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

That said, the Wangdu branch of the Grey Chamber of Commerce is not in the middle of the city.

Small-scale retailers can be found throughout the city, but the necessary workshops and warehouses as hardware stores are located in an industrial section off the town.

I plan to gather at this base this time.

Because it's also big enough that it's okay to have a lot of escorts.

When Isaac and the others arrive, the sound of slamming iron from the workplace sounds.

Ralph looked blue and welcomed Isaac.

"Dear Isaac, I didn't hear His Majesty was coming today."

He seemed surprised to hear from me.

That too, Isaac thought.

Even Isaac was surprised.

Though a fairly large chamber of commerce, Ralph, a merchant, does not first have the opportunity to meet with King Elias.

Moreover, visiting without the time to prepare your mind is not a very ordinary mind.

"I didn't even hear that. If it's a grudge, tell His Majesty."

"You can't say that!

"Well, give it up"

"Well..."

Ralph said he still said something, but Isaac is the one who hesitates to ask questions strongly at Isaac.

Contains grievances grossly.

"You're ready, aren't you?

"Of course, it's done. But your majesty in such a noisy place..."

Ralph was still worried.

I wouldn't have been anxious if I could call you where I could hear the working noise.

"If you're so anxious, why don't you just give everyone a break? I wish I didn't have a rush job."

"That's it! Hey, tell everyone to stop working. Yes, let's all welcome His Majesty."

"Don't you get your clothes dirty or something at work?

"... no welcome! Take a break. Let him rest for a while."

Following Isaac's allegations, Ralph rushes back to issue the order.

(Aren't you in too much of a hurry? I don't think I have to worry about it for a bit because I can hear the work from around me anyway)

Isaac thought so, but generally it's more normal to react like Ralph.

Regardless of whether he had ambition or not, Isaac, who had no respect for the royal family, was more abnormal in this world.

But Ralph and Glenn, not knowing its true intentions, said, "That's Isaac. I am well settled in this situation," he was impressed.

----------

Elias arrives with a large group of escorts.

Elias gets off the carriage.

It wasn't just my grandfather who knew some of his companions would come with me, it even looked like Quentin.

(You're so free!

Isaac thought of that, but this was only a matter of timing.

Quentin had climbed the castle to make the report of the Marquis of Wallick an area.

That's where Morgan just ran into me in the hallway.

If it's Dwarf related, he's not totally irrelevant either.

For the first time, you wanted to know, and I called to say, "How about a tour?"

Elias agreed with the idea and Quentin was to accompany him.

But Isaac doesn't know the circumstances.

I thought Quentin noticed Elias' behavior and wished to accompany him.

But now is not the kind of situation where you can ask that.

"Welcome aboard."

I can't afford to put a scratch in Quentin in front of Elias.

Now all I could do was give a big welcome.

"What, it's not bad to go on an inspection like this once in a while"

The royal family is on the side of calling merchants.

I guess I never got to my feet like this.

Elias looks around uncommonly.

But the accompanying Morgans had the expression, "You don't have to come here..."

"Isaac, Your Majesty has taken me to your busy place. As soon as I can show you."

"Yes."

So, Morgan rushes Isaac to get things done right away.

Isaac also obeys his grandfather's heart honestly.

"I'm Ralph, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. I'll show you. This way, please."

- If you want to guide me, it's my turn.

I thought so. Ralph leads the way with a trembling nervousness.

Elias laughs furiously at Ralph, who was named for his tenacious expression.

"I'm not that nervous. Take it easy."

"There is no annihilation either. Your Majesty, that famous king, can come straight away. That is an unparalleled honor. I can't stop shivering."

Elias is commonly referred to as the "Wise King”.

Originally he only ruled without difficulty, but in recent years he has also had flashy results such as friendship with the elves and tax cuts on the Marquis Territory of Wallick.

For those like Ralph who do not know the details, Elias has been the king of the fold in history.

As Ralph thinks, it is accepted by the civilian population that tax breaks on the Marquis Wallick Territory are a good thing.

