Sweet Reincarnation
222 Stories Factory Tour
"Now, please follow me so that I don't fall off."
Pais walks through the newcomers like a general visit by the director of an old giant hospital. Not that I'm great, but when I show you a special place in the realm, there are only a few people who can do it.
Young people in at least the first or second year do not have enough knowledge to do their part. That's why Pace is leading the group. The picture of a small boy walking with successful military-educated youths is somewhere like a scene of drama.
"What I'm going to show you is where we relate to our confidential matters. I know this is all the more true for all of you who have learned about this hand in school, but I will be careful not to speak out even if you are a parent brother from now on. I don't know where your ears are, so don't tell the seniors until they're talking about it. In our house, penalties for confidential leaks are the highest and up to the death penalty. Dealing with it with severe punishment is our way of doing it, so don't forget."
severe punishment, Pais confronts them with a serious face when he strikingly finds a newcomer who was trying to listen around the
"By the way, this is not a threat. As a matter of reality, work was being done from other houses to steal our secrets, and this is why the punishment is severe. Not to mention bribery and color tricks, but also crying and intimidation with the emotions of flesh parents. So much for the confidentiality of our home. In order to cope, it is above all important that each person feels firm. So be prepared that even the first offender has no room for commutation of sentence or extenuating circumstance. If they're after you, they're after you, the sweet ones beside you."
Newcomers with a slight eye for Pace's words and attitude. Because I understood that this wasn't really just a word of caution.
In fact, the Mortairn family has many matters to keep secret. For example, that Pais can [transcribe] the magic of others.
Magic is a talent that can only be given to a very limited number of human beings, with powerful powers without exception. It's the only trump card for a wizard who can use magic, and no one can imitate it, so it's a birthright.
But in Pace's case, destroy this common sense.
Being able to use the magic of others means that only one person in the world, only Pais, can take away his vested rights. There's nothing more horrible to talk about. For other wizards, or those in power who profit from magic, they are subject to whatever they want to destroy at the expense of. In this world, vested interests are almost equals to nobility and royalty. Worst of all, you could turn the whole world against your enemies.
Alternatively, a method of making confectionery.
The Mortairn family's income continues to rise on its right shoulder even as it stands, but when it comes to where this source is, it is in the sweets. Improvements in the environment in the territory and the reconstruction of the eastern regions have progressed, agricultural productivity has improved significantly, commodity crops, starting with sugar and corn, produce primary processed products, such as sugar and alcohol and flour, and secondary processed products, such as sweets with which it is used, are profitable. Improvements in the production capacity of the territory, or economic power, are being made for sweets. Sweets for All, All for sweets. It's all for sweets.
Not only in the Kingdom of God, but in this world things like technology and knowledge are kept secret. How to cook, for example. In a world where there are no cookbooks or recipe sites, I don't know how to cook from the ground up until someone tells me. Whatever the method of picking the stock (von), what are the ingredients, what tools are available and what procedure should I follow? There is no such thing as a human being who can do it from the beginning without being taught. Even the way materials are distinguished, without any examination and without teaching, there is no such thing as a human being who can be born.
Not to mention that if that knowledge were to produce a lot of money, this would have to pile up a lot of money for those who teach already. Or try to steal knowledge at all costs.
Knowledge learns and technology has no choice but to imitate. Without prior permission. But in a world where there are no patents, no design rights, no antitrust laws, those who imitate at will just have to cry and fall asleep. Or is it deterrent by thorough retaliation?
Technological and knowledge takeovers sometimes develop to war. Even as a Mortairn family, it is difficult to be destroyed the foundations of economic power by the rampant imposition of imitations and similar products, and the secrecy of knowledge about confectionery becomes an absolute condition.
For this reason, baked confectionery and the like, which are easy to imitate, were made so that copycats could be convicted under the authority of the Mortairn family by burning the crest. Merely baked confectionery is a cry-breathing even if it is imitated, but imitation of the crest is the logic that it is illegal even in the light of national law. The Mortairn family's determination is firm that there is no need to condone it if it is illegal.
If necessary, it is a boy named Pais who is prepared not to quit the war for treats either.
Or a defense plan.
It is your duty to prepare the Mortairn family against its neighbors. (i) Because the Baron family is facing one country against another, it takes creativity to cope.
