Chapter 189 – The Council meeting IV
The idea caused some disagreement amongst the Council, but they couldn’t deny that it had its merits. The most obvious challenge was personnel, but once Lew explained that they didn’t need a specific place for it since liquor could be sold in the food stores, the idea became possible. Even so, it would require transportation, both from AP to the Capital and from the Serion Kingdom to AP.
Actually, the Council didn’t like giving money to the Kingdom, but they had to come to terms with it until they could trade directly with the Democracy. Introducing drinking in a workaholic community had its own risks, even more since they didn’t have any previous contact with it. However, if they could do it slowly and carefully, it might help them mitigate the accumulated stress on their workers.
