1678 Episode 1664: The day before the departure. 12 (rice meeting after dinner.

in the guest room after dinner.

"Ho, think of something funny.

I did intend to promote it in the hope that the food situation in the territory would improve.

As far as I'm concerned, I thought I'd wholesale a little for the King's Capital if I could harvest some.

I wonder if it is possible to export large quantities outside the territory at present.

What do you think of Takeo?

Grandpa Elvis turns to Takeo.

"Mm-hmm... the current import volume is 500kg, we will discuss additional purchases in the future, right?

I'm hoping that Victor and Mr. Simona will have some interaction... but it's probably consumed in the territory, and production in the territory is still unknown in the first place, isn't it?

"Takeo, the Bertes have reported that they are about to plant seeds.

He said he plans to use 25 kg to yield 200 kg.

Other than Takeo, I'm surprised.

"Mm-hmm... it's not enough..."

Takeo arms up.

"Right ~.

It's a rare grain, but sales don't seem that good, do they?

"... If 1 kg is 20 copper coins, 5 kg is 1 silver coin, 200 kg, then 40 silver coins...

It would actually be a little more if it came with...

The Bertes land is 45 gold coins a year... so I wish I could have covered just the cost of the land.

"Takeo, make it rice from land rice?

That way, even the same seed plantings will yield better, right?

"That's still early.

Even if it goes up to it, it won't go up dramatically.

The Berte family's aim is to grow rice, but it also has an agricultural testing ground connotation.

The first step is to show how well we can produce rice and explain how to introduce it when other farmers come to visit.

It is the production of cereals that we are not even familiar with, acceptance is expected to be difficult to navigate.

So now I think we have to do everything we can to spread land rice on other agricultural lands.

Mm-hmm... well, I was expecting it, but later it should be better to bribe a little with the vegetable variety improvement project and the production of dandy tea.

"Well... if I see it as an agricultural testing ground, should I also test whether rice will fit in this land later?

The Bertes are out-of-pocket.

"Yeah, I have a lot of side jobs for that... not really.

The result will be an important position.

Well, this is the stage of confirming what needs attention in the growing process while demonstrating that we can produce rice stably on land.

Agriculture must not be in a hurry.

You have to sit back carefully.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying now.

Takeo's plan is to use rice from the Demon King to spread the word, right?

"Yeah, now it's rice from the Kingdom of Briani via the Demon Kingdoms, but the Demon Kingdoms are aristocratic and have elf territory.

You need to see if you can import it from that side.

"I wish it was that way, but I'd appreciate getting it in from two regions if I could.

Maybe it's a different breed, and the multiplication and regionality make the variety of the land possible.

"So... do you want to tell Victor to import more from the Demon King's side?

Count Elvis, how much do you need?

Takeo asks Grandpa Elvis.

"Hmm?... hmm... before that.

Takeo, I've heard that for a long time, do you have a lot of harvest?

"Really?

"Um, Frederick, harvest... a lot?

"Yes, I got a real feeling because they told me the actual numbers.

Wheat production will yield about 120 kg, using the same 25 kg as this one.

There's a lot of work area, but this is 200 kg. It's amazing.

Rice will be a must to increase the self-sufficiency that Master Takeo said before.

Leave it to the Elvis family to assist the Bertes.

Frederick says.

"Um, Takeo, please.

And I said something like, "Souto," but what's that?

"Ah... Takeo, did you tell the Count about the rice?

I told Alice and Erica.

"No, I told Alice and Erica in East Town, but you didn't to Mr. Elvis.

"Yes... Count, what the Bertes are doing now is cultivating a method called land rice.

The yield is expected to be between 8 and 10 times higher than you expected this time around.

I talked to Takeo earlier. The rice to be tested later is 15x to 25x... 15x if you think at the minimum assumed.

In other words, if the rice is successful, the harvest will be 375 kg at 25 kg.

"Oh my God!"

"That's amazing.

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick are surprised.

"Well, that's still ahead of us.

Even if we convert the current wheat fields, we need to improve waterways and so on, and we can't be sure how to grow them.

Besides, it's hard to explain a field to someone who knows it.

That's why Takeo pushes with land rice, too.

So for the time being, we will go by land rice.

We'll have to reform the next generation of Smith.

"Um... well... it's a good thing there's hope.

Frederick, I don't want to spread the word "Rikuto" right now.

"Yes, we should promote it if it tastes so good with more cereals either way.

Frederick snorts at Grandpa Elvis's words, too.

"Grandpa, how much do you import from the demon kingdom for popularity?

If I could, I think it would be better to export a little for the 3rd Crown Prince family.

Alice asks, Erica also turns the eye she expects.

"Mm-hmm... well..."

Grandpa Elvis was troubled.
