On his summer break, Isaac was summoned to his grandfather's room.
It wasn't just Morgan there, it was Margaret too.
(This situation……. Right, that's the thing)
Isaac immediately noticed the incident.
"Art was maintained as it stands, but could you please rate the fact that I haven't lost my grades"
Isaac looks at the transcript and wonders if it might be about the results.
"No, I'm not talking about that"
"Considering all the fighting and Judith stuff, I got enough grades for a semester."
But that was a mistake.
Two deny it instantly.
"What I called you for is a loan of money to the nobles. Sit down."
First, Morgan suggests you take a seat.
Isaac sat in front of Morgan as he was told.
And then I question it.
"Is it a bad thing to help someone in need?
"No, it's not. It would be troublesome if it was to create a new faction of my own, but since I seem to be persuading you to be neutral, that's not a problem. The problem is the amount."
Morgan exhales a big sigh.
Hearing rumors from merchants and from Viscount Asher, those who were asked by Count Brander to repay their debts pushed for salvation.
Some of them had nothing to do with Count Brander and were just in trouble borrowing from high interest loans.
- But Isaac lent money regardless of their reasons.
That should be it, too.
Isaac's purpose is to sell favors to as many nobles as possible.
I only thought it would be a chance to sell thanks, even if those in need came in with normal debts.
But that's a problem.
- Lending money means you have to have money available to lend.
Isaac increased the amount borrowed from each chamber of commerce.
Now we owe a total of four billion leads.
In other words, repayments amount to eight billion leads.
This amount was not something that could be ignored for Morgan.
"Naturally, I understand why you are borrowing large sums of money from merchants. Of all the people in need of debt, the Marquis Wellrod family may be rebelled from jealousy when it is the only ones making money. I also know that I should spit out the money I've saved for these opportunities. But isn't it too much to double it in six months and return it?
"I wouldn't have rented it if the gold had been in the mansion of the King's Capital. But I don't have any money now. I'm multiplying the fee to convenience the money quickly. It also includes the gratitude for the voluntary donation."
"Maybe it is...... Eight billion, eight billion leads."
Morgan held his head.
The amount of eight billion leads was an amount that even Morgan couldn't move easily.
With all the Marquis' property (...) in mind, there would be hundreds of billions of leads.
But even with the property, I don't have as much cash.
Something happened, but it wasn't commensurate with my income.
The reason for this is in the position of Marquis.
There are only four Marquis families in the Kingdom of Reed.
Moreover, it can be a facial role of factions or a heavy town of the state.
Even if there were territorial revenues, they needed expenses commensurate with their revenues to make them look worthy of the title.
As a result, even with property such as jewellery and works of art, there was little cash left.
"Isaac, remember? When you got mad at Dennis at the Braak Chamber of Commerce."
"Of course it is. I tried to trick my father into taking 100 million leads."
I remember that time very well because Isaac was inspired to start moving a lot.
It was also the first case I seriously learned to be angry since I was reborn.
"Yes. If you buy me a hundred million leads of merchandise, a different merchant will buy it for 200 million leads later. I was hooked up with that kind of money-making story and fooled. So why did you get on with that story? You see?"
"Not to make money?
To Isaac's answer, Morgan shakes his head sideways.
Margaret had a similar reaction.
"That's right. But that's not enough. Making as much as 100 million leads of cash (...) will be a handicap for Randolph, the next owner. That's why I got into the conversation. You know what I mean? Even if it's the Marquis, a hundred million leads is a lot of money. Yet you use it like hot water. I know it's necessary, but could you give me a few more calls?
"Oh...... I'm sorry about that. He told me to be free, so I thought I'd let him know later."
Isaac wanted to complain about his grandfather moving a lot of money on his own.
I guess I got anxious because I'm moving in billions, not billions.
"And they're going to give Norman a bounty of over 100 million leads, right? I wanted you to tell me that, too."
"Why is that? Sure, I paid 10 million leads on the spot, but when I get back to Wellrod, I'm going to pay from the funds I'm saving?
Isaac didn't understand what Morgan was saying.
I knew I shouldn't spend my house money on my own until I paid my men, so I was going to pay for what I gave Norman from my own savings.
I do it on my own stomach, so I just don't have the muscles to complain about.
"It's not. I have no more complaints about spending the Marquis Welrod money than I told you to be free. All I'm saying is I wanted you to teach Norman to give him a reward."
"Why..., ah..."
Isaac finally realized.
