The foundations of a good economy are good roads. No path should be unlit and they should be traverse able by all from children to elders.

Despite all of the war and fighting, some nobles, like Lady Mabelle, make times for the arts and that is important.

Of late have I given over many hours of thought to the war - not the nations fighting it, perhaps, but of those who trod the gory fields to prosecute the conflict. I think, perhaps, that I have an idea...

It was refreshing to one again venture out into the city and attend one of the many festival's that are put on. I must commend the Harlequins for the work put forth for the Festival of Death.

Many have, upon seeing me abroad in the city, welcomed me back. I assure you all, I wasn't away. There are ever so many ledgers in the city in need of scrutiny and balancing and sometimes the work just needs done by dint of long hours and candles burned low. For those of you with interests in tallow and lamp oil, you're most welcome.
The troubles that visit us now are not new. And even to say they 'visit us now,' suggests they were gone. They were not. Troubled times encourage all of us, high and low, rich and poor, to look closely and seek the truth in what we face. The truth I have seen is that no gift of compassion or grace is too small to offer. They are all necessary.
The Crown pulls levers that are large and move slowly. While those gears mesh, I am happy to coordinate and support efforts of those moving more quickly - the Faith, the Crafter's Guild, and the Commoner's Council, and others to be certain.

Relationship Note on Monique
Rare am I to reply directly to journals, and I thank the Countess Sabine for her exquisite words on this, but heed the advice from Lord Jyri.
If 100 writs of any kind, or 25K in silver, is too much to pay then hire someone to run it on your behalf as your assistant and pay them less than the payment you will be making to The Crown. A payment which will be made to assist the good common people of this city. To keep the city safe, to help the Thralls and to follow His Majesty's dreams.
The 25,000 in silver works out as 100 writs converted with our good marketplace broker at an average of 250 per writ. The broker's current average is 261 so if you sold 100 writs to him, you would end up with a profit. Perhaps the first in the history of your shop.

The recent review of empty shops, and shops which had fallen into disrepair as their owners has meant that some have returned under the Crown's direct ownership. This allows to beginnings for people like Dustin Nidhogg who is a freed Thrall trying to make a life for themselves in the city.

Another successful trip around the market in service of the good Nobles of the city turning their work into the finest silver in the Compact.
Now this is done, attentions can turn to a visit to the docks and an assessment of the damage.

Now that it seems the plague has been cleared away, I can begin to assess the damage to the docks and see what assistance it needs to be rebuild. Perhaps even a possibility for us to improve on it this time. Make getting ships in and out easier, more efficient and increase the trade flowing in, or out.

Good Thraxian Prince. Your words are truly kind and I am always quite happy to do business with you by turning your writs into fine silver.
For many others in the city, this merchant and Crown Minister is available to do the same. A mere delivery to Jeeves will see it done.

Good Merchant - You and I should likely talk about your plans for the auction house and how either I or the Silver Consortium can assist in the ambitious plans you have.
A growing economy in the city that benefits us all, benefits the Crown and something I would be certain to support.