- His Majesty the King scolded the Marquis Wallick, who was imposing heavy taxes.

- The confusion in the Marquis Wallick territory is due to the greedy merchants, and the Marquis Wallick, who couldn't contain it, is also bad.

That was the general feeling.

For this reason, Elias had made a delicious point of only gaining fame.

For someone like Ralph, he was a touching, trembling opponent even if he could just get his voice on like this.

Elias nods satisfactorily.

He felt "it's not a bad idea to talk to those who go down like this once in a while".

Those in the royal palace work hidden hearts.

It was fresh for Elias to see an attitude like Ralph's.

It felt good to hear the words of praise this way.

----------

Ralph guided us to a parking space beside the warehouse.

Three carriages were available there.

The two were iron carriages, one of which was on top of something.

"Let me explain it in turn. Take a look at this carrier first"

First, Ralph tells him to look at the carriage of a regular carriage.

The front is removed and the inside of the carrier is easier to see.

"That's a regular carriage with iron on it."

"Uhm."

Quentin squeaks.

Morgan also agreed to the word.

"Wouldn't you be able to put more baggage on this?

But Elias, unfamiliar with the carriage, speaks of doubts.

This is what I wanted you to hear.

"I thought so at first, too. But the iron is heavy, so if you put any more on it, the carriage will break."

"Really?

"Let me start by actually showing you that. Stay away from the carriage a little bit. Mr. Ralph, do it."

Isaac orders Ralph to practice faster.

Then, about ten business members who had prepared in advance in a relatively beautiful outfit loaded iron onto the carrier.

Eventually, the sound of a mistletoe began to ring and the bottom of the carriage fell out.

The sound of ragged and iron ingots falling to the ground sounds.

"You can't do this."

"Yes. So it's the carriage next door that I thought would be okay if I ironed the body of the car. We built all the bodies and axles out of iron."

What Isaac pointed out was a heavy-duty carriage called iron to see.

The carrier is stacked with obviously more iron than it had on a wooden carriage.

"You sure look sturdy"

"But there's also a problem. To make that easier to understand, I'd like to ask about ten of the knights in the escort to help, would you mind?

At Isaac's request, Elias clutches his neck strangely.

"If there's only ten of us, why don't we use them?"

Elias sees those who were loading iron into the wooden carriage earlier.

But Isaac shook his head sideways saying, "That's no good".

"Because we need someone who doesn't vomit lies to prove things. They are those who work at the Gray Chamber of Commerce. I need the help of all the knights to make sure they don't think they're lying to make their products look good. Of course, they won't lie to His Majesty, but for a 100% guarantee."

"Hmm...... Well, don't you mind? Help him."

Elias orders the captain of the escort.

He selects ten men from his men.

I didn't know what I could make them do, but I didn't see the color of dissatisfaction in the chosen ones.

Rather, it even seemed as if he was proud to be able to work for Elias.

"So will you push this carriage?

"What?"

The knights are puzzled by Isaac's demands.

- A pile of ingots in an iron carriage.

There's no way I can push something like this.

Whatever it is on the road maintained by the elves, it is on the normal ground.

It even looks like the wheels are a little stuck in the ground already.

At first glance, I don't think I can "move it".

"Do you have this? Shouldn't you use a horse?

"You just have to prove the fact that I couldn't try to move it. You don't have to move it."

"Really..."

But even though the knights know they can't, they have a burning eye for willingness to "do more than do it".

The knights surround the carriage and place it.

"Shh!

"Whoa, whoa!

The knights roar.

But the iron carriage doesn't even work with Pickle.

After about ten seconds, Isaac stops them.

"Thank you. The iron carriage is sturdy. That's why if you put too much baggage on it, you can't move it. The body will also be heavy. So here's how we solved all sorts of problems."

Isaac leads us to the third carriage.

That's the same as the second carriage.

But there was only one big difference.

It was on top of something like 10 meters of steel.

The wheels are also in the strange shape of pinching steel.

