Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

The following week, the test period for the durability of the rubber ended.

Every product was durable without any problems and Heggard allowed commercialization about rubber pull cloths, cushions, sandals and shoes. He said he would match up with the protector on the slingshot. I haven't even done the scheduled slashing tests, especially for the protectors. But I can't help but disagree with what I've decided once. As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to commercialize a protector with a high unit price, but Heggard wouldn't allow commercialization for weapons. But at the same time that I gave instructions to continue improving my weaponry, I also told Farn and Miloo to instruct me to be able to produce rubber. Regardless of the improvement, I have no problem with the instruction at all, so I will take it with a double reply.

But there's one thing I can't solve.

"Father, may I instruct others in the village?

"Um, I'll talk to everyone about that after dinner this evening. Until then, as usual, encourage archaeology."

With that said, I just took a seat saying I'm done now. I guess I'll go around the realm. I rested until noon when I ran out of MP doing my morning magic training without being blatant. Anyway, we have time for discussion after dinner.

After dinner, Heggard left the lamp on fire when he looked around at the whole family and said, "We have a little to talk about today". Farn and Miloo, who don't know what they're talking about, look at each other and they immediately turn back to Heggard. Was Charles listening to the general story beforehand, smiling as usual as he calmed down? Looks like Heggard is going to wait until Mun prepares a bean tea that tastes like tea and it gets to everyone. I don't feel the need to alienate Mun anymore, so I'll shut up too and wait until my last cup of tea is ready.

When my tea was ready, Mun left the room. I don't know if you're going home, but when I glanced at Mun, Mun smiled back thinly.

"Well, what we're going to talk about is what I've already discussed and decided on in Char with me. But Farn, Miloo, Al, if you have another opinion, you can say it. In some cases, I'll rethink it."

When Heggard says so, he looks at everyone's faces in turn again.

"I think we already know that today is the day to identify the durability of the rubber products Al was talking about before this. Well, I was just asking the guys who use it how it went, so I didn't think it would end up being a problem first. As expected, there seems to be no problem, so we decided to produce some rubber products in the village of Barkud and sell them to other cities. I made the products for sale into sandals, shoes, rubber pull cloths and cushions."

That being said, Hegaard wet his mouth with a sip of tea.

"I'll drop you off this time about slingshots and armor. The reason for this is that in the future, rubber products will be Barkud's core industry, so at the same time I thought it would be more expensive to actually use them and prove their excellence in the next outing that could happen. Uh, I mean, the rubberized goods are going to be so famous that Barkud can be proud of them wherever they are served. So I'm going to do a lot of work to make it more usable, and then I'm going to try to actually use it in the next fight and sell it to people who don't know that rubber weapons are good stuff."

I seem to have reworded it so that I can understand Miloo, who had a face I didn't understand well from earlier. But were you thinking about that...

"I immediately notice its excellence when I try using sandals and rubber pull cloth. I don't know what to say about not actually putting it up for sale, but that's what Shall and I thought. I'm going to give it some high value, but it will still sell there. Whatever the serfs are, they're not going to make it an amount that the civilians can't handle. Well, I still have no idea how much I'm actually going to sell it for, so I'm going to pack it... But that's not the case with the weapons that are going to keep your life. I can't believe you actually slashed it every time you put it up for sale, and you're not going to try it. Therefore, we will continue to make further improvements to the weapons and take them to the next battle. Come on, it's time to hear from you. So after showing them off, I'm going to sell them to other nobles on the spot in some cases."

I see, are you going to sell in on the weapons with proof of action (Combat Proof)...... I didn't think that far. It was getting high that even sample armor would be sufficient if it was prepared and slashed in a large city with many people. But you've often thought of proof of action (Combat Proof) or something. I don't know if this idea is Heggard or Charles, or something that came out while we were talking, but my parents aren't lords to Dada either. Besides, it's a big deal about business.

"So again, there's something I want you to remember and put down. Well, there are some secrets about rubber products. It means you should never divulge that secret except to your family. There are still a few secrets, but if there are more products, there will be more secrets in the future. If there is anything else, I will ask if I have a good opinion, but I have already decided on this, so I will not change it. It's the Gried family's call. That's good."

Everyone nodded.

"Al is going to know a lot about how to make rubber products. I'll tell you now, correct me if I'm wrong."

As Heggard looked at me, he began to explain the procedure for making rubber products. I didn't have to pinch my mouth along the way because I wasn't particularly wrong. Just touching my description and a sample of the rubber product often allowed me to explain it so accurately, but I guess Heggard was that serious as a lord. I understand well that I wasn't just asking, and Hedgard's comprehension is a big deal.

