Mount Tianhai

In France, just entered Versailles, with the identity of the Crown Prince.
The only problem was that the reigning king was Louis XVI, and in two years, he'd be "snapped"...
Since I couldn't rely on dear old dad and the ministers, I had to take matters into my own hands to reform France!
First, make a bit of easy money to solve the financial crisis that had plagued the nation for hundreds of years.
Then give a harsh lesson to those nobles harboring treacherous intentions and plotting to seize power.
Next, confiscate the Church's abundant lands, acquired without lifting a finger.
Industry, technology, agriculture, commerce—I will all advance side by side, I, the greatest Crown Prince in France!
That year, when the little British struggled with the allied forces at his borders, I simply took over his little island.
That year, my sword pointed at all of Europe, the magnificent feat Napoleon didn't accomplish, I will achieve!!!

Life of Being a Crown Prince in France

"The two most important companies in your country, namely the Dutch East India Company and the West India Company, don't seem to be doing very well lately, are they?"

"Then may I ask if your Congress has any plans to improve the companies' situation?"


Campelem replied with a pained expression,


"Your Highness, that is rather difficult... after all, the volume of trade is what it is."


"The fundamental reason is that the British have monopolized many trade routes and continue to hit your colonies."
