Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill Chapter 161

Published at 23rd of August 2021 01:21:47 PM

I've decided that we need to make an urgent decision, so today's discussion is over.

I intend to discuss and decide on a detailed internal affairs policy several times later.

"First of all, I have invited the lords to the castle, so we must prepare for the feast. Probably coming."

I see. Let's get you ready. "

I accepted Ritz's proposal.

I haven't received a reply because I just sent a letter, but I don't think they will respond that they won't come. As a young man, you may not like me becoming the governor of Canale County, but it will be difficult for a single lord to speak up because it is a move at the discretion of the clan. At least Hamand Plaid, Lord of Tolbekistan, will come.

My daughter Lycia and I are engaged. Even if you don't come, you've never gone too far to prepare.

... so what do we do with Lycia?

I had promised to get married when the war was over. Marriage itself has no grievances, but the war is not yet completely over. We are in an overwhelming position, but we have not yet been able to drop the enemy home of Alcantes. There will be another fight soon.

I personally think we should get married after the war is over, but I don't know what they think. I'm more likely to come with Hamand, so I'd better talk to him at that time.

A few days after we got them ready for the feast, we received a letter from Lord Tolbekista, Hamand Plaid, and Lord Khmer, Kral Orthrow, stating that they were going to Canale Castle.

I was preparing for a feast that day.

"Arus-sama, Sin Seymaro is coming to the castle to see Arus-sama. Will you meet him?

That's what Ritz reported.

Sin Seymaro... I didn't know for a moment, but I remembered right away. A man of high airship aptitude who was the Imperial Capital.

When I became Governor of Canale County, I promised to help financially and help develop the airship.

"Arus, do you intend to invest in the development of an airship?

Ritz asked.

It's a promise.

"Well, I have to keep my promise... but honestly, the fiscal situation in Canale isn't so good... especially now that we've just had a fight... I think it's better for Sin to have some time here."

Certainly because there were fights, Canare can't afford much more money than I thought. I still have more room than Lamberg.

But what does Sin think if he makes you wait here? Originally, it doesn't even look like a very patient type.

Besides, I want you to build an airship as soon as possible. Assuming that the first to develop an airship was the Lovent family, it would be of considerable benefit.

"The airship is important, and I want you to develop it as soon as possible....."

"That's right... I don't know how much money Singh would require for development, but instead of paying all the requested amounts, what if we paid about a third first and the rest later? Without the full amount, we can develop it for the time being."

"I see... okay, that's it. Bring Sin."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Ritz brought Sin in.

Singh talked with a good look on his face.

"Wow, that's amazing! I honestly never thought I'd really be the Sheriff! It's worthwhile following Ars!

Apparently, I was half-hearted that I could be governor of Canale.

"So you're going to pay for the development? I've just double-checked the airship theory, and I'm pretty sure I can fly with this. As long as I have the money, I will definitely make it."

That's what Singh said with a confident look.

"Actually, it's nice to be the governor of Canale County, but I can't afford it."

"Nah, what did you say!? Then you can't pay me!?

"I didn't say that. Let's start with a third of what we need. We'll resume our assistance as soon as we can afford it."

"Mm, mmm. Can you afford it?

I'll figure it out.

Singh has a slightly dissatisfied expression.

"Okay. You promised the County Mayor of Canale you'd do the same. Don't trust Ars."

Looking straight at me, Singh declared.

Then ask for the required amount. It was certainly difficult to pay in bulk for some of the money, but I could manage to pay one third of it.

Prior to paying the money, I redeemed the contract prepared by Ritz with Singh. Ownership of the created airship is a written agreement that the Lavender family owns. There are several other provisions to prevent the leakage of technology or to secure the interests of the Lavender family.

Singh seemed interested in making and flying, and if he left the piloting to himself, he said he didn't need any ownership, he put a bloodmark on the contract

Thin's airship development has begun.
