307 306. Winter Festivals And Donations
The upstairs is also in a hurry. People who walk down the hallway early with documents, guild members who travel between the counter and the documents room, and a slightly loud meeting in a soundless conference room.
It's the end of the year.
When they entered the Chamber of Commerce, Ivano and the Commercial Guild member were facing each other at their desk.
Ivano explains several documents, divided into left and right.
"Keep going, we'll check the delivery date and the signature of the person in charge, and then please check with the other party as this may be a quantity deficiency."
"Thank you, Senpai Ivano! Thank you very much."
The young Guild member bowed his head deeply to Ivano and thanked him. He also confessed to Darya and left the room.
Good morning, Chairman.
"Good morning, Ivano. Was it your last job?
"Yes, I'm sorry during work hours. Since it was my first year-end processing, I was worried about checking the documents."
Ivano was a commercial guild member until summer.
Thanks to you at the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce, Darya has been very helpful, but the guild side, through which he was able to escape, must be very helpful.
Sorry for that, I heard a knock.
"Good morning, I have the letter I received this morning."
It was Mena who came in bright.
I got two bundles of letters. A bunch of letters is like a big postcard written on only one side.
"The end of the year will increase....."
"Yeah, it's the last sale of the year."
"But what's the point of introducing the Magic Lantern to the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce?
"I'm sure it's coming from one end, but it's the end of the year."
A single letter is a lie of propaganda.
Those who want their family and friends to buy something with a budget that floats at the Chamber of Commerce send a letter in the form of a letter to say hello to their work partner and to match the accounting book at the end of the year.
"Wow, this magic lantern is expensive!
"It's for the nobles. It says" pure gold is used. "
Maena is surprised at the top-of-the-line glitter.
Certainly, there was an amount I wanted to see twice.
A magic lantern decorated with pure gold and jewelry - the design is fantastic and very beautiful, but I don't think I'd like to leave it in the room.
This looks like a lot of taxes.
Twenty-five minutes. Because it's a luxury product. "
Ivano responded immediately to Mena's words. Perhaps you have most of the tax rate in mind.
Ordine's taxes vary greatly from object to object.
Food and magic stones are inexpensive, but other items and luxury goods have higher tax rates.
Gems and precious metals have high tax rates.
Normal furniture, clothing, and shoes are decent, but taxes are suddenly higher for one or more gold coins.
At first glance, it seems reasonable, but with regard to magic equipment, there is quite a tax on life related items. Because it made it convenient for what I didn't have to do.
Darya is a little uncomfortable with that.
The truth is that we want water heaters and heating and cooling magic equipment to be a necessity.
"Well, the tax calculation is a little further, but since the winter festival is approaching, I wanted to put together the 'Donations' paperwork."
"Yes, thank you."
Daria sat opposite Ivano, and Mena sat next to Ivano.
Everyone has a serious face since the donation word came out.
"Reach out to the loose" - this has been the policy of the Kingdom of Ordine since its founding.
For this reason, "donations" are largely made in the Kingdom of Ordine at the end of each year.
In this regard, there is the "good deeds of Ordine" and the "evil habits of the kingdom", as well as both extremes.
Before the Winter Festival, individuals, shops, chambers of commerce, etc. each donate money and things at their own discretion.
There are many different destinations.
Unlike taxes, there is a significant difference in how much you can give by specifying a field or department.
The most donated is the temple.
Even if you get seriously injured, you can be cured with the money you can reach, or you can pay in installments because you have a donation.
Transport guilds and their associates often donate a lot to the Kingdom's civil engineering sector each year, hoping to expand and repair roads.
In addition to the civil engineering sector, the Commercial Alliance is said to make donations to the river and sea sector in the hope of stabilizing river and sea lanes.
If you want more security, go to the guards, if you want to help those in need, go to the ambulance.
The recipient will announce where and how much the donation came from.
Anonymity is possible depending on the wishes.
