Preparing for a Critical Voyage

At the moment, Berengar was within the confines of his study; for the past few days, he had entertained his mother and father. While carefully navigating through the confines of his social obligations. All while balancing his industrialization process. At the moment, things were going so smoothly that there was not much work required on his part. 

As Berengar's industry expanded, so too did its requirement of natural resources to fuel it. By now Berengar was scratching his head, thinking of a remedy to this situation. He had no desire to wholly deplete the natural resources in the territory he currently held, but if he continued on his current path, it was only a matter of years before such a thing became reality.
