395 Home affairs and employment measures

The Kingdom of Fontana must be strong.

It fought head-on against the old power of the Doren royal family and won independence by demonstrating its power over it.

But that's not the end of it.

The Kingdom of Fontana must continue to show strength in order to continue to maintain its independence.

But that never means you keep fighting your opponents outside all the time.

Would it rather be the other way around?

Strength must be stored inside the kingdom so that it can withstand even if people are blocked off at the border.

It means we have to do our internal affairs and enrich our country.

Firstly, the most important thing is to improve food self-sufficiency.

The quickest way to do this is to use Barca's magic.

but they can't just take Barca humans, so this time they decided to give Barca magic to three battalions as engineers to the Fontana Army.

This engineer will be used to perform [finishing] and [soil improvement].

I have seen many lands so far, all of which have low agricultural skills.

There is no doubt that merely [soil improvement] of existing agricultural land will significantly increase yields rather than perhaps new exploration and expansion of agricultural land.

Besides, it is also a good opportunity to conduct a checkpoint as a Fontana army.

We shall make sure that the size of the agricultural land is checked.

At the same time, stretch the road network and tracks all over the place.

This also has a surprisingly foolish effect.

I can say that I have a strange item called a magic bag, but that is still a super luxury item that I can only own some things with valuables.

Normally I have to put my stuff on a luggage truck or something and move it around.

In that case, the speed of travel varies dramatically depending on whether there are solid roads.

but it was personally significant that the development of the road network would make it possible to travel by transfer stone more than that.

Somehow, if it is a land connected by roads or something, it is possible to jump from one transfer stone to another when a transfer stone is installed.

So we must also connect the roads to the Loubich and Hermes districts, or to Bootica territory, which is outside the defensive walls of Carmus.

But I had a more important home affairs job personally.

That's disaster preparedness.

Disaster is very troublesome.

It is like being subjected to force majeure violence, to which human power is not extended, and whose sudden events will cause the territory to be heavily damaged.

So what is the disaster that needs to be dealt with most?

A few years ago there was a major earthquake.

but measures to combat earthquakes are actually not given much importance.

That's a big reason why there hasn't been much earthquake before.

More often than not, there are disasters that occur a little more frequently and cause greater damage to the territory.

That was a flood.

Flooding is a phenomenon that temporarily and rapidly increases water levels due to heavy rainfall and other effects, thereby flooding the river.

I have also heard stories in previous life describing flooded rivers as "dragons are raging," etc., and the letters dragons and snakes were also used in the name of the land.

A nightmarish event in which people, things and land are quickly pushed away by the effects of the weather.

But still no man can leave by the river.

The land by the flooded river also replaces fertilizer for growing crops with fertile soil flowing from above.

Therefore, no matter how many times a flood occurs, man returns to the land by the river and begins operations again.

but that's exactly when it will be time to get out.

Even if we do not now rely on the soil flowing from upstream, we also have the means to nourish agricultural land.

Better not damage the murmur and get a steady harvest.

That's why I decided to embark on a river flood control to help the Kingdom of Fontana grow more stable.

"You haven't been here in a long time. Which, I wonder how Kyle Dam is doing?

Measures against river flooding.

That said, I'm not trying to do anything completely new.

We're just talking about doing what we've been doing throughout the kingdom of Fontana.

In order to prevent flooding, I think the most important thing is to change the river flow itself.

Naturally established rivers can be crooked with gnats, but that's not a good idea.

No matter how many embankments you are building in the carb area, the more heavy rain you have the higher the water level, the greater the risk of flooding.

To this end, it will also be necessary to carry out work to change the river flow itself.

However, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation in advance to work on it.

You also decided to investigate from the sky using airships, binoculars, etc.

I decide to give the Reed family man up in the sky and look down at the land from above and have him [read].

So while I was gathering information, I decided to look into the dam.

Dam, that may sound like a big deal, but what I used to build was a dam like a big pond.

This is named Kyle Dam.

Kyle Dam also stores water in the summer, and some uses it as an agricultural waterway that allows water to be flowed into the waterway and sent to agricultural land if necessary.

I think I'll make something similar to this all over Fontana.

but it needed to be re-investigated before that.

Because dams can be filled with dirt and sand that is shed by river flows.

According to what I heard, even in a few years or so, the pond dam can be buried or something.

So I came to see how this Kyle Dam was made a few years ago.

This Kyle Dam is hitting one hand at accumulating dirt and sand.

That was about releasing slime into the dam.

Slime was a viscous organism living in Lake Paramere, where the Parameter Fortress was located in the former Arborest territory, and was also the guardian of the fortress of the intransigence.

A terrible biological weapon that has once been used as a brutal and ruthless means of attack to melt the Urk army.

"But it's strange what an ecosystem is. Looks like slime and fish coexist. And there's no accumulation of dirt and sand. Looks like Kyle Dam is working well."

But this Kyle Dam seemed to function without any particular problems.

With the examination of Lake Paramere to recreate in the dam the environment suitable for Slime to live in, Slime coexists without destroying the fish altogether.

Furthermore, thankfully, the accumulation of dirt and sand at the bottom of the dam had also prevented slime.

According to those who had entrusted control of the dam, this Kyle dam is perfectly fine without maintenance for several years.

Can we decide that this has enough continuity along with practicality?

That's what I decided after Kyle Dam's inspection.

Thus, the Kingdom of Fontana was to begin dam construction throughout the country.

This would also lead to the creation of jobs, as would the construction of royal tombs and so forth.

It is not only the engineers of the Fontana army, but also the refugees who have managed to receive them safely, while providing a place to work by public utilities.

Of course, wages for the job are paid in Barca silver coins.

As a result, in Fontana, Barca silver coins were to be settled not as local currencies in Barca alone, but as one of the currencies widely and commonly used.
