The Christmas season, the biggest holiday in Christian culture, had ended. People returned to their daily lives as they cleared away Christmas decorations scattered everywhere.
Not that daily life meant much. It was the agricultural off-season from January until spring arrived in earnest in March.
Even in Europe, where capitalism was actively developing, the basic economy still revolved around agriculture, so our community had become equally relaxed.
I went to find Oitotan, who served as the head of the Agricultural Knights, professional diplomat, and salesman. Together with the knights he assigned to me, I traveled around in a Porter.
"Since January is starting and the weather will gradually improve, we've decided everyone should focus on land development during this period. Things will probably get busy in earnest around March or April."
"Hmm... how much land has been distributed to each resident so far?"
