“First we will finally construct the Barracks. I know you have wanted it for a considerable amount of time and now our military is a bit too big for all of them to live in their homes or alternative accommodations.” You said to your officers.
“And the armoury could be stocked and used to arm our people if we ever end up needing them as a citizen militia.” Lieutenant Cromwell said as the rest of the officers nodded in approval.
“Regarding arms and armour, we are also going to put enough aside for the blacksmith. Sure they can beat the dents out of the armour, but anything more complex has been impossible for them.” You said.
“New tools and a furnace for them?” Sergeant Maxwell asked you.
“Yes, something like that. The blacksmith himself knows better what he needs and when the improvements are ready, we can repair our equipment and arm our soldiers better.” You said back to him. “We have a sizable force now, but better gear than our enemies have should give us an advantage.”
There were more approving nods.
“I hate to say this, but the rest of the funds used in construction go to my own benefit.” You said and allowed Captain Garside to continue.
“We have plans on either renovating this house completely or if that isn’t plausible, then building a new house for Prince Alric.” Captain Garside said. “As much as this farmstead has been our home for years and served us well, it isn’t suitable for a prince and not even a lowly baron.”
“And due to the incident in the early with the Syndicate assassin and Lady Proudmoore’s visit happening at the same time, I cannot be sure of my security and of my guests.” You said.
“My Prince, do the Stonemason’s help with these projects?” Lieutenant Beckston asked you.
“No, as they are occupied with the silver mine, but while they cannot supervise or actually build them by themselves, I think Master Pelija can check the plans.” You said.
“Regarding the Stonemason’s, I talked with Master Pelija a few days ago and according to him they should be finished before the winter comes.” Garside said and continued. “After that they have paid their debt to you.”
That was good news, with the silver mine upgraded and its productivity increased, you would have an even stronger economy than before. Of course it could attract unwanted attention and after Dawnholme, you counted the silver mine as your most valuable possession.
