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

... it's not something I'm particularly concerned about.

I was hoping it would be a more innovative speech. "

Takeshi says he's the boss.

"... political criticism is not like this?

And is it true that Takeo watches the national elections before he comes here?

Even if you listen to this kind of theoretical table, it will sound shallow. "

Civipana says.

"Well... I try to look at the political system calmly to some extent."

Besides, I think it would be a foolish move to radically abolish the existing aristocracy.

Equal... knowing how to form a socialist republic or dismantle a state... I can't agree to that.

If you know that and you're making a speech... hey...

"Well, there are various political systems."

You think Takeo will do better as it is, don't you? "

"Although the Azpar Kingdom is a royal government."

However, the civil servant and the warlord were admitted by the people.

And you can climb to the highest Chancellor regardless of where you come from.

It can't be called dictatorship, and it's not oppressive.

I do not feel the need to make a political shift.

Is it because of my mind that democracy moves closer to socialism when it matures, and I feel closer to democracy when it matures? ”

Takeo says.

"Master Kitamizato, all soldiers have been deployed."

Are you sure you don't want me to stop? "

The Soldier Commander comes next to Takeo and says:

... I don't think it's a good idea from the public mind to pull that kind of thing off the stage.

Whatever the content, it gives the impression that you acknowledge the content of the speech by force.

When this happens, you just have to talk about it and bring it in... ”

"... is it okay?"

"You don't seem to empathize with the feeling of the people listening to you.

At a time when there is no incitement such as "good o'clock" or "say more"... this speech will be no good.

If you were going to give a speech, you should have examined the area before you did it.

... it's almost over.

Do not run away from the end of the speech and encourage them to accompany you.

If you refuse, I will gently take you with me.

And hear the circumstances in accordance with the law.

Count Elvis' realm doesn't bother me, but if the location is a place, it could be a disturbance.

... I wonder who told me to give such a speech here... "

"Hah! I'll look into it thoroughly."

The soldier commander replied.





"Hey! What the fuck! Let go!"

The people here want to hear me out! "

"Well, for now, come here and let me talk to you."

"Hahaha, we want to hear the speech just now, please do it again."

"I got you a cabin over here."

Yes, yes, be quiet.

Hey, don't be silent. "

"If you don't get permission for this kind of thing, I'll be in trouble."

If you have something to say, I'll ask you. "

A man who was giving a speech was taken by several soldiers holding both arms.

This man doesn't seem to mind the cold gaze of the audience.

... I don't know...

Takeo sends off as he enters the circle of listeners.

In the unlikely event of a brawl, we were able to protect the locals with our shields, but the soldiers quickly captured them and took them with them, so we had a hard time.

"Well!... Ahh, there are some opinions!"

How was everyone?

There are many things you might think about, but you have to take them as one way of thinking.

Well... I didn't know what he was going to say in the end, but I was able to recognize that thoughts. "

Takao turned his body to the audience who had listened to the speech earlier and said with a slightly louder voice.

Kita Mizato-sama! What is that about?

"Lady Kitamizato! The Elvis family has been badly told!"

What is it? "

"What a luxury the Elvis family is...!?"

I've never seen it before. "

Everyone starts asking Takeo.

"That's right.

Shall I think of what he said, one by one?

First of all, he said, "The nobility is fattening their own stomachs."

Certainly, the Elvis family is made up of your taxes.

This is an unwavering fact.

If you look at this differently, you might think it's my stomach.

However, I am very grateful to the Elvis family for paying the tax.

Of course, I am grateful to be a member of the Elvis family who live here.

The Elvis family exists because they are supported by everyone.

Everyone in the Elvis family, including the Count, is aware of this.

Thank you very much. ”

Takeo lowered his head in front of everyone.

No, Kitamizato-sama! Raise your head!

"We are the ones protecting you!"

You can also properly buy food! "

"Prices are stable, and jobs are good!"

