Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Inside Saint Emblem Palace.

Emperor Gustavus watched the silent ministers, amused. He knew that while the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau was an important decision for the empire, the ministers seemed somewhat at a loss as to how to implement it specifically.

"A mere Ordnance Bureau, how has it stumped you all like this?" Gustavus's voice carried a hint of jest, as he was clearly somewhat frustrated by the ministers' hesitation.

Minister of War Breyer strongly supported the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau, but putting him in charge of this task was too difficult for him. He was good at leading troops in battle, but he felt a headache just hearing about weapon manufacturing, assembly line production, and other matters.

Minister of Finance Horns was considering whether the Ordnance Bureau should be managed by the Special Affairs Office or the Finance Office after its establishment. This concerned the allocation of power and attribution of responsibility, requiring careful consideration.

Gustavus looked at the ministers, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation.

He hoped that the ministers could come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible so that the empire could smoothly advance the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau.

At this crucial moment, Gustavus realized that the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau was not just a military issue,

but also a political one.

He needed to balance the interests of all parties to ensure that the empire could smoothly advance this important decision.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" a guard shouted loudly from outside the palace.

Hearing Soren's arrival, the ministers present breathed a sigh of relief in unison. After all, the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau was proposed by Soren, and they believed that Soren must have a well-thought-out plan for this matter.

Soren entered and saluted, expressing his respect to Emperor Gustavus.

Seeing Soren, Gustavus immediately asked impatiently: "Soren, tell me your views on the Ordnance Bureau!" His tone revealed his expectation and trust in Soren.

Soren raised his head, his gaze firmly fixed on Gustavus, his voice full of confidence and decisiveness: "Father, I believe that the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau is crucial for the empire. It will help to unify the manufacture and distribution of ordnance, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau will also help to reduce waste,

and improve resource utilization efficiency."

Soren's words revealed his deep consideration for the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau, and his plan was clearly carefully considered and prepared.

The ministers present nodded in agreement upon hearing Soren's answer.

Soren's proposal was reasonable, and the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau would help the empire's development and strength.

Minister of Finance Horns immediately stood up and asked: "Your Royal Highness, how should the Ordnance Bureau be established? How to build assembly line production? And where will its final affiliation lie?"

Horns's three consecutive questions pointed directly to the core issues of the Ordnance Bureau's establishment, namely how to build it, how to ensure production efficiency, and the final issue of affiliation. These issues were critical factors that must be considered when establishing the Ordnance Bureau, thus arousing widespread concern and approval from the ministers present.

Soren replied: "The construction of the Ordnance Bureau will naturally be based on the improvement of the original ordnance workshop. Assembly line production is even simpler. I will come up with a plan later. The biggest difference is that from now on, the blacksmiths I am responsible for building must engrave their mark on the weapons they forge after completing the forging,

so that if the weapons are found to be substandard in the future, responsibility can be traced back to them."

Soren's plan emphasized the importance of quality control. By engraving the blacksmith's mark, responsibility for weapon production can be traced, thereby ensuring product quality. This approach not only guaranteed the quality of weapons but also improved production efficiency.

Minister of Special Affairs Reineski immediately stood up to express his concerns: "Your Royal Highness, once this matter is implemented, it will definitely greatly reduce the production efficiency of blacksmiths. Blacksmiths may slow down their forging speed due to concerns about being held accountable."

Soren expressed his understanding of Reineski's concerns, but he explained: "This is the importance of assembly line operation. Take a sword as an example, the blacksmith's work is divided into two parts: forging iron and casting the sword. As for the hilt and sharpening processes, they are handled by others, and quality inspectors are specially assigned to ensure the quality of the product."

Soren's answer showed that the assembly line operation would divide the blacksmith's workflow into multiple stages, with each stage being handled by a dedicated person. This would not only improve production efficiency but also ensure the quality of each stage. At the same time,

the addition of quality inspectors could detect and correct problems in the production process in a timely manner, avoiding the production of substandard products.

Horns asked again: "Your Royal Highness, where does the final ownership of the Ordnance Bureau lie?"

Horns's original ordnance workshop was under the responsibility of the Special Affairs Office, but in recent years, Horns had long wanted to take it over and include it in the management scope of the Finance Office. The reason why he had a headache was that he had to allocate funds to the Special Affairs Office to purchase weapons every year, and the price of the weapons purchased was 10% higher than the market price.

Soren understood Horns's concerns, and he replied: "Minister Horns, regarding the ownership of the Ordnance Bureau, I suggest that it be jointly managed by the Finance Office and the Special Affairs Office. This can ensure the effective use of resources, and also ensure production efficiency and product quality. Of course, we still need to further discuss and formulate the specific details."

Soren's answer showed his deep consideration for the allocation of power. He hoped to achieve mutual supervision through joint management,

balance the interests of all parties, and also ensure the efficient operation of the Ordnance Bureau.

The ministers agreed with Soren's answer.

The Special Affairs Office was actually the Shaofu of the Qin and Han dynasties in ancient times, a functional institution for the royal family to manage private wealth and living affairs.

The Special Affairs Office has a large organization and many subordinate officials, exceeding the actual needs of the institutions and personnel in charge of national financial affairs.

Because of this, there are more corrupt officials in the Special Affairs Office than in the Finance Office. If it were not for considering the interests of the royal family, Soren would also want to reform this Special Affairs Office, but this matter is not under his control now, and he is not in a position to intervene.

As Gustavus listened, he felt that something was wrong. How could it be that in the end, his industry was being divided up? The extra 10% of the money usually went into the emperor's private treasury, which could be considered the emperor's extra income.
