Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#25 - Aunt (recommendation required)
Soren smiled and pointed at Corena, saying, "This matter, my sixth royal sister has considered even more thoroughly than I, her elder brother. It would be better if she explained it to everyone."
"Your subject has investigated in the Royal Library and found that the empire's overall development trend has been good in recent years. Although this is a once-in-a-century drought, most slave owners still have surplus grain, not to mention those wealthy merchant guilds," Corena said with increasing confidence.
"Your Highness, Sixth Princess, this old minister has a question. This old minister has no objection to taking action against the merchant guilds, but wouldn't this be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and somewhat outweigh the gains for the empire's future economy?" Horns, as the empire's Minister of Finance, was very sensitive to economic issues.
"Naturally, we wouldn't do anything like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. We can have these merchant guilds donate," Corena's words immediately caused an uproar in the entire hall.
Anyone who has dealt with merchant guilds knows that these merchants value money more than their lives. Asking them to donate money is like asking for their lives.
"Open the Royal Academy and all the empire's noble academies, allowing merchants to enroll. Exchange meritorious service for donated materials. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the empire's knight families, the tuition fee for admission through military merit will be halved, and the tuition fee for admission through meritorious service will be doubled," Corena said unhurriedly.
Horns and Breer's eyes lit up when they heard this. In this way, the hardship of knight families in cultivating knights would be reduced, and fresh blood would be added to the empire's army. If these two different groups enter the army, as long as they are properly controlled, competing against each other can become a catalyst, improving the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
"Your Majesty, the national policy proposed by the Sixth Princess is feasible!" Horns turned his head and bowed, shouting loudly.
Breer and Neumann also echoed in agreement.
The national policy that the empire's troika all praised, even if other officials didn't understand it, they would kneel down and echo.
This wasn't a question of whether one's knowledge was high or not, but a question of stance.
Although Gustav didn't like this daughter, after hearing her say this today, he had to admit the brilliance of the national policies proposed by Corena and Soren.
"Someone come, reward the Seventh Prince and the Sixth Princess!"
"This national policy will be handed over to the three ministers to be responsible for, and implemented as soon as possible."
For some time, Gustav had been annoyed by the words 'Northwest'.
Today, it was finally perfectly resolved, making him want to have a good drink, but with the Empress Dowager having just passed away, it was not appropriate to drink alcohol, so he could only use tea instead.
With the end of this matter, the family banquet also came to an end.
After Gustav announced the end of the banquet, dukes, marquises, nobles, and relatives of the emperor stood up one after another, kneeling to see Gustav off, and then prepared to return to their respective residences.
However, when he was about to leave, Guta looked at Soren with a vicious look in his eyes.
Soren's simple national policy ruined the plan that Prince Corin had prepared for more than ten years, and even in the next ten years, he would have to be careful.
After all, there was still a Northwest Allied Army watching at the door.
"Soren! This matter will not be settled like this."
Soren's plan was very successful, leaving a deep impression on his cheap father and setting an example of a loving and benevolent brother in public.
As Soren was about to leave the entrance of the main hall, he was stopped by a voice: "Grandson Soren, please stop!"
Soren turned around and saw a noblewoman dressed enchantingly, twisting her waist and walking towards him gracefully, followed by more than a dozen maids.
Upon seeing this person, a brilliant smile appeared on Soren's face, and he greeted her very warmly, saluting and saying, "Soren greets Great-Aunt Merin!"
The person who came was the most powerful woman in the current empire, Soren's great-aunt, the Holy Prague II's biological younger sister, and his cheap father's biological aunt.
Of course, she also had two other identities in the palace: a pimp for princes and princesses, and the head of the court mage corps.
In the game, Soren's wife was introduced to him by this great-aunt.
It's no exaggeration to say that this woman deeply influences the entire empire's political direction.
It was she who pushed Nicholas to the throne behind the scenes;
It was she who made Nicholas fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley;
As a semi-holy magic导师, her strength is beyond doubt. The key is that almost all magicians with outstanding magic talent in the imperial capital are Merin's students.
In his previous life, someone once joked that offending Gustav might not be too bad, but offending Merin, the chief court mage, would surely lead to a burial ground!
Soren naturally knew what this great-aunt was looking for him for.
This woman was a shrewd and headache-inducing woman. In the game, as soon as Nicholas was named crown prince, she came to his door, wanting to connect the three brothers.
Unfortunately, the good situation was ruined by his cheap mother, who refused Merin's kindness and even spoke rudely!
From then on, the reputation of the three Soren brothers completely stank in the entire imperial capital's magician circle. During Nicholas's tenure as crown prince, he didn't even have a single magician follower. Many archmages even looked down on Nicholas, the crown prince.
In the history of the empire, no crown prince has ever been able to ascend the throne smoothly without the support of the court mages.
After all, the court mage corps represents the highest military force in the imperial capital.
Some people once said that even if the entire imperial capital's army rebelled, as long as the court mage corps still stood on the emperor's side, there would be nothing to fear.
Even his cheap father knew to marry into the Hallon family to gain the support of the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Soren said that in his previous life, Nicholas would lose so miserably, and his cheap mother, Princess Maria, was at least half responsible!
In the end, it was still because her background was too low and her foundation was insufficient.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Soren's mouth became as sweet as honey: "Great-Aunt Merin is still so young and beautiful. If your grandson was fifty years older, he would definitely fall under your pomegranate skirt!"
"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Soren, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" Everyone likes to hear good words, especially a woman like Merin. Hearing Soren's sweet words, she immediately burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she swayed.
"Soren, you are not young anymore. I don't know if your mother and concubine have arranged a marriage for you," Merin asked after laughing for a while.
"Great-Aunt is laughing. I am still young and haven't had enough fun on my own," Soren naturally knew Merin's plan. He did want to gain the support of the court mages.
But he also didn't want to be controlled by this crazy woman. This woman was single-mindedly trying to break through to the holy rank. The reason why she was wooing so many people was nothing more than wanting them to help her collect various rare resources to help her break through.
