My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

The moon changed to June of the continental calendar year 419. I was supposed to calculate my income and expenditure for a month of mine operations.

First, the income is AST 120 million, calculated as 2550 grams of gold. It's 58% worse than the original half-life expectation.

And spending, on average, is 4.2 million astr a day, 126 million astr.

This month's deficit is 24 million Ast.

In addition to this, at the beginning of the month we will have to pay the loan of 50 million astols for the mine and 18 million astols for the country and the local nobility.

A calculation of 35 million dollars from pharmacies that wholesale medicines for ten days fever and 31 million dollars from the sale of Karesa cloth for three clothes and 4 million from Eina to the pharmacist in research outlay donations, offset by a mix of separate revenues totalling 70 million astr, would do with a deficit of 22 million astr.

But the profits from the sale of Karesa cloth are expected to fall more and more from now on, eventually to 8 million a month, minus the cost of maintaining Wang Du's house, so the actual deficit is worth 45 million. That's a lot of money.

The holdings, since two-thirds of the gold produced is sold and the remainder is still on hand, are worth 21.6 million astr and 34 million astr of gold (fractional abbreviation).

At this pace, we can survive another two months, but by August, we will be counting business failures.

I reported it to everyone for once, but it was time to get a dark look on my face.

Especially since the pharmacist clouded his expression and just said a word 'ok', he continued to formulate his medication with the look he came up with. Did you even imagine that this mine would return to the hands of the original Chamber of Commerce?

The physician was recovering at one point, but I am quite worried because I have been coughing up more and more recently.

He won't listen to me when I tell him to rest, and I think he's cornered me even further with his current report.

I guess I'll just have to try to improve my income and expenditure here...

For that reason, I have also responded to the advice I had previously asked from Listella in Wang Capital in a letter, and I will try to improve it.

As far as refining gold, the largest source of expenditure, was concerned, I tried to negotiate discounts on the drugs and firewood (maki) I was getting delivered, but I ended up unwell.

There seems to be an almost fixed market, which is hopeless in this respect.

Then the next meal for everyone in the elves, but when I say reduce it, the pharmacist kills me, so I'll think about efficient procurement.

The current situation is that Mr. Rhina is buying around the neighboring villages by carriage, but there is too much, so he hires an adventurer in Wang Du to help him.

The amount of meal decided after consulting with the pharmacist and sister is 200 grams of wheat, 50 grams of meat, 200 grams of vegetable fruit and 3 grams of salt per meal in two meals a day in the morning and evening. An extra 100 milliliters of milk or 20 grams of cheese is meant for breakfast.

According to my sister's explanation, 'In the previous world, about 2,000 kilocalories. The calories consumed are proportional to the size of the body, and the elves are a lot of people about 170 cm tall, so enough to lead a normal daily life. But it is not enough to restore the low nutritional status of people who do manual labor. "You're familiar with it, Omae, even the nutritionist was aiming for it?

It also seemed slightly lacking in pharmacists, who wanted 100 grams of meat per meal, but the meat was expensive so they put up with it.

Instead, people who work heavily in ore haulage and other heavy labor will be given timely increments, focusing on the samples that Linne and the others have picked for us. It's a necessary measure, not discrimination.

The expenses required for these purchases vary slightly, but when you buy them all, 400 grams of wheat for a day is 80 astr, 100 grams of meat is 200 astr, 400 grams of vegetable fruit is 50 astr, 6 grams of salt is 12 astr, and 50 astr of milk or cheese, for a total of 392 astr.

This is a situation that initially surpassed the planned 300 Astol, but managed to keep it to 300 Astol per person and 1.2 million Astol for 4,000 people, making up for it with the Lynne and the others' collections.

By the way, the total weight is about four tons. You're already distracting me.

Besides, it is impossible to continue to procure this quantity only in the nearby villages, so from now on we will need to go further afield to buy it, so we plan to increase our expenses again by manpower and transportation.

I was talking to Listella about the circumstances around there in a letter, according to the reply.

'Rural things are more or less overpopulated and have extra manpower, except during the agricultural boom. So as long as we promise to buy at a price a little higher than the market, we should be able to collect our own food and come and sell it without having to go around collecting it. In front of the mine, you can open it in the market.'

That's what happened.

That's what I tried to do quickly because I was an expert, and thanks to the trust that Rhina had built up until then, people began to gather quickly, and every afternoon the market opened up in front of the mine.

As a place, it's the worst place in the mountains, but all the food is purchased a little higher than the market, so every day a large crowd of villagers gather from nearby villages with mountains of food on their backs.

And with the money we sold food, we're going to shop in the market.

In addition to buying and selling to neighboring villagers on the market, salt is precious around here in the mountains, so we sell the salt we are buying from Wang Du or groceries purchased from Wang Du as well. We are also trying to recover some expenses by selling materials that Lynne and the others have collected, woodworks made by Ceres and medicine-conditioned wound drugs and stuff.

I said that the medicine could not be produced any more, but the doctor who listened to the market said that there was no problem and made it, so there is no way that the management would not sell it in a difficult position.

I worry that the pharmacist will crumble before the mine does.

Market rumours spread gradually, with real pedestrians coming, and some of the villagers coming out, including Modoki, a pedestrian who bought a carriage and connected the village and city a little further away, going unexpectedly well.

Food has to be bought and stockpiled for many eyes in preparation for winter, and it helps a lot not to need the hassle of transportation.

Besides, thanks to the products placed on the market, about half of the expenditure is recoverable.

That's Listella's advice, but Listella's letter has a stretch,

'If you run out of trouble buying, please send Master Rhina to Wang Du as your liaison. Eina's going to be mentally ill because of her sister's lack of ingredients.'

It said:

... I could easily imagine the sight, so I decided to ask Rhina to play a liaison role with Wang Du. This is also a further cost saving as we have hiring adventurers up to now.

As a cycle in 10 days, it takes two days from the mine to head to the Wang capital loaded with mined gold and medicine-produced medicines, karesa cloth, etc., to stay for five days and return to the mine over two days with the supplies purchased. Spend a day at the mine and go to Wang Du again.

A long stay in the Wang capital is naturally a consideration for Eina. Because you two have a lot to take care of.

That's how we tried to improve our management, and we were able to compress our daily spending to an average of 3.6 million astols. Ast 18 million when fixed on the moon. It's still a deficit of 200,000 a day, but it's gotten a lot easier.

Thanks to regular flights operated by Mr. Reina, his contacts with Wang Capital have become stable, and if he can get more things to sell in the market and get more pedestrians to come, even if the black deficit may not be possible in the end, it may not be enough to eliminate the deficit.

All you have to do is pay back your taxes and your loan...
