Chapter 30 (1/2)

A/N: Time to increase the sales tax!!

※January 24, 14:40

Just now, I noticed that the taxes are not included in the income and expenditures report When I look closely, there's no oil or ash expense I will fix it

17:36

The fix is over The balance is different I'htly e to the development of the story

「Iya~, Haruto-san I think it's been a year One year since you borrowed the 100 million, and it's been two years since we met Please look at Sa It's funny I hope it will remain like this!! 」

Roa cried out in a high tension voice

「You’re noisy so early in theKeep it a little quieter 」

「But we repaid the 100 million With interest Besides, we borrowed 300 ! 」

「Ma, that's right」

It’s now April It's really fast In January, the new slave quarters and factory expansion is finished so it was possible to secure a significant amount of labor force The mass production of soap is also on track The second-class citizens also re sharply

Meanwhile, the Sa well at first, but it looks like the sales have quickly dropped It's because of Haruto's luxury soap which fore by their brand name, but it looks quite severe I plan to puncture it with selling the milk soap in a few months

「Soap can still be mass-produced It seems that Claris' demand has already been met As for the desert people……I have quite the order from Umar And also, orders flooded from merchants from countries outside Claris」

「Ma, soap will not decay It’s a little heavy but not as much as jewelry It's easy to use for trade」

Everyone wants to keep their body clean It's natural that everyone would buy it if you only need 500 Doria

However, Asuma Chamber of Commerce is not without problems at all

「But recently, the ood to sell it in a boooing up due to the poor harvest of olives last year Would you like to raise the price? 」

Roa pulls a face while watching the income and expenditure report

「There is no choice I don't want to increase the rate since it's a cheap thing…… How much can we raise it……about 600 Doria for the normal ones? Luxury soap……raise it to 4,000 Doria? 」

Haruto says to Roa Roa answers after thinking for a while

「There is no particular objection However, there is the danger that custoiven abruptly We should slowly raise the price」

That's true Haruto adopts Roa's opinion

「The other problem is the factory I want to expand more, but there is no land It would be nice if there were a lot of cheap and vast areas with a well……」

A lot of distilled water is necessary for , these are the only conditions, but this is still unexpectedly severe

「Better yet, can't we rant workers froes」

「I see It will likely cost more than the second-class citizens, but the land is cheap ……By the way, hoould you treat the people froes? They're primarily first-class citizens, isn't it? 」

Hearing what Haruto said, Roa looked at him as if he’s stupid Since it's been two years when he caured out the status system so it can't be helped if he doesn't knoever, there is the case of Haruto's situation, too Alkali and lard are purchased outside the castle walls, and it's only a business relationshi+p in the end Until now, he hasn't thought about other things

「Claris is a city forht? 」

「I heard that sobad」

Haruto didn't even think about it He's been reading a lot of books at the library during his free ti history considerably For soes

「Nonetheless, it’s not like there was nothing at all until the es and also fishi+ng villages People in the fares are descendants of them」

According to Roa, Claris has athered all over the world It seeroups are descendants of the people who lived in this land initially Merchants bought land froe farh at first, they coexisted with the natives, the aboriginal people were slowly driven out due to the difference in financial strength It later becaht now Being exploited by the merchants still continues even now She withheld specific names, but it seems that Eu○ne and Br○ch are the major ones

「That's why the people outside the castle walls are legally first-class citizens, but speaking of the level of their life, it's equivalent to second-class citizens, even less than them They're quasi-citizens Mostly because Claris s to these people, but their presence is taboo」

「Why don't the rural and fishi+ng villages do business? It'll solve……」

As Haruto says so, Roa usted with him

「Is it that easy to becoe in soap, and you were able to read and write with the power of a blessing You have succeeded because you received an advanced education , you wouldn't be as successful as you are now Can the quasi-citizens read or write letters? How do you think they would fight crafty Claristo Br○nch, and having debt from Eu○ne, this partnershi+p combo will lead them to the slave course Besides, it's not easy for them to relinquish their ancestral land」

「I see」

That bossy expression is irritating but it was an easy to understand explanation Haruto finally agreed

「In short, I will make a neorkplace for those people」

「……that's a matter of perspective They will see you as a capitalist ants the」

Haruto has also become stained by the Claris merchants For better or for worse

「By the way, to change the topic……don't you think it's recently cramped」

「Eh? What? 」

Haruto asked for clarification

「The room」

「I think it's narrow from the front……」

Haruto looked around the room It's a plain and small rooht with two people occupying it, but they only sleep in here, so they don't really care

