I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 934

"How's it going, Christina? How's the rice shopping going?"

"Yes, it's okay, Mr. Alphonse.But are you sure you're okay? The storm is likely to come, but is it bad enough? "

"... honestly, I don't know.But I believe it because Eye says so.Well, even if it was a mistake, it wouldn't hurt that much.Rice can be preserved. "

Advice by Eye.

It means buying rice from the surrounding farmers as soon as possible.

As soon as I heard the advice, I talked to Christina about it and moved to buy rice.

Christina was half-hearted about the story.

Thanks, because the crazy prediction this year was that it was going to be a good crop.

Originally, there were river floods, so many farmers are not so optimistic, but it seems that they still expect to be able to harvest enough rice.

In that context, it would be natural to question whether it is necessary to buy and collect rice from now on.

So I thought about it to convince Christina.

How can we not lose as much as possible?

And the answer I gave was not money, but an exchange of things.

Buy rice now that is expected to be harvested in the future.

I decided to pay for it in addition to the money.

It's a magic tool.

Convenient magic items such as earthenware pots and heated cookers that can be made by the Balkan mercenaries.

I decided to use it to pay for rice.

All of the magic equipment made by the Barca mercenaries is mass-produced using Watch Practice , which is tailored like an art piece by the extraordinary craftsmanship of Galius.

And all the magic equipment was unloaded against the banana.

As a result, all were treated as luxury goods, which were hard to reach by the general public.

The magic equipment, which is such a luxury item, can now be obtained cheaply in exchange for rice that might become abundant this year.

Luxury products are really expensive.

Even if there is a lot of rice, it is called a luxury product because it is not even available normally.

It was said that such a luxury magic item could be purchased at a discounted price using cheap future rice.

In other words, the farmer will give me rice and pay for the magic equipment.

Therefore, from my pocket, there is no payment at all at present.

At first glance, it might look like a deal that doesn't make sense.

But when I held the deal with the farmer, a lot of people raised their hands.

Apparently, there were many people who wanted to try the magic tools rumored to be in the city.

Because the congressman Banaji is selling it, the village farmers have no means to get it, so they had to give up the ultra-luxury goods.

If it can be bought cheaply in exchange for rice, I have been told to exchange it as much as possible.

Normally, this would be a pretty bad deal.

In fact, it seems that the merchant who heard this story twisted his head.

But as far as I'm concerned, there's no problem at all.

If the magic equipment itself has clay and magic stones, and if there is knowledge of the magic team, it is cheap to say that it is a luxury product.

I mean, there's nothing to lose.

"Still, it's a storm. It's raining hard before the rice harvest, and when the wind-dropped rice ho soaks in the water, it won't work.Does that mean I'm worried about you? "

"Maybe, but there are other river floods?In the event of a storm that is not comparable to the heavy rains that have occurred in the past few years, the flood damage will also spread.If that happens, I wonder if the newly restored fields will be useless. "

"I'm scared, Mr. Alphonse.My house could be damaged. "

"I see... I see. Then it might be better to keep the mercenaries in other villages safe.Maybe it would be better if there was an evacuation in case of an emergency or a brick building. "

It's important to make money, but I'm worried the mercenaries won't get hurt.

Maybe it would be better to do something we can do from now on.

Basically, it might be better to build a dike or a dam so that the river doesn't flood even when there's a storm.

The Kyle Dam near the Balkaline should have been connected to the agricultural waterway.

But the time has come.

I don't know when the storm will come, but there's no way we can do such large-scale construction now.

Well, that's the job of Orient Country, not the mercenary regiment.

In that case, would it be realistic at least to check the elevations that can be evacuated when the river floods and instruct them to build buildings that are resistant to heavy rain?

I told the mercenaries to take countermeasures, half-hearted as to whether the storm was really coming.
