?However, this was something that Rose had already considered.
She didn't hesitate at all as she pointed out some areas that were marked out on the map.
"To relieve your worries about this, we have relegated a certain amount of land in each of your territories for this. As long as there's no disaster that strikes, then there won't be a problem in terms of food for all of your territories."
The representatives all looked carefully at the map at the areas marked before slowly nodding in agreement.
The areas that had been marked were more than enough for them to relieve their worries about food, but…that was only if they could grow food in those areas. If something unexpected happened or if they weren't able to grow anything, then they would be screwed.
So there were still some worries about food security.
Luckily, Rose and Viscountess Henry had already considered all of this.
Rose just continued by saying, "In addition to the large amounts of wealth that you will be gaining from participating in this economic zone plan, we will also be sending technical support to all of you to help you learn how to grow food more efficiently."
This time, it was Viscountess Henry's turn to step forward to say, "My husband has already agreed to send our people out to teach you all how to grow proper crops when the time comes."
All of the representatives were shocked when they heard this.
It was well known that Viscount Henry's territory was a rich territory because of all the farms that they had. They had plenty of food and could even export that food to other places because of their rich farms.
If a territory with this kind of agricultural techniques were to provide support, then there was no doubt that they would be able to plant proper farms.
But…humans were greedy in the end.
They always wanted more.
Rose was well aware of this, so she played her final card, "In addition to all of this, we will be setting up multiple granaries in these locations." She pointed at several places on the map that were at the center of multiple territories.
With the spots that she had pointed out, it was enough to cover all of the territories of those who had been invited to this meeting.
She then turned back to them and said, "All those that agree to this plan of ours will be required to contribute to the granary closest to them. The amount that will be required is…"
All of the representatives were shocked when they heard this.
It wasn't that they were shocked by how much the amount was, but rather they were shocked by how little it was.
It was so little that it didn't hurt them at all to contribute this little.
But that didn't make sense since this was far from being enough to fill the granary.
Rose also knew this, but she wasn't in a rush to say anything as she kept everyone in suspense.
When she saw that they were completely confused and filled with curiosity, she said, "The rest of the granary will be filled up by our Count Zwein. Everyone that contributes will have the right to receive supplies from the granary when they face troubles and they will receive a dividend from it each year."
All of the representatives were shocked when they heard this.
After all, not a single one of them was confused on what this meant…
Basically, they were being paid in food to join this plan and they would be getting free support from it. The fee that they were paying was nothing more than a formality.
So this really was an enticing offer.
It really didn't seem like they would be losing anything from agreeing to this plan.
Rose's trump card had pushed the rest of them over the line and now it seemed like they were very agreeable to these terms.
Seeing this, I couldn't help shaking my head and thinking…
"They're all just dancing in Rose's hands."
She had already guessed all of their reactions and what they would think, so there was no way they would be able to outsmart her. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l.B1n.
After letting them talk amongst themselves in an excited manner, Rose said, "Since everyone has a favourable impression, shall we sign the agreement then?"
That was when everyone hesitated.
There were some that were hesitating to see what the others would do, there were some that were hesitating because those were the orders they had been given, and there were some that just didn't want to commit to this right away.
They all were all clearly hoping for even better terms after hearing all of this.
Rose once again clearly expected this based on the look that she had on her face.
I couldn't help wondering what plan she had this time.
But even I wasn't prepared for the move that she made next.
"Well, it seems that some of you are still on the fence about this." Rose suddenly said in a casual voice. After a pause, she suddenly said, "Then how about we forget about this?"
All of the representatives were shocked when they heard this.
None of them knew how to react as they all just looked at Rose as if they were wondering if she was joking or not.
But Rose had a calm look on her face after saying this.
One of the representatives finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "Countess Rose, let's not joke around. We are very interested in this, but if you would just give us a bit of time…"
Rose suddenly cut him off by saying, "Who said that I was joking?"
All of them suddenly felt a chill run down their spine when they saw the sudden change with Rose.
The way that she suddenly became very domineering like this had completely caught them off guard.
But before any of them could even say a thing…there was a clapping sound that rang out.
"Very good, very good, I like this plan very much."
This voice came from the entrance of this room.