"Now will you press this one?

The knights look at each other and then look at Elias.

Elias nodded and told Isaac to follow his instructions.

I feel depressed when I think I have to push the immobile iron carriage again.

But I can't help but give orders.

Surround the carriage again.

"Shh!

"Whoa, whoa!...?

"Ooh!

Now, unlike earlier, it started moving slowly.

It wasn't just those who watched around them that surprised me.

The knights, who thought they would not move, were also surprised by the unexpected movement.

Gradually faster.

"Oh, wait a minute. Stop!"

But Isaac's stopping was slow.

The carriage, which has a considerable mass, passes over 10 meters of steel without stopping, and the wheels come into contact with the ground.

The carriage then counter-rotated forward with too much momentum.

The ingots of the load were scattered around, and a tremendous noise echoed around them.

Surprised by the magnitude of the sound, Isaac was shrugging his shoulders bickly.

No, it's not just Isaac.

The adults around us were all alike.

"Also, I'm sorry!

The knights who were pushing me apologize verbally.

It was an apology for making noise in front of Elias and an apology for what might have destroyed the iron carriage.

"Sure surprised me, but well. More than that, why did that thing work? Must be heavy, huh?

Elias asks Isaac a question.

Because I was more intrigued by why the heavy carriage moved than by scolding it.

"This is simple. Glenn, paper and stuff."

"Ha."

When Isaac receives the paper and pencil from Glenn, he starts painting.

Let's start with a simple painting lined up with marutai.

Show that to Elias.

"Did you know that when His Majesty carries a large rock in a stone cutting yard or something, he lays and carries the whole thing like this?

"Oh, I'm just saying I've read it in a book."

"That's fine."

First, Isaac is satisfied that Elias knows the prerequisites.

"Even heavy objects are easier to carry by laying round thicknesses between the ground and the ground. But if you try to carry it with Round Tai, you need a ton of Round Tai, and it's wood, so it shreds. So I thought about creating an iron road that didn't scrape off easily and was easier to move with a tsuru than the ground, and running an iron carriage over it. It should be easier to move this way, as it is somewhat rough on the roads maintained by the elves"

Isaac touches the iron on the tracks, then the ground.

Seeing it, Elias and Morgan imitated it as well.

"I see, it does slip better than the ground. So even heavy objects are easy to move?"

"Yes, and that's not the only reason I thought about railways"

"What do you mean?

"When you lay the railroad, you'll need a ton of iron. I'm sure you'll be using not only the iron of the Wallic Marquis, but also the iron you can pick in Count Brander's territory."

In Isaac's words, Elias seems to have made a point.

"Consideration for Count Brander?"

"Yes."

Even with all the preference given to the Marquis Wallick, I might buy a good grudge from Count Brander.

By showing consideration, Isaac was thinking of reducing the number of those who turned to his enemies.

"But do you come up with this with just Marutai from a stone cutter? What made you think of that?

It is strange to be able to come up with this idea, no matter how much.

Morgan asks Isaac, curious as to what thoughts he is thinking.

"When I was slipping on a staircase railing, I thought it was a tulu..."

"Isaac, I told you not to slide and play with the railings because it's dangerous!

"Shh, excuse me. With…"

After talking to Ralph about the loads of carriages before, Isaac remembered about the railroad when he was playing with railings a little back to his childhood heart.

If you can't move in an iron carriage, just make sure you can.

So I remembered the tracks and trains.

Even if you don't have an engine, you just have to let the horses pull it off instead.

I thought a regular carriage size would be fine, and I was letting Ralph make it.

"So you came up with this iron road? Railways……. Yeah, that's the perfect word."

"Thank you"

Isaac responds immediately because Elias is impressed.

But Morgan remained gazing, "It's a sermon for kids playing dangerous later".

Even as I tried to escape by dealing with Elias, I was unlikely to escape the sermon.

"Do you connect the city to the city on this railroad to make it easier to carry large quantities of luggage?"

