Chapter 2476: 2476 - - 66-42 Conversation 115 Tenancy, の1

In return for his assistance to the Principality of Mimaka, Jin was allowed to conduct agricultural experiments on the lands of the Principality for a period of ten years.

Of course, it is said that this is not enough as a token of gratitude to Jin, and that another reward will be considered when the four principalities are at peace.

Aside from that, Jin is determined to develop the inland areas where water is scarce.

The first thing to do is to consider crops.

Topaz Leader, one of the five colored golem maids in charge of agriculture, is called in.

Topaz, is there an upland rice crop that is resistant to drought and does not cause crop failure?

"Yes, there is."

He answered immediately.

"However, the taste of the rice is a little bit lower.

"That can't be helped."

Jin decided to use the rice from the rice plant.

"And ...... sweet potatoes and buckwheat are resistant to drought, but I don't think buckwheat will do."

Buckwheat is difficult to grow at high temperatures.

For this reason, even in modern Japan, buckwheat is grown mostly in cool climates.

"And then there is that cactus..."

A type of cactus that Reinhardt and I ate at Trockenbahn the other day.

It was quite delicious.

"Do you have any more?"

"Yes, I also recommend mini-tomatoes and onions.

In other words, mini-tomatoes and onions.

In Horai Island, they are often called by names that are familiar to Jin.

"The yield will be lower, but both varieties are resistant to heat and drought," he said.

"Oh, that's great!

And watermelons would be good too.

"Oh, yes, of course.

That's enough for now, Jin ended the pickup.

The land was rented by Jin as a leasehold.

Jin rented a plot of land about 30 kilometers west of , a town on the road that runs north-south through the principality of Mimaka.

It is about 200 square kilometers, 10 kilometers from east to west and 20 kilometers from north to south.

When asked what he would do if there was interference from the Duchy of Jagus, Jin simply replied that he did not care.

In any case, the people who are engaged in the development of farmland in the land are all golems designed for Horai Island. The golems for normal combat use would be no match for them at all.

Moreover, this time they were planning to send in 100 units of land troops.

The old man said.

"No, you just fight back when they mess with you, okay?　Oh, and those who want to harm the Principality of Mimaka.

...... please?

So, we decided to try it out on a field of one hectare per crop.

"Okabo rice, cactus, mini-tomatoes, onions, watermelons..."

This means that five hectares will be used as a field.

Cultivation was done by 100 landowners.

One rando covers a standard (?) acre of wasteland. It takes about 5 minutes to cultivate 1 hectare of standard (?) wasteland. 500 minutes for 1 hectare.

One hectare takes 500 minutes. 100 units plowed 5 hectares, so it took only 25 minutes.

The land leased for the project was 200 square kilometers, or 20,000 hectares.

The remaining 19,995 hectares will continue to be cultivated as farmland. However, in consideration of unforeseen circumstances, Jin had instructed that 90 days would be sufficient.

"Interesting experiment, isn't it?

Saki is also interested in this type of activity in Horai Island.

"If that land is used as farmland, I don't think there will be any crop failure.

"That's possible."

<. Even though it has been abandoned for a long time, Saki said, it has not lost its function.

"It's just like any other land," he said. Compared to the years of neglect, the difference in the length of time the dukedom has been cultivated and used is probably within the margin of error."

The soil was set aside for agriculture tens of thousands of years ago. I don't think a delay of two hundred years or so in starting to use it would have made the land any thinner," Saki said.

"I'm sure it wouldn't. Well, if the first trial grows well, we'll change the variety and see how it goes."

Jin is thinking, for example, of trying a variety of upland rice that tastes better or yields more, even if it is a little less susceptible to continuous cropping.

"Because we live in a land of everlasting summer, we can grow rice throughout the year, and in two years we will be able to select the most suitable variety.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess so. I'm looking forward to it.

When Jin is busy with the affairs of the principality, Saki also keeps an eye on the fields.

"I see... I'll leave it to you then..."

"Yes, I'll leave it to you."

The old man is in charge of the whole process, so I don't worry about any problems that might arise.

I don't mind that there will be no problem.

Now all we need is water.

"Yes, I checked it out the other day and there was no problem in pumping up the right amount of water, right?

"That's right. We should also build a reservoir for irrigation.

Jin thought it would be a good idea to have about a hectare of them at appropriate intervals.

"That's experimental, isn't it?"

"It will be. That's why we have an agricultural experiment station.

Jin thought that the agricultural experiment in the arid region could be applied to Hale as well.

"And the technology to make the land fertile. It would be nice if we could bring that to Hale, too."

"That's right. That's part of the experiment, isn't it?

That's what I'm talking about.

The agricultural experiments on this leased land will be very useful for the future of the Principality of Mimaka and other duchies.

At the same time, it would also be useful for the redevelopment of the planet Hale, which Jin and his group were currently working on.

"You're a busy man, Jin.

Saki laughed.

"Yeah, I'd really like to relax and enjoy the slow life on Hourai Island. But for some reason, I'm always busy.

"Hmmm... It's the fate of those with power, isn't it?"

Is that so?

"You're a djinn if you're not aware of it."

Again Saki smiled carefree.

A summer breeze was blowing on Horai Island.
