2493 - - 67-16 Saichi Village
The village of Saici.
It is a village on the outskirts of Hamsus, a town about 20 kilometers north-northwest of Resonare, the capital of the Principality of Norway.
It has about 90 households.
According to the information Jin gathered in advance, the number of households is 88 to be exact.
The main industry is agriculture, and the main product is wheat.
Climatically, there is a fair amount of rainfall. The climate receives some rainfall, but mainly in winter.
This is because the north wind, the winter monsoon, brings moist air from the sea in the north.
On the other hand, in summer, when the weather is dry and sunny, winter wheat (wheat that is sown in autumn and harvested in spring or early summer) is grown.
The fields are rested during the summer.
If it can be sown again immediately after the harvest and harvested in two seasons, the harvest can be simply doubled.
This is possible as long as there is plenty of water, since there are no crop failure due to <>.
However, since labor is involved, Jin intends to confirm this with his own eyes.

On August 8, Jin visited Saichi village. He is accompanied by Reiko and Hope.
To avoid startling the villagers too much, the <> was parked a little far from the village, using <>.
It still surprised them enough. .......
"Well, my name is Jin Nido. I have been commissioned by the king to make this village a better place to live and develop.
Jin Nido then showed the chief the letter of attorney he had received from the king.
"Well, this is indeed an official document. You said ...... that you are Jin-dono, so what exactly are you doing?"
Ike Nibiki, the village chief, who was still in his late forties, looked at Jin as if he was searching for him.
"First of all, we need to improve the infrastructure."
"Infula ......?"
Jin, realizing that the word "infrastructure" was not understood, quickly added an explanation.
"First, we dig a well. Then we'll build a reservoir. We'll also build a sewage system."
At first, Jin estimated that this would be all that could be done in a short period of time.
"What, ......?"
But the village chief did not understand his estimate and looked at him strangely.
"Proof is better than proof, let's get to work. We will not bother you at ....... We will do all the work and you will not be inconvenienced. We will do all the work ourselves, and the cost of materials and such will be paid for by the principality.
When Jin said this, Ike agreed.
"In that case, I would be happy to do it for you.
"I'll leave it to you.
As Jin answered, he regretted a little that he had not brought someone from Hamsus to help him.
He understood that he would have been surprised if a stranger came out of the blue and said, "We will develop this project.
(It was a careless thing to do (......).
So Jin thought of pretending to go to get the materials later and bring someone from the government.
But then.
"Oh, Jin-dono, you have already started, haven't you?
Nahams Marrow, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Technology, arrived in a Golem car.
"This is Mr. Malraux.
The mayor seemed to recognize Nahams Maloh's face.
"Chief, this man is an important guest for our country and a great help to us. Please do not be rude.
Yes, sir.
Jin was relieved that he had come at the right time.
In fact, the old man, who had anticipated this situation, had sent a deus ex machina to the village.
* * * * * * * * *
"Welcome, Lord Machina!"
Prince Kees Tennic de Norha personally greeted Makina at the airfield.
"Hello. You said ...... that Jin was here?"
Makina is supposed to speak in a rougher manner than Jin, but he uses polite words as is expected when dealing with the Prince.
Makina pretends that she has noticed Jin's absence due to the lack of a at the airfield.
"Yes, Jin-dono is currently on his way to a nearby village to try to build a of some sort.
"I see. Is there anyone from your country accompanying him?
No, just Jin-dono.
Makina looks as if she is thinking for a moment and then speaks up with some advice.
"I think that is a little careless. If possible, it would be better to send someone from your country.
Makina explained that the local people might not listen to what Jin, a stranger, had to say.
"Jin would not think much of such political matters."
Not only the king, but also the prime minister, the minister of administration, the minister of magic, the minister of technology, and others who had greeted Makina together were upset at this.
"Yes, indeed, that is true.
The Prince was a bit dismayed and instructed the Prime Minister.
Send someone quickly!
"Yes. ...... technology minister, do you have the right person?
The Prime Minister asks the Minister of Technology,
The Prime Minister asked the Minister of Technology: "Yes, I will send the Undersecretary, Mr. Malraux. He has visited the village several times.
The minister suggested Nahams Marrow, the undersecretary of technology.
"Then I can take you to the village by . I can carry a car or so.
Makina said,
"Oh, that would be very helpful!
The people of the Principality of Norway expressed their gratitude.
Thus, Golem cars and Nahams Marrow, the Undersecretary of Technology, were able to come to the village of Saich in a short time.
* * * * * * * * *
Thank you very much for coming.
Jin expressed his honest gratitude.
"No, it would be too irresponsible of us to leave everything to you, Jin-dono.
Nahams Marrow, walking alongside Jin, stated the stance of the Principality of Norway.
"I am late in coming here because of the advice of Makina-sama, so I can't say too much about it, but..."
"No, no, no."
While having such a conversation, Jin was searching for underground water veins.
"<>...... should be here."
Once the location of the water vein is found, digging a well is a piece of cake. Of course, he chooses a place where there is no <.
"<><><>"
"Oh!"
In an instant the hole was dug, the surrounding area was raised and the well was complete.
Jin remembers the old days with a nostalgic ...... feeling.
"Here, attach this pump that I've prepared ...... Reiko, Hope, help me."
"Yes, Master."
Yes, Father.
This time we prepared a deep well pump. The depth to the water vein is 30 meters in this area.
Here's one.
Oh, you're so quick!
Here's the second one.
Jin-sama, you're the best!
One after another, Jin dug wells and installed pumps.
The pace of his work was about one pump every ten minutes.
In the end, Jin installed 10 wells that day.
"......"
Nahams Marrow, who had been following him all along, was at first amazed, but by the end he was so amazed that he could not speak.
