Chapter 40

A ne is forated to Claris These laws are strict for wealthy people and friendly to the poor Many wealthy people have dropped shoulders Conversely, many poor people were pleased to raise both hands

It’s natural for a ruled person to abide by the law of the ruler But human nature is not so easily convinced Especially those in the privileged class are dissatisfied And a those who are frustrated, it was natural for several people to take action

The beginning is when a ainst the Labor Protection Act

If a ress doubles the labor cost of the workers, they won’t collapse Although it is painful, their assets and foundation will not be shaken to that extent There are many ways to respond

The ones troubled are the h technological skills like the Congressene’s financial acu, and others Inevitably, it’s the industry that does not require such high technological skills such as riculture that is most affected Of course, the competition is also intense

Would they make cheap products to win the coh-quality product? Most merchants chose to make cheap products For that reason, they hire workers with a monthly salary

However, if the Labor Protection Act is enforced, the workers cannot be hired at a low salary rate If labor costs rise, the price of products will be higher, and the h-quality products will take a deficit

Naturally, they went to protest even though it’s impossible And turned away as a matter of course Usually, it would end like this but, aup

He gathered other ainst the saressain The Governor General tried to shoot it down again However, huether The Merchant’s Union kept on protesting

Bravery and foolhardiness is different The very act of the Merchant Union is foolhardiness

The Governor-General, who eventually ran out of patience, arrested the five Congressmen for treason Five people were subjected to intense interrogation by the Governor’s Office It was found out that they took bribes and dealt in prostitution in the past

Most Congressmen took bribes and dealt with prostitution Bribery and prostitution are cri controlled by the Empire, it’s practically safe Corruption and prostitution are common sense in Claris

However, it does not change the fact that it’s a cried the five al wealth accu connected to anti-social organizations They were tried with a crime that you wouldn’t know if it really happened

Both judge and witnesses in the trial were prepared by the Governor’s office There was no way to win In this way, the five people were deprived of their status and rank of being a Congressman All their assets have been confiscated

There are no uilty in Claris Because the five people were crushed, the Merchant Union broke up and disappeared The other an to flatter the Governor General

Incidentally, the properties of those five people were considerable, so the Governor’s Office seems to be refurbished

「What a fool to go against the Governor General Didn’t they understand that it’s reckless? 」

Haruto knows the series of events leading to that incident, frowning his eyebrows Fro flattery to the Governor’s Office is more beneficial He cannot understand the behavior of the five people

「We will resist if our vested interest is violated Haruto

doesn’t know since you just becaressman」

Roa said with a wry smile Before Claris was ruled by the Eressman is delicious Haruto has no desire over the vested interest of being a Congressressive tax systereement

「Ma, froood things that co ruled by the Empire」

「Is it related to the tariffs? 」

The City-State Union has a, except for eli City-States they have deep ties to such as Shufelt, there are still tariffs that will disturb the commercial activities of a merchant

However, after being ruled by the Erated into the Empire Tariffs were eliminated entirely as a result

「There is also that But the best thing is that the law has been unified This will n branches……to areas other than Claris become easier to establish」

Haruto answered Until now, the law has been disjointed aulations on the econo on the city-state, there were also places that restrict foreign business So when they put out a branch outside Claris, they had to follow very curated into the E troublesome procedures also disappeared

「Branch is it……Soap production has also increased considerably I think it’s good regarding ti since Claris alone has become insufficient……where should we establish it? 」

「For the ti, I plan to establish it on Northern and Southern Kirishi+a As a candidate, the nearest Reia After solidifying our influence in the entire Kirishi+a, I’ll establish one in Shufelt」

Sa difference between Asuma Chaoing to break it down little by little around the edges He would use Claris as the foundation to deprive the cities And after the influence of Saan to dwindle, he will attack they

「But Haruto-san There are various problen branch」

「Problem? 」

Haruto asked for clarification

「It’s the shortage of talent There’s no one other than Dennis e can leave the branch office to The Ash brothers would do soave them a counselor……but it’s still three people The children are perfect in reading and writing, but they just lack in experience」

Asu business It hasn’t even been ten years since he started his business So there are no talented people A foreign branch froed by relatives, and it’s also possible to rely on friends, but neither Haruto nor Roa have families or friends

「Even now, it’s tough? What should we do? 」

Asu fine because Haruto and Roa are boring people with no hobbies But there is a lie the branch They also need personnel to report and monitor the situation of the branches

「That’s right I wonder if so around somewhere……ah!」

「What’s wrong? 」

Haruto grabbed Roa’s shoulder and talked excitedly

「There were five Congressman as ousted They were pulled out of their own companies」

A Chamber of Commerce which lost its chairman is the same as a shi+p that lost its rudder

rudder There’s no reason for other companies to miss such a situation The five Chamber of Commerce will meet attacks from many businesses, and be crushed There are no people ant to stay in a shi+p stuck in the mud forever Haruto will reach out here Asu its poith the momentum of a sunrise Many people ant to ride it

「That is a good idea! Let’s hurry and pull the In fact, let’s pull the ones in the same industry……so I say, but we don’t have that luxury」

Pulling in huan this way

Haruto and Roa first requested information about the five companies from their friend, Governor Gray The court was led by the Governor, so the information was easily obtained

「We definitely have the advantage in information」

「That’s right Let me send thank-you honey soap」

It should not fall into the category of bribery

「I see, it’s truly a large business There are hundreds of people including the edges」

「If we include the slaves and the workers, that’s about it The one ant is the top ement」

What Haruto and Roa want is a talent with the ability toreedy

「Collecting just froerous Let’s collect as much as possible without bias」

Haruto and Roa investigated those who deserved to be pulled out Basing on their status and achievehly wash fae

Once they collected the infor them out immediately The procedure is easy

First of all, they call out to the one who they wanted to pull out secretly Doing s frank with each other And being refused Supposedly, it’s because they were thankful for their current company, The real intention is that they want to enter Asuma Chamber of Co is useful here Knowing howforward to, hue to pull out people who are looking for what they deserve

This procedure goes well, succeeding in pulling out seven people

However, they cannot pull them out all of a sudden Even if Asuma Chamber of Commerce is ready to accept them, they have to corets A bird does not foul a nest it’s about to leave (It’s just common courtesy to clean up after yourself) If they fail to prepare, it will be troublesome

「In the end, we solved the problem of human resources」

「I agree If there are other proble out……」

「Mercenaries」

Haruto muttered

Asu Aisha Even if they have five people now, the story is different when they branch out Given that they’re seriously going against Sathen their security

「That’s right……whether to transfer the children fro to Pudding, their skill with the bow seems to be more than ordinary mercenaries」

「I agree We should hire other people for transporting soap But it’s still not enough」

「It can’t be helped For the ti」

「That’s why, do you know other mercenaries? 」

Haruto called Pudding and asked If he called everyone, there would be no security, so he called only one person

「U~n, I know soene-san to introduce you to some? He knows a

knows a lot of people・・・・because he hired a lot of mercenaries」

「U~n, I don’t really want to rely on hih it may be nice to receive an introduction……」

When Haruto is being troubled, the door opened with a loud noise

「Haruto!! Talking about it without me is unfair! 」

Aisha said that and hugged Haruto, also kissing him on the cheek

「Aahh! What are you doing! 」
