Upon receiving several documents from Else, Liesche lowered the samurai from the reception room.
"So..."
"Mr. Lieche. I'll give you some advice first."
Tully raised one hand to encourage a halt and laughed.
"Are you sure you want to add extra suggestions, etc? Your product is fantastic. If you agree with the sales strategy of" selling as a high value product for nobility, "we will pass at that point."
"No, Chairman"
Liesche turns to him and tells him clearly.
"Keep talking, keep talking."
- Let me tell you something.
I nodded and offered Tully one of the documents at hand.
"First of all, this is an arrangement regarding the salaries of the Garchhein State. Three years ago, this country was given a minimum wage."
"Oh, funny"
Tally looks intrigued and glances at what Liesche has written down.
"I see. Employers must pay more than this amount to any worker. Is he who violates it a sinner?"
Liesche nodded.
"Since this measure was made possible in the Garchhein country, it has ceased to mean that 'no matter how much you work, you cannot live' and you can now earn a steady income. And that's what thrilled me about the richness of the country."
"However, only those who have gained a working mouth will be retained for the benefit."
"... you're right"
Tully's words are targeted.
This measure put out by Arnold led to an increase in workers' incomes.
But for that matter, the benefits that have to be paid per capita increase, and the expenditure on the part of the employer increases.
Employers have begun to minimise the number of people they hire.
As a result, there have been fewer cases of 'I have trouble eating no matter how much I work', but the 'I have no place to work and I can't eat' layer still exists.
"Continue, check this out"
Liesche shows Tully the second document.
"Suppliers of materials or workshops for manufacturing. We gathered all the information we needed for mass production, such as distribution routes. As you can see, the cost of manufacturing can be considerably reduced. - Except for labor costs."
"... man"
As Tully embarked herself, she put a cheek wand on her own lap.
"I've been able to read what you want to say, but shall I ask you for the rest of it? What are you going to order us to do with this meal?
"I'm having trouble working, hiring people in the Glades"
Liesche keeps his spine right and goes on like this.
"We will only provide the technology for this product if you can promise us this"
……
From Tully's eyes, the light that was somewhere belligerent faded away.
"This is also a fine thing to do"
As he sighed deeply, he looked at the leachet with a chill.
"But.... I'm disappointed in you, Miss Leishe."
"Kane Tully! What disrespect to be the Crown Princess of this country!
"No, I don't mind"
Usually stops the languid knights and faces Tully again.
"Even in this proposal, the interests of the Chamber of Commerce should be sufficient. It would be inferior to a nobleman."
"A greedy merchant like me isn't satisfied with that, then. If you want to spend money instead of business, please wait until I transfer to the clergy."
That was the answer as I had imagined.
Tully is not cold with others. But they have an aesthetic for business.
That's why Liesche told him.
"This isn't a charity, it's a business story."
"... what?
Tully flaunts her face.
The other executives don't understand.
"Once upon a time, one said:" Leading merchants can choose their customers, "he said.
The person who once taught me the word looked at Leishe with a difficult look on his face.
"I also learned the other day that in the Garchhein countries, after the war ended, they invested in the poor at huge national expense."
"I know that story. Surely, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took measures? Many people have been saved and enriched, and so on, it became a subject of merchants."
"Yes, but if His Highness had not taken the measure and only the royals and nobles would have fattened their private bellies, the people would have starved"
In his merchant life, Liesche went around the countries of the world.
Some of them, like the Garchhein nation, belonged to the victorious side, but not all of them were rich.
If we did poorly, there was even a country that became much poorer than the losing country.
"When consumption falls, the economy lags behind. Then the worker loses his job and gets poor again. If that cycle happens, even royalty and nobility who live on taxes paid by the people will be a community of destiny."
Then Tully laughed sarcastically.
"I mean, is this what you're trying to say? 'Even if you keep your wealth in one place, you can never be rich. If so, let's share it with the poor."
"No. Just a little more, the way you prefer to say it"
Leishe grinned, telling Tully.
"Chairman. - Instead of choosing customers, from now on, why don't we create them in our hands?
……
At that moment, he looks away.
Liesche kept the word going.
"People living in slums can't be 'guests' to many merchants. Anyway, they just eat it every day."
That's what Else told me the other day.
Some days they can't afford to buy excess stuff and can't even have a satisfactory meal.
Leishe has also had difficulty eating in her past life until her work was on track.
"But think about it. What the hell would happen to the market if they were given jobs and earned just enough to live without anxiety about tomorrow?
"... it's..."
"Someone who hasn't been a customer until now becomes a customer by getting a job. Increasing the number of customers' mothers increases merchant sales. The circulation should ultimately lead to the greater good of the Chamber of Commerce."
He drew a circle with his index finger and Leishe smiled.
"Because all the products from the Aria Chamber of Commerce are wonderful. If there are more customers in the market, the Aria Chamber of Commerce will make the most money."
"... is"
That moment.
Tally laughed out of her belly loud, listening with her cold eyes until now.
"Ha ha ha ha! I like it, I like it!! I mean, here's what you're trying to say. Don't pick customers, grow them to be customers!!
"It could be a very small number at first. But if we expand our business, more people will be able to get out of poverty."
"Doing so also raises the tax revenues of the Garchhein country. For the future Crown Princess, is this a story that will benefit you?"
It's a way of saying it without a body or a lid, but it's roughly not wrong.
Liesche was initially trying to do Tully's assignment as a merchant.
I was hoping I could propose such a business with little profit and loss.
However, he learned about the measures taken by Arnold and was lost in that policy.
It wasn't until I heard Else's thoughts that I was sure.
I'm sure what Liesche should have done was not do business as a merchant, but as a Crown Princess.
Something that benefits and prospers the nation and leads to people's abundance.
That richness is not just to say that you can eat without any trouble.
It contains such hope that you can live without forsaking your longing and dreams.
"I don't think this is the right answer. Still, it's one of the few things I can suggest right now."
"No, not bad, huh? It seemed like my thoughts and beliefs were revealed and I had a lot of fun."
I changed from my boring face earlier, and Tully seemed terribly happy.
"But Miss Leishe. You're still immature."
I remember this smile.
In the merchant's life, whenever Liesche, who was a subordinate, failed, it was the grin that Tully was floating around.
"I told you before, didn't I? You behave too truthfully to deal with a merchant. Such things are seen underfoot, seen through, and used."
"... thanks for the advice"
"I don't know why, but you still want our chamber of commerce. I'm just beginning to use that obsession to try and squeeze him out."
"I have a bad habit of chairman," the executives look frightened. And, of course, Liesche was thinking the same thing inside.
"Hey Chairman. The other princess is the Crown Princess, stop it."
"Come on, what do we do? Your proposed business has a lot more than a hundred points to add difficulty to. If we dismiss it and let him bring another proposal, there's going to be even more delicious stories..."
……
Liesche slowly meditated his eyes.
"I don't expect you to let go of my business conversation."
"Well, I've only seen you a few times, and I'm glad you know me well."
"... if I could, I really didn't want to use this hand"
Sigh and give me the last paperwork.
"Oops. What's going to pop up next, huh..."
At that moment, the color of Tully's eyes changed all at once.
"... this is"
"Chairman? What the hell is going on?
Anxiety and agitation can be seen in his expression.
Always floating, Tully hastily opened her mouth.
"Miss Liesche. How do you know about this?"