"Yes, you're right. Teach Dwarf this and he'll be very happy."

Elias is quick to understand.

Isaac has a problem explaining it, too.

But Quentin waits.

"Isaac, I can't do that"

"What, why is that?

I never thought it would take, though I waited for this proposal.

Besides, I never even considered the possibility that Quentin would get the most out of it.

"If we were to connect the city to the city, we would need a lot of iron. I can't use iron just for the railroad. If we are to squirt out the amount to be used for railways while meeting domestic demand, we must encourage a considerable increase in production. Plus, it's gonna cost you a budget. Hundreds of billions, possibly trillions of leads, not just for the cost of iron, but for fuel, labor, etc. I'm going to do it, and it won't fit on a scale that I can do right away."

Quentin has had considerable difficulty over the past few years.

As the head of the Marquis family, it was rarely covered in gold.

So I taught Isaac that the size and amount of railway work would be enormous.

"Uh... that's..."

Isaac drowned in technology and didn't even think about whether it was feasible.

I realize it was a failure, and I look at how Elias is doing.

"Surely Lord Wallick is right. If we're going to build a railroad, maybe we'll have to work on it on a ten-year basis..."

Elias also had a reluctant look when asked about the budget.

"Well, if you're just going to teach Dwarf..."

"Don't you get discouraged when they say they want you to sell the iron that makes the railroad, that there isn't?

"Ugh..."

Quentin comes up with a precise point.

Isaac couldn't think of a better response.

Words get jammed.

I can't even ignore it because I know it's a really worried statement, not harassment.

"Is there anything else? Well, I suppose it doesn't have to be anything for the signing ceremony..."

Ask Isaac with Elias's worried face.

As he has said, there is no problem with the signing ceremony itself, which enters into a trade agreement.

But the king himself would go out, so he wanted to take a souvenir anyway.

The problem here is that the resumption of interaction with elves and dwarves was not in itself in the original game.

As a result, humans do not have rare items to sell to their Dwarf counterparts.

There was a situation where "something Isaac thought depended on".

"Yes, I do."

"Oh, yeah, yeah."

Elias doesn't try to hide his joy.

I'm glad there's more.

"Mr. Ralph, give me that."

Ralph receives a wood cut and a short iron stick from his men who were nearby and hands it to Isaac.

"This is a screw and driver. Just turn it like this..."

That was a negative screw and a negative driver.

It's not positive because if it's positive, the process increases.

As an initial mass production product, it was made into an easy to make specification.

Isaac turns and removes the screws that had been fixed to the wood cut beforehand.

"I've never worked as a carpenter, but I can take it off easily."

"Is that awesome?

This didn't just look like Elias, nor did the Morgans.

It would have been otherwise if the hobby of Sunday carpentry had become popular among the nobles, but most people have no experience of making their own things.

I didn't know the advantages of ease of removal.

"They say the nail bends or the tree cracks when you pull the nail out. The lid of the crate used to carry the luggage is also secured by nails, so with the screws you can use it around again and again"

"Oh, I see. It's the same as laundry scissors, and if so, it's convenient."

"Exactly."

Elias just has a bad habit of trying to be a good fit, and he seems smart himself.

I understood that the screw was not worth it alone, but "can be used conveniently".

Receive a screw from Isaac and stare seriously.

And turned to the railroad with a sinister face.

"But compared to that..."

There is no need to compare which is more valuable than a railroad that makes it possible to use an iron carriage or an object that just has a groove carved around the nail that circles with a circle.

The screws are really inferior.

Elias thinks, "I'd like to show the railroad to Dwarf anyway".

"I was more confident there, too, but I think Lord Wallick is right. How about we just sell in the screws this time and sell in the railroad blueprints in a few years?

"Right. In a few years' time, Marquis Wallick will also have an increased production system in place. And Count Brander's territory. It would be more effective to hang on to the story by then. Lord Welrod, what do you think of that?

Elias speaks to Morgan.

Because this kind of problem was more certain to ask him.

