Tilly Hill.

From the territorial capital Wellrod, it is a mining city four days away by carriage.

Since it is in the hilly area, it is not possible to go straight from the territorial capital.

To Tilly Hill, head northeast on Wellrod territory, via the commercial city Tailor on the border.

The whole road was a series of ordeals for Isaac.

To the point where I feel unintentionally "as my mother and grandmother put it, it was still early for my kids".

Especially the road from the commercial city of Tailor to Tilly Hill was terrible.

To such an extent that it is not comparable to the road to the Wang capital and has been maintained for the time being.

After all, it was rough enough not to compare to the main roads.

The most painful part was that all the caregivers' servants were men.

If I had a young maid like Shelley, I could call her "to withstand the swing of the carriage" and hold her, but I don't want to do that to the guy.

The request to go with the maid is hard to say because they are going to think "I like girls even though I am a child" just fine.

I only enjoyed the sight of it for the first time, but I had no fun on the road.

(And it's so bitter......)

Isaac looks outside the carriage.

Ten fully armed knights, twenty infantry and twenty archers.

There are a total of fifty escorts.

A little skirmish would win.

Others are attached as caregivers.

Isaac also said, "I just don't need this many," but Morgan didn't give in.

Isaac comes second to the Marquis Welrod family in inheritance, although there is some difficulty in being in danger.

Besides, he's the legitimate successor to succeed Randolph.

If you're going somewhere, you have to take the appropriate escort out.

This also seemed to be a spectrum of glory as a nobleman.

(Even though I can't earn my share of this escort's salary at first...)

We plan to win the iron ore to the Chamber of Commerce, but at first it will be at a lower price.

Might get a little awkward until my next bid.

(It's all right. If you're a merchant, show your interests and you'll eat up.... right?

I get anxious to get here, but I can't stop anymore.

There's no better option to "not try" than to decide to live a different life than in a previous life.

Even if there was a girl in my previous life who cared, I couldn't even deceive and speak up.

Because I am such a self, I thought it was just right to hit things with the intention of going somewhat forcefully.

----------

Tilly Hill's deputy and Baron Olgren's mansion were to be rented for a bid.

Baron Olgren. Kenneth and his family, the main principals.

One secretary apprentice named Glenn, who came with me as a caregiver, is also present.

And just in case, the knight also stood in the corner of the room.

"Gentlemen, you've come a long way. First of all, thank you for that."

Isaac thanks the three chamber representatives.

They are "those who responded to Isaac's call within the Chamber of Commerce, which is large and has quite a bit of money", which Isaac chose.

There were other chambers of commerce of the same size, but they refused to invite me by making decisions such as "I don't need iron ore even at your invitation" or "If you want to take it in, you're like Nathan".

It's not weird to make those decisions.

Isaac had troublesome conditions for participation.

- Attending people who can make important decisions within the Chamber of Commerce.

This was a condition I put on with kindness if I tried it on Isaac, but the Chamber of Commerce didn't take it that way.

I haven't told you yet that it will come with great perks.

"I guess Isaac is obsessed with Fujiko" was received by many merchants.

Sure, it's important to sell the charm, but you don't have to sell it to the disadvantaged side in a successor fight.

Then you'd better get your head into the main business without wasting your time.

Those who could make important decisions didn't feel the need to let them go until they went away because that was all they needed for business.

This time on Isaac's invitation were those who did not make those natural decisions.

It's natural to have contact with Nathan.

But then there are few returns to each and every Chamber of Commerce.

Rather, it was a challenging spiritual chamber of commerce that invested in Isaac for a one-shot reversal.

The participating chambers of commerce have different fields to deal with.

Henry the Superintendent is present from the Wight Chamber of Commerce, which deals mainly with groceries.

Because of its strong presence in the wellrod territory of the Braak Chamber of Commerce, it is a chamber of commerce that imports foodstuffs from Fartil, a neighboring agricultural country.

If it's worth getting into Isaac, he's trying to get in and take the # 1 seat in the grocery trade in the territory.

Ian, the superintendent, is also present, mainly from the Gray Chamber of Commerce, which deals with iron products.

Originally, the Braak Chamber of Commerce handled woodworking, but it has been a hundred years since he became a hugging merchant.

He was trying to monopolize his work in all areas, and in recent years he had a sense of crisis even though he had begun to speak out to blacksmiths.

I responded to Isaac's call because I thought it might trigger something.

Jacob, the chairman, was present from the Reid Colour Chamber of Commerce, which handles ornaments.

The Laid Color Chamber of Commerce is the most dangerous chamber of commerce by the Braak Chamber of Commerce.

Dennis' wife, the current chairman, is the daughter of a chamber of commerce in the King's capital, so much so that the chamber delivers ornaments to the royal family.

Using that handout to pick up the product, the Braak Chamber of Commerce began to handle ornaments as well.

The same is true of Melinda and Nathan at the Braak Chamber of Commerce.

Hoping Isaac would win, he was in a beating mood more than any other chamber of commerce.

"And thank you to Baron Olgren for this opportunity."

I will thank the person who rents the mansion from time to time.

It's free to say thank you in greeting.

