[X] Plan Like Teacher Like Student (To tame gunpowder)
-[X] – Very strange insects. 3 crowns.
-[X] – Bezoar from a cow's stomach. 10 crowns.
-[X] – Flowers with an interesting combination of Winds of Magic. 2 crowns.
-[X] We secured a zero-interest loan from the Gold Order whose value is one hundred and fifty thousand crowns, whose repayment may begin after a grace period of two years. The annual payments, once they begin, are always to be ten percent of the loan's value. This transaction is not to involve the direct transport of coinage, but the Chancellor may issue receipts which the College will honor once presented in person.
-[X] We secured a loan from the Dwarfs of Karak Kadrin whose value is one hundred thousand crowns, whose repayment is to begin annually with no grace period. The interest rate on the loan is two percent of the remaining amount per year, and the minimum payment is seven percent of the total debt per year. This transaction will be paid out through the transfer of Karak Kadrin gold coinage.
--[X] During the negotiations, an offer was made that the loan's value be increased by fifty thousand crowns, to total one hundred and fifty thousand. However, in return, Ostermark would be required to agree to sell ten percent of the Veldt's grain to Karak Kadrin at a locked-in price for twenty years, this price being, as listed here, half its current market value in Ostermark. This agreement, if taken, would also be unable to be renegotiated. In such times as these, it was believed to be wiser to refuse this offer.
-[X] Our colleague, the good Chaplain Wolfgang Dirkschneider, suggested that another source of funding could be the Arch-Lector of Talabheim. Given the current situation with the former Emperor Dieter forbidding the man from operating in Talabecland, it is likely that many typical uses for his wealth are presently unavailable, thus leaving more liquid capital to be used in moneylending and the like.
-[X] We offered our assistance to Isolde in negotiating with the local aristocracy, using our training in mundane, secular medical practice to provide information and advice that benefitted her and the Cult of Shallya's position as the irreplaceable foremost institution of healing.
-[X] Isolde gave her recommendation regarding the present taking out of loans and its relation to the acquisition of serfs to work the Veldt. Simply put, commercial loans would require revealing the region's productive potential as proof that repayment is possible, which would lead to serfs becoming more expensive as their economic value would be higher than is typical. As such, it is best to do business with those who would not make such information known.
This is not how the plan is meant to be posted. The plan with the "thesis" actions is its own thing, it cannot be attached to anything else, that's why I made 2 separate plans, one for that and one for the purchase of alchemical ingredients, because they MUST be separate. The QM mentioned "only one plan" as a joke about how typically there are not multiple people who make plans.
Whatever is left over must be approval voted

[X] - You intend to get more possible peasants to cultivate the lands in the province. And you even know where you intend to get them from.
-[X] Kislevite peasants, given their Tzardom is currently under the rule of a vampire and is still showing grotesque scars from the devastation of the Great War Against Chaos, will try to seek out new lands to call home, where the undead do not dominate the living, and Ostermark is one such place. Especially useful is that much of Kislev is similar in climate and soil composition to the Veldt.
[X] You intend to investigate the military of Ostermark, on a logistical, doctrinal, and educational level to find ways that it may be improved. As there will soon be a vast new stretch of territory full of people to protect, a more effective fighting force will be all the more crucial