That this is not just about Norman.
"Even to Benjamin..."
"That's right. And Benjamin isn't the only one. While we're gone, we have to reward Francis and the others who play the role of voicemailers. More than Norman."
Norman had followed Isaac since Nathan was alive.
He was on Isaac's side.
I'm also not going to deny that it rewards as much as 160 million leads, given Isaac's feelings.
But Morgan had problems with his behavior.
- It's a reward for my ministry.
The fatter Isaac is, the more his grandfather, Morgan, is really compared.
"That we don't have? Even though I've been making money lately," because everyone thinks I am.
Morgan can't help but do nothing.
Though following Isaac, I had to do a reward commensurate with their work.
We could ignore it if we were talking about other houses altogether, but Isaac is not just the Duke of Enfield, he is also the trace of the Marquis Welrod family.
Morgan had to get excited so he couldn't beat his grandson.
"In the meantime, I'll pay Benjamin and Francis two hundred million leads. The others are going to pay the right amount for the position. If you'd told me earlier, I could have let you know that I would reward you at the same time..."
Morgan had a little grudge. I look at Isaac with my eyes.
Because of my grandson, who is too big a vessel, it feels like he's been ketched.
Though he says he's given enough pay.
"It's no use telling Isaac."
"Grandma!?
Isaac is astonished by Margaret's thrusting words.
"This kid was six years old and made tens of billions. He also gave Baron Olgren, who provided the venue, about nine billion leads in share. I literally have a misdigit sense of money. It's not a billion-dollar thing."
"Speaking of which, I was..."
Morgan even holds his head again.
Isaac was winding up a lot of blinding money from the merchant.
Plus, at six.
It is also natural that the sense of money goes crazy.
There's a reason he didn't realize that.
"How many times did I intend to tell Isaac then, 'How much can you let me in the house'...... But I couldn't imitate the kind of money my six-year-old grandson earned, so I forgot because I was trying not to think about it. Right, if you're six years old and you're making that much money, you don't care about 100 million units..."
Morgan squeaks smudgingly.
It is not where the vessel is large.
It's like they brought you a tub where you looked at the stew dish and rated it "deep" and "wide".
Not the size I can already appreciate.
At that time, Isaac had accommodated as much as 1.6 billion leads of money for the Foreign Secretary's backwork.
Even if I didn't put money in the house, I was six years old and I was running the idea of spending money at all costs when it came to work.
Morgan realized that he seemed to know about Isaac and didn't really know.
"Though it's in a friendly relationship, it's enough to lend Sam a five-billion lead as well. The size of the nose is immeasurable."
"Yep. I hesitate to spend it at all costs, no matter where I understand where the money should be spent. That thoughtful goodness is a big weapon, too."
Morgan and Margaret praise Isaac for the size of his vessel.
You can't just be decisive or smart.
- Even though it's better than not being able to make a decision, sometimes it's better not to make a decision if you're not thinking about it.
- Smart and brilliant proposals come to mind, but if you can't make a decision, it doesn't make sense.
Because of the combination of intelligence and gall, Isaac is able to achieve results.
I never thought they would remind me of the difference in vessels until I lent them money.
But they were wrong.
- Isaac's vessel is not immeasurably large, but much smaller than a regular person.
Isaac's vessel is small.
When I was a college student in my previous life, when I couldn't eat with friends because of class.
When I was in the mood for a burger for lunch, I was running a 250-yen campaign at a nearby beef bowl shop.
The set of burgers I was going to eat was 350 yen.
"I was going to eat a burger, but if it's as cheap as 100 yen, I can have a bowl of beef," she changed what she eats.
There is no deep meaning in that saving such as "to save money because I want a car".
I was just attracted to the difference of 100 yen.
But Isaac was purposefully buying openers, not motorcycles, light cars, etc. to feel the wind.
When shopping in millions, my sense of money became paralyzed.
This is more or less for everyone.
Some people in the world look at supermarket flyers and care about the difference of a few yen, but when buying a whole house, they think of the difference of tens or hundreds of thousands of units as an error.
Isaac has a lower threshold than a person.
So when it came to some large amount of money, my sense of money was paralyzed and I was just looking like I was fat at first sight.
"I know it makes sense to save money. If I didn't have the money, I wouldn't have been able to pay my condolences to the families of the soldiers who died in the war, or make up for the reduced earnings in the cities and villages where the workers were reduced. But if you have some money, you should invest in people. Because if you can motivate those you can rely on, they will prove you worth more than what you invest."