Master Kita Mizato! It's okay! "

Everyone is in a panic.

“Thank you.

We are certainly saving a little bit of personal savings.

From your senses, it may be a little more.

And We don't have the luxury! 'I would like to say that we receive bread, soup, meat and salad, and sweets every evening on the dinner menu.

It may be luxurious to buy sweets every night.

However, we are trying to keep the cost down somehow, so we would like to send out sweets every night.

Alice is also happy to eat.

Thank you! Thank you! I hope you understand. "

Takeo says.

Kitamizato-sama, aren't you using luxurious items for meals?

Someone's asking.

"Indeed, I started importing from the Demon Kingdom."

Some of them are still too small or expensive to offer to you.

Sometimes we use such ingredients, but the monthly food cost is almost unchanged.

In terms of the method, we were able to control the cost by using a soup base recently announced by the Elvis family.

We spend our food expenses on imported ingredients and things that are a bit expensive.

We try our best not to affect the overall food cost.

Therefore, we do not believe that there is excessive luxury. "

That's right.

"If the cost of food doesn't change, you're not starting to have luxury."

“I know that you're going to cut down on other people and buy a little bit of luxury.

That's true of the Countess, isn't it? "

Everyone nods.

Kita Mizato-sama, I was wondering what you just said.

The people questioned Takeshi.





"Does that mean it won't work with the man I just told you about?"

At some point, everyone was provided with chairs from the shopping stores around, and I could ask for tea cheaply, and it was a blue sky sitting with Takeo and the residents.

“I think so.”

Takeo nods.

"If we do politics, will we fail?"

"Hmm... I don't think it's a mistake."

It's hard to say... hmm... let's try to sort it out.

Didn't he say, 'We will eliminate those who have power'?

This includes not only the nobility, but also the senior ranks of civil and military officials. ”

Is that so?

"Yes, well, the directors, deputy directors, and section chiefs of each department."

They are empowered.

The essence is the authority from Count Elvis, that is, the power to 'act on your own ideas'.

Consider, for example, the Environment Agency.

The Environment Agency's main task is to collect and dispose of garbage from the city.

This is it.

But the day before yesterday it was a big event... For example, a ceremony or a birth of a child would be a festival.

If you do that, there will be a lot of garbage. ”

Yeah, yeah.

Everyone nods.

"Let's say that the number of carriages that are normally collected cannot be recovered."

If Count Elvis is to judge everything, it is reported to him that he will not be able to retrieve everything here as usual, and he will have to move as many units as he can to the places where they are most often retrieved.

Now, Count Elvis doesn't have time to judge these things every day.

The original task of Count Elvis is not to judge such a detailed response, but to judge the policies necessary for the development of the territory, such as placing people, thinking about the division of the city, and maintaining security and defense in the territory, in anticipation of the development of the territory five or ten years later.

Therefore, I will start thinking about what is happening in the city, "No, you don't have to report it."

Therefore, he gives his subordinates the power to "If the carriage to be recovered runs out, he will have the right to send another carriage to be recovered and returned, so the report is good after the fact."

In other stations, it gives you the right to make money, to arrange people, and so on... you can create the organization that you are. "

"I see."

"Well..." he said, "I'll get rid of those who have power."

This is not just referring to the civil servants who supported our lives now, but he said that he would fire everyone from the directors to the section chiefs, the knights, the soldiers to the platoon leader who would make nuanced decisions.

So I don't think it's going to work, but I think it's going to cause more confusion if I don't give you instructions on how to move. ”

"Nhh..."

“So, he's right, we've eliminated people and things that we can use in our own judgment, and we've placed people who have no experience with Count Elvis' current position.

Newcomers who haven't yet made their own decisions, either, have they?

Garbage collection and disposal, tax administration and disposal, agriculture and commerce, industrial guidance, building applications, policing and patrols, defensive actions when monsters appear... can you do that? "

”” Ah, that's a failure. ””

Everyone nodded.
