Episode 107: No Touching Part 2

However, at that time, he couldn’t think of any other method, and even then, half of the crops died.

It’s a result of doing everything he could to make the fertilizer bag out of Isteria and to bring it into Isteria in the middle of the night so that it won’t be noticed, so it couldn’t be helped.

Kazura sighed; he had to apologize to everyone in the village later.

“Let’s do that, Isaac.”

“Huh?”

Isaac straightened his posture in response to Narson’s call.

“Choose some people you can trust. Let them command the garrison.”

“Is it okay even if it’s me?”

“Um, I’ll confirm it, too. Kazura, are you sure?”

“Yes, of course. I’m confident that Isaac has chosen the right person. I’d rather have your personality than your fighting skills.”

“Huh! Well then, leave it to me!”

Isaac bravely replied, bowed, and left the room.

“I’m going to use the reserves of the First Corps’ guard and deploy them in shifts of fifty men at a time. Although they are all old and not very strong, they are skilled and experienced soldiers. I think they’ll be perfect for this assignment. “

“I’ll leave that to you. Just tell them not to interfere in the internal affairs of the village.”

“Understood.”

Perhaps because Grisea Village was not so far from Isteria, so they didn’t seem to have a large number of people stationed there.

There is also the maintenance of security due to the presence of the military, but it seemed that it had a large role as a gatekeeper for outside contacts as well.

“That’s all I have to say about the rumors. There’s something else I have to report.”

“Okay. When you’re done, let’s talk about the construction plan.”

“That’s right. Now, as for the contents of your report, there is the status of cultivating the grain fields and the selection of new candidate sites, the progress of digging wells in the city, the progress of constructing ice ponds, and the potential sites for constructing ice houses, etc…”

“Well, there are quite a few. I also have a plan to improve the carriage and for the extraction of soybean oil and bean oil.”

After that, they spent time stating reports to each other until lunchtime.

The discussion was settled around 10 p.m.

They broke up earlier and were taking breaks and getting rid of other work.

As Kazura was reviewing the construction plan while drinking coffee, there was a knock at the door.

“It’s Liese.”

“Come in.”

As he called out, the door opened softly and Liese came in.

Normally, Liese would have been asleep by now, but she was still wearing her dress.

“Oh, haven’t you taken a bath yet? That’s enough work for today… what’s wrong?”

Kazura calls out when he notices that Liese’s expression is dark.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

“Yeah… I have something to talk about.”

“Well, yeah. Just sit down.”

He motioned Liese to a seat at the table and took out some herbal tea from the refrigerator.

He poured it into a silver glass and handed it to Liese, and Kazura sat in a chair.

“So, what’s the deal?”

“That… it’s about the salt of Gregorian territory…”

Liese closed her mouth and dropped her gaze on the table.

She seemed hesitant to divulge the details of what she wanted to say.

Instead, Kazura opened his mouth.

“Maybe we can handle salt. The price may rise temporarily, but with the help of the milling territory, we can do it. I don’t know if we can make something as high quality as the salt in Gregorn territory though.”

“Yeah, it’s not.”

Liese shook her head when he said that she may be worried about the flexibility of salt.

“It’s about reducing the scale of transactions… maybe it’s my fault.”

“What do you mean?”

Liese looked anxious at Kazura, who seemed surprised.

“There is a wealthy merchant named Nibel Ferdinand who always comes to visit me, but he is the one who controls all the salt trade in Gregorn territory. He has been selling salt to Istair territory at a discount of two percent since I started seeing him four years ago, but lately his attitude has become more and more blatant…”

“Attitude?”

When Kazura asked, Liese was slightly weeping.

“He kept touching me and trying to take me out of the house… I’ve managed to pass it off until now, but now there’s sudden talk of a reduction in business, and I think it’s my fault … I’m sure it’s my fault … And it seems that the discounts have been canceled as well so the prices are going back to normal.”

“Ugh, that’s so bad. I don’t know how you put up with it until now…”