"In short, you don't inherently need magic to make rubber. Take proper steps and take the time to make it for everyone. But you know it's more efficient to use magic for a few steps when you're dry eating the most time? Then, mixing not only the sap but also the powder of charcoal with the powder of the yellow stone of the mountain in the north increases the elasticity, and adding it further eventually becomes stiff and ebonite. Everyone will have predictions that there will be a mixture, and we will be making a lot of what it is mixing, and we will not be able to hide it if there are more ingredients to use. But it's a secret what percentage to mix and how to mix it. That's good."

Everyone nods again. I see, well, should I keep mixing rates and procedures a secret? You wouldn't be able to keep it a secret about the other elements, as Heggard said. Afterwards, Farn and Miloo had an appointment to learn how to make rubber from tomorrow. At the same time, I was told to increase the production of rubber. This meant that it would be good to use people around the squire, so it wouldn't take much effort.

As far as I can tell, there are 265 paragomic noodles that serve rubber sap. I've only collected from 30 trees so far, mainly due to labor issues, but discussions have resulted in an increase in the number of trees to be collected to 200. Later, the trees were planted elsewhere and used to increase the number of rubber trees, and they didn't dare do anything to avoid running out.

It's been a long time, and I guess I saw the kids get sleepy, and this is the day I'm going to sleep.

The collection of rubber went well and production increased exceptionally. Well, I'll get the sap, powder the charcoal and sulfur, and I'll just mix it up, and yes, there's no way there's a failure. As for the mixing rate, I made a note that I had compiled, so I couldn't go wrong. Over the course of two months, I completed 20 leather boots on the rubber bottom, 100 rubber sandals, a 1 m wide rubber pull cloth for 50 m, and 10 rubber cushions. The rubber itself uses only half of the production.

Having made sure of all the quality, Heggard said he would take a few squires and, rarely, Schal to the city of Dorrit for sale. He also says that in some cases he may even go to Keel, the capital of the Marquis. I don't know how much time you're going to spend over there, but how long is it going to take to sell it directly? I'm starting to think it would be bad if it didn't sell now, but if you think calmly, you can't. But I'm not going to say that without pointing out the problems I've shelved so far.

"Father, have you decided on the price of each?

I ask thoughtfully. It won't sell if it's too expensive, and even if it sells cheap, it won't cost you to buy or maintain livestock.

"Oh, I've already decided. Sell sandals for 10,000 zennies and shoes for 30,000 zennies. 5,000 zennies for a meter and 20,000 zennies for a cushion."

Oh, shit. I don't know how much it's worth.

"I see, because of this, how much is the horse priced in one head?

"Well, if you're a horse at home for some baggage, you're at a place called six million zennies on your own. It would be like 10 million zennies on a military horse that could be used for the war I'm riding."

What? Then it's a little over two million even if it sells all the inventory now at the right price as planned. It's not enough at all... Um, I know the price of horses seems expensive because they're originally precious animals. But I don't know the price of rubber. By the way, how much is a Zeny worth? Finally, the lack of a sense of economy has become a problem.

"Um, how much do skin sandals usually cost? And boots."

"Mm-hmm, yeah, I guess the sandals are about 3-5,000 zennies. I just said 12-15,000 zennies for boots just like this one."

I see, I'm not sure. However, I know that it is cheaper to say that it is about double or a little more expensive than an existing product that is comparable to a rubber product.

"Al, I know what you're worried about. You're gonna tell me this is too cheap, aren't you? But don't worry. This is only the first time. If you're going to sell a lot soon, I'm going to stop doing business in Dorrit and go to Keel and sell it for about five times the price. I'll be fine."

Saying so, Heggard stroked my head and watched my luggage load.

Um, how about five times the boulder?

Three weeks have passed. The Hegards are not back yet. We were brothers who stomped that we could relax because we didn't have parents, but Beckwith Eisenside, the squire chief, is bound to come every day at noon to abduct the three of us and force us into the archery of the squire's sword. I didn't have much of a problem with it because I was only bluffing originally, but Farn and Miloo seem to be being treated thoughtfully.

Seems easier to ask later than the usual heggard mentored archery. Oh, come on, then I couldn't help but wonder how much they usually treat me. Don't be discouraged when I wonder if I'll mix with that in a few more years, too. But that's what I need again, and I can't help it.

It should be noted that no new contacts have been made since the last contact (connection). About three months after that, I don't even get to go hunting every night, wondering if it would be time if I had my next move. In fact, I've only been hunting twice since then. I just want to avoid saying that I don't have the magic of a bracelet when I want to use it, and I just have to compromise that this is where I have no choice.
