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

On the morning of the royal castle, Denham, the director of the exclusive bureau, came to the rooms of the Takeo.

"... is that it?"

Denham knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer from inside.

"Huh? Director of the plenipotentiary?

Master Kita Mizato, have you left after breakfast? "

The maid who passed by said it.

"Huh?... is that so?"

"Yes, my meeting with His Majesty was after noon, so I went out to finish my errands until then."

I'll finish my lunch outside, too. ”

"I see... I see, I'll come back out."

Denham was going back to work.

------------------------

A lumber shop in Ascam.

At the meeting place in the back where Takeo always passes through.

"The customer who came first thing in the morning was Lord Kitamizato."

I thought the aristocrats would be more relaxed, but it's early. ”

Askam said in amazement.

"It's not boring to be in the Imperial Castle."

"Hah... what are you running from?"

"From troublesome meetings and consultations.

Dad, can we get this all together in three days?

The budget is 30 gold coins. ”

Takeo puts the paper (as Viktor wrote for me) in front of Askam.

"Excuse me... that's quite a lot."

... why did you bring this in? "

Askam looks at the content of the letter and says:

"I can personally go around each store and buy it, but it takes time, and I don't have a store I know, so I don't know whether it's good or bad price discount or quality.

I would like to ask someone who knows the capital. "

Takeo says.

"... what will you do if I refuse?"

"Nothing... Especially not..."

All I have to do is go shopping around each store.

It would be nice if there were all the things written there.

However, I just want to make a request because I hate the hassle. ”

"Um... you brought it to me for a reason?"

"I'm asking for an acquaintance and a relationship with the Willip Allies and the Katranda Empire, so I just thought I'd ask for a job that might be of some benefit.

Besides, my dad is not so much a... but a person who is open in the streets, and there is a horizontal connection even if the products are different.

That's why I thought you would be able to arrange it in such a good way.

I'll leave you 30 gold coins if you take it. ”

"Hmm... let's take it.

Make it 4 days instead of just 3. ”

"I understand.

Then I'll leave you 30 gold coins. "

Takeshi takes out the gold from the backpack.

"... purchase order and acknowledgement?"

"I don't have it, so please make it."

"Hah... I see.

By the way... we have heard that Lord Kitamizato's troops are small. "

"I don't know who told you that, but... yes."

"This amount of meat and vegetables in this small unit, right?"

Is there something there? "

Askam asks.

“I don't think I'd buy it if I didn't have anything?”

"Well... it's important to buy it in the capital without buying it in Elvis."

... it's a war, isn't it? "

"... please buy it before the price goes up."

Takeshi said without changing his expression.

"I was awed.

The fact that the royal castle has not yet been announced means that it has not yet officially come.

We will treat the information strictly. "

Askam lowers his head and collects gold.

By the way, Dad, can you handle the grain from the Willip Allies?

"Yes, I can."

I'm still buying 5kg at a time, so I just need to have more of that territory. ”

What's the opposite?

... um... that's an example of a war, right?

But for the time being, aren't you going to deal with it in the Imperial Castle? "

"I'm sure you will.

But there is a possibility of shipping grain privately and selling it over there, right?

It was the place where the battle was fought.

There is demand itself for at least a year.

Well, I don't know if the other residents can afford it. "

"Of course, you can buy and distribute it in the Royal Castle, but it's not like you can do it for a year or two."

I know I'm going to pull my hand at some point. ”

"... maybe someone who will rule the occupied territories will buy it and distribute it."

... I see... those who have sold cheap products in the private sector may still be able to wholesale them afterwards... and maybe be able to handle other products...

Askam puts his hand on his mouth and thinks.

"Moreover, they are a losing nation."

If you say that the country has been taken, the income has decreased, but the population has decreased, most of them will go to other countries.

Now... is that enough?

There is a possibility of selling a little higher to other countries, right? ”

"There is a lot, but it is a war opponent country. If you don't make it unusually expensive, it seems like it will be a legitimate business."

Lord Kitamizato took it from Elvis territory? "

"I'll deal with the Demon King domestically, not domestically."

It would be good if it was imported wheat. "

“I'm not going to eat it, I'm going to sell it in Willip Allies.

Is the price expensive? ”

"Nh... I can't say anything.

I don't know what time it is, but I can sell it without affecting the price of any territory in the realm. ”

"Hmm... that's not about drawing conclusions right now.

However, it may be a good idea to connect with the Falke merchants of the Willip Alliance from within. ”

Askam nodded.
