Buy six cows (one male, five females) to drash (42 gold)
Buy four sheeps to Gharna (one male, three females) (16 gold)
Buy four chickens to Drash (one male, three females) (12 gold)

Total: 70 gold.
Gold left: 155.

Go to Drash yourself, with five peasants (and your horse). Bring two wooden cages to put the chickens in if they aren't furnished with them to begin with.
four others  peasants go buy the sheeps in Gharna. Give them just enough gold (16) and tell them not to screw up, or else you won't be happy.

Also: expand the pasture. We're going for one large enough to hold 50 animals. All idlers to that.
this, but AFTER having buyed the animals and brought them back.

Wife: Later. We are not even self-sustainable yet...
Army: less an army than a few guards. having a couple peasant somewhat trained with weapons is better than being totally alone to defend our land. Later on, they could become official guards. (By later I mean 4, 5 years...)

Have the idle workers start building the road from the other direction if they're not coming with us.

Go check! I expect lots of rambling about coat of arms coming soon...

EDIT: I'm quite fond of Hawk, wings splayed, holding a spear. Reflecting on the colour now. (It'll mean something like "valiant knight and honourable warrior that does not rest until objective achieved".)

EDIT EDIT: blue eagle and spear on white background, or the reverse? anyway, that'll mean "peace, sincerity, loyalty and truth".
Also a orange cross ( a X one) in the background  will add a "worthy ambition and resolution" factor.

All in all it could be pretty nice, while pretty. ;)

Good point,but i suspect that sooner then later the Economic minister is going to mess with us,and both of those things would help,though i could go with the guard idea,can we still have them learn from the hunters?

Everyone knows if we die without leaving a son behind our dynasty will die! Considering we have no brothers, sister, uncles, nephews, parents, grandparents...

Though yeah, we should scout for dah ladiez the next time some guy hosts a feast or something, not now.

Also, how close are we to the border? Who's on the other side of the border? At some point that belligerent darn king will suck us into a war, and hopefully we won't get our holdings burnt to the ground.

Now that I think about it, could we know WHY Mister Minister Sinister is unfriendly about us?

That's a good reason, but it's a meta-reason. MMS needs a reason that don't break the fourth wall.

Also, there is a map at the bottom of page one.

How about Argent, on a Fess Gules a Gryphon Segreant? (if anyone here knows how to interpret Blazons, that is.)

What sort of tyrants and barbarians lie to the west?

Scour the land for such fiends and rouges that are fit to become our spy master, don't we know of any groups that may help us?

Make sure no one finds out, of course.
