Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

What does an emperor need to establish his conviction in the Empire?

The first is a powerful force to support the empire. I needed overwhelming force to stamp the soldiers of the local aristocrats.

That's why the Knights existed. The force of the Central Knights, including over 200 elite knights and more than three superhumans, is invincible in one word!

Even a noble with a large territory could not withstand the power of a knight who moves only directly to the emperor.

The second was a political force that would push the emperor's policy. Throughout the generations, emperors have set up academies and cultivated talented people to ward off nobles. That's why it was the Administrative Bureau of the Empire that was raised.

Support for emerging nobles who graduated from the Academy and established a ball to suppress the power of existing interests. The current emperor's side who occupied the headquarters of Mareus and the Administrative Bureau were factions created in this way.

And finally, the third...

“Money?”

“It's money! And where did you learn that nasty hand gesture? ”

Mareus' nagging voice echoes through Yurius' rolling fingers.

“Oh, I'm sorry. I've seen knights use it at the training ground.I guess I just copied it. ”

Yurius tries to scratch his head and quickly stops as he unwittingly rolls through the field in his previous life.

‘Well, to be honest, not everything I've done in my past life has been for no reason. What's with all the nagging? ’

Mareus speaks again, not knowing what he's thinking.

“I didn't know Earl Wallace was like that. If he really is the Grand Duke, it's a big old man's fault. ”

In fact, Mareus' face was still anti-Semitic.

Even after the betrayal of Yurius himself, he couldn't believe he was the Grand Duke himself.

Most importantly, he is actually the person in charge of the fund-raising of the nobles of the Emperor.

[Ryan Merchants Guild]

It is the richest and most famous merchant in the empire, and it is actually owned by the Marquis Wallace.

Certainly, the movement and trade of all the goods of the Emperor Clan was through the Ryan Merchant Guild because some of the aristocrats were merchants with large investments.

“But the question is, how do we reduce the Lion Merchant Guild's reliance? I don't have any proof, so I don't know if he'll listen to me. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Yurius would have a sharp plan immediately. Is there any conclusive evidence that Wallace is the Grand Duke?

No, actually, I do. But now was not the time.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind as he was worrying.

“If you can't reduce your dependency, why don't you invest elsewhere? ”

“What if you say invest? ”

“Let's do the same thing Wallace is tricking us into. ”

Mareus is no fool.

Just hearing that makes me feel like I just noticed.

“You're going to let a new dealer out of here? ”

“That's right. It's almost impossible to cut a deal anyway, so all you have to do is move the important deal slowly and change it around when Wallace notices." ”

“That should be a realistic way to minimize the damage. ”

Mareus nods, too.

It is impossible to take him down suddenly as long as Wallace is regarded as the Emperor's reaper.

Then it is more reasonable to choose a way to reduce the damage if it is disconnected than to terminate the relationship immediately at all.

“Then let me search for a replacement for the Ryan Merchant Guild. ”

“Ah, about that. ”

Yurius mutters.

“I heard about your training at the Administrative Office the other day. Is it true that famous merchants of the 'Hwan’ Empire in the east have been making their way into their home countries recently? ”

“Seems like I've had one, too. ”

“Then why don't you find a suitable Merchant Guild? It seems that the country is less likely to be trampled on overseas, and it is even more difficult to put pressure on domestic countries in the east. ”

“Your grace is astonishing. I was just about to think the same thing. But……. ”

Mareus raises his eyes slightly, suspiciously.

“Looks like a lot of our bureaucrats have a mouth to cry about. I should firmly educate you about the flooding of the Goethe River, as well as about the information that you are visiting for education at all times. ”

Yurius smiles inside.

‘Once the intention succeeded. ’

In fact, the information was not obtained from the administrative office, but only fitted with the knowledge he had previously known.

‘The Eastern Merchant Guild is clearly the only one entering the Empire at this time. ’

Yurius was determined to use the merchant guild to feed on the basis of the old Fox Wallace's power through metallurgy.

