Helping with Adventurer Party Management

"That could be a problem, but what kind of problem is it for the deputy?

Claudio asks me what my intentions are.

The price of wheat goes down. Nobility is in trouble. How does that matter to us?

In the first place, if wheat is abundant, price drops are like a natural phenomenon.

Can an individual intervene in such a situation?

"I told you about my former adventurer, didn't I?"

Make sure it sounds like Abel and Craig too.

"I want the nobles' territorial development fever to continue for a while now. Because that's one way to improve the lives of adventurers. Therefore, it is difficult for the aristocrats who work on territorial development to lose money."

Regardless of Claudio, it seems to the two waterwheel engineers that the nobility is too big to come by or what happened to the adventurer.

"Ha..." only returns a confused voice that it's "Hmm..."

Again, get back to the premise and explain step by step.

"When your income drops, you have trouble ruling your territory."

"That's right." "Uh-huh."

"I hear that many aristocrats are even raising money from churches and big merchants for land development. If the price of wheat drops just a little, there must be a lot of territory to hit."

"Maybe." "Uh-huh."

"So why not flour it and sell it, as it will be cheaper as wheat? And you take it. Because they sell wheat more expensively than they sell wheat as it is processed."

"But flour is a high price product. Even if you produce large quantities, there are only a few people who can buy them."

Claudio will ask you some questions to confirm our intentions.

Of course, to make two technicians listen.

"So you make it cheaper. Have it carried by riverboat and run a large quantity of water wheels to process certain quality wheat cheaply into flour. As a result, the price of flour drops significantly. If it's quality flour, many people will want to buy it"

"That's... but aren't you complaining from other lords?

Abel asks questions with concern about other aristocratic crossspears.

In fact, when you say you're talking about all this, the place is one of the city's workshops, and the man in front of you is just a former adventurer out of the civilian population.

It would rather be natural to have the feeling that you are okay with imitating the struggle of the nobles.

"You won't be welcome from those who deal with some flour. But it should be welcomed by a large number of lords who have difficulty cashing in wheat. Anyway, it compensates for the diminishing income from lower prices."

I understand Abel's concerns, but this story is one in which a large number of people gain directly.

From the aristocrats, they are stepping in the direction of keeping an eye on the business once and for all rather than attacking and crushing.

This time, there is also a proper back (back).

"Besides, this time the territory is the direct jurisdiction of the Church, because that priest Nicolo is the lord. I'm just a deputy. Because it's my job to keep the territory for a few years and give it to the next person with more assets."

"Does the distribution of flour make the relationship with the guilds of each city problematic"

Claudio will check.

"Right. In that case, it will be circulated in the church. However, for a while it will only do the job of milling the wheat brought into the flour, so it doesn't seem particularly problematic."

We do not step into the interests of other lords. Just run your business in your own territory.

There, wheat happens to be brought in from other territories, it doesn't break its shape.

In the future, there may be more competition between large mills and talk about wanting them to do distribution as well, but now I concentrate solely on getting the mill industry interested, so it's the best I can do, and if the world is so mature and rich, I can safely buy a farm and retire.
