Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 190: I'm just going to see how it goes, but I'm going to stay longer.
Having resigned from the royal castle, we headed to Mr. Tonerico's chamber of commerce with that foot to sell Feilong material, and then when we bought the soap and shampoo ingredients, we left the king's capital and headed straight for Bordersetz.
Mr. Tonerico has offered to handle my soap and shampoo, but you can't sell it because you have a contract with a commercial guild. I'm sorry.
The story of me being the producer of soap and shampoo seems to have already been known to the kingdom economy. Well, I didn't hide anything, but I'm surprised the information spreads faster than I thought. The transmission of information in this world should be slow, because of the depth of human greed, or strangely quick if it's money entanglement. We need to be careful with information management.
Feilong material sold at a good price. Especially since the skin of the Fei Long I hunted was highly regarded and the beauty with few scratches, they bought it for five large gold coins. They strip it and sell it to the nobles. Someone said that when we hunted, but is everything we think the same?
Bones, on the other hand, appear to be in no demand, and it was decided to be Woo's snack. But it doesn't look sunny, so maybe I should dry it through the fire once. You want some soup? Fei Long Gala without Chicken Gala...... Sounds delicious. Looks like it would be nice to freeze dry and make it mobile food. I might upgrade my journey meal if I can make it well. Mmm, don't let your dreams swell!
I wonder why you made money there because the sale of Feilong materials turned out to be eleven large gold coins? You get fine meat, too, and in a double sense, flying dragons are a delicious prey. Let's continue to hunt to such an extent that ecosystems are unaffected.
By the way, I don't sell meat and demon stones. This is all I have if I sell it, but the meat is a souvenir to my parents' house and the village of Dungeon, and the Demon Stone has a little something to think about and I decided to keep it with me.
On the road (even though I'm flying), I told everyone about the reward for this job and the ascension. I don't talk about details. Results only. There's a mix of information that the kids don't have to know.
"Well! Congratulations on that! You're the baron that was your goal early! That's Mr. Beat!
"Oh, you have to celebrate when you get back to Dorton"
"The bounty... I didn't act out of place, and, well, do this. I guess the apology for that is the deputy."
"Right. I haven't decided on a term of office."
"I see! Awesome, that's right, sir, it is!
"Uh-huh? What do you mean?
"… want an explanation"
"Agreed"
"(Kokukoku)"
Except for some of Satsuko, he didn't seem to understand what it meant to be a reward for his tenure as an officer-in-charge. Well, it's not beautiful, it's about the adult world. But, Anya, I don't know if you're an adult.
Unexpectedly, even though it's a children's group, Basil seems to understand it. You must be geologically smart. Another step forward to Deacon Perfect Moffmoff.
A grand aristocrat with vast territory appoints him to rule a hard-to-see region, or as a proxy when he leaves the territory for a long time, that's the deputy. In my case, it's not a lord, it's a king's appointment, but the duties and job descriptions remain almost unchanged.
Naturally, that authority is as great as it is equivalent to that of a lord. In emergency situations, they even have the right to take policy decisions and military action at their own discretion. Because this world lacks the means of communication, things can happen that would be too late if we waited long for the Lord's judgment. I can even change tax rates and introduce new taxes.
It is considered a great honor to be appointed to it because it is such a high office. Appointment as deputy of the great nobility is also proof that he is credited among ministers with competence and loyalty. Even if the title was the lowest associate baron, if he were also a deputy in the Crown's direct jurisdiction, he would be authoritative enough to receive the same treatment as a Viscount during his tenure. Only in office, though.
On the other hand, it is common that the term of office is limited to a period of four years, etc. I'm sure it's an honor, but I won't and can't give you excessive courtesy.
In the case of the deputies of the great nobility, heavy use of all the same creates discord among the factions in the household. If you don't turn it moderately, a faction dissatisfied with not being left to the deputy becomes defiant. Worst of all, it could mean moving away and moving to another realm. That makes it a very big problem because it means that the nobility of other territories will know about the information of their own territories, and even involves the nobility's mentions. Would it be easy to understand when you say 'something like a faction separated from the ruling party joining the opposition'? No, don't people in this world get it?
