Price of Management

Chapter 9. Birth

Earl Angus suddenly asked me after handing out the signed contract.

“So much for business. I'd like to hear the royal policy. ”

“Very well.”

“The Northern Battalion's renovations and trade with the Horn Empire seem to be all stones to promote the economy in the north, am I right?" ”

“Banning the passage of the Baden River to the Horn Empire is punishable by treason, but as a result, it is correct. ”

“I suppose such a policy would be a penalty to those ruling the Baden River and a benefit to the Northern Lords. After all, the Royal Nobles in the Northern Territories are pressuring us, which is against your insistence to cooperate. ”

Earl Duchen agreed with Earl Angus.

“I wanted to talk to you about that. This curfew is punishable by the treachery of two families, but we must not continue to repay our willingness to cooperate with the Crown in this manner. ”

After listening to both of them, I slowly opened my mouth.

“This is a surprise. ”

“What's surprising? ”

Earl Angus asked.

I told you.

“We decided to expand the northern corridor to the Baden River Basin as a reward for taking the penalty and following the curfew. The four families decided to pay for the expansion. So I thought you understood where the royal family was going. But that's not it. ”

The two of them tilted their heads as if they didn't know what I meant.

“Have you been to the North in the last few years? ”

“None.”

“I never left the Baden River. ”

The two of them shook their heads.

“After the civil war that took place on the throne, the Northern Hemisphere was severely ravaged by a series of catastrophic events such as the Great Plague and Black Plague. The security is getting worse, and the merchants are stepping down. The renovations started in the North to revive this. ”

I held my breath for a while and continued to explain.

“Then let me ask you one more question. Why is the Baden River Basin rich? ”

“Maybe it's because the three countries are activating trade through the Baden River basin. We collect that toll and accumulate wealth. ”

Earl Angus answered.

“That's right, but not only are the six families on the road taxed, but the commoners on the Baden River are generally doing well. The reason for this is that interactions are active, and opportunities are created there. It is the royal intention to bring that good cycle of economy to the north. ”

After the renovation of the northern road ends, the water price in the northern region will go much lower if it extends to the Baden River basin. The risk stems from better traffic and better security.

The end goal, of course, is to make a new industrial conglomerate stand up for the royal family, but I don't have to tell you that.

Anyway, I'm not lying.

As long as the Baden River exists, the landfall will not fall due to economic causes. Most of the logistics in the Kingdom of Leaden run through the Baden River.

“Above all, the economic flow in the north is ultimately down the Baden River. Northward along the northern road to the Horn Empire, or across the Baden River. ”

The two of them noticed some acceptance of my explanation.

But no one here knows the point.

They have a basic premise that the nobles will always have the upper hand.

As time goes on, economic exchanges between continents become active, and commercial entrepreneurs emerge from those changes. There is no way for them to know the future of the commoners who have more wealth than nobles to appear quickly.

After finishing a deal that was talkative and talkative, I returned to the territory.

Baron Paoni has already set up a shipyard. I have ordered that the contract be executed immediately.

Overall, I have decided to leave the matter to Baron Paoni and his lieutenant, Vale.

“And while I'm gone, you're in charge of the shipyard and the lumber yard. ”

“Me? I'm already assuming the position of Lord's Representative... ”

I told surprised Vale.

“The shipyards and lumber yards will be the jobs of feeding the colonies in the future. The biggest thing in ligand territory is those two, of course you have to take care of them. ”

“I don't know if I can do it well because I can't do business.... ”

“You can do this. And if you're a lord, judge and act like one. If you don't know, you can hire an expert to help you. You're not doing this all by yourself. ”

“I understand.”

“Then I'll leave the rest to you. ”

“Yes, Lord! ”

With him, the territorial work is done. Oh, it's been a busy day.

I did 10 days of sightseeing and shopping at Earl Ranzhel, of course. Every time I see Julia, cis' gifts and all kinds of supplies for my baby to be born, I'm delighted.

I put them all in a dungeon and tied them to the sky.

I'm sure Lex will be disappointed.

We used to hang out all night drinking beer together. But now I'm a man with two wives and kids. I'd rather be with my family than drink.

I drove straight to Leaden Castle in a dirt house.

“Let's put this on, too. Aren't these earrings pretty? ”

“Yes.”

I hung the ring, the earring, the necklace, and the ragged sheath.

She was so pretty that she could wear any accessory.

“It's different from the one on the Baden River. ”

Armed with more jewelry than cis (?) One Julia mutters joyfully.

“Of course. I only bought the good stuff with the good eye of my body. ”

“Hehe, again, pretending to be smart. But you really only buy elegance. ”

“Right?"

“Yes, but when did he learn how to pick precious metals again? Like someone who went crazy and bought a bunch of jewelry for a girl. ”

“ ……. ”

“Why aren't you saying anything? Oh! Really?! You've been there! ”

“What the hell, that's nonsense? ”

“Ah? You stuttered?! ”

“Son, you misunderstand something. You're the only women in my life. I swear. Okay?”

“What would that be? Tell me when you say something nice. ”

Yeah, I was married once. So you're married to a divorced man?

Julia opens her axe eyes and asks for a skewer. I had to explain for a long time without sweating. Julia gives you a pointy look and nods.

“Fine. Let's not joke about that. ”

“Are you kidding me?! ”

Scary kid!

“Hohoho, of course. Since the Kunts were poor before they met us, there's no way they had the money to buy jewelry. And he couldn't even get close to her because she was so claustrophobic. Did you forget I proposed first? ”

No, that's true, but something's sad!

Julia smiles at me with a furious look. I wrapped my arms around my neck and hugged him.

“Are you angry? ”

“I'm not angry. ”

“Oh, my voice went up a little bit. ”

“Yes, actually, I'm angry. You know, this guy's a real pain in the ass. I'm a guttersnipe. ”

“Aigoo. I'm just glad to see you. And……. ”

“And what? ”

“It was so cool without seeing my husband. It goes in the belly. ”

That said, I was semi-colored.

“Right? I went to work hard at my workout. ”

“It's so cool to be thin. I think I'm in love with him again... ”

I fell in love with Julia's seemingly eclectic love. Aw, you little cutie. You can't be mad at me!

We laughed and chatted about the baby supplies I bought. My dear boy, Julia used to burst her elasticity into her shoes. Sis also laughed rarely and looked at the cradle.

Ah, it's so good to be home.
