Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Ichiyoshi, who moved to the office, had been briefed by Narson before on several pieces of material spread out on his desk.

The contents of the materials are predominantly related to conscription within the territory.

Yiliang is still unable to read the letter of this country well, so it is in the form of a verbal explanation by Nalson of the main points of the material.

Liese sits next to Yi Liang, and reads out what is in the paperwork upon Yi Liang's request.

"We each have the required equipment depending on the asset, but are the standards for the equipment not uniform?

"Wealthy aristocratic private soldiers often unify their equipment, but the equipment of citizens gathered by conscription is fragmented. However, those above the second class are instructed to prepare a specified spear and shield size."

Explanation indicates that conscription in this territory varies according to income.

Citizens who are conscripted are divided into five classes depending on their assets, and their equipment and the units they join will vary accordingly.

The distinction is that the first class is the wealthiest and the fifth class has the least income.

The equipment for each class in Istel territory is as follows:

Level 1: Helmet, Circle Shield, Tibia, Torso Armor, Long Spear, Sword

Second Class: Helmet, Circle Shield, Chest, Long Spear, Sword

Level 3: Helmet, Circle Shield, Short Spear

Level 4: Short Spear, Throw Spear

Class 5: Catapults, Stones

Of these, the first and second classes are classified as a soldier species called heavy infantry, the others being light infantry.

In addition, the shields provided by the first and second class ones must be made of bronze and of a strictly specified size.

Besides this, anything that can handle a bow is employed as an archer regardless of its rank.

Nobles are basically treated as cavalry because it is common for them to receive riding training from an early age.

Private soldiers with aristocracy often have excellent equipment quality for what the aristocracy provides.

Sometimes Lata is paid, so anything with riding skills participates as a cavalry, and anything else is treated in the same line as a first-class soldier.

Also, those with riding skills even if they are not aristocratic and able to procure lata are treated as cavalry, ignoring the income class.

Riding skills are as skillful as bows, and if you just ride, you still need years to be able to swing swords and spears while you ride.

As a result, only a very small number of people can fight as cavalry, apart from nobles who receive riding training from an early age.

"Well, citizens with fewer assets have less equipment to prepare,"

"Whatever the spear is, weapons like torso armor, swords, and shields cost money to procure and care for. When it comes to having all the convocators prepare unified weapons, the burden on them is too great. So it is in the form of specifying the minimum equipment required according to income"

"Can't it take the form of preparing and distributing weapons on the lord's side?

"It's tough to have just that... bronze tools are expensive, and it will take a lot of work to take care of when we have all of them from time to time, so you'll need the financial resources to do so"

"Um, is that right? It's still a matter of financial resources..."

It would probably be best to have a uniform standard of armament available on the lord's side, in the form of distribution and letting it be used.

Once the standards are unified, variations in the power of war can also be suppressed, and above all they can be treated as identical forces of war regardless of the difference between rich and poor.

But I can't help but say there's nothing to precede me.

We need to do something about the financial resources in the realm first, and we don't seem to be talking about what to do with armaments.

"Then again, we'll have to increase the production of the barn zone and lower the cost everywhere with the introduction of new tools... I hope the mining volume of the mine increases with the introduction of hand pumps"

"Right. Financial resources will be quite moist, especially if more silver is mined. Besides, if the amount of copper and tin mined increases, the price of the equipment will decrease, so the quality of the musketeers' weapons should be improved."

"Price and quality... Hmm"

Listening to Narson's explanation, Ichigo considers the introduction of the steelmaking technology previously under consideration.

If iron ore were to be available in the near future, the price of weapons could be greatly reduced by the introduction of steelmaking technology.

This is about the planet, but iron has so much reserves that it cannot be compared to metals like copper or tin.

High reserves also mean low rare value, which would also mean lower procurement costs.

Using iron instead of bronze should ensure that the price of weapons can be lowered.

Iron is harder and more durable than bronze, which also leads to improved equipment quality.

Although processing is more laborious than bronze, the introduction of iron would have great advantages.

The burden on blacksmiths from the creation of equipment increases dramatically, but some strain should be alleviated by the introduction of forged machines powered by water vehicles.

A story I had previously heard from Barletta was that in four years' time the war against Barbell might resume.

It seemed to be the result of pain sharing in the last battle, but I don't know if this country could hold up the same way last time in the next war.

Iron making technology should be introduced if necessary because I am holding my hand, support is delayed, and things like Arcadia being destroyed are irrevocable.

However, if peace can be maintained as it is without a resumption of war, there is no need for the introduction of an innovative technology, steelmaking.

Caution should be exercised when introducing iron and steel production technologies, as the balance of power with neighbouring countries should be significantly out of balance.

"Mr. Narson, the diplomatic situation with other countries…"

Ichirano said that much and noticed that Reese, sitting next to him, was staring at him with a strange look.

It was inadvertent, but Reese didn't know it was Graciole.

You must be wondering when you see a good way to ask questions about armaments like you don't know anything about them.

"...... let me hear more next time. And then again, when I have time."

When Ichigo said so and took a seat, the neighbor Liese stood up with him.

