"Dare not... I just hope that our Duchy remains strong, so that the Andes Family's business can grow bigger and bigger."
"I hope so too."
Edward stood up, walked to the window, and in a casual tone, said, "Since there's a famine in the north, we'll just buy from elsewhere."
Pausing for a moment, he issued an order.
"Immediately, follow the procedure to import grain through the ports from other city-states on the Northeast Shore of the Vortex Sea, and conduct all transactions as commercial activities. But buy a little more than usual. Also, remember, let your subordinates handle it, do not show up personally... During this time, occupy yourself with other matters, as there should be many people watching you."
"Yes, I understand your intention. Such a small matter is not enough to keep the Andes Family Head busy." Andes instantly understood the Duke's intentions and nodded in agreement.
"Good that you know."
Edward's lips curled into a smile, and he nodded with satisfaction.