「Why did we live in such a room in the first place? This room? 」

Haruto hears Roa say that

「It's because we have no money」

2 years ago, they had noasas they could sleep on it, so they had been sleeping in the guest rooh to buy the shop

「How ht now? Less the income tax」

「E~tto, over 30,000,000」

Haruto's inco every month, ao Haruto did not know his exact monthly income

「Is this the house of a man who has a monthly income of 30,000,000? 」

「In short, it's time to buy a house, is that what you want to say? 」

Haruto replied to Roa

「That's right Do you want me to buy a mansion? You should be able to buy a house more than most people And don’t the rich have to spend money? 」

It's obligatory for the rich to spend their money Rich people spend a lot of money and the econoation to use ument is like that

「But you can still live without it This is just a hobby……now it's my job, but I hope I can make soap I want a delicious meal and a place where I can sleep」

「A sense of life without a dream……」

Roa looked at Haruto as if he was stupid

「Cause I, I'htenment Generation……」

「What's that? Please don't just make up some topic」

Roa says so and grabbed Haruto's clothes

「Anyways, Haruto-san is satisfied but I am not satisfied! Also here, how about a house with a bath? Can't you put it? 」

「U~n, it's te is……」

「I will do the cleaning! Anyways, let's buy it!! 」

Roa raised a loud voice and interrupted Haruto's words, trying to make Haruto buy a house

「That's true Let's buy it」

「Hurray!! 」

Roa jumped in joy

「So, I would like to build a house but what should I do? 」

Haruto asked Domoor

Haruto does not kno to build a house He'd never built a house in japan in the first place, so he doesn't kno to make a house in this world Naturally, Roa also doesn't know

「Why don't you try looking at the ones on sale first? Youif you search」

Domoor said so and took out a bunch of thick papers It's tied together by a string

「Don't worry I've done everything fro some There's no problem if you leave it all tome So then, what kind of property do you want? 」

Do over the bunch of paper

「I want it to have a bath」

Haruto said uninterestedly

「The kitchen should be substantial since the garden can be small I would like a fashi+onable house as much as possible, and so the store……it's more convenient if it's closer to the Central Street In the future, I expect to give birth to e one I want to build a rooh If possible, create a new building other than that (etc」

「As expected, there's nothing」

Haruto appallingly looked at Roa

「There it is! 」

「Eh, seriously!? 」

Domoor shows the material to Haruto and Roa

「Here all the conditions should be satisfied The price is 20,000,000 Doria! 」

Haruto read the material Certainly, all the conditions of Roa is satisfied

「But isn't it too cheap? 」

Anything less than 20 million Doria is too cheap The small and narrow store is 20 million It's a place where transportation is convenient so it can't be said that the land price is cheap But the price is too suspicious

「In fact, 9 o, a need couple committed suicide here Shortly after that, the couple who lived there 3 o committed suicide And after 2 o died in an accident Moreover, you can hear their screaood」

「That's interesting Then here」

Haruto who seemed uninterested so far has finally shown interest

「No no, why! It's a haunted house! Absolutely not I don't want to die Please don't decide on our ho!! 」」

Roa shouted and pressed the material back to Domoor

「It's okay, isn't it? It's cheap」

Do to sell all the bad debts

「Absolutely no!! I'll rip it if you recommend it!! 」

Roa refuse to purchase it by ave up and put the materials back

「Well then, you can build a house normally……what about the land? 」

When Haruto said that, Doain took out a document Roa has a wary face

「The land is written here Certainly, it has a good amount of traffic Here, there are 15 cases that apply」

Haruto and Roa read the documents

「How about this? Traffic seeood There are also lots of shops nearby」

「But it's narrow This one is good You can use the carriages」

「This is also good The traffic is a bit subtle, but the land is wide Are you thinking of having a wagon? 」

Haruto, Roa and Domoor talked for a while, then they decided on one property

「I understand You're good with this one? I'll n after 3 days Come back in 3 days」

Doet up Haruto hurriedly detained Domoor

「Wait a moment I want to build a new factory outside the castle walls Is there any land available outside the walls? 」

Hearing Haruto say so, Doed his shoulders

「I'o to the town hall It's hard to buy land from rural farmers Ah, tell me when you want to build it I can make it immediately」

Haruto and Roa thanked Domoor and left

Haruto and Roa headed to the town hall by Domoor's recommendation

「Ah, Haruto-san Please look El S stomach medicine? 」

Roa pointed to El Ser

「Don't point at people」

While having such conversations, they arrived at the town hall in an instant

「Excuse me I want to check out the land outside the walls Please show me some documents」

As Haruto says so, the staff gave a map and some papers to Haruto The area on the map is subdivided by broken lines, and each section of land has a number
