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

Annual expenditures exceeded income by 20.7 million livres.


Compared to last year's deficit of 130 million, this indeed represented a significant reduction, yet it was still an extremely terrifying figure!


Especially since next year there was the prospect of exhausting food reserves, necessitating the expenditure of a great deal of money to purchase food. Should anything go awry, the recently improved financial situation could quickly deteriorate.


Historically, France nearly doubled its national debt from 1787 to 1789 over the course of three years in order to deal with famine and riots!


And Joseph knew that the drought would continue until the second half of next year before any relief could be expected, so he could not afford to take it lightly before then.


To deal with the food crisis, one first needed money in hand.


Whether it was to purchase food or, in a last-resort scenario, to seize it, substantial capital was required for support.