"Hmm, is that right? I get it. See you later for more information. Thank you for listening."

For such a good reason, Narson bowed his head deeply.

After the office, Ichiya was walking down the hallway of the mansion with Reese.

It's morning now, but in the afternoon, with Isaac and Havel, we plan to dig waterways for hydroelectric generators in the courtyard.

The time now is after 11am and so on, and I had a little time available until lunch.

"Dear Kazura, that was earlier..."

As Ichigo walked thinking about armaments, Reese talked to him like a snack.

"Ah, yes. What is it?

After responding so, Yiliang remembered a series of events in the dossier room and felt a strange sweat gushing out on her back.

If Narson hadn't come to the dossier room then, I can't imagine what would have happened like that.

I feel like I was pressed for some amazing momentum, but what the hell was that?

"If you're interested in a military connection, I'll show you the military. Kingsguards and other private soldiers are trained every day, so if you go to training grounds and barracks, you can see how it goes."

"Oh, that way?

"Huh?"

"Oh, no! Please! Because I was just hoping to see how the army was once!

Ichiyana, who thought she was going to continue her story in the library, accidentally leaked her mind to an unexpected suggestion.

This may take me as if I had expected a story from you, and I nod back to Liese in a hurry.

"Well, start early in the afternoon...... but I had an appointment to see you. Tomorrow... but I do have a meeting... sorry, I'll see you later and come with me."

Reminds me that my plans are in place, and Reese looks sorry.

While Yiliang was returning to the village of Grisea, Reese had refused all the visits he had signed up to try to get the job going as best he could.

However, the refused visitor has not given up as it is, but has applied again in the form of knocking down the appointment behind him, leaving Reese unable to move.

Leese thought that if I canceled the meeting saying it wasn't convenient, the appointment itself would be gone, but the thought was sweet.

I just keep saying no over and over again because I'm not in good shape, so I have no choice but to take the form of a visit this afternoon.

"Oh, it's okay. I have plans for the afternoon, so I'll be back with you in a bit."

"Thank you. When you have time again, be sure. Looking forward to your outing to the city."

"Well, let's go out sometime soon."

When Ichiyoshi talked to each other, Reese smiled with great pleasure.

"Yes! Then I'll sort out my appointments later and tell you what dates might be convenient!

"Yeah, yeah, I get it"

Ichiyoshi nodded slightly bewildered at Reese, who looked like she had no choice but to look forward to it.

It seems to me that Leese's attitude has changed dramatically since Ichiyoshi's return to Isteria, which is called a case in the dossier room, a cannibalism from the current course of conversation.

I thought she was a pretty sociable character daughter, but somehow it felt like that vector was changing in an unexpected direction.

After that, Ichirano spent the time to lunch chatting with Leese in the courtyard.

That afternoon.

Ichigo, who had lunch with Narson and Liese, was in the courtyard just outside his room, with Isaac and Habel.

Beside Ichigo is a cardboard box containing a hydroelectric generator, on which the instructions are spread.

By the way, even at the lunch table earlier, Zirconia didn't show up.

They're taking some time off in their rooms for the day.

"What, 'it takes some gradient to move the generator' … you can't generate electricity on flat ground"

Yiliang purchased a hydroelectric generator of the type used to run water into a thick cylinder of vinyl chloride.

Inside the cylinder there are feathers shaped like fans, and when water flows in the cylinder, the force of the water flow is applied to the feathers and rotates.

The shaft of the blade is directly connected to the generator, which rotates the shaft by the force of the water flow and is driven by the generator.

"Do we need to run water from high places?

Havel, who heard a good crush and was watching, speaks up.

"Yeah. This is the only way to use the water wheel to draw up the water and install the waterway in a high position to connect it directly to the cylinder. Are you going to play Sunday carpenter again..."

"We will provide the personnel for the work, so please tell us what it is. I'll get you started right away."

"So do you decide to install a water wheel on the waterway for the water intake of the site to pump up the water? Make sure you build a water bridge and bring it to the front of the room."

I thought it would be enough to stretch the waterway running in front of the room, but it doesn't seem to work.

Quite a hassle, but it seems like there's no other way to do this than to use a water truck and a water bridge to bring water to the front of the room and install a generator ahead of it.

"Yes, I did. Now, gather your personnel quickly."

"Please. I'll check the required components and installation position of the water bridge. Mr. Isaac asks you to arrange a water wheel. Sure, there must be a few water trucks in the carpenter's workshop that are in the process of being made, so let's divert them all here."

"Okay."

Currently, gas generators are used to cover the power of the refrigerator, but with the hydroelectric generator provided this time, appliances such as air conditioning and microwave can also be used.

Leave the gasoline used for the generator as it is and it will be able to take it out with the generator when it needs power somewhere else.

And most importantly, your daily life should be quite comfortable if you can use the air conditioning.

Based on the amount of electricity generated by the hydroelectric generator provided, all the electricity required for the appliances brought here can be covered.

If the hydroelectric generator can be installed successfully, we will be able to spend almost no different days in the future than our lives in Japan.
