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

"So... I'll change the subject a little bit, but Lord Kitamizato, you didn't see the city of slavery, did you?"

"Yes, before I saw Slave City, I bought a family of Elves in the arena, and I ran out of money."

I asked Mr. Cesco to join the Royal Guard.

I thought I might buy it if I went to see it, so I didn't go. ”

Takeo says.

"That's right.

It is not something to go to see. "

said the Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

"... Takeo, the directors of foreign affairs went to see it."

"It looks like you'll be shed with emotion."

"Well... I just went to see it this time, but if I had the money, I would have bought it with sympathy."

... I felt sick when I watched it. "

"I think the reaction is correct."

Hmm, that's right.

King Azpar and Takeo nodded to the words of the Director of Foreign Affairs.

"I didn't get to buy it, but if I got the next one, it would be overlooked."

I don't know if it's a neighbor, but I started preparing to set up a base in the Falke kingdom, which is adjacent to the kingdom of Azpar.

We're reviewing a few properties and starting to review them. ”

"Hmm, it's as planned."

Takeo, I think this place will be a shop for anything, but if you tell me what I want to buy, it will be a job, so it will be helpful. "

King Azpar will tell you.

"... do you want to create a direct store in the Empire of Katranda and the Allies of Willip?"

Takeo asks with a real face.

“Oh, the Katranda Empire is an informal bargaining place, and the Willip Allies are mostly intelligence-gatherers, but they're anything up front, and they probably need a little bit of sales.

The Katranda Empire is set to become a shop by distributing grain to other armies.

The problem is that Willip is a coalition country... do you have anything to buy or sell... "

"Outwardly, I plan to move from Japan and become an import and export shop... but I still buy things that I sell.

What should we treat as the main thing? ”

King Azpar and the Director of Foreign Affairs are troubled.



Takeo looks out the window with an indescribable look on his face.

Takeo, do you have any good ideas?

"No... well... I don't know what to do."

I was told by King Azpar to think that Takeo would turn his face to the two of them.

Hmm, even Takeo can't think of anything right away.

"Small items are easy to purchase and have good things, right?

I think it's possible on a budget. ”

said the Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

"That's true, but it may seem strange that the storefront has survived for several years without customers coming at all."

"That's true, too.

Cereals... are cheaper in the Willip Allies.

Armament... is also no good, as long as you just sell it, but you can't accept repairs or special orders without a craftsman.

You don't want to leave anyone but the royal castle on the go, do you? "

"... wine...?"

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

"Hmm..."

"If the grain is cheaper on the other side, we must definitely wholesale the grain with a difference."

However, such goods are produced in small quantities and will be used in the capital and the royal castle, so they are not suitable for export.

It would be safer to keep it private for now.

Small items can't be sold if you don't know what's on the other side, and if they don't sell, your legs won't grow and you'll be suspicious.

If it is imported wine, I think there are people who buy it in terms of rarity, and it is not suspicious even if handled by a few people because of the distance.

It's expensive because it's an export product, and if it tastes good, it can be sold to the rich people there (...).

Preferably, it is not produced in the aristocratic territory facing the Willip United States, but wine from the vicinity of the capital city that is directly transported from the capital city.

The flavor is good, the price is good, and if you get along with them, you can buy fine wines from the capital, deepen your relationship, and extract information...? "

Hmm... not bad... but it's wine from near the capital...

"Your Majesty, what about the wine from the 1st Prince's family?"

Since His Highness Cliff left, the new nobility will inherit, but you're from the royal capital, aren't you? "

... I'm not sure, but... that's what it's about.

Takeo and the others are all from the provinces.

I guess you want to balance it out. ”

"I'm sure you'll say it in advance."

"Well... let's make some wine for the Willip Alliance."

"Yes, it would be nice if it could be purchased there for the Katranda Empire."

Ideally, it should be a different brand.

We may be able to follow them. ”

"... I don't think our wine will make it back and forth between the Katranda Empire and the Allies, but if we can follow it, we'll see the connection."

Well, it's a sellout, so how to follow it is going to be a challenge. "

King Azpar says, reflecting on the Foreign Office's proposal.

"... if you write down the name of the person who sold the bottle and record the number when you find the bottle in another country, you will know who is connected to whom you do not know who will intervene in the process when you receive an inquiry at a later date."

Takeo says.

Hmmm... that's not bad either, but...

Your Majesty, Lord Kitamizato, I will consider this matter within the civil servant.

It was said by the Director of Foreign Affairs.
