I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 294

"Do you want to publish a book? Mr. Carlos'? By the way, who is it for?

"Eh... everyone in Fontana territory..."

"So, who are they all referring to, Ars? You want the knights from all over the place?

"No, not only the knights, but also the people will know about Carlos, and then I'll explain that it's legitimate for me to succeed him... Can't I, Dad?

"I don't think so. Remember you, Dad, you can only read simple letters right now? Those peasants can't even read books. If you're going to publish books for knights, I won't object, but it's obviously useless to distribute books throughout Fontana territory, Ars."

My father disagreed when I talked to Paine about Carlos' funeral, and then I talked to someone else.

Of course, there was no objection to Carlos' funeral itself.

However, the idea of distributing Carlos books to the public was rejected.

The reason was simple and clear: "Most ordinary people can't read letters."

It's only natural to think about it.

It's only natural that we're creating a school to teach people who can't read and write letters or calculate.

It was none other than me who gave up trying to sell the Bible and sold adult paintings.

But I completely forgot about it.

But then we might need to turn around a little bit.

I do not want to take over the Fontana family for personal gain, but only to respect the lord of the aristocracy named Carlos at the communal level.

Especially under the direct control of the Fontana family, they have even introduced conscription.

It's better to be popular with the public.

But if the book fails, is there any way I can prove that I respected Carlos instead?

It is also easy for the general public to understand without using words.

"Then why don't you name something Carlos?

"Name? Does Carlos's name mean anything to you?

"I think Dad does. Look, you used Kyle's name on the dam before. Thanks to that, Kyle's name, which was previously unknown in the Balkan Knight's Landing, became quite widespread. Without that, I don't think the soldiers would have followed him, no matter how much he was, no matter how little he was under the command of the army."

"... did Kyle Dam have that effect? But I wonder what Carlos's name should be. It doesn't seem to make much sense to name an existing one, which is why it would take time to name a building that uses Carlos' name now."

"Hmm, that's right. It's nice to name the building, but I don't think it's a bad idea to name anything else."

"What do you mean? Do you think your father has any ideas?

"No, I don't have a big idea. I told Ars a lot, but he's not smart."

"If you've come up with something, please tell me. Anything."

"Really? Well, it's not a big deal. You know, there's a maker named after something new, like Mr. Grant, or something he made? That's why I was wondering how you could give Carlos a name for something that would spread all over Fontana. That way, you'll remember Carlos every time you see it, and you'll always have a name."

"I see. Do you name everyday things? But it may also be a problem to use Carlos' name for bad things... I mean, what's going to spread across Fontana territory isn't going to be that easy."

"No, if you say so. There are definitely products that will spread to Fontana territory more and more from now on. Alcohol. Father thinks the distilled liquor that Ars developed last year will definitely spread."

I see. Have you had any alcohol? Sure, if you're drinking, maybe you can give me a name. "

My father told me to hit me on the knee.

Yes, it is.

Until now, there has been no technology called distillation around here.

I introduced it and created something that had never existed before: distilled liquor.

And name Carlos.

It might be good.

Carlos liked alcohol a lot.

After all, it might be nice to sell the liquor that Carlos loved with words.

When it comes to liquor, a favourite of the heroic aristocrats who have expanded Fontana territory in a short period of time, sales may rise.

"By the way, if you were my father, which of the distilled liquors I'd put in my warehouse deserve Carlos' name?

"Well, that's definitely it. The one that has been distilled many times, increased in frequency, and filtered through coal. What was that? I thought you made that. It's like I was talking about vodka."

My father answered me immediately when I asked.

That was the liquor I made.

Even so, the original plan is not mine.

It was only made from the knowledge of distilled liquor pulled from the memory of the previous life.

Speaking of vodka, it is a distilled liquor that was often consumed in cold regions such as Russia.

Repeat over and over again without finishing the distillation.

It is thus a liquor that produces a very high concentration of alcohol and filters it through birch charcoal and the like.

However, I didn't know exactly how to make it, so I only tried to make that knowledge as a hint.

But this was a pretty good reputation for some people.

In Vulcania, we used to grow craftsmen who made fine coal from grand furnaces.

The vodka-resistant liquor, filtered from the bulka charcoal, became less intoxicating and easier to drink despite its high degree of intensity.

It was finished as a distilled liquor that can be enjoyed by people who are too high to drink by diluting it into water and fruit juice.

Vodka may also suit this area during the cold winter months.

The more you drink, the hotter your body gets, the more you drink, so you don't freeze like water.

I have heard the story that water of life is better in my previous life.

Carlos, an ice nobleman who succeeded in ruling the northern realm, created a lifeless water.

Wouldn't it suffice as an episode to be used in spreading distilled liquor?

In addition, alcohol is easy to understand even for ordinary people who cannot read letters.

I think it's a surprisingly good idea.

In this way, I decided to concentrate a lot of the distilled liquor production that was going on in the prototype stage on the vodka liquor called "Carlos", and while yo-yo Carlos through the sale of Carlos books for the upper classes such as knights and new liquor for the general public, I also decided to appeal for my legitimacy.
