Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend Chapter 162

The next day, I returned to my official work as the chamberlain. Although this position was given to so that I could go to the palace without drawing any suspicion, I still needed to do so work as chamberlain just for show. Plus, other nobles would get suspicious if they never saw in the palace (since I was in the exclusive library, located in the basent) despite my position as a chamberlain.

Thus I had no choice but to begrudgingly do my job as the chamberlain, even though I was already busy as it was. I an, the number of books in the exclusive library probably crossed ten thousands. Lily and I needed to read them all! My head hurts.

I was told that I would do my chamberlain job once every three days. If anything happened, I needed to prioritize my real job in the exclusive library, so apparently I would only be given a job that could be transferred to soone else at any ti.

As for the investigation of the strange passage, His Highness people would do it. His Highness had ordered that no one could leave or enter the passage while the investigation was going.

I was really curious about what exactly was hidden in that passage, so I was a bit disappointed that I couldnt take part in the investigation, but since I got a promise from His Highness that I would be told of the result of the investigation later, I guess it was fine.

The job I was given today was organizing the tableware warehouse. It felt like I was indirectly told that I didnt need to finish it by today and could just do it at my own pace since this job was just a cover for my real job.

Was this how those spies who pose as so ordinary civilians working a normal job felt?

It was also decided that when I wasnt working in the exclusive library, Lily didnt have to co to the palace, so she was currently continuing her education in the Zeavert mansion. Mother called a history and a dance tutor for Lily. I hope she was doing fine.

So I dont have to check the food ingredients?

Yes. Food ingredients will be checked by a specialist so viscount, you can focus on managing the tableware.

I understand.

This world was mostly a dieval world, but the royal court was unexpectedly modern. I was glad for that.

Well then, lets split up and do the inspection. Pay close attention and replace any cracked bowls and dirty silverwares.

Yes, sir.

This kinda reminded of the ti when I was a military commander. The entire team was split into smaller groups to inspect the boxes containing all eating utensils. Thankfully, we had the magic lamp, so the warehouse wasnt dark.

Is there any problem with the number of silverwares?

No, sir. The number of silverwares matches the records.

Alright. Hmm Wait, we will change the boxes placent. Those who often co to this room, raise your hands. (Welner)

I noticed that so people were going to return the boxes to their original places, so I stopped them. Hmm I see. So the average height of people that often ca to this room was roughly this high?

Alright then. Put the boxes in a way that boxes that contain the most frequently used items would be easy to access. Use the average height of you all as standard. Also mark the boxes so you know whats inside of them without opening them. (Welner)

In the afternoon, I finished my job in the warehouse, then I attended an economic eting as soone to distribute the materials of the conference. There was no way soone of my age could interfere in the economic decisions of this country. Hence, my role was just to carry the materials, hand them to the participant, then sit back and watch silently.

This is the material that will beco the next topic of discussion.

Well, the materials themselves were already prepared, so I just needed to hand them to the participants. To be honest, I did have stuff I wanted to do rather than silently listening to a boring eting, but it wasnt like I got any choice.

I could feel that so people inside of the eting room glanced at from ti to ti, probably because, officially, I was being demoted since I went from a governor of the royal familys land to the chamberlain under Pri Minister. Lets not think about it further.

The eting then started. The eting mainly discussed how to handle the loss that our kingdom suffered because of the demon army and the current financial situation of the kingdom. What I didnt expect was that there was also a topic of debasent.

Debasent was sothing that countries did sotis when there was a financial problem. In Japan, the famous debasent happened in the Edo Period while in the west, it happened at the ti of the Hundred Years War. By mixing the silver and gold coins with so other tals, the countrys economic burden could be lifted. Debasent was certainly an effective tactic in a short ti.

However, in the long term, debasent would cause inflation to rise. Unlike Edo Japan that had little to no contact with foreign countries, this kingdom had a lot of trade with foreign countries. If the value of the money in this country changed, it could easily cause various problems internationally.

Furthermore, once our generation tried the debasent tactic, the future generation might try it again after seeing how effective it was in a short ti. Debasent was like a sweet slow acting poison.

Above all, in this dieval world, money was often used together with other currency. During this period of ti, the inflation would slowly increase and in 5-10 years the inflation would beco so high that it could destabilize the financial situation of the kingdom.

I refuse to deal with high inflation in my 20s. I didnt have any right to speak in this eting, so I should write a proposal later.

But if I just sent my proposal containing only objections, the proposal would definitely be rejected. If I wanted the proposal to get accepted, I needed to think of an alternative way to get money.

In my experience as the governor, there were so cases where the taxes collected from guilds was fewer than the standard, so I should investigate the tax from the guild as the alternative solution in my proposal My head hurts.
