Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Yasso and Corinna were very surprised to see the bowl of white powder on Avellan's table.

"What is this?"

Yasso reached out and took a little with his finger.

"It's salt!" Yasso, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, just took a bite and said nonchalantly, turning his gaze to the food on the table.

Today was the first time the three of them had eaten together, and the quality of the food was four times that of a single person's meal.

The more people eating together, the better the quality of the food.

When Corinna heard that it was salt, especially after seeing such fine salt, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Fine salt is not nonexistent in this world. Many mages refine some fine salt for their own consumption, and occasionally mage apprentices will refine some fine salt to sell.

However, the total amount is still relatively small.

The palace has such a large court mage group, and the amount of fine salt obtained each month is only enough to provide for the twelve concubines, the emperor, and the empress dowager. These princes are not so lucky. Mages are fine, they can refine it themselves, but other professions can only buy it.

"There is not a trace of bitterness! Brother, this is refined salt." Corinna said in surprise.

If it was just a little, it would be fine, but there is more than a pound here. She once saw her mother's kitchen, and the refined salt allocated each month was only this amount.

"Knowledgeable!" Soren gave a thumbs up and said.

Yasso was still absentmindedly eating the food on the table, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Brother, did you refine this yourself?" Corinna knew that Soren also had the identity of a mage apprentice.

"Yeah! Is the quality not bad!" Soren said very proudly.

Corinna nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Nowadays, many mage apprentices' daily practice is to refine fine salt in order to achieve control over the elements.

However, Soren is already fifteen years old. It is said that he came into contact with magic at the age of eight. So many years have passed, and he is still a mage apprentice, which shows how poor his talent is.

"If you want to sell these refined salts, what methods do you have?" Soren said astonishingly.

"Why sell them? Isn't it good for us to eat them ourselves?" Yasso raised his head and said with some doubt.

Corinna thought for a moment and then said, "Now the market in the imperial capital is very large, especially for those wealthy nobles and big merchants. Buying refined salt is a symbol of strength and status, and it has always been in short supply."

Soren very much agreed with this point. Rarity is precious.

Especially this kind of refined salt that can only be refined by mages.

As long as it is an item associated with mages, it is basically equivalent to luxury goods in the previous life.

"The market price is between two and three silver coins per gram."

"A pound of refined salt can be sold for hundreds of gold coins," Yasso exclaimed.

In the imperial currency, ten copper coins are exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins are exchanged for one gold coin.

As a prince, his monthly allowance is about twenty gold coins. After Nicholas took away fifteen gold coins, he only had five gold coins left.

Five gold coins for an ordinary five-person family is half a year's living expenses.

"Brother, are you very short of money?" Corinna asked subconsciously.

"It's not that I'm short, it's that we are very short," Soren said without hesitation.

"We are short?" Corinna's heart couldn't help but beat faster when she heard the word "we."

This is acknowledging that she and they are members of a small team.

"Speaking of being short of money, brother, I have something to tell you. The reward that Father gave you was intercepted by the eldest brother, and Mother agreed," Yasso said nervously.

"I knew it! Why haven't I seen the reward until now? It's what I expected," Soren waved his hand dismissively.

Soren could guess their next plan with his toes, given Nicholas and his mother's nature.

"Brother, do you also want to participate in the struggle for the throne?" Corinna asked softly.

Corinna nodded in agreement.

"I just want us to have a better future. I don't want to put my hope on that unreliable eldest brother," Soren cut off a small piece of white bread with a knife and put it in his mouth.

"Of course, if I could pick up an emperor like Father, I wouldn't mind either."

Soren's last sentence caused Corinna and Yasso to burst into laughter.

"Corinna, I'll give you these refined salts. I need to get a batch of gold coins as soon as possible. I will give you refined salt every day in the future, and by the way, purchase a batch of crude salt with fewer impurities for me."

After eating and drinking enough, Soren put the fine salt into a clean leather bag and handed it to Corinna.

Corinna gritted her teeth and agreed. Although her mother's attitude towards her had changed, Corinna knew very well that her mother was still unreliable. Her main focus was still on her younger brother, just like Soren and his brother didn't trust their eldest brother.

"What about me?" Yasso asked impatiently.

"You are responsible for developing the market, and by the way, hooking up with the maids around the twelve concubines and bribing them as much as possible," Soren took out all the remaining savings.

It's funny to say, there are only a few six gold coins and a dozen silver coins.

Yasso's face suddenly collapsed. Adding his savings, it was less than twenty gold coins in total.

"Try it first, see which ones can be won over, don't run into the muzzle, and there will be a stable source of income when the refined salt is sold," Soren finished speaking and looked at Corinna and said, "Sister, try to use your family's chamber of commerce in the imperial capital to pay attention to the most profitable business in the imperial capital now."

"Understood, brother!"

Yasso nodded as if he understood.

After sending the two away, while Soren was considering how to make it bigger and stronger and create brilliance again, a maid came over and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Maria invites you to come over!"

Soren shook his head in his heart, knowing that Imperial Concubine Maria was going to beat him to let him know who to focus on in the future.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

If Imperial Concubine Maria wasn't so partial and had a little consideration for him and Yasso, Soren wouldn't want to abandon this biological mother and start his own business.

It's just that Imperial Concubine Maria asked him to go over, and he really could only obediently go over. After all, she was his biological mother. Otherwise, the show that had been going on for the past few days would have been for nothing.

"It seems that I have to hurry up and contact Imperial Concubine Maria!" With this thought in mind, Soren followed the maid to Imperial Concubine Maria's residence.

As soon as he entered the door, Soren saw Imperial Concubine Maria with a livid face and Nicholas sitting on the side triumphantly.

"Mother, do you have any instructions for calling your son over?" Soren suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked politely, but his voice was somewhat unwilling and stiff.
