Chapter 69: Next Business Item

"It is truly a shame that I have to send you away like this," Princess Justia looked at me with pitiful eyes.

But what can she do? By order of Duke Crawford, she was forbidden to leave the country.

He say that if sge hang out with another man, the rumors will spread even more.

Ah! Thank you, Paley III, for saving me!

I thought that perhaps this gift was given because of the effectiveness of the Cordyceps Sinensis Danhwan.

It was a bit of a shame that she had such skills. Isn't she a person with good fortune?

The Cordyceps Militaris experiment was also successful thanks to Princess Justia.

But if I think about it for a moment, it's a question with a clear answer.

Imagine a woman looking down at you with a grumpy expression, a warhammer slung over her shoulder.

She didn't kidnapped on purpose, did she?

She thought a prince would come to save her like in a fairy tale.

If I had gotten kidnap, I might have been able to escape on my own. Of course, common sense would tell you that that wouldn't actually happen.

"It is the King's order, so there is nothing I can do. I hope you stay healthy."

Please, marry that guy named Izukayanji.

Of course, I kept the thought to myself.

Soon I set off with the long procession.

The Duchy of Crawford and the Western Confederation were relatively well-off economically.

There was no reason for them to stagger just because they had exported this much material.

Besides, aren't they buying it with the money they earn here?

As markets became more active, politicians around the world welcomed the development.

So much so that I received countless marriage proposals.

How high do I think my popularity will go?

I sat back in my chair, praising myself inwardly. Time passed by without stopping, and it was finally time to arrive.

"Oh my! I'm so bored."

There were still a few incidents when I was dispatched from the Empire to the Deliat Dominion. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Since there were not many people, we sometimes encountered monsters and bandits.

But now, there weren't even such small events. Because the scale of the movement was so enormous that it could almost be called an army.

In that situation, the mercenaries hired as escorts were also just loitering around.

Like playing a game where you throw daggers and hit the target.

Whirlirik! Bam!

"Hey, I lost."

"Kekekeke! Hand them over now. One Ceylon each."

The game seemed fairly simple.

It was basically a game where they would nail a plank to a tree and whoever hit it the most would win. It seems really trivial, but it still looks quite lively.

When money is involved, everyone tends to get excited.

That's what makes betting fun. But I'm not interested.

Do you think I'll be happy if I win a few coins there?

Me, with a fortune worth millions of golden?

Of course, that couldn't be the case at all.

Why would nobles engage in strenuous activities like wrestling and hunting? It was because I felt such terrible boredom like I do now.

"If there was something like a board game, it would be less boring… … Huh?"

I gained great insight from a single word I blurted out without thinking.

I'm not the only one bored in this world, am I?

It would be the same for all people, whether they are men, women, old or young, dogs or cows.

Oh, shouldn't the latter be omitted? What are you talking about? Animals love to play too.

This is the next business item.

* * *

The money earned from selling Cordyceps Sinensis was reinvested in the Government-General.

Not all of it, because the craftsmen's shares and employees' salaries had to be deducted.

Of course, even after deducting all the expenses, the profits were enormous.

Even the loan borrowed from the Duchy of Crawford was enough to be repaid in a lump sum.

Cordyceps Sinensis extract is truly a high value-added business. The margins are just so enormous.

"I think this will be enough for the time being?"

"That's enough. I haven't handled such a large sum of money recently."

Hojein's eyes widened as he looked at the pile of gold coins.

Deliat was roughly similar to the Duchy of Crawford.

Except for the natural environment, such as territory, population, and economic scale, it was virtually identical.

Only one thing was completely opposite:Their attitude towards the empire.

If they keep complaining for no reason, Deliat will end up on the path to destruction… Oh, this isn't really an important story.

In any case, it was a medium-sized country, slightly larger than the small countries of the West.

Originally, it was normal to have to touch several hundred thousand goldens.

But during the time when Hojein was in power, the country was always in a state of beggary. So even the governor of the autonomous territory couldn't help but be surprised.

"Start a large-scale civil engineering project with this. Aren't there things you've only thought about but never done? I'll lend you interest-free money."

"Is that okay?"

"You won't be able to afford the interest for a while anyway."

"That's true, but the conditions are so generous to us… … ."

"It's okay. My goals are different from those of the previous governors."

When i make a positive change in the world, my power increases.

Even though it may seem like they are just handing it out, they are actually reaping some benefits.

Moreover, the financial benefits would also be enormous.

As the Deliat Autonomy develops.

Anyway, I am the owner of the single-use factory, and I will expand the business area infinitely in the future.

Since there are no obstacles, I can say that Hojein can enjoy the benefits as he wish....even for while.

Although his heart was dark, Hojaein was shedding tears.

"Kuuuuk! This is the first time someone has thought of us this much. Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Governor!" Discover tales on m_vl_em_p_yr

Before I knew it, he was on his knees. I supported Hojaein with a somewhat embarrassed look on my face.

'No, why do he have to say it like that? It's really nothing.'

"Hey! People are watching. Stop crying and get up."

"I will save this money as much as possible and invest it in the right places. Not a single coin will be wasted!"

"Do that, but there are some rules you must follow."

"Just say the word and I will follow you wholeheartedly."

"No matter what kind of activity you do, make sure the workers are paid their wages. From this day on, forced mobilization is prohibited."

"Of course…what?"

Hojaein just blinked his eyes with a bewildered expression.
