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

"I know it's hard to get raw wood.

First of all, the trees are finite.

So let's find an alternative resource.

Well... that's the idea of collecting and reusing used paper. "

"" That's the recycled paper business. ""

"Yes, that's right.

Civilians work and consume a lot of paper in the King's City and in cities with various lord's residences.

Paper used in notepads, drafts, etc. other than those left in official documents is discarded.

It would be a waste to just throw this away.

Collect unwanted paper, dissolve it in water, and turn it back into paper.

This is the only way to increase paper raw materials without increasing the amount of wood harvested. "

"However, there may be something written that cannot be done outside to collect for reuse.

I think burning them together in each department will lead to the preservation of secrecy. "

Langford says.

"Yes, I need a shredder."

Takeo nods.

"" Shredder? ""

"It's a machine that cuts and crushes objects... well, it's a machine that cuts thin paper.

The structure is simple.

Attach a few thin circular iron plates to the cylinder and prepare two.

The mounting position is out of order.

Place the iron plates so that they overlap slightly and rotate by hand.

The direction of rotation is forward and reverse, so you can get the paper involved. "

"Can the device be built immediately?"

Haggard asks.

"If you're willing, you can build a test machine in a few days, but if you can't, just cut it with scissors.

Please hang up when handling it individually.

Besides... in the first place, I think that burning together is the source of the leak.

Leaving someone in the department to him is a dangerous act in itself.

If you don't want it to leak, the person who threw away the paper should first shred it. "

Takeo says.



"To help prevent a secret leak, first, if you destroy documents, etc., you'll have to call on everyone to shred them with scissors.

It would not be unfair for each station to start the whole of King's Landing at once, and I don't think we can do it from the beginning.

Keep your supervisors' eyes open and exercise due diligence when there are deficiencies, so that information leaks are thoroughly suppressed.

At that time, you'll need to have a trash can (...) dedicated to paper to make sure it's shredded.

And instead of him burning it, it would be better to take it to the monopoly and melt it.

It is a win-win proposal for information leakage and resource recovery.

Moreover, the amount of paper that comes out every month may not fluctuate very much, so if the monopoly office checks the amount of paper brought in from each station, contacts each station, and tells the monthly fluctuation number, it can be seen that something happened when the number decreased dramatically.

... ah, does the Treasury Board have seasonal fluctuations in relation to taxes? "

Takeo asks Langford.

"Eh... yeah, sure, it was sent all at once from the country.

There are quite a few things that can be processed, but it seems a little out of the ordinary to shred them individually...

The Treasury Board has a considerable amount of paper to dispose of.

I will personally say that it is impossible to cut it... "

"... then you need a large shredder.

Do you need a device that can be shredded even if you stack about 10 sheets?

Well, the strength of the rotating iron plate and the improvement of the rotating part seem to help. "

"... is that possible?"

Well, if it's a prototype.

After that, can I ask you to manufacture it somewhere... well, that's an overview now as we think about it in retrospect.

That's how you collect paper from each station and produce recycled paper.

Well, even if you make recycled paper, it will be difficult to make blank paper due to the influence of ink and the like.

So... can you make me brown paper? "

Is it brown?

Denham and Haggard will hear.

"It doesn't matter what color it is.

It will be black due to the influence of ink, etc., but if it is black as it is, it will not be black because it does not put what is in the box when it is packed.

When I say something, I also feel that the vivid color... is something different.

So... is it earthy? If it is light brown, a little dirt is not noticeable, and even if you write something, you will know what it says.

And if you mix the soil around it, it's going to be that color, so you don't have to spend any money. "

Takeo says.

"Lord Kitamizato, at the end of the day, it's a big deal."

Langford says he's stunned.

"I don't mind the color.

I think the brown system is calming down because it stands out when it is bright, but it is a good story if the production side thinks about it.

Now... do you think the proposal for the recycling paper project and the plan for the afforestation project will go through in Wang Dynasty? "

"At least... I know it's worth it."

Langford says.

"However, this is a business that requires coordination not only with the monopoly offices, but also with each station.

Will the other bureaux cooperate... "

Haggard says.

"Hmm... it's expensive..."

Denham roared with his arms around him.
