This ti around all of the products that were created were sold to the order of the knights serving under Marquis Webdos. We have been able to accumulate a total of 9 Million Zeni. This ti around, the products that we had didnt completely et the requirents of the other party therefore, I gave them a discount for so of the products to a reasonable extent
Hmm, was it 98 sandals, 20 boots, 49 m worth of cloth, and 10 cushions? Did the products I create really sell for such a high price? Considering that the price of a single horse is approximately a couple of million Zenis, this would an that we can at least buy a single horse and still have so spare change. At first I was worried that the trip wouldnt be successful but now it feels a little foolish for to have been so worried.
The proceeds that we earned this ti will be put into the various tools that we may need in order to continue making the rubber products. We also got a recomndation from Sendohel-sama and we managed to procure the goods at a lower price. The goods that we bought are these things
Saying this Hegard looked back to the wagon and he tore of the cloth covering an object. There seed to be quite a bit of baggage that was left in the wagon, and even after taking off the cloth cover, the insides were still hidden. Co on, if you dont open the bag, I cant see the contents~. Well aside from the things inside of the bags, I could see so things resembling tallic pans and iron kettles, what could those things be?
This is equipnt that was bought from a blacksmith who discontinued his business in Keel. This equipnt will be helpful when you need to pour the rubber into buckets. Another thing that was bought was a plow which can be used to plow the land. Later we can attach the plow to a horse and the horse can be used to cultivate and plough the land. If you have sothing you need just let know. I havent decided the fee for it, but I can at least lend you a horse
Hegard was proudly talking about the successes of his trip and everyone was cheering. Ueee~ You say that you are lending them the horse and the plough, but youre going to take money for it? But then again, if he were to just give these things free of charge, that would probably cause problems as well, besides, as long as he set the price cheaply enough, there wont be many problems, right? Anyways, with this we can probably successfully introduce dostic animals as a form of boosting our agriculture. Although it took a long ti before we were able to achieve the objective, I still have a feeling of satisfaction as we did achieve our goals.
In regards to the plow, I will give a presentation to cover it in more detail tomorrow. And there is one last thing that I have to talk about. Presently, the person that has been making the rubber products is Al from my family, but considering that we will need to make more products than ever before, we will need a lot of manpower to sustain it. Therefore, it will be necessary to increase the amount of people that help make the products. Even now, we need to quickly produce sufficient amounts to fill the orders that have already been requested, there is a mountain of things that we need to get done
Hegards says this as he looks around surveying everybody.
Taylor, Enbelt, Arnold..and lastly, hmm lets see. Diane. and Myun. Diane is not here right now, but please let her know later. From tomorrow, all the people I called out will start learning about how to produce rubber from Al. Farne and Mill have already started to learn, and any trivial questions I will leave up to Farne to answer tomorrow. You guys got that? And last but not least, although this is natural, I will obviously pay you wages
The people that had their nas called out were the sons and daughters of various retainers working for our family. Only Myun was in her twenties whereas the rest of the people were around their young teens. Enbelt and Diane have just barely turned 15 years of age, and Arnold is only still a young 17-year-old. Well because hes a dwarf he already has a beard growing even though hes a midget. Taylor was 19 years old and the oldest if you didnt include Myun, however, if I were to apply the common sense of Japanese culture, then he would still be considered a youngster. Nevertheless, young people are said to have absorbent minds, this should be good for learning and mory. Allow to do my best to properly train them.
Also if this business gets right on track.. it may still take 3~4 years to really take off. I cant really promise anything, but I really want to make this village take over the rubber product industry. From here on out, I would like to borrow everyones help for rubber production. So that we may accomplish our goals, you guys can assu that you have quit the agriculture business and you should devote yourselves to rubber production
Although everyone obediently listened to Hegards commands, there was so people who seed uneasy when they heard quit the agriculture business. The young people I ntioned before and their parents especially seed to be a little anxious. In my opinion, being delegated into producing rubber is actually sothing to be happy about.
Is there any questions?
Hegard was wrapping up his talk. It was at this ti that various hands went up from the crowd. One of the people who raised his hand was Beckwiz, who was a retainer to Hegard.
Excuse , in the end, did you visit Vicount Kindo on the way back ho? Listening to the talk from before, I think that Viscount Kindo, is also really interested about ordering so of the rubber products
When they heard this, starting from Hegard, all the people standing behind him had a change in expression. Dont tell
Ah..In regards to that. I completely forgot. This is bad isnt it.I probably should go back tomorrow I will head back to Doritto.
On the evening of that day, Hegard talked to us again after our al.
Farne, Mill, have you guys beco able to create rubber products?
Yes, but I think that without the help of the mo prepared by Al, I wouldnt be able to make it yet
Farne said this. I guess this is to be expected. Starting from learning how to harvest latex properly, its only been three months since he started learning the process.
