Price of Management

“The aftermath of the Great Famine caused the game to die.... ”

“There are a lot of favelas who want to work for the earthlings. If you hire them, you'll be able to recruit workers at a cheap price? ”

“Yes… that's right. ”

“There will be no work repairing the castle after the last siege. The construction industry will be in a recession for a while. ”

Julia also said a quick word. I knew I had it in me.

“Wouldn't it be cheaper to renovate an existing armory I used to operate than to rebuild it? ”

Suggest even Goose inspiration.

Ravana was embarrassed, he said.

“Now that I think about it, 13,000 Radinas will suffice, Baron Carroc. ”

2,000 Redinas, but still expensive.

“Let's make it 7,000 Redina. ”

“Old? Me, Baron! With that budget, I can't...! ”

I said to Laban, who was in tears.

“I'll help you with the animosity. Ask Norm to build a stone building. That should be enough for 7,000 Redinas, given the massive reduction in stone and manpower consumption. ”

“Ah! That's enough for 7,000 Redinas. ”

My work, which has created a clay colony of hundreds of poor people with animisty skills, was well known to the Laban.

Moreover, our sweet gnome has a very good sense of smell.

Look at the earthen house Noam built. Even though it looks simple, it looks very sturdy and small.

If I and Noon are able to perform well, the construction time of a very large armory will be greatly shortened.

“Then I'll make a blueprint. ”

“Do it. ”

Laban bows his head and returns.

Even after Laban left, I had a lot of discussions with Julia and Goose about the way the armory operated.

“Top craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, general craftsmen, and pottery. This is how I intend to distinguish the craftsmen by your rank. The greatest craftsman controls all the craftsmen below, but Goose should be the one to do it. Skilled artisans will be responsible for crafting advanced weapons, specially ordered in their personal workshops, and regular artisans will work with master craftsmen to mass-produce military weapons. ”

I was in favor of Goose.

“Excellent. A common artisan can build a weapon to teach pottery, build skills, and more skilled artisans can indulge in crafting luxury goods as much as they want in a private workshop. ”

Then, Julia opens her mouth.

“Chief Goose, is there any retired artisans who have aged? ”

“Of course there is. Some of my friends have retired because they were passionate but had no energy to hammer. ”

“Why don't we hire them as quality supervisors? It's about reviewing the quality of the products that ordinary craftsmen and pottery make and picking up defective products. Eliminating defective goods and improving quality will increase the reliability of our staging area. ”

I applauded Julia's opinion.

“What a great idea! ”

“Hehe, right? ”

“Yes. The golden one…. ”

“Yes?”

“Hmmm! No, nothing. You're beautiful.”

The golden woman, after all! ’I almost cried out,' I felt a bit dizzy.

“Uheeheehee.”

But in my words, Julia was ashamed, blushing her cheeks.

It was a very cute face, not a grumpy face. The compliment of being pretty is good.

Julia continued to comment on whether she was excited by my compliments.

“Why don't we organize an intelligence gathering group and dispatch them to countries to gather information about wars large and small? Even if it costs a little money, you can get information quickly, so it should be profitable in the long run. ”

I had no choice but to admire Julia again.

It was also an excellent choice to hire her as an employee.

“Yeah, that 'd be great. Then I suggest we organize a separate intelligence group to gather all the news from each country. But the problem is to find out which of the many news that I collected is worth money……. ”

“Can I have that, too? ”

Julia steps out in a heartbeat.

“You?”

“Yes, I have enough parallel to running an armory. If you leave it to me, I'll just pick the right news and let the Lord know. ”

It was what I wanted too.

A person of Julia's caliber might be able to figure out what information is worth money.

She's better than I am, after all.

“Yes, do it. But now that we have too much money to spend, let's talk about the organization later. ”

“Yes.”

If you take over the intelligence group at the Extra Large Weapon Shop, Julia will be greatly empowered.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I'm going to make Julia second in line to my council anyway.

