187 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 【New System】其の2




"First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the reverence my father, Zax Mystor, has shown me.
 After saying that, Yuria put the cup back on the table and sat up from the sofa and bowed deeply to Ryoma.
 The countess bows to the emerging aristocratic baron.
 It would be an unthinkable sight in the land world with its strict status system.
 However, there is nothing unnatural between the two.
 Ryoma took Yulia's attitude as a matter of course.
 This is exactly what the power relationship between the two parties is.
I'm sure you and your father have done a really good job. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of the fact that the two of you are the reason why I was determined to be the Count of Salzberg.
It's not a matter of flattery.
 At first I wondered what the joke was about when I received the secret letter from Zax Mystor, and then I suspected a possible plot, but that was a long time ago now.
That was all in the past now. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you and your son are both going to be the hands and feet of Oyagata-sama from now on, and that you want to be loyal to him.
 Yulia bowed deeply once more at Ryouma's words.
(So far, there has been no suspicious movement on the girls. Since we've received reports from Gen Ou and the others that there's no problem, I guess we should just use them as they are.......but well.......)
 There are only a few people in the Baron Mikoshiba family who can do paperwork.
 After all, the literacy rate in this earth world is extremely low.
 Most of the commoner class would not even be able to write their own names.
 Naturally, there are even fewer people who can do the four arithmetic.
 However, many of the internal affairs require calculation along with reading and writing. 
 Although the members of the Red Lion's group, including Lionet and Bolz, are known and trustworthy, and their fighting ability is high, they are, at any rate, unsuited to this kind of paperwork.
 The two boys and their son, Yulia and Zax Mystor, are the most talented people currently available in the internal affairs of Baron Mikoshiba's domain.
 After all, Julia has been the real head of domestic politics since she married into the Countess Salzberg family, while her father Zax is a monster who ran the new Mystor Trading Company and rose to become the head of the business association in Ipylos.
 Both of them are tricky people, but there is no disputing that they are capable.
 In fact, if the secret letter from Yulia hadn't arrived, Ryojin wouldn't have decided to take control of the ten northern families.
(The rest depends on my caliber.......)
 Such thoughts passed through Ryoma's mind.
After all, there are only a very few people in my family who are skilled in domestic politics.
 When he said that, Ryoma showed him a bitter smile.
''Yes, I know it by heart. I have already arranged for my father to dispatch young talented shares from among the merchants to us through the Chamber of Commerce Union, so........ just......
 When I said that, Julia made a troubled expression.
''Is it too tight in terms of numbers?''
'Yes I would normally have a good number of them, but in this case it's just a little.'
I see... well, I'll work with Simone on that.
Yes, sir. 
 The moment I heard Simone Christophe's name, Julia's face seemed to get stronger for a moment.
Then it can't be helped........)
 It can be said that Julia's family home, the Mystor Chamber of Commerce, and the Christophe Chamber of Commerce, led by Simone, are dogfighting buddies.
 It would be impossible to suddenly ask them to get along, and Ryoma himself doesn't want such an ideal.
''You may rest assured. I'm going to leave the trade area in the northern part of Roselia to Mystor-san. Of course, I'll have you collaborate with Christophe Trading Company, though. Even so, considering the distribution of our products, we should be able to do more business than ever before.
 Julia couldn't hide her surprise at those words.
''Thank you ... but may I?''
Yes, that's right. As long as you obey the law, use good sense and moderation.
 Ryoma responds to Yulia's question with an implied reply.
 At the very least, Ryoma doesn't think that the Mystor Trading Company will refuse to become rich.
 It's not just merchants, but everyone strives to become rich because they want to.
 But that doesn't mean that you can use any means at all, and there is a limit to how much money you can get.
 Ryoma is not pale enough to deny the existence of rich people, but he is not mature enough to forgive a rich man with a heart that can't give a single piece of food to a man who is on the verge of starving to death.

Well it's still in a beaten-down state, so there will be a lot of revisions, but basically that's what you're supposed to follow.
 Yulia gulped at those words.
 The basis of business in this earth world is a metropolitan contract.
 Even in the laws of the Roselia Kingdom, the only thing that exists is the statement that individual contracts take precedence.
 In other words, no matter how ridiculous the contract is, once it's made, it takes precedence.
 There is no upper limit to the interest rate when borrowing money, and there is no need to compensate as it is for the compensation when you make a breach of contract if you haven't made an agreement at the stage when you signed the contract.
 On the other hand, the law that Ryoma is planning to enforce is a stirring change to those customary ways of doing business.
 It starts with capping interest rates and prohibits lending, and it covers a number of other topics.
 There will be some advantages and disadvantages for the Mystor Chamber of Commerce to do business in the future.
 But the problem is that it will be enforced by a single regional lord.
 How outlandish and unusual that is.
(This man is different ... too different.)
 Julia felt an unearthly fear at the man who smiled calmly in front of her.

'Not quite....'
 After hearing the results of the meeting with Mikoshiba Ryoma from Julia, Zax Mystol nodded with satisfaction.
''Father........''
'With the policy of numbering the lords and organizing the rural areas, it looks like the man is serious about creating a country.......which has never been visited by anyone before.
I knew it.....
 Julia sighs deeply at Zax's words.
''I suppose this is what they expected when they raided the villages and concentrated a large number of refugees in Ipyros.
 It was obvious that it would be easier to gather people in one place to create a household register than to go to the villages scattered throughout the territory.
 Besides, Mikoshiba Ryoma forbade such refugees to return to the village where they originally lived.
 It's not too much of a distraction, since Ryoma gave them fields and houses equal to their original property, but it must be a huge burden for the Mikoshiba barons.
''So it wasn't simply to reduce the security of Iphiroth or to accelerate the consumption of food,''
The fact that they are not returning the hordes of exiles that flowed into Ipyros to their original villages is probably a measure to deter rebellion as well... ...Hm, this was a really good buy.
 When he said that, Zax laughed with amusement and tilted his wine glass.
 Julia just continued to stare at her father's figure in silence.