Is that so, then Al should begin instructions on how to properly gather the latex. Ahh, , when I say instruct, I of course an the newcors Taylor and the others. Farne. You need to quickly co to grips on the correct mixture and ratio of creating the rubber products so that you will be able to create it without the mo, this is your most important objective. Starting from next year, you will be enrolled into the order of the knights working under Webdos, therefore you need to have perfected the art before then, alright?
After saying that, Hegard turns his face towards Mill.
Mill, have you been able to dry the rubber with the use of your magic?
Yes, Father. Ive already learnt how to do so. Even Al has told that Ive done good
Yeah, Mill is capable of using every kind of magic without trouble other than wind type magic, therefore, although she may not be as effective as at it, she is still able to dry the rubber with efficiency.
Alright, Al, Ill depend on you starting tomorrow. We will probably be able to buy a couple more horses in the next three months, so we will need to build an additional barn. In approximately 10 days, the workers and builders from Doritto should arrive here in order to construct the barn. Everyone, rember not to be rude to them. If you do, it will give the whole Greed Family a bad reputation. I also order the builders to create a rubber manufacturing shed for you guys, before building the barn. The manufacturing shed will be placed next to a vacant land near the riverside. Al you can think about what you want for the shed so that it will be easy for you to manufacture. If you tell when you want, I will convey that ssage to the builders
Yes, Father. I understand. I also have a question, would it be alright to ask?
I wanted to ask about the blacksmithing tools.
Nn? What is it?
In regards to blacksmithing tools, is there anyone in Bakuddo village who can use it?
I have a general idea of how to use it. But the rest you need to manage by yourself. Even if you need to employ people, you may do so
Eh? ?
This was unexpected. If Hegard had a general understanding of how to use the tools, couldnt I ask him about it and do sothing with magic? No no, if possible I need to think of a thod in order to profit. (TL: sorry guys I had trouble with this sentence, it may beco more clear later when blacksmithing cos up)
The morning of the next day, Hegard woke up early and departed towards Doritto. After depleting my MP in the morning and having a good rest, I t up with the mbers who will be working with from now on in the garden during the afternoon. To start off with, I should take them to the place we can collect the rubber trees. Because all of the people gathered here have been trained in the sword and hard labour of farming, they seed to act as if the two-hour trip to get here was nothing. Although considering that it took two hours for my short legs, in truth it probably wasnt that great of a distance.
We went to the actual location and I instructed them in the thod to properly gather the latex. I had already installed various buckets under the rubber trees, so all we really had to do was collect the contents of the bucket. After collecting the sap, we needed to make a new cut in the tree, but considering that the previous cut was there as an example, it wasnt really hard to replicate the action. Even though they didnt have much experience, because there was so many people that participated in the harvesting, we managed to end the collection in surprising swiftness.
After that, we brought back the gathered latex to the village (from 200 rubber trees, we can gather about 40 kg worth of latex every 10 days. When the latex is made into rubber, less than half will remain) I handed it over to Farne and Mill. Because it was already night ti, although Farne and Mill started to create the ingredients such as the grinding the charcoal and sulphuric ore into fine powder, the actually process of mixing the ingredients to create rubber will happen tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the rubber will be refined and will be poured into the mould. This is also not very difficult work. I have already prepared the mould and all they really had to do was carefully pour it into the mould so that it doesnt spill everywhere. After pouring it into the mould, us brothers and sisters would use our magic in order to dry it. In this way, the rubber production would be completed at an accelerated pace. It is more efficient since us three brothers and sisters have worked together, and because there are even more people with us now, its even faster than before.
As long as we had enough of the latex, we might even be able to supply the order of the knights with the goods within 10 days, the irony is that the item that takes the longest ti to create is actually the product that uses the least amount of rubber, this product is the boots. The reason for this is that it is not possible to make the main body of the boots without spending ti. The boots obviously need pig skin, and the process of gathering the skin adds to this ti. In any case, for the ti being, I made the insole of boots, and the bottom part. The good news is that Hegard has already purchased the boots and it was a simple process of remodelling the boots, after creating a sample for the others all I had to do was leave the rest to Taylor and Enbelt.
rely explaining the special characteristics of rubber and how to properly pour it into the mould took a great deal of ti. When people have to be taught, I guess its true when they say that ti will rapidly pass.
Hegard returned from his trip, and Viscount Kindo also made additional orders, the builders are also proceeding to build the shed and the barn. For now, there is no apparent problems. And so I let my guard down.
It was at this ti that I received a report from Myun. That among the builders who ca from Doritto, there was actually a spy liaison working amongst them.
That reminds . The builders havent finished their work yet. If I killed another one, will it cause troubles? I asked Myun to identify the target and I casted my appraisal on him. Oh what, hes level 6? His mouth is always half open and he seems to be an absentminded type of guy. We still have so ti; how should I deal with this problem I wonder? Should I wait until night ti?
