One Piece: Kingdom Building System

Chapter 23: World-Shaking News! 5th Ocean Emperor

New World, Fortis Kingdom, Rice Field Territory.

Ars and Kaguya are currently in the paddy field to check the land. Each paddy field built has an area of 1 hectare and the total paddy land owned by the Fortis Kingdom currently amounts to 24,950 paddy fields. With a very large number like this, both of them need quite a long time to be able to explore.

However, since both of them currently have no work to do. The two of them had no problem going for a walk to see the rice area, especially for Kaguya who was very happy to be accompanied by Ars during his current vacation.

"Finally meeting you here too, Isshiki"

Isshiki who was doing an inspection of one of the fields immediately turned around hearing a familiar voice.

"Ars, Kaguya" Isshiki was quite surprised to find the two of them there.

"What are you doing Isshiki?" Kaguya asked with great interest.

"I'm checking the distribution of rice seeds. Previously I saw that there were some areas where there were no seeds that we had previously sown." Isshiki immediately walked towards the two of them and asked with a smile, "Are you two on a date?"

"Date?" Kaguya's face immediately turned red at those words.

"It just so happens that Kaguya has just finished her assignment in the matter of calculating the funds that came in yesterday and currently she has time to rest. Since I haven't come here yet, I invited him to have a look and also do an inspection."

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "What is the condition of the land that Hashirama built? Is the land good?"

"The land that Hashirama built is very good. There are no problems with the land development and the distribution of the seeds." Isshiki calmly replied.

Ars nodded and continued, "In your opinion, how much rice can be produced in one harvest for each field?"

"How many?" Isshiki touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Usually if we estimate the rice harvest in my previous world by calculating the size of the land the same. There are about 5-7 tons of rice that can be produced for 1000 meters of rice land. However..." Isshiki's gaze stared at the nearby rice fields, "I don't believe in this world. Due to differences in seeds and other factors. There is a possibility that our yields will be less than 5 tons for each field and it could be higher than 5 tons"

"What do you think about the harvest we produce? You should be able to guess for now, right?" Ars asked again.

Isshiki nodded, "My opinion. It is possible that our panels for each field range from 10 tons of rice to 15 tons of rice."

"10 to 15 tons, huh? If we take each paddy field we can produce 10 tons of rice in one harvest. At least in one harvest we can produce around 249,500 tons of rice"

"249,500 tons is quite a lot" Kaguya said calmly, "Every year usually there will be 3-4 harvests. We just hope that every year we can harvest 3 times. That means every year we can produce around 748,500 tons of rice. At the first harvest, we can already start selling the rice we have to each island or maybe sell it to the kingdoms that are allied with us"

"I also agree with this" Isshiki nodded, "The proceeds from the sale can also be used as additional funds for the kingdom especially with the increasing number of workers that will be employed by the kingdom. There will be more and more money to be spent."

"What do you two think the price of rice should we offer them?" asked Ars calmly.

"We can use different prices for sales to different people" Kaguya said, "Take for example the kingdoms we have a cooperative relationship with. We can sell it at a lower price than the current market price. As for the kingdoms that do not have a cooperative relationship with us. We can sell it at a price close to the market price. We have to control that the price we have is cheaper than the market price which helps our goods to be very easy to sell."
