After I had tested, I remembered that I need to print the introductory letters to all the 580 cosmetic shops all over Japan that had been discussed earlier with the Head Messenger. Imeditated and went into the Realm of Mind and looked at the heavy print set that I had transferred from the soap processing area to the smelting one.
I wrote in English on the introduction using a thick sharpie and it automatically translated to Hiragana. I stated the Fasuto Japan is inviting all the owners of the cosmetic shops over to Kitakata Town to introduce several products that would be interesting for them.
As for the trouble of them coming here, there would be free accommodation in order to rest up the night over and be able to continue their journey back to their own Prefecture. I noted that those coming over by sea to Shibata or Ibaraki to keep their journey tabs so that we can compensate them.
We do not accept physical gold coins but preferred them to carry a blank slip deposit so this they could fill in the blanks and then we could just deposit in our own Kitakata Treasury.
I allocated the days to be from Monday to Thursday and the arrival date would start in 2 weeks time from now. After writing it and auto-translated to Hiragana characters, I set it on the heavy print set like a photocopy machine.
The paper that I used was onion skin and was translucent. It had a red boxed border with the seal of the corporation after I had signed on the bottom right-hand corner. It looked elegant enough during that time. I pressed once to copy and print to see how was the end results.

Upon recovering the dispensed paper at the end of the heavy print set machine, the letter looked exactly like the original and I keyed in 600 letters just in case the Head Messenger was a bit inaccurate in his findings for the number of cosmetic shops around the prefecture that we had not ventured into.
The heavy print set immediate set to work on the copying and printing and in about half an hour or so, 600 copies had been ready. If this works, Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha is going to be unstoppable and would be conquered at least 90% of Japan's cosmetic market.
I retrieved the copied papers and held on to it as I logged off and went back to the real world. I carried the papers to the garden and placed it on the garden table. Upon seeing a Messenger, I sent a note for the Head Messenger to process the payment so that when she comes to collect the 600 printed copies, the payment would be settled there and then.
"You went back to the Realm of Mind just to print these? I saw the machine earlier but I think we were all too busy preparing the 6000 pieces of Refund Steel Plates for the next orders. According to my records here, we have an excess of a total 156,250 Refined Steel Plates in stock at the 1st warehouse now."
"With the addition of today's work, we would have a general total of 216,250 Refined Plates. With this quantity, we would be able to boost the total income and savings of 4.3 million gold coins to boot our economic stature of Kitakata Town."
"According to the status given by all the storekeeper, we have more than 90,000 crates of compiled list of products that had not been introduced and once this starts to move, the warehouses would be at only 33% capacity full."
"That's great, Sensei. You had improved quite a lot within the past few months and you really are capable of handling all these. I had chosen the right business partner to be the caretaker in case I wish to retire early. Hehehehe."
"Hah...!!! Where you gonna head to with the 10% of shares that you have?!"
"In case you would like to know, gold coins are very hard and cumbersome to carry and I would like to smelt them and carry them like a Refined Steel plate instead. Hahahahaha. This would be the birth of a gold bar in the near future."
"Hahaha... I don't think it would be accepted by the Treasury because of its weight and value once you smelt them. Sometimes you have a lot of crazy ideas, but most times they are workable."
"Yup...we might even take this industrialisation era one step ahead of other countries. Just that, I am not an engineering or mechanical student so I won't know how to design something that would be most beneficial to the economic structure of Japan."
"By the way, read this letter and let me know what you think. I should have present it to you before I mass print but I think this offer that I made for them would be beneficial for the shop owners if they come by ship, landing in Ibaraki and Shibata."
Hiko-sama took a leaf of paper and read and was satisfied with the explanation. He pointed out, what's the use of having so much money where its best to give back to society. I nodded my head in agreement as what I used to say before.
Some 25 minutes later, the Head Messenger from the Messenger Guild came over with an assistant. We explained to them that we need to send these letters pronto and asked her to calculate the total amount for the trouble.
After some time, she said the amount was 1,044 gold coins and the furthest Prefecture which was after Nagasaki would receive the letter by 14 days max. I informed her to hang on while I took the bundles of 20 coins and passed 52 bundles and 4 gold coins.
She counted a bundle and made the rest lined up and trusted me with the amount after about 5 minutes of measuring them up I signed a receipt and said that the couriers would be giving me an acknowledgement slip once the receiver had received the letter so that we would know whether their business is still up and operational.
Their way of doing things was rather systematic and we both liked the idea since she had implemented it for the Blacksmith alliances before...
Suddenly a dark cloud emerged just above my head and a streak of lightning and ear-splitting thunder roared afterwards ...! It wasn't a lightbulb anymore, folks...! I had a tremendous idea. I recalled back the list of the calculated cost for each Prefecture. The Head Messenger wrote down of the cost to the main Prefecture and then left.
Right after she had left, I summoned for Hachi and Hoshi-sama to the garden as the duo had not been actively involved much in our conversation in improving the economy.
"Hmm... I saw the dark clouds forming over your head and I thought you gonna die when you get struck by its little lightning... Hahahaha. You had another creaking idea again, right? And from the smell of the hair that was singed by the lightning, this is gonna be good news...!"
"It's gonna be a piece of God-damned good news if they agree on my proposal," I said as I rubbed my hands excitedly.
