'I am so glad this Capital is nearly completed.' Link thought as he was sitting back looking over how low his finances have gotten. 'We are nearly out of rupees and it has only been 2 years! I never realised how expensive running a nation is.'
'This is before I have even had a professional army trained too! Which we are going to need soon enough given how quiet the 'Blin tribes have been they are definitely planning a full invasion to hit soon.' Link Continued thinking as he grit his teeth in frustration . 'At least we have a training grounds build now so that problem can be fixed in shortly.'
'Perhaps I should increase Taxation now that we are our own kingdom.' Link stood up and started pacing as he tried to think of new ways to improve his kingdom's state of affairs. 'But no, it might be best to wait a year for that. If I do I can assign Malo to the task, he is FAR more effective than I am at that sort of thing. Plus the increased reputation I will have with my people should help balance it out a fair bit. That isn't even including of course the fact that if I wait until after the capital is complete I will be able to increase the taxes there as well.'
Sitting back down Link continues to think. 'Yes it would be best to wait. hmm perhaps I should also spend some rupees once the capital is complete to help stimulate new trade within the nation. It should appease the merchants a fair bit and it will likely have good long term profit.'
'Speaking of trade, Perhaps I should build some roads as well? We already have dirt roads, but even some a few stone roads like the ones in the capital should help improve trade, let alone a full network of them! hmmm, maybe....' Link becomes lost in his thoughts as he continues to think about his nations future.