Trap, build hidden fortifications, delude the power of war, tour conspiracies, etc. Either way, it doesn't work if the enemy finds out what it is or what it is about. No, on the contrary, they take it backwards. We must therefore make sure that the enemy does not know what the Mortairns are prepared for. Military secrecy must remain a secret at all costs only if it comes to the lives of the people and their own people.
Since it is a house with many secrets to the lord, I also notice what I teach the newcomers. What to teach and what to hide. I can never teach you the magical truth about Pais or anything else, but if you don't know the rest of it, it interferes with your job.
I have to tell you where to guard, and I can't help you in an emergency if I tell you what to do when you have to. That means I have to tell you some confidentiality.
How far do you teach the newcomers hired yesterday? It's important to add and subtract teaspoons.
"This is one of the most sensitive places in the Mortairn family."
Pais first showed the newcomers to the brewery. It's a unique atmosphere with a pungent smell of alcohol on the nose and full of dimness that avoids sunlight.
With regard to this brewing, as a paste, it is only a waste use that we consider as a by-product of the sugar industry, but for some humans this is the mountain of treasure.
When making sweets, liqueurs may still be used as a source of distilled liquor or derivatives thereof. So Pais also had some knowledge of this hand. It is a delicious combination of alcoholic beverages, or how to make better distilled liquors, etc. It was a degree of knowledge heard, but knowledge is the difference between a cloud mud at zero and one. Even if it is half-breed knowledge, there are paces that knew how to distill, age, or make liqueurs, and there are sugars that can easily boost alcohol content, and there are a lot of soldiers with no eyes for alcohol. The liquor industry has also grown into an industry that is splendidly responsible for a wing of economic development.
Naturally, it is also a hunk of confidentiality.
"Just for the location of this place is no use out of mouth, especially the raw materials and their quantities are the result of trial and error and are our valuable technical secret (know-how). I'll press precautions on top of each other, but I'll deal with leaked people with severe punishment, so don't give them extra curiosity though. I will only give the necessary knowledge to the person in charge of the work here"
"Teach... Honestly, Master Pastry, can't you do a tasting?
Prowl, the rookie delegate, said a good thing. At least it was a statement representing the majority of the newcomers' opinions, and I'm looking at Pais around with anticipation.
Boulders are chief graduates. It is a brilliant response, good at reading the air. Unless you just want a drink.
"I have trouble getting drunk from the first tour, so I can't try it. … you can drink at a discount if you go to a tavern, and that would be fine"
All the newcomers looked dissatisfied with Pace's words.
There is a certain number of liquor lovers in the world, and there is an equally certain number of liquor haters. If you normally think about it, no wonder some of the newcomers don't like alcohol.
But when it comes to newcomers, everyone likes booze. Instead, if you go through boarding and cadet school eating and drinking, you will often like alcohol. Sometimes there are many physical people with strong alcohol racially, but in a different dimension, because there is a reason.
Why many liquor lovers. That lies in what they have in common, namely the peculiar circumstances of boarding officer schools.
Even though boarding officers schools are facilities for students, for some reason there are always large quantities of wine and other liquors. Unlike sour cheap wines, which are common in the world, it is also a luxury product where alcohol feels solid.
The reason we stockpile that stuff is because we use it when we train in places that deteriorate even when we carry water or where drinking fresh water is dangerous. It is also used for medical purposes. In places where clean water is precious or where there is only muddy or swampy rotten water, you can also wash your wounds with alcohol.
Wine is also effective in raising morale or dispelling fear and cowardice (today). At least the vast majority of instructors believe it to be effective. It's like a stimulant.
In some cases, it is an unusual use of cold protection. It prevents frostbite and builds resistance to cold by promoting blood circulation through drinking. It is not uncommon for a teacher to talk about experiences such as winter, mountainous areas, cholo and picked up his life with the liquor he had hidden.
In other words, as munitions, booze is well used. As a result, bad wines and the like are regularly replaced, and students help “dispose” of them.
In an environment of cadet schools where the worst of unsavory foods and drinks prevail over quality, only wine can drink good or better. Exceptionally, alcohol is not restricted to food and drink, so quality is guaranteed.
In other words, in the midst of hard and painful training and study, there may be enough good preferences, entertainment.
