Chapter 159.2: Nobles of Eld
「Is something the matter, Chiyuki-sama? Are we going to increase our cultivated lands again? The likes of lizardmen are no match against the power of Hero-sama.」
The noble of Big Land spoke to me.
He was 60 years old and originally a noble from the Holy Republic of Lenaria.
When he heard that we were creating the country of Eld, he gave up his position as the patriarch of a noble family of the Holy Republic of Lenaria to his son and came to our country with a small part of his family.
By the way, Big Land was his nickname. This nickname came from the fact that he managed so many lands back in the Holy Republic of Lenaria.
The development of most cultivated lands in Eld was in his hands. Most of the ox needed to cultivate the field was provided by him.
「I've said it before. Big Land-Dono. We're already self-sufficient, and currently we have no urge to reclaim the wetlands. Our current focus is to maintain the city without increasing the number of cultivated lands.」
I said so while shaking my head.
In fact, I wanted to increase the number of cultivated lands for emergency situations. But, I didn't want to disturb the lizardmen, who lived at the waterfront, more than we already have by increasing the number of cultivated lands. That's why there was no plan to increase them.
