A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"That's where the Bureau of Economic Affairs is.

We plan to build an artificial lake for the maintenance bureau.

Even if it is planned, it is decided to make it, so it may be under construction.

Well, it's not just done by the Maintenance Bureau, but it feels like the Maintenance Bureau is at the center.

Takeo tells Kitty.

"J... artificial lake.

Kitty mutters.

The ingredients of the chalk were actually mysterious objects that were not known to be used within the Royal College, but the next owner of the manufacturing site told me the answer and told me to keep it a secret. Kitty's head was completely white.

Kitty was full because she murmured like a parrot because she heard a word she couldn't hear any more.

"There is a policy called the wholesale market as a prominent policy after the change in the Third Prince's family... Well, if you're interested, you might want to check it out.

Accompanying this wholesale market is a proposed development plan for the river-based water transportation industry.

The point is that it would be better to take the river from His Highness William's Landing to Earl Elvis' Landing.

This could cause a lot of things to interact with each other.

"... hahhh.

Kitty nods slowly.

"Count Elvis' territory is the most upstream of the river, but we all discussed that the width of the river was not unexpectedly a good condition, and we needed a loading yard, so we decided to build a lake so that we could moor a few transport vessels anyway.

"Well... I see.

Kitty nodded relentlessly.

Kitty, I don't understand how to leapfrog "anyway" right now, but I decided to think that the story would have flourished.

"Incidentally, the transport ship is thought to be the Kitamizato family and a local workshop.

The Maintenance Bureau is responsible for managing the loading at the artificial lake.

It also includes road development for King's Landing, road development for His Royal Highness William's Landing, and river water management projects.

"Street roads and water treatment maintenance?

Though it may be necessary to procure large quantities of supplies and plan maintenance processes.

Kitty used her head to think about it.

"Yeah, and we need to get workers and work far from the village, and we need to plan for a simple lodging.

Nh...

Kitty thinks.

"The Treasury Board is the department that administers taxes and distributes budgets.

The Bureau of Economics and the Bureau of Maintenance alone will make this new, but other departments also need money.

Unfortunately, the Elvis family doesn't have any tax revenues to spend on any of this.

So we have to prioritize.

We need to explain it to the bureaux and the Count and get their approval.

And the Elvis family is starting to lend money for things that have the potential for the future.

"Loans...?

"Yes, it's a help if you don't have the funds and you can't make a product.

We are not going to do anything to the dark clouds, but we will make a loan in view of the future, the need, and the profitability.

I'll call it in, but the civilians may come looking for it.

We also go to workshops and shops upon request to assist in preparing review documents and repayment plans.

It's a department that does everything about money.

"Dear Kitamizato, what do you do when you want to lend money to a business that, for example, is necessary for residents but not profitable?

"It depends on what it is, but if it's not profitable, it won't be a business, so you can't lend it like that.

"... I see.

Makes Kitty look lonely.

"It's not that cost-effective, but it would be better for the Elvis family to organize the necessary matters into departments.

"Huh? Do you?

Kitty instantly startled me.

"What's with the strange face?

Even though it's not profitable, if it's private, it'll be crushed in no time.

If it is not profitable, we will have to commercialize it with taxes.

Of course, there is a much stricter screening than a loan, but if that is really necessary for the people, we should make it a department and do business.

"That's what Kitamizato thinks, right?

Kitty continues to ask about her surprised face.

"You don't have to be noble if you don't, do you?

Well, the reality is that not all of them are for the sake of the people.

It is also true that it cannot be implemented from the point of view of income and expenditure without some benefit to the aristocracy.

If the aristocracy cannot explain how it will benefit the people when it starts its business, it will not be commercialized.

Kitty Emmett, you can't just pursue your ideals.

Others don't move just by their ideals.

Think carefully about who needs to move in order to reach that ideal and suggest what kind of benefits you need to offer to move that person.

Do you understand?

"Ha... yes!

Let me think carefully!

Kitty answers clearly.

"So, Smith boy.

It seems that Kitty Emmett has something to accomplish.

"I don't think we can make a proposal like that from a newcomer who just became a civilian, so it's probably a few years from now... but it's about time I became a lord.

"It's a suggestion from an excellent subordinate, you have to make a proper judgment.

"I'll have Takeo-san present at that time.

"I think the lab is busy, right?

"Hahaha, I haven't terminated Takeo-sama's counselor for Elvis.

I will tell my grandfather not to dismiss me later, so I will ask him to be a counselor at that time.

Thank you very much.

Smith says.

"Gunu... me and Alice are looking for a place to hide.

"You're not gonna let me do that, are you?

I'll let you work for me.

Smith ran out of words.
