Chapter 784 – #96. Jinhaesol (88)
Kki-Ik-!
Thud!
“Dangerous!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Damn it!! Call the priest! Priest!! Priest!!!!”
The emperor started a large-scale national project.
It was a plan that suddenly exploded while the nobles were collecting what they had and handing it over to Bianca.
“To decide such a large-scale construction without consulting us!
Usually, when doing such a large-scale national project, it was correct to consult with the nobility.
Where to build, who to hand over the operating rights to, and so on.
As the amount of money spent on the gigantic construction is large, the aristocrats naturally have no choice but to grow greedy.
“I guess the count doesn’t know yet. Everything her majesty said she would build, Bianca, will put it in her mouth.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!!! Isn’t she a foreign trader? Why are ours stolen from her!!”
The nobles had already finished analyzing the national projects that the emperor had informed them of.
If it was built like this, it was clear that a lot of wealth could be obtained.
So even though it was all a plan in Bianca’s head, she woke up and felt like her nose was cut.
If Bianca was a woman with a mind, such a plan would have to share the profits with the nobles.
“It’s clear that she’s taking our nobles lightly. She’ll never let this happen!”
By the time the aristocrats who are trying to get involved in national projects somehow burn their hatred for Bianca.
Another order came from the emperor.
It is to give nobles the opportunity to invest in national projects.
“Give us your money?”
“Aren’t you a robber? A robber!!”
“There is a rumor that the family that gave a lot of money can choose the operating rights.”
“It’s getting caught!! You must never give up your investment money!:”
“That’s right. After all, her yolk will be taken by her.”
The nobles were well aware of how things were going.
He also knew what Bianca was aiming for, giving nobles a chance to invest.
‘It must be to appease the nobles.’
‘Isn’t it enough to sense the crisis?’
‘Is it really an ordinary merchant…? There really isn’t someone behind it, right?’
The problem is that there are so many aristocrats who want to play with the trick, even though it’s an obvious trick.
Even the scraps given out as patronage would be of great benefit to the nobles.
‘If I fall into this job, I will be weeded out!’
When all the plans are realized, the nobles who did not benefit from anything will be weeded out.
Perhaps the ability to seduce the emperor was not foolish, but the plan that came out of her head was a way to properly squeeze through the gaps in the current situation of the thousand-year empire Geos.
It was a pity that she hadn’t come up with such an ingenious idea before.
“But will this plan really succeed? Even if we invest, isn’t this national project going to be profitable only if it succeeds?”
“There’s no way to fail!! It’s what the country does! We, the Geos Empire, are full of wealthy commoners, and there are many places that are blessed with nature! You know very well how much nobles overseas envy our Geos Empire. “
“We, the Geos Empire, are overflowing with places to visit.
The stronger the nobles’ pride in the bountiful nature of the Geos Empire, the more certain the success of the national project the emperor was trying to proceed.
And the more he did, the more he coveted the yolks that Bianca occupied.
If you can get even a small amount, investing will not be a loss.
However, nobles always longed for greater wealth, which was someone else’s rice cake, than the wealth they could have.
‘The emperor’s favor has reached the sky, can we really beat Bianca?’
‘In the first place, I said this business came from Bianca’s head. It is impossible to take away all the yolks.’
‘What if I rather ask for the yolk instead of being hostile and supportive?’
Whether you’re thinking of supporting Bianca, or thinking you have to antagonize and take it away.
The actions of the aristocrats, whose minds were complicated, began to slow down.
Each of them had a different greed, and it was not easy to put their minds together.
As Bianca had planned, it was the right choice for her to receive investment from nobles.
♧ ♧ ♧
Aristocrats who had a strong belief that national projects could not go bankrupt began to release the money they had been hiding in the barn.
Investment plan given by the state.
Thinking that there would never be any loss, both you and I started donating money to the country asking for a chance.
The emperor was dumbfounded when the amount of money, roughly equivalent to the amount of tax collected in a year, was gathered in an instant.
“I don’t know if you’re the aristocrats who insist that you have no money and are innocent. How can you change your face so quickly?”
“Then, didn’t their money come back to His Majesty’s hands?”
