The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 291: One week later...a cold war

"Fifty percent of the roads have undergone renovation, from cobblestone to cement. This is a great thing for us but a new challenge has been presented. The horses." Sigrid spoke into a microphone at a council meeting which was being broadcast live to Eldorians.

This was being done to announce the new changes and show transparency in the process, giving the people the illusion that their opinions mattered.

A few chosen commoners that had been picked as the people’s representatives from different cities were sitting in the meeting.

"What is the problem with the problem with the horses?" Representative Darlen from Starfell asked.

"There are too many horses in the capital and I am guessing that it is the same in other cities and they need to be reduced or slowly eliminated as a means of transport, permanently."

A myriad voices rose in uproar.

"If there are no horses how will we go around?"

"This better be a joke?"

"The horse breeders will riot? Wars have been fought for smaller reasons than this."

All sorts of statements were made to oppose what Sigrid had said. And she understood why that was. She had always known that getting rid of horses and introducing other means of transport would be a challenge.

"Listen to me, I have not finished speaking and I don’t have much time to debate this with you so I ask that you give me your attention while I am still available." Sigrid said into the microphone. "Horses have been the most common means of transport for the longest time but there are disadvantages to them.
