The Brain of a Duke Princess

My sister

"…Excuse me . Young madam, it's almost time for your meeting with Sei. ”

While there was an awkward atmosphere in the air, Tanya called out to me. … It's time. Due to Berne's sudden arrival, I couldn't relax at all.

"Mother, I have to leave immediately. Mother, please take your time and relax. ”

"Yes, please allow me to do it. Oh, Iris-chan. Can you take this stupid kid with you? ”

"… Uh?"

'This stupid boy, ' he's referring to Berne, right? But why…?

“Please show this stupid son the way you work and close him for me. And if he complains, it's okay if you hit him. Tanya, thank you in advance when the time comes. ”

“... With respect I obey. ”

If it was Tanya, I'm pretty sure she would indeed do it. Well, if she starts fussing, it's okay to throw her out .. isn't it?

"If that's the case .. Let's go, Berne. ”

"… Eh? You are ... older sister …? ”

Berne looked at me long and hard and looked surprised. As I thought, he completely forgot how I looked?

"Religion . Who do you think I am anymore? Since I'm running out of time, let's hurry. ”

I went straight to the study room. And Sei was already standing inside waiting. When Sei saw Berne enter right after me, he furrowed his brows but he immediately pulled out his report and handed it to me.

I see him again.

“... The advantage of the sugar line has been slightly decreased. ”

“That's because another store appeared selling the same product. Moreover, it seems like they are selling it at a cheaper price compared to us. ”

“... No need to lower the price now. Consumers will buy which product is better. ”

"There is also the idea of lowering the purchase price of raw materials …"

"Rejected . If you look at the value of the stock, this price makes sense. If you lower it further than this, it will worsen our relationship with the farmers. So in order to maintain or build a good relationship with them, we have to secure better shipping routes. ”

To run a successful conglomerate, it is necessary to pursue benefits. However, I do not want to pressure the farmers in the fields for profit. It will be more expensive if it is sold at a higher price, and also, I think the price is enough.

“In addition to cheaper price, find out if there is anything else. Check the line-up of other companies, then compare and do a product review. Also, how is the progress with the cake products we will be selling starting next week? ”

“Everything is on schedule, all preparations have been made and we can start selling it next week. Information about the product called 'birthday cake' is being leaked by laymen .. but thanks to the cafe that originally had the cake on the menu, it was well received by the public. At the moment, many questions are being asked. ”

Keyword for ads is “cake special for special day. “As birthday, or wedding anniversary. When they make a reservation, they can specify the decorations on the cake, its shape, and the cream as they order.

“If that's the case, I'm happy. Please bring the question to me. ”

“It's here. ”

I read for a moment the documents that were handed to me.

“... Most questions regarding the ordering method and when it will be sold. … When this is running and running, the advantage of the sugar line will be slightly increased. After that, how will you manage the inventory? "

“As the young mistress ordered, we will sell the leftover designs from the previous stock bit by bit at a discounted price. ”

"Is it so . … It will be ideal to prevent out of stock. But with current and market figures, if the decline continues, we will barely break even. Especially seasonal ingredients, it is best to limit their use because of their scarcity value. ”

"I understand . ”

“Beauty line goes well as usual. However, we currently ... have a situation where production cannot catch up to demand … "

"Yes nih . The product was sold out in all stores … "

“Create priority to adjust the production of beauty products. Also, how do series products do? "

“It also keeps growing. Currently, the Honey series and the Rose series are on sale. Next up is Lily and Lavender. ”

In this series, for example, Honey series honey is used to make beauty lotions, shampoos, and rinses. If the Rose series, roses are used for everything. They are placed in their respective containers and packed together.

"Is it so . Please advertise that depending on the person, some ingredients may not be suitable for their skin, so if they start to get a reaction to the product, discontinue its use immediately. ”

"I understand . ”

“After that, please bring me the report of all the stores. Both financial and periodic reports. I'll see them at night. ”

After I said that, Sei said he understood and bowed before leaving the room.

… Now that I think about it, Berne is completely silent .. or so I thought. But when I turned to look, I saw that Tanya had tied her up with a cloth inserted into her mouth. But I think it might not be necessary. I mean, his eyes were wide open in amazement for a while now.

… Now that I think about it, Berne is completely silent .. or so I thought. But when I turned to look, I saw that Tanya had tied her up with a cloth inserted into her mouth. But I think it might not be necessary. I mean, his eyes were wide open in amazement for a while now.

When I looked at Tanya, asking her to take it off, Tanya immediately understood my point, and she took off the cloth.

"What's wrong, for you to make such a stupid expression?"

"… Sister, is the conglomerate in charge of management?"

“That's because I founded it from the beginning. ”

Right after that conversation, someone knocked on the door of the study.

"…Please enter . ”

The one who entered was Moneda. Moneda too, as he looked at Berne, he furrowed his brows and immediately ignored him as if he did not exist.

“There are a few things I want to consult with you. When I asked Tanya about that, she confirmed that this time it was okay … "

"Yes, right . So, what do you want to consult with me? "

“It's about commodity price here at the fief. As you can see, we have a situation where the price continues to increase a little. ”

“It's really very small. That may be because the value of money is gradually decreasing, so prices are rising. ”

“I think it's not needed yet. Even though the price increased, it was very small. So at the moment, the main priority is to stabilize prices in the market.

