Let's Manage The Tower

The city of Kennelsen is an agricultural town surrounded by fertile land.

Much of the produce produced here is exported and distributed throughout the continent.

In the first place, it is very difficult to secure land because of the large number of monsters in the Central Continent.

As a result, most cities rely on imports for cereals and the like.

Kennelsen is responsible for the production of the grain.

In that sense, it could be said that Kennelsen's agricultural zone is taking full advantage of the food situation in the Central continent.

Of course, there are other foods besides cereals, and there is no doubt that the Central Continent will fail as soon as Kennelsen is crushed in order to be able to produce meat from monsters, but it is still quite important.

Given that most of the grain in the four major cities of the Central Continent depends on imports from other continents by sea from Kennelsen, you can see how important it is.

For the record, Mixen, on the opposite side of Kennelsen, is not likely to soar because grain is being offered instead of cash as a donation.

The merchants buy the grain stored in the church and pay the same price as in other cities.

The neighboring towns have not benefited, and the grain has not risen.

Kennelsen's reputation as a food bank in the Central Continent.

It was the Kennelsen people who realized that the evaluation was about to change.

"This is... this is what you did."

Looking at the documents he had, Hulik murmured.

The paperwork contains the most up-to-date food trading information.

For Kennelsen, grain trading information can be described as the life of the town, so grain trading is strictly controlled.

Therefore, relatively accurate information can be obtained.

I saw the information on the paperwork and my men informed me as soon as possible.

But of course it didn't mean good, it meant bad.

"... you want to have a Six Houses meeting right away. The sooner the better."

That's what Hulik told the men who brought the documents, and Hulik turned his attention to the documents to scrutinize the information further.

The Royal Family is responsible for Kennelsen's economy and politics.

The original decision was made because there were six representatives of those who pioneered Kennelsen.

Due to the complete separation of the products, there is hardly any dispute in the existence of the Roku.

Rather, there have been disputes over covering products in the past, but at that time it was about to be interfered with from the outside, and since then it is strictly forbidden to cover products between the six Houses.

Of course, new crops have emerged for a long time, but adjustments in the name of discussion determine where to produce them.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that what was decided at the Six Houses of Parliament determines Kennelsen's future.

The six-week meeting was called by Foulik.

"I'm sorry to have you here because you must be busy."

Hulik, who doesn't look sorry at all, said so.

It has been an arrangement for a long time that the person who convened the Six Houses Conference in case of emergency chaired the conference rather than holding it from the beginning.

However, in urgent cases, there is no obligation to participate in particular.

It was possible to be absent at each decision.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for a meeting to be held in a missing number of people. I mean, there's hardly anyone in there.

But this time, everyone is here.

That's why Hulik held the meeting, which is a serious matter for everyone.

"... everyone is here. I guess that's the answer."

One of the Six Houses said so.

The other Houses also nodded.

I see. It's quick and helpful. "

With regard to cereal and other products, the Six Houses are full of people with a sharp sense of smell.

This may also be one of the reasons why we have dominated Kennelsen for so many years.

"Well, don't let me see this stuff.... so everyone's finished sorting out the information, right?

"Of course."

That was the only woman in the Six Houses.

Even though it is the only one, it happens that there is only one woman now, and in the past, all six Houses of worship were women.

The Rokuho himself has been chosen at home, but it is not that he will be the eldest son, but that he will become completely powerful.

Well, as long as I'm not born in that house, I can't be a Six Houses.

"As far as I'm concerned, I told you when I visited the event. After that, we scrutinized it, but there was no big difference."

"We're in a similar situation."

And mine too.

After Hulik's words, others nodded one after the other.

"... I see. You were completely sniped. Whether it's intentional or just coincidence is a delicate matter."

"Schmidt over there said he was a peddler. I think your connection was strong originally."

What they're having trouble with now is the grain that the Crown Commercial Division of the Amamiya Tower is buying from Kennelsen.

Normally, Kennelsen would be happy because exports would increase.

But there were simply circumstances that were not pleasant.

Approximately 10% of the current crop volume was bought by the Crown.

There is no particular problem if that is all. No, that's a lot of money, but the deal itself is good for Kennelsen, so it's not a problem.

What was at stake was the contents.

Most of them were deals through individual producers and individual chambers of commerce.

Of course, we buy from places under the control of the Six Houses, but that was a small amount.

When Schmidt was a peddler in the first place, it had already been investigated that he was buying from Kennelsen.

We also know that the other party was passing through the individual producers and individual chambers of commerce.

This could be taken for granted because a merchant seldom makes purchases from a major trade association.

But this time it became a vendetta.

The Crown is now too big to be a single chamber of commerce from the perspective of its surroundings.

It was only natural in a sense that we were taking on almost one small town of commerce.

The transactions carried out by the Crown, which owns almost all of the town's commerce, are naturally enormous.

I know that, too, because it accounts for 10% of Kennelsen's transactions.

The problem is that individual producers and individual chambers of commerce are doing business.

In short, it meant that you could pull it out at any time.

It's like the Crown Adventurers Division went to the Adventurers.

"Is that still a problem?

One of the Six Houses said so, but it was to confirm, and it turned out to be a common perception among all of us here.

"But how do we stop the spill?

It is the individual producers that the Crown has seized who are the problem for the Six Houses.

An early conversation could lead producers into the tower, and if they were to produce in the tower, Kennelsen's advantage would be lost.

There is no such thing as being able to produce in a tower, and there is no such thing as falsehood.

I've been doing a few inspections and I know it's an environment that's easy to produce from the level of monsters.

Based on the experience to date, the Six Houses know very well what happens if individual producers produce with that technology.

And it was nothing but a threat to Kennelsen.

"The spill... won't stop. I'm more afraid of recoil when I stop."

Everyone sighed at the conclusion of one person.

Because everyone had no choice but to agree to the words.

Coincidence or inevitability. The meeting of those who were aware that the Crown's commercial activities were shaking the town of Kennelsen continued.