Days of training and study close to torture without entertainment. A gray youth with almost no colour but a man. A little consolation there is booze. Only one hope is alcohol. For a human other than having a lover.
A man who can drink, a man who can enjoy, can live a student life in a much better mental state than a man who can't. It means that liquor lovers are also mass-produced.
I want to try it. Whatever, I want to drink genuinely painful.
Such are the newcomers who can't hide their cloudy desires to call them hope.
Their mood was understandable because it is a well-perceived paice.
"... ok. After today's tour and explanation, I will allow you to try it."
"Thanks!!
My jolly newcomers. What you need to have is a talking boss.
"Ma'am, if you're still that energetic,"
"Huh?"
Apparently, Pace's disturbing whining could not be heard except by the prowl he was used to.
Behind Pais, who continues to guide her as if nothing had happened, are young people who are happy to be able to try. innocent, worldless young people who don't know to doubt people. It will be from now on that they will be baptized by the Mortairn family. It's a sad story.
Once you've finished describing the facility and the basic brewing process, the newcomers will start asking questions. The strength of intellectual curiosity around here and the strength of upliftment would be elite. Many people who can ask precise questions are still said to be smart.
"I wonder how much they make here."
"Currently, our liquor industry produces sixty barrels per year. I'm actually making a little more, but I've decided that commercial applications are sixty as a minimum quantity that can be produced stably, as this is still a stage where we continue to make trials and errors in quality and production processes. Seventy percent of them are consumed within the territory, and ten percent are self-consumed. The rest are exported via the Nata Chamber of Commerce. Nearly all of them are exported to Wang and Nandu."
"Are you planning to scale up your brewery?
For the newcomers, I'd expect the brewery to grow in size. If we can do this, we want them to use us as personnel for it. I can see that thought.
However, Pais shook his head sideways.
"There isn't. Fathers and Shiites always want to scale up, but the expansion of liquor breweries is limited for three reasons."
"What are those three reasons?
"One is the constraints on raw materials. At home, I take the lead in growing and producing corn, but as I know, Mortarn territory has little precipitation. Calling it the Eastern Region, the former Liptauer territory is somewhat better, but still water resource constraints are strong and will dry up as soon as it does not operate in a planned manner. There are limits to trying to make more ingredients. Also, the raw ingredients that make sugar are corn, so it is fundamentally contrary to the sugar and confectionery industries. The current state of good fruition in the confectionery business, less sugar and more booze will reduce our income. That makes no sense. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's better to cut back on the brewing... because almost everyone in the house is strongly opposed to it, so the status quo is maintained."
Originally Mortarn territory was poor and even daily meat and bread were suspicious of self-sufficiency rather than alcohol. That's where the booze became self-sufficient. If you're not even a person who burns your passion for sweets like Pace, you usually strive for a steady income from liquor brewing.
Pace is convinced that confectionery making will be gold. But if you try to be other human, an unknown industry with no ahead of you. There is also great anxiety about how long the good economy will last, just something no one has ever done before. It would be extremely natural for a commonsense person to want to invest in a stable and earnable brewer.
The result of common sense and insanity is now.
"The second is a constraint on confidentiality. As I pressed my precautions on top of each other, our most important challenge is confidentiality. Make it liquor, make it sugar, big capital... no, robbery and imitation by the great nobles must be greatly alarmed. In fact, there are several houses that have been diagnosing the purchase of manufacturing laws under threat, and it is the situation in which our houses are located that frequently enter and leave not only domestic nobility, but even spies from other countries. So the liquor industry also has to take all the confidentiality measures it can, but if it gets bigger, that's how easy it is to leak secrets. It's full of scale now."
Pais said that and slammed the wall.
The boy didn't dare speak, but the building where he makes booze and sugar has confidentiality measures. It is easy to understand that there are no windows to peek into from the outside, and that complex routes are available from the entrance to the manufacturing location. Although the name suggests that alcohol is susceptible to direct sunlight and has undergone an impressive build-up on the spot.
Other than that, there are magic measures on the wall.
When it comes to magic measures, there's a metal buried in the wall called light gold in a mesh. Light gold, which has been specially processed based on years of research results, inhibits magic.
