167 Episode 166: Summer Agriculture

side: Kuyuan Ichima Agricultural Testing Village

"You're growing up looking good."

"Yes, the villagers are delighted. The stems grow thicker than the rice in the neighbouring village. Looking forward to pruning some rice."

When I came to the agricultural testing village a long time ago, the elderly and the women were encouraging me to take weed out of the fields. The men are at work in the popularity of Qingzhou, and it seems they are farming only with the women and the elderly.

The growing of rice is not bad. Talking about village chiefs, they have better fertility than the fields in the villages around them.

Was the salt water sorting good or the orthopaedic planting good? Both, I guess?

Looks like weed removal has gotten a lot easier. I guess it's because of the orthodox planting. It depends on the yield.

"How's the soy and soba? You should harvest some of the soybeans and eat them all."

"Thank you!

Other soybeans and soba are also planted in the village. It is dangerous to make a single crop of rice when disaster strikes or disease becomes endemic.

Soybeans are going to be around for eating soon as edamame. If the villagers don't like it, I'll have to give them instructions. About Edamame needs to be told to eat in anticipation of the time.

Twenty-day radish and palm influence or nutritional status is not bad.

"Speaking of which, how's the goat?

"That shouldn't take long. We all drink milk as well. We are delighted because it is delicious."

Yeah, well, I'm also keeping a pair of goats here with a stallion and telling everyone to take goat's milk as a pill.

At first, I was going to say it was because it was good for my health. I was advised by the sneakers that I should take it as a pill, so I tell them to all take it in order as a pill.

The village chief reacted well, but is it delicious with goat's milk?

I wonder how terrible my diet was until last year.

"I will report to you. People from other countries are coming to see how things are going."

"Am I the one?

"Probably."

Mr. Village Chief was followed by a minister entrusted with the village's deputy mansion.

I've left the villages to my family of sneakers to take my place, but lately it looks like someone from another country has finally arrived here.

The aim would be gold cannons and gold liquor. Are you here to explore whether it's a secret of gold liquor in this village?

"Are you looking at the fields?

"Ha, because it stands out. It's just that sometimes I come to see what's going on when I understand that there's nothing special in the village."

You can't hide a full-blown plant. I don't mind if they look at me.

The problem would be that Ogi has free access between the two sides.

That said, it is not possible with a great deal of hard work and effort to prevent the sneak of moving freely through the mountains at the current technical level.

"The wood vinegar fluid may have leaked. If there are rumors in the neighborhood."

"Fine. We're the only ones who know how to make it so far. Even if we find a way to make it, one effect is known. You don't have to be vigilant."

The minister I'm entrusting to is concerned about the wood vinegar solution, but he originally did it under the assumption that the technology in this village would be okay to leak.

If we expand new agriculture after next year anyway, it won't be very much, but we can't hide it.

More than that, it's just a rumor in the neighborhood, and I'm glad everyone acknowledged the effect.

"I think more villages will do the same way starting next year. Talk to the villagers a lot and listen to all the foolishness and stuff."

"Ha, I understand"

In these days, if you leave it alone, you don't report a lot of problems or anything. I hope we're coaching you to report the details.

Should I tell you about a triand-error or something?

This agricultural testing village is visited by Oda ministers, so it's hard to manage it plainly because of the need for explanations and entertainment. The deputy minister is accommodating alcohol and food.

I'm going to reward you in the fall, so I want you to do your best.

side: Kuyuan Ichima Ranch

"Guys, I'm gonna reap this today."

I came to the ranch today before breakfast! Yes. It's a new crop harvest.

Speaking of things that already boil hot water in a large cauldron and then harvest it when it's ready...... Corn.

The country of origin is around Mexico, and it seems that it was brought to Japan by the Portuguese during the Warring States.

Well, what the Portuguese brought you is flint corn for feed that says it's the future?

We planted a variety of sweet corn in a space fortress. You're the one who made it easier to grow and more resistant to pests.

Corn is a crop that can be given to one of the world's three largest cereals in the future. If it's the same as a watermelon and the South Barbarians bring it anyway, it means we'll get ahead of ourselves.

In Japan, cereals are more like vegetables. Especially the sweet corn, except to be dried and preserved, because if you don't boil it as soon as you harvest it, the flavor will definitely drop.

Somehow I plant a lot on the ranch, but mostly if I give it to Nobunaga and Shinsu for what we eat, I'm done.

I got a lot of land, and I planted a lot of it. I'm just planting it on a trial basis, and I don't have enough to sell it.

"Is this the new crop"

"Boil freshly removed and it tastes great"

Not as much as the hemp harvested the other day, but corn also has the height or more back length of people of this era.

All the Els gathered on this day, as well as all the Androids staying at Ogi, such as Linmei in Tsushima and Cindy in Hotfields.

There were two samurai together per person, and including escorts and such would have gathered a good number of people. There's a thousand women inside, looking at the corn wrapped in skin and beard.

I guess to all of us, Nanban looks like a very wealthy and food-rich country.

The corn can be stored for a long time by drying it.

Because there are soybeans in rice and wheat in Japan, I don't think it's going to be that popular. More crop types in the future will enrich your diet, and you will be able to cope with famine or something.

"Dear Katie! I could take something so splendid!

"Peel and remove your beard. The skin becomes fiber and the beard becomes medicine. And then the core becomes fuel, and the stems and leaves become fertilizer."

"Yes!"

By the way, the most popular of our androids anywhere is Ketty.

I guess the advantages of being a doctor are still big. He's got the same doctor, Pamela, but he's got a lot of mouth, and he sometimes looks more like a doctor to me than a childish Pamela.

When you go for a walk, you often get vegetables and mountain vegetables along the way and come home.

We're still on the ranch this day. There's a lot of orphans and residents' kids around Lily and Ketty.

It is not steep but is on the increase when it comes to orphans.

In this day and age, there are more children because they do not use contraception. If the medical environment improves, more children will grow up safely, so measures will be needed early.

It would be impossible to raise an orphan from Oda territory on the ranch alone. I guess I'll have to increase the number of orphanages.

People of this era will also understand the significance of orphanages when the children they grew up with become adults and active. Few people understand that it's the status quo.

Sometimes the problem is that even real parents are fine and throw away their children. Tsuyoshi also reformed the area during the Edo period when it was a historical fact. Too much preference for dogs to be slapped in future generations, but Tsunagi's policy isn't basically bad. Well, I just ordered you not to slaughter a wild dog with a knife attempt. I mean, that was the time to go through.

I don't like Confucianism because it has an image of the original world personally, and I'm not willing to actively make it popular though.

Well, make it Buddhist, Confucianism, because each of them is conveniently improved in times and countries. Although I don't think Confucianism itself is necessarily bad. I guess we need to improve our morals.

The children watch the guts and the corn that can be boiled, without ever getting tired of it. It's a crop we planted ourselves, and I'm sure we're looking forward to it.

When you look at the smiles on the children's faces, you want to save lives that can be saved without being too bound by history. Even if that's hypocrisy.