"The method of putting it out at once and making an impact will also be effective. But that worked well enough last time. I agree not to panic, but to make it small."

Listening to Morgan's response, Elias nods satisfactorily, "Yeah, yeah".

Again, it would be more reliable to have the Minister for Foreign Affairs affirm his opinion.

Elias smiles at Isaac.

"That's all that's helping me. We have to reward Isaac Welrod personally as well as the Marquis Welrod family. Do you have any hope of what kind of things you want?

"Is it hope?"

- A chance to suddenly come down and gush.

Isaac rotates his head fully and thinks about what he wants.

(... yes, unexpectedly this request may pass!

Isaac decided to make a bold request.

One wrong step and you're in big trouble.

But Elias felt like he liked himself, so he was certain it wouldn't be the worst.

"Well, that's not a reward...... Can you give permission to the Marquis Wellrod family to expand their armaments?

"Arms expansion? Why?"

Isaac, tell me why.

Naturally, Elias wonders about this request.

That's the same for Morgan.

I asked him to tell me why he asked for permission to expand armaments.

To this, Isaac spoke with a serious face.

"I also wondered if we could talk about this before we got along with Dwarf...... The Dwarves seemed strong, and weapons and protective equipment were fine objects. In case there was an armed clash, I wondered if we should just keep the number of soldiers."

Isaac breathes deeply once.

The surrounding adults breathed and waited for the words to follow.

"If there were to be a war with the Dwarves, the Marquis of Wellrod would be at the forefront. You should be prepared to fight as the shield of the Reid kingdom. Of course, not right now. Since we started doing business with Dwarves and started making profits."

- Economic backing to support arms expansion.

This was once pointed out by my great-uncle Hans.

Dealing with Dwarves is expected to increase tax revenues.

I'm sure we'll be able to withstand arms expansion.

But it's a big father-name that's a problem when you collect soldiers.

If we gather soldiers for no reason, Isaac's rebellion is suspected.

I made a request to use Dwarf as a pretext to get a good reason for this opportunity.

The first reaction to this was Quentin.

"I see, gathering soldiers is a good idea. The fact that we have all our soldiers will also deter war."

He thought like a soldier.

Show that a fine army is in place before the feud begins.

It thus considered it effective as a precautionary measure not to show the opponent an extra gap of "if attacked, wouldn't it be easy to beat?".

"By turning the profits of the deal to national defense, we can avoid the envy around us."

If Morgan also listened to Isaac, it was a convincing reason.

The Marquis Welrod family is quite jealous from around if they are saving profits from their dealings with Dwarves.

But no one can stand out and condemn the Marquis Welrod family if they use it to prepare even half of its profits for good.

Instead of saving money for your personal gain, you're spending money you've made for the public good.

Instead, those who accuse them will be ridiculed as "ignorant".

"Isaac thought of doing well," he admired.

With the two Marquises agreeing with Isaac, Elias also began to think positively.

But there are things that bother me.

"I don't know if you're going to start expanding your army before or after entering into a trade agreement with Dwarf... Don't they think you're hostile?

"It's 'more merchants should be looking to do business with Dwarves. Why don't we just say at first," We've increased the number of guards in order to keep the security guards out of the thieves targeting that merchant "? Because you're going to need facts."

"Hmm..."

Elias began to think.

Certainly not a bad offer.

There is no burden on the royal family, and we can prepare for things.

There was no obstacle in swallowing this demand.

If there is, there is only one.

"But what a reward..."

The color of the order to say one way or another, "You made money doing business with Dwarves, so boost your army" is strong.

If we make this a reward for Isaac, the others may be anxious about Elias' reign.

"Then would you be authorized to speak with His Highness Jason? I'm so busy this year that I'd love to have the opportunity to see you around next year"

"That's about it, it doesn't matter how much. Still, that's abnegation."

Elias smiles and strokes Isaac's head.

Jude, who was the previous Marquis of Wellrod, was also abnegated.

I'm sure Isaac, too, had the certainty that he would work as well as Jude.
