Allowing economic growth within the ranks of peasantry will pay off later. For military matters should we not look within our own borders? I have heard of troubling events in the northern fiefs." "Armies are not cheap, my steward. We need coin to pay for our soldier's armor, rations, weapons, and wages. What problems on the Northern Fiefdoms?" Aragost asks.
