?Riz gulp a ss of water. Having to speak for a long duration of time makes his throat dry. This is the first time he ever says too much on a single asion. It''s not a very pleasant experience for him.


    Anyway, he''s done with the map thing. Let''s move on to the following field, agronomy.


    There''s not much for him to say in this one either. As the name suggests, agronomy is a branch of agriculture revolving around field crop production and soil management.


    It''s the main export industry of his kingdom, a pir if he would say. Of course, he''s gonna take it seriously. Without agricultural products, the kingdom''s ie will be reduced by half. Many of his nned projects have to be put on hold due to ack of funds.


    Before having this dinner, he had spent some of his time skimming through the research books made by agronomists in this era.


    To his relief, their research is unsurprisingly quite advanced. Perhaps more advanced than the Earth counterpart. For the first time, he was impressed by native residents of this world. Some of the books written by these schrs are;


    Comption of Crops in Middle Jozia,


    Practical Guidance of Staple Corps Farming,


    Treatment of Rare Leaf and Root Vegetables,


    Corrtion Between Farming Technique and Yield,


    Crops Disease and Treatment.


    Well, this region is called a breadbasket of Jozia for a reason. Nothing weird with people here took interest in agriculture.


    But, that bug him a question. If they were so advanced, why haven''t they been put into practice? After digging deeper, it turns out the me lies on the nobles. Because crops are their main source of ie, they are quite sceptical about this so-called new technique.


    They rather maintained the foolproof and established method rather than taking risks in having their ie reduced. A typical stiff-brained mentality. He doesn''t know what''s happening inside the head of these prideful and ignorant people. It wouldn''t hurt so much if they were willing to forfeit a portion of the vastnd for experimentation purposes.


    Imagine just how many food-rted problems in the past could be solved if they simply take a moment to listen.


    With this level of knowledge, Riz doesn''t have to impart his pitiful idea to them. They can get into action right away, "I''m very impressed with the level of research agronomists have achieved. You have done a lot of researchpared to other disciplines. First, I request you make a four-year sybus structure to be taught at the university. Second, some of you will work with the ministry of agriculture while some will work as an educator at the university. Feel free to choose."


    Hearing the king praise them, agronomists found their faces brightening up. All the fear vanished as if it never existed in the first ce. Others, look at them with jealousy.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Keep your voice down, we''re not finished yet." Riz reminds the agronomists because they are getting out of hand.


    The cheers soon die out.


    He has exined every discipline in this world. Time to shift focus to something beyond up in the sky, astronomy. Out of all books Naharog sent, a study rted to celestial bodies like the moon, stars,s and relevant phenomena is very little. It is almost like this field of study is left untouched.


    Were they not curious about the sky? He thought that humans love this kind of thing. On earth, when ites to astronomical events, there are so many legends and myths passed down from generation to generation until the modern time.


    Some are logical and proven by scientists.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Some have remained mysteries, yet to be exined.


    Some are outright pure fiction.


    Being genuinely inquisitive as he is, Riz wanted to know about this. How big is it? Where is it located? How many others are out there? Is it possible to find Earth?


    Or maybe this is Earth but the future. A question worth pondering.


    "How many astronomers and mathematicians are here?" Riz asked. Both disciplines of knowledgeplement each other.


    He was not too worried about mathematics. Although there is more to be discovered, mathematical knowledge is only second to civil engineering in this kingdom, then, followed by history.


    All thanks to one person, him.


    He bet his people will be the main force in many breakthroughs instead of the mathematicians in front of him. As such, he better let these people contribute to the untapped field of astronomy.


    Several people hand raised their hands. There are only three people who identified themselves as astronomers, the rest are mathematicians.


    Fair enough, studying space is too distant for people to entirely devote themselves. Besides, there are a decent amount of problems on the ground yet to be solved. It is more feasible to solve them.


    "Listen closely, I want both groups; astronomers and mathematicians to cooperate with each other and study this world we are stepping on right now and then, the universe. There are a lot of unexined phenomena that would end up bing myths or some sort of superstition among the people. I''m not saying belief in the supernatural is totally bullshit. I''m saying that we, humans should seek an exnation and understanding for every possible thing that urred around the world rather than merely epting it. Did you get me?"


    Riz was unsure if he put his word in the correct way. He is not a good speaker to deliver his message eloquently.


    "Yes, your majesty. We get the meaning of your words."


    "Great!! I think that''s all. It''s alreadyte at night, you guys should return to your room and get a good sleep." said Riz. As he was about to stand up, he was addressed with onest question.


    "Excuse me, your majesty. May I know where our workspace would be?"


    "You guys will be ced in the public library near the education district, for the time being. I n to make that area abination of education and research centres. This area would be the forefront in discoveries on this continent. It may sound ambitious, so what? I want it and I''ll get it."


    The schrs on the other side don''t know how to react to that statement. Ultimately, they keep their mouth shut. It''s the best for their mind, body and soul.


    "One more thing before I forget, feel free to read all sorts of books in the library. For those that I request to make a sybus, be sure to make it. Once the construction of the university is done, some of you''ll be teaching there. Moreover, there is a huge vacantnd that you can use to conduct your own experiments. Just be careful not to cause damage to the books or..."


    Riz squinted his eyes as he sent a warning to them. More often than not, intellectual people can be entric and childish.


    The schrs shook their heads, saying they won''t do anything stupid. "We will be careful, Your Majesty."