Light gold is a metal that is also used in rituals such as Holy Separation. It has a very high affinity with magic, and if it's something people touch, it has the properties to suck as much magic as it can and increase mass. Close to chemical reactions where copper and magnesium are linked to oxygen to increase mass. Leaving it alone will also remove magic over time, which is different from chemical reactions.
Light gold, which is commonly thought to be used to measure the amount of magic, is also treasured as a building material due to its nature. Magic is like fuel in using magic, so magic is used without exception. It is an observational fact in which no single exception has existed in past history, for example, Pais being one of them. It is academic common sense that, although it has not been proven definitively to be absolute, it has definitely been observed on a global scale for more than hundreds of years without exception.
In other words, if the magic is completely sucked away, the magic doesn't work.
Neither does Casserole's [instantaneous travel] activate inside enclosed with this metal, so neither booze nor angel's share increases above normal, meaning that Shiites with the Peeping Demon alias cannot peek inside.
Although it is an excellent magic measure actively used in the Royal Palace and elsewhere, naturally shortcomings also exist. Light gold production is extremely low and too scarce. I mean, expensive like an idiot. Even gems and pure gold are expensive enough to be sumptuous. Assuming you compare market prices for gold and light gold, there is about a difference between a toy minicar and a real sports car.
One theory is natural magic. It is also said that it can be mined if there are coincidental goldmine veins, but light gold, which originally has far less reserves than gold. That would be enough for a rare value, but mining is also difficult. Ordinary precious metals can help wizards to mine and refine, but light gold makes it useless without using the magic of the passage ahead. Mining and refining must therefore be carried out without relying on magic from one to ten, besides the high melting point as a metallic characteristic. In addition, if you touch it poorly, the mass will change, which makes the machining more special.
Metal with an annual budget-lined value for the Count Territory even if it is about the size of a AA battery. It was not easy to say how Pais was prepared to cover the building, albeit meshy.
If the magic measures were to carry out production activities in monkey establishments, technology would soon be stolen by the great noblemen and others with wizards who were good at gathering information.
Prepared by Pais, who spares no sacrifice or effort for treats, over time on a yearly basis. That's the wall for confidentiality.
The building I'm in to explain now is actually in the basement. It is a brewing facility for “topical confidentiality” that can be explained to newcomers who have just entered, and there is a real sugar industry facility hidden underground. It is like teaching that if there is a potun and a place of strict security where there is nothing, there is a secret there, but it is a belly that if a strict security system is laid down to protect apparent confidentiality, it is easier to do the security of fate as well.
It is more correct that we have not prepared an antimagic building for brewing liquor, but that we are brewing liquor to camouflage the antimagic building. But I don't tell newcomers until such a backstory. Because it is true that confidentiality is shackled by production expansion.
"And the third is... it's a corner, let's hear it. Does anybody have any ideas?
A gift of about a year's teaching role, or the next lord to start educating the newcomers quickly and all the time. The newcomers are confused by the sudden question.
Only one hand up was Prohore, an experienced person who had been coaching Pais for nearly a year.
"Well, Prohor, try to answer that."
"Eh, maybe I'm wrong, but isn't it because I can't sell it even if I make a lot of it? If you want to make it and sell it as much as you make it, someone else will already be doing it."
"Correct. The boulder is the chief graduate."
For a voice of praise, a pro-hole that honestly shows how it illuminates. I'm not used to being praised just because I have a past where I was originally inferior.
"As he said, the third constraint is a demand constraint. If it's in our territory, the alcohol we make is competitive enough. At any rate, we decide on taxes, so we can multiply our alcohol by plenty of taxes on alcohol elsewhere than our own, and only our alcohol can be tax free. Remember, this hand policy is a natural act as a lord to protect our industry. In addition, the cost of transportation is minimal in the Territory."
The newcomers nod deeply at Pace's explanation. Industrial protection policies are quite small and are carried out in every territory, and the industries in their territory are basically given preferential treatment over imports if they know of the danger of relying on everything in other houses and territories.
"But this can be said of other territories as well. You can't sell our liquor in other territories. Unless it is so famous, other places protect alcohol made elsewhere. You may think you can sell it to land that doesn't make booze, but that kind of place is something that existing forces are consolidating with disappointing vested rights. In other words, even if we make liquor for export, it is scarce in demand for sales. This is where it differs from the confectionery and sugar industries that have no competitors. As it stands, it produces sufficient quantities to satisfy domestic demand in the territory, and more than that, it costs and takes time to sell. We also export to some extent as a margin (buffer), but it's hard to say that we make a profit from direct exports."