She was successful in her past life as a merchant much more than I was called a golden woman.

What are you doing letting a kid run wild like that?

If you sit him down as a subordinate and let him run the Chamber of Commerce instead of me, it'll be a death sentence.

How comfortable am I with just making important decisions for a short week?

He's the leader of an organization. You can't just work and live like him.

As we discussed, the organizational chart of a very large stagehouse was detailed.

When I spent every day working so hard in commerce, a servant of the family came to me one day. It was called by my father.

Why are you calling me?

That afternoon I went to the mansion and met my father.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Yes, there is one thing you must do. ”

“Tell me anything. ”

“Go to the writer of Hoodini and tell him you'll accept his offer of marriage. ”

I was surprised to open my eyes.

“Then……. ”

“Yes. I've decided to make a private fortune with the writer, Houdini. Oh, and tell him this, too. ”

My father gave me the sealed documents.

“This is an engagement vow. We can't have the wedding right now, so let's do it in the fall, and let's close the engagement first. ”

“Yes, I like that too. ”

It's only been a few days since the Territory War, and I'm always busy.

And in the summertime, there will be a plague. So it was time to get married in the fall.

However, since the other person may change his mind in the meantime, we should conclude the engagement vow and confirm the marriage.

Perfect timing.

I've always wanted to meet Leyra.

I would like to have a reflective look at her, who was my wife in my past life.

Was she really from the start a lavish, vain woman?

Or did I make her that way?

“Leave it to me. I'll get you engaged. ”

* * *

“Please take good care of it. ”

Three mercenaries bow to me.

Yesterday I asked you to send three experienced and skilled mercenaries to the mercenary guild, and they came looking for me.

Names Tom, Rock, and Billy. They were all middle-aged people in their early 40s, all three of whom had more than 20 years of experience as mercenaries.

Moreover, they said they participated in our territory not long ago.

I decided to use them as escorts on my way back and forth to Houdini's palace.

As an intermediate spirit, I've seen very little danger unless I've met an ogre like before.

You can ask Norm for his nighttime sleepover.

But first I needed a horse to drive the wagon.

Besides, it's convenient to prepare for a camp such as setting fires and cooking, or to have someone take care of the monsters after you defeat them.

In fact, they are mercenaries hired to do the dirty work rather than guard them.

I got on the Sadducee Wagon.

Tom and Locke sit in the carriage seat, and Billy climbs up on the roof of the wagon.

As Tom whips, the four horses start dragging the wagon forward.

The way was smooth.

I did not encounter monsters or bandits, and the wagon was also purchased at Ledon Castle, so it did not fail.

During the day, while riding the wagon, I summoned Norm and Woundee to play around all day, and during the night I built a house of dirt for the mercenaries to camp outside, and I invited them to sleep comfortably on the cushions of the wagon.

But three days.

As I was driving down the road in the wagon, Norm, who was playing a childish game with Woundee, suddenly raised his head and said.

- Sir, 11 Orcs are hiding in front of 147 meters.

“Orcs?”

-Yeah.

Eleven Orcs.It was a good number to fight with 15 regular soldiers.

We and four mercenaries.

The numbers were greatly disadvantageous. But the important thing is this body, the Intermediate Spirit.

I opened the window of the wagon and told the mercenaries.

“There are 11 Orcs ambushed about 100 meters ahead. ”

The mercenaries were furious with my words. Eleven were too many.

Orcs are about the same height as humans, but they are both muscular and pre-group skillful, so they match skilled mercenaries and combat strength.

I said it again to reassure the nervous ones.

“I'll take care of it. All you have to do is keep the Orcs away from me. ”

Then the mercenaries were relieved.

“I understand.”

“That should do it. ”

I stopped the wagon about 70 meters away. We get out of the wagon and we're combat ready.

The foolish Orcs have yet to reveal whether we have noticed their ambush.

Well, then I guess I'll have to show you some bitterness from this side.

