Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

168 Road to Chelsea Terawalos # 3

"What did Viscount Yamano start doing business? No, the stores would have been open long ago?"

In a report from a subordinate, the King said so with a suspicious face ...

"No, it's not a small retail sale at that store where you rarely see a store opening, but a large-scale wholesale. It seems like direct transportation by small high-speed ship in your home country, an emerging company Seems to have bought exclusively ... "

“What… ..is it going through the regular process?”

"Yes, our regular trading company buys it and the tax procedure is properly done."

Then it is the job of the department in charge and the King does not need to do anything. It's more problematic to say ... or to do extra work.

"I don't need to worry. If the Viscount earns some profits and brings merchandise and tax revenue to our country, we would be very welcome. It doesn't hurt.

Isn't it possible to find out the country of the Viscount if you look back at the import route of the product?

And the journey of the Viscount is over? Then, will you start attending the party again ... "

When the King began to think of his next move, his men blocked it.

"Of course, at the time I got the rumor, I stuck a researcher.

It seems that a small high-speed sailing ship from your home country is used for transportation to Japan. It seems that all of the hulls and outfittings were shiny new, like a new ship.

Then, she seems to enter the port at midnight and depart at midnight the next day, and since no one is looking at the site, it is not clear which direction she came or left. Also, I couldn't talk to the crew, and I couldn't find any information, even the language used.

Cargo handling and transportation from the port are handled by a firm that has an exclusive contract, and it is impossible to obtain information from it. Misumi: There is no way to imitate losing such a business partner, ordinary workers do not know anything, and the work manager does not talk at all. Well, of course ...

As expected, it is too early to make a false accusation and torture ... "

"Dumb, don't imitate it, absolutely!"

The king who hastily stopped the subordinate's ridiculous words.

"And this is the imported product ..."

What a subordinate man passed through the king's words.

Apparently, the previous words were a joke. It is a great man to say such words to the king. Do you have enough boldness or do you know anything scary?

But it's not ridiculous. If you were an idiot, you couldn't be here right now.

And the words of the man follow.

"Spices, other seasonings, and a lot of other luxury items. From rare items that are only transported in small quantities from distant countries, to salt, sugar, etc. Unusual food to do ...

However, they are all of the highest quality and are only items that compete with the top stores of the aristocracy. Not only rare spices, but also alcohol, salt, and sugar ... "

"What, what!"

"And at a lower price than the market."

“…………”

After a moment of silence, the king noticed something unexpected.

"Is there a column in the import notification that says the country of export? What's going on there?"

However, the subordinate's reply was not good.

"Has been written" Nihon "..."

"Japan? A country I've never heard of. Where is it?"

"I've heard of it ... Of course, I asked a detailed person to investigate it, but nobody knows ...

However, merchant ships sometimes carry goods from distant countries, and under Japanese law, if you pay tax properly, even if you purchase goods in a distant unknown country, it is not illegal. "

It's a country that doesn't care about barbarian looting, so it doesn't matter where you got it. As long as it brings benefits.

So, even if the goods were plundered by attacking any country or ship, there was no problem unless the other party was a country with formal diplomacy and there was evidence of plunder. . So it doesn't matter if the name of the exporting country doesn't even exist. As long as you pay taxes properly.

"I guess the name will be turned down for a while now, but that's okay, because if you start a big deal, you'll soon hear a formal diplomacy and state-led trade. Until then, she would conduct a pilot trade to verify her country's merchandise and verify her country's commerce and merchants' creditworthiness.

Watch out for a stupid merchant to prevent your daughter from doing extra work. If anyone is a little sick, warn. And if it tastes good, make sure that the royal family can drink the sweet juice. ''

"Hah!"

The King does not run the company himself, nor can he favor certain merchants in terms of position.

However, aristocrats are merchants who are socializing, merchants who are based on their own territories, and some of them are merchants whose aristocrats are substantial owners. Inducing profits greatly contributes to loyalty and cohesion. Around that time was the king who followed closely.

And this subordinate seemed to be in a position to be able to enjoy the spill, and he replied happily, but of course, the King has tolerated that much. It was not necessarily embezzlement, so it was a natural consideration for seizure of subordinates.

"Okay, so let's get in touch at the party. Check out the party where Viscount Yamano will come next, and turn around the organizers and refrain from attending Count Wonrade and Viscount Efred."

"Hah!"

* *

Well, it ’s been a long time since the party ... The diet is a little bit more effective, and I can manage to hook the skirt, and be careful not to eat too full or drink sweet juice in the future.

Today's party is an army faction, but it is hosted by an Earl of a different faction from Marquis Mitchell.

It is a well-known fact that the party I attend is chosen by Marquis Mitchell. So it's a bit too explicit to go out to the party of the Marquis faction too blatantly, and occasionally to other factions.

I guess the Japanese Cabinet would have to choose a minister from opposition factions within the party. ……Perhaps. That's a lot difficult.

It's been a long time since the party was attending, and trade has already spread, so today I feel like I'm going to be able to talk a lot about it.

In the same country, it is troublesome to trade with various firms little by little in the same country. I am an aristocrat and not a merchant, so I would like to insist that I don't want to be bothered by detailed transactions in order to slightly increase or decrease profits.

Today is the party of another faction, so Marc Mitchell will be attending. ...... It seems that I'm worried about letting me go alone. Mainly in the direction of being made a strange promise or being forced on some stupid son.

…… In other words, “Because this is our house, do not steal! ], And follow the eye to shine.

Other factions are not separate enemies of Fugu Daiten, but there are also relatively close factions, neutral factions, and friends who have crossed factions. It seems that relatives and the military have the same unit, senior officer and subordinate relations, and there are various things, so it seems that they do not only go to parties of their own faction. In fact, factions don't seem to matter very much, especially for children's birthday parties.

, And among them, today's organizer seems to be a faction with relatively high hostility.

…… What is that?

Well, the marquis will follow.

Thanks to that, today I'm supposed to be piggybacking on the Marquis' carriage instead of the chartered carriage.

But he said he had walked to the Marquis Marquis and was angry.

That's good, from our local store to the Marquis, it's not enough to use a chartered carriage.

In addition, if you ride a Tsuji carriage in this style, you will be surprised.

Goodbye, then, with Marquis Mitchell, Shuppa!
