The development these days had actually gone quite smoothly.
However, what troubled Roman was that the commercial routes to Sige Town had been blockaded.
Since the end of that war, not a single merchant ship had come to Sige Town, and not a single merchant had come to do business with him.
The Earl of Kant and the five great Nobles had sealed it off tightly.
They believed that by doing so, they could starve Roman, winning the war without a fight.
Little did they know that the residents of Sige Town were living quite comfortably.
It was laughable—they wouldn't starve at all.
But they inadvertently caused Roman a great deal of trouble.
Roman needed to purchase a large amount of materials to speed up development.
Considering the simple social structure of Sige Town, it definitely couldn't produce everything.
For example, making pencils required graphite, and printing needed ink, or else students wouldn't be able to do their homework.
