Price of Management

< -- 52 times: volume 2 - chapter 8. Mine -->

When I returned to the Chamber of Commerce, the three employees welcomed me.

“You're back, shorty. ”

Hansen is the one who greets politely.

“You said you were amazing. How much compensation did you take when you won the war? Does anything fall on us? ”

Julia starts with a greeting and ends with money.

“ ……. ”

The man who waved his hand at me silently was Sis. Just waving and greeting was still the progress of the elders.

“How's everything going? ”

Hansen stepped up to my question and said:

“I've harvested Torma, which I started growing last year. Abundance! ”

Hansen seemed very happy to say that. You cannot say you are proud of what you have managed as a result of success.

It was a pleasure.

Both the Saxel Leaf well stored in the Medicine Storage and this year's abundant Torma will soon be sold on fire in the coming epidemic.

Okay. In these times, compliments are a virtue of being a great executive.

“Well done. Hansen takes good care of it every day. ”

Hansen was surprised by my compliment.

“Shorty! Oh, no! The quality of the field was very good because the owner had provided a lot of the Earth Swarm debris the other day. ”

“Humility. Fine, I'll give Hansen a special reward. ”

“Shorty...! ”

Hansen was greatly impressed. He even cries how impressed he is.

I can't help but be touched when I get whipped, whipped, whipped, and whipped and eat carrots. Uh-huh.

I stroked Hansen's head as a reward.

“Well done, well done. ”

“ ……. ”

The emotion fades from Hansen's stroked face.

“Why? Are you complaining? ”

“What about the reward?”

“You just stroked me. ”

“ ……. ”

Now you're just going to shoot me in the face.

Look at this guy. Do you know how much my sweet spirits love it when I pet them?

Then, this time, Julia stepped out.

“Our house is almost finished. Furniture, decor, and walls still take a month to build, but the mansion itself was very satisfying. ”

Then she showed me the blueprints.

“Look, it's our house that's going to be finished soon. ”

Looking at the blueprints, I was amazed.

Just like Julia Lauren.

The three-story mansion was a unique design that was hard to see even in the Kingdom of Leaden.

A mixture of dome-shaped roofs and spiral-shaped roofs, and a boldly large glass window added sophistication to the design.

Of course, the architect could have helped, but he's still planning a mansion like this. It was an artistic sight that was not lacking in comparison with the nobles of the top class.

“Amazing? I've never seen such a chic mansion. ”

“Right? I did good, right? ”

“Yes, yes, well done. ”

“Then I want a reward too. ”

“…… Huh? ”

“Give me a pat.”

I was scorned by Julia's demands. What's wrong with her?

I stroked Julia's red hair with a shivering expression.

“Well, well, well. ”

“Ufufufufufu.”

Julia looks very happy.

Yeah, yeah. It must be nice to be praised for his accomplishments to me as a single owner.

I don't think it means anything.

However, Sis, who was looking at it, coldly reached out to the ledger. I took a look at the books that Sis worked so hard to put together.

It was amazingly well organized. Even Cooper was spotless.

“Well done. I've never seen such a thorough ledger. ”

In my compliment, Sis blushes and holds out her head to me. This can't be it!

“Shi, do you want Cis as well? ”

“... Yes. ”

I had to stroke his head, too.

Sis was cute, so she patted me for a long time.

And Julia said, "Why are you whipping me for so long?" I want you to stroke me six more seconds! "’I reached out my head.

I summoned Woundee to give Julia a bath in order to sober up.

I called the three of you to sit down and seriously opened the door.

“Yesterday I bought a mine from a Cornwall writer. The Kunts and our council have invested half as much. ”

Except for Sis, Hansen was astonished at Julia's face.

“And pretty soon, I'm going to invest a lot of money and set up a very big armory. with the aim of mass-producing weapons professionally and delivering them to the kingdoms and lords of every country. Leap into the munitions industry with iron ore mines and weapons stores, that's my first objective. ”

“Well, then you can make a lot of money that you can't even compare to now? ”

Julia asked with an excited face. The bigger the scale, the more Lady's blood boils.

“Yes. Only when it's gone, it's going to be very bad. ”

That made Hansen's complexion pale.

“Soon our council will be as big as ever. There could be hundreds of employees under you, and the clients you're dealing with will be top classes in the world, such as grandeur, nobility, royalty, and so on. ”

Everyone else became nervous, except for Sis.

“What I want to tell you is that as the council grows, so do you. ”

I said with a fucking smile.

“So, you know, I'm going to have to educate you guys when I can. ”

“What education? ”

I answered Hansen's question.

“Every morning from 7: 00 a.m. to 1: 00 p.m., you will learn noble etiquette at the mansion of the writer Kunt. How to walk, how to sit, how to greet, how to eat. Now, do you understand? Go to Betty's nanny in the Kunt writer's mansion from tomorrow until 7: 00 a.m. The nanny Betty will be very kind and thoroughly educating you. ”

The three employees' faces were lifted.

After I finished my errands, I left the office and headed to Goose Inspiration's Weapons Depot.

Of course, I didn't forget to buy a gift for Goose before that.

“Oh, Duke Carroc! No, you're the baron now, right? ”

Goose, who boasted muscle quality that was not suitable for his age, welcomed me.

“Hahaha, I think Goose calls me the Baron, and somehow we're too far apart. ”

“Oops, that can't be. So should I just call you Confucius? ”

“No, call me Baron. ”

“Hahaha!”

Old Goose and I burst into laughter.

“But what do you need? ”

“I came here today to talk to you about Goose. ”

“Really? Then let's go to my room. ”

Old Gus guides me to a room at the far end of the armory.

The goose-inspired room was deserted, just crude beds, tables, and chairs.

