Chapter 114 Long Meeting

The day's long meeting was shrouded in confusion.

Usually, the long meeting is a place for people from different villages to communicate, such as marriage recommendations between villages, and to mediate disputes over hunting territories. If a major disturbance occurs, it will be held temporarily, but it is basically held regularly every other year. Its purpose is to strengthen the connection between villages and prevent unnecessary disturbances.

However, during the day, the meeting was thrown into chaos by a report on information sharing recommendations presented by the young chief of Dedent Township, Leleme. The report included information on the cultivation methods of Naves and a report on the current status of Naves Garden in Dedent Township.

“As the report you have just received states, the planting of Neves has been successful in itself.”

“Is this possible?”

"incredible."

Reactions from the elders varied, but most were tinged with skepticism.

“We’ll talk about the truth of the matter later. This is the sample I brought.” Lelem took out a thin sprout about 30 centimeters wide from the bag, with soil still on the roots.

"After testing, we found that shoots of this size will grow if transplanted. Although it has been a week since they were dug out, they will survive as long as the roots are not damaged. They will grow smoothly if they are planted."

“Will it bear fruit when it grows up?”

"The Naifus garden in Dedent Township had grown large enough that when Lelemu left the township, several of the plants had already blossomed. By the time he returned, the flowers might have fallen and turned into small fruits."

"Now we only have your report. Is there no proof?" asked Torunk from Osfar Township, representing the Speaker.

"It's impossible to prove whether it's real or not. Whatever we bring is the same as if it were caught in the wild, so it can't be used as evidence. So the only thing we can do is to visit the Naifus Garden in Dedent Township. If you have time, we'd like to arrange a visit."

"Oh, of course."

Many people are very interested.

“I want to ask Lelem.”

"What's wrong?"

“I know that nefes is a nutritious food, but as you said, will nefes change the food situation in the township?” asked Mujip, an elder in Suqi Township.

"From those who have inquired about the details, I learned that Nefs contains a lot of nutrients that are comparable to vegetables, and even richer than the vegetables in the dense forest. Although relying on Nefs may be problematic, it does have enough effect to survive even if you can't collect vegetables."

"Really…"

“Not only that…”

"Any more?"

Torrenque was clearly growing increasingly annoyed, but here the true value of the Neves Garden had to be demonstrated. If it did not, Dedente might be blamed.

Then, Lelem conveyed that they were even considering the sale of Nefs, which had a chance of success, and had sent people to the caravan site to select suitable merchants. The chaos in the meeting hall reached its peak.

To them, commerce is conducted by the Terrans and has nothing to do with them. However, the Dedents are spontaneously changing from buyers to sellers. They are imitating the Terrans' behavior, which goes against their common sense.

It is not recommended for businessmen to trade. However, Dedent Township hereby declares that it will challenge this as a pioneer. This move cannot be questioned and we will not accept future criticism.

Lelem conveyed firmly. Although he did not intend to force it, being accused of running away was unacceptable. This must be categorically denied. Moreover, this was uncharted territory in itself, and there were many stakes. People were always jealous of those who succeeded. If it was not stopped in time, it might cause unnecessary resentment. For this reason, Lelem advocated laying out the layout.

Even so, clear-minded people will feel delayed and criticize. Why not report it earlier?

"I, Lelem, have never been sure whether the transplant was successful. It is precisely because it was successful that I can report it here."

"The 'detailer' you mentioned just now, wasn't this attempt proposed by you?"

"Yes. This is based on information provided by a human adventurer who came to my hometown two and a half months ago. That adventurer's hometown has plants similar to Nevus and similar vegetation, so I got his advice."

Even if it feels unfair, it can be said that Lelem itself was not negligent.

“Will the Nefs sale be carried out with Phrygian merchants?”

“It seems that there is no alternative to this at this point. Instead, limiting the options may produce better results,” Lelem responded when asked to explain.

Assuming that Nefs's sale was successful, then, from the perspective of the Kingdom of Phrygia, the lessee might be considered to have made a fortune and was above his equal.

While reactions may vary, at worst they may see the North as the place where Naifs came from and try to encroach upon it.

Some people will advocate not sharing with the orcs and managing it on their own. In this case, if you show that you are considering trade with other places, it may increase vigilance against the orcs' actions.

Instead, there might be room for compromise if the wholesale targets were limited to the Kingdom of Phrygia and subsequent export matters were entrusted to them.

At least if they weighed the risks of living near the jungle against the benefits of Naifs, they would know which choice to make.

Regardless of sales, as long as you don't arbitrarily increase prices or other means to increase revenue, the balance will not change.

"Well, there's no point in calculating these. The trial sale will be handled by Dedent Township. Now there's a practical issue to discuss."

"What is it?"

After summarizing the possibilities, Torunc tried to refocus on the problem at hand.

“Is this kind of large-scale cultivation feasible and can we get a sustainable harvest? The only agricultural knowledge we have is about sweet potatoes. Is it enough to just give sweet potato urine?”

“I’ve been advised on this. I’ve been told that even urine can be used, but there are more effective methods.”

“Oh, can you tell me?”

“We collect dead leaves and wood, then water them with urine and ferment them into compost. We have set up a place for this now, which is the farthest from the township.”

The thorough preparations of Dedent Township were impressive. Although he was said to be an adventurer, he seemed more like an agricultural technology expert.

"Understood."

“Do you understand?”

"In short, it's best to confirm it with your own eyes."

"so be it."

Afterwards, Torunk declared the meeting closed and asked Leleme to lead those who were willing to go.
