2375 Lesson 2359 Actually, there is a second artificial lake project. (Let the flowers bloom on the dirt.)

The Elvis family room after dinner.

Takeo, Alice, Grandpa Elvis, Frederick, Yukida, Elder Moon Slime, and Vieira and Ku were all gathered.

Red sweetness is delicious!

Grandpa Elvis says.

Takeo-sama, you're considerably sweeter than a pumpkin.

Alice will tell you.

"That's right.

If this spreads, it will improve your diet considerably.

And you can harvest a lot of fruits like potatoes.

I think I'll wholesale it to the market at a reasonable price. "

Takeo says.

"Besides, this will also be a countermeasure in case of failure."

Because it is food that grows even in fields with low nutritional value.

Perhaps it's the perfect place for a freshly opened new field.

The Beltes are going to take the test for us.

Uu-chan said that it seems that the planting time is a little late and I don't know if it will be a good harvest, but I will do everything I can. "

Civiconoja is coming in.

"Hmm, I'd appreciate it if you could do something about it."

Even so... rice is red and sweet... and I want to make it one after another.

It's a problem. "

Grandpa Elvis says.

"Count! Potatoes! Sweet! I want a lot!"

Cuuuu!

Vieira, says Ku.

"Hmm... Nanmachi is a large-scale testing ground for wheat for bread.

Nh... when will it be time to harvest the red sweetness, Lord Konoha? "

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"Nh... the planting time of red sweet is in April when the stems from seed potatoes are cultivated, and the planting time is probably around June.

The harvest will be in September or October. "

Hmmm... wheat seeds, harvest around December and July, when did the rice... come out?

"It's the harvest in April and October."

"Hmm... it might be hard to get a wheat farmer to do it."

In rice, the harvesting period overlaps. "

Grandpa Elvis said while thinking.

"I was wondering if it would be good for the vegetable farmers in Nishimachi to implement it.

We are changing from wheat to vegetables.

I think it is easy to plant vegetables before harvesting in summer, and then transition to harvesting red sweetness after harvesting the vegetables.

I think it is attractive because it is a source of income that is not just vegetables. "

Frederick will tell you.

"Kitamachi is also good if you think about it in the region."

Rye is the main production item there.

Although it is produced more for barley tea and walt whiskey, it is still slightly inferior to other towns in terms of income.

If there is income from red sweetness in the area, I think we can expect income to rise and population to increase, as in other towns. ”

Alice says.

“I see.

But I don't know if I can do it in Kitamachi's environment.

... At least Nanmachi should plan to increase the area under wheat planting in the future, and Kitamachi and Nishimachi should have a small number of plantings as soon as next year's seed potatoes are ready, so that we can confirm how much we can do.

After that, I think it would be desirable to increase the planting area.

We will wait for the establishment of the method of making the Belte family. ”

“I think we can present some way to do that as early as next year.

However, increasing the planting area means that water is used more than it is now.

Since we are upstream of the river, if we cannot change the water consumption itself, we must store it within the surplus and use it from there when necessary. We must review and develop waterways that do not waste water and do not cause water shortages in new villages or existing towns. "

"Hmm, that's not true.

I'm thinking of something similar at the Economic Affairs Bureau and the Maintenance Bureau so that the installation of agricultural waterways from the artificial lake mentioned by Takeo is parallel to the project of securing its water resources.

Well, the establishment of a new agricultural waterway from the artificial lake to the south town is being considered in the direction of implementation.

Apart from that, with the expansion of agricultural land in Kitamachi and Nishimachi, we are thinking of creating a reservoir... or a park. "

"Is it a park?"

"Hmm, maybe it's better to call it a reservoir."

Actually, I thought about building a reservoir the size of a field at first after takingo talked about it... but if I thought about it, I knew it wasn't enough.

Then I'm going to build a big park.

I was going to tell Takeo after I decided more.

It's a slightly smaller version of Takeo's artificial lake. "

I see, it's a combination of a retreat and a reservoir for the local people.

"Hmm, the Maintenance Bureau said we should build a sidewalk around the reservoir."

Anyway, the maintenance of the embankment around the reservoir is difficult, so I told the residents to walk and tread on it.

It's a good idea for me, but I don't think it would make me walk. ”

Grandpa Elvis says.

"Ahh... Konoha, did you really make the cherry blossoms along the river in the Edo period for that purpose?"

"Cherry blossoms on the river?"

That's right, it's an anecdote about not allowing cherry blossom viewing at the time of the court order.

But cherry blossoms... even if it's good for people to step on them, the roots of the cherry blossoms aren't deep.

If you want to do it, count, it would be better if the roots of the trees were deep and the seasonal flowers blossom.

Besides, it's better to have a wide promenade where everyone can walk slowly while feeling the seasons. ”

Takeo and Konoha say.

"Hmm... I see, the trees bloom in season..."

Shall we consider it? ”

Grandpa Elvis nodded.
