Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Rhinesky asked, "How can the local nobles assist the Ordnance Bureau?"

Sauron said, "Outsource non-essential components."

"Outsource?" The ministers were confused by Sauron's terminology.

Sauron explained, "For example, outsource the production of less demanding components like sword hilts and pins to the nobles, letting them handle the production, and we just purchase them. Then, our craftsmen assemble them, while our blacksmiths focus on forging the blades."

Sauron's words were clear, painting a picture of a completely new military production model for everyone.

This approach would not only make full use of the nobles' resources and manpower but also improve the Ordnance Bureau's production efficiency.

Rhinesky seemed thoughtful. Then, he asked, "How do we get the nobles to willingly accept outsourcing?"

Sauron said, "Of course, with money. Although it's said to be for the empire's fight against the Orcs, it won't work without sufficient profit. For example, assess the output of the noble's blacksmith shops. Purchase the first thousand accessories at cost price, and after that, increase the price per accessory."

Sauron's plan was well-considered, satisfying the nobles' profit needs while ensuring the progress of military production.

Rhinesky instantly understood. It was like the incentive model in the workshops: completing the quota only yields normal salary, and only exceeding the quota brings bonuses, pushing the craftsmen's labor to the limit.

To some extent, this model could stimulate the enthusiasm of the nobles and craftsmen, contributing more to the empire's war effort.

This approach is not without risks and may cause dissatisfaction and resistance from some nobles.

However, under the current emergency, this seems to be a viable solution.

Rhinesky and Hornes exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement: "I understand!"

Assessing the nobles' production capacity will also require the assistance of the Ministry of Finance.

Gustav said gently, "Alright, Sauron, you just returned. Go back to the palace and rest well."

"Thank you, Father! Your son takes his leave."

Gustav nodded with a smile, but as Sauron left the hall, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Those who said the Crown Prince was going to rebel were truly malicious, attempting to sow discord between father and son.

If Sauron hadn't reported this matter in time, the Northwest would have been in danger, and Barfield Fortress would have been difficult to defend.

Thinking of the terrifying scene of the Orc army pressing down, Gustav's blood surged, and he secretly resolved to kill a batch of nobles as a warning to others.

Sauron returned to his palace and had just settled down when Erin arrived.

"Your Highness! The Imperial Concubine requests your presence."

"Alright!"

Erin walked silently ahead, leading the way. Her mood was extremely complex.

Every time she saw Sauron, she didn't know what to say, her mind filled with thoughts.

She really didn't know if it was right or wrong for Imperial Concubine Marias to adopt Sauron into her name back then.

Arriving at Marias's palace, the Imperial Concubine Marias was quietly drinking red tea, holding a magic book in her hand,

her expression calm and elegant.

A peaceful atmosphere pervaded the palace, but it also faintly revealed a hint of tension, as if waiting for an impending storm.

After all, not long ago, rumors spread that the Crown Prince wanted to start a rebellion, which shook the entire capital at the time.

This rumor was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

The nobles in the capital were panicked, and various forces speculated on the direction of the incident.

Those with ulterior motives took the opportunity to fan the flames, trying to profit from it.

Ordinary people were also shocked by the sudden news, worrying about the future of the empire and fearing falling into war.

Now, although the storm seems to have subsided temporarily, the previous shock still left a deep mark in people's hearts.

Imperial Concubine Marias naturally heard about this matter, and her summoning Sauron at this moment may also be to understand the truth of the matter and plan for the stability of the empire and the future of the family.

Obviously, the news of the Orc invasion has not yet spread.

Compared to the shock and fear caused by the Crown Prince's rebellion, the news of the Orc invasion would inevitably cause panic once leaked.

This is because the Orcs have always had the tradition of treating humans as two-legged sheep. When food is sufficient, they use humans as slaves, and if there is no food, they will use humans as food.

Thinking back to the Orc invasion fifteen years ago, Imperial Concubine Marias's thoughts were surging.

"After that war, the empire lost nearly fifty million people, and more than one million soldiers were killed in battle." Recalling that tragic war, the Imperial Concubine's eyes were filled with grief and worry.

Sauron also fell silent.

The pain brought by the war fifteen years ago has not yet completely dissipated, and now the Orcs are about to invade again, which is undoubtedly a huge test.

Erin suddenly realized something. Compared to other princes, Crown Prince Sauron is really reliable, no, he should be called excellent.

The Emperor's dispatching him to the Northwest was really a wise choice.

At this critical moment, Sauron's calmness, wisdom, and responsibility filled Erin with admiration for him.

If it weren't for that little thing between him and the Imperial Concubine, she couldn't help but sigh, with Sauron as the future Emperor, it would be the empire's luck when the empire faces such a major crisis.

Imperial Concubine Marias asked, "His Majesty should fully support you, but is the current support already the limit?"

Sauron was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, I've been under a lot of pressure lately."

Imperial Concubine Marias immediately understood, reached out, and pinched Sauron's face.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the magic tower tonight."

Sauron immediately understood Imperial Concubine Marias's hint and nodded repeatedly.

Sauron didn't stay in the palace for too long. He hurried to the Adventurers' Guild to post a mission.

Since the capital had not yet revealed the news of the Orc invasion, Sauron couldn't act rashly. So, he cleverly changed the fight against the Orcs to invading the northern wilderness inhabited by Orcs.

Once this mission was released, it immediately received a response from many adventurers.

In order not to let the adventurers sacrifice in vain, Sauron still set a lot of requirements.

For example, at least five hundred people were required to form a group to sign up, and after accepting the mission, they needed to be managed by the local army.

Killing Orcs would earn rewards, and all captured spoils of war would belong to the adventurers.

For a time, countless adventurers were attracted and went to the Northwest for adventure.

They embarked on this land full of unknowns and challenges, harboring a desire for wealth and honor. And Sauron's move also added an indispensable force to the upcoming war.

Preliminary estimates show that the number of adventurers going to the Northwest will exceed ten thousand. If used well, the combat power of these ten thousand adventurers is much stronger than the soldiers of the Imperial Army.
