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

The director's office of the monopoly bureau in the royal castle.

Ah ~ ♪

"Amaiiiiii ♪

Sunset fog, isn't it so sweet?

Isn't it delicious?

"I see... is this what sweetness is all about?

This is what you call delicious.

She enjoyed Vieira, Mia and the misty sweets of the evening.

Incidentally, when I went to the Human Resources Bureau, the meeting of Takeo and the others started immediately, so I slept in the morning and didn't care about me.

"Ha ha, you seem pretty narrowed down by the Human Resources Bureau.

Oh, Master Kitamizato came to buy me some sweets today.

The director of the monopoly says while eating sweets.

"When I come to other departments, the sweets are delicious... as long as I envy them.

The director of the economic bureau who was present said while eating.

"How do you know about HR?

"Yeah? I just happened to be bothering you when Lord Kitamizato was over there.

I have a report that the directors and Lord Kitamizato are having a little chat with each other.

Are you coming to my house next? I thought, "I'm going to buy sweets.

The director of the monopoly laughs.

"So... what is the Director of Economic Affairs?

"Ah, here I am.

I would appreciate your opinion on the Rye.

You can do it after the director of the monopoly office.

"Well... I'm a little scared of rye, but...

First of all, the director of the monopoly office, we have the prototype you asked for, so please deliver it.

Takeo takes it out of the backpack and puts it in front of the director of the monopoly.

"Oh, right away.

Um... you also have a list.

The number is... yeah, the same number as the list.

Let's turn it over to the person in charge.

The director of the monopoly nodded and placed the prototype beside him.

"This is the new formulation proposed by the Kitamizato family.

Takeo puts the prototype in front of the monopoly director.

"Eh... did you do that too?

Uh... brass?... it's gold... ah, did you put it on as well?

Is this the knob on the door?

"Hee... you made something interesting.

The director of the monopoly office is holding up the list and the brass door knob, and the director of the economic bureau is looking at it rarely.

"In essence, it is a metal that is easy to refine, decoratively looks good, and is easy to process because it is a soft metal.

"Soft...?

"Yeah, it's freely processed.

With a degree of freedom for the maker, you can respond to various customer requests.

It can also be recovered and melted like iron for reuse.

"Whoa.

I see ~

The director of the economic bureau and the director of the monopoly bureau are listening to Takeo as they look at the door knob.

"Because it looks like gold, it encourages the use of tools.

It's not about the money, but is it for those who want to look a little more glorious?

People want to place something a little different even if they place an order for the same thing.

"Hmm... it's easy to sell to interpersonal shops and government buildings.

"The weight is so light that it can't be compared to gold that it seems like it can be sold to a carriage workshop.

No, even if you hurt yourself, it could spread to household furniture.

How do we spread the problem, Lord Kitamizato?

The director of the monopoly asks.

"... I'll order 100 kg for now.

There is a furniture workshop in the cooperative workshop.

I would like you to introduce me to a craftsman who is good at fine craftsmanship and make products related to door knobs.

If you ask me, I'll send it to you.

Takeo just placed an order.

"Were you planning on placing an order when you made this ingredient... we'll give you a price during your stay.

After that, please officially place an order.

However, in order to reduce the distribution price, we will need a commensurate amount of distribution, but... in order to do so, we need to raise awareness in Japan.

What kind of policy do you think is good?

The director of the monopoly asks.

"Yes... the Director of the Economic Affairs Bureau and the Director of the Monopoly Bureau introduced brass and provided prototypes to all the nobles in Japan. Since it is the first time, we will offer about 10kg at a discounted price... Why not have a reputation meeting in Wang Dynasty in a few months?

"A reputation... um... you need a single title.

What about the subject matter?

"It is a set of doors.

How to decorate the frame and set of doors in the same dimensions as the door there.

Not only the director, but also each association, etc. will participate in the reputation, and confirm the function and design.

You will be motivated to vote and distribute the Excellence Award, the Director of Economic Affairs Award, the Monopoly Director Award, etc.

And... if you open it every year or every two years, it will increase the motivation of the workshop.

"Hmm... the first time is good, but after the second time, there may be people who have stolen it.

Where is it?

"Nothing... I don't think anything.

Although this country is large, it is almost the same culture.

It's only natural that the design should be worn because the idea is the same.

When someone else's work is stolen and they call themselves authentic... does that make sense?

Well, even if you actually stole it, if you get a prize for it, you'll be asked for an equivalent design.

Don't you think it's embarrassing to say, "I sold it, but I can't make it?"

Well... as a countermeasure, just tell them to make multiple identical designs.

There is no future in the workshop just to win the prize.

Such a workshop is abandoned by the people.

Takeo laughed bitterly.

"Indeed.

And the door work... not only brass, but also wood work.

You will know the power of the workshop.

The economic director nodded.
