Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A Visit from the Village Head and Workshop Leader

One day, the village head and the head of your largest workshop pay you a visit, and it's evident from their heated discussion that they're embroiled in a dispute. Their disagreement stems from the recent decision to convert a substantial portion of your residents into vigilantes, leading to a manpower shortage in both farming and manufacturing.

The village head implores you to encourage more young individuals to pursue careers as farmers, emphasizing the importance of sustaining the estate's agricultural backbone. Siding with the village head would not only ensure the estate's food security but also please the local peasants who depend on farming.

On the other hand, the workshop leader argues that since the manufacturing sector has suffered the most significant manpower loss, it should be compensated by receiving a larger share of the available labor force. Supporting the workshop leader would likely please the visiting merchants who rely on the products from your workshops.

The weighty decision falls squarely on your shoulders. It's your call to determine whether to prioritize bolstering the agricultural workforce to ensure the estate's sustenance and gain the favor of the peasants or to allocate more hands to the manufacturing sector to meet its pressing needs and please the visiting merchants.

Outcome: Allocating More Labor to Manufacturing

You make the decisive choice to allocate additional labor to the manufacturing sector, aiming to compensate for the manpower lost in recent changes. As the village head departs from your office, a hint of disappointment marks his expression. In contrast, the head of the workshop offers you words of praise, acknowledging your wise decision to support manufacturing.
