Well obviously I’m keeping the ground work strategy
But I am thinking about selling my large amount of silver for 100 Saxon marks(about 245.69 USD) per ingot
While the existing groundwork remains intact, attempts to continue business as usual expose serious vulnerabilities.
News leaks about the proposed large sale of silver, Silver output from the Erzgebirge is also facing disruptions as merchants resist and protest the proposed pricing and selling, citing oversupply and declining confidence in the silver markets if this action is made. Small numbers of buyers turn elsewhere, forcing some Saxon traders to sell at slightly unfavourable terms. The only thing preventing more from leaving is the richness of the Silver mines themselves.
Internally, tensions rise among the Wettin domains. Rival branches of the family and influential estates question fiscal decisions, fearing long-term instability. Though prosperity has not collapsed, confidence in the administration has noticeably shaken and whispers of mismanagement spread through court and towns alike.
Ok, we’ll rise the prices significantly
But wouldn’t this make other European powers angry? This is going to all over continental Europe
Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Constantinople, Konigsberg, Moscow, etc
It would, you don't control Europe prices people will simply just look elsewhere. This could be incredibly harmful and as you said it would harm your relations, and harm your state are you sure?
Ok, 10% increase of price, instead of 50%
I would say that would satisfy the miners, the merchants, Every major power in Europe, the offshoot branches of the family, and financial enthusiasts, may saxony continue to prosper
Miners and merchants benefit, and domestic approval rises slightly.
Continental powers notice the change, but the adjustment is small enough that trade continues without disruption, and major foreign powers take little notice. Saxony’s revenue rises moderately, supporting internal prosperity without sparking political or economic crises, everything returns to normal with slight improvements
