A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1942 Talk to King Azpar.(We need a consultation.)
Um... come in.
King Azpar knocked on the office door, so Leila and the others came in.
"Leila, Alma, Erica, Smith, Amy, Gina and Donnelly...
Something happened... "
King Azpar wonders and says.
"Don't be wary, stepfather."
Leila laughs bitterly.
"I'll ask you about Leila and the others later, so I'm just in time to do my business.
Gina. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I received a report from Takeo on an inspection of the Demon King's country, but the people accompanying him will leave tomorrow.
This is a copy of the personnel list.
Send it to Takeo. "
"I was afraid."
Gina goes before King Azpar and receives a small document.
"So? I'm done here, but...
Hah... I wonder who to ask. "
King Azpar sees Leila and the others.
"Your Majesty, I will explain."
Erica comes out a step ago and says:
"Okay... let's hear it."
"Yes, now, this is the instruction from the Elvis family who is currently under Lord Smith."
Erica started explaining.
"Hmm... Using Amy and Pat to buy from the Second and First Princes."
King Azpar listened with his arms around him.
Yes.
It is only a request from Lord Smith to purchase from His Highness Amy and His Highness Pat.
It would be a good place not to ask the Earl of Elvis for two royalties.
Amy and Pat may not be able to rely on their parents, but... in light of all the circumstances, we need to move our parents. "
"Hmm... What does Amy think?"
King Azpar waves to Amy.
"Erica's proposal is for me and Pat to pick up and sell half of the instructions that Smith is giving us, but... yeah, well, the second prince family (the parents' home) won't be a problem.
If it is as usual, there should be plenty of stockpiles as is, and even if there is less temporary stockpile, there is still room to buy more.
If the amount is allocated, there is a high probability that it can be sold.
However, since it is sold outside the territory, you will not know the selling price unless you contact your parents. "
Amy answers.
I see.
Since neither Cliff nor Neal have failed to produce the product, it is not reported, so the harvest will be the same as usual.
Hmm... Smith, is it okay to keep the order in two houses? "
"Yes, Your Majesty.
It doesn't say where to ask from my parents, so as far as I'm concerned, it's okay if I have the amount of wheat I've been instructed to. "
Smith answers.
"... hmm.
Well, is Amy okay?
Smith should also take a good look at the quote to make sure there are no omissions... Yeah, that's good.
Erica, that's good.
First of all, do you need someone to check the contents... I'll show Pat to the General Inspectorate, we'll have a long relationship, and it'll be an affordable project for the first time.
Amy's better... William or Smith's better off with Leila. "
King Azpar nods.
"I see.
Do you want me to give Pat and Amy instructions, stepfather? "
"No... I'll be fine.
Let's do it at Leila's request.
If Smith relied on Leila and Leila relied on me, Pat would also move.
Pat and Amy will be instructed to contact their parents and bring the prescribed amount of wheat to King's Landing for sale to Smith.
You will have Smith prepare two purchase orders.
Will you write down the quantity of wheat to be ordered, the purchase price, the date and time to be collected in King's Land, etc.?
I see... can we have it ready in two days? "
"Yes... ah, no, Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
It is possible to prepare the purchase order itself, but only the quantity of wheat you want to purchase and its sales amount can be prepared by the end of two days.
I don't know the date and time of collection at this stage on the second day.
So I want you to give me a respite. "
Smith refuses King Azpar's request.
Smith slightly lost face, while Amy and Donnelly slightly opened their eyes to what Smith refused.
But I don't know three other people than Amy, Donnelly, and Smith on the spot are getting better evidence for this decision.
"Oh... I see.
How many days do you think you'll be able to submit a purchase order? "
"That's..."
Smith thinks.
King Azpar and Leila are waiting for Smith to answer.
"... Huh.
Gina, what do you think? "
Smith relies on Gina.
Adults may praise Smith in their hearts for choosing not to judge themselves.
"Yes, Mr. Smith.
... First of all, when we ask His Highness Amy for a favor, what we have to think about is the departure date of the King's Capital, calculated backwards from the delivery date to the Elvis family.
And Lord Amy, I cannot estimate the number of working days in King's Landing without deciding how to transport the wheat brought by Lord Pat to the Elvis family.
Speaking of time to think specifically about these conditions... there is also Royal College, so I think it would be better to spend at least a week and 10 days looking at the spare time. "
Gina tells Smith.
"... Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but can you submit the purchase order to Lord Pat and Lord Amy in two weeks?"
"Two weeks? It's not 10 days?"
"Gina is excellent.
A good man says 10 days looking at his spare time, but I am a mortal.
When making a purchase order, I think there are a lot of things that need to be investigated and things that need to be known.
I think we need time to understand them.
And I've never transported this amount of wheat.
I would like to review it and do it many times. "
Smith says.
"Hmm... well, that's what I'm talking about.
Okay, Smith, bring me the purchase order in two weeks.
Amy will move, so I'll give Pat some information, but that's okay, right? "
"Yes, but I think there could be a discrepancy with the purchase order."
"That's... that's not gonna work, just advance information.
Well, Smith, I'm looking forward to it in two weeks. "
King Azpar nodded.
