The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era
Episode 471: Feast with the Craftsmen
Side: a long time ago
Tonight is a massive catch of magpies this afternoon, fried, southerly marinated and tatataki and other magpies.
I'm not cheating on you. When we all fished for escorts and stuff, we were eating in. You're lucky.
"Even the same fish looks like a whole different dish."
It's a banquet with the craftsmen tonight. There is also the eldest son of a cobbler who entrusts the business of Krabby River, and the look of the cobbler looses on the dishes lined up at the table.
The little rhinoceros is marinated in a southern barbecue and fried medium sized. I think I made the big one a tattoo.
The craftsmen would be better off eating something even tails. Especially the fish should be eating well as a source of tartar.
We still buy fish and vegetables together and distribute them throughout the house, industrial villages, etc. If we don't do that, we're saving money, right?
Securing food stability is surprisingly difficult in this age. We pay cash by good money, so farmers and fishermen also have a profit.
"He's a little weird!
Your city is intrigued by the southerly marinade. Nanban marinade is the immediate marinade of freshly fried magpies in a Nanban sauce such as soy sauce, dashi or vinegar.
The truth is, I could eat every bone if I soaked it a little more.
The city gave the nanny a clean loosening of the little rhinoceros soaked in the Nanban sauce, and when she opened her big mouth and ate it, she had dinner and a full grin.
"Hey!
"That's true. The sourness of vinegar is very flavorful."
The nanny also gave a slightly surprised look when she followed the city. I guess the Nanban sauce itself is unusual. Even soy sauce has only recently begun to appear on the tail.
"If you simply mass produce the same ship, it would be quicker to number the members before manufacture and make them aligned in the same size as shown in the drawings. I think if we make the same members in the same person, the quality of the members will be stable."
"But Master Elle. The number of craftsmen is limited…"
The artisans are having an early banquet with alcohol in it. Looks like Elle is asking the craftsmen about Nanban blacksmiths and shipbuilding and telling them about ancient Cartago shipbuilding.
"There must be more craftsmen. Build hundreds of ships ahead. There are also repairs. Not with anyone, so the apprentice has to be consulted."
Seonsan and the others had listened with interest to the mass production system, but they can't do it right away, can they? I know there's no such know-how or personnel.
Well, Seonsan had a reason from the beginning to call me to raise artisans.
Although many of the most usable craftsmen came to us, and since the Krabby River was not home, we were asked to focus on shipbuilding. It's time to start talking about mass production and the training of artisans.
Did Elle think it was just right, talking about future shipbuilding?
"Hundreds..."
Yeah, the craftsmen who were drinking and making noise calmed down when they heard the number of ships. That's right, different digits. If you're dealing with Ise Bay and Kanto, you don't have to go that far to make it.
"In the future, the demand for ships will increase as much as possible. Eventually, the day will come when the ships you are building will take control of the Japanese books."
Craftsmen react differently. Seonsan isn't that surprised. I guess I noticed. That there are not enough ships at all when Oda grows at this pace.
Well, as a river ship, we need a Japanese ship without a center keel, and we won't be running out of existing ships.
"Actually, you're going to teach the minimum basics of craftsmanship in school and develop an apprenticeship. I need your opinion on that today."
Just fine, let's discuss the issue of apprenticeships carefully today.
Currently, both carpenters, ship carpenters and blacksmiths contemplate teaching the basics at school before letting them work as apprentices.
"My lord, what is the school? Is it that school in Naguno?
"Yeah. I'm not asking you to tell me even the secret extremes. I think it's quicker to teach to make it at least usable because academics, martial arts and craftsmen are the same."
The majority of craftsmen are pokans. Since work is decided as a family business in these days, it would be natural to grow up looking at the work of parents from childhood onwards. Not absolutely, because there are exceptions, but the majority will inherit the family business.
"I mean, you don't have to be from a craftsman's house to be a craftsman?
"That's right. Yeah, I think it's a good idea to raise them as a priority if you have someone to volunteer for in everyone's family or relatives"
He seems to understand me to some extent. Originally, I decided that the family business was a merchant on a boat. I don't even seem to think I would disagree with making someone different from the family business an artisan.
"My lord, because that has to be Nagorno?
Again in my words, the craftsmen are arguing with their opinions in their mouths. There are some half-hearted parts, but I'm glad they're thinking about efficiency as well as they are.
Seung-san, who was so silent, asked me a question.
"No, that's not it. However, because I think of it as part of what I teach people in general, at present I think about it in Nagorno. If Sansan will teach you, the carpenter can be Krabby River."
"Anyway, I think it's best to build a ship if you're using tools."
Yeah. Seonsan is serious about raising a ship carpenter herself. I don't care if they ask me to look at it and remember it, so I have to talk to them about how to teach it and the level of teaching it, but if Krabby is a good idea, maybe Krabby can be a boat carpenter.
Did you think that your disciples were going to spread technology to the Japanese books one day?
"Then maybe raising a sailor should also be a Krab River"
"Oh, there it is, too."
In fact, the functioning of the school is decided to be decentralized. Primary education will be done everywhere, and it may be ant to create sea-related educational facilities in the Krabs River.
Elle also agreed to set up a school in Krabby River about a facility to raise sailors.
Especially when it comes to collecting the Navy and stuff. Mr. Saji and our ship still train together on a regular basis. Saji looks forward to going to our main island.
I also train really well for this, such as ship manoeuvring techniques in the outer ocean and collaboration in warfare.
"Blacksmiths can't get inside an industrial village without the least amount of skill. The school is close to the industrial village, and we'll send someone to become a teacher."
Everyone talks about raising artisans takes me seriously without any major opposition.
Blacksmiths have more secrets, and amateurs seem to be in the way in industrial villages where they make many new attempts, which meant that teaching was fine in schools.
"To be honest, there are not enough craftsmen to use that iron."
Looks like the blacksmiths were more seriously worried in the sense of a shortage of talent. There are still not enough refineries in the industrial village, and the unrefined iron is sold out of Oda territory as it is.
Well, most of them are transported to our island and refined and sold on craft.
The craftsmen have a dream of using it up on their own.
"I'd love to build a ship out of iron someday!
"You. If we use iron, the ship will sink?
"But the Nanban ships carry a lot of heavy iron. I guess the ship itself could be made of iron too!!
Craftsmen enjoyed drinking and cooking while talking and discussing each other's thoughts, but when one of the young craftsmen said that the ship wanted to build with iron, me and Elle accidentally looked at each other.
Young craftsmen who make these flexible ideas want to take care of them.
In historical fact, there is talk that the Oda family built the Ironclad Ship. I want to try to nurture ideas like his.
"That sounds interesting. You can try it because you can fail."
"Is it true!!
"Yeah. You can even try it from a small model. You'll need to study the ship, and it's gonna be tough."
In this day and age, steel ships would be difficult because they have no power. The technology is not mature.
However, the trials and errors of craftsmen can be an asset to the future. Let's invest that much. Looking forward to it. What possibilities do the craftsmen show us?
The young craftsman was pleased to give permission to build an iron ship.
I want everyone else to do their best with a free idea.