"I know. I know... Civilians, especially secretaries, are pretty fruitful. Because they give you care to talk to me. You should also consider the area."
"Okay. I'll be careful in the future."
Isaac also found out that his grandfather cared about his sense of money, so he listened very carefully to his advice.
(But you should do it in moderation...)
But if I need two more years, I'm going to spend as much money as I need.
I guess it's normal in this world to get attention.
Maybe it's just a habit.
But that means that if you return the back, you may be unhappy with your current salary.
I have trouble getting important information leaked with change.
Isaac needed to think, "I can't talk with that amount of forehead,"
"By the way, I'd like you to bring me about 20 billion leads when your father comes to King's Capital... You should be able to save more money by then, okay?
Isaac made an outrageous request with a modest attitude because he had just been advised by Morgan.
Morgan just frowns, too.
"Twenty billion? Isn't it enough to have ten billion leads?
"Ten billion leads is enough for repayment to merchants. But only the nobles in the King's Capital loaned it. Some nobles are now returning to their territories. Considering the amount to lend to them, I think it would be better to have more funds available."
"Mmmm..."
What Isaac said was good.
The nobility in the Wang capital was able to act immediately, but the nobility in the province takes time to receive a letter from Count Brander demanding repayment.
In winter, when I came to Wang Capital, I could think of enough money to borrow.
Lending to other nobles and not lending them money may seem unsatisfactory.
I had no choice not to lend it.
"... Let's send out a messenger for Randolph. This isn't your money, it makes sense to do it with the Marquis Welrod money. Right?
"Yes, some people would say, 'They're both the same gold,' but it makes sense to get them out of the wallet of the Marquis Welrod."
If we get the money out of Isaac's savings, the surroundings misunderstand.
It attracts many students, especially in schools, calling it the "Fourth Faction".
They may think of it as "trying to create their own faction beyond existing factions" or "trying to change it with dissatisfaction with the current kingdom".
You should avoid extra suspicion.
In that regard, if you fund it from the Marquis of Wellrod, it's still better.
Morgan catches my suspicious eye.
Morgan himself doesn't want to upset the faction's balance dramatically, but he says, "Isn't the Marquis Welrod after the head of the faction, just like the Earl of Brander? ♪ I can get you to see it in the wind ♪
The material of concern in this matter is what it seems from the Marquis of Windsor, but naturally it is not a problem because Morgan is talking about it.
If you have trouble with money, some may even divulge state secrets to other countries.
The Marquis of Windsor also welcomed me as "preventing those whose debts may cause them to run wild before they do," which would help to stabilize the nation.
In the first place, I'm telling you to follow Count Cooper, so they don't think it's an act of power.
There have been rumours that Morgan has made faction nobles "a little harassment of the Count Brander family that tormented the Count Lancaster family," and there was no way Isaac was going to be as worried as he was.
"Oh, but it sounds like you should take this opportunity to bring some from my savings to King's Capital. It's troublesome to borrow from merchants if necessary."
"Borrowing from merchants isn't bad in terms of having connections. Well, it would be better than paying a huge interest. Write to me and have me bring you the amount you need."
"I will."
I borrowed it from the merchant this time, but I can't always use it.
"I don't have credit, so I can't do it without collateral" might come the time.
In case that happens, I wanted to have some money.
"But let me know when you move a large sum. I don't disagree. Especially with regard to rewards."
Exactly. Morgan seemed dissatisfied with being hurt in the face, too.
Press not to forget.
Nor did Isaac smile bitterly, and he looked sorry for himself.
"Okay. But get used to the fact that the Marquis Welrod family can move a lot of money."
"That may be so...... Hey."
Morgan throws a gaze at Margaret like she's in trouble.
She also gave a troubled look.
"You're tough on old people. What I've been used to in my life."
"Maybe I should leave the house entirely to Randolph now..."
I've made progress from talking about gold to talking about retirement.
I couldn't keep up with Isaac's thoughts because I thought Morgan was too old to keep up with the changes in circumstances.
In the first place, this is a misunderstanding because there are fewer people who can keep up with Isaac.
Norman, Matt, and Tommy.
Everyone just thinks, "You just have to believe in Isaac to keep up."
I don't fully understand and follow your thoughts.
Morgan didn't know that.
If I knew what true Isaac looked like, I'd say, "You can never retire or anything!" I would have been determined.