If you were the owner of the merchant guild, you could do some damage to Wallace just to get his blood pressure up.

Of course, it was good to see Mareus stir-frying only the dearly departed officials because of his lies, but it was inevitable.

At the battle council that day, there were rare appearances of Duke Wilhelm.

The agenda is the development of the Northern Empire.

The empire was a huge country with snowy mountains to the north and hot desert kingdoms to the south.

However, unlike the south-central part of the trade, the northern part of the empire is mostly a wasteland of undeveloped land.

There were countless countries in the North that made plunder their living. Despite the abundance of fertile farmland and natural resources, they were struggling to develop.

“Even with the Central Knights and the military, we must advance the development of the North. ”

“The Empire already has enough territory. Why are you trying to punish the Barbarians' land by shedding useless blood? ”

Of course, those who insisted on development were mainly the nobles of the Emperor.

Most of the nobles belonging to the Grand Duke did not need to greet the lands as much as the wealthy nobles already with fat lands in the south-central region.

To subdue the North requires enormous funds, the Emperor will most likely impose taxes on himself in order to raise an army.

Of course, the Grand Duke's nobles oppose the bubble in their mouths.

"Tsk, tsk, they're busy just picking up my bowls. ’

The emperor kicked his tongue and watched two factions fight more excitedly today.

Of course, for the Emperor, the development of the North was absolutely necessary.

If we were to subdue the Northern government officials with stable income, Milli would be able to empower the emerging aristocrats of the Emperor in terms of funding or military power compared to the Grand Duke.

“Your Majesty, may I comment on the development of the North? ”

Then all of a sudden, the Grand Duke, who was just sitting there watching the battle, raised his hand.

The emperor allowed the Grand Duke to speak out of curiosity.

“The Grand Duke? Tell me your opinion. ”

“First of all, I fully support the development of the North. ”

“!? ”

What did the Duke do wrong, the emperor and most of the nobles? I look at him with a look of nonsense.

Whether or not the Grand Duke starts vomiting hot feces.

“What do you need most to punish the North? Well-maintained roads to transport military and supplies! ”

Mareus quickly raises his hand to the Emperor.

“But it takes enormous manpower and money to build that road. Is there any way you can fix that? ”

The Grand Duke looks at Mareus once and smiles.

“Of course, the construction requires a small amount of money. The funds will be borne by me and the nobles of the South at 10: 00 p.m. ”

This time, all the Grand Duke nobles were stunned.

You're gonna cut down on the construction costs and you're gonna pay for all of them? What is this lightning bolt?

The Grand Duke instantly shrugs at the Grand Duke's nobles with frightening eyes.

“Hiic.”

The nobles who seemed to be disputing had no choice but to mutter in the cold gaze of the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke, who had silenced the nobles with just his eyes, began to speak.

“But there are other important things about road construction, besides money. ”

“What the hell is that? ”

I wonder why he's suddenly like this, but this time the Emperor's side comes first.

“That's the General Manager and Practice of Construction! ”

Yes! The road between the vast central and northern empires made it an unimaginable Grand Construction just by looking at the streets. This large-scale, state-owned business cannot possibly work well with an unassuming plan.

“Therefore, I recommend Sir Mareus, one of the best administrators in the empire, as General Manager of the Works! ”

This time, the nobles of the Emperor Clan were forced to become dumb with honey. It's because the Grand Duke's words fit perfectly.

Massive Road Construction Unknown in the Empire

On this occasion, of course, we had to put in some of the best talent the emperor had personally appointed. Even though Mareus was right, the emperor had to scratch his head.

“Mareus may be talented, but he's too old. I'm currently in charge of the first prince's education there. Do I have to draw it out? ”

The Grand Duke is more empowered to speak.

“Your Majesty! This construction is also a work in which our nobles gather their strength. How can we invest in the future of the Empire if we are not entrusted with reliable talent? ”

It was as if Mareus would not raise money unless he simply gave it to me.

“Then I'll make the decision at the next battle meeting. ”

The meeting that day ended the Grand Duke's shocking remark.
