Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Gustav coughed repeatedly, signaling Soren to stop talking.

This was clearly a reaction to Soren's proposal, implying that Soren's suggestion might touch upon some of the Emperor's sensitive points.

As Emperor, Gustav also found the annual expenditure on armaments replacement to be a considerable burden, especially for the four legions stationed around the Imperial Capital; this expenditure was a significant burden for the Imperial family.

Gustav's coughs and hints made the ministers present realize that Soren's proposal might be touching upon the Emperor's interests.

The ministers aligned with the Emperor began to re-examine Soren's proposal, considering the potential impacts and consequences it might bring.

Horns began to worry that if the Armaments Bureau was jointly managed by the Ministry of Finance and the Special Affairs Bureau, they might face pressure from mutual checks and balances. However, having a certain degree of pricing power over armaments in the future would allow the Ministry of Finance to reduce a significant portion of its expenditure.

Rhinekey, on the other hand, was concerned that this might lead to them needing to invest more resources, and might even affect other affairs within their ministry.

Soren understood Gustav's hint and decided not to continue discussing the issue of the Armaments Bureau's ownership, instead turning to discuss other aspects. The establishment of the Armaments Bureau needed to take into account the interests of all parties, including the Emperor's interests, as well as the interests of the Ministry of Finance and the Special Affairs Bureau.

The ministers expressed their approval of Soren's reaction.

Many ministers were also nobles, and their family guards inevitably needed private soldiers. If Horns was watching over things, the weapons produced by the Armaments Bureau in the future would be much cheaper.

Inside the Holy Emblem Palace study.

Gustav asked bluntly, "Soren, what exactly are you up to?"

Soren quickly bowed to show his respect for the Emperor, and then replied, "Father, don't be anxious, listen to me." His voice was full of confidence and calmness, clearly possessing a firm belief in his plan.

"I am confident that after the establishment of the Armaments Bureau, under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance, the cost of armaments can be greatly reduced, and the production of armaments can be increased. In this way, the price of armaments will fall, and the expenditure for the Imperial Legions will also be greatly reduced."

Gustav's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt upon hearing Soren's explanation. Soren's plan might help the development of the empire, but he also worried that it might affect the interests of the Imperial family.

Gustav pondered for a moment, then said to Soren, "Alright, since you are so confident, then do as you plan. But you must remember that the establishment of the Armaments Bureau cannot affect the Imperial family's mining rights for iron ore, you must guarantee this."

Soren nodded to indicate his understanding.

After leaving the Holy Emblem Palace, Soren considered how to make the iron ore mining an exclusive operation of the Imperial family as he walked.

The Empire had begun laying out plans from its establishment. Although most of the iron mines within the feudal provinces were directly under Imperial territory and were never granted to nobles, it was still impossible to completely ensure that salt and iron mines were under the control of the Imperial family.

Many salt and iron mines were discovered by nobles later on. These mines would inevitably become the economic pillars of the nobles, and they would definitely not agree to be nationalized by the Imperial family.

This required careful planning.

It was not easy to deal with the nobles in the feudal provinces, so he could only target the nobles in the central provinces.

Just as Soren was thinking about how to target the nobles in the central provinces, Emily suddenly appeared in front of Soren with Little Mina.

"Royal Brother!" Little Mina's joyful call interrupted Soren's thoughts.

The Endless Blade reminded him in a timely manner, "This woman has been wandering around your palace for a long time."

The Endless Blade's reminder made the corners of Soren's mouth curl up slightly.

This woman's thoughts were indeed meticulous.

Soren smiled, picked up Little Mina, and then lifted her high.

Soren genuinely liked Little Mina, his younger sister.

Soren asked, "Little Mina, have you been cultivating properly recently?"

Little Mina replied in a childish voice, "Replying to Royal Brother, Mina meditates on time every day, listens to Mother's words, and practices magic."

Soren walked to Emily's side while holding Little Mina. "Good girl!"

Little Mina received praise and happily raised her small head.

Emily also showed a gratified smile.

Returning to Emily's palace, Soren took out the testing crystal pillar in the palace's side room.

"Grab this ." Before Soren could finish speaking, Emily started waving her arms and legs, making Soren's face turn red.

This woman's reaction was a bit strong today.

"Is it this one?" Emily asked charmingly.

Soren shook his head awkwardly, pointing to the crystal pillar and said, "It's this one, grab it and inject magic power, you can test your cultivation talent."

Emily then realized, it was all because of the communication with Soren during this period, the two often teased each other in their letters,

Making Emily unable to control herself for a moment.

Realizing this, Emily casually retracted her hand and pressed her hand on the crystal pillar.

Soon, the light of the eighth level peak appeared on the crystal pillar, attribute Earth.

This surprised Soren very much. He knew that Emily's talent was not low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

During this period, he also summarized his experience.

Cultivation talent can reach the eighth level, placed in the Imperial Capital, that is a saint-level seed.

The only difference is that some people have enough resources and top-level breathing methods to cultivate, and some people don't.

Cultivation qualifications reach the eighth level peak, as long as the resources are sufficient, they can basically attack the saint level, and there is a high probability of breaking through the saint level.

This is Soren's reference to his great-grandfather Alonso's experience. "Your talent is very good, it is entirely possible to attack the saint level," Soren said happily.

Emily, who was originally indifferent, suddenly had her eyes light up, as if she was full of expectation and longing for Soren's words.

If she can break through to the saint level, she might be able to break through the cage of the palace, and the sky is the limit.

"Your Highness, can you help me?" Emily asked.

Soren did not answer, and tested Little Mina while holding her.

Soren estimated that Little Mina's talent was also at the eighth level, but the result gave Soren another surprise.

The crystal pillar showed early ninth level, attribute Wood.

Soren looked at the talent value of the crystal pillar, speechless.
