The informal meeting of the heads of state was still going on.
"...... I have one more thing to tell you."
Gerhard, the Shoro emperor, straightened his posture and opened his mouth.
"Rita?"
"Yes, yes!"
Rita, who had been small among the dignitaries, looked up.
"This is Rita. ...... Commander Fritz, please explain."
"Yes. I came here from the Kingdom of Egelea, and when I was stranded in Tellurus, I found her by chance. ......"
After briefly explaining the circumstances,
"The first problem is that she was supposed to be employed for a limited period of time, but she was treated like a slave, or even a slave, by the <>."
The place is abuzz. Although there is no as we know it on earth today, there is still an unwritten law.
The slave trade was supposed to have ceased to exist before the last magic war .......
Fritz goes on to say
"The second point is that there are local lords who approve of this kind of trafficking ......".
"I am more than a little ashamed of them."
"Your Highness!"
The voice belonged to Cesar Valois, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Celuloa.
Everyone kept their mouths shut and turned a little pale.
The conversation had been lively, but this was the Kingdom of Celuloa. The fact that the Dauphin had asked .......
"Oh, Your Majesty, His Highness Cesar already knows."
"What? I didn't ask him.
I have no idea about that. ......
Fritz explained that he had been afraid to talk about the Dauphin in his absence, rather than to explain.
The Dauphin Cesar smiled softly and reassured everyone.
"I have already met with the Fritz and Gloria the other day and we are going to take care of Rita's case.
Everyone let out a relieved breath.
"And this Rita thing is probably just one of many. Until all of them are resolved, there will be no peace for the people.
"Well, that's a noble idea."
The heads of state and government sighed with relief when they learned of the Dauphin's good character.
The meeting then proceeded to a meeting with the Dauphin Cesar.
At first, there was some hesitation, but as the man himself expressed the bad points of his country without hesitation, the content of the meeting gradually heated up, helped by the awareness that it was an informal meeting.
"I think one of the reasons is that we are not self-sufficient in food," said Prince Arthur.
Prince Arthur said.
"That's true," said Prince Arthur. Even apart from this problem.
The Empress nodded.
"Then we should take into account the <>, don't you think?"
Marquis Florenziano said.
"I see... I mean to average the goods, or rather, to reduce the uneven distribution of them.
This is the Dauphin Cesar.
"To achieve this, we need to develop the means of transportation.
Reinhard proposed,
"In that case, we are developing shallow-bottomed vessels to carry supplies using the rivers!
Marcia speaks up.
"I think it's also important to choose the right crops.
Marchese Florenziano speaks up again.
"In the Shoro Kingdom there is a potato called Itopo. It is not very popular yet, but I think we can expect more of it in the future.
This is Reinhard. This is Reinhard's wife Bertsche's favorite < named <>.
"I guess you could say that such things are . In the Kingdom of Klein, they're starting to make soba noodles, too.
Everyone listened attentively to what Lioness, Prince Arthur's valet, had to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here you are. It's time for lunch.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now noon.
The assembled members left their seats and headed for the cafeteria.
Jin secretly thought that it would be beneficial to the world to hold a in the future.
He also wondered what he should do for that purpose.
* * * * * *
The lunch cushion did not change the flow of the meeting.
Since it was not a formal meeting, the place was still the recreation room. The host country, the Kingdom of Selroa, is very doubtful about how they perceive this gathering, but those in attendance are engrossed in the content of the meeting.
The topic of the afternoon was <>.
Of course, the term <> was first coined by Jin.
Infrastructure in this world refers to the facilities that form the basis of industry and daily life, specifically roads and waterways.
We must find a way to speed up transportation and make it possible to transport large numbers of people.
The emperor first makes a proposal.
"I noticed that when I was marching with this time. Or, to be more precise, Cynthia, a female knight of the Kingdom of Klein, came up with the idea of using huge wide wheels to make a flatter and smoother road," said Fritz.
Fritz said. This idea should have been kept secret, but since it was originally Cynthia's suggestion, it was not a problem,
"Ah, the road roller.
Jin said casually.
"Do you know such a tool, Jin-dono?"
Lioness Ashford, Prince Arthur's valet, asked confidently with a look of admiration on her face.
"Yes. A road roller is a huge iron wheel with a wide width. By rolling it, it is a tool to flatten the ground.
"Well, the construction itself is so simple that you can build one in no time."
Gloria's father, Boulton, nodded and said.
"If the road is flattened, the wagons will be able to go faster," Gloria's father, Boulton said with a nod. As a result, the flow of goods will be smoother.
The Duke of Brouw said. He seems to have been the first to notice the benefits of the road improvement since he knew about the golem horses and carriages that Jin had given to Prince Ernest.
At the same time, the distribution of goods by ship using the waterways is also discussed.
"If we standardize the boxes that we use to store goods, it should make it easier for countries to receive goods from one another.
The Empress mentioned an idea she had been thinking of.
"I see, that's true.
"We are using something similar in Kunlun Island. We call them .
At Jin's comment, the participants nodded.
I see, <>. I think it would be more convenient if we use the same terminology, so we would like to call it that.
"Let's go with that."
"For loading and unloading, a giant golem like <> would be very useful.
"That's true. But they are not easy to get ......."
"No, if you don't need to be agile, there are plenty of ways to do it.
Jin offers his help.
"Well, the words of the Magecraft Meister, Jin-dono, carry a lot of weight.
"This is a perfect topic for a gathering of people from various countries.
Jin adds advice and explanations at appropriate intervals, and the conversation moves along at a brisk pace.
The conversation is lighthearted, but I wonder if everyone realizes that this is a world-changing topic.
The story is told in a lighthearted tone, but I wonder if everyone realizes that this is a world-changing story.
"My king, are you sure you want to leave them alone?"
Lefort de Orange, the representative of the Kingdom of Franz, the only one not participating in the discussion, asked King Richard of Celuloa, shaking his stocky frame.
"Very good, isn't it? "Well, that's good," Richard replied. As long as there is no harm done, we will leave it alone and only ask for the results.
"I see. I'm afraid so, sir."
Despite his bragging, the Shinobi Forces that Jin has created had already detected the existence of the listening device long ago.
However, since the content of the <> was peaceful, they had decided to do nothing for now.
So, the <> was unexpectedly attended by representatives of literally every country.
Unfortunately, there were two countries that did not have a say in the , but since the Kingdom of Celuloa was barely represented by the Dauphin Cesar, it can be said that only the Kingdom of Franz was unable to speak, even if he wanted to. He is not aware of it. .......
