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

Episode 352: The Council of Lords is under way. (Compensation to Takeo and funding for the operation of the Institute)

Meetings are being held in the halls within the Royal Castle between the Royal Family (3 princes), members of the Council of Lords and civil servants.

"Hmm... that's good, huh?

"Yes, Your Majesty.

I had the opportunity to speak with Sir Kitamizato this morning, and I thought I had to decide quickly.

Speaker Clark makes a difficult face.

"If that's what you decided at the Council of Lords, don't say anything.

Compensation for this practice, but we will talk to Takeo about 300 gold coins as compensation from the royal family and 320 gold coins as compensation from 20 houses belonging to the Council of Lords.

In addition, there shall be 100 gold coins as compensation from the Crown and 120 gold coins as compensation from 20 houses belonging to the Council of Lords.

Good. "

"" "Yes.

Everyone at the meeting responds.

"Uhm. This money only makes payments as compensation.

It's a special account, isn't it?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Exactly.

Orcott replies.

"Now let's say Takeo and the others make an apology when they return to the castle.

Clark, Orcott, William, be present.

"" "I'm in awe.

The three snort.

"Orcott, have the institute establishment requirements been consolidated?

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Please refer to the revised establishment requirements for the laboratories you have handed out.

At the outset, we have positioned the Royal Institute as a peer organization of the Wang Metropolitan Guard.

The organization of this laboratory will be as follows:

Orcott started explaining the institute's founding requirements.

"I see.

Each salary includes 1750 gold coins, including development funds, etc. as a domestic average?

In the first year, 200 gold coins will also be subsidized at the cost of the Institute's new construction.

Says King Azpar as he looks at the establishment requirements.

Other faces look at the material with a difficult face.

"Yes, the salary of 20 people per platoon and 3 developers weighs the most.

We estimated the labor cost alone at about 1250 gold coins.

But I can't live up to the obligation of secrecy unless it's the salary of every Knightly member in the country.

Sir Kitamizato's estimates were only like soldiers at the guard station, so we increased them there.

Well, you don't have to think about the actual payroll system for each.

"Right.

Because my salary is too cheap to quit the lab and let confidentiality leak.

Still lower than the executive class in Wangdu, huh?

"Yes, I only calculated it from the domestic average.

"Hmm... as for the running fund of the institute, shall we go with this?

King Azpar will judge.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

Orcott replies.

"Next, we will look at the weapons, protective equipment and equipment developed in the laboratory.

First, ask the Wang Metropolitan Guard to send a list to be developed at the institute in advance.

The Wangdu Defense Corps Executive Committee will review the research and confirm that it is not inhumane, but will send the test product to Wangdu Defense Corps for the developed items.

In doing so, you will also be asked to enclose a summary of the theory, how it was created, how it was operated, the estimated sales price, etc.

"Hmm.

Takeo's plan was to check with Wang Capital once when making the sale, but what are we going to do about it?

"Yes.

I think I will verify with the Wang Du Guard that the performance is as outlined within a month or two of you providing the test product and allow it to be sold as soon as the verification is complete.

At that time, you will be asked to sign a contract with the production and sales office and the laboratory to pay 30% of the sales price to the specialist bureau and 10% to the laboratory that developed it.

I'm going to give you permission to start selling after this contract has been signed.

We will also make the application of the developed technology within the scope of application of the contract.

"I see.

Will you ask the production company to pay 40% as a tax if you say so quickly?

"Yes.

If you don't do that, you won't be able to recover the Institute's funds.

Besides, I believe that I cannot continue to be motivated without about 10% special compensation in terms of rewarding the institute.

"Um, right.

Let's go with that plan, too.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

Orcott replies.

"The requirements for the establishment of this laboratory shall then be those of this Decision.

"" Ha!

Speaker Clark and Orcott respond.

"Uhm.

Now let's let Takeo and Alderson run it.

Olcott, when choosing from Wang Du, you can choose from a list of transferable personnel after William decides, right?

"You may choose from the list, both civilian and martial arts officers.

Of course, you can choose from your current location.

And then you should be spoken for yourself.

"Um, right.

I guess researchers will be knowledgeable... but that sounds a lot different.

Maybe he refuses to get under the director.

"Sire, I have some real feelings, do you have any idea?

"No, I belong to a royal dedicated magician... because I have no love or I'm weirdly rational.

"Sure.

"I'll tell Takeo about HR later.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

Orcott nods.

"Well, it's a lot past noon, but... ha... there's no report that you've discovered three people in the morning right now.

King Azpar sighs.

"Yes."

Speaker Clark looks tough.

"I bought some time talking about the lab, but... chief of security, did you get any reports of any related discoveries?

"No! We haven't reported it yet!

The chief of security will take a seat and report.

"Well... it will be time to decide.

Clark, okay?

"It's almost half a day since the outbreak.

They don't even get caught searching for the guard's soldiers.

I think we have to give up.

"... strip the Tanners, the Ralphs and the Tillets of their titles with the present.

Chief of Security, the search for the three houses is over.

Beyond that, make every effort to identify the cause of the explosion and fire.

"Ha!"

The chief of security responds and takes a seat.

"Three more yesterday or...

You've gone from 25 houses to 20 houses at once in Wang Capital.

Olcott, as a civilian, I know you're going through some assumptions, but how many times is this... no, let's not.

... we'll have to select a new nobleman.

Olcott, what do we do with the selection?

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Five houses are gone this time. However, we would like to adopt a 24-house system for the time being, as it would cost us to set up a laboratory and rebuild a house in the event of a fire.

"Uhm."

"Sir Babington, Sir Alderson and Sir Kitamizato have decided to be aristocrats.

We intend to select one from the nobility facing the United Wilip, one from the nobility facing the Katlanda Empire and two from the nobility facing the demonic kingdom.

"Um, there's nothing different about me... but what does Clark think?

"It can be said that one proposal would be to select two from the nobility facing the Katlanda Empire based on the inheritance of the next throne if it were...

I wonder if it would be better to select from the two remaining houses outside Count Elvis' territory facing the demonic kingdom later.

"Well, what do you think of Neil?

"Yes, that's all I'm thankful for because there's going to be a new aristocracy and institute with territory next to me.

Looking at the origins of the present House of Lords, there are seven selected from nobles facing the Katlanda Empire, seven selected from nobles facing the Wilip Union and six selected from nobles facing the Demonic Kingdom.

Just wondering if that appropriation would balance it out?

Neil answers.

"I see, you could say that.

Cliff, the one house you have left will let you decide after you move to Wang Du.

"Ha!"

"Let me see what you think.

"I'm in awe.

"Um. Okay, Orcott. Make your choice exactly.

Also inform all nobles, all martial officers and all civil servants of Cliff's succession to the next throne and William's transfer to the Crown.

And for Kitamizato, Babington and Alderson to become new aristocrats, for Babington and Alderson to be the directors of the institute in their territory and for Kitamizato to be the directors of the institute in Elvis territory, as was the case at the previous meeting, it is confirmed.

That's it. "

"" Ha!

Speakers Clark and Orcott responded, followed by members of the House of Lords and civilian officials.
