1726 Episode 1712 Go to the monopoly bureau. 3 (Rock salt and straw paper.

"I can't help but think that the situation will change once the royal children are born.

"Speaking of which, it was around the end of this year that you were born.

Is it just the right time to make wheat or rye?

If we don't increase it now, the rise in rye could last a long time.

"The information will be suppressed to a certain extent... Well, everyone will be skeptical this year, but after they are born, they will want to know what kind of training they are doing to each royal family, and if the three royal families are regular users of barley tea, there will be people who will buy and fish.

Still, if we look into the harvest time, everyone will know.

Until then, I think that order will be maintained even though we are somehow confused, but it will be a little difficult to think of the same after next year's harvest.

"Royalty, aristocracy, and the civilians of the King's City (we) are in an environment where things are easily available.

If the public finds out under these circumstances... it'll be even thinner.

The director of the economic bureau and the director of the monopoly are talking.

"Lack of food due to popularization of the recipe, lack of steel and building materials for war and territorial relocation, urgent human resource education in various places... If the mass psychology works poorly, will the thinness spill over to clothing?

Takeo said with a little daze.

"One end of it involves Lord Kitamizato, too.

The Director of the Bureau of Economic Affairs pointed it out with dismay.

"It's not like I'm stirring things up.

... it's going to be a rough time.

"That's right.

Well, it's only worth it.

The monopoly bureau may still have a better shortage of personnel than the human resources bureau or the military bureau.

"It moves people all year round.

Besides, there are a lot of training and promotion examinations.

It seems difficult to identify people.

"When people in the provinces hear about the lack of human resources, they say, 'What is the King's Capital saying? This is harder.'

Takeo says.

"That's... that's right.

Quitamizato, please keep it a secret.

"I'm pulling it out of every part of King's Landing, and I can't help it.

"Indeed.

The three laugh at each other.

"Ah... yes, the director of the monopoly bureau, can I sell the salt if it is produced from Elvis territory, for example?

"Earl Elvis doesn't face the sea, does he?

Normally, salt can be removed from the sea... is that rock salt?

The aristocracy on the north side of the First Prince's family is the prime source.

But I've never heard of anything from Count Elvis, have you been discovered?

The director of the monopoly tells me.

"No, I don't.

However, there is a possibility that it will be discovered when we develop mountains and so on in the future, so I would like to ask.

"If we wholesale 60% to the monopoly bureau and sell more than 20% more than our price, we only allow sales within the nobility.

Souvenirs, right?

For all steel... please sell it to King's Landing in Earl Elvis' Landing.

You can't allow tea or pipe leaves.

It is subtle about clothing raw materials and paper making.

If it is manufactured in a way other than the one we manufacture... you may admit it.

I can't tell you how to make it, but... please describe the ingredients and manufacturing method in the text and apply with the actual product.

We will discuss whether permission can be granted if we take a method that is not our manufacturing method.

The director of the monopoly tells me.

"... manufacturing method... I don't ask you that, but I have one question.

"As long as the answer is within reach.

"Do you currently use wood or grass as the raw material for paper?

The Director of Economic Affairs leans his head.

"Paper raw materials are not very well known within the monopoly office... why do you use both types?

The director of the monopoly asked Takeo with his eyes slightly sharpened.

"Paper... No, you can make things like paper from minerals, metals, animals, plants, etc.

However, if you look closely at the paper that is widely used everyday, you can see that the elongated filaments are unevenly compressed or dried.

These trees and grasses are formed of filamentous tissue called fibers.

And... if you look at the amount of paper that is distributed, the amount of raw materials alone cannot cover the amount of paper that is produced today.

I don't know why I made those two types... because when I look around, I think they're even exhausted.

If you make it from here, you can cover the amount.

Furthermore, given the fact that it can be manufactured regardless of the season, it is likely that it uses some kind of wood.

Well... the wood is hard, so I'm sure it's quite a struggle.

By the way, I think that the monopoly bureau is partitioning clothing raw materials from the old grass to make paper.

Maybe he refined the paper with the rest of the raw material after making it.

Well, this seems to vary depending on the season.

It is considered difficult to produce regardless of the season as it is today.

So I make paper out of trees or grass, but I think it's made out of trees now.

Takeo says.

"Hah... Master Kitamizato, you're past your mastery.

By the way, I understand.

However, which wood and how it is manufactured is a secret matter.

This is an oath that all members of the monopoly bureau will remain silent for the rest of their lives, so basically they shouldn't go outside.

If a book with a paper purification method is sold, it is important enough to ban and collect it immediately.

"It's one of the country's sources of income.

Well, I'm not going to eat it, but I'd like to make something a little cheaper.

"Nh... I don't know if I can get permission, but... by the way, what are you making?

"I wonder if I can make paper from the huge amount of wheat straw that can be thrown away during the season.

I think I'll name it "Half Paper."

Takeo said so.
