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

At the dean's office within the Royal College.

After the interview, Takeo was talking to Clark.

"... did you manage to go?

Clark in front of Takeo murmured tirelessly.

"Why is Chairman Clark so tired?

"Speaking of which, I'm the chief.

I don't care about the students' fate.

And... this is next year's staffing.

Chairman Clark puts a booklet in front of Takeo.

"Excuse me.

... Hmm... The number of people is just over 30, almost the same as this year?

"Yes, enrollment has grown to 48 this year due to a variety of factors.

Next year, there will be one recommended admission slot from each local aristocracy.

There are 24 families in the Council of Lords, 16 families in the Territory, 2 families in the Institute, 42 families in total... it will be more than 70 people!

"I don't think all the aristocrats would recommend it.

How many people do you think would be ideal for Royal College?

"Isn't that right... I personally prefer two classes for 60 people.

That way, not every year, but graduates can be distributed between the provinces and the King's City, and the horizontal connection becomes better, making it easier for local information to come in.

There is also the possibility of securing talented people without entering the Royal College because of the additional transferability.

According to the current way of obtaining information, the King's Capital from the province is judged by listening to the intentions of the owner.

This is quite a problem, isn't it?

Most Royal College students are now employed in the Royal Castle.

Recently, students who want to go to the province have started to go out... In fact, due to the small number of students, priority has been given to the recruitment of the royal castle. The nobles who work in the royal capital are unable to move towards the recruitment of students at the Royal College.

Therefore, I would like to be able to recruit even the nobles who work in King's Landing once every few years so that we can get information that is not directly from the owner.

To do this, we have to increase the number of students.

"... hah, what did I propose before?

"Fufufu, that was a good suggestion.

The civilians moved quickly, and it was easy for me to put together a council of nobles.

"What about the distraction from the local nobility?

"Actually, it hasn't happened this time.

Especially on the west side, there are reports of some sort of plot.

"... His Highness Anne and His Highness Clina?

"Half, I affirm.

"Preferential allocation of the budget of King's Landing.

"That doesn't matter, does it?

The subsidies from King's Landing are smaller than what we make there, and they'll be trivial.

"The Elvis family was grateful to the royal castle.

It doesn't benefit me.

Takeo can say goodbye.

"I know Elvis is a real pain in the ass.

Please work hard with Lord Kitamizato in the future.

Also, I will discuss the cost of the laboratory at the Council of Lords, so please exclude it now.

"Will small subsidies continue in the future?

"Since there is an example (war), I can assume that listening to the reports of the bureaux will change, but I have not yet received a specific budget proposal from the Treasury Bureau, so I am only assuming it now.

Specifically, the Count will be notified.

"I'm sure it's better not to ask for subsidies, so I'll have to work to keep my income and expenses stable.

"That's what each territorial owner would think.

Chairman Clark nodded.

Steno Technologist.

"I'm really sorry Takao-sama!

"I'm sorry about Takeo.

Alice and Bell Sound sat between their desks with Bradley, Baines, and Void, describing the sale of ingredients to the lab that Takeo had been doing in King's Landing along the lines of the terms that had Viktor write down and lowered their heads as much as possible.

"No, no, Alice, please raise your head.

I don't care at all.

Because the tin is fine.

"Yes, that's right.

I'd rather be happy.

"That's right.

Not only do you bring the technology that was not recognized in the Catalan Empire to your knees to do business, but you also teach it to the National Laboratory (...), which is full of craftsmanship.

The three parents laughed and said.

"Hah... thank you for saying that.

I didn't know it was going to be like that over there, and I decided without being able to have a meeting beforehand... "

Alice raised her head in fear.

"... but the parent.

This is an amazing contents, right?

The bell tone talks to Bradley and the others looking at the conditions.

I see.

I sold it to them on condition that I didn't have any disadvantages.

"It's no problem to make a pocket watch as it is.

There's nothing wrong with making new materials.

If I make something, they may give me the formula.

So, I can get development funds from King's Landing.

It's not too good a condition.

"On the contrary, I wonder if there is something behind it.

The three of them really don't seem to care.

"Um... I received an inquiry from Takao-san as to whether this amount is better..."

Alice leaves the paper in front of the three of them.

"" Eh!?

Three people are surprised at the face value.

"It seems that the state has held a meeting with the monopoly bureau of Wangdu to buy the technology of Steno Technologies, but it seems that only this amount can be paid.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't know the right price, but I want you to be convinced.

"... too much?

"... so worthwhile?

"The kingdom of Azpal is amazing.

Is that it?

Alice tilted her neck in response to the three of them.
