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

Claude and Bridget came back about a month later.

"Ah. My parents are fine, but I still can't get rid of our lives."

Bridget said, looking satisfied as she cheeked the cake.

If you were treated like a guest at the Marquis, that would already be a pleasure.

Except for minor grievances such as "I don't have a console" and "I want to eat ramen," even Isaac, who lived in Japan, is satisfied with his current life.

"But why do you look like that? Because of that, a beautiful girl came back."

"I wonder if it's because the self-proclaimed (...) beautiful girl is back...... I'm glad I'm a normal person."

This doesn't mean face, it means personality.

But I didn't get through to Bridget.

"Ha-ha, now you're lit"

"There's no way"

"... isn't it kind of cold?

"I've been busy."

Isaac is a little sloppy because, unlike Bridget, who was enjoying a refresher vacation, he didn't have time to rest.

Meetings, business meetings, and communication with family.

He was spending more time in his eyes studying and practicing swords.

I could have reduced my study time, etc., but I should have done as much as I could if I thought about the future.

I couldn't afford to make my own time over the past month.

And my plans are still busy.

"Mr. Claude, what happened to the cocoa tree?

"Your grandfather was the center of the planting. It didn't seem particularly problematic."

"That's good"

Tilly Hill is a mining city.

Refine and ingot iron ore and sell it to the Chamber of Commerce to buy food.

That was the main way to get food.

There were fields and such, but not enough to be self-sufficient.

Farmers are few and miners are the main city.

As a result, there are many untouched flats around.

Perhaps there's more to it than letting everyone in the Elf village who's interacting now pioneer.

In the future, it might be a good idea to let them do ranches and such.

No complaints were made by Baron Olgren, who is entrusting Tilly Hill with planting the elves.

This is because all land, including Tilly Hill, belongs to the Marquis Welrod family.

The deputies entrusted to the city are like hired and store managers, so to speak.

Unless it's so much of a problem, we can't disagree with HQ's intentions.

Even if the city has been entrusted with it for generations.

"Weren't you dissatisfied with your salary or something?

Plantation activities lead to 10,000 leads per day.

After that, 6,000 leads look around a few times a day to see if wildlife doesn't dig back seeds.

This is lower than the market because he feared that the daily salary of the elves would be increased ”that's the normal treatment for the elves”.

But this is still a lot better than treating human civilians.

"I had the opinion that it was lower than my earner's salary. But given the job description, you accepted that you had no choice. We can look around for old people and children, so we're going to do it on a carry-on basis."

Claude wanted to say, "I need you to hire a little more," but he never said anything about it.

Until the trees grow, the plantation relationship in Cacao will be unpaid.

Besides, the job description itself is very easy, so it takes a small number of people.

It wasn't "understaffed," so it was hard to say I wanted a lot of people hired.

"The harvest looks tough, so we're going to recruit not only the old and the kids, but also the young ones. I'm still ahead of you, though. I'm thinking that if more human and elf friendship progresses in the future, there might be a rental of farmland."

There are few humans for the size of the land, so they can't expand their farmland.

There is also a lot of untouched land in Wellrod territory.

Lend those lands to the elves and have them run farming and livestock.

That would increase tax revenues somewhat, and the elves would make a better impression.

"If you tell me about the future, I won't cut you."

"I have no choice. I've never talked to a human elf before. We need to move on one by one."

"Right."

Aloys returns to the village and proceeds to the surrounding village as well.

That would give rise to new opinions.

If you try to sit back and talk to each other, you will find as many challenges as you can.

We just have to solve it from what we need suddenly.

It may be just the way to deal with it per go, but the interrupted time of AC was too long to anticipate and resolve the problem in advance.

We have to do more by hand than build a relationship from scratch.

"Speaking of which, no more chocolate?

Bridget, who was drinking tea, makes a statement about not reading the air.

But Claude was also reacting to that word.

After all, I guess he cared too.

Long ears moved big and picky.

"Not right now. We're late in securing cocoa seeds. I'm asking them to sell it properly from this year on, so I think I can get some assurance."

