Ren, Gareth, Kael and the soldier now back to Oscana Barony bring money, magic book, Elixir and capture the people of Emberwood County as free labore for the city.
Despite the challenges of a struggling economy due to their rebel status and heretical beliefs, Ren knew that the captured citizens would serve as valuable free labor for rebuilding and sustaining their city.
"Milord your back." Sir William salute and bow.
Ren nodded at Sir William, acknowledging his presence. "Yes, we're back. How are things here?"
Sir William straightened up, a mix of relief and concern evident on his face. "Things have been challenging, Milord. With the ongoing struggles in the kingdom and our rebel status, resources have been scarce. But we've been managing as best as we can."
Ren nodded, understanding the difficulties they faced. "We've brought back some resources and manpower from Emberwood County. These captured citizens will serve as valuable free labor for our city's development."
"Open new land to develop farm for them to work" Ren have idea to increase their resource for food and later he would have them to build home for another free labor.
Ren's suggestion to open new land for farming resonated with Sir William, who recognized the importance of expanding their agricultural capacity to support the growing population of Oscana Barony.
"Indeed, Milord. Developing new farmland will be essential for ensuring the prosperity and sustainability of our city," Sir William agreed, his expression determined.
"But milord what should we do that now we cannot trade with anyone, and our economy are dead."
Ren considered Sir William's concern about their struggling economy. Despite their inability to trade with other factions due to their rebel status and heretical beliefs, Ren knew they couldn't rely solely on external trade for their prosperity. They needed to find alternative solutions to revitalize their economy from within.
"We may not be able to trade with other fiefdom at the moment, but there are still ways we can stimulate our economy," Ren replied, his mind already working on potential strategies.
"We can focus on self-sufficiency and internal development. By maximizing our resources and manpower, we can produce goods and services that are needed within our own borders," he continued, outlining his plan.
"We'll prioritize industries that are vital for our survival, such as agriculture, craftsmanship, and infrastructure development. We'll also encourage innovation and entrepreneurship among our people to create new opportunities for growth," Ren explained, his tone resolute.
"And the last thing on my mind is to make our own trading company whose job it is to smuggle our resources to another fiefdom to sell."
Ren's suggestion to establish their own trading company for smuggling resources to other fiefdoms resonated with Sir William. It presented a clandestine yet potentially lucrative opportunity to generate income and bolster their economy.
"Milord, it's a risky endeavor, but it could be our ticket to regaining economic stability," Sir William remarked, his eyes reflecting a mixture of caution and determination.
Ren nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Sir William. We'll need to operate discreetly and carefully navigate the political landscape, but if successful, it could provide us with much-needed resources and leverage."
"Especially now that the kingdom is at war something like food is in high demand, we need to take this opportunity to trade with them while we also raid their granary."
Sir William nodded in understanding. "Indeed, Milord. With the kingdom at war, food shortages are likely, and our ability to produce and smuggle food could give us a significant advantage in trade negotiations."
Ren's eyes gleamed with determination. "Then it's settled. We'll prioritize the development of our agricultural sector and establish our own trading firm to smuggle our resources to other fiefdoms. We'll seize this opportunity to strengthen our position and secure the prosperity of Oscana Barony."
