Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)
Chapter 148: Theodoram 3. The Royal Castle of Theodoram (Part 3)
I have just finished talking about the military secretary, and now treasurer Fabik has advanced. I'll give you one cough and report on the problems that have come up from the Treasury Department. That said, the content itself was extremely simple.
- Says I don't have any money.
"… and it depends that our country's budget is in an extremely dangerous state. At the very least, we need to avoid unnecessary and imminent expenses until we can secure the recast gains and, more specifically, until the old currency has been recovered and the gold included in the exchange with the new currency."
In front of the treasurer, who demands in a resolute tone, the other secretaries of state cannot hide the expression of confusion. It is true that unexpected expenses continue these days, but those expenses are not what we wanted. If you're complaining, I'd like you to tell the dungeon master who built the dungeon to a troublesome place and the neighboring country who is reluctantly hanging around our country.
"Even if a shady dungeon master and a naughty neighbor come forward, I don't want you to deal with them."
"Even if the security of our country is threatened?
"Our security is already threatened - in the form of an economic crisis."
The Secretary of State revisits his perception that this seems to be a rather awkward (first) situation when he sees the treasurer in a painful manner.
"Hmm... I can't make an appointment, but let's keep Sir Fabik's words in mind"
"I would have liked to have made a commitment if I could."
"So... as treasurer, what means do you intend to use for the moment?
In reply to Secretary Merca's inquiry, the Treasurer answers the question with gravity.
"I'm going to start by matching the construction of a fort that's going on in Shrek"
"What?"
It was Secretary Lembach who peeled his eyes off the dialogue.
"The fort, which is already based, is complete. And you're gonna come here and tell me you're gonna pull your hand?
"The fort, which is already based, is complete. If so, there is no need to rush any further increases."
The treasurer hasn't lost either.
"I'm not saying anything will be permanently discontinued. I'm just saying we'll match the construction of the box until the recast gains are secured. The troops currently deployed in Shrek alone should be able to respond immediately to the Morvanian invasion."
"That's right..."
He was a military secretary who didn't even try to hide the color of his dissatisfaction, but he gave up on the treasurer's attitude that he just said he couldn't shake a sleeveless and had no island to mount it, and he didn't defend himself any further.
"Have the planned surveys and construction on the central street also shelved once. I repeat, we cannot afford it financially."
Plans to build a defensive base on the central street in preparation for Illustria's development also do not seem to have a budget coming down, at least for the new fiscal year.
Others have cut back on this and the budget, but they intend to implement it as is for those that do not require a large budget. For example, reconnaissance for Illustria to explore the base under construction.
"If we stop everything, we won't be able to react immediately to sudden events. When it comes to reconnaissance and other things, we're going to make sure we get as much budget as possible."
When the explanation - or rejection of the draft budget - on the amending budget is complete as a whole, Commercial Secretary Mandique throws the question.
"Until now, the explanation seems to have ended in tightening up the revenue, but has it not been considered in the direction of increasing revenue?
The treasurer snorted at the words with a look of getting my will.
"I also think about it at first. However, this is not the only decision that can be made by Treasury."
"Hmm? Let me hear you say Treasury's abdominal proposal."
"Mm-hmm. I'd like to hear Sir Laxman's opinion on this..."
Yes, in advance, the treasurer suggested...
"Reduced sugar prices?
"Wheat in some cases."
The idea was to motivate consumers to buy by lowering the unit price of sales.
"... to counter the sugar that the suburbans sell cheaply?
"I'm thinking about that, too. With a 10% 20% drop from the current sales value, the profit should be sufficient. I've just lowered the unit price, and if the sales volume increases, I can make it up to you. I would ask Sir Laxman and Sir Mandique to consider whether this proposal will work"
"" Hmm... "
They were two in the form requested by the nominee, but after a lot of thought, they snorted. The proposals brought forward by the treasurer are not such that they can be immediately discontinued on this occasion. We need to take it back and let it be considered, and that's all it's worth.
"I found out about sugar. But where did that wheat come from?
"Because of the beer and the blow, the consumption of ale would hit the head anyway, wouldn't it? I was just wondering if I could sell what I was turning to Yale for."
"As far as I can... I understand"
