@wywernywin Anna would issue onion union leaders and more experienced farmers to take some time and help the individual dockspeople and young workers ready to make a living help out with making a hops patch, as well as offering to personally educate anyone who might be interested in matters of faith as well. Accommodations would be made for housing for any of them that may be homeless; should rooms be full an allowance for local inn fees would be granted so long as a receipt was provided as proof of stay.
Lastly, she would inquire with the local brewery to find out if its locally owned by the crown or privately owned. Pending on the circumstances either way she'd make an effort to communicate with them in regards to possibly using the excess hops in case the deal falls through.
"We'll also need to start dealing with High Hold... as much as it pains me, and especially my daughter to deal with them despite the circumstances, I would rather Chauntea's bounty be provided to the people of this land then have Red Wizards and other folks get too solid of a foot hold economically here. Lets crush our opponents with kindness, quality, and craftsmanship!"
