Collusion by merchants.

The proposed measure was created by Morgan.

The solution itself is even simpler.

But it's costly to do it.

If it was to be executed, it was necessary to sort the person to some extent.

And that sorting will be done by Isaac.

April 1.

On this day, he had summoned the president of the Chamber of Commerce from a medium-sized or larger Chamber of Commerce.

The subjects are those coming from the Marquis of Welrod to the King's Capital as the nobility moves.

Merchants that do not travel according to the movement of the nobility in winter and stay in the territory are basically small.

There are many things like the owner of a personal store.

It was a decision they didn't have to worry too much about.

Meetings to gather the merchants will begin.

The representative of the Marquis Welrod family is Isaac.

Others only followed by a few secretaries, starting with Norman.

Despite the important story, it was a strange situation where neither Morgan nor Hans would attend.

When Isaac entered the conference room, about thirty men were waiting.

They are all representatives of the Chamber of Commerce.

Some of the front-row faces were spotted: representatives of the Gray Chamber of Commerce, the Wight Chamber of Commerce, and the Laid Color Chamber of Commerce.

Among those sitting in the front row was also the figure of Oscar, who became the new chairman of the Braak Chamber of Commerce.

He is Dennis' cousin.

"If you choose a new chairman from Dennis's brothers, you may unnecessarily buy the Wellrod Marquis misfortune," he was chosen to maintain the Braak Chamber of Commerce.

Since I was entrusted with the aftermath during the most difficult times, I guess I have the ability to do so accordingly.

Isaac glances at them and sits in the upper seat.

Across the street, many attendees sit in chairs and wait.

I felt like a PR officer doing a press conference.

"Gentlemen, you've been very busy."

Isaac bows his head with a peck.

The gaze is then directed to the paper placed on the desk.

I don't really need it, but it's a canning paper that they put together what they're going to talk about.

- Lords surrogate who can't even talk about it properly without checking the canning paper.

The purpose was to make you think so and to make you insult me.

Gaps are more shocking when you find out the truth.

It's a troublesome production, but this is also necessary.

"I'd like to ask you something about the price of the product this time. I hope you don't raise the price too much. The people will be in trouble, and I don't want you to be confused like Marquis Wallick."

Isaac pleads with a voice like a troubled child.

The figure and voice seemed year-to-year.

- For those who do not know their true nature.

"The price of the goods is the purchase value or something that fluctuates at that time in value. This is not tied up by law. The inability to make money when making money is a dead and alive issue for merchants. Is there anything in return?

It was Oscar who questioned Isaac.

Though the Braak Chamber of Commerce was removed from the embrace merchant, its size is among the best in the Marquis of Wellrod.

Naturally, one of the merchants has lost his voice.

By asking questions, others speak out in agreement.

"Of course it is. I will give each Chamber of Commerce one rare horse. If you don't like it, you can leave."

- A rare horse.

The venue shrugged at the words.

It was not only an attractive proposal for a medium-sized chamber of commerce, but also for a chamber as large as the Braak Chamber of Commerce.

Isaac is a "rare horse" associated with an elf.

I thought it must be about the unicorn.

If you don't need the horse itself, you can just sell it as it is.

It was a reward that I had no difficulty with because it was worth it because it was small in number.

"So let's actually have a look"

When Isaac signals, the door behind the merchants opens.

There was an old deer.

"What? It's a deer!

"No, what a fine horse you are. Thank you."

"Are you insane?

"Wonderful horse."

It becomes both positive and negative among the merchants.

Seventy percent negative opinions.

The only ones thanking Isaac were the chambers of commerce that had to do with bids like the Gray and Wight Chambers of Commerce and some that were voiced by those chambers of commerce.

The first Oscar at the Braak Chamber of Commerce stood up silently and left the room intact.

"Let's get out of here."

"That's right. You're making too many fools out of anything you want."

With the biggest Braak Chamber of Commerce out first, the rigging group seems to have become more concerned.

Because we know that Isaac, no matter how ferocious he is known, cannot punish everyone given the economy in his territory.

I'm scared to leave alone and be the only one staring at the Marquis Wellrod family, but I'm not scared if we all leave.

Begin to speak up to Peter of the Maloon Chamber of Commerce, the compiler of collusion.

"... All right, let's get out of here"

Peter gets up.

Making such an old deer a reward for being a rare horse is ridiculous.

