The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

At the end of the funeral, the merchants and civilians were gathered in the royal palace as scheduled.

"Depending on --, price control shall be carried out."

The subject matter is the prohibition of an increase in the price of luggage.

We can't let anything like what happened in Marquis Warwick happen on a kingdom scale.

If that happens, Isaac's fame will fall to earth.

I didn't want to be named King of Fools, comparable to Jason.

"Those who are worried may run to buy."In that case, I would like you to spare no expense in selling what is in the warehouse to the store.If you know that there are no products, those who were watching will rush to buy.As a result, it becomes difficult to stop the chaos.There may be soaring purchasing prices, so if the maximum is about 20%, the price may not be allowed to rise. "

― ― Around 20% said that they would allow the price to rise, but if they received it exactly as they said it would, they could raise the price to the nearest limit.

That was the common recognition of those listening to Isaac.

In essence, it is an order not to raise prices.

Now that Elias is dead, I understand that you don't want to disrupt the Reed Kingdom.

I understand, but some people were unhappy with the one-sided order.

"I will comply with Lord Enfield's request.But is that all? "

One of the merchants implicitly said, "Is there no return for cooperation?” he asks.

I will cooperate.

I will, but I cannot remain silent just because I am ordered to.

It could be damaged.

If you can't expect a certain return, you don't need to be proactive.

We just act for the maintenance and development of the Chamber of Commerce.

That's why I asked if there was anything I could do in return.

The questioned Isaac was calm as if he had assumed this question.

The attitude seemed creepy to those present.

"You will be rewarded for doing business safely."

"Are you safe...?"

It doesn't look like it's pinching at all.

No way, if you refuse to cooperate, the state will not take over the property.

The merchants were rivals, but they also had strong horizontal connections.

If you make such threats, you will turn your enemies against the cooperative Chamber of Commerce.

I didn't think Isaac would do such a stupid thing.

However, judging by the words, it is likely to fall into the category of intimidation.

I think it would be better to stop listening to the continuation, but I couldn't stop.

Isaac said the next word.

"Yes, it's safe. If there's a chaos like the one in Marquis Warwick's realm across the Reed Kingdom, there's bound to be a riot."At that time, it should be the warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce that is targeted by the people.But I will not protect you. "

What the hell!

"Lord Warwick didn't go into the business of dealing with merchants."Probably because I knew the merchants were in charge of logistics. ”

“Then why are you abandoned?Don't you see, Lord Enfield? "

“I know. That's why.If we leave someone who can manage the operation of the carriage and the warehouse, that is, the head, etc., we will manage.If the entire Reed Kingdom fell into chaos, even if we were to uproot the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and his family, it would be a mistake to affect the situation.Rather, we may proactively execute them to console the people.His Majesty Elias' fate of killing the avenger of the Reed Kingdom is still valid. "

Isaac laughs fufufu.

With that cold smile, the merchants froze their spines.

- Isaac would really do it.

Isaac's actions have earned him unpleasant trust.

That's what makes you absolutely sure.

“It's still a threat,” the merchant receives.

"But I will protect you if you don't back me up or twist my words."You can continue to do business without feeling your life is in danger when there could be a national upheaval.It's not a bad story, is it? "

"That's... That's right."I have only asked questions.Please do not misunderstand that this was not a statement in return. ”

“I know. If you have any questions, it's only natural to ask.You are welcome to speak without hatred.I will make it clear that I will not punish you for what you have said, nor will I make it worse for you. "

That should have been it, this was Isaac's work.

If someone close to the Chamber of Commerce, such as the Grey Chamber of Commerce, speaks up, they'll know it's a trick.

That's why I looked for allies through the Grey Chamber of Commerce.

If Isaac says it first, it will be bought as a one-sided press.

However, he pierces the nail by asking the merchant to give him something in return.

In that case, I thought it would be somewhat soothing, even though I might have some objection to it.

This was an imitation of the entrance of the Marquis of Wilmente and the Baron of Cunningham.

But it wasn't just a nail.

I also prepared something in return.

“Anyone who deals with Neuilly Eisen, you know, is starting to build a railroad in this country.In the future, it will be laid in the Reed Kingdom as well.It is also a national policy to be implemented on a ten-year basis.Of course, we will need a lot of supplies and people.We'll have everyone collect it.Please do it again. "

― ― Activity on a national scale that is considered on a 10-year basis.

In other words, Isaac said that he would not make a pause, but leave it to me to make a thin, long, and profitable job.

It would be great to be able to accept large-scale state projects.

If we can calculate the continuous income, the way the Chamber of Commerce operates will also change.

And most of all, it's good for the country.

If we can cooperate in the development of the country, the next proof of the king will be better.

If we follow Isaac's request, we will temporarily lose a great deal of profit.

But if there is a way to gain long-term profits without buying unnecessary resentment, it is the human mind that wants to jump in.

"If you're going to be punished...", she said, trying to comply with Isaac's request.

"I don't just give orders unilaterally."I will never forget my debt.Yes, speaking of debt, I have not forgotten that the Chamber of Commerce paid its donations voluntarily when rescuing the Fartyl Kingdom.If the request is ignored by the person himself or herself, but if a relative such as the daughter's bride-in-law is ignored, it will not be made to sit in a row.We will be considerate to those who know they are patriots. "

Isaac didn't just give orders.