The pulp part had been eaten, but the seeds had been discarded because they were bitter.

I plan to be able to secure some seeds starting this year, so I should be able to secure enough for what I consume at home.

"Right - too bad. Well, I hope not."

Bridget is interested in chocolate, but without it, it seems to be tolerable enough.

In contrast, Claude had not changed his expression, but had clearly lost his power from his eyes.

He found out he didn't like it and seemed relieved.

"I hope Tilly Hill plants well, but this all fits the land or not. I just hope it works out."

Isaac said in a tone like other HR.

Chocolate tastes nostalgic to him, but it's not something he has to.

It's the only ingredient to sell as a luxury treat.

----------

With Claude and the others back, the elves start making money.

Now it's going to be a long run, not a short run, as before.

The "You may go away" people will carry out street maintenance from Wellrod to Wang Capital and from there to the other Marquis' territorial capital.

Those who say, "I am anxious, so I don't want to go too far away," ask them to do street maintenance within Wellrod territory.

Now Isaac is discussing that order with the Randolphs.

"Tailor in the Northeast, Alster in the South. These streets have been built, so why don't we build our way to Count Bristol territory to the west next?

It is Francis who has become the lead secretary of Randolph who is giving his opinion.

Benjamin was taken to Morgan, so he rolled up to the head.

That's all I'm sticking up for.

"Do you want me to develop the main streets leading up to the other territories first? I think it's good."

Randolph is also convinced.

This doesn't even have to be Isaac's opinion.

This is the only place where the road to Wang Du will be maintained as a priority, beyond what has been decided.

Problem is, next.

"Many elves want short-term earnings this time combined with a tour of human society. I can get them to fix the other place up. Where else to get it serviced. Anybody got an opinion?

Randolph looks around.

Isaac refrains from speaking because he is pressed to "let everyone speak at first".

It is also the duty of those who stand on top to give their men a hand.

It's not a good idea for your boss to keep the handle to himself.

"What about having streets built to rural areas? If it is easier to carry food, transport costs may also be reduced to have a good effect on prices"

"I think we should get the water cure done first. Street maintenance is effective, but not life-threatening. The breakdown of the embankment will result in fewer working civilians and no crops."

"Then you should also ask for reinforcements to the mountain skin that are likely to cause landslides. Landslides are also a major disaster."

"You should ask for reinforcements to an aging building. It takes time and money to get back on your feet from scratch. If you just need to reinforce the building you have now, it will be cheaper."

The attendees speak out to appeal to themselves.

I'm not just appealing to my existence, I'm saying it's in the proper interest of the realm.

If there is a problem, which opinion will you adopt?

There is just not enough room for the number of elves to employ more than one opinion at the same time.

Randolph looks at Chirali and Isaac.

But that's a flash.

I didn't ask Isaac for his opinion and gave him my own answer.

"I'm going to ask for water treatment first. Street maintenance can be done with effort. It also relates to the reinforcement of mountain skin and buildings. However, the water treatment work is out of step. I know other things are important. But I'm going to have the difficult work done by magic first, more than not knowing when and what will happen and we will be cut off from the elves again. Anybody got any opinions?

Randolph looks around again.

But no particular opinion emerged.

"It's difficult for humans, let's get the time-consuming construction done first," he convinces me. "It sure is."

Isaac also just nodded with a grin when he was gazed at.

Because I am satisfied with the decisions my father has made.

Prepare for disasters that you don't know when they will happen, so it's hard to understand the effects of disaster prevention relationships like water remediation work.

If Randolph had just become a Lords surrogate, it would not have been strange to choose street maintenance for a palpable result.

But he chose the water cure from the point of view of "effort" over "fame".

Isaac was satisfied with his father, who chose "fruit" over "name".

Randolph is growing up every day not to be easily outrun by his son.

Seeing that, Isaac also thought, "I'm going to be a good king like my father can't beat me".

The two had become not just parents and children, but good stimulators for each other.