“Oops, there's nowhere to sit... ”

“It's okay. I'll sit on the bed. ”

“Yes, yes, please. ”

I sat on the bed and the Goose inspiration sat on the chair.

First, I took out a gift that I had prepared.

“Now, this is my heart thinking of Goose inspiration. ”

It was a healing potion. It was the best gift for Goose, who cared so much about his health.

“Oh, all this! ”

Then Goose quickly grabbed the healing potion. Health mania.

Seeing the exhilarating Goose inspiration, I finally bring it out.

“You used to be busy with the war, right? ”

“Of course. Suddenly, I couldn't sleep with you ordering weapons and armor to arm two hundred new cavalry. ”

“You must be bored. ”

“Oops, no. I enjoy hammering the most. ”

“Haha, Goose must be a natural craftsman. ”

“Bullshit, maybe. ”

“But making hundreds of points of the same weapon for a soldier wouldn't have been fun. It will be much more fun to make a single sword with all your might. Isn't that right?"

“Yes, but... where can the world do what it wants to do? ”

“Sometimes I feel sorry for Goose whenever I think of him. A great master craftsman like Goose should not be wasting his strength and time like this... I have to work hard to make the only work in the world. ”

“Haha……. ”

Old Goose smiles bitterly. I felt ten minutes of empathy for my words.

“Speaking of which, would you like to hear my proposal? ”

I got to the point.

“I'm going to build a very large armory. ”

“Yes? A very large armory? ”

“Yes. A weapon much larger than Goose's old arsenal and dozens of craftsmen. ”

“Hurrah!"

“The production process is going to be different. Common artisans mass-produce armor for soldiers, while top artisans like Goose Inspiration provide their own dedicated forges to create custom orders, namely specially customized armor, or the masterpieces they want to craft. ”

“Wow, that's an amazing idea. ”

“We're also introducing an artisan education system. The best craftsmen are the common craftsmen, and the common craftsmen train the craftsmen who want to be craftsmen to improve their skills together. Yeah, like a magic guild. That way, over time, it will be the best weapon on the continent. ”

The Goose inspiration was completely engrossed in my words.

“That's not the end of it. We'll keep the sales people separate. We work with the artisans who make the armor to determine the price in advance, while the rest of the ordering and sales are all done by the salespeople. In short, the artisans don't have to worry about hammering anything else. ”

“If there is such an armory, really……. ”

Goose's inspiration spoke with a close look.

“This must really be heaven! ”

“Goose inspiration! Will you be the best man in the armory? ”

Old Goose's eyes widen.

“Old? Me? Me? ”

“Yes. There can be no blacksmith better than old Gus. I need the power of Goose! ”

Goose was greatly surprised by my offer.

“But I'm just a blacksmith.... ”

“What are you talking about? Gus is the best blacksmith. If you help me inspire Goose, I can be the master of the ultimate armory. I'm begging you."

I wonder if my desperation has reached him.

Thinking about it for a long time, Goose awoke from his seat.

And you fell to me.

“Please join me in the baron's will. I think I can fulfill my lifelong dream of having a weapon like that. that I can hammer to make the work that I want. ”

“I'm the one who asks you nicely! ”

I raised him up, clutching the hands of old Gus.

All right!

With Goose inspired, military operations were almost a success.

I ran to the mansion to inform my second investor, Arthur.

But when I entered the mansion, something was wrong. It's like they're all excited, like the night before the festival.

Servants and maids gathered together and were excited and began to blossom.

Did something good happen?

I went inside and saw what kind of father I was supposed to be working on by now.

“Caroc! Welcome. I have good news! ”

“What news? Is your father getting a new bride? Of course, I understand and accept it as a man. ”

My father slapped me on the back while slapping me.

“Kuhaha, this guy! Similar, but incorrect. Arthur was immediately confounded! ”

“To Brother Arthur?! ”

I was also very happy with the news.

Come to think of it, Brother Arthur is ten years older than me, so I was 30 this year.

I have been busy working in the territory, and I have not received a lecture from the noble family because of the humble title of baron in the countryside before.

How lonely he must have been to live alone because of work. I know that loneliness because I've lived my whole life alone.

... Oh, why are you trying to cry?

You will meet a beautiful and good wife in this life! We'll have lots of cute girls like gnomes and undees!

But suddenly, I had a strange thought.

In his previous life, Arthur was married at 34. She was the daughter of the late lord, just like our family at the time. It looks ordinary, but I remember it being nice and frugal. Thanks to you, Arthur had a peaceful family.

Oh, yeah?

Did I change even Arthur's wife?

I was terrified.

In my past life, my family was just a small lord family, just like two years ago. Because of this, I had to speak to a similar level of the Lord's family.

But what about now?

After winning the territory war, the territory was doubled and promoted from baron to writer. I am rich in money thanks to you. It became a family that no one else could look down on.

I asked with trembling emotions.

“Who are you speaking to? ”

“Haha, don't be surprised. The author is the one who suggested marriage. The author of Hoodini, who rules the largest grain cellar in the kingdom and made a fortune during the Great Depression. ”

Cough!

A hoodie?

I was overwhelmed with anxiety.

“Then Arthur's marriage partner.... ”

“This is Leira Hoody, the fifth infamous author of Houdini. ”

Tying!

I was struck down by a hammer. It felt like my soul was leaving my body and flying out into space.

“Hahahaha! My little dove, Hudini, is still 19 years old. Of course, it's been a while, but it's a lot younger than the thirty year old Arthur! Arthur's got a lot of luck! ”

The sound of my father's laughter sounded like a hallucination.

“Hahaha! A thief was born in the Kunt clan! ”

Shut the fuck up!

That was my wife in my past life!

“No! ”

A screaming voice came out of my mouth.
