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

“The popularity of paper bags is a problem, and we've heard about their convenience from Langford.

However... the more you calculate, the more the required amount of production... is still difficult in general.

That said, if you only use it in various bureaus in the capital city, you'll be able to produce a lot and your consumption won't catch up... nnh... "

The director of the finance bureau said with a difficult face.

“So, would you add value to general use?

For example, it was in the form of a prototype before, but there was oil on one side of the paper.

Why not sell this only to certain industries such as fruit and vegetable stores? ”

"... that's because the paper's weak point is that it won't break even when it's watering, right?"

If you carry it outside, it will be an added value, right?

By the way, what kind of application did Lord Kitamizato use for prototyping? "

In the words of Takeo, the director of the monopoly bureau says:

"... for cooking."

It looks like Lord Kitamizato.

The Director of the Monopoly Office smiles bitterly.

"It is true that the monopoly bureau used to prototype and give up the oil on one side of the paper."

You were reported to be unable to make a profit. ”

The Director of the Department of Finance says.

"After trying it, do you stop... because there are many work processes?"

"That's true, too."

I have considered using the paper, but the size of the bag is particularly important.

In the first place, it was completely different depending on the industry and application.

This made it difficult to unify opinions. "

"... but it feels the same as this time?"

“Yes, but that's a story within the monopoly bureau.

This time, the Finance Bureau and Lord Kitamizato are coming in, so we have to draw some kind of conclusion, and we are moving within the Bureau. "

The Director of the Monopoly Bureau says.

"... don't you have to be so enthusiastic?"

Well, this time, the opinion seems to be unified.

So, it's a test sale of a small amount of paper bags... would it be difficult to get to Count Elvis? "

"I want you to wait a little longer to sell it outside the capital."

The increase in production depends on the current results.

However, we still have to do less for the general public.

According to the Director of the Monopoly and Langford, there is also a possibility that demand will come out of nowhere when it comes out into the city.

I can't deal with that yet.

However, there has to be some kind of result to increase production in earnest.

If you do that, you'll have a reason to spend your budget... "

The Director of the Department of Finance says.

"Nh... I didn't get the budget to produce, but I could only produce a small amount first."

To expand production beyond that, we need to make a prediction that there will be demand.

With current production, we can't cover the potential demand across the city when it lights up.

Furthermore, even if it moves to increase production after the fire is lit, it is not possible to increase production immediately, so it is only a short time before it can be covered.

In the meantime, there may be criticism from the monopoly bureau and the finance bureau, and I want to avoid that.

However, you want the survey results that there is demand in order to get the next budget.

It's so grand, isn't it? "

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

“The limited production of paper bags is because we made cardboard a top priority.

The Bureau of Finance receives a tremendous amount of reports and materials every year related to taxes.

Even the cost of transportation is considerable, and if the amount that can be put on a horse-drawn carriage increases because it changes from a wooden box to a cardboard box, it will reduce expenses, so it is more of a cardboard box than a paper bag. "

The Director of the Monopoly Bureau says.



The director of the finance bureau diverts his attention.

"Everyone has a plan."

And it's not wrong, because one of the purposes of cardboard is to increase the volume of transport.

This means that products that meet the potential demands of the Finance Bureau have been created.

So, if there is, it is not necessary to commercialize paper bags by force.

All you have to do is focus on cardboard and try to produce and spread paper bags for the next use after sales and production have stabilized.

It doesn't mean we have to do both at the same time. ”

"Thank you for saying that, Lord Kita Mizato."

It will take a few years to popularize paper bags. "

The director of the finance bureau makes a happy face.

"If you are a paper bag resistant to water, we will study it at the monopoly bureau (our).

By the time we can produce paper bags, I'd like to be able to produce comparable results, but...

By the way, Mr. Kita Mizato, I think there are sales at the store by using paper bags, but there are other uses, right? "

The director of the monopoly office asks me.

"Personally, I'd like to sell bags of sweets."

Close the seal by placing 100 g for 100 g and 200 g for 200 g, not by weight.

I think that being resistant to water is a product that is also strong against oil.

In addition, the sealed bag can also serve as a cushioning material for itself, so I wish I could load a few in cardboard and ship them to neighboring towns and neighboring towns.

Look, until now, stores have had to open stores in that city or town to develop their products.

To open a store means that there is no need without demand to be able to maintain the store.

The opening of such stores in the village should be financially demanding in terms of population ratio.

However, if the product can be sealed with paper and sent by cardboard, the product itself is light and there is a possibility that it will be mixed with some other product and taken to the store.

That way, I may be able to extend the sales network to the villages.

If you don't have to go all the way to town to buy the same things, life in the village will change.

You may yearn for a town, a king's city, or there may be young people who settle in the village.

I might sell it from the village to the town... I think it would be a good time to teach the children in the village to yearn for the royal capital and that they can compete against the town's shop opponents even from the village. "

"I see, I've heard good things."

The Director of the Monopoly Bureau and the Director of the Finance Bureau nodded.