“Noum. Bury those who are hiding in the trap. ”

- Yeah!

The gnome flies away. Take advantage of the feeling of a little bit of spiritual friendliness in the future! "" Take advantage! ’The screams of the Orcs echoed.

A moment later, gnome comes back with a large shovel on his shoulder and says with a clear face.

- Master, I buried four. Was I good?

A presumptuous gnome who buries four Orcs alive. It's a little creepy, but you're cute!

“Yeah, we did a great job with the gnome. ”

- Eh-heh.

Tom, Locke and Billy, standing in a triangle to protect me, have been listening to our conversation and sweating cold.

Only then did the Orcs reveal one by one behind the bush. Three were buried alive, leaving eight.

“Take advantage! Wizard! ”

“Wizard first, hobby! ”

“I'll tear it apart first! ”

The Orcs mistook me for a wizard. Come on, they've seen a Wizard, but they've never seen a Spirit.

Anyway, the Orcs were fierce enough to shake their ugly faces in a fiery rage.

“Kill him!”

“Take advantage!”

Orcs grabbed onto each other with a stone axe or a wooden spear.

“Trap.”

I set a trap in front of them by using gnomes. The ground collapses and three Orcs dive into the pit.

“Takeover!”

“Take advantage!”

No matter how strong and sharp the Orcs are, they won't be able to get out of a hole 5 meters deep.

However, the other Orcs who followed calmly jumped over the pit. But at that moment,

“Earth Hand. ”

I made two hands of dirt and shoved them away.

“Take advantage!”

“Magic!" ”

They kindly drove the Orcs across the pit, and the rope fell into the pit.

“Noum, bury it now. ”

-Yeah.

When gnome dips his shovel into the ground, the pit from which the orcs fell is filled with soil. I heard the screams of the Orcs inside for a moment, but they were completely buried and stopped at the same time.

“Take it, take it! ”

“Weird magic! ”

The remaining three Orcs roam in horror. All right, let's get this over with.

This time I summoned Wounded.

“Wounded. Let's stab and kill those ugly things with the water sphere." ”

- …… Yes.

Woundee swoops up and reaches out to the orcs.

A puddle of water forms in the air and turns into three spears.

Kwajijik! Kuaak!

“Take advantage!”

“12644;"

A spear of water pierced the hearts of the Orcs in an instant. To the heart of all four, exactly. One-shot one-kill accuracy.

Because the water is lighter and better changed than the soil, this attack skill was more efficient for Woundee than for Noam.

“Noum, if the orcs in the ground are dead, let them out. ”

- Yeah!

I left the rest to the mercenaries. I went inside the Sadducee Wagon. I felt good after my performance for a long time. Killing 11 Orcs in an instant? I'm pretty good, too, right? Uh-huh-huh.

The mercenaries cut off the heads of the Orcs and rode off in the wagon. Orcs are money because they give prizes to nearby lords or Royal Offices.

Since then, the eyes of the mercenaries have been filled with admiration. They must have loved seeing 11 Orcs killed in front of them in an instant.

Haha, I know honor is useless, but people respect me for it, so I'm too good to be true.

* * *

When I arrived at the House of Houdini without incident, I headed straight for the House of Houdini.

After confirming the identity of the soldiers guarding the front door of the mansion, you instruct the mercenaries to wait with the Sadu Wagon and step inside.

I arrived at the hall on the first floor with instructions.

You wait for the hoodie to come from the foul hall decorated with monster baking.

On the other hand, there was also stuffed ogres that I had sold for 3,000 Redinas. I remembered the fierce fight at that time, and I felt scary without even knowing it.

I thought that I could fight better now that I have medium-degree spirits and even studied euphemism.

“It's been a long time, Duke Carroc. No, I should call you Baron now. Hahaha.”

I quickly regained my senses in a familiar voice.

Bird of Hoodini, my former father-in-law, revealed himself. When I was in the Great Depression, I felt like I had touched some money.
