The reason for the protest was that the people were unhappy with the recent changes that we had implented.
During this ti, we had implented agricultural changes by having the citizens change what they were to grow.
We handed out all the new seeds and had them change after the last harvest.
So currently, there were many empty fields in this country which was why people were worried.
It had been over a month since the forceful changes that Noah had put in place and most of the fields were empty…Well, they weren't completely empty since there were still sprouts that ca out of the soil.
It was just that it took too long compared to the usual crops that the citizens grew that they beca anxious.
They didn't want to switch to these new crops in the first place, but they were forced to swap to the new crops because of the royal decree. As such, the only thing that they could do now was gather to protest this royal decree.
This was a matter of their livelihoods, so these people were ready to fight for it.
Or rather that's what it seed on the surface, but it wasn't as if the citizens would rise up that easily.
Not to ntion, the pri minister had done quite a bit to make sure that people would be placated during this ti.
There were supplies of grains that were still being sent to the various regions, though the grains were a bit less compared to usual since there were less lands growing grains now. At the sa ti, the new lands hadn't finished developnt yet, so they weren't able to grow new grains to supply the kingdom.
That was why it would take so ti for the kingdom to adjust.
But to make up for that, the pri minister had given each citizen a subsidy so that they wouldn't be aggrieved during this ti.
He had made sure to compensate them fairly for their losses during this ti, which was a large blow to the treasury.
So why would these people protest?
There was only one reason for that.
There was soone who was moving behind the scenes that were orchestrating these protests, which was why the two of us were surprised.
We had already thought of this ahead of ti, so we had made our moves to counter anything that could have happened.
By all right, those that could have orchestrated such a protest should have already been placated.
So when it happened, we were naturally surprised by this.
"Who is it?" I asked the pri minister.
The pri minister revealed a heavy look before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know right now. This is sothing that's being investigated, so we'll find out soon."
I looked at him with a strange look when I heard this.
For the first ti, I could see that the pri minister had really been caught off guard, which was why he didn't know what to do. This was strange for who had only seen the confident side of him that had always planned out everything.
So for him to actually be at a loss like right now…
After a mont of silence, I just gave a simple nod without saying anything.
The two of us waited there in silence, but I could see that there was a look of anger that was in the pri minister's eyes. The way that the flas of rage flickered in his eyes, it was clear that he had lost himself in his rage this ti.
I had gotten a bit better at reading him after becoming an in law, so I knew that he wanted to rip to pieces the people who were responsible for tarnishing his perfect reputation.
This was the one and only ti that he had failed, so he wanted to erase this failure with his own hands.
In the end, it was Haley who ca into the study with a folder in her hand.
The mont that the pri minister saw her co in, he imdiately said in a fierce voice, "Who is it?"
If I hadn't reacted in ti and held him back, he might have even pounced at Haley just to take the folder from her.
I wasn't worried that he would actually do anything to her, but I didn't want to see her being jumped at by another man.
The pri minister realized his mistake, so he quickly gave a cough to calm him down.
After calming down, he said, "It was my mistake. Please tell who it is that funded this protest."
Haley raised a brow to look at the pri minister since this was also her first ti seeing him like this. But she just gave a nod and opened the folder to read, "The Yun Company and the Tarda Company."
The pri minister imdiately knitted his brows the mont that he heard this.
He was silent for a bit before turning to look at Haley with that sa frown on his face to say, "Are you certain of this? I've already given them more than enough benefits that they shouldn't have done this."
Haley just shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "It seems like you've underestimated how greedy they are. Once they sll blood in the water, they are like hungry sharks."
The pri minister knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
After a long silence, he said, "Let handle this. I'll make sure that they rue the day that they chose to betray ."
Seeing this, I had no doubt that the pri minister would be able to take care of this without a problem, but there was sothing else that I had to say.
"Why do you think that it's just them?"
The pri minister was surprised to hear this before knitting his brows again.
It didn't take long for him to realize his mistake.
He took a minute to reflect before saying, "I'll keep investigating and co back with a plan tomorrow."
I gave a simple nod in response.
As long as the pri minister didn't lose himself in a spiral, I had no doubts in his abilities.
