Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Through their cunning schemes and forceful plundering, Queen Elizabeth's parents died mysteriously, and the family fiefdom ultimately fell into the hands of a distant relative due to the lack of an heir.

Less than half a year later, the fiefdom was completely sold to that great noble.

This experience made Queen Elizabeth deeply aware of the cruelty of power and the fickleness of the world.

This also became one of the reasons why she was extremely cautious about the distribution of power and the control of resources after becoming queen.

Because her ascension was not entirely legitimate, Queen Elizabeth paid particular attention to her reputation, so she did not retaliate against the great noble who had forced her family to ruin.

Now, Soren's proposal to nationalize mineral mining gave her an opportunity.

An opportunity for righteous revenge.

Soren's proposal undoubtedly stirred the desire for revenge deep within her heart. If the nationalization of mineral mining could be successfully implemented, it would surely be a way to retaliate against that great noble.

Emperor Gustav was surprised by the Queen's support, as he probably hadn't anticipated that she would support his proposal so strongly.

Gustav seemed to remember something and agreed without any hesitation, also setting the first target on that great noble.

"Good, then let Soren draft a charter as soon as possible." Gustav's tone was full of determination and expectation, clearly showing his full confidence in Soren's plan.

Soren had not expected that as soon as he proposed the mining rights, Gustav would use him as a knife to strike at a certain great noble.

However, he was not concerned about this at the moment, but was organizing the design drawings of the cavalry crossbow and the infantry pulley heavy crossbow, preparing to give them to the Ordnance Bureau for mass production.

These would be his future weapons of war, and they would also be sold to other countries. Because there were craftsmen who engraved secret codes for registration, it meant that the annual output could be verified, and it would be easy to trace the source if they were smuggled out, which could achieve true control of heavy weapons.

In the Empire, building weapons and armor was not a simple matter. Many nobles had blacksmiths within their fiefdoms,

most of whom only numbered one or two and could only meet daily needs.

Only a few great nobles would vigorously cultivate blacksmiths, and this also required the presence of mineral resources within their territory.

The Empire's iron ore smelting and mining were very backward, making it even more difficult to build weapons on a large scale.

Due to the limited number of blacksmiths and the underdeveloped mining and smelting technology, the armies of the fiefdom nobles, although large in scale, were inferior to the central army in terms of equipment and training, and therefore often at a disadvantage when confronting the central army.

Soren's next step was to continue to expand this advantage.

Cavalry crossbows and pulley heavy crossbows were both powerful weapons for the army, but that was not enough. He also wanted all soldiers to wear armor,

and use standardized weapons, instead of the current hodgepodge of weapons used by various units.

The main weapon for infantry would be the ring-pommel sword, which only needed one side sharpened, making it much faster to forge than the current main weapon, the broadsword, and also more conducive to hacking.

As Soren was carefully drawing the new weapon designs, he heard the Endless Blade remind him.

"Your Maria has returned to the palace."

Soren was slightly stunned, then looked at the unrecognizable ring-pommel sword on his desk, and finally gave up.

He really had no talent for drawing.

Putting away the drawings, Soren secretly sneaked into Maria's palace.

As Soren was about to enter Maria's palace, Irene discovered him and sighed softly, arranging for the people in the main hall to be transferred away, creating a secret meeting space for Soren and Royal Concubine Maria.

Royal Concubine Maria seemed to have known that Soren would come, and was quietly sitting in the music room playing the harp.

"Mother Consort!"

"You've come!" Royal Concubine Maria responded gently,

"I'm here to ask for your help." Soren said as he took out the drawings.

Royal Concubine Maria then let her clothes slip off.

When Royal Concubine Maria saw the drawings in Soren's hand, her cheeks instantly flushed red, obviously she had misunderstood.

However, Soren only paused briefly before taking the initiative to hug Royal Concubine Maria.

Royal Concubine Maria hesitated for a long time before actively putting her arms around Soren's waist.

"What do you need my help with?"

Because there was serious business to attend to, Soren picked up Royal Concubine Maria and sat her down on the sofa next to him, showing her the drawings from just now.

"I have no talent for drawing, so I wanted to ask you to help me refine them."

Royal Concubine Maria wanted to get up but was held tightly by Soren, and helplessly sighed.

Being held like a little woman like this, she had never experienced it in her life, causing her heart to beat faster. "Is this a staff?" Royal Concubine Maria asked tentatively, looking at the ring-pommel sword drawings.

Royal Concubine Maria smiled slightly, left Soren's body, and walked to her original clothes, which magically slid back up. Dressed neatly, Royal Concubine Maria took Soren to his study, lit the magic lamp, and began to teach Soren how to draw.

"Since it's a drawing for manufacturing an item, you must draw a three-view drawing so that it's convenient for the craftsmen to identify."

Royal Concubine Maria said as she began to draw.

"A three-view drawing is a drawing made by an observer observing the same spatial geometry from three different angles: top, left, and front."

Under Soren's guidance, Royal Concubine Maria quickly drew the design of the ring-pommel sword. Because it was a three-view drawing, Soren could see the style and appearance of the sword more clearly.

In addition to the numerical values marked by Royal Concubine Maria, Soren had the illusion that he was looking at a three-view drawing of Earth.

Sure enough, magic is the primary productive force in this world. Only by using magic rationally can a magical industrial revolution be unleashed.

As Soren happily picked up the drawings, Irene's voice sounded: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Royal Concubine Maria and Soren were greatly alarmed.

After only a brief moment of panic, Royal Concubine Maria stuffed Soren under the desk, while she got up to greet Gustav.

Although the two of them hadn't done anything yet, if the matter of the Crown Prince coming to Royal Concubine Maria's palace late at night were to spread, even if they really hadn't done anything, no one would believe it.

Soren hid under the desk, cooperating with the Cloak of Invisibility and the Endless Blade to help conceal his aura.

When Maria welcomed Gustav into the study, she did not feel Soren's aura and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My beloved consort, why haven't you rested so late? What are you busy with?" Gustav asked with concern.

Royal Concubine Maria walked to the position of the original desk and handed the newly drawn ring-pommel sword drawings to Gustav.

"This is a drawing that Soren asked me to help him draw."
