Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"... I did and I congratulate you. That's it for today."

Closing the book that was open and proclaiming it to everyone, the children gave a disgruntled look.

"Er more!

"Next, read this picture book"

Oh, it heals. I'm sure you have a crumbling look on my face right now, one that I can't stand to see.

As I was told, I enjoyed the urge to read it to you.

"I'm sorry. I have to go home today. Forgive me if I come again."

"Er..."

"When will you come?

I would love to hear the voice of a lonely child all the time...

"I don't know one day, but I'm coming. I promise."

"Okay, okay."

"... Also, next time you come, read the picture book"

"Yeah, sure."

I said goodbye to the kids, greeted Dr. Mina, and then left the hospital.

... Ha, I don't want to go home.

I've been seriously thinking about working in an orphanage lately when I retire in the future......

Marriage... was broken by the royal family. It's not what I wanted, and my dreams of marriage have broken down in me.

All of a sudden it will be time for me to leave the Chamber of Commerce and the consular government. When the time comes, this is how I want to live secluded while surrounded by my children… is what I think.

Really, it heals.... I've never really raised a child, so I'm sure there will be a lot going on... but there are times when my heart feels cold, like now.

Interests, rushes… Of course, the Chamber of Commerce, especially the consular government, is always accompanied by such things. Interaction with the country and other territories is most nervous. I'm not a saint prince, and I don't want to do anything I can't protect important things with my eyes on anything else, so sometimes if I have to cut something off, I'll ghost my heart out and cut it off, and I think I have to use whatever is available.

Because I have to protect my territory and all the people who live there, as well as my dear parents and grandparents and the fellows who work with me.

But I'm tired, too. My mind, not my body. It said in some book… that a king is always lonely.

Though I am not a king, if my final decision changes the future of many… in any way, the blame is mine.

If you think about that, it's still heavy, isn't it?

Even though I've decided to take it on myself, and I can do what I do... eventually I'll be old too, so sooner or later the right person will take over after me than it's impossible to go on forever.

When the time comes, we'll be surrounded by children and live in peace... oh, my God, are you feeling fast?

Well, you have to work now to get such a peaceful future.

It has been six months since your grandfather left the territory of the Duke of Armenia. Bern and the Second Prince have successfully graduated from school, and Bern is currently studying clerical duties with his father. The other surroundings are also in training at their respective parents. Mr. Ed also said that he was studying clerkship in the castle. I have not yet been formally married to Master Yuri. I don't even have an announcement yet as to when, but I guess they will soon.

Well, when I get home, I'll be right back in the study. First we look at the contents of the Chamber of Commerce, then we go to the consular government.

"Lady, welcome home"

At that time, it was Dean who came in, and since he fell down once, he stopped going out when me and Dean were together, even if he could afford the job. Make each of your holidays a different day, so that if one of you is, you can handle whatever happens.

"I'm home, Dean. Quick, but please report it."

"Yes.... Again, more imports and exports are being made as a result of tariff easing. Each of these chambers seems to be profitable."

Since then, it has enforced tariff easing and a switch from head tax to income tax. Although the introductory period showed some confusion, it is fitting in little by little.

Now, if you take another look at the territory of the Duke of Armenia, the territory of the Duke of Armenia is a longitudinally elongated territory located southeast of the Wang capital. The climate is everlasting… some south is subtropical. The east faces the sea and also has several ports.

I think the Duke of Armenia is in a privileged position. The climate is warm, and there's a port town. The fact that it is next door between other countries and the sea is a risk, given the time of the war, but so far the profits are greater. Besides, if this is the northwest of the Wang capital, it's next door to the famous Twile country in the Battle of Twile, so it's extraordinarily good compared to that.

Turning back, there is a port town on our territory, and as such, there seems to have been more trade there than before. When it came to the status of Lords' Agent, I went to inspect it because of the high tax revenues in the east, but that was a major reason because there was a port town.

Trade with other countries has also increased further due to the easing of tariffs. Previous tariffs depended on both the time when goods were to be served and the time when goods were to be put in, and not only when they crossed countries and territories, but also from cities within the same territory. Repeal the tariff at the time of export and enforce a reduction in the rate of duty at the time of import. Tax rates will continue to be reviewed according to the circumstances of each time depending on the commodity item.

The amount of imports and exports is increasing both in other territories and in other countries, as a result of the reduction of tariffs.

The Chamber of Commerce is also dealing with more products and more profits, and the income tax of the next Chamber of Commerce… I made it the name Chamber of Commerce tax because it is separate from the individual… but I am also looking forward to it.

… Once again, the Azzuta Chamber of Commerce has also started selling outside the country, increasing it slightly.

Well, I discovered something interesting with more circulation. That's silk.

In the original world, silk did appear to have come into Europe during the Roman period and from there to be familiar to the upper classes… for some reason, silk had not yet come to this world and this country. Mostly hemp and hair woven fabrics, then cotton. I thought it was funny how cotton circulated first, but then I wondered if silk wasn't what it was… I wondered if I had increased my trade volume and discovered it more recently.

It's all from silkworm farming, and I want to make Armenian territory a region… well, even if you know what silk is made of, you honestly don't know how it's made, so you're going to need a long span. So sooner or later, let your tax revenues settle and then put you under territorial asylum for trial and error.
