Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle

"Hmm, I wonder what's going on"

"What is it, Master Ars? I thought I hadn't been working in this office in a long time, but I keep roaring."

"... there's a thorn in the words, Lion."

"That would be so. If you suddenly think you've pushed me to the helm of this country, launch Vulcania into the sky, mount a marriage story in the East, or go see the ocean to the west. At all, it doesn't seem like you're doing your job as finance minister?

"Oh no, that's not true. He said that even when he was away from the city of Fontana, he gave instructions while being contacted through someone who could use proper [reading]. I didn't leave my job as finance minister alone."

"Really? But personally, I'd like you to do more national work."

"That's good and bad at this stage, too. Until about six months ago, I was at the top of the list in place of the king. But that's already turned into Lion. 'Cause if I'd been in this city forever, you might be bringing more stories to me around than Lion, huh?

"Well, that would certainly be there. I cannot deny the fact that, thanks to all the work that Master Ars has done in Barca, authority has been transferred to me without delay in a certain sense".

"Right? So forgive me for doing something too hard, Lion"

"... ok. Well, let's just say that if Master Ars is doing something inconvenient for the Kingdom of Fontana. So, what happened when you looked at the documents earlier?

"Oh, that's the thing. Look at this number, Lion."

The making of God's dependent bills was to await the results of Meme's research.

Since the reputation in Dreslina is not something I can suddenly say and start, will the event be well known this year or so next year?

So I was coming to the city of Fontana because I had time.

There was a little accumulation of work as finance minister at Castel Fontana, so I'm going to handle that.

And as I roared through the paperwork, Lion came up with a novel.

I'm apologizing to Lyon for turning a light mouth, but that Lyon face had a black neighborhood on it.

Apparently, he's pretty busy.

Lion can't use Barca's magic, but he's still good at handling magic.

The spell I use [meditation] cannot be used in itself, but I was able to produce a similar effect on my own.

It is usually possible to restore tiredness and fatigue by blocking any leakage of magic that naturally leaks out of the human body.

Even so, I guess I'm pretty busy because I'm so tired and still doing my job.

Well, I can tell you that's no choice either.

Whatever it is, Rion is now in the head of the Kingdom of Fontana, while at the same time having to manage the two noble territories he just acquired last year as Graham territory.

We must use the Fontana family while mastering Graham territory at the Graham family outing, which is the belly heart.

It would be a lot of hard work.

Show Lion the data I have on my paperwork.

There were figures on the finances of my job, which also described the basic tax wheat harvest.

"Again, that's an amazing harvest. Does this also have the effect that Master Ars has been reformed in agriculture in the tunnels until now? It's not just the magical effect of [finishing ground] and [soil improvement], but also the effect of water cure, I guess."

"Yeah. Right. The same is true of agricultural yields, especially for curing water, but it also serves as a disaster response for floods and such. I guess we'll have to go on with these."

"Right. But is it also something that bothers you with these numbers? The harvest is growing well, and I wonder if there is anything particularly problematic about it."

"No, the harvest is fine. But I need to think about it in conjunction with the numbers over here. What do you say? The unit price of the wheat is falling, right?

"... that's true. Is the wheat so cheaper now?... right. Although we can see the movement of the Great Alliance of Nobles this year, so far there are no signs of the war itself. The wheat market is stable."

"That's right. Until now, there have been battles in Fontana every year. The fact that there is a war means that the army moves. Thousands, tens of thousands of humans make up armies consuming wheat that feeds them. So the wheat market was maintained at a certain height"

"Right. But things are a little different this year. The Church issued a restraining order for the battle when Master Ars, who played the battle every year, resigned from his post as Chancellor and Grand General. I guess the merchants didn't buy wheat at at high prices either."

"... No, it is, but I didn't want to fight it. Well, okay. That's not the problem. Now it is this wheat market that should be the problem. This is cheaper than usual. But not this year alone. If years go by without fighting in the future, this cheap price could continue"

"You say, outside the kingdom of Fontana, a great alliance of aristocrats has been formed trying to plot something jihadist against this one, right?

"Right. So let's do this all the time. But in the end it's the same thing. At this rate, the wheat harvest in the Kingdom of Fontana rises every year. The result is that the price of wheat in the same quantity continues to fall. When that happens, you know what happens, Lion?

"… that even if you make a lot of wheat, the price when you sell it shouldn't be as proportionate as it is. Or, could it crash?

"I don't know. Like I said, we might not be talking about this right now. But you'll also need to think about what's going on now. If the market for wheat is too cheap, we need to be able to adjust it."

"What do you do when it comes to adjustments? You can't just throw that away because you've got too much wheat, can you?

"Right. At worst, production adjustments will also need to be kept in view. But I'd rather make farmers make more of a variety of things than that. If wheat is cheaper, grow other crops so you can make money instead."

"... Isn't that hard, Master Ars? You didn't forget when you were a farmer, did you? Basically, farmers can't act so anticipating the future. They don't have the ability to read the market, even if they have the skills to farm."

"Right. And, then, do we need to read this one some way ahead and build a plan?... Ok, I've made up my mind. Build a state-owned brewery."

"Huh? Why is it alcohol there, Master Ars?

"Because it's an investment looking ahead, Lion."

Effect of fluctuations in the wheat market.

As I talked to Lion, so far, there's no impact that far.

I don't, but I don't know what to say to myself. Barca's magic is efficient at digits apart from agriculture so far.

It's too good.

I was raw as a poor farmer, so I made efficient farming magic, but if it were on a national scale, the impact on my surroundings would change.

If the wheat is too much, the farmer may not be able to live.

Even so, the mortality rate will drop because farmers have more access to food called wheat than ever before.

However, cash income may be less than it is now and less profitable than in other professions.

Even with magic, agriculture is a tough job.

If the situation persists where farmers earn less than other jobs by doing the same hardship, farmers may cease to farm.

Because it makes more money.

However, if we think of it as a country, it is not a good idea to have a situation where the number of farmers is reduced.

Therefore, it will be necessary to take measures before any serious impact occurs.

That's what I suggested to Lion to make liquor as a nation.
