Helping with Adventurer Party Management

"In addition to the matter of Goulzin, there's one more thing I'd like you to agree with. In fact, I'm thinking of making new shoes, also for the church"

Cutting it out like that, Gilboa immediately seemed to understand.

"You're talking about an example development project."

"That's right. Shoes for the Church's leadership of pioneering projects. Now you know the Church and nobility are beginning to pour money into pioneering"

"Oh. That tangled work is also on the rise. I don't know if I've said this before."

I nodded and kept going.

"The real deal is, beyond that. The Church needs expert guidance as well as funding and manpower to advance the development of the territory"

"That makes sense. Even when amateurs gather together, they are nothing more than a crowd in the Union. Where those people scratched the ground, it's a waste of money and food. But can you teach pioneering business to those self-respecting priests?"

"I made the training and education course for the instructor. I actually coached him. In the future, we should develop a pioneering business leadership team based on its educational curriculum."

When I answered, Jilboa laughed after a long period of inactivity.

"Ha, Kenji, did you even instruct the clergy! That would have been a glimpse. Should I call you a mentor, not just a saint?

"Come on, I'm not kidding"

When I answered bitterly, Jilboa said with a grin.

"I mean, you make shoes on that edge, you sell them."

"That's right. I intend to create a dedicated pair of shoes for the pioneering team. It should be lighter and cheaper to make than a pair of guardian shoes."

But Jilboa pointed out about the price.

"... Hmm. I've never been over it to make it cheap, but the church has money, so I guess it won't sell cheap."

That point is correct, but there is a strategy for this.

"No, for what you can make cheap, it's profitable. I want to use some of that benefit for the sake of the countryside. And promote it through the church. I want to advertise that these shoes are for development and that their benefits will be used for rural areas."

"... don't think about things that have changed a lot. Is that also a form of publicity? But isn't rural salvation the work of lords and churches? Isn't that what adventurers and city dwellers do?

Is it still because Jilboa was not born in rural areas? He's not convinced that Sarah from the countryside is sensibly understandable.

If a major shareholder disagrees with me, I will try to explain it from a different angle because I will be frustrated before the business starts.

"In your time as a mercenary, when someone with a family in your squad died, didn't you collect money in your squad?"

"There it is. The guy who's a mercenary is basically single (alone), but some of them took possession with liquor bartender women and whores who follow them to the battlefield. When he dies, turn your helmet in the squad and put in the silver coin. So, women get paid to go back to the village and raise their children. That's... that's something I can't help but feel sorry for."

"Right. The shoes in the pioneering business mean the same thing. Buying those shoes is the same as collecting money for the countryside. Therefore, wearing those shoes is a statement of attitude that we are cooperating in the pioneering business."

That's it, Jilboa laughed niggardly.

"I see. In organizations as tough as the Church to compete for birth, you have to appeal to your attitudes and contributions around you. Naturally, don't start fighting and buying shoes."

"That's right. And the clergy is rich and numerous. through the church, can also be sold all over the country"

Jilboa made the grin louder and louder.

"Indeed, we are likely to need to make business bigger as soon as possible"

In this way, I was able to attach approval from Jilboa for developing shoes for new products, working with churches, and expanding my business.
