I Shall Survive Using Potions!

Incense had sidelines between waitresses' jobs. Of course, it is approved by management and approved by colleagues.

The job description is "Consultant". Various things like advice and answering questions in consultation with the client. It is open only for a very short period of time after the last order when my job as a waitress is empty.

No, admission to the library is a little expensive, and very, very much so, like buying a book...

So, I tried to make a little money and opened a counselor. Talking to different people might help.

He's giving away 40% of his income because he's going to push his colleagues to do the work in between. Divided by two other waitresses, 20% per person. Still, one silver coin if you hit a customer like Alan this time. It's a non foolish amount for thin pay girls, and I'm pretty happy with it. That's enough to dance 'Divided Dance'.

Reflect on your last failure, I won't sell things for a while. As a smart little girl, you make money with wisdom. I haven't had a problem with my life because it comes with a living meal, and, well, I'm on my way.

Of course, at first no one, such as anyone, tried to talk to incense.

Naturally. Who would want to talk to a girl who looks 11-12 about troubles or beg to teach? The advertising paper that was put on the side of the wall just stares down at the fragrance...

But one time a turning point comes.

You wanted someone to talk to, one old man asked for incense.

Perhaps he just wanted someone to listen to his stupidity, but not only what a fee of five small silver coins… worth about 500 yen… but the man's consultation, who even paid me for a drink, was that 'I'm going to give up my business to my two grandchildren to retire, but I'm in trouble because I'm not convinced that one of them is' unfair 'no matter how I try to divide up multiple businesses'. My son is already dead and I don't want to leave any obsession among my grandchildren...

I thought incense when I heard that.

Yeah, that's easy! I heard that somewhere, that kind of talk.

"Uh, why don't you let one of your grandchildren split it the way you want, as you think you're fair. So, after that, if you let the other grandson choose who he likes first, no one will complain..."

A pompous old man.

My colleague waitresses and other customers who were somewhat listening to Kaoru's first job also stared at Kaoru in surprise.

"" "I see..." "

Subsequently, those who listened to the story and asked questions in half teased, those who really wanted to talk to each other, etc., appeared slightly, and Kaori's side business gradually increased the number of customers. Some of the guests just wanted to have a conversation with incense, but the guests are guests.

The minimum price is five small silver coins. No cap. Depending on the content, the incense may be predetermined, or the customer may decide to teach the incense only for a portion commensurate with the price.

"In the two villages, we are arguing over which is the higher of the mikagi trees in each village. I can't even go climbing and measuring Miyagi... '

"Measure the shadows at the same time"

"Which volume is greater, this statue of a wooden goddess or an iron goddess..."

"Sink in the water and overflow the water..." Why do you want to know that?

"Um, my boyfriend cheated on me..."

"Break up."

In time, a customer named Alan started asking me sometimes. Some kind of fallen aristocrat or the son of a crushed merchant, someone dressed like a hunter, though it feels like it. At first it was an interesting half question, but in time the customer started asking questions and consulting normally with various things. When Mr. Alan, who is well paid and fat, comes, his colleagues Emme and Agate are already thrilled. Dance out the 'split dance' that you two thought about.

And Mr. Alan, what a 'fat day' it seems to be with five silver coins.

Did you put up a good look because you brought friends?

And Charles, son of Mr. Bowman, the merchant who took care of you when you came to Wang Capital, finished your request and went to Mr. Alan's table.

Yeah, Charles, you're going to be a good merchant, aren't you?

"So, what can I do for you?

To Incense's urging, Fabio said in bitterness that he could not immediately come up with the right questions to ask a civilian child.

"Yeah, I wonder what the nobles can do to increase their territorial income..."

Incense that surprised me for a moment with the unexpected question, but I immediately returned the question.

"In what way? Is it a territory where there is agriculture, commerce, or some other industry? Also something short term, something long term..."

Though he had spoken a little, Fabio said as if he was a little wolfish, not expecting the girl to ask him back that way.

"Right, in a very normal territory, something with quick results..."

