Reading the documents, Nelson couldn’t help to spit out his complaining words. Then after hearing Zirconia words, he let out a long sigh.
「Though I treasure that opinion, if we do such things, then even before the war with Balveil recommences, our territory will be already turned into a starving hell, since there is a devastating food shortage. Given that in the next year thousands of people from another fief will come, if it’s become impossible for them to support themselves, won’t they lose everything? Besides, there is a possibility that before armistice treaty expires, a peace agreement might be signed.」(Nelson)
「...... Can we increase the food import from Craylutz[3]?」(Zirconia)
「I already check the preliminary calculation. Even assuming we increase the amount of lumber production and copper or tin mining for export and exchanged them to import a large amount of food, in the long term we can expect the shortage of material goods albeit temporarily. Besides, even if we buy that food as a temporary measure, if on the next time there is a drought occurred just like this time, we won’t be able to survive. If we cut the forest indiscriminately, it might be not recover enough even if the rain seasons came. I understand Zil’s words, but if by any chance the war restart and by that time we don’t have food, there will be no point. Please consent with me in this」(Nelson)
Hearing Nelson words, Zirconia closed her eyes and thought over it for while. She let out a small sigh and opened her eyes.
「As for the cause of putting off domestic affairs of territory and instead prioritizing preparation for war.... it is my responsibility.」(Zirconia)
After entering an armistice treaty with Balveil, Isteria territory pressed forward a policy that put military preparation at the fore, like constructing defensive positions or increasing army strength sufficiency rather than its domestic affairs.
Nelson himself wanted to put food production or reconstruction support as the first priority of his territory, however, it was his wife Zirconia who firmly advocated that they ought to increase their war preparations.
Of course, the other leaders in Isteria territory including Nelson...... excluding military personnel, everyone was completely against it, however, Zirconia stubbornly advocated it herself and didn’t concede on it.
After all, Zirconia persistently explained that considering Balveil’s war potential and its ability to continue the war, if by the time the armistice treaty expired and the territory army scale hadn’t changed it would be disastrous. Because of this, the majority of people who opposed her at first, reluctantly consented because Nelson gave his agreement.
Thanks to this the military budget increased drastically at first, however Zirconia herself thought that this amount was still not enough.
「No, Zil’s claim is justified. Besides, up until now famine has occurred several times, but this harsh famine is the first. I think that this famine maybe as bad as the famine some century ago. This is outside what you can predict.」(Nelson)
Every year, in Arcadian nations, small scale famines or floods happened frequently, however presently he large scale famine was something happening for the first time in hundreds of years.
If they had put the first priority on domestic affair, the current situation might be more or less preferable, but either way every place might still have suffered large damage.
「That’s true.... But I regret that I couldn’t come out with some countermeasure beforehand. Furthermore, if the famine is this terrible, then just like the legend, Greysior-sama might appear and rescue us.」[4](Zirconia)
As Zirconia said this somewhat jokingly, Nelson leaned his back on the back of the chair he sat on and made a bitter smile.
「Oioi[5], if it’s that story, then the feudal lord would be killed by the peasants, right? Spare me from that....」(Nelson)
Zirconia slipped out a chuckle at Nelson who made a bitter smile as she took out a sheet with information about Balveil from the piled up documents on the desk’s corner.
「You will be fine. You are different from the one in the legend, since Isteria house never did something that could incurs peasants’ enmity. Leaving that aside, can you take a look at this?」(Zirconia)
Nelson received the document presented to him and quickly looked over it roughly, and with a small furrow in his brow he groaned.
「They negotiated a peace with some of the barbarians?...... This is not good. This is really not good.」(Nelson)
