Helping with Adventurer Party Management

How did you explain how business turned to Sarah?

Talk about the concept while thinking about a little detail.

"How much do you think it would cost to have an information booklet on adventurer requests in all the churches in the kingdom?

"Uh, won't the church let that out?

"You may or may not let me out. I can't tell you how profitable it is for the Church without comparing it to the costs involved."

"'Cause it's not good for the countryside or for adventurers?

"Right. So I think it would be better if we could prove that we have a profit on it."

"Hmm..."

Sarah doesn't seem convinced, but urges us to think about it together.

"Let's just think about it"

"Hey. Because I never thought about making a book..."

Indeed, there can be no experience in thinking about making booklets for Sarah, a former peasant.

That's the same for me. I've never made a booklet in this world.

However, I can't make a decision in the first place if I don't get a clue as to the numbers, even if they're different from the reality.

First, I will try to give the specifications that I request specifically to my mouth.

If this image is different, later misunderstandings will arise.

"For example, I think we'll put a booklet in the countryside with a list of the costs of asking adventurers. So this is going to be a simple booklet with a parchment with examples of requests and amounts. About ten pages for five parchments? Can we get this far?

"Right. But even if you read it to the priest of the church, many adventurers can't read the letters, so I think it's better to have a diagram or a picture."

With this, the specification of a booklet containing about 10 pages of parchment paper in the painting was provisionally determined.

And then we'll consider how to manufacture it.

"Right. So, you can't print parchment...?

"Printing what?

Shit. Was printing technology underdeveloped in this world?

Perhaps it's popular in nobles and churches just because I don't know.

Besides, there is the germination of technology itself, so I can explain it.

"Printing means pressing a sentence with ink on parchment paper so that it presses a baking mark. Have you seen it?

"Hmm... something like a nobleman putting a house mark or something in a wax?

"Yes, I've never seen it before."

"Neither do I.... How do you know Kenji, when you've never seen him?

Sarah has a tough scratch.

I'm just not going to even get my hands on printing technology because I have a shoe business.

If we can get our hands on you in earnest, we could turn the church against our enemies.

If you turn the church against the enemy, they'll kill you.

"I used to look into it. But then all the letters and stuff, it's handwritten. How much a day do you get for someone who can write a handwritten sentence?

So when I gently shed light on the topic of printing and went on to talk about budget estimates, Sarah seemed to move on to the next topic without pursuing it in depth.

"Hmm. Could I have three copper coins? There are so few people who can write beautiful words."

Apart from the literacy rate, I understand the fact that few people wear beautiful letters.

In a world where parchment and ink are precious in the first place, it is not easy to access the civilian population because the practice of words is in itself a luxurious and golden act, and beautiful examples of letters and texts are aristocratic personal documents, etc.

And the letter has not only the beauty of the letters, but there are also mountains of things to remember, such as greeting stereotypes and the use of salutations in the names of individuals. That many educated human beings are rare, and many are in the profession of documents at the hands of large merchants and aristocrats.

"I wonder how long it would take to photograph a ten-page booklet, if I could ask someone like that"

"Hey. The first document, as someone else would write it. It'll take you five days in a row to get it done between jobs."

And if you ask someone who has a job, it takes time because it's a side job.

"So how much does it cost?

"Hmm... nine copper coins for rent, two for profit, one for being seen at foot, maybe about twelve?

"So, adding to the cost of parchment and putting the cover on with a plate or leather, about fifteen sheets?

"It's going to be about that."

The figure of 15 copper coins in five days for the production of one book was.

The unit price was, so to what extent do you manufacture it? It is necessary to estimate the overall number.

"How many churches do you think there are?

"I don't know, but as many of the Cardinals made shoes, it's around here, isn't it? So it looks like it could be about 300."

"In the whole kingdom, I wonder how much there is"

"I never even thought about it... like 2,000 or something."

"Then the cost is all, 30,000 copper coins. I thought about the cost of distributing 40,000 copper coins."

"Uh, fix it to silver, 400 sheets. Like it's big, like it's not."

"Not that it's very expensive. If it's profitable, I feel like I can go far enough."

"The problem is time, right? Five days for 2,000 copies, 10,000 days... That's a little too long."

In total, there were 400 silver coins and 10,000 days.

What we know from this is that it is not the cost but the time that is at issue, and it cannot be carried out in a normal way.