City consumption will increase, conglomerates will ask banks for loans, further reinforcing the trend. If you raise interest rates, you will throw cold water at the conglomerates who have put so much effort into gaining momentum. ”

"So .. I heard something good. ”

“Once again, open the board and discuss. If you still want to raise interest rates after the previous explanation, please give me a reason I can agree with. ”

“I understand, thank you very much. ”

"… Umm, older sister …"

"What's that?"

“If I am not mistaken, bank, what financial institution was established in our region recently? Why is the sister in charge .. ”

“When you think about it, is there no answer that comes to mind? If this is only this much, even if you have to do your own investigation, you will soon find out..With your position, it is inexcusable for you not to know. Seriously, do you have any intention of replacing the current Duke as the head of the family? "

“When you think about it, is there no answer that comes to mind? If this is only this much, even if you have to do your own investigation, you will soon find out..With your position, it is inexcusable for you not to know. Seriously, do you have any intention of replacing the current Duke as the head of the family? "

When one thought about it, Moneda's manner of speaking was really rude, but the argument he made made was reasonable, even Berne could not argue.

"Well, let's give him the answer to his question this time. The one who proposed the establishment of the bank was your older sister. Therefore, it was natural for me to come here and consult him. … Now, Iris-sama. I will immediately report the contents of our meeting to the board, is that alright? "

"Of course . I'm looking forward to your report. ”

After Moneda leaves, Sebastian appears and replaces him.

"Madamary young. In this meeting, I would like to make a collective report on the management of vacant land. ”

"Yes, I'm waiting for that. First of all, how is the adjustment of the Finance department? ”

“Talk is ongoing for reforms that you want legislation to reduce taxes. First, in relation to our fief products. Today, our main products are wheat, livestock, cocoa, and various other fruits.

Cacao fruit is strictly produced in our region, and no other region can produce it. As for grains, thanks to the advanced planting methods achieved by the research of the SMA division, we have secured abundant supplies. So, even if we reduce taxes, they think that we will not decline. ”

"…Is it so . Instead, it's worth it? "

“Our production line has not been ordered. Therefore, we can import it cheaply, and we think it is a big advantage.

In addition, the young mistress' instructions of conducting trade by sea were now operational. And we have collected many materials and products that are not in our Kingdom. Therefore, our land will be profitable if the conglomerates sell this domestically. ”

"…I understand . Also, please give me the board meeting report and income tax draft. As for when is the right time to introduce it, I will give instructions later. ”

"I understand . ”

“After that, Public Affairs. After they have finished making the family list, ask to investigate the land. I want them to get clarification on who owns what land. In the future, since the family list will be a legitimate document here on our land, make sure it is done without fail. ”

"Yes nih . Today, Public Affairs has notified various places in our region to advise people. 'This is an official policy that will benefit us, please cooperate with us. “We are almost done and will be able to proceed to the investigation soon. ”

“That's great news. After that, what is the utilization rate of elementary schools in various places? "

“It has improved greatly. In addition, people can attend it for free. Because there are still some districts that do not yet have schools, that may prove to be a problem in the future. ”

"Let's get Public Works doing the job. What about textbooks? "

“It has been separated into several levels. Currently, children from the ages of seven to twelve are in the same class, but discussions have taken place to separate them based on their respective ages in the near future. ”

“Consolidate age of entry to seven years. And they'll be taking classes every school year. However, exams will be held at the end of each year, and one will be allowed to pass grades depending on their results, what do you think? "

“I will make a proposal soon. ”

“Consolidate age of entry to seven years. And they'll be taking classes every school year. However, exams will be held at the end of each year, and one will be allowed to pass grades depending on their results, what do you think? "

“I will make a proposal soon. ”

“Then, please bring the income tax report and draft we talked about earlier. … Ah, that's right too. Mom told me to show Berne how we work .. So, when you go to the Treasury to collect income tax documents and draft, so, when you go to the Treasury, you go to the Treasury to collect income tax paperwork and, please take him with you and have him calculate the tax revenue from various places. ”

Since I've been glaring for a while now, I'm really tired. I'm asking you to leave this place without delay. And since he had always been the first in the academy, he could at least do some calculations.

"… Because that's the case, Berne. Please do that for me. … Please show the full ability of someone who has always been the first champion in the academy. ”

"…of course . ”

With lifeless eyes, he frantically stood up and followed Sebastian.

… Haahh ~ I can finally calm down.

"… Is that okay?"

Tanya asked me while pouring tea.

"What do you mean?"

"To involve that person in the government of the fief. ”

“There is no special problem with it. I don't intend to control government information. And Sebastian went with him, so he probably wouldn't do anything weird.

However, when it comes to Azura Conglomerate, as expected, I cannot show her too much. And the meeting with Sei previously only touched on content that had been released publicly. ”

Even though he was my younger brother, I did not believe him at all. For this reason, when it comes to business, I cannot let him touch Azura Conglomerate.

… As for the government's fief, in addition to classified and military information, my motto is "Politics Transparent," so there is not much confidential information.

"… In addition, Ryle will be coming here soon. Although they were called Security Patrol Units, they were still considered military personnel, so this was sensitive information. It would be troublesome if that little brother of mine, who was part of his entourage and all, leaked this information to the Second Prince. I think that's a good reason to make it go away. ”

"Religion . ”

Tap, tap. With the right time, I heard a knock on the door.

"Please enter . ”
