Amazing Village Building Chapter 49: I’ll make a road for you

Good morning, Dant-san! Did you manage to sleep well last night?

Ah, Luke-sama, good morning. Yes, thanks for the accommodations.

Dant-san seed refreshed this morning, like a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

He didnt look so well yesterday, but it was probably just because of the long journey he had.

Similarly, Dant-sans guards who looked even worse than him yesterday were now also looking better.

Luke-sama, there were so many things that surprised yesterday that I forgot to tell you sothing

Dant-san suddenly put on a serious expression.

Naturally, that made wonder what he wanted to say.

For taking in the people of the North, I sincerely thank you.

Oh, okayactually, I think I should apologize for that. I an, I did take away so of your citizens

No, please dont. Its entirely my fault for allowing their living conditions to deteriorate to the point theyre forced to leave their hos. So, rather than reproach you, I would rather thank you.

Thank goodness hes not angry for that.

AndI realize this is awfully shaless of , but can you perhaps sell so of your food to us? To be frank, the North is currently suffering from famine

Apparently, they werent able to harvest many crops this year.

Add in the taxes and

In my opinion, now just wasnt the ti for wars.

Many people have managed to take refuge in this village, but they were only a small fraction of all the people suffering from the famine.

Yeah, of course. We actually have more than we can consu right now, so youll be saving us from wasting good food.

You really dont mind?

Yeah, definitely. If it turns out that we need more food, we can simply increase the number of our fields. Plus, given the nature of our fields, were able to grow crops even in winter.

The majority of our over 1000 villagers worked in agriculture, so workforce wasnt an issue either.

Im really glad to hear that. However, the North lacks coin right nowif possible, may we offer goods instead?

Sure. Our village was made just recently, so there are so many things we still lack. Wed prefer it to be that way, to be honest.

Thank you, Luke-sama!

Dant-san said so and then bowed his head repeatedly.

His family was the noble house that ruled this place before the Albert house took over, so unlike most governors who ca from outside the territory they were assigned to, Dant-san truly and deeply cared for his people. This probably made his inability to oppose my fathers directives even more vexing though.

Alright, so, how are we going to exchange goods? Should we send soone?

I think itll be more convenient for the both of us if I ask a trusted rchant company to send their rchants here to give you our goods. The rchant company I have in mind has branches all over the North, so procuring what you need and also distributing the food to our people should go smoother than if our own governnt offices were to do it.

I see. Alright then.

One of the things I wanted out of this deal was clothes.

At the mont, we had no way to make clothes in the village, so everyone was washing and re-wearing the sa clothes over and over again.

If possible, I would like to have completed several deals already with Dant-san before winter really kicks in. Snow and other things would hinder travel, after all.

Afterwards, Dant-san notified that they would be departing as soon as possible.

I asked him to stay a little longer, but he wanted to go back and notify the rchant company right away.

And so, I traveled with them up to the outer walls gate to send them off.

Please co visit again.

I definitely willI look forward to what this village has beco by then.

Haha, itll probably be the sa.

When Dant-san boarded his carriage, I suddenly thought of sothing.

Ahh! Traveling though this wasteland must be tough, right? Ill make a road for you.

excuse ?

I made the road in the village stretch all the way to the end of the end of the bumpy wasteland. I couldnt see all of it, but I sohow knew that it reached that far.

Like this, even the rchants who would co here wouldnt have to suffer a bumpy journey.

Thank you, Luke-sama(so much for remaining the sa. The village has changed before I even left!)
