Price of Management

Leaden City.

The capital of the Kingdom of Leaden was a large city of numerous nobles and symbols.

In addition, there were many subordinates living outside the castle.

Especially because of last year's Great Famine, the poor who had to leave their hometown to live came here. It was a well-lived city with a king, so I thought there would be a way to eat and live.

That's why there were so many slums in the suburbs of Ledon. The homeless poor family hugged each other on the street, making them sad to see.

A young child was sucking his fingers, hunched over, hungry and parched. The child did not focus on his eyes as if he were going to die soon.

There were three men walking the pathway of that pathetic slum.

They were Lou the palace's terminal handler and two soldiers guarding him.

“Shit, why do I have to come to a place like this? ”

Louie grunts loudly and grumbles.

Louis Concern was the next son of the Baron Concern, a small family member of the royal family.

When he became an adult and became an heir to the family, Louis had to become independent.

Louie is not talented in sword and magic, but has a good head, so she studied well and was quick to notice. Knowing his qualifications, Louie applied to the Royal Court as soon as he became an adult.

Luckily, I was assigned to the royal palace as soon as I was hired. Having been able to work in the royal palace, which is the core of the royal family in which the king resides, Louie was pleased to be able to take the advancement course if well done.

However…….

“Shit. What? Scout the Slum to see if the plague is spreading? Oh, shit!"

Upon his first visit to the royal household, the fat boss handed out a few documents and pushed himself into the slum.

In the document, Louie said her complexion turned pale. In summary, it was:

During the drought last year, the people of the northernmost part of the kingdom sought shelter and flowed to the south. Since the Northern region is a region where endemic diseases and infectious diseases commonly occur, we need to investigate the situation quickly because we have concerns about spreading to the world through floating favelas.

It was a hell of a ride.

I had a pretty good idea why the Baron Concern, the next in line, belonged to the royal palace.

No one in the royal palace wanted to investigate whether or not the plague was spreading by shooting the Slum every day. So, instead, he would have chosen him to be a man who would dip his feet in a muzzle.

‘Come, I'll give you a dip. I'll do anything for you, but remember, This is what you owe me. ’

It was a big enough tribute because everyone was willing to scout the Slum. By doing something so evil, we can achieve achievements faster than others and be recognized by our superiors.

"Can't you do anything to get ahead? ’

The ambitious Louis continues to walk the Slum, comforting himself like that.

Louie despises the filthy Slum, but he doesn't neglect his work. Though he had no loyalty to the royal family, he was prepared to become a leader.

You look around at the poor with sharp eyes. Most of them were starving and had no energy. Even though Lou was cold, it was not a good look.

“Tsk, tsk.”

The way I looked at it, I thought all the politicians were assholes. A ring of nobles who throw banquets and drink cheerfully can feed dozens of such poor people.

‘But what can I do? That is your destiny. Blame being born low. ’

Louie continues to move her steps, spitting out her insides.

But it was then.

“Cough, cough! Cough! ”

A skinny old man crouching on the pavement coughs.

Once the impression of Louie frowning, he took out two handkerchiefs and covered his nose and mouth with one of them.

Louie reaches out to the thin old man coughing and gives out another handkerchief.

“Cough! Cough! Queek!”

The old man coughs as if he were about to pass out, looking up at Louis with a curious face.

“Cover your mouth with this and cough. ”

Louie orders with his nose and mouth covered with other handkerchiefs.

The old man coughs, covering his mouth with the handkerchief he had handed him.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

“There you go. Now give it to me. ”

Louie snatches a handkerchief from the old man. And I opened it.

“ ……! ”

For a moment, everything was frozen solid.

The two soldiers escorting him also opened their eyes in awe.

There was a black stain on the handkerchief.

“Oh, shit! ”

Louie throws the handkerchief away with a cursing speech, and runs with the soldiers.

“Let's get back to the royal palace now! It's an emergency!”

But Louie himself had no idea how big this could be.

A black blood clot has erupted that will hit the entire continent.

* * *

There have been reports of black blood fevers across the continent. Our Kunt order was no exception.

