Stimulate Rural Areas
The plagues and emigration of the fourteenth century have left the Alentejo and Trás-os-Montes underpopulated, with abandoned villages and uncultivated fields draining the kingdom's tax base. We will reissue royal forais to repopulate hamlets, exempt new settlers from manorial dues for a generation, and import Galician and Castilian laborers willing to clear scrubland for sharecrop tenancies. This rural recovery will restore the food-producing heartland to productivity just as Portugal's overseas ventures begin to demand reliable inland provisioning.