"I see."
"Three more. Insufficient ingredients, no more equipment, difficult to sell. For these reasons, we have determined that the rapid expansion of the liquor industry is difficult. Father understands, so do everyone who works."
"Yes, I understand"
The young people's chants are aligned. It is a gift of education, but it also means that it has not yet been stained with the Mortairn family's home style in terms of feeling stubborn.
Lucky story.
"As you will also understand, of course, that the fact that we are making alcohol in our territory is of great political significance. Among other things, when negotiating with a house with strong liquor and social strengths, it will be the difference between cloud mud"
What Pace said like last time. This is not like teaching a rookie if he's in another house. In the first place, there may be fewer houses themselves as you understand them, but that is not the same story as this.
If you have the fact that you are making alcohol in your territory, it is quite advantageous when buying alcohol from elsewhere. The aristocratic society occupies a very large proportion of the fortune, but what it takes to connect the fortune is social. Frequent acquaintances are often stronger connections than distant relatives they have never met. And what is used in social settings is food and drink. In particular, alcohol is also a special effect of socializing that makes people rap.
In other words, the occasions when alcohol must be prepared are frequent for the aristocrats.
When preparing liquor, we assume that the conditions on the part of the seller are equal and compare the situation that you absolutely have to buy it with the situation that you buy it if it is a better condition than the alternative you have as insurance. It's more obvious than seeing fire, such as which buyer is stronger. Of course, it's stronger to have alternatives.
This point is also why Pais cannot completely move the liquor industry to the sugar industry. A comparison of the industrial structure within the territory and the political benefits gained thereby. Perhaps the newcomers have never thought about it before.
Newcomers who have specially learned to fight as military personnel. Becoming a servant of the Mortairn family demands a more multilateral view of things.
Intense guided tour inside.
And the end is waiting.
"Oh, yeah. It's a corner, so let's try to give you a little bit of experience."
"Is this an experience?
"Yeah. Make it a liquor. Make it a sugar, the first part is common. If you go through it, it's going to help."
"Okay."
Pais leads the newcomers to a certain place.
It's where you squeeze the ingredients from the brewery, starting with the sugar corn.
Although Moroccan liquor is the dominant alcoholic beverage in Mortarn territory, it is also made in very small quantities from berries, imported grapes, etc. A unique scent-filled place, such as a sweet, sour, or blue smell.
"Now, everyone, take off your clothes."
"Huh?"
"For hygiene control, we need to get dressed, so we can all get naked and wash our bodies there with care. You're lucky there aren't any women in this year's rookie."
Temperature and hygiene control are important in breweries. Soldier-educated, tight-bodied youths wash their bodies naked without a thread. And change into the clean clothes that were available. They even have hats and masks, so newcomers who don't have a modern hygiene view are just confused.
"Here, do the juice first. Only this part is common in sugar making and liquor making, so remember it well. I'll tell you in advance, it's pretty heavy labor."
The juicer used in the Mortairn family is a helix type. It is a device that squeezes large quantities of raw material at once with the power of a helix. High capacity and high efficiency. It has not been used by Dada for a long time. If there were any shortcomings, it would be necessary to have the strength compared to the Tsuko formula and so on.
"Should I turn this around?
A juicer that one of the newcomers found for his purpose. I can see it everywhere I use it. It was definitely something I used everyday.
"No, it's a corner, so I need you to use this one."
That said, ahead of what Pace showed, there was a juicer that was much bigger than what I would normally use.
"It's a good thing I ordered a high-capacity one in an attempt to improve efficiency, but it ended up being something you had in store when it was too big and overmanned. It would be a shame not to use all these men's hands."
A very bright smile on the Lords' behalf. Prowl and others, who have been dating for nearly a year, tried to escape a bad feeling.
But I got surrounded. I can't escape confectionery madness.
"So do you want to do it fast? It's the first one, so lightly...... let it be for about two hours. It's a juice experience, a start."
The next day, the newcomers were all devastated by terrible muscle aches.