It is common for deputies to have a turnover system. The more tax revenues you get from your territory, the more money you get into your nostalgia. Being truly hardworking in the direction of improving the status quo leads to high earnings - a 'regular' reward.
"Does' regular 'mean there's some unorthodox reward, boy?
"Exactly. I have a side job, or a post tenure income."
It was forbidden in Japan for public officials to have side jobs, but not separately in the Kingdom. I mean, deputies can open shops, too.
What this means is that political and financial healing can be carried out legally.
For example, suppose a deputy has set up a chamber of commerce. It doesn't have to be him or his fellow countrymen in the faction. and monopolize the suppliers to the public authorities in the territory under their own authority to their chambers of commerce. At this time, it is not necessary to make delivery particularly expensive. Normally profitable enough. That way, there is nothing to blame on the Lords because on the books the vendors just change and the expenses don't increase. But in fact, they have a monopoly on public transactions, and even if left alone, the assets of deputies or factions increase. No one can punish me because I have no antitrust laws or a public relations commission. Instead, this would be revenue only during his tenure, as the deputy would be replaced by another vendor if he replaced him with someone from a hostile faction.
There are other ways to bite your chamber of commerce into the land you pioneered during your tenure and the industries you were interested in, and gain exclusive profits. The deputy's nostalgia does not hurt at all, as it is the lord's gold that is used to pioneer and promote industry. If you bite your chamber of commerce there with deputy authority, you can monopolize profits without investment. Besides, as long as there's that industry and pioneering ground, it's continually profitable to stop deputizing. In addition, if pioneering and industrial development succeed and taxes increase, there is a bonus that regular rewards, which are turnover systems, are also raised to make double money. I have no reason not to.
In this way, the position of deputy, who not only earns honor but also profits, is a delicious reward.
"Huh, that sounds kind of like a different world story. I can't imagine."
"Politics and economics are inseparable. You'll see when you grow up."
"He's still supposed to be a kid."
Well, this is a totally conscientious example, and maybe worse. For example, gathering people in the name of developing remote areas and selling them as illegal slaves to other countries?
The kind of people who gather for pioneering are people who don't have a place to eat or go, so they won't be suspicious if they're gone as a whole. Pioneering failures can be a failure, but failing is normal if you're on the verge of spreading warcraft. You won't be heavily reprimanded if you keep it profitable elsewhere. Besides, I'm not actually pioneering, so if I wear all that investment cost, I'll make a whole lot of money.
Of course, it's a crime in the kingdom. If we find out, we're doomed. I don't want to. Crime is too risky.
Or do you think you would simply raise the tax rate or create a new tax? But the tax hike will prove the ruler incompetent, so you shouldn't unless you have too much left to do. It's like declaring, "I can't do what other people can." I wouldn't normally do that because that's also declaring the incompetence of the lord who appointed me deputy.
The same applies to the introduction of new taxes, which are not satisfactory to residents. They have birth taxes and marriage taxes in some territories, but if they make something like that, people will spill out of the territory. The introduction of new taxes would be allowed about when new industries were erected. Take it from where you're making money, not from the people, that's the right way to tax it.
"I've been given such a delicious position without a deadline, so I have to earn it."
"Shit! Fun now! The blood of the sea elves is making a scene!!"
"Ugh, yeah. In the end, let's raise them to a grand chamber of commerce where they can set up big shops in the first class of Wangdu."
Um, you seem motivated. Above all. Let's make some guts.

At Border Sets, it was the first time in a long time that he enjoyed cooking and bathing in the 'Puppy Pavilion of the Compact'.
If you go back to Dorton, you'll find your own hot spring, but the hotel baths are good too. This tub is made of wood. Relax with the smell of wood.
