Conquering Another World with Farming and My Best Friend [Western Fantasy]

[Original title: Find Your Own Way to Close the Gap in Farming] The female lead's double standards:

With nobles: Find your own way to close the gap in farming. On the bottom right of the deed, there's a signature for the sale.

With her best friend: "You want to be crowned? You... really mean it? Well, okay then~_~" (pulls out a crown)

Blurb:

Overworked office worker Yin Xi and her best friend are enjoying a hard-won vacation when they unexpectedly transmigrate into a Western fantasy world as nobles. Their father's mistress is about to seize power with her illegitimate children.

Yin Xi, who usually watches palace-intrigue and household-drama shows over meals: "Is my story going to be about crushing the illegitimate kids and rising to become a duke?"

Instead, she gets eliminated from the household power struggle right at the start and is sent into exile to become the little lord of a poor border village.

With her teary-eyed mother and a few meager supplies, she has to set out for her territory.

And her best friend, who she can't find anywhere, has actually become her older sister, and is on the way to being called off her engagement?

With danger lurking above and certain death below,

how are they supposed to survive?

Isiyaya rolls up her sleeves and hefts a hoe. "I'll farm, obviously. What else? If you'd told me from the start this was the story of Rubin Xi's exile, you'd know I don't only watch one kind of plot while I eat."

[Ding! The Heart of Ten Thousand Bunches: Farming System activated!]

It specializes in reviving dead soil, reversing seed degeneration, improving low magic power, and feeding hungry commoners.

Isiya, who farms her way into becoming the richest person in Vilan and a major merchant across the five great nations: "Look at this mess. If you'd just left me at home to deal with the household intrigue, none of this would've happened, Duke."

Isiya thinks of the saying: While the neighbors hoard grain, I'll hoard guns. The neighbors are my granary.

When war breaks out across the world, the neighbors, itching to make a move, watch Isiya's grain production outstrip the entire country's and grow red-eyed with envy. But her best friend is right there beside her: "Oh? Someone wants to challenge me to a fight?"

The neighbors: "Not at all, Lady Isiya. You've got it all wrong. We've only come to learn from your advanced methods. Learn... learn."

It all starts with a border territory considered ripe for exploitation.

Isiya finishes planting wheat, then plants vegetables. She makes sugar and presses oil. The farmland springs back to life under her care, and the workshops she builds awaken to a new future.

The territory she thought would become a paradise beyond the world is ultimately overwhelmed by a massive army.

Her best friend, suddenly fired up: "I'm going to unite this dull, exploitative, polluted world."

The female lead: "All right. Take a look at these new seeds, which yield twice as much per acre as the old ones. The ten new military workshops are ready to begin production. Here's a list of forces in each country we can ally with. Recruitment has begun, and the Holy Light mages' medical support team is assembled. I'll stand right behind you."

Her best friend: "Didn't you say you only wanted to live a quiet life as a farmer, eating and drinking every day and checking out handsome men from every country?"

The female lead: "We farmers are the most peace-loving people in the whole world, okay?!"

So anyone who won't let us eat and sleep in peace is an enemy of the farming people!

The role of the men from the various countries in this story: I don't know. My figure and looks are bewitching.

Content notes: The main plot is Western fantasy farming, management, and infrastructure development in a low-magic world. The female lead changes the balance of power through farming and infrastructure alone; her best friend takes the lead in the struggle for supremacy. There will be some romantic otome-game elements, and the male lead will be revealed at the end. The female lead and her best friend are each other's closest family and work partners.

Theme: Anti-war, anti-war, anti-war, says the farmer.