I valued my autonomy.

Therefore, I did not forget the efforts that made me want to cooperate on my own (...).

"It is rumored that Uncle Brandar betrayed him, and that he was sent to the Count of Brandar."I'd like to make a donation of food for the army. "

One of the chairmen of the chamber of commerce offered to make a donation.

This was also Isaac's work.

Those who have not yet donated will also make a donation.

I can control my actions, but I don't know the actions of other chambers of commerce with which I have a close relationship.

Those who were stupid enough to be driven by their immediate greed were actively trying to insure (...).

"I can't tell you more about the military operation, but I would appreciate a donation."However, the priority should be to ensure that there is no shortage of supplies for the people to buy.Donate as much as you can afford.I want you to remember that.And I and the government will never forget that. ”

Voluntarily offer (...) to donate supplies or funds.

Isaac was waiting for this flow.

Based on past reflections, the national treasury has more room than when we sent reinforcements to the Fartyr Kingdom.

Nevertheless, no matter how much money you have, you won't be bothered if you consider rewarding the nobility.

The idea of collecting donations on a voluntary basis without dissatisfaction seemed to work.

"The next king's candidate will be decided soon.It was just a little patience. I personally would like to work well with you guys.This request is conveyed not only to the vicinity of the capital, but also to various places.However, I want the merchants to pay attention to their peers, and the faces of the players to tell the residents to feel safe.I don't want to be nostalgic for the routine that has always been commonplace.We'll do our best, I promise. "

Isaac wrapped up the meeting.

----------

(I thought I could leave this kind of work to Marquis Windsor...)

Isaac remembered what happened earlier.

As long as you put Kunroku in the merchants, you don't have to be Isaac the next king.

But the Marquis of Windsor declined.

I have to understand the current situation.... by the way, people are well known for their personalities, and they have handrails.It would be best for that person to do it. "

That's what I left Isaac to do.

Assigning work to someone who could do it was an unwanted outcome for Isaac who wanted to make it easier for himself.

However, it was a necessary task, so I reluctantly did it.

(When you become king, say, "The king cannot move lightly," and leave it to someone else.)

Isaac is determined to do so in his chest.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done in order to have a relaxed and comfortable life.

The Countess of Brandar left after the funeral to wait for the results.

At the moment, we have to solve the problem that bothers us the most.

As a result, Isaac went to Count Cooper's office.

Because there was something he had to check.

Count Cooper was busy, but he didn't refuse a sudden visit.

Because I thought Isaac wouldn't make a meaningless visit.

How were the merchants?

"Don't worry, you've made a difference."Suddenly, I'm sorry, but I have a job to do. ”

"Lord Enfield's requests are always bad to the heart, so I'm scared..." I'll take it. "

Probably confidential, so the two of us go into a separate room for confidential discussions.

Because of Count Cooper, who seemed to be busy, Isaac quickly cut out the problem.

“Actually, my wife Pamela is showing signs of pregnancy.”

"Well, well, congratulations."

"So, there's something I'd like you to look into confidentially about Baroness Nettlehalls."

“What does it look like?”

I heard it back, but Count Cooper imagined it from Pamela.

"It's whether she has any signs of pregnancy.This will change the timing of her execution. ”

"I see... you mean you have to deal with it before your stomach grows bigger..."

In response to Isaac's request, Count Cooper put his arms around him.

--Jason and Nicole's children are abominable.

--but he is also a child who inherits the blood of his immediate royal family.

It wasn't an easy decision to make.

“In her case, it was a question of whether she was Jason's child.She has confused many men.I don't know if it's really Jason's child.Can such a child be recognized as the heir to the Reed Royal Family...... "

"Oh, sure. Were you worried?"If you think about it, you may need to take early action. ”

"When the mourning begins, it will be less noticeable for about three months, but when it is four or five months, the swelling of the stomach will be noticeable.Execute if there are any signs of pregnancy, beyond the fact that there is no way to know who the father of the child is.It will prevent the ugliness of the Reed Royal Family. ”

- The queen may be pregnant with a child other than King Jason.

This rumor will surely scar the name of Reed the Royal.

Isaac has no reason to spread such rumors.

If it could be prevented beforehand, I thought it would be better than that.

"The prison tower is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice.I want you to order the lady who takes care of the Baroness Nettlehalls to look into it. ”

"Very well, I'll give you instructions."It's best if there's no sign of pregnancy... "

"Yes, it's more likely that you're Jason's child."I don't want to imitate royalty in my hands.But we also want to avoid unnecessary confusion.We'll have to make sure. ”

"It's hard, but I can't help it..."

"I believe that her execution will begin at the dawn, but if it is sooner, we must give proper reasons."Please pay attention to the crime, such as cooperating in the seizure. "

Count Cooper was asked to do what he expected.

But it was also a job that had to be done.

If Isaac got Pamela pregnant, it wouldn't be strange if Nicole, who was married earlier, was pregnant.

(Because it is a bad job, you should know that it is not a good time to run away.I'm a coward.)

I knew it somewhere in my head, but it was a problem I didn't want to think about.

Count Cooper was ashamed of himself as he finally tried to make a move when he dared to pinpoint a problem he was turning a blind eye to.