After the appearance of a black blood disease in the Slum, Arthur was surprised and immediately quarantined the Slum. He also dispatched troops to each village to make sure there were no patients with leukemia. As a result, we also quarantined three villages with Black Leukemia.

Thanks to Arthur's swift response, it was a problem because there were not only one or two territories who already had Black Blood Disease that prevented the disease from spreading further within the territory. Moreover, the fear of black blood fever shook the mind of the entire area.

But there was nothing to worry about.

And why is that?

I've been preparing for this day since last year!

“You have a Sachsel? ”

I came to the mansion and informed Arthur that I have a large amount of Sachsel.

Arthur was excited by his surprise and joy.

“Uh, how much do you have? ”

“Not much, but... enough to save tens of thousands of patients with black blood?" ”

“Huh! Is that true? ”

Arthur was frightened.

What he did, in fact, was an epidemic that occurred in the northern continent. Thus, the treatment for black blood disease, Saxel, was also a herb grown in the northern regions and occasionally.

However, since last year, I have been cultivating my crop cells by buying large quantities of herb fields.

The Herb Storage managed by Hansen's Mother is full of Sachets, and the Herb Field is growing well in the spring, so we are waiting for the harvest. Our territory was worth exporting to foreign countries as well.

“I'm so glad! Sell me your Sachsel Leaf. I'll give you a good price. ”

“Brother Arthur, what are you getting at? You think I'm the one who's going to make a fortune in the middle of a black blood disease on the territory of my family? ”

“Huh? No, that's not it, but you're a merchant... ”

“I'm part of the family, too. We will supply as many Sachsels as we need on our territory for free. Let's do something about it before it spreads any more. ”

“Thank you very much. You saved our land! ”

Arthur was moved and held my hand tightly.

“You're welcome.”

“But this is amazing. How did you collect Sachsel because you knew black blood would happen? ”

“Well, it's just……. ”

I had to blurt it out. Luckily, Arthur didn't ask any more questions.

Brother Arthur sent the leaves I received to the isolated slums and villages due to the Black Plague.

Thanks to this, villagers coughing and vomiting black blood quickly recovered their health.

In the beginning, it was a horrible disease that led to death within a month, but it was not difficult to treat. However, in my previous life, the cause of the black blood disease terrorized the entire continent was the lack of a cure, Sachsel.

But this time, I grew a large crop of Saxocells to secure the quantity. King Erik, who has also heard my warning, must have been prepared. That is why we could expect a considerable reduction in the death toll of black blood clots than in our previous lives.

Thanks to Sachsel, whom I provided for free, our territory was able to root out the Black Plague quickly.

The sober settlers in the Black Leukemia praised the Kunt family day after day.

By the way, I thought our Kunt family had grown terribly in the last two years.

My father who attended the civil war last spring was promoted to self-destruction and increased his territory. He also survived the Great Famine and absorbed the slums from the outside and increased the population. Not long ago, I won the Territory War. Moreover, this time, the Black Leukemia was safely handed over, so it was natural for the British to trust the Kunt family as well.

It is said that the monarch who has gained the mind from the past is great. With the mood of the territory following us, it was clear that the Kunt family would grow further in the future.

Boom!

Longsword of two sacks collides with elongation. Because of the error, an explosive sound rang out whenever it collided.

“Not bad, Your Majesty! ”

“Jim's not dead yet. ”

Eric struggles and continues to wield the Long Sword.

But the opponent is Earl Randall Spay, deputy commander of the Royal Knights.

Eric was also an Expert to come, but as time went on, he was forced to take more defensive and more backward steps than attacking.

The sweat drops on my forehead made my eyes ache. Eric grips his teeth and tries not to blink.

Randall, on the other hand, relaxes. He makes a light gesture about how to cook Erik.

Soon, Randall opens his jab.

“Hehe!”

Hefty surprised, Eric quickly defends against the stabbing.

However, Randall's Long Sword stops as he spears and flicks Eric's Long Sword aside.

“ ……! ”

Then you dig into Erik's arms and rush into his shoulders.

Rrrrgh!

“Huff!”

A truly ruthless, ruthless thrust. Eric makes a colourful splash of the king.

Randall celebrates his victory with a glint of Long Sword in the sky.
