The ending term was for 1636-1640, and the rent is 100mil, which is now due.
I will pay this sum, though I have to say I played too close to the chasm and will end up negative when I do, but that is totally my own fault

My point here is that the average for this term was an incoming of barely above 20 mil - 20mil being the yearly rent. When we account for the cost of the guard, which your majesty's wise father strongly suggested the manors hire, this means a loss of more than 2mil a week. And this is trying to keep sell orders constantly in what I hope to be the best way to get a good price - a tightrope between higher price and threat of spoiling. I now see the price of meat to be on a regular downward path, and this means the loss will be felt even more keenly, should I continue managing the Pada manor sales.

Thus, my request is not for the coming rent, but for the terms for the 5 years starting now to be adjusted to account for the lesser prices in the market.


I am glad to say I took the royal counsel to heart, and I acquired a pistol years ago, and trained with it ever since. I am looking forward to getting a shot, as it were, at the sharpshooting contest
