"Heh, that's just the kingdom's support, but without the hard work of our Caucasus people, it would all be for naught." Komer waved his hand dismissively, not interested in continuing with these trivial matters. He had sought out this person today to find a solution to the current food crisis, and the man before him was the key to that solution.
"Mr. Kudan, I'll get straight to the point, you're in the business of food. You're probably aware of the food situation here in the Caucasus. The North has raised the transit tariffs on our food imports, and the prices have reached an unacceptable level. Our foundations in the Caucasus are weak, and with the influx of over a hundred thousand immigrants, the work of clearing land for cultivation has just begun. It's impossible for us to be self-sufficient in the near term. That's why I'd like Mr. Kudan to discuss how we might address the food shortage that has arisen here in the Caucasus."
