<span>That instant, his eyes widened.


    <span>Rishe continued, “The people who live in the favs aren’t likely to be ‘customers’ for most merchants. After all, they are just trying to make ends meet on a daily basis.”


    <span>Elise told her just the other day.


    <span>There were days when they couldn’t afford to buy extra food and couldn’t even afford a satisfying meal.


    <span>There were times in her past life when Rishe also had trouble with food until she got her work back on track.


    <span>“But think about it. What would happen to the market if they were given jobs and enough ie to live on without fear of tomorrow?”


    <span>“It…”


    <span>“People who weren’t customers before be customers once they get a job. As the number of customers increases, the merchant’s sales will increase. This cycle will eventually lead to the Trading Company hitting the jackpot.”


    <span>Rishe smiled as she drew circles with her index finger.


    <span>“All the products of Aria Trading Company are impressive. Once we get more customers in the market, it will be thepany that will make the most money.”


    <span>“Ha…”


    <span>In a sh.


    <span>Tully, who had been listening to the conversation with cold eyes, burst into a boisterous bellyugh.


    <span>“Haha, hahahahaha!　I like it, I love it!　So what you’re saying is, don’t choose your customers, grow them into customers!”


    <span>“There might be few at first, but as the business expands, the number of people, who can get out of poverty will soar.”


    <span>“By doing so, the tax revenue of Garkhain will also increase. So this is a win-win situation for the future Crown Princess, isn’t it?”


    <span>It sounded too blunt, but generally speaking, he was right.


    <span>As a merchant, Rishe was initially trying to meet Tully’s challenges.


    <span>She hoped to be able to propose a business that would be profitable and cut back on the losses.


    <span>However, when she learned of the measures Arnold had imposed, she was at a loss about the policy.


    <span>It wasn’t until she heard Elise’s thoughts that she was convinced.


    <span>Undoubtedly, Rishe should do business not as a merchant, but as the Crown Princess.


    <span>Something that would bring profit and prosperity to the nation and wealth to the people.


    <span>This wealth wasn’t only the ability to eat without worries, but also the hope that one could live without giving up one’s dreams and aspirations.


    <span>“I don’t think it’s the right answer. Nevertheless, it’s one of the few means I can offer you at the moment.”


    <span>“No, not bad, huh? It’s like you could see right through my thoughts and beliefs. It was pretty fun.”


    <span>Tully looked terribly happy, a change from the bored look on his face from earlier.


    <span>“But Lady Rishe, you’re still immature.”


    <span>She remembered that smile.


    <span>It was the smile Tully showed every time his subordinate, Rishe, failed in her merchant life.


    <span>“Didn’t I say before? Your behavior is too earnest to deal with a mere merchant. People like that are looked down upon, seen through, and used.”


    <span>“Thank you for your advice.”


    <span>“I don’t know why, but I think you want mypany so badly. I’m starting to plot to exploit that obsession and squeeze it out to thest minute.”


    <span>[The Chairman’s character defect turned up], the executives seemed to be saying with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Of course, Rishe, inwardly, was thinking the same thing.


    <span>“Hey, Chairman, that’s the Crown Princess you’re talking to, please restrain yourself.”


    <span>“Now what? There’s roughly over a hundred percent of difficulty in your proposal. If I reject it, you’ll have toe up with another idea. Maybe we’ll have something even tastier to talk about…”


    <span>“…”


    <span>Rishe meditated slowly.


    <span>“I don’t expect you to approve of my business dealings with you with open arms.”


    <span>“Great. I’m d you know me so well for a guy you’ve only met a few times.”


    <span>“I wouldn’t have really wanted to use this hand if I could…”


    <span>She sighed and held out thest document.


    <span>“Oopsy, I wonder what’s going to pop up next, what…”


    <span>At that moment, the color of Tully’s eyes changed at once.


    <span>“This is…”


    <span>“Chairman? What’s wrong?”


    <span>Unease and agitation was palpable on his face.


    <span>Tully, who had always been collected from the beginning, spoke in a panic.


    <span>“Lady Rishe, how did you know about this?”
