War brings many things, including cruelty, violence, madness, and bloodshed. But for the people of Charlemagne this year, war meant wealth.
In the lands of Charlemagne, untouched by the flames of war, from princes and nobles to landlords and farmers, everyone's minds were filled with the idea of "making fortune quickly". People fervently awaited "quiet spring rains and long wars" as eagerly as the arrival of a mother goddess. Due to the war, large corporations received unending orders, filling their coffers and greatly benefiting small-scale workshops and farms. Furthermore, as other nations' civilian economies gradually tilted towards the military industry, Charlemagne's civilian product competitors were considerably weakened, leading to good sales for all products. The steady flow of money led the national economy to maintain an enviable growth rate of 5%. In this environment, an atmosphere of pragmatism and support for the war rapidly pervaded the nation.
