Low treasure is bad. Starving populace is worse.

Your order procurement of foodstuffs from abroad.

Despite slight problems with distribution and amount, the advisor is confident that it will be enough.

843 AD, Winter

The trade advisor brings you news while vibrating with excitement. Apparently, the gold mines, the trade with Parsia and Augas taxes on merchants have brought an amount of revenue previously unseen at once entering the Treasury.

843 AD, Midwinter

Apparently there was some bad religious incident in the west of your country and this time, it was the Pantheon priests who started it; they have caught some aristocratic youths reading a book of 'Words of the Father' near a Pantheon shrine and derided them; the youths, being youths, weren't interested in getting pushed around by clergymen and fisticuffs erupted with several wounded amongst the priests and the youths alike.

The governor who reported this is asking if the Crown is willing to do something about it, as he had all Damed books in public libraries put under lock and key so that they cannot be borrowed for now. He didn't put the priests nor the youths to justice, though.

A) Ban Damed literature from being read, and punish the youths for their imflammatory behavior.
B) Punish the youths for doing this (as in, reading these books so close to a shrine) obviously on purpose.
C) Call the Pantheon priests for a council during which you will explain that there is a need for co-existence.
D) Punish the Pantheon priests for causing disturbance.

C - but also punish whomever threw the first blow and mildly reprehend the governor for infringing on an international treaty; tolerance goes both ways.

B, we can't be seen as weak towards the cult of Damed. We don't need a second civil war.

As a reminder, the deal was to allow these holy texts into our libraries.  We never agreed to keep them there, or to let people read them.   Or at least, that was the deal as originally stated.

We can lawyer about the terms, but IMO it's better to be seen being strictly honourable. When I suggested spreading our displeasure about was to make sure that everyone knows that we expect tolerance from all parties, and we mean it:
-having a talk to the priests should be enough of a gesture - one - we want tolerance, and two - they're supposed to be wise men and community examples, and shouldn't have fallen on that obvious baiting;
-punishing whomever threw the first blow is the law, be it one of the hotheads or one of the priests - or rather, especially if it was a priest, who should have known better;
-the governor should not have locked the books, as there was no immediate risk of civil disturbances and the books were part of a very advantageous and popular treaty.

I want to vote for A, but it has no chance of winning, so... C, I guess.
