In order to build the harbor as we planned, we need to reclaim the shallows near the coast.

　This is because it is necessary to have a dock and a deep water area adjacent to each other in order to build a monster fighting ship.

　At ......

　If the reclamation is done with a large amount of earth, the water will erode the land and the site will collapse.

　That is why the area to be reclaimed needs to be enclosed by a revetment (i.e., a rock that is resistant to erosion) first.


≪The "Original Coast

Shallow water

　Like this.

　After enclosing the area where they wanted to make a new shoreline with a "seawall", they filled the shallows with earth.

　The breakwater was built by extending it long and thin toward the continuation of the asase.


　But, well, ...... but.

　This is quite a large civil engineering project.

　This is quite a large civil engineering project, and we need a good number of people to work on it.

　First of all, except for 50 members of Gitaro Bando's unit, who are on leave, the remaining 100 members of the unit will all be put into this project.

(We will ask the 50 people on leave to join us at a later date.

　Think of the abilities of swordsmen and offensive wizards as heavy civil engineering power, so to speak.

　But even then, there was still a shortage of personnel, so they recruited from each village.

≪''A new port in Farumo!　Manpower requirements. ≫(a)

　When we set up the "banner" with such a complaint, people from six of the seven villages (other than the outer villages) came to join us.

　There were 230 people from Nakamura, 116 from Isomura, 30 from Kimura, 8 from Tanimura, 2 from Okumura, and 2 from Shimamura.

　There were nearly 400 people in total.

　They all knew that the harbor at Tokumo was in shambles.

　The construction of the new port was a common project that would motivate the entire population of the territory.

　Well, there were old men and women, and wives with their children, among the people who had come," he said.


　By the way.

　Shohei Yoshioka said that when we had been building the dikes on the river, he had said, "We're going to build a dike for everyone, so help me out! I've heard that everyone was quite willing to help (without any special compensation or remuneration to the individual) if I asked them to.

　So again, we could have treated this time as a 'volunteer helper': ......

"This is the time to issue ppt debt.

　The merchant said, so I gave all the labor force (young and old, male and female) involved in this business (young and old, male and female) my [PT IOU], just like 'Maid's Wages' and 'Offering from the Chief'.

''Haha, ...... I'm the debt king of Tohumo, right?''

Hmmm, I'm not quite ready to say that yet.

　I ridicule myself, but Garcia doesn't seem to be satisfied with that.

　Well, it's still too difficult for me to understand the 'pt' thing, but since I'm starting to understand that my -pt (debt) creates someone else's +pt (asset), I thought I'd just follow Garcia's lead for the time being.

　I said I'd leave the financial matters to you.


　Gaga-gaga ...... basha, basha ...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, kiiiiiiiiiii!


　At any rate, 400 villagers and 100 troops - a total of 500 people - began to build the port.

　How to divide the work among these 500 people was also an important point.

　First of all, they were divided into three groups as follows


Group A: Mining stones for coastal protection and transporting them to the coast ...... 200 people

Group B: forming a stone revetment ...... 200 people

Group C: digging up earth for embankment and storing it in front of the proposed port site. ...... 100


　Team A is led by Akira, the excavator, who is in charge of the team A. He is the one who knows which areas of the territory are suitable for the shore protection, based on the geological survey.

　And he is the one who knows which parts of the territory are suitable for the revetment based on geological surveys.

　Well, Akira's reclusive nature was a cause for concern, but his skills on the digging site were exceptional and he soon succeeded in winning everyone's respect.

It's a good idea to have a wizard blow it up for you at ....... The swordsman crushed the stone for us, and we're going to carry it with us .......

　It's still a poorly spoken but accurate instruction.

　The landlady (who is Akira's sister), who came from Okumura to help out, was

Is that Akira the grainsetter?

　I was so happy to see him roll his eyes, which was very heartwarming even from the side.


　Next, Group B was led by Shohei Yoshioka.

　He had been the leader of the embankment construction team last year, and as you can see, he had the ability to supervise civil engineering. (I've heard it's not uncommon for priests and priestesses to be in charge of civil engineering in a community.

　Shohei's Team B built a seawall from the edge of the river with stones sent by Akira's Team A. Then Team C installed Nao as the leader.


　Team C settled on Nao as the leader.

　The reason being, "Where shall we get the soil for the embankment? When it came to the subject of

What do you think about extending the canal that was built between 'Kimura' and 'Nakamura' to the port?

　The reason for this is that Nao's idea of a "good idea" was so good that we adopted it.

　I mean, when you dig a ditch in a waterway, you get rid of dirt, right?

　When you dig a ditch in the channel, you get rid of the dirt, right?

　If we use the soil for embankment, we can kill two birds with one stone, a "waterway" and a "reclamation".

　If the waterway is to be extended to the port, the soil can be brought in from near the proposed port site.


　The traffic on the canal will be reduced by

Kimura" → "Nakamura" → "River" → "Kan" → "Yakata" → "Port

　The plan is to connect the two.

　It's too big to be a by-product, isn't it?


　And so the harbor construction went smoothly.

　But, however.

　In another month or so, the most populous 'Nakamura' would be busy with rice planting.

That's already a good thing, if you remember what happened last year: ......

　Igarashi, a native of Nakamura, said.

　Indeed.

　When the territorial unit was founded, we couldn't get many people from Nakamura for rice planting, so we started with 25 people.

　By then, we should be able to complete the reclamation of the shallows near the coast and prepare the groundwork to start building the dock.
