The Queen who heard my request immediately asked what it was.
"Mr. Rio, what is it? We will do our best to fulfill your request."
With the queen's assurance, I could finally feel relieved.
"I need some energy to follow us to the whisperwood forest. These personnel are specifically those who work in the field of education. I want to create a special school for the children in our region."
Hearing that, everyone there was surprised even my people. I, who was confused to see them, immediately asked.
"What's wrong, is it strange?"
I immediately asked like that.
The Queen then answered.
"Actually, only the nobles can receive compulsory education. It's impossible for commoners to receive compulsory education. They will only get tactical education that is useful for their work."
After hearing that, I became convinced that this was a world with a feudal system. Education is not the main thing here.
"Ah, I see. But, that doesn't matter. I really want a teacher. Whoever is willing, I can pay them well"
I told the queen that. I think education will not only open new doors for people but also opportunities to become better.
Think of it this way, modern farming and farming before machines, which is more effective and promising?
The answer is of course modern agriculture. Modern farming is successful because of the contribution of many things such as researchers, developers and farmers themselves who are getting smarter. It's just that the effect of smart and educated people is the collapse of feudalism.
However, it will also not happen as long as the king leads well and is loved by his people, for example Brunei Darussalam, Thailand, Arabia and Yogyakarta. These are real examples in the modern world.
"The problem is whether they will be willing to go to the whisperwood forest. Everyone knows how dangerous the whisperwood forest is."
Right, this was the second biggest problem. I need to figure out the best way regarding this. Everyone must be scared of the whisperwood forest.
"But, I will still try to get it for you, Mr. Rio."
Even so, the queen still promised me that. This could give me the confidence to cooperate with the kingdom of Nemorosa.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Queen"
I said that while saluting the whisperwood forest style. The queen was confused but from my style she knew that this was a respectful posture.
"You're welcome, I promised to help as much as I can before, didn't I?"
The Queen told me that.
"Then Mr. Rio, as for the commodity price issue, what do you think?"
Duke Irvine then entered the conversation about trade. I looked at Vincent and Baren and then asked them to negotiate. They were more knowledgeable about the prices and I would just agree to their judgment.
"I will leave the matter of price negotiation to Vincent and Baren. I trust them. Is that okay, Mr. Duke, you Majesty Queen?"
I asked the two of them.
"Of course it's fine."
The Duke replied so.
The queen and I listened to their discussion. While discussing, I asked the queen and Mrs. Duke a small question.
"Your highness, Madame Duke, I would like to ask you about the cosmetics you are using. From what I observed, it seems like it's not good because your skin shows a lot of red spots."
That's right, from their faces, it looks like they are using cosmetics from unsafe ingredients. Their faces have become too white. In this day and age I'm sure their cosmetics must be mixed with mercury. I'm very concerned about women's cosmetics because I took care of Amelia myself before. I must know a lot about women's health for my little sister's sake.
"We are using cosmetics that have just been produced by the doran factory in the Luminara Empire. We ourselves have not been able to produce it," Queen Nemorosa said.
"That's right, especially now, the circulation of cosmetics has become difficult because the Luminara Empire restricted it and tripled the price." Madame Duke added
Hmm that means they want to monopolize technology huh? This is indeed one way to accumulate coffers of money. Moreover, from what they both talked about, there is only one cosmetic in this world. Seeing that opportunity, I then spoke up.
"Your Highness, Madame Duke, I happen to also produce cosmetics in our region. I also dare to guarantee that the cosmetics we produce are much safer than those of the doran company.
It's not that I want to demonize doran products but if you continue to use doran products, it's the same as you poisoning yourself."
What I'm saying is the fact that too much mercury in the body will really damage the body.
"Really?!"
"Really?!"
The two women became very excited. Actually, this is a new technology in our region where we combined dwarven skills, my blueprints and elven medical knowledge.
The result is an excellent cosmetic. It has become popular among both Dwarven and elven women. Dwarven women here are childlike in appearance and their faces are not as old as those of male Dwarves.
"Of course, I happened to bring a sample."
I took out the cosmetics and let the two of them try it on with my instructions.
The result,
"Ooohhh, is this my face? My skin looks naturally brighter"
"That's right, Madame Duke, I feel like my face is lighter and my skin is smoother. It's much different from the cosmetics from the doran company."
Of course, can modern knowledge be defeated by current knowledge?
"How about it, are you two interested in my cosmetics?"
I asked that to the two of them. Because of the noise we made, the negotiations between Duke and the division head came to a halt and they looked at us.
Duke then spoke.
"Mr. Rio, do you also have processed products in your territory?"
You're caught !!!! I had planned this so that you guys would ask about processed products. If I just explain without proving, you guys will definitely not be interested.
This is where I will start promoting the whisperwood village's processed goods.
