70 [3] Dinner

At dinner that day, Berta was told by Harold.

"You seem a lot angry."

Ask him how he is while carrying his meal to his mouth.

"... have you gone too far?"

In fact, Belta has been concerned about the books for a long time now.

Since last winter, even though unforeseen expenses such as misappropriation and funding to the church were bulky, why was it not possible to grasp the funding difficulties so far in advance?

Deeply concerned about the treasury, Belta saw that the royal family had too much untidy book keeping.

I was surprised.

Revenue - Information is not even shared in the first place between the Treasury, which is mainly responsible for tax collection, and the Financial Advisory Council, which draws up the national fiscal policy.

This means that the necessary work is duplicated, and above all, the Advisory Council decided on the year's turnover without knowing the actual wallet situation.

For her, the financial structure of the royal palace was strange and irreplaceable.Why not try to grasp the reality of the economy there?

"I don't know if it's too much. Well, it depends on where you want to take the drops after you've surface the problem."

Harold had a calm face and was tolerant of Berta's tough intentions, as he had been since daylight.

However, since the topic was precisely policy in a straight circle, his reaction was very colorful.

It's been a few months since we moved to a new royal palace, and it's become more and more customary to promise to have dinner with each other, especially on days when we don't have any other plans.

Dinner seating is perhaps outside his original vision of increasing the space for private conversation and has recently served only as a forum for policy information-sharing and cognitive friction.

"Where did you drop it? … will the Treasury and the Office of the Financial Advisor be able to work together at a minimum, with more readable books and more targeted budget proposals?"

"I see. Reforming the financial organization."

"That makes me feel kind of awesome."

However, the reform was not only a reasonable proposal, but even seemed necessary for Berta.

"--To be honest, I didn't think that the department that holds the national wallet was so dumb.It is impossible to account for gold in the first place in that it is not an accounting professional, but a group of lawyers and clergy.Besides, they can't feel the sense of crisis or the sense of party while driving the country into so much financial trouble. "

Harold replied with a bitter smile.

His expression had such an atmosphere that he sees Berta's claims as obviously correct.But it is also true that he has stepped on this issue so far.

No, you're right.

Harold, the head of the state, could not have been aware that accounting was flawed.

He was originally a fairly solid monarch, and he would have saved up quite a bit compared to the wasting kings of all generations.Even such people suffer from the aftermath of repeated financial failures from their ancestors, and consequently bear this negative legacy.

"- But there are religious constraints in the middle."

He answered questions about various barriers Belta didn't understand.

"? Are you sure you want to do your financial management right?"

"Managing the books correctly can be a conquest for profit as a state.... in the teaching that paying for money itself is greedy. "

Until the spiritual world, it is not necessarily tied to reason.

"Obando said that too, didn't he?You can't serve God and wealth at the same time.That's what the guilty consciousness says: "Someone's profiting is taking it away from someone at the same time."

... unbelievably, it seems that the prosperous teaching maintains the idea that the pursuit of profits and profits is inherently "evil".

In societies where the quest for wealth itself, the taking of wealth from others, or the perception of evil, people may even shy away from learning methodologies for proper financial grasping.Then there is no way to grow accounting talent.

Belta, who was explained, stopped her hands completely for dinner and remained silent for a while.Surprised. Says he didn't succeed.

It was at least a completely incomprehensible idea for Berta, who was born and raised in a clan that benefited from enormous wealth.

But that's what "faith" looks like.No matter how logically Berta tries to persuade them, the superfluous claims do not resonate before the strength of their faith.

Being aware of that, Berta wondered how Harold would react to the problem.

"... do you think so too?It's not a very good thing to do a gold check. "

"No? This teaching itself is probably from a long time ago, when people were still pastoral and primitive."

(That)

But he denied it so easily that he applauded it.

If you think about it, Harold was the one who made rational decisions even with regard to religious beliefs.

"In view of the reality of society, it can be seen that in modern times, the teaching has particular limitations.--If you are rich, your neighbor will be poor.Simple structural theory of such a narrow scope already fails to explain the lives of the nation's people. "

I think he is also faithful, but his piety does not seem to contradict his objective view of the doctrine he believes in.

"In fact, the south, where commerce has thrived for many years, has prospered much more than the pious north.Wealth is not a pie to take away from, but the wealth itself grows as the society expands. "

"If all the priests were as calm as you, it would be easier."

"... but, well, I think Obando is better off talking.It's not bad to be a gentle opponent. "

Treasurer Ovand. Berta's first impression of him was that he was a hard-headed old minister.Normally speaking, Obando is definitely incompatible with Berta first.He is a lawyer and clergyman with vested interests.

However, Ovando was a person with a concomitant secular aspect to the extent that he was able to protect his cunning position and maintain his current position in the decline of conservatives and the wave of domestic conversion.

"I would like to draw practical people from Kasha in the south and give them a government position under Ovand - the Financial Advisory Council, if possible."

"Oh, I see. Such reforms will probably not go away unless they are people from the south."

Is he talking about Berta, or is he talking about an accounting expert that Berta is pulling from the south?Maybe both of them.

"... in order to do that, we also need to move forward with Casha's friendship with the Earl of Chimeno."

Now there was another policy that Berta was taking the lead on as a separate matter.It is a political marriage policy that demonstrates the rapprochement between the emerging factions of the northern Petras and the southern leader, Kasha.

It would be most convenient to move these two cases simultaneously.Even if it is an opportunity for the Cassian people to serve in the middle, the connection with the Earl of Chimeno is perfect.

"You're busy. Besides, you're going to make a big deal on the city."

"No, it's my job to deviate from the original dissatisfaction from the south."

The southern Taoists' faction had originally promoted another candidate site, Messaro, to the transition capital, and was skeptical about building the Vauera.Moreover, the existing Wang Metropolitan Commercial Union has also stepped up its rebellion against capital inflows from the south.

Under the special circumstances of the construction period of the King's City, the burden on Berta was certainly increasing, but she sees this as an opportunity.The more irreplaceable the role, the more people will look up to Belta's complexion.

"Hey, Harold, I'm going to make sure that this thing is incorporated into the morning."

It's not Berta that misses this plane, and it's about a year since we observed the power structure on the ground in the morning.It would be a good time to decide on the exact location.

"Now that I'm busy working, I can speak loudly."

Belta smiled and looked at Harold, who was sitting opposite her.

I trust you, Your Highness.

Recently, when the two of us started calling each other by name, he sometimes jokes about Berta by name.

"I'm glad you look happy. [M]But don't push me. "

"Yeah."

"Can I help you?"

He did nothing to make Belta do what he wanted, but he was many times happier for Belta than just being protected.

"A lot, but I'm still getting enough help."

As he stands as a reliable backer, Berta will be able to move in this exotic land little by little.

"I'll talk to you before I move in to avoid disturbing you."

"Dinner is going to be the time for the reunion."

"... oh, do you want to make it a little later?"

Harold looked unnecessarily serious again.

He's as clever as ever in a meaningless place.

"I don't want to talk about work until I get into the bedroom."

"I'll be done soon."

"Which one?"

In an atmosphere where the bullshit reward was likely to continue, the old lady who was waiting for her finally put in a big cough.

Before the scary old ladies told me that the food was cold, they both moved their hands on the meal, which had stopped with a bite of laughter.
