Chapter 722
I was able to speak my mind more
I told them what I had been thinking.
Sebastian was narrowing his eyebrows as if he found the idea very strange.
But Claire…had a more flexible mind, and seemed to understand.
“Yes, that’s right. If people do not own horses, then we should just let them borrow horses instead. We will be able to make more money that way. It should at least be enough to break even?”
“Borrowing… Similar to places where they share horses?”
“Similar, but not exactly the same. Say, if you are heading to Ractos from Range village. And there are post horses in each village and town. You can borrow a horse and go to Ractos, while also changing your horse along the way to save time.”
“I see.”
In reality, it won’t be every village and town. But we didn’t need to talk about that right now.
“When you arrive in Ractos, you can leave the horse with the place that is in charge. Now, sometimes the person may take the horse back to Range village, when it’s time to leave. But that won’t always be the case.”“Hmm… Have extra horses in every location, and then the borrowed horse goes to a different town… And then the place you borrowed from will get a different horse?”
“Yes. If it all circulates well, that is… It will be necessary for someone to manage and adjust the number of horses.”
Kind of like a car rental service.
A rental horse service, if you will.
Only, this time, you didn’t have to return it to the original place, which made things more complicated.
“That being said, since it is something new, it will have to be managed carefully. And it could be expensive… The horses could also be attacked by monsters or stolen.”
“Well, there are certainly some issues with your idea. Still, it is a very interesting one. Hmm…”
“Yes, there are some issues. But if it was possible, then it would help with the development of this land, and increase the interactions between the towns. Isn’t that right, Sebastian?”
While I had thought of it on a whim, the two considered it seriously.
In my old job, whenever I made a suggestion, it would be shot down violently by my boss. But I knew these people would not do that.
Besides, the point was to give them advice that they could maybe use for other things.
“It’s too early to really say anything… But depending on how it is done, it could be profitable. For the duke’s house and all of the people. Mr. Takumi…this idea. Would you be against some changes to it?”
“Huh? It was merely a suggestion… You can do whatever you like with it. If there are other better ways, those should be pursued.”
“Thank you. We shall give it some thought. And then I will discuss it with His Grace…”
Apparently, Sebastian was looking at it positively.
This really was different from my old workplace…
“Z…zzz…”
“Huh?”
“This sound…”
“Oh?”
After we had finished talking, I heard the sounds of someone sleeping.
I looked at Claire and Sebastian, and then we turned our heads in the direction of the sound. Liza and Tilura were sleeping peacefully while leaning against Leo.
Leo had been sitting earlier, but she was not curled up as if to protect them from the cold.
“I suppose we have talked a little too long?”
“Yes. I was too focused, but now that I think about it, we are in the garden… This is no good.”
“The sun has already set. Even with Leo, they might be cold… Thank you, Leo.”
“Wuff.”
