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

"We will hold a meeting with the Bureau of Economic Affairs and the Monopoly Bureau in the near future to inform you of the results.

"You're waiting for a quote.

I don't think I'll ask a lot later.

I want to sell it to the demon kingdom.

"Hmm?

Two people look at Takeo.

"What is it?

"Well... Lord Kitamizato, are you going to be exported to the Devil Kingdoms?

The director of the economic bureau asks with a little surprise.

"Yes, I don't want to tell you the formula, but you can't sell steel, right?

I don't remember being told.

"Well... no.

Why are you here?

The director of the monopoly tells me.

"The Kitamizats are contracting exports to the Demon Kingdom from the Elvis family.

I think we might be able to sell design steel there.

Moreover, we may be able to establish a sales channel where steel from the other side can be obtained.

Isn't it strange that this country doesn't have steel over there?

There may also be dwarfs in Devil's Landing.

I wouldn't be surprised if you looked at brass and introduced me to a more interesting alloy in return.

"... Mr Kitamizato, we will prepare some brass for export.

Please get that information.

The monopoly director's eyes are serious.

"Well, that's going to be solemn.

"I didn't know that Japan could export steel... alloys seem to help secure foreign currency.

I didn't even think about it because it was just imported.

The director of the economic bureau said impressively.

"Well, there might be brass over there.

And even if it's on the other side, if it's cheaper with shipping charges than here, there's a way to import materials and export processed goods.

I think it will be competitive by making products that are not available in other countries as much as possible and how cheap they can be prepared.

Whether it's grain or industrial goods in the Catalan Empire or the Willip Union, the basics of commerce are to make things cheap and sell them with added value.

"Salt and pipes also produce raw materials and are refined and sold for each territory.

That's what we think most people think.

The director of the monopoly thinks about Takeo's words.

"So is the Worcester sauce made by His Highness Cliff and His Highness Kitamizato.

"Worcester sauce.

Director of Economics, have you heard anything about His Highness Cliff?

"Hmm... I'm a little worried about the lack of vegetables, and I don't think I've been told... things are going well overall.

Ah, and there was a request from the Catalan Empire to export Worcestershire sauce, which had never been imported or exported before.

You know, the director of monopoly.

"Yes, we heard the story, so we instead asked if we could import steel in small quantities from the Catalan Empire.

As it stands, it's only from the Dwarf Kingdom.

If something happens, it will be difficult to supply.

The director of the monopoly tells me.

"I've always wondered, does the Dwarf kingdom have such a reserve?

I have heard that it has been imported for a long time.

"The reserves have not been confirmed, but the quantity supplied has remained unchanged and the price has remained almost unchanged.

I do not think it is a problem to think that there are still reserves when we think about prices and distribution.

Well, rumors have it that there are tunnels all over the northern mountains.

We also go to negotiate once every few years, but they haven't shown us inside.

There is a VIP lounge or reception room just outside the cave, and that's it.

"Will the director of the monopoly go?

"The officer in charge is on his way to determine the quantity with the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

I only went when I was young, didn't I?

However... if you think about the future, is it possible that the price will be higher?

"I wonder if it is necessary to confirm whether small quantities can be imported from the demon kingdom just considering the supply.

"I see...

Yes, Mr. Kitamizato, for now, there are rare metals, but may I ask you to confirm that you can import materials for regular iron, copper, gold, silver and other currencies?

"I see.

Well, I won't be in a hurry, so I'll ask you to come back.

"Yeah, well, we're at war, so if anything happens, we might be able to stop the supply.

The Katlanda Empire, too, but I hope we can negotiate a small supply first.

"I see.

Speaking of which, Director of Economics, what do you call rye?

"Yes, I don't think it's the right thing to ask the Kitamizatos, but can you increase the production of rye in Count Elvis territory?

"Hmm... I have to ask Count Elvis the truth, but at least this year's planting will be boosted by the production of Walt Whisky and barley tea and exports to other territories.

Incidentally, Walt Whisky is determined to increase production.

"Sure... it was a new kind of liquor made from rye.

It's not in my mouth yet, but His Majesty and I are shouting, "I want it."

I wonder if it's quite delicious.

Is that right? You have a tendency to increase production.

"Is there not enough production?

"No... I asked His Highness Amy, who was in the royal castle in the morning, that there was a plan for a recipe book, so I was thinking of including how to make barley tea.

Children are an important treasure for the future.

I would also like to add drinks and food that are good for the health of pregnant women.

I'd like to have a big deal with the Bureau of Economic Affairs for a few years... or maybe a few decades.

May I express the idea that you want me to make a commitment to buy a constant... "

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

"It's one hand, too.

It's made in the Catalan Empire and the aristocratic territories around King's Landing, right?

"I'm making it... but obtaining it... frankly, I'm skeptical about barley tea, and I'm reluctant to increase production.

Although Lord Cliff and Lord Neal have reported wholesaling, the Earl of Elvis is the only one with a policy of actively wholesaling large quantities in other territories.

The director of the economic bureau said bitterly.