“I’ve learned quite a bit now, so I know something about the economy! The people are suffering because the nobles just pile it up and don’t use it.”
It was expected that 80% of the wealth in the empire would be accumulated in the nobles’ barns.
However, the rich history of the Geos Empire was not a matter of a day or two, so the level of wealth of the nobles was beyond imagination.
“It strikes me that perhaps nobles may have wealth greater than the Emperor’s personal endowments.”
“Since the nobles have been building wealth for generations… Maybe that’s the case.”
At Bianca’s reply, the emperor’s expression became serious.
Even with his political power, he was pushed back and forth by the aristocrats, and he felt a sense of crisis when he heard that even the ‘wealth’ that the emperor could be most confident in was being pushed back by the aristocrats.
“How do you think I can squeeze them in more? I want to take away the wealth of the nobles.
“In order for the imperial authority to be strong, you must first create an heir. And you must make the nobles who hold the military power your Majesty’s people. Pressure with wealth will only create a sense of repulsion.”
“The aristocrat holding the military power right now is not a level that I can deal with. He is not the person who will become my person.”
It might have been if the imperial power was a little stronger, but the current emperor has no political foundation at all.
There was no attractive condition for a noble holding military power to be on his side.
“You can give that person a lot of wealth.”
“Wealth…? Will it be enough?”
“It’s enough. It’s probably because you’re not persuaded because you’ve presented an unsatisfactory level of wealth.”
If you can’t be persuaded, you can give more wealth.
Until you are convinced.
If you put gold in your mouth and put it in…
Knowing that the boat is full and cannot go in any more, he will open it up in front of the emperor.
“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to hold wealth in military power?”
“After making them into His Majesty’s people, you have to deal with them at the right time. You need to raise such nobles who will never betray you even if you hold the military power.”
“It means to buy time with riches.”
The Emperor clenched his fists as if in deep realization.
Bianca smiled, drawing an arc through her luscious red lips.
“It will be of sufficient value. In particular, aren’t the assets to be handed over to him just ’empty checks’?”
“It’s going to take a long time to hand it over to him anyway. In the meantime, raise people and deal with it before giving them the promised wealth? Ha!! What an amazing plan. Bianca!! You must be a genius!!”
At first, Bianca was reluctant to give political advice, saying it was not suitable for her status.
But the emperor had never seen anyone as good at politics as Bianca.
Everything she said was of great help to the emperor, and relieved the emperor of his frustration with her nobles.
“I wonder what I would have done without you. Bianca, I have to keep advising Jim by his side. Okay?”
“I heard that Your Majesty will do everything I ask for, but is there no reason to leave? Don’t worry. Where there are merchants, there is no choice but to be where there is gold.”
As long as the prosperity of the Geos Empire continues, Bianca will never leave.
Reassured by her words, the Emperor recalled in his head the contents of Bianca’s ‘advice’ he received today.
‘Let’s make haste to create a successor. And I have to raise my people.’
Raising my own person was never easy, so the emperor fell into trouble.
If you ask Bianca, she will readily give you a solution.
However, the emperor couldn’t ask her to feed her mouth as he told her how to solve it.
‘I was incompetent enough to show you so far, but you can’t just show that kind of side forever. I also want to show Bianca the image of an emperor that I can trust and rely on.’
And if she’s honestly listened to this much advice, at least the rest is right for the emperor to do.
Bianca is because she was the kind of person who stings when the emperor relies too much on her.
The Emperor recalled the time when she tried to ask Bianca everything about her, but she was severely scolded.
“Your Majesty, do you think you will do this according to my opinion?”
“Uh?”
It was a sudden word.
“What’s wrong? I think the advice I gave is right.”
As usual, Bianca suddenly stopped the Emperor, who listened to Bianca’s advice and tried to implement it.
It was then that she instinctively felt that something was wrong.
In fact, she had been ignoring her for a while, but she didn’t think there was a problem.
She was conscious though.
It was around the time she started to rely on Bianca’s advice to the point where she wondered if this was okay.
And fortunately, Bianca was acutely aware that her Emperor’s behavior was unideal.
