And that’s when he taught me things I hadn’t been taught until now.

First of all, the Margraviate of Carruthers is located in the Northwest of the Kingdom of Ploiss.
The Principality of Aust is on most of the Southern border of the Kingdom of Ploiss.
The Kingdom of Frasia borders almost all of the Western border.
And it seems that the country on the Northwestern border is the Demon Country.
There seems to be a country to the Eastern border, but we don’t have much contact since they’re considered a barbaric country and there has been no detailed, extensive contact.

It seems that there are frequent clashes with the Principality of Aust, but in general, we often collaborate with each other.
Basically, the Kingdom of Ploiss and the Principality of Aust seem to be hostile to the Kingdom of Frasia in the west, so it’s probably an alliance of convenience and shared interests.

The western Kingdom of Frasia is the arch-enemy of the Kingdom of Ploiss, and it seems that they have been hostile for a long time.
Damian’s home country is the Kingdom of Frasia, and even though the states have a hostile relationship, it’s not a time of war, and it’s not possible to ban all human traffic.
There is also trade, and it seems that people come and go, emigrating normally.

There seem to be a lot of small countries in the east, and Ploiss despise them as barbarians, so there is not much detailed information.
It seems that the basic policy of the Kingdom of Ploiss is to cooperate with the Principality of Aust in the south to deal with the west and the north.

I don’t know much about the Demon Country in the northwest.
Marius wasn’t very articulate and didn’t explain too well.
However, the demons are the common enemy of all humankind, and it seems that in order to deal with the demons, it is possible to cooperate even with the enemy Kingdom of Frasia.

Margrave Carruthers protects the border between the demons in the northwest and the Kingdom of Frasia in the west, and it seems that this region where the borders of three countries meet is a hotbed of conflict.

And there are creatures called monsters in this world.
Unlike wild animals, they are ferocious and dangerous beings that seem to exist only to attack people.

Our mansion is built with its back facing northwest.
The border area between the Kingdom of Frasia and the Demon Country is the forest behind my house.
House Carruthers is here to stop the forces invading from outside the border.

It seems that there are no monsters in the forest behind my house.
I don’t know why.
One theory is that monsters are controlled by demons, so there are no monsters in the forest to the northwest where you’ll find the Demon Country.

Of course, the credibility of that theory is uncertain.
To begin with, if demons can really control monsters, wouldn’t they try to devastate their enemy countries and damage their national power? However, there seems to be a story that monsters were used systematically during the war, so it may be possible that the demons are using monsters.

Anyway, by coincidence, monsters rarely appear in the forest where I raise chickens, so the chickens haven’t been harmed so far.
However, monsters appear around the town, so if you want to run a ranch, monsters will immediately come and attack your livestock.

That cows in this world are so ferocious may be that they evolved to protect themselves from monsters.
And the strangely underdeveloped livestock industry is probably due to the influence of monsters.

Even so, I have no intention of giving up.
If I don’t do farming and raising livestock, I can’t afford the food I want.
I’m not sticking around just to eat the food I like.
Imbalanced nutrition will create sick people like Katharina, and having a rich diet is directly linked to the breadth of your national power.
If food is poor, there will be many early deaths and few births, and the population will not increase.

In addition to Marius, I also called Helmut and Isabella and told them my plan.
I think I’ll try it on a trial basis with the cooperation of these three people.

First, secure a place.
Monsters rarely appear in the northwest forest.
That’s why I decided to build a ranch in the north.
The west side facing the northwestern forest does not need to be protected so much.
I only need to protect the east side, and it’s not too far from my house’s training ground, so it’s easy for Father’s army to rush there.

The farm is going to grow sugar beet first, so I have no choice but to find land suitable for cultivation.
Each crop has its own suitable conditions.
Even if I choose a place on the spur of the moment, it doesn’t make sense if the crops won’t grow in it, so I hire an old farmer who had retired from day-to-day work to guide me.
The workers are mostly orphans and children from poor families in Kazan.

In a normal family, the children should also help out with their work, so there is no point in forcing someone who is already working to come along.
We are also looking at revitalizing the economy by giving new jobs to those who have no jobs or are in need of work, so we will hire such people as an economic measure.

The old farmer who is no longer expected as a labor force on a normal farm will instruct the children of poor families to grow sugar beets.

As for livestock farming, it would not be possible without a leader who is used to the work to some extent, so there is no choice but to bring in a veteran from somewhere.
The labor will be hard, so we need to hire young, energetic, and strong people.

I’ve been able to raise chickens to some extent, and it’s not that hard, so I’ll let the children work to some extent.
It will be difficult to take care of cows, so the focus will be on those who are reasonably older.
Of course, some of the children who will be future laborers are also included and learned about that side of the farm, but very young children and those who do not have physical strength are sent to other jobs.

And I entrust important secret work to some truly trustworthy people.
That job is to make sugar from sugar beets.
If it’s just sugar beet cultivation, it’s just considered livestock feed, so there’s nothing wrong with cultivating it.
I am already trying to make a ranch, so everyone will think it’s fodder for the livestock.

In fact, sugar beet waste is used as feed for livestock.
But before that, squeeze it to make beet sugar.
In this country where sugar is precious, if we make sugar on a large scale and monopolize it, we will probably make a lot of money.
Use the profits to expand the farm.
Increase the number of species to be cultivated, expand the ranch, and increase the number of livestock.

Since it is the first major product for cash flow, it would be a problem if it was imitated by other places immediately.
That’s why sugar-making can only be entrusted to people who can be trusted.
Someday it may leak out and beet sugar will be made here and there, but I’ll be in trouble if I don’t get it until I can afford it.
Otherwise, even the initial cost may not be recovered.

When I told the three of us about these plans, they nodded in surprise.
Let’s go hunt the monsters that are approaching the north side of the ranch.
If you do that, it will become a battle training and kill two birds with one stone.

Thus, I submitted a proper plan, received permission from my father, received funding, and started my first business.

Footnotes

The key problem here with births is more “child mortality” than “pregnancies successfully carried to term.” Once a child survives past their early years, they’re generally good for the rest of their life.
