Price of Management

Unlike poor Hansen, the Caroc armory is perfectly operational.

Julia, who used to be called the Golden Lady, manages and has the best Gus-inspired skills on the continent. What's wrong with that?

But for now, I feel obliged to visit the Caroc Merchant Guild for a short time.

It's probably the biggest source of revenue for my merchant family, and it was an important business that invested 40% of my money when the Kunt family was founded.

Land, land! Ta-da!

“Son of a bitch! You can only hammer like that?! ”

“I'm sorry! ”

“Get the casting out of the maze! ”

“Just straighten it up! ”

Huge collaboration.

Ordinary craftsmen and pottery were busy moving without a moment's rest.

Heat gushes from the bellows and furrows.

I felt passion from the artisans who preached and cursed dozens of apprentices.

Seeing that people's personality is not a joke, either, because it is the work of burning, roasting, hammering and beating.

Ah-ha-ha.

But I felt good as an owner because everyone seemed to be engaged with high concentration.

It seemed that the best craftsman, Goose, had trained the craftsmen well.

In addition, salary and treatment are generous, so naturally a good workplace is formed.

I took a look around and headed to Goose Inspired's private workshop.

Gus-inspired private workshops were as big as the best craftsmen and as well-equipped.

“Hold it well. ”

“Yep!"

Old Gus was making something out of his young craftsmanship.

It looks like Long Sword's sword when I see it pounding.

Even though I came in, the two of them didn't notice and were obsessed with work.

I decided to watch as Goose's inspiration focused that much, and I thought a great piece would be created.

Old Gus, who was hammering around like an old man, took a breath and found me.

“No, Baron! ”

“Goose, long time no see! How's work going? ”

“Yes, of course. No, but... ”

Inspired Goose looked at my outfit with a surprised face instead of talking.

Aha. The red Misrill coat I was wearing was eye-catching.

“Oh, this? It was a gift from a noble man of the Horn Empire. ”

For playing with a dangerous lunatic. I'm still a little nervous thinking about that maniac.

However, as a gift from the great emperor Horn, this red Misrill coat was a considerable luxury.

The inspiration of Goose, the master of all things, was worth interested in.

“You've done a great job! The craftsmanship of pulling out the threads is impeccable, as well as the dyeing and design. ”

“Ah. I liked the button better because it's spirit stone. ”

“This is it. You must have worn it instead of the Troll Leather jacket I made for you. ”

That said, I was hot.

“No, of course, it doesn't mean that old Gus is any less skilled than the craftsman who made this coat……. ”

“No! I don't know who made this coat, but it's never under this old man. ”

“Oh, no way. ”

But if you made a true coat for the Emperor, you must be the best artisan in the Horn Empire. I couldn't say I was any better than Goose.

“After gaining the Baron's trust and becoming the best artisan of this armory, I assumed my pride under a number of artisans. It's been a long time since I've bled! ”

“Well, are you going to build something for me? ”

“Yes, allow only 8,000 Redinas for the cost of materials. ”

“Okay. I'll talk to Julia and get her to cover the cost of the materials. ”

With Goose's inspiration, even supporting 8,000 Redinas would have made a tremendous treasure.

Now that I have quite a lot of wealth, I had that kind of money to spend.

“Thank you."

Gus resumed his work with a young craftsman.

Out of the workshop, I went to the office where Julia was working.

“Oh, welcome! ”

Julia welcomed me.

“What about Sis? ”

“Do you have something to do with cis? ”

Julia asked as if she was offended.

“No, not really. ”

“Then don't look for it! ”

I narrowed my eyes and laughed.

“Dear Julia, are you jealous? ”

“What, what?! ”

“Phew, so cute. ”

I stroked Julia's head.

Julia, who has red face, tries to say something, but her mouth twitches.

Julia, who was rarely in a commotion, quickly changed the subject.

How cute is that?

“Beyond that, you sent me a letter. Send 20,000 Redinas to secure food and supplies for the Horn Empire." ”

“Yes, I did. ”

“I was curious about your sudden export to the Horn Empire, so I did some digging. Is there a compromise between the River Baden and the Jade Emperor? ”

And then I forgot about Julia's yard.

Julia has established a network of high-end restaurants in the Kingdom of Leaden with only nobles and symbols.

Looks like he found out about it from that connection.

That means that it is widely known that the Royal Court and Jehovah are at odds with the problems of the Baden River.

“Julia, don't tell anyone about this. We must not let anyone know, especially that we have enough to export to the Horn Empire. ”

“Do you think I'm an idiot? ”

“Good. Eventually, the toll on the Baden River will be lower. Then it will be easier to trade with the Horn Empire. That's when the Horn Empire sells its most needed food and supplies. ”

This is how you make money.

“There are more profitable things than necessities. Some of the nobles of the Horn Empire are looking for items like paintings, precious metals, and cloth. ”

“There's a reason for all of that. You'll find out when it's time. ”

Other than that, I discussed the operational issues between Julia and Carrock's armory.

Julia was also working on a "Carrock Catalog" project, where she is currently looking to evaluate the skills and personalities of UAVs and select the best 100 UAVs.

“As far as possible, recruit people who are not politically inclined. You're supposed to be non-discriminatory. ”

For example, if we elected a Ledon royalist as an appraiser, we could deliberately underestimate the postdisciplinary articles.

In addition, aristocrats ridicule ordinary knights and mercenaries.

“Yes, I know. So I'm from a retired article, I'm not doing any political work, I'm looking for someone with a good reputation. ”

“If we do well, our Caroc Armory will have the best reputation on the continent. ”

“Yes, leave it to me. ”

On second thought, I thought I had left Julia with too much to do.

The management of the Caroc Armory, as well as the necessary supplies and catalogues for export to the Horn Empire, were too much to pass on to Julia.

Although she used to be called the Golden Lady in her previous life, she was a young virgin who was only twenty years old now.

Though, of course, she doesn't look like a young virgin.

I was worried and asked Julia.

“Julia, don't you think it's hard because there's so much going on? ”

“What are you talking about? The more work I do, the more power I have. Don't even think about taking my job and giving it to someone else! ”

“ ……. ”

I should just give you a few bottles of healing potions.

But then, someone knocked.

“Who's there?”

You hear a man's voice outside, asking Julia.

“I'm a servant of the Kunt writer. I'm here on behalf of Grand Duke Arthur. Isn't Baron Carroc Kunt here? ”

“Come in.”

Soon a servant who looked familiar to me came in.

“What's going on? ”

The servant looks down at my question.

“Grand Duke Arthur wants to see you. ”

“Why?”

“Someone from the royal family brought me a letter, but I have to deliver it directly to the baron..." ”

That said, I sighed.

Delivering directly to me means a letter with important contents.

Besides, it's only the beginning of summer and you're already calling me when you're resting?

It was clear that something big had happened.

What is it?

The big thing that can happen at this point.

At that moment, I felt the brain of Emperor Kars.

No way...

What did that psychopath do?

I left the office feeling anxious.

“Julia, keep up the good work. ”

“Is this about the aftermath? ”

“Yeah, I think so. Oh, by the way, give Old Gus 8,000 radishes. I promised to make something awesome for me. ”

“Okay, bye. ”

“Huh."

I thought that Julia has become so stubborn and pretty lately.

There's been no sign of a crooked complainant anywhere.

This is bad.

I shouldn't fall in love.