And more importantly, the Inn Baths are gender-specific. I usually feel uncomfortable being forced to take a mixed bath, but I don't need to feel that way here. Osama is happy with the mixed baths, on the other hand, because there are so many women overwhelmingly, they get spooked. This time, me and Basil, just the two of us let me relax. No, there were some of my guests, Osama.
Restaurant cuisine has also become more sophisticated than it was initially. The serving is stylish and the flavour is stable. I guess I'm getting used to doing the numbers. Pretty waitresses seem to be popular too, and there's nothing to worry about for the moment.
By the way, this day's uniform was minisca blazer uniform JK style. When a realistic western girl does it, her legs are too long and she has trouble with the place of her eyes. Bruised around seemingly invisible. It's going to be popular. No, I designed it. Do it!
Ask Lloyd, who runs the business, and the inn and restaurant seem to be going well. The restaurant was as busy as ever in idle madam with the men, and the innkeeper always meant that 90% were buried. Apparently, the war is over, which means the use of merchants from the Wang capital side is increasing. That war, which, from the citizen's point of view, began crumbly, would also be a great victory if it ended. I guess the victory mood is making economic activity more active.
What a soap and shampoo the merchants are after here. That's a very popular product at some point. The result of working hand in hand with a commercial guild? They come to buy soap and shampoo, and then the trend is to stay at our main house and go home. You have a good circulation.
That's why there seemed to be no particular problem except that the stockpile of soap and shampoo was more meticulous. The ingredients are also soaring in Border Sets with an increase in production after an increase. I'm glad I bought some ingredients in Wangdu.
On the other hand, there was a problem with the ranch. It's a demon.
Originally there were no big carnivorous demons around Bordersetz. There are tooth rats in the neighboring woods, but they basically never come out of the woods. So there was a rare institution in the kingdom called "Ranch," and you think there's been a recent case of that ranch being vandalized and livestock being attacked?
There are four ranches near Bordersetz. None of them are that big.
Two of them are in my possession, and both of them are damaged. It's adjacent, and there's a lot of livestock. It's definitely easy to target. In less than the last twenty days, a total of four chicken-like, flightless bird livestock 'chickens' that had been left unattended had been hit.
I know who did it. A meadow wolf. I was witnessing the shepherd flee. The number is two. It's a small number for a herd, so I'm sure they just broke up a nest.
Wolves hunt in flocks. It is very important to share roles, whether it is a hunting or ambushing role or a tracking role. Hands for just the two (feet?) It won't be enough. I think he had trouble eating and came close to dangerous people.
But a meadow wolf... this could be a chance to get a new Mohmof, no, Woo's mate.
Woo is cute and smart, but he hasn't met any of his buddies because he's been with me the whole time. Alone all the time. He may be fine with that, but he doesn't like me.
I want to see Woo's kid! I want to hold up Moffmoff's warm hairballs! I want to love a mockingbird crawling around looking for an opium while mooing! I understand that I am selfish. No reflection, no variation.
Besides, wolves are inherently flocks of creatures. Being alone all the time, now is not the preferred environment for Woo either. From that point of view, I've always wanted to keep more than one meadow wolf company.
"What, you've already put out an extermination request to the Adventurer Guild?
"Ha, while the damage will be greater as it is..."
Oh, my God. According to the rancher, he's already issued a request for extermination with four ranch names in a row. As a request, it's an easy crusade, so it may have already been received.
Going to make sure to the Adventurer Guild,
"Oh, well, the day I stuck it out, an intermediate current party would have received it."
And Misha, a receptionist not as big as Luca, told me as ever. Five days ago, he said.
But this came.
As far as I'm concerned, being a Mofflist, I can't shut up and overlook Moffmoff getting killed. I cannot withdraw a request that has already been received, nor can I grab my prey from the side as the benevolence of the adventurer.
If I take those meadow wolves somewhere, the requested adventurers will have to pay the penalty as a failure, and their ratings will be reduced. I'm just doing my job normally, but that's pathetic.
No, what is it?