No matter how aristocratic your opponent is, if he gets cocked up to this point, he will have no choice but to leave.

Depending on the words, representatives of other chambers of commerce left the room early enough.

"It's a shame. We were going to discuss it, too. It was Master Isaac who broke the negotiations. Don't forget that."

Peter finally gives a thank you.

And he tried to leave the room, too.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Isaac sees Peter and those who are leaving the room with pity.

The same goes for the Ralphs at the Gray Chamber of Commerce.

The ten or so who remained in the room were dropped off with a merciful gaze at those who were leaving the room.

Peter's leg stops when he notices that gaze.

"What's up?

"No... I have a little concern. I thought maybe we should just hear the end of the story."

"Hahaha, you're worried"

After laughing once, whoever was talking to Peter whispers in a small voice.

"Even when it comes to children who are off track, I understand that we can't help them. As long as we're acting together, you said it was cheap."

"Oh, yeah. But I think there's something only for kids who are off track."

"Okay. Then just stay and listen to me. We're leaving to show our will to do business freely."

"Let's just say we will. See you later for more stories."

I really cared about my gaze. Peter decided to stay.

Because I've been thinking about going out with him for a while now, whether or not he's going to be subject to price control.

Taking what appears to be an easy safety measure can be fatal for him.

"Oh, there's only one left."

Isaac squeaks like a bore.

It's not funny that only one person reacted to it, even though he had a blatant gaze on it.

But if you don't let those who doubt the meaning of your gaze stay, you're in trouble.

Because that's the purpose of dividing those who are sharp and don't move with emotion.

"You can come in now."

Isaac called out to the door behind him.

From there, Oscar shows up.

"Hey, why... Disgruntled, I should have left first then..."

"I didn't say a word about dissatisfaction. I just happened to want to go to the bathroom at that time."

In response to Peter's inquiry, Oscar answers flatly.

Whatever you think, his statement is a lie.

If you just went to the bathroom, you'd come back through the door where you left off.

But Oscar is back at the door behind the conference room used by the Marquis family.

Whatever you think, I just thought it was Isaac's behavior.

Peter stared at Oscar as he sat back where he was sitting the first time, with his eyes open.

"Now, needless to say, there's not a single deer in return for having their prices maintained as they stand. The chamber's carriage of carriages that are still here for you right now. For one year, the toll tax shall be half."

"Become!?

Peter is surprised.

Carriages of the Chamber of Commerce pay a transit tax even if they simply travel within the territory.

If that is half the price, it will increase profits even if the price of the goods remains as it stands.

"Why didn't you say that first! If you tell me first, everyone will follow you very carefully!

Naturally, Peter protests.

No one would say no under such favourable conditions.

The Chamber of Commerce should have been pleased to raise its hands, especially when purchasing goods from other territories and more carriage travel.

There was nothing to rebel against.

"But if we all cut taxes, we'll lose tax revenues."

But Isaac's words were the best.

But it's also hard for Peter to accept just the right words.

"But then the rebellion will be greater. For other chambers of commerce to make money from tax cuts, they should try to make money from price increases."

"Fine, why don't you take it personally?

"Oh my God!

Peter couldn't understand Isaac's words.

I should have been afraid of the confusion caused by the price increase, but now I say make a price increase.

Too disjunctive a saying.

But there was a good reason for that.

"Take a look at the face you left here. They're going to keep the price of the product as it stands. Who buys a product with an increased price?

Isaac said away in a mocking voice, not an earlier childish voice.

Peter turns his gaze to the remaining face.

The White Chamber of Commerce for Groceries, the Gray Chamber of Commerce for Iron Products, the Laid Color Chamber for Decorations….

And the Braak Chamber of Commerce, which has a lot of influence in a variety of fields.

Here Peter realized defeat.

Because they can cover the bulk of what the inhabitants need.

If you collude to increase prices simultaneously because it's time to make money, no one will look to the products that you have raised prices for.

If the product is of similar quality, everyone buys it cheaper.

If they sell their goods at the same price as before, other chambers of commerce will have to refrain from raising prices.

Since the Braak Chamber of Commerce left against suppressing price increases, other chambers of commerce also left the room in anticipation of "the Braak Chamber of Commerce making price increases".

Because of the troubles of Dennis, the previous chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, I thought he was distancing himself from the Marquis Welrod family, so I believed in Oscar's behavior even more.