After a while of thinking, the girl answered.

"Uh-huh, five silver coins is array, but it's an introduction by Alan, the customer, so with great service...

First, lower taxes. Farmers, merchants, all taxes, about 20-30%. "

"What? Lowering taxes would lower tax revenues, though."

Mr. Fell and I pinched our mouths from the side.

"No, if you take taxes up to the threshold, that's just it, right? But if taxes go down, what do you think will happen?

"Tax revenues fall"

Repeat the same thing, Mr. Fell.

"No, if taxes go down and you can afford it, farmers can buy good farm tools with the money they have left, like iron shoots or sickles that cut well?

The efficiency of farming can then be increased to afford time. Firewood from the mountains in that time.

and collecting mountain vegetables and making handicrafts at home to make more and more room for life "

"But then the peasants may be good, but the lord's tax revenues will just have decreased"

Now the penetration from Mr. Fur.

"The story will still go on. Well, the taxes on merchants are down, aren't they? Merchants carrying goods, carry-on taxes when they are in the territory, sales taxes when they sell things, carry-out taxes when they leave the territory, and many times they take taxes, but here, suppose there was a territory where taxes were considerably cheaper than the left-right territory. Which territory would you like to go through, a merchant who passes around and carries goods to the King's Capital?

"" Ah... "

"What if, instead of cutting taxes by 20%, more merchants pass by twice? What if they increase by triple? Conversely, what if taxes were higher than left-right territories? Tax revenues, do you want to increase?

……

"And sales taxes are also low in the territory. Residents have room for life and purchasing power. Let's sell a little here, don't you think, merchant? I don't have to pay the carry-on and carry-out taxes from now on, so I can make a profit on that.

And if I sell it, I can get a vacancy on the carrier. I don't make money from empty loads. Much better than not, even if the margin is less than the product you have carried. Shall I buy something here and go? Oh, there's plenty of handicrafts made by peasants. I don't need to pay less taxes for anything with a low value... "

Aguri......

"Agriculture is off the condition that it's short-term, and, well, is that about it if it's for five silver coins?

"" "Enough..." "

"Hey, what the hell, that kid!

"No matter what, they say... The waitress in the city cafeteria?

………

The three of them who returned to the castle after that were talking about incense.

Until now, even though I thought about "Can't we raise the tax rate more" and "What is the limit of the inhabitants", I never thought about "lowering the tax rate that we can now take and the inhabitants can live with". It was said that to raise tax revenues, it was important to identify where the limits were not exceeded as far as possible, and that it was an excellent lord who could do so. For the rulers only, though.

That young girl laughed lightly.

At that age, that knowledge and wisdom......

Of course, it is a proposal that cannot actually be realized.

Proposed tax cuts that call for merchants. That just attracts profits from neighboring territories, and the total tax revenues for all territories are only reduced by tax breaks. Then profits as a country taking taxes from it fall. In addition, there is no doubt that protests from neighboring lords in the form of usurped profits will come to an end.

However, the minimum conditions given as' short-term results, proposed revenue increases for the territory 'are fully met. The state just doesn't take political considerations or anything into account.

At that age it was a gift until horrible.

"I just realized..."

"What?"

To Fabio's words, Fernan listens back.

"That girl, she said," That's about it if it's five silver coins, "or," Because agriculture is off the condition that it's short-term, "sure."

"Oh."

"So, agriculture, too, what the hell would you talk about if you designated it, or paid for a lot more, like five small gold coins?

"" Eh............ "

"You want it"

"Oh, you want it..."

"Become, you're just a young girl!

"" That's not what I meant!!

Back then, in the dining room, the waitresses were celebrating. With tea.

Anyway, it's a share of one silver coin.

Waitress salaries are cheap in a civilian counterpart's cafeteria where you don't even get chips. The unearned income of one silver coin there. For my colleague waitress, I appreciate it. Much appreciated.

"Huh, even without cheats, it's light!

Incense was on track.

Forget that both modern knowledge and having adult brains in a child's appearance are cheesy enough.
