Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A Debate Between a Farmer and a Merchant

One day, a farmer and a merchant visit your office, engaged in a spirited argument about the upcoming planting season. The farmer passionately advocates for maintaining the traditions of the estate, emphasizing the cultivation of crops that have been grown for generations. According to him, these time-tested crops are reliable and familiar, ensuring a sense of continuity.

On the other hand, the merchant presents a compelling case for embracing change and introducing a new crop – the Morekian white wheat. He points to its higher yield potential, which could significantly bolster the estate's crop production. This, in turn, might lead to increased prosperity.

The decision before you carries not only agricultural implications but also social ones. Listening to the farmer's wisdom will likely earn you the favor of the peasants, who hold deep reverence for tradition. However, it may slightly diminish your standing among the merchant class. Conversely, heeding the merchant's advice may enhance your estate's crop production, but it could breed discontent among the peasants, as they are wary of adopting an unfamiliar crop.

It falls upon your judgment to strike the right balance between tradition and innovation, considering the opinions of both classes within your estate.