Donations are, in a sense, the biggest year-end event.
If you're a big merchant or a high-ranking nobleman, you'll be treated like a jerk if you don't get too many out here.
This is no exception to the various chambers of commerce and wealthy houses.
Sometimes it is used as a guide to whether business and the family are going well, and in the past there have been debts.
It seems that rewriting the amount of the donation is a fraud offence and the sentence is quite heavy.
And the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce, though less than a year old, is thriving.
Next year, the Baron will be awarded to Darya.
You should make a donation with a little enthusiasm here.
"Until last year, Mr. Darya, you were in the civil engineering department in the name of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, right?
"Yes, I supported street maintenance. And then, from my house, I was going to the temple."
"We were sending them to the temple in the same way. Do you want to donate this year?
"Well, why don't you donate it to the Temple and the Monster Crusaders?
I wish I had a little protection, a weapon, better food. I think so, but I was wondering if I could bring it out even though I was a monster slayer advisor.
"It's okay. However, half of monster slayer donations go to retirees."
"Are you going to retire to the Knight?
Maina asks strangely.
"Yes, to the families of the deceased, and to those who deserted due to an incurable injury. Once upon a time, there were people who wanted the Monster Enemy Force to ensure that they would support their families."
Tingling and chest pain.
I was going to be quite conscious of the danger of the task of killing monsters.
But when I hear about retirees, I'm reminded that it's still sweet.
"It's a Young Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Would you like to put in a mood and go for 50% of the net profit?
"Yes, so please call the Temple and the Monster Crusaders."
Well, I'll make the paperwork for that amount.
"Yes, and 20% from my personal account to the Monster Crusaders, this one is anonymous, please."
Ivano stopped putting his hand on the lid of the ink pot. Then he stared at himself with his navy blue eyes.
"Chairman, do you think it's enough for the Chamber of Commerce?
"The Chamber of Commerce can do that. I'm an individual, and I want to be a Rosetti."
Fortunately, we have earned a disproportionate amount of income here.
There's nothing wrong with my body, and I don't think I'm going to be able to stop working on magic equipment.
In that case, a loose self should reach out.
While my father Carlo was alive, he donated 10% of his savings to the temple.
The Chamber of Commerce went well this year, and I was a magician myself - I know it's a little short, but I appreciate that and I can work a little harder.
"- I see. However, even though it is anonymous, I wonder if the people above the Monster Enemy Force will understand the movement of that amount of money. There is also Jildo in the accounting department. I'll ask you to keep it as quiet as possible."
"Please...."
At the end of the busy year, I increased Ivano's work.
However, I hope to improve the situation of the expedition and return a little to those who have retired.
"Um, excuse me, from the side. I need to talk to you...."
With all her thoughts in mind, Mena raised her right hand as if she was sorry.
"What is it, Mena?
If you can, can I ask you to go to the hospital for a little bit? I needed to fix the roof of the hospital. "
"I see. How much does the repair cost?
"They say it's about twenty gold coins. We repaired it ourselves, but there was a limit. It looks like the budget will be down next year, but now that there's a bucket on the dining room table, I wish I could fix it."
The weather often collapses around the winter festival.
I don't want you to eat at a table with buckets to celebrate the new year.
Well then, I'll...
"It's like Maina's parents' house, let's get it out of the Chamber of Commerce, Chairman. Oh, can I go directly to the carpenter? I'm not suspicious of Maena's use, but I think my friend's carpenter would have done it sooner if he told me what happened."
Ivano took over.
And I'm always surprised at the breadth of the network.
"I'm really sorry. If it takes a lot, I'll pay you back from my salary."
"Maena, I don't need a word."
Huh?
"In these times, 'thank you', it's enough to smile at the service."
Dalia laughs first at Ivano's words.
After turning her light blue eyes, Mena laughed like a boy.
"Thank you! Chairman, Vice Chairman!
