In the evening, me and my companions were summoned to the great hall of the mansion by the Knight Commander Marina of the 'Seiryu Order', and we gathered in the great hall of the mansion.
Duke Byakline and his family, as well as His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Queen, were also there.
His Majesty the King seems to have returned to the royal capital once and immediately turned back.
I think he's made two trips back and forth today alone: .......
I was asked by Knight Commander Marina to explain the various businesses of the 'Fairy Chamber of Commerce' to him.
''Since it's you, it doesn't matter what your business intentions are, you're going to do it in its own way to keep a low profile or not be a hassle, right? But you know, in the Duke of Saban's territory, the population is so large that you can do amazing business depending on how you do it!
From the beginning, the Knight Commander of the Marina has been looking at me like I'm a bad kid: .......
And it's a pretty predictable state of affairs: .......
It's called Duke Euphemia and the Knight Commander of Malina, and he's very perceptive .......
'It's hard to make it too big, so I'm hoping that the people who know about it will be happy with it .......
I laughed and replied with a bitter smile ...... sullenly.
'Well, I figured it would be something like that. I'll take a look ...... at it, and I'll tell you about a business that will please you, because it's called the age of old. It's a profitable business for the most part, and you have to make a good profit. If you do business that makes people happy, you will inevitably make money. Yuffie has already told me the general idea, but you can explain it to me again. I'm sure there is a lot of demand for the business in the populous 'territorial city of Saban' or even in the royal capital of the country, which would be incomparable.
Knight Commander Marina said with a smug look on her face.
He's giving off an aura of motivation, but .......
Why is he so motivated ......?
And it looks like fun, too.
Maybe the Knight Commander of Marina likes to do business too: .......
I explained the various businesses of the 'Fairy Chamber of Commerce' in a nutshell.
''Well ...... first of all, the one that seems to be quite in demand in the 'territorial capital Sayburn' and the royal capital is the 'servant training school'. The current method is to train them as an apprentice while they learn, and teach them for free instead of having them work. You can earn money in the capital city of Saban or the royal capital. However, few people will pay high tuition fees for their servants, so we need to restrain them to a certain extent or else it will be bad. That's why this business is more of a need than a profitable one. ......
Knight Commander Marina said and grinned.
I was a little surprised because the first point was the subtle reluctance of 'servant training school', but ...... on the contrary, it wasn't much of an idea of mine, so it was already a gratifying point at this point.
The Knight Commander of the Marina Knights told me a more in-depth story.
According to that, ......
Currently, when hiring a new servant, each family hires an apprentice and a senior employee teaches him or her as an apprentice, which seems to be the common practice.
However, I've heard it's inefficient.
This method is also good if the house is large and there is plenty of room for manpower, but it seems to be a heavy burden to teach newcomers in a place where they are making do with a small number of people.
In light of such a situation, the 'servant training school' that didn't exist until now is likely to be appreciated.
If there was an institution that would educate and train servants in earnest, the Knight Commander Marina predicted that there would be quite a few applications.
When hiring a new servant, if there was an institution that would let them learn the basics in a short period of time, he would be willing to pay to send them out.
Therefore, he suggested that instead of the current free course where they accept applicants and have them slowly learn the basics while working, they should charge a tuition fee for a short, intensive course of ten or twenty days to learn the basics.
And if it was a reasonable tuition fee, they would send everyone out.
He even suggested the creation of a "Ten-Day Intensive Basic Course" to learn only the basics of etiquette and servant manners, and a "Twenty-Day Intensive Practical Course" to learn more practical work skills and knowledge based on those skills.
He said that those who could afford it would train their staff to become full-fledged servants in a total of thirty days for these two courses.
The employers could wait for that much time to train their employees.
It's about 5,000 yen per day at ...... but if the ...... ten-day course is 50,000 gol and the 20-day course is 100,000 gol, he said he would pay the tuition fees.
I had to nod my head in response to a fairly specific and excellent suggestion.
I mean, ...... I think I'm completely in the state of being a member of the Marina Knight Commander ...... 'Faerie Chamber of Commerce'.
Maybe Knight Commander Marina also wants to get involved in the 'Fairy Chamber of Commerce' .......
Because of his current position, he can't get involved outwardly, so I wonder if he wants to participate in this way .......
I had a glimpse of that in my mind.
Well, I'm grateful for this, so I'm going to continue to rely on it.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
It's not going to be just hundreds of people taking the course, though, so it's just a profitable, profitable, profitable business, not a hugely profitable business.
Still, if it's needed and appreciated, it's worth doing.
According to Knight Commander Marina, there are many nobles in the 'Territorial Capital Seiburn' and 'Royal Capital', as well as many of their parallels.
Also, since there are many wealthy merchants and other upper-class people, it seems that there are quite a few residences that use servants.
It seems that butlers, maids, and maids are relatively popular jobs, but since not everyone can become a butler or maid of honor, it seems to be surprisingly difficult for employers to find people for them.
(If it was a royal capital or the territorial capital of a large fiefdom, I think there would be quite a lot of demand for the business of dispatching temporary servants. They need temporary manpower for dinners and events where a lot of guests are gathered. I think you'd be delighted to have a staffing department!)
The eldest daughter of Duke Byakline's family, Hanasiluri, who was listening to the story meekly and looks like a four-year-old boy inside, said so with a telepathic message.
It may indeed be so.
Temporary manpower is necessary when inviting many guests or for events such as a ball, right?
Right now, it seems that servants are lent and borrowed between the nobles, but it would be nice if there was a place where they could easily ask for help.
There seems to be quite a demand for servant personnel dispatch.
However, it's necessary to consider what the servants who will be held by 'Fairy Trading Association' will be asked to do when there is no request for dispatch, though.
However, if the current 'hospitality special team' is augmented and they use transference magic tools to move around, they might be able to fill the job with dispatch work alone.
You can move from one place to another without having to worry about where you are today's 'Territorial Capital Saban' and tomorrow's 'Royal Capital'.
I guess I'll think about this business in a positive light too: .......
And the Marina Knight Commander's idea wasn't finished yet.
''I think there is also a demand for teaching self-defense techniques to those who are already working as servants. If the butlers, maids, and maids who are usually around can learn self-defense to some extent and can protect their masters and their families, it would be quite gratifying for the employer. I think this could be done on a short term basis or on a regular basis as well.
Knight Commander Marina said as she put her hand to her chin.
I see ...... this time it's not about educating newcomers, but rather educating the already full-fledged servants to acquire additional skills. ......
There certainly seems to be a demand for ...... self-defense techniques.
It's what's known as a guardian maid.
If the maids that accompany your precious children can use self-defense, you'll feel more secure.
This might even send the existing servants off to school.
And in the case of a large mansion with a large number of servants, we might be able to send instructors from here.
But that's the problem, since there are few people who can teach self-defense techniques.
The number of people who can teach 'Self-Defense Jiu-Jitsu Gymnastics' is increasing in the 'Fairy Trading Company', but the only ones who are skilled enough to teach 'Self-Defense Jiu-Jitsu' itself are still Agnes the Bard and Tamar-san.
Although it was a nice suggestion from Knight Commander Marina, ...... it may be a tough sell in terms of personnel.
This concept is going to be difficult to implement without adding staff members who can teach not only "self-defense jujutsu gymnastics" but also "self-defense jujutsu" itself.
In any case, there's a lot more work to be done.
However, thanks to Knight Commander Marina, I feel like a new business perspective has been established.
If there really is a big demand for ...... so-called school business, I think it's interesting.
I'm not just talking about the 'servant training school' but also the school business perspective, it might be interesting to think about a variety of things.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
