Work…. work is…. (;_;)
Besides that, thank you for over 3 million pageviews, and 300000 visitors!

I visited the city of Nidea after approximately 180 days.

The fields have been expanded, not of which all have been seeded, but if we look only at the size, it’s close to being twice as big as half a year ago. The extension itself was done by me, but its maintenance was taken care of by the limited agricultural staff. It goes without saying that I am greatly thankful to Nina and Helen, as it was particularly hard for the two of them.

The fishing industry staff is now working to steadily increase the number of ships for deployment. It has recently finally become possible to transport goods with personnel on board, and due to its small size it is able to move at full capacity. Seafood has become a staple food in the city nowadays. However, there is a slightly negative factor to consider, which is having to train the new staff in swimming, which will possibly lower our efficiency. I have no choice but to believe in Tina.

The wood industry is exclusively working on the construction of houses, but the improvement of its technical capabilities is obvious. If you have to build a lot of houses, you will want to improve your skills. At present, we devised a method of a.s.sembling only wood without using nails, prototyped it, and showed the movement to suppress the consumption of iron. When the staff increases, we may make them an independent organization. Now even wood figure carving and furniture making is done firmly, and because the technology and scale used is completely different, they are way too advanced.

By the way, the value of each money, if it is compared to j.a.panese yen:

Copper coin -> hundred Yen

Silver coin → 5 thousand yen

Gold coin → 50,000 yen

I would like to try these rates. Money is generally used for buying small things like food, so we decided to hold down the value. The reason is that n.o.body can purchase much if the amount becomes too much. Although we may manufacture something like ‘big gold coins’ with a value of 100,000 yen at some point. Actually I wanted to set currency units like “yen” and “dollar”, but I abandoned that though, as there is no one else who is familiar with those in this world, and therefore it may take time for people to adjust.

The design of the inscriptions was made with motifs of flowers, crops, ears and tails of various families.

Starting with the completion of smithing the products, the products are then brought before Nidea’s Ed and Raymond for verification. After that I confirm the progress of the gathering of sub-people and detailed arrangements. Then I return to the city and visit each department to have meetings, give guidance and secure resources for the development of new land. As well as creating clothing, residence, an education curriculum for new residents, to find out how to deal with personnel increase in each division and other points which can be improved. Anyway, I lack time.

“To die now is the worst timing, I think?” (Ferris)

“Well. It is also the result of my own behaviour and ambitions that this is now the situation…… Therefore, I can’t really despise these hardships. But that also means there is a reason to be healed. ” (Georg)

Ferris occasionally raises a seductive voice like this. But, she knows well that my hands can’t be stopped with only that.

Right now Raymond and Ed are still working stealthily, but with 1000 people being transported there’s only a couple years left until it is revealed. They do not do anything that makes them stand out this time, but they are gathering sub-people from various places more carefully through a number of intermediaries. In order to protect their own positions, I gave them a time period of 200 days.

Therefore, we will look towards other countries.

“Yeah, that’s right …. the result of talking with Ed and Raymond; I think I will move in the Wilhelm Empire in the North, which is said to have the most sub-people.” (Georg)

Wilhelm Empire. It is a powerful country that holds the northern part of the continent, with a population of about 7 million to 7.5 million, a standing army of nearly 60,000, and a maximum mobilized force of 100,000 to 150,000, a powerful country without complaints. It is said that countries in the south side are still managing now by cooperating with each other, but if one country collapses it will be able to break the equilibrium. However, the empire is not completely centralized because of the size of the country so it seems to have the disadvantage that it takes months to prepare to mobilize.

“Indeed…” (Ferris)

“Gu…get away? What? Ah….tsu! Ha……ha…..tsu!” (Ferris”

This is a brief time of rest. Both of them knew well that it was the calm before the storm.

New residents, new inst.i.tutions, new land, everything keeps changing in their tumutuous lives.
