[X] Grow Wealth (3 Capital)
Seek new customers to increase your revenue stream and profits.
Difficulty 3, Goal Number: 6, Capital Required 3, Interval: One Month

[X] Construct a mechanical stopwatch

The goal is to produce 6 Capital every turn, allowing a continuous expansion of wealth while doing other things as well.
The stopwatch is because maybe it'll make Growing Competence easier.
 
[X] Grow Wealth 3

[X] Get to know the kingdom

Still want this. Growing wealth opens up options and spreads our writing further encouraging more literacy. And get to know the kingdom because we want to get an idea of who our allies and enemies are going to be. It might give us an idea for who to sell more printing to too. We are new here and ignorant, we should fix that.

-[x] Stunt:"Yes for a small fee I can make enough copies of the tax code for you to spread around the whole kingdom."

@Aranfan I noticed the Owned Organizations and Allies post is threadmarked with the story threadmarks, not the informational ones. IMO opinion it would fit there better. Also IIRC correctly our competence was 1 before we raised it too. And it still lists our capital as 4.
 
@Aranfan
What can we Excellency on?

You only have a bureaucracy excellency, although Fiery Rhetoric is a psuedo excellency for all social actions, so long as you are being earnest.

-[x]Stunt:"Of course this pocket time keeping device isn't just useful for keeping on schedule here. It can also be used to allow mortal sea captains to solve the longitude problem. I will have to get around to that sometime."

If anyone can write a good stunt for writing a book on the social contract then I will switch my vote to that.

I don't understand why people want to use 4 Capital for the action instead of 3. What's the benefit supposed to be?
