Review the state of roads and bridges/Fund construction on mines

"What are the state of roads and bridges?" You ask.

"Well, most of the main bridges got destroyed by cultist’s a few months ago and the team that was rebuilding it got ambushed and killed by a pack of kobolds last month. As for the roads, most are in bad condition. The ones that aren't have bandits around every corner, with the people need to pay mercenaries just so goods can travel. There are a few villages that have completely collapsed because of this. Local mayors is sending people to help with the reconstruction, but for the most part this is going to be a major overhaul." A Sirik, your fathers old friend and advisor tells you.

"Hmm, well I suppose it's inevitable. We can't expect the people to take care of themselves." You said, thinking about all the **** and destruction happening in the world.

"Well, your right, but can you blame them? They live in constant fear of bandits and monsters." Sirik said, your nod you agreement.

“Yes a major problem, but it can be a simple fix. In the mean-time, we'll get a group together to rebuild those bridges, and get more mercenaries to help patrol the roads. While we are at it we should rebuild the villages that were destroyed as well." You informed the counsellors. They agreed, although they did want you to draft a permit request first. Moving along, you Began Discussing the realm's Primary sources of revenue, aside from Taxes and Nobles Stipends.

"As you have probably noticed, we currently produce very little. Our major crops are wheat and barley with barely enough left over to feed our livestock." Count Ullter said, giving you an apologetic smile. “We’re mosty living off are Mines produce mostly iron and coal, mithril and we are currently pulling gold out of the ground, which is more then enough to support the kingdom economy."

"And that's only because of the recent increase in mine productivity" Steyr, your fathers old adviser added. "The mines were primarily focused on supplying gems, but recently we strike gold and with your promise more funding we could be swimming in it."

[revenue: 10000 dockets gold a week(80% from peasants, 20% From nobles.) -400 upkeep(for castles, workers and men).]

After that you decided to end the meaning for today and so one by one your counsellors leave, with Drakcius give you and Freyja one last smug look before taking his leav, with Freyja grinding her teeth .

"If he wasn't a lord, I would have thrown him out long ago." She mutter, your quietly chuckle.

"I would've done it myself, but you know how delicate our situation could be. I couldn't risk that."

"I realize that, I'm just tired of him talking about me like I’m some sort of monster." Freyja said, her ear drooping. “I hate the way they look at me, like I'm some foul bloodthirsty beast."
