83 Episode 83: Industry

Our current industry is paper and salt.

This is accompanied by garnet, which has just been robbed recently.

Even now, these three factors keep the country's finances alive.

But we need more money.

Flood control, capital construction and road construction will begin.

Anyway, money is needed for ironware production and the spread of horses and cattle.

And I want to spread the money economy to the country quickly. I think other industries are needed for that.

The paper, iron and garnet are produced exclusively by the government.

That will increase the state's income, but will not enrich the people.

In addition, paper is not used by Japanese people, and garnet is bought by some landowners.

While acquiring foreign currency is important, expanding domestic demand is also important.

People in the kingdom of Rossais kingdom need products that can be bought a little.

My first thought was to recommend whiskey, vodka, grappa and other alcoholic beverages.

If the current single distillation still is changed to a continuous still, mass production of distilled liquor is possible.

I don't know how a continuous distiller works, but let's throw it at a craftsman.

It should make something like that. That is fine if the performance is not worse than that of the conventional still. It only needs improvement over several years.

Wine is made in any rural area.

After that, what has been exported without aging until now can be aged properly.

Well, it seems that it will be possible to export in earnest after three years.

Grappa is aged for about six months, so it can be turned into alcohol.

The profitability will be high because the squeezed cake that has been thrown away can be reused.

Beer is not recommended.

I'm not sure, but Adernians and Christians don't seem to like beer.

Originally for Adernians, wine is a drink that can be split with water.

Beer that you drink like a bath and don't dilute with water is considered barbaric.

In the first place, barley is a major aspect of livestock feeding and is not preferred.

So I hate beer.

Vodka is made of barley, but it's probably OK.

Some drink vodka with water and drink it in the first place.

Well, there are some who drink like a part.

And recommendations for cultivation of flax and hemp.

I am worried about what to do with hemp.

"What about hemp?"

I asked Julia and Tetra.

As is well known, hemp becomes a drug.

Naturally, if you encourage cultivation, some people will grow hemp for entertainment.

It is a difficult task to crack down.

Originally in the kingdom of Rosais, hemp cultivation was not banned, because many farmers cultivated hemp.

It will lead to deprivation of jobs and will not be able to meet domestic textile demand.

But cannabis is a drug.

I often hear, "Cannabis is less toxic than tobacco."

I've never done cigarettes or cannabis (yes, that's right).

If not, it would be better to stay alive.

Public safety will worsen and medical costs will increase.

It can also be a financial source for anti-social organizations.

I feel like I can put out the fire at this stage if I want to put it out.

If you become a habit, you can't erase things that can be erased.

However, you can make clothes from hemp.

The demand has been met recently because a large amount of wool is coming in from the Equus.

But unifying the Adernia Peninsula is likely to increase demand over supply.

The use of distilled spirits to spread dissemination methods through magicians reduces the number of deaths due to puerperal fever.

As the ceremony is gradually spreading, food production will also increase significantly.

This will increase demand for clothing in the future.

Should he monopolize hemp to avoid drug outbreaks?

Should hemp cultivation be encouraged to meet clothing needs?

"It should be proprietary. The fiber should be flax, not hemp. We don't need anything we don't need. Drugs that make people foolish should be regulated."

First, Tetra commented.

Flax is a very common fiber in the west.

My clothes are also made of flax.

Because it's softer than hemp. The feel is better than hemp.

Well, definitely flax is enough. Hemp may not be recommended.

"Hmm, I would recommend it. Flax cannot be grown continuously once it is cultivated. On the other hand, hemp can be rotated and mass-produced. It's a person or a bellon bellon. ''

Speaking of which, the Christians had a lot of cannabis poisoning ...

Will they spread naturally if they enter the country?

Christians "This is so fun" Adernians "Seriously! Let's try it!"

A bad Christian. Do not drop the pure Adernians on the dark side.

"If you ban drug use, you must ban trade with other countries. If not, why not reopen?"

Hmm, what should I do?

"Then, let's just stop recommending. First, we only recommend the cultivation of flax. Let's stop hemp cultivation as a nation. We will recommend it when demand increases and supply becomes insufficient."

Eventually a compromise was taken.

"Hey, Almus recommends cow, pig, and horse production, but sheep don't recommend it. Why?"

"Because sheep are raised by the Equus, I want to avoid trade friction, because the Equus' military strength is strong."

Thanks to the Alva Mountains, the Equus and the kingdom of Rosais have never clashed.

Horses cannot easily cross the mountains.

And the Equus didn't seem so interested outside the mountains.

But alliances change things a bit.

