What happens
The last winter was particularly harsh, and the spring harvest has been poor so far. our nation’s cereal reserves are exhausted; the people face starvation. Grain merchants have exacerbated the situation by hording their supplies in the hope that prices will rise further. Anger at the our ruler is spreading like wildfire as agitators remind the people of their recent decision to relax restrictions placed on grain merchants - restrictions they claim would have prevented this situation from arising. They demand that the reforms be reversed, and that grain be distributed to the people to alleviate their suffering.
