The curved plow is a very common thing... at least it's very common in Iraq. It's a cool gadget for transmigrators, but even after being in this world for so long, he has no idea of ​​developing it.

During the imperial era, the empire did not need this. This world did not even have a plow. Not to mention the difference between curved and straight plows, this world did not even have a plow.

The serfs used a hoe... that is, a spade.

How should I put it? The reason is probably obvious: in the empire, most of the farming was done by serfs... Fertilizer can increase yields, so what can a curved plow increase?

The answer is no.

The curved plow is meant to save labor; it not only doesn't add anything, but it actually reduces something—the wear and tear on serfs? Well, it doesn't reduce anything, it actually increases it—it increases the cost of purchasing farm tools.

Farm tools are far more valuable than the lives of serfs.

After arriving in the Demon King's territory, Ira did not prioritize promoting the curved plow because... it's hard to explain, but you'll understand once you see the goblins plowing the land.

Like madmen, countless goblins each took charge of a field ridge, their arms flashing like phantoms as they hoeed the ground and advanced at breakneck speed... Anyone who didn't know better would think they were unleashing martial arts techniques.

For example, Phantom Sword Dance or something like that.

The fields will be plowed quickly, then the goblins will be exhausted, and then the next batch of goblins will take over to plant the seeds... and so on, since the goblin's body structure is not suitable for long periods of labor.

Goblins, back when they were still called "gnomes," actually had far more noble pursuits than they do now, such as piloting robots to fight each other.

Golems are the goblins' romance.

Steel and machinery are actually far more romantic than female knights and elves, but the goblins of today are no longer capable of that… something called [Mana Technology] was just beginning to take shape when it was thwarted by endless wars.

Of course, all of this was learned by Ira from a book called "Distant Races (2): Goblins and Goblins". The actual authenticity is still to be verified, after all, the author probably exaggerated a bit.

For example, the description of "goblins falling in love with a machine and trying to mate with it" is full of flaws and déjà vu, but Ira still feels that... the creatures in this world haven't reached that level of XP yet.

"Goblin Goblin?"

As Ira was lost in thought, a goblin saw Ira arrive for an inspection and shouted something in an unintelligible dialect. Then all the goblins looked in Ira's direction.

"Huh?"

Iraq

"gentlemen"

"occur"

"What"

"What happened?"

The three little fairies also noticed Ira's arrival. They asked a series of questions in quick succession, but Ira's visit this time wasn't really for any particular reason. She was simply considering whether to begin production of the curved plow.

Saving effort is certainly a good thing, but there aren't many carpenters in the Demon King's territory right now... well, actually everyone knows a little bit about carpentry and blacksmithing, but there aren't many who are particularly professional in innovation.

It can only be said that each has its own strengths due to their respective roles. For example, it is unlikely that the sirens, who are very good at shipbuilding, can try to build a curved plow, after all, there is a time cost, and the Demon King's territory is still relatively short of time.

Moreover, this world also has the custom of using livestock to plow fields, since animals are too inefficient at plowing.

Even if we don't talk about monsters, serfs are more ferocious than animals.

Ira, unsure whether to create the "Plow," shared her thoughts with the goblins, causing them, whose intelligence wasn't particularly high, to become conflicted—something that wasn't necessary.

However, in this respect, the differences between worlds make it impossible for Ira to apply his experience... For example, he should never have overlooked Isabella's part as a "girl," and a normal girl would naturally be angry with Ira.

However, as Ira recounted her story, a goblin seemed somewhat interested. While Ira and the goblins were pondering, he spoke up, saying, "I think it's very good, Plow."

"..."

Do goblins think the curved plow is good?

Ira's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at the goblin who seemed to shrink back because of his gaze and pondered his words carefully... Logically speaking, the curved plow shouldn't be worth it.

After all, the intelligent beings in this world are of very high quality, to the point that cattle exist only as livestock for meat and leather production. Cattle helping to plow the fields should only increase the duration of labor.

"But the curved plow needs oxen to pull it, wouldn't that be very slow?"

Ira asked softly, and the goblin became visibly hesitant and afraid to answer. Helpless, he could only explain, "I'm not blaming you for interrupting; on the contrary... I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Thank you, Lord Ira," the goblin said respectfully, his eyes, surrounded by wrinkled goblin skin, gleaming with earnestness. "We'll pull it."

Goblins to pull? That's certainly feasible. After all, if monsters were pulling in front, it would be faster and less dangerous than using cows, because monsters would cooperate with each other and wouldn't throw a tantrum.

But...but...but...

Ira was conflicted as he looked up and met the eyes of the goblins... But they were monsters, not livestock. Was this really okay?
