A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 2091: Bad Tricks with Pepper. 2 (Let's fund agricultural research.)
"Nh... Kitamizato-sama, if the purchase price exceeds 1kg and 2 silver coins from the wholesaler, the transaction should be closed."
"Yeah, well, it's not the end of the deal, it's the end of the deal."
It's not a matter of becoming a deficit.
At that time, I and Simona and Mr. Levant will gather for discussion.
Investigation of the cause of why two or more silver coins became necessary and countermeasures for it.
If you are not satisfied with the cause, and we cannot find a countermeasure even if we discuss it, let's finish and do something else. "
"I understand.
Then I will confirm whether the contract can be concluded in that way. "
Levant nods.
"Yes, but if not, I will buy 20kg for now, and if you can sell me the available amount, I will buy it."
Well, in that case, I don't want to spread it in the Azpar Kingdom, but I'll just enjoy it. "
I see.
Levant nods.
"So, Mr. Levant and Mr. Simona will bite you too."
If you can both import 40 kg per month, you can take one silver per kg as a success reward or profit. "
Huh?
The two of them looked at Takeshi in surprise.
"Eh?... I'm pretty sure I'm giving profits to the wholesalers, but I'm also limiting them.
In a way, if the wholesaler is greedy, it could end in a year or so without waiting 11 years for the contract. ”
“Is that okay?
Kitamizato-sama's share will be small, or the final selling price will soar? "
"Yeah, I don't mind.
It will be quite expensive in the Kingdom of Azpar.
And pepper is not meant to be popular, it's just a premium condiment.
It might help me make a connection...
Ah, for obvious reasons, please say that "for the purpose of producer protection, please think that purchasing a certain number at a high price for 11 years will enable producers to earn a stable income and strengthen their living base".
And we have forty silver coins a month.
Even if you stop the import and export of pepper for some reason, the 40 silver coins will hurt your income, but they won't crush you.
This is a good amount.
If you need to do more, you might stick to selling pepper.
Because humans are greedy.
It is not a mistake to be able to buy a lot and sell a lot as a business... but the risk is higher in the unlikely event of that.
We are in the business of dealing with a lot of goods, and even if any of them fails, it is good if any of them sells.
In my case, I would like to use the profits from the pepper to cover the research expenses related to the US.
If you have exactly 11 years, you will be able to create something that sells there. ”
"That's right.
I'm starting to grow apricots, and I have new potatoes.
I have received too many gold coins for brokerage, but the pepper sales will be used to raise me.
Of course, if it goes well, I will export it not only to Aunt Levant, but also to Master Kitamizato. "
Simona says.
"That's right... it's more reasonable to think that Kitamizato-sama is investing in new things than I am hungry."
Then, I will use it so that I can maintain the connection with Karlla of the Kingdom of Briani and her shops, the shops of the Count of Brini, the shops of the Count of Custo and the shops introduced to me, the inquirer and blacksmith.
I would like to receive the latest information if I ask about the latest situation about it twice a year, and perhaps there is something that you can buy for Kitamizato like the pepper this time. "
Levant nodded.
All three of them confirmed that the profits from the pepper would be used for the future.
"By the way, I told Simona about a new kind of red potato in the territory of a dwarf."
"That's... not answered yet, is it?"
"I have no choice but to ask the wholesaler to do his best."
If you are going to make alcohol from that potato, I think it has a high sugar content, which means it has a strong sweetness.
Then I think there is a way to grow more potatoes than just planting them like regular potatoes. ”
“Why do you think that?”
"Huh? Sweets and all kinds of sweets are designed to combat insects."
That means that if the bugs see something sweet, they can come and eat it, so if they cut the potatoes like regular potatoes and filled them with ash, would I be the only prey? "
"I see... when you sell those red potatoes, do I have to ask you how to grow them..."
Will you sell it to me in the first place? "
Levant tilts his neck.
... I hear that dwarves are strong against alcohol.
Would you like to give me some? ”
Takeshi says while thinking about it.
“Oh yeah, we had Walt Whiskey.
We need to make sure Daniela doesn't find us.
Somehow she comes when Walt Whiskey and Worcester Sauce arrive.
That's a good idea, isn't it? "
"... you're free, aren't you?"
Well, even so, you can't give it away in large quantities.
I can only spin a few bottles, so can you get it from me? "
"Nh... the ordering pressure afterwards is troublesome...
Kita Mizato, do you think there is a future for red potatoes? ”
“Is it a purchase to make sure of that?”
"Ahh... that's right.
Then you can get it through barter.
Well, I will try to propose if the inquisitor who is working hard over there fails. "
“Yes, please.”
Takeo nods.
Alright! Then, before your companions come back, will you make a draft contract for the enclosure of pepper that Kitamizato mentioned earlier?
It was time for Levant to take his seat.
