"What do you mean, magical farming, [soil improvement] or something?"
"That's right. If there were to be an influx of migrants from other lands in the future, it would probably be a food problem."
"Because you don't have any food, you're going where it seems possible, right?That said, we've finally managed to deal with salt damage, so we're not rich in food. "
Listen to Eye with Christina and Elvis.
Regarding the problems that would eventually occur in this city, it was said that Eye would also be caused by what she eats.
Sure, if there's enough food, fewer people are going to move to a new city, so that's right.
And there's a quick way to solve it.
It's magic.
The [leveling] and [soil improvement] created by Mr. Ars.
This is magic that can change the state of the land with just one word of spell.
I wonder if there will be no food problems if there is only this one.
So I asked Eye and the answer came back immediately.
"Agriculture is essentially nothing more than the destruction of land.Destroy nature and create farmland there.That's agriculture. "
The Eye replied differently than I expected.
It's not just me, it's Christina and Elvis.
I'm surprised to hear something unexpected.
"Is that what this is about? But isn't that okay?If we could make farmland, we'd have more harvest. "
"No, farming is said to be harvesting crops because farmers, a knowledgeable artisan, grow their crops in a way that fits their land.No matter who does it, it doesn't work. "
"Hmm. Maybe so...[Soil improvement] I wonder if we can harvest wheat by spraying it in an improved place. "
"This is Orient Country, Alphonse.And rice is grown better in this eastern or small group of countries than in wheat.There are lots of paddy fields in this area with lots of water. "
"Oh, is that so? Speaking of which, [soil improvement] land wasn't very suitable for rice cultivation.Am I right, Elvis? "
"Yes, I have heard that Arus, who created the magic of soil improvement, did have the purpose of making soil for fields suitable for growing hatsuka.It would be nice to grow wheat, but I think we need to get our hands on soil in the paddy fields. "
"Elvis is right. Soil Improvement is a spell that forcibly changes the state of the land.They have too much influence, good or bad.As a result, the harvest will probably drop if agricultural work is carried out in the same way as before.If instances of magically inappropriate agricultural work are spread across the country, small groups of countries can also cause crop failure. "
I see.
Is that what Eye wanted to say?
Rather than people coming to this city because of the food problem, there may be a major food problem caused by magic.
There may indeed be.
I don't know, there's a lot of flooding around here.
[Soil Improvement] may cause further flooding by making shark soil and expanding agricultural land.
"Have you ever heard such stories around here?"
"... maybe there is.Does this city cover food purchases from outside?I've been brought here by merchants, but we do have stories of impropriety.As a merchant, I didn't take it very seriously because it would be an opportunity to sell it, but I think I need to check it out. "
It seems that Christina has an idea of the negative impact of [soil improvement].
However, until now, the magic hasn't spread that far.
Especially in Orient Country, ordinary people didn't use magic.
However, it seems that there was such a story in other small countries where it was said that it was unlikely to become a crop failure.
Perhaps the magical influence is involved.
"I mean, here's the thing. Soil improvement In order to harvest properly on land that uses something, I have the knowledge to use it.And we have it.What a variant. I've been using magic to make rice for years. "
"Right. So how about selling Balkan rice at the same time?[Soil improvement] Because there are rice with improved varieties that are easy to grow on improved land. "
"Oh, that one, yeah.Now, let's sell the breeding method to Banaji together with the seed.If you say you're going to fail, you might be able to buy it for a good price. "
All right, let's do it.
After all, this city is mainly about buying food.
I'm troubled if you don't grow food well in other villages.
If it could curb the influx of migrants around, there would be no other way.
Why don't we talk about it when we go to New Year's greetings?
While everyone talked about it, time passed slowly, but surely.
