh my God, I knew it wouldn't be easy. Eat it, Ars. Buy something you can eat."
"... you know, Bite brother. We Barca will go to the other Knights and improve the farmland. That would do the wheat just to buy it away, but it's nothing. Even Barca can make the wheat. I'm going to buy it for liquor to some extent, but I'm looking for something else."
"What the hell, you can buy anything but wheat. I've been around the Knights all over pretty well, but there was something about the food that I only made there. I wish I could buy that."
"Other than wheat? You got enough to sell?
"I don't know, but [soil improvement] will allow us to harvest more of what's in the field than ever before. Wouldn't you be able to secure as much as you'd sell if you could make more?
... I see.
What Brother Byte says makes sense.
If you think about it normally, buying food is more likely to come into your mind first than buying crafts.
Why didn't you come up with that?
I often thought of a lot of products to sell, so maybe it was because I thought that food would be enough to fill my belly.
Basically, both the other knights and the Barca knights let the peasants living on their territory make wheat to deliver it.
So the standard for food is the yield of wheat.
but in the actual field I myself made other than wheat.
But it wasn't to pay as a tax or as a commodity with something to outweigh the hunger of the family.
And even though the road network has developed, the basics are local consumers, and it doesn't tell much about what they eat elsewhere.
but maybe there are more crop variations than I thought.
Then maybe we'll find and buy out the ingredients that are only eaten on the land, as Bite Brother says.
If that is what can be harvested from the field, it would also be possible to make large quantities on [soil improved] land.
That's good, I got a swell of thoughts on this one when I heard Brother Byte's idea.
That's right.
Wouldn't it be necessary to make nothing but wheat on other lands?
Conversely, it would be better to make a variety of things to handle weather disorders and other imperfections.
Besides, nothing can be harvested from the field except wheat and vegetables.
You can also grow flowers.
Until now in Barca, in addition to wheat, for the purpose of filling the belly, only those with a short time to harvest, such as Hatsuka, were grown.
But in other cavalier realms, you might want to grow flowers.
Some flowers have honey.
And if there is honey, there are insects that collect it.
Yes, honey.
I may be able to secure a sweetness that I haven't had much chance to mouth before.
Besides, the use of flowers goes beyond honey gathering alone.
Oil.
Flowers like Abrana would also be able to squeeze and remove oil.
Actually, oil is quite valuable.
Because the amount that can be squeezed is not so much, it is always thin and expensive.
But oil can be used.
That's not just for cooking. It can also be used when caged.
It can also be used to drop hot oil from the top of the wall and intercept the attack side.
What is more, oil may be recognized as a strategic supply?
All right, let's keep these things as our main focus for what we buy from the other Knights.
I might actively recommend oil-making for anything.
If you promise to make oil out of farmland developed fields, is there one that does it when it comes to lowering the interest rate on the money to be lent than normal?
There's no need to make oil out of all of its cavalry.
Set a section of the territory as a space to make oil and grow Abrana there.
Barca buys out the oil that was made that way.
Can we be win-win relationships with each other?
"All right, Bite brother. Tell me all about where and what you've been eating. Because if there's only food I can take there, I'm going to talk to them about whether they can increase production and sell it in that knighthood."
Thus, in Fontana territory, crops that were difficult to obtain elsewhere in each of the Knights began to be produced for sale.
In particular, Carlos and other aristocrats were not known for their precious offerings, but for the discovery of what the common people had been secretly eating, and the repertoire of dishes lined up at my table began to grow.
