Amago no Miko

Yonglu 4 years (1561 years) January Izumo Jinmen County Yasuura Village Yasuo Mine

"Hey, it's a cost-effectiveness issue."

I returned safely to Izumo and gathered all the Shigemitsu for a banquet on the New Year.Therefore, the ceremony to be given the official position by Sir Hiroshibashi was also carried out, and the ministers were also able to attach foil safely. Is this a place of peace of mind?

So, it's New Year's Day, so I took my feet to visit the Taisha Shrine.At that point, I came to Mount Tsubagaku.It is also the job of the politicians to look around the territory and check whether the industry in the territory is doing well.

My casting of Eternal Money is also an important financial resource that moisturizes Neko's nose, so it is natural to visit.Well, since Mt. Tsubaki was a neighborhood only a mile north of Kishiki Taisha Shrine, I only chose it for the simple reason that it was convenient for me to visit it.

So, the novelty that I've been hanging from now is a novelty against the silver extraction method, which is commonly known as savage blowing or savage squeezing.It is similar to the ash blowing method communicated by Kamiya, but it is not profitable because it takes an extra step.

Moreover, since the target of blowing is not silver ore but coarse copper, you can guess the silver content, right?

When I inspected and asked questions, I melted crude copper with lead once to make an alloy, and then reheated the alloy to a temperature where the lead melts without the copper melting, separating the lead from the alloy.The separated lead contains silver.

And now we heat that lead on the ashes and take out the silver.But the problem is the silver content in crude copper.

When I heard the amount of silver I could take out of copper, I suddenly felt dizzy and almost held my head.So, it's up to you to pinch your mouth.

"Princess, what is cost-effectiveness?

Aha, haven't you penetrated the concept of cost-effectiveness yet?It's not a private business, it's a bronze mountain under the control of the Neko family, so what do you mean?But it tastes bad.Even now, if we were running this inefficiently,

If this were a private company, it would eventually go bankrupt!It's probably the same as the former Soviet Union and Chinese state-owned companies.Was the old National Railway similar?

In other words, it's no good...

"Is the cost appropriate to melt the copper and take out the silver?In other words, are you able to take out silver more than the cost of fuel, lead, ashes, artisan labor, and all that?That's what I mean. "

Hmm, I didn't think about that.

Well, if you build my mint money on a large scale next door, maybe you won't be able to come up with a concept of cost.Does this mean that the trick of failing to thoroughly educate has been spinning?

I have only one body, so naturally, I can't see all the trouble by myself, and maybe I can't help it.However, there is an urgent need to train young officials who have been educated as soon as possible.

"Assuming that one thousandth of the silver from rough copper is one centimeter, is one centimeter?Assuming we can take out all the silver, could the essence only cover the amount of coal, lead, and ash used?

"I see...."

This means that only the artisan's artificial wages are in deficit.In this case, I think it would be better to use copper without extracting silver, right?Well, if it remains crude copper, there is also the problem of the outflow of silver contained in crude copper overseas, but still, it is not profitable.

I think it's also a problem to keep extracting silver for you.Lead is mostly reusable, and ashes can be reused to some extent, but it is still in deficit.

There are eight artisans working on extracting this silver.On average, the daily allowance per craftsman is 50 won, for a total of 400 won per pair.The amount of silver that can be extracted per day is approximately 20 yen, 75 g per pair.This is about 2,000 sentences in bronze.

What, if the labor costs are 20%, you can afford to make a profit?It's no wonder you think so.But it's sweet!Because the amount of coal you need to melt this copper and lead in high heat doesn't make you stupid.Well, I'm setting a higher price for coal!

However, the coal mine in Takakuro's indoor village is also owned by Niko, so it doesn't matter if you look at the profitability.What a whisper the devil inside me whispers.

Hmm... what do I do?

If you only think about the immediate situation, you will fall into a narrow field of view, so why don't you think about it as if you were looking over the whole thing?First, let's look at this whole mountain and think about things.

Here, I am producing 40 pennies per day for 40,000 pennies.Five pennies is 100 sentences for 20,000 sheets.I cast 42,000 pennies a year as 300 days a year.Copper coins are also made by mixing zinc, but by simple calculation, using 67.5 tons of copper a year

You can see he's here, right?There are three silver extraction teams, so copper 75kg silver 75g × 3 sets × 300 days = 67.5kg.In other words, it is calculated that you can take out 18 pieces of silver from copper in a year.Speaking of bronze coins, is it 1800 pieces of silver?I'm wondering if this is more or less.

Is it about 0.5 to 0.6% of Neko's share in Sama's silver mountain?Hmm... the annual labor cost of the silver extraction team is 50 sentences × 24 people × 300 days = 360 sentences.If it's this amount, I've been looking at the profitability and wondering if I can wear it.

Assuming you can extract silver at the same pace, 675 kg in 10 years, 6.75 tons in 100 years.Yeah, it feels great considering the six-ton silver spill.It is also 6 tons in Mt. Tsubaki alone.There are a lot of other copper mountains in Japan, so if you don't do anything like this, it's going to be dozens of times

We may have to assume a silver spill.Anyway, the payment of wages to craftsmen is as much my casting money as it is for free, so I think it would be better to prevent silver leakage abroad, even if we look at profitability here.

Even if we look at profitability externally, as long as we are turning the money accounts in Neko territory, the wallet is the same, so after all, I also feel like Plummy Zero!

Hmm. Shall we call this the Tamahime-style Domestic Demand Economic Policy?

"But there's also a saying that if there's a pile of dust, it becomes a mountain."

"So...?

"Yes, please make sure you keep taking silver out of the tunnel."

"Yes, I understand!

Hmm. Somehow, did you succeed in fixing the prologue of cost-effectiveness?Even in my previous life, excuses and deception were my area of expertise!Well, I am aware that it is not a very complimentary act.Yeah, for now.

But, you know, humans sometimes have to make up their minds.Because it's the wisdom for people to live.

Ke, Ke, I'm not blurring mistakes.Don't say that!

Gurrrrrrrrrrr

Still, 300 working days a year... in the future, it's the worst company I've ever been called a super black company.However, during the Sengoku period, there were no labor laws, labor unions or labor standards inspectorates.In other words,

I'm the judge, I'm the prosecutor, and I'm the law!

Hmm. I wonder if this is the flavor of the feudal lord's dictatorship.Without such privileges, you can't do a warring country name.Cheeks. Cheeks.

Lawyer? I don't know that kind of profession.