That's all I'm going to say if that's going to make a better impression in the future.

"No, as much as I'd like to thank you for this one. The country is less entertaining."

That said Kenneth laughed, adding more wrinkles to the wrinkled carved face.

Though there are mines, they do not mine enough to satisfy demand within Wellrod territory.

The city exists as an insurance policy for the maintenance of mining technology and when something happens in the mines of the Marquis of Wallick.

People like street performers rarely come to Tilly Hill because they are also far from major trading routes.

It was a good spectacle that Isaac would visit and do something like this.

Though Isaac wondered how the tour would be with the family outing.

"That's just now, but I'd like to move on. I want everyone who comes here to buy 100kg of iron ore. You decide who you want to sell by competitive bidding, not buying or selling in the market."

Glenn sitting next to Isaac sighs small.

The others wouldn't put it on the table, but they felt the same way as Glenn did.

- Demand for blatant bribery.

It is common to remember the difference by making people buy cheap items at a high price.

Everyone was a little disappointed that Isaac, who had heard he was smart, was also "to that extent at best".

"I'm going to do it all ten times. Whoever wins the bid has an amazing perk. I want you to do your best."

Others smile at Isaac, who speaks with a childish smile.

Even if you think it's ridiculous, you can't cut the front and make fun of it.

He is the grandson of a lord.

Given our future relationship with the Wellrod family, we could not treat them poorly.

A clash is carried among the merchants by the knights.

To make the bids invisible to others when writing them down.

So the merchants wrote down their bids.

Among them, Jacob had written with a face full of despair.

Because I didn't think it would inspire me to break the situation.

Isaac checks carefully to make sure that the collected forms are not seen by them.

Inside it was written a discouraging amount.

(300,000, 500,000, 1.21 million…. The Wight Chamber of Commerce is the only one who's motivated)

If you think of it as an iron ore that doesn't originally have 100,000 leads, they all probably put a good value on it.

View Henry from the Wight Chamber of Commerce with the highest price.

1.21 million leads.

This is 1.1 million in anticipation of someone writing a million.

Another 1.2 million in anticipation of......

Finally, I will insure it when I wear it for 1.2 million for 10,000 multipliers.

He took this bid seriously.

These places were a good impression.

"This is the winning bid for the Wight Chamber of Commerce. Congratulations."

Isaac smiles and blesses.

"Thank you"

Maybe Henry thinks it's stupid too, but he replies with a proper smile.

For once, I could hear the applause of blessings from all around me.

"Now that you've won the bid, I'll give you one point first"

Listening to Isaac, Glenn writes on the form at hand, "1 Wight Chamber of Commerce bid”.

Even if you think it's ridiculous, work is work.

There is no way out of hand.

"Depending on how much other chambers of commerce can win, if this point earns more than 4 points, you will win. For example, if the number of bids awarded is five: twice: twice, the bid ends in the ninth time."

This is the answer derived from doing it ten times.

If I decide where I'm first, I say stop there.

Nevertheless, this place is white.

There was an air of "I don't care" including the parties.

"Good luck to the Chamber of Commerce, which has won the most bids, as I will be the merchant when I become lord in the future."

"Huh!?

The white air blew away.

Naturally because in one word Isaac changed from "kid's allowance" to "merchant's seat battle" all at once.

"I didn't ask you that. Why didn't you say it first!

"That's right. If I knew that, I would have bid a higher amount."

The Gray Chamber of Commerce and the Laid Color Chamber of Commerce protest that they failed to win.

Although the first time, it is very advantageous to be able to take the lead in competition.

But the protest is wrong.

Isaac turns off his grin from his face and slaps his desk hard once in the face.

The sound freaked the two of them out and made them quiet.

"I said the winning bidder has a perk. If you're making a kid's dime, isn't it your responsibility to keep the amount down, like this?

My attitude is leopard, and the two look away at Isaac, who speaks in a blaming tone.

Because Isaac was right.

It's very awkward because the person noticed that.

Kids at first.

I was feeling even more awkward just because I didn't think he'd notice.

Isaac glanced lightly at the two of them and returned to smile.

"Well, Mr. Henry from the Wight Chamber of Commerce. You thought about it a lot and bid. As the first bidder, I'll have one rule set."

"Rules......, is it?

I can't think of what to do when they tell me to set the rules.

Isaac expected this reaction, so I'll tell you for your information.

"That's right. Ask them to decide whether to publish the bid amount, including this one. Or just hide the winner."

The difference between whether or not you know the amount of the successful bid is significant.

This rule will have a significant impact on future tenders.

That decision was given to Henry, the first successful bidder.

"Can't we take it back and consider it and tell it when we bid next month?

Henry asked under No.

Naturally, Isaac shakes his head sideways.

"No. Then other chambers of commerce that do not know what the rules will be until next month will be significantly disadvantaged. There's no longer any point in bringing in someone who can make important decisions to get them to decide here."

Henry puts his hand on his chin and thinks in.

From time to time, I do my gaze on the other two.

I wonder how I can think in my favor.

After a while, I think I got an answer.

"The amount of the successful bidder is private. The other bids are public."

