The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

The forest in the middle of most of Red Gard territory is getting in the way of Red Gard territory. I'm so sorry, I want to do something about it.

... but that's not what I can do right now, and I have to think about it carefully... for now, it's on hold.

And most importantly, the colonists are coming.

"Ah, um, nice to meet you. Thank you in advance."

When I said hello, this time, the 10 farmers Fei hired with the Red Gard family handlers looked a little strange. That's right, Faye's dad, brother, or if Faye's still greeting, I know, but it's me.

"It's Kirigo Kamikami. I am managing this forest with the Redgards. Ask me if you have any questions about this forest. [M] Then, I'm not very familiar with agriculture, so if you think I'm the one who will eliminate the inconvenience of eating, clothing and housing for you...."

When I said that, he looked strange. [M]

"How could a child like this manage the forest? It looks like '. Yeah, I know how you feel.

... but some of the farmers are very polite after they look at me and look a little surprised.

After the greeting, I met with representatives of the 10 farmers (the person who came alone, and the people who moved in with the family were the head of the household) or set up a place to hear the request for food, clothing, and shelter, but there were also people inside who treated me like a king. About 2 out of 10.

... those people say, "Um, are you the spirits of the forest? '. So I said," No. "And then, one of them says," Well, hello, dragon...? I was asked, "No." It's not a dragon.

The other eight people looked at me and looked strange, but no one made fun of me or complained about my handling. That's good.

In other words, there were a lot of responses like, "I don't know how hard it is for a child like this."... maybe they're looking younger than their real age. Because I'm Japanese, I guess I'll have to give up to some extent... Mm-hmm.

Thus began the field by the forest.

The seeds sown in early summer are quickly sown, and after 10 days, buds begin to emerge from there.

The field is a field, and the water for the farmland is to be used from the forest.

... that's why I let the water spring. A little downstream of where the dragon lives, the spring springs up, and if the water overflows from the dragon's crystal lake, it becomes mixed there. Since magic seems to be effective as a fertilizer for crops, I hope this will improve crop growth.

"How's it going?

Budding emerged in the fields, and the farmers were shredding and weeding each other, and Fei came to visit them.

"Yeah, it's going well."

The fields are in order. Too good.... talking to farmers, saying, "Stream is the territory of dragons. The crops are growing fast! '. It seems to be early.

... maybe because the woods are full of magic because the indigo is so powerful and lush. Ah, by the way, the indigo grows again and again after harvesting, and is increasingly used for indigo dyeing of Lyla. Lyla was happy that it would grow dry whether she used it or not.

Indigo is an important grass for her. I'm glad you grew up well, too.

I see. Well, that's fine. Tell me if there's anything missing. Don't try so hard on your own. Dear Spirit! "

Faye laughed brightly and said so, and slapped me in the back. [M] It hurts a little, but I don't hate it because it feels good.

"Hmm... if you insist on what's missing, personnel?

Thinking about it, I said yes. [M]

"I think we can increase the number of fields a little bit. So, if there were more people, there would be more fields."

Now I'm seeding tomatoes and stuff, but it looks like planting potatoes and carrots will start soon. And vegetable leaves I don't know.... many different world vegetables are a little confusing. A mysterious potato. Mysterious vegetable leaves. No, it's good because it's delicious.

I see. Well, why don't we recruit a little more?

"Yeah, sure."

When I said so, Faye laughed and accepted. [M] It seems that they will advertise more to the people under the Royal Government.... if anyone is in trouble without growing crops, I'd like you to come over here. For each other.

"So, can I work with the 10 groups I hired earlier on the terms and conditions of employment?

Yeah, I think so.

Laocles said, "It's a lot higher than the market," but I'd like to raise my salary a bit. Why... after all, I think you have the courage to leave the land where you originally lived and come here. I want a salary commensurate with that. In the meantime, I have the money I got from selling the jewels.

"Okay. If there is an applicant, can you send me the paperwork?

"Yeah, so...."

... no, wait. It's a corner, so maybe you should come here directly. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like the next field right away. I would be happy if you could raise a lot of potatoes and earn money in Red Gard territory.

"No, I'm glad you brought me the paperwork."

"Hmm? Really? Well, if that's how you do it, that's fine. Would you like me to take the carriage out of the kingdom and ride it?"

Yes, please.

... so the next people might come, so I'm expanding the field.

Thinking about it, I also made fruit trees. As long as there are people to take care of us, there will be plenty of fruit trees. Just around the time of fruition, I painted a lot of apricot trees and kept them alive. And pears, peaches, apples, and mikan trees.... it's my favorite fruit. [M] Yes, it is.

And a few more houses... that's it.

I was wondering if you'd come soon.

If the next people come, I'll have them harvest more and more fruit. I drew it out with the fruit in it, so I want someone to do it quickly, and I would be glad if you came soon.

"Oh, I'm here more than I thought, Corn!

I see.

Faye says, "I'm looking for a farmer in Red Gard territory! Rent homes and fields to people who want to stay! If you want to live permanently, just give it to me! Fully equipped with farming equipment! You'll receive all the crops you harvest, but instead you'll get 25 gold coins a month! There is a salary increase!

"... under these conditions, I suppose."

And Laocles, who saw the advertising paper that Faye hit, looked like she couldn't say anything.

"How did you decide on this salary?

"Hmm? I was doing similar things under the Royal Family. The one who buys all the crops and pays the wages instead. I was trying to imitate it."

That's what Faye said, and he came up with a few sheets of paper. Apparently, similar job advertisements appear in fields under the Royal Family and other territories.

"See? Yes, I do. It's like this... and it seems to have some advantages. Paying your salary means you get paid whether you're rich or not, right? Then life is good or bad and stable. Farmers have one advantage, don't they? That's why it's good for us. If you distribute all the crops in one place, there's less waste."

In a sense, it's the same as hiring an employee in a factory. So, the distribution is led by the facades, reducing waste and increasing efficiency. I see. It might be quite interesting.

"... that's good. But isn't it expensive?

However, Laocles looked a little complicated and saw other job advertisements.

"Almost double the price."

Job advertisements are lined up with letters like "13 gold coins" and "15 gold coins".... wow.

"Oh, that's okay. That's it. I'm not going through all the applicants originally. I've got ten pairs of applicants coming in first."

Faye laughed a bit invincibly and said so.

"If the salary is high, a good guy will come. Collect all these guys and you'll get something good. Besides, if you want him to live near the woods, you can't trust him. So, don't you think this is a good salary?

Are you going to interview me and tell me if I pass or fail? I see. Well, I don't want people who aren't very motivated to come, and if anything, I don't want spies or weird people coming, so maybe it's a good idea to increase the magnification.

"Isn't that nice? If there's an exam, even spies from other territories will come in and butt in, and if it's a big thing that doesn't butt in, it's quite possible that I know it."

And if Mr. Crowe does the interview, it'll be perfect! Bad people don't get through! Wonderful!

"Well, it was a bit more than I expected, so it was hard to choose...."

I see. But I don't think there's much we can do to attract good people.

"So, Fei-kun. How many farmers are applying this time?

Mr Crowe quickly took out the paper and the pen. It's in secretarial mode. I can count on you, Mr. Crowe.

"Hmm? Roughly 100 people"

... but as soon as Fai said that, Mr. Claire, I stopped the pen for a second.

"... 100 people"

Looking at such a Crowe, Fai... smiled and answered.

"Oh, 100 people!

... Hatake, do we have to expand even more?
