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

This is also the reason why Prussia was the first to exit the war—if it continued, the nation would go bankrupt.


In fact, Prussia managed to hold on until now entirely due to the financial support provided by England.


Brian saw the Crown Prince turning the pages and immediately said:


"Your Highness, the total expenditure for the first ten months this year is 650 million francs, with an estimated annual spending of 800 million francs. In other words, there will be a deficit of 30 million francs."


Since Joseph came to power, France has had a fiscal surplus for two consecutive years, with a surplus as high as 100 million francs last year.


This year, under the enormous consumption of war, the situation of spending exceeding income has re-emerged.


Joseph looked at the total national debt at the bottom of the report, 1.87 billion francs.
