Minister of Finance

It seems strange that the empire's budget is left to a 13-year-old teenager, but I know what I'm doing. After my grandfather died in my previous life, I had to figure out how to invest money and not waste it.

Three days later I was introduced as the new finance minister of the empire. People's reactions were uneasy, but I shouted and said,

"I am Aaron Lionheart, despite my young age, I know how to make the empire revive again, so by the honor of my family, I swear to improve the state of the empire."

Some started to get upset and others had no choice but to trust me.

After I put on elegant and beautiful clothes, but they were tight again, I went to the ministry headquarters. It was a place that looked like a palace where ministers in the capital met. I went to my office and entered. I found the place untidy, with books spread everywhere. I found a girl with yellow hair and sharp eyes who did not see well. I closed the door and was surprised. She threw everything in her hand.and she said

"Who's there? I'm not receiving guests now."

I told her I was the new finance minister, Aaron Lionheart.

She stood up quickly and said, "Mr. Minister, forgive this fool for her bad manners."

She was closing her eyes to see well, so it seemed to me that she was suffering from poor eyesight, so I told her:

"I am the Minister of Finance but I am only here to help the empire and the first thing I will do is give you a solution for your eyes"

She was surprised by my words and told me that I could not treat something congenital.

I put my hands over her eyes and told Seely to measure her eyes and give me exact numbers for her vision problem.

She gave me what I wanted and I discovered that she had a corneal deformity so I quickly made the necessary elements to make glasses and the glasses should have been made after two centuries but the empire is in danger if there is a shortage of something like this

I put the glasses on her and she was shocked and said

"Impossible, I can see normally and you are really handsome, Mr. Minister. Thank you very much. Please tell me the name of this magical invention."

I told her it's not a magic show but a science show called glasses that helps people like you who have blurry vision.

She was very happy and started to cry. She wiped them away and said that she would never forget my kindness.

She said that it was now necessary to focus on the current budget and since the Emperor had chosen me, I should have solutions.

I smiled and told her to give me all the budget problems and some damages that affect the budget.

I found out that the problems are as follows:

* War aid.

* Unemployment in most areas due to lack of agricultural land.

* Plague in the north due to the large number of corpses that attract rats, which led to the spread of the epidemic and the budget is paid for to stop its spread.

* Lack of fishing due to pressure from the war and the French pressure in the English Channel.

* Lack of diplomatic relations that affect trade exchanges and affect the economy.

* The spread of black markets and slave markets.

The problems were catastrophic in the budget. I don't know how the king managed to maintain his composure with these problems. So I decided to solve one problem with another.

So I tried to see the non-economic problems that affect the budget and found that there are few fishing guilds that help to employ fishermen and also to enter the dungeons so I decided to take part of the budget and brought the strongest fishermen of the empire who are not participating in the war

I made them sit with me at one table and gave them the right to build their own guilds and give them enough money for that on the condition that they return the money when their guilds succeed and also a financial tax of up to 30% annually. They agreed to this and we signed the contract and I stipulated that they disperse in the empire to find different people and that there be no competition and with that I ended the matter of the hunters

After a period of waiting because I did not want to solve the problems all at once so that one malfunction would not occur that would destroy the entire economy, the leader of the first and only guild in the empire came to me and asked to cancel the contract with the new guilds that had begun to bear fruit and said:

"Mr. Minister, I ask you to terminate your contract with the new unions because this affects my work."

The leader of the Knights Guild was John Smith. He had yellow hair and green eyes. He was in his forties with a short yellow beard and wrinkles on his face.

I answered him with a strong aura and an angry tone

"Your guild, Mr. John, never does its job properly since it is the only one in the empire. Therefore, the guilds currently before completing their debts belong to the empire. Therefore, do not try to oppose my decisions because you will regret it."

He was afraid of my aura, the aura of the sword master, and he apologized to me and tried to leave, and I told him

"Mr. John, if you are afraid of your union going bankrupt, why did you sign a contract with me that protects your lands from being seized by new unions, on condition that I take a 35% share of the protection?"

He hesitated at first because the percentage was high, but he had to agree because the new unions became agitated and their hunters increased greatly.

I don't care about the Knights Guild's share, but I did this to make her get back to work.