In the end, as Isaac said, he chose to hide only the winning bidder's amount.

Since I am the successful bidder, I have an advantage that I know the amount of the successful bid.

That should also be advantageous after the next time.

And this was the rule Isaac wanted.

We need to increase the bid amount significantly so that we can be sure that we win the bid more than we know the top bid amount.

To get them to choose this method, they pretended to use it as a reference to guide their thoughts subtly.

"So here's the remaining bid amount"

Isaac shows the paper that wrote the bid amount.

500,000 for the Gray Chamber of Commerce and 300,000 for the Laid Color Chamber of Commerce.

He checked the written amount and looked anxious that Jacob was "too cheap to buy the upset".

"You don't have to be a winner, and I won't forget to consider it later just because you're in this way. So don't give up even if you've been able to win a bid less often. There are other rules we've decided on here."

Isaac communicates his set of rules.

First, bring the funds to Tilly Hill to win the bid.

Secondly, a ban on directly or indirectly interfering with other chambers of commerce coming to Tilly Hill.

Thirdly, those of the Welrod family other than Isaac. It is forbidden to seek help primarily from Morgan or Randolph.

This is in order to avoid working to divulge the amount of the successful bid or to commit fraud that makes certain chambers of commerce appear to have won regardless of the amount.

"These are principles, and penalties are imposed on those that seem unjust beyond the limits, depending on the circumstances. There's nothing wrong with you guys if you bid with your money without thinking about obstruction or anything."

"How do you determine, for example, collusion or something?

Ask Isaac a question when Ian is afraid.

"I don't mind. Please, be my guest. What makes you a hugging merchant is where you win the most bids. Even if you collude to keep the bid amount down, it will be a battle for how much money you can accumulate in the last one. I think it would be cheaper to run and compete in a bid on the way than that."

"No, you're absolutely right"

Ian wipes the cold sweat off his forehead.

No, it's not just Ian.

Most of those present on this occasion are not very sweaty of tension or swallowing spit.

I heard rumors, but Isaac is not just a kid.

On the contrary, I even thought that the soul of Jude, the predecessor contemporary, might be on the move.

Randolph and the others know Isaac from the time he was born, so his impact is thin, but Isaac was only creepy for those who don't usually connect.

It's just like a monster who doesn't know what to do, such as a five-year-old who can talk right up to here.

The air, which had disappointed Isaac, disappeared a long time ago.

The only thing here is the fear that "Jude's resurgence has appeared”.

"Do you have any other questions?

"When can I be a hugging merchant?

Jacob asks questions.

It is most important to him.

Of course, the rest of us couldn't ignore it.

"I wonder when. Until I'm assigned to represent the Lords, perhaps around twenty years away. So you should avoid making unscrupulous bids next year because you think you can be a merchant again next year."

"Thank you"

Jacob makes quick calculations, thanking him for answering.

In the next twenty years, the Reid Collar Chamber of Commerce can hold the heavens.

In the meantime, can we stay unbeaten by the Braak Chamber of Commerce?

If it's not an invisible battle ahead, but a battle that endures a deadline of twenty years, we might be able to figure it out.

If you can be a hugging merchant, it was worth thinking about once back in the store.

"Is there anything else? Of course, we'll take questions after next time, so you don't have to do it right now."

"I have one important question. What happens if Master Isaac falls off his successor?

Henry's question was shared by the other two.

It was also the most important question and the hardest question to hear

But Isaac answers like it's nothing.

"It's a fundraiser for that. Depending on how much money is collected, my destiny will depend on you and One-Lotus Trustees. That's why it's huge in return. Besides the most successful bidders."

It was Baron Olgren who reacted most strongly to Isaac's words.

I didn't think I was going to hear a statement of intent at my mansion saying, "I'm not going to lose a dispute over the successor to the Marquis Welrod family".

I came for a tour because of the rarity, but I don't even think that the bid for iron ore will be so important.

"I've been in a tough spot..." he said, breathtaking.

And those on this occasion noticed.

- Why the format of the bid.

If you want to invest, you don't have to do this kind of trouble.

Reasons for purposefully taking the cumbersome means of bidding for iron ore.

- That's to identify the merchant.

Looking for someone to rely on in the future in a successor fight.

That's why he thought he was going to give a voice to the blind Chamber of Commerce and let it compete to determine its strength.

It's not "invest because you want the funds".

"I'll see if you're worthy of me," he says, "I'll let you invest."

The merchants were also surprised by this.

Of course, not in a bad way.

It means "I pulled the hit."

I've never seen a child try a merchant.

I'm sure it makes you feel like you're going to win the successor fight.

Most importantly, Isaac didn't put it in the form of a bid to find a merchant to rely on.

Starting next year, he will subtly invite the Braak Chamber of Commerce, also to sow seeds to spit out its wealth.

(Damn, I just sow the seeds, albeit necessary. I want to sow it on a woman if I want to sow it anyway.... What are you thinking of being stupid at a time like this? I am)

Isaac has a self-derisive grin.

Seeing that laugh, the people on this scene later said, "Come on, let's see what your strengths look like," which seemed challenging.
