How did Eichiro make kids at age of 8? O.o

Settle the North Bank: Measure out some parcel farms on the north side of the river and offer the refugees more attractive land rents than they would have back home, if they stay for the Spring planting.
Flower Fair: While a winter fair is liable to attract only shivering locals, let us prepare to expand our fairs to biannual events, Fall and Spring both. Let this new fair be proclaimed in advance. It will also be accompanied by games and merriment, but with a focus on arts and innovations rather than sports. The best poet, the best painter, the best playing troupe, the best troubadour, and the best sculptor shall each take a generous prize. The theme for this inaugural event will be works commemorating the victory of our armies the preceeding Autumn. It should happen in early May and lead up to a more business-like Wool Fair in late May. Sheep are shorn in the spring, after their wool is no longer needed for winter, therefore late May ought to be a good time for a fair bringing not only our own wool to market, but all surrounding areas, too, including areas that normally drove their wool to Curbiston. Curbiston's environs are quite devastated from the Count's inaction, so we are set to grab the trade routes of wool traders decisively once and for all.
Battle Fair: Let us rebrand the Autumn Fair as the Battle Fair and focus it on the grain trade and leading upto a peagant of arms and martial sports in celebration of our victory over the sea-raiders. We should plan a tournament for this anniversary of the victory.
Two fairs make us a continual point on the map for trade and travel, rather than seasonal.

Finally, personal training in the depth of winter should be sword training with Finn, btw. In a spare room, if too cold outside. Rather shameful that the Duke and King were barely scratched when we took such a beating.
