"We will continue to consider paper bags, but we will continue to consider them so that we can do something about them."
The Director of the Department of Finance says.
"Please."
And what I want to ask you is, have you collected all kinds of unused swords and put them back in the chunk? "
Takeo asks the two of them.
"I don't know much about the provinces, but if you say it in the King's City, then you're doing the business.
We ask each workshop to buy the collected goods at a cheap price. "
The Director of the Monopoly Bureau says.
“How about quality?”
“No problem.
However, the price is a little higher compared to the imported products. "
"... Is it expensive?"
"Yes. Ah, but only a few."
No one has said anything about the quality of the sword, so I think the quality is okay. ”
The Director of the Monopoly Bureau says.
"In the province, it may be cheaper to collect the goods due to the transportation cost from the capital city."
Since steelmaking would not be possible at the scale of the monopoly bureau, it would be possible to make about one bottle in each workshop.
Since Lord Kita Mizato came up with something? "
The Director of the Department of Finance says.
"No, there are old paper collection and paper making, so I thought about whether the sword steel can also be collected."
But... yes, selling swords and cooking utensils collected from the region to the capital doesn't appeal to you. "
"There is a charm in itself."
However, under the current circumstances, if the purchase price is not kept down, it will not lead to sales.
Isn't the province handled by individual workshops in the provinces? "
The Director of the Monopoly Bureau says.
"Really... hmmm... is there anything else I could collect in the provinces and sell it to the capital?"
Takeshi says while thinking about it.
"Is it a prerequisite to sell it to the capital?"
The Director of the Monopoly Bureau and the Director of the Finance Bureau said in dismay.
"Even if I spin things and money in the territory... currently, I am exchanging clothes and alcohol with the capital city."
I still feel that there are many products purchased from the monopoly bureau. "
"Well, the fact is that the purchase price of any aristocrat is generally more than the sale price to the capital city."
Lord Kitamizato wants to change that? "
"It would be good if the sales amount exceeded the purchase amount... but suddenly you can't go that far.
If I could, I would already have commercialized it... I just thought I'd have to think about how much I could narrow the difference.
Is there anything else? "
Takeo asks.
"Worcester Sauce is only coming out of the Royal Castle, isn't it?"
What do you mean, put it all over the city? "
The director of the finance department asks me.
"It's a contract, and the jurisdiction of the capital is the 1st prince's family."
Please contact us. ”
Takeo says.
"Lord Kitamizato, I'm recovering the sword from the previous one, but I may ask the demon kingdom to ask the people from each region... for the future of Willip's alliance."
"I won't go out into the realm."
It is the jurisdiction of the Elvis family over their territory.
Consultation is not possible, and the owner of the Elvis family and the clerks decide on price negotiations and decisions.
By the time I was asked, I felt like I was going to be replaced by the current Count Elvis and the next Lord of the Elvis family.
I'm looking forward to seeing you. "
"No, I need you to help me convince me."
"It can't be helped, let's focus on negotiating with the King's capital for my cute little brother-in-law."
"Don't be so motivated to come this way.
No, I want you to be on our side. ”
“Please refrain.”
Takeo answers with a good smile.
"... erm?"
"It's wrong to ask me to do it in the first place."
I told you about Elvis, didn't I?
Besides, the iron retrieval from each territory will be known to His Majesty at that time, so I'm sure House Elvis will follow.
I know what you want iron for, not what you think of your Majesty or the capital.
However, looking at the demand for iron in the realm, it will be a condition from the Elvis family that we have no choice but to do so.
If you want more than that, you need some kind of price.
Where can I persuade you?
All you have to do is negotiate with the Elvis family on a budget at the Monopoly and Treasury bureaus. ”
Takeo says.
"Nh... that's true."
The director of the monopoly bureau said as he thought about it.
"Besides, from the current principal, it has a relationship with my grandson, and from the next principal, it has a relationship with my brother-in-law, but as a policy, as an Elvis family, I will not consider such matters."
And why would I negotiate if it wasn't in my interest? "
Takeo asks.
"Hmm... can you do something about it?
At the moment, the war budget relationship is still very difficult. "
"Nothing will happen."
If Elvis doesn't make it, you can only procure a minimal amount.
Director of Finance, do you have a spare? "
"It's about grain."
Lord Kitamizato, can you supply cereals from the Elvis family? "
“That's the Elvis house too.
I don't know what to say.
You are also in high demand in the realm with the iron.
However, I am currently buying from the Earl of Temple because I don't have enough wheat to produce in the first place.
Do you think so? "
Right...
The Director of the Treasury turned down.