It is very likely that the idea of invading the prosperous King Rossais kingdom will be reached.

So I will destroy the seeds of conflict as much as possible. Neighbors have never been closer.

In that respect, cows and pigs have no competitors.

Cows become labor and milk is squeezed.

Pigs get fat quickly and are great for meat.

Horses are purchased from the Equus tribe ...

Equus horses are suitable for war horses, but not for farming horses.

It is better to produce farm horses on their own, as war horses are purchased from the Equus.

"I like river fish better than pork."

"I prefer fruits to meat"

It's all about being healthy, but that's why it's a little.

"By the way"

Julia lowers her voice.

"I told you to unify the Adernia Peninsula. Are there any plans soon?"

Is it a war?

"I don't have it right now. I'm just a king. I want to focus more on domestic politics."

Now that the construction is done by hand.

If you have a war you will have to stop.

"At least after the standing arm training is over."

"What is training like?"

I call Ron, Rosword and Gram and listen.

Ron is in hoplite, Rosward is in cavalry, and Gram is in archers and lancers.

First, Ron opened his mouth.

"There is a difference in skill between soldiers who were in the standing army in the territory of Asus and newly recruited soldiers.

There is no problem for heavy infantry.

Next is gram?

"From the beginning, archery requires skill. This standing army is a group of archers and hunters, so the skill level is reasonable. I don't seem to be used to handling long bows.

In other words, there is no problem with archers.

After ... Rosword?

"Speaking of that, what is that blonde doing? Are you still a soldier?"

He said he bought himself and stopped the slaves.

"It's Virgal. He's a parlor in favor of a prostitute. So he's working as a soldier. Most of the other former slaves are like that. I want more money, and that's why."

Oh, that was good.

It's unsavory when the Germans exit. A decrease in strength.

"The skills of the newly added cavalry and the old cavalry are too different. It can't be talked about .... And only the ex-Germanis slaves can compete against the Equus. "

Is it difficult?

"Well, the cavalry is hard to train. Well ... I guess I'll buy it from Ains ... but I'm not good at relying on foreigners ... Please do my best. I don't want the Equus level. That's fine. ''

There is no way to beat the Equus.

They are born cavalry.

"Is there a war soon?"

Ron asked.

"No, I'm not going to wake it up for now, but ... it's a little more likely."

The kingdom of Rossais has grown to Ikki.

The population has now exceeded 200,000.

The population of King Beldiber in the south and King Evil in the west is about 100,000.

It's not funny to be considered dangerous.

The exiting stake is struck.

There is plenty of danger of doing things like Nobunaga's siege.

"That's why the standing army is important because it can be moved quickly. Without the permission of the royal family.

"""I understand!!"""

Now, the standing army has no problem.

Is it safe for a while?

"Speaking of which, when do you get married?"

When I asked, all three turned their faces red and turned away.

I haven't decided yet. Set the date and time soon.

"Bartolo. What is the kingdom of Domorgar like?"

"That's right. It seems that he's rubbing on the successor problem."

Bartolo also has intelligence on the kingdom of Domorgar.

I do, but you can see more about Bartolo, which has a neighboring territory.

"Why do you do that?"

"Isn't it tasty if you put a siege in the four countries Demorgar, Evil, Belvedir, and Equus?"

The Equus are allies, so they don't have to worry about being betrayed ...

Because there is no certain thing in the world.

"Yes ... Demorgar, Equus is not willing to invade Japan. Don't worry so much. Demorgar doesn't have such a room, and Equus is an ally. But can I feel relieved about the kingdom of Evil? ''

The reason is?

"Because King Evil is a cautious man. It won't happen so easily. It's difficult to establish a siege as both Demorgarh and Equus have no intention of invading our country. King Evil doesn't move."

Conversely, if Domorgal calms down and Equus changes his mind, it is possible.

"What is Belvedir?"

"Come ... I don't know, but the kings of that nation don't like the rise of one nation, and the one who supported King Ferm's independence is King Belvedir, so there's a lot of potential, but ... others." I can't imagine that these three countries will move without being reluctant. ''

Hmmm ... no problem for now.

"Yes. By the way, what do you think of allying with the cities of the Christians?"

"Hmm, isn't it good?-It won't hurt us. Did you hear me?"

"What's Ains? That's what Lezad says about it."

It just comes out.

I guess Ains is out. He's going to develop power with a lezard against my background.

An alliance with Lezard would also be a check on Belvedir.

"What should I do if I go?"

"Hmm?"

"It's a honeymoon. Why don't you visit Lezad, Gehenna and Nemes now?"

That could be a good idea.
