A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 222: Day 14: Post-dinner debriefing. (What to do with 300m2 of land. What is the Adventurers Union? )
"What are you going to say, by the way?
"As for securing 300m2 of land, I think there are three means the Elvis family can take.
"Uhm."
"Right.
Mr. Elvis and Frederick nod. Alice and Smith seem to listen seriously.
"The first is to prepare new land outside the castle gate.
The second is to get away from the city, but the Elvis family will buy up the fields and secure the land.
In doing so, a financial guarantee should be given to the farmer.
The third is to secure land near the tailor... close to the street.
"" Yes.
Alice and Smith nod.
"If you want to take safety precautions, it's the second... and I want the third.
"Why is that?
Smith boy asks.
"The reason is to get close to the tailor so that the work instructions can be communicated quickly and the inspection can be checked quickly during loading and unloading to the carriage.
It can also be taken from low-income people to employees because it creates jobs.
I think it's the distance between the house and the factory that matters at that time.
If it's far away, it could become a hassle and stop coming.
I think you can work even for a short time if you're close.
"Um, it's a poverty measure.
"It's not gross, though. It would be a few people first.
However, dozens of jobs are possible in view of future developments.
"I see..."
Smith nods.
"We secure land for a place facing the street... but residents will be anxious if the Elvis family forces them.
So I think I'll give it to two backdoor businesses.
"Hmm? You're not asking me to secure it?
Grandpa Elvis asks strangely.
"Yeah, I'm not asking you to.
It would be more profitable for the Elvis family to buy up the fields and lend them to a tailor in the first place.
I want to be near the street because I want to be more efficient at my job than that profit.
If you're a real estate person, can you see the 'tasty fruit' that creates jobs and then refrains from doing so?
So I'm going to ask the two of you to give me and my store manager a presentation of the land.
If you don't like both of them, I'll let you decide on the field proposal.
"Dear Takeo, what is' delicious fruit '?
Smith boy asks.
"Now the tailor is about to set up discussions with two tailor unions: Count Godwin Territory and Wang Capital.
When the conversation progresses smoothly or you have more business partners, more people visit the city, including the hauliers of materials and coats, and the accountancy and sales of the other shops.
The taverns, inns, pleasure streets that those people would go to... there should be a lot of demand for tables, backs, and operations.
"... Dear Takeo, don't you see that the two of you in real estate don't have to secure land to increase demand?
Alice asks.
"Right.
If so, that's fine.
But you want to avoid the possibility of customers being taken to the other party's pleasure streets that are competing as psychology.
Look, surprisingly, people tend to spend a little more money when they go somewhere other than local.
"Wouldn't building a factory on one road or the other harass you?
Smith also asks.
"Aren't you going to.
Basically, there's a tailor manager on the front street, so the back street has been unfavourable since the beginning.
You can show as good a condition as you can override that... will be a battle.
Well, if you lose, I'll give you a tip on how to make a back family business or a liquor store.
"Hmm? Does Takeo know?
"No, I don't know the details... but you'll be able to give me something that looks like a hint.
For example, condescending a preference not found in the other region...?
"Isn't that natural?
Alice asks.
"Yeah, of course... but... is it really making a difference?
"Hmm? What does that mean?
"The number of stores and what kind of atmosphere the pleasure streets have been written in the materials I received...
Sounds like they're both alike.
"Are they similar?
"Mass taverns for the general public, taverns where women serve customers... are about the same number on both the front and back streets...
I think I could change it a little bit more because the two pleasure streets are close by.
... With that said, there's no slavery in Elvis territory, is there?
"Each noble territory below the kingdom of Azpur does not take slavery.
There's slavery in the neighborhood... in the Willip Union.
That country is human supremacy. All human beings are slaves.
They say elves and beasts are in the slave class... but I've never been there, so I only know them in the literature.
"By the way, what would you do if someone with a slave contract in the Willip Union walked into this country?
"Hmm, because the contract is being fulfilled...
I just have to ask you to destroy it.
"... that's... that's a lot of difficult issues.
The elf... well, the image boils... but what is a beast man?
"A beast is a human species that matches the characteristics of people with other animals.
It is classified as a beasthead human being, a human upper body and an animal lower body, a person who transforms into an animal figure and three generic names.
"I see.
Hmm? With that said... the Beast Man on the road when I first met Mr. Elvis (?) You saw the person.
"Hmm... maybe he was there.
"I don't see it all over the city here.
"Well, basically, the Beasts live along the border with the Demon Kingdom.
I basically don't live in this city.
You don't even want to be a soldier. You won't even come if you apply.
More than that, they make a living as adventurers and mercenaries.
"Adventurer? What is...?
"Um, I'm not the one who signs up for the Adventurers' Union (Guild) to do adventures.
If we have business, if we ask for a request from every city store, it will depend on the amount.
And it's not convenient to travel.
If we keep some money together in the union, we can pull it out on different lands.
"I see... I get it. I'll try to register within that.
"Uhm.
And I thought I'd get back to it. When are we supposed to meet the two examples?
"It's before noon tomorrow, right?
"Suddenly.
"Well, we're going to meet each other face-to-face... so there won't be any particular problem.
I asked for a presentation of the factory land and just withdrawn it.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Uhm.
That would be good. Enforcement if you have to... you can use the biggest trump card.
"Don't stir up residents' anxiety.
In the meantime, I'm just making a suggestion tomorrow.
"Uhm."
Grandpa Elvis nodded worryingly.