But if the Braak Chamber of Commerce is to endorse price control, the story is going to be completely different.

It will be very difficult for big men to move the market.

After coming here, Peter finally realized they had been framed.

I just thought about rigging, and I missed smoking sweet juice.

That's not all.

I realized my position was at stake.

"Well, then, I'll pay for this study."

Peter rushes to exit.

Isaac held it back.

"Well, wait. Don't you have to ask me when I'm gonna cut taxes or something? The Maloon Chamber of Commerce is eligible for tax breaks beyond what's left of it."

- The Maloon Chamber of Commerce is also eligible for tax relief.

Isaac said what Peter was afraid of.

Now it seems as if you have betrayed those who colluded and only tried to feel good.

In the future, within my peers - no, it could be a pattern before I can call myself one anymore.

He regretted that he had made the choice to stay in the room.

"No, it's a waste, but I'm going to decline the tax cuts."

"You said you'd cut taxes on all the chambers of commerce that are here. Whether you resign or not, I'll tell anyone who collects taxes from the Maloon Chamber of Commerce to receive only half of the toll. I'm sure the story of the Maloon Chamber of Commerce being eligible for tax breaks will spread naturally from the person's mouth."

"Knock."

Peter understood the meaning of his earlier gaze.

That gaze was calculated to concern me and was designed to stay in the room.

This is the splitting of the rigging group.

If the summariser were to betray him, no one would be trusted for the time being.

At least we won't be able to do something together.

And above all, it is harsh to be rumored that "the Maloon Chamber of Commerce went out of the rigging group and turned one over".

Merchants can't rely on side connections.

I was supposed to be after a thousand bucks, but I was supposed to pay tuition that hurt.

"Hey...... Erm..."

I'm Peter from the Maloon Chamber of Commerce.

Isaac didn't know about Peter because he didn't have a name.

Seeing how it goes, Norman quickly ears to Isaac.

"Mr. Peter. I benefit those who follow me. [M] But I don't want to cut pie until I'm done with people who don't. Now, you know what to do if you want to share the pie, right?

"... Yes"

Doing business as usual without thinking about the undeserved imitation of making money out of confusion around the house.

Don't think about colluding and making money, etc.

That's all there is to it.

If there was a problem, Peter would be buying grudges as a "traitor" to other riggers from now on.

I don't know if I can do business normally anymore.

"So long, folks. Please keep prices as they are because the transit tax will be lower for one year. Like the Gray Chamber of Commerce, we allow price increases within common sense if the material is rising"

"Yes!"

Peter and those other than him have different expressions.

Peter was depressed by what was to come, but those other than him were grinning with joy.

The more active the traffic tax is, the heavier the shackles.

If that were to be halved, it would be considerably easier.

Besides, you can also benefit from the Wellrod Marquis' misfortune without buying it.

Especially Oscar, who was gaining momentum to reclaim what he no longer held merchant.

Look at them. Isaac reviewed his grandfather.

(I knew it would be quicker if you asked Grandpa how to be calm)

The reduction in the traffic tax is Morgan's suggestion.

For lowering taxes, I was trying to put up with price increases.

Even if tax revenues fell somewhat, it came from the idea that it was better than confusing like the Marquis of Wallick territory.

Even without threatening me, I was impressed to be taught how I could solve it with a simple discussion.

Isaac didn't have the idea of reducing taxes.

Though acting lord, because I didn't know if I could get that far.

It was a means to do so because it was Morgan, the original lord.

The proposal to say a deer on the way is a horse or to get Oscar out belongs to Isaac.

The trigger was that Morgan spilled, "That's pretty painful when it comes to cutting taxes on all the chambers of commerce."

So what Isaac thought was a way of sifting through the chambers of commerce he attended and leaving only the necessary chambers of commerce behind.

A method was also conceived of sneaking behind it to reduce the traffic tax only by obedient chambers of commerce, such as the Braak Chamber of Commerce, but that was rejected.

If you do that, the other chambers of commerce will explode their grievances.

He was thus told that it was necessary to gather them in the conference room and "I did not listen to them until the end and they did not qualify for tax breaks because I left on the way".

(Now there shouldn't be a big problem going back to Wellrod...... right?

I finished what I needed to do while I was in the King's Capital.

All you have to do is learn the Lord's work from Hans.

Isaac thought so, but after all this, he felt uneasy and couldn't be relieved.
