Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Gustav couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, which woke Queen Elizabeth, who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"Your Majesty, what has made you so happy?" Queen Elizabeth asked sleepily.

Gustav said, "Soren rushed back overnight. Indeed, of all my sons, he is the one most after my own heart."

Upon hearing this, Queen Elizabeth couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile. However, the murderous intent in her eyes intensified.

This time, she would make good use of Soren as a sharp blade, to let those who forced her family into extinction taste the same experience.

Queen Elizabeth solemnly asked, "Your Majesty, can this matter be entrusted to me and His Highness the Crown Prince for discussion?"

Gustav thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Do as you wish, Queen! But it's best to be straightforward with Soren, so he will spare no effort to help you. Don't try to use him; that boy is very shrewd."

Queen Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully.

Soren arrived at the Holy Emblem Palace, covered in dust from his journey. Gustav and Queen Elizabeth were waiting for him in the study.

Emperor Gustav said, "No need for formalities! The reason I summoned you back this time is that there is an important matter that needs to be entrusted to you."

Soren quickly nodded in response, "Father, please rest assured, I will do my best and will not let you down."

Queen Elizabeth took out a document and handed it to Soren. Soren opened it and saw that it listed the names and fiefdoms of more than a hundred nobles, all of whom owned iron mines within their territories.

Queen Elizabeth said, "The purpose of summoning you back this time is to use you to make an example of a few to warn the others, to show the other noble lords the methods of our royal family."

Soren remained silent. He wasn't foolish enough to think that this was the only reason he was called back to the capital. There must be some actions by these nobles that forced his father to act in advance.

Queen Elizabeth, remembering the Emperor's reminder, sighed and said, "After the news of the nationalization of iron mines spread, these nobles secretly united, not only controlling the market price of iron but also secretly forming a Steel Guild, preparing to jointly resist the royal family."

Hearing this, the corners of Soren's mouth twitched.

The term "Guild" originated from Soren, and the Fine Salt Guild was one of its representatives.

Queen Elizabeth said, "In the next few days, you should familiarize yourself with these situations. I will have Cabrones fully cooperate with you. After you have a clear understanding, I will personally choose the target for you to attack."

Soren nodded.

"Father, the solar salt production method I recently developed has shown initial results. The sea salt produced can completely replace regular salt, and the cost is only half that of regular salt."

Gustav and Queen Elizabeth's eyes lit up simultaneously. In this way, the price of sea salt was very likely to be cheaper than salt mine salt. The cost for the nobles in the fiefdoms to mine salt might even be higher than that of sea salt, which would make it unprofitable for them.

In that case, true nationalization of salt could be achieved.

Gustav said, "Good, good, good. I will have people handle this matter. For now, focus on the iron mines."

Soren handed the solar salt production method to Gustav, asking him to prepare for the construction of salt farms. Having the Emperor come forward would be much better than Soren struggling in the Northwest.

Moreover, there were not many places suitable for building solar salt farms in the Northwest, far inferior to the superior conditions in the southeastern provinces.

Back in his own palace, Soren roughly read through the information and had to admit that the wealth of these lords with mines was unmatched by ordinary lords.

No wonder Gustav hurriedly summoned him back. Once these fellows had money, they would naturally vigorously cultivate the transcendents in their families. The number of professionals in their families far exceeded that of ordinary nobles.

Professionals who break through the sixth rank can be called transcendents.

Take Viscount West as an example. Their family only had four professionals, father and sons, and two or three low-rank professionals under their command.

And Simon, the Viscount, who also has a viscount territory, has dozens of professionals from his family, more than a hundred professionals gathered, and more than ten transcendents.

Such strength, placed in the Northwest, is only slightly inferior to some great nobles with hundreds of years of inheritance.

"Someone, send these things out."

Soren solemnly took out the test crystal pillars. There were many considerations for sending out these precious test crystal pillars.

As for the Royal Academy, which is an important cradle for cultivating the future talents of the empire, sending four test crystal pillars can help the academy more accurately discover and evaluate the students' talents and potential, and cultivate more outstanding talents for the empire.

The Adventurers' Guild is a gathering place for many adventurers. Sending two test crystal pillars can allow adventurers to better understand their talents, so as to make more informed choices on the road of adventure and contribute to the exploration and development of the empire.

Elementary schools and secondary schools are important places for basic education. Sending two test crystal pillars to each can help discover students' talents and strengths in the early stages of their growth, and point them in the direction of their future development.

Leaving four in the palace is to be able to conduct talent tests on the personnel in the court and important guests who come occasionally, in order to better understand and employ them.

The Harron family and the Vera family are now Soren's maternal families and staunch supporters of the royal family.

The Vera family is now readjusting its attitude and fully supporting Soren, the Crown Prince. Soren sent a test crystal pillar to express his gratitude for their support and to further consolidate the friendly relationship between the two parties.

Showing the sincerity and generosity of the royal family.

In short, the delivery of these test crystal pillars is not only a support and feedback to all parties but also for the prosperity and development of the entire empire, giving full play to their important role in talent discovery and talent cultivation.

After determining the magical effect of the test crystal pillars, the several forces that received the gifts caused a huge wave in the capital.

This news spread like wildfire to every corner of the entire capital, which triggered a talent test craze throughout the capital.

People flocked to places with test crystal pillars, eager to understand their talents, and looking forward to changing their destiny.

Even Gustav was alarmed and summoned Soren to the Holy Emblem Palace early the next morning to question him.
