Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Soren had actually anticipated the news about Emperor Gustav's intention to weaken the feudal lords. However, he did not expect this day to come so quickly.

At this moment, Soren was busy sorting out the abundant spoils of war obtained from the Northwest battlefield. Using his own name as collateral, he sent representatives to the logistics departments of various legions to purchase the soldiers' spoils at fair prices.

The soldiers knew that Prince Soren was always fair and selfless, so they were willing to sell their spoils to him.

This move kept Soren extremely busy, but it also made his reputation in the army even more resounding.

"Royal Brother, you're really just looking for trouble," Yasso said, shaking his head with a wry smile as he looked at the warehouse full of spoils. "You can't take all this stuff back with you."

Soren smiled upon hearing this, but did not respond.

He had already rented several large warehouses in Fulga City and Colenwalk City, specifically to store these spoils.

The hundreds of gold coins he had originally plundered were also completely exhausted in this large-scale purchase.

"Yasso, these spoils are not just mine, but also the soldiers' blood, sweat, and glory," Soren finally said, his eyes firm and deep. "I want them to know that their efforts will not be forgotten, and their glory will be forever recorded in history."

Yasso was silent after hearing this, understanding his royal brother's intentions.

This war was not just for victory, but also to protect the dignity of the country and the honor of the soldiers.

"If the soldiers cannot even preserve the spoils they risked their lives to obtain on the battlefield, and instead they are embezzled by officials at all levels, then over time, such a noble act as joining the army to serve the country will probably become something that commoners avoid like the plague," Soren said, his tone revealing deep concern. Maintaining the rights and interests of soldiers is the key to maintaining army morale.

"Moreover!" Soren changed the subject, a sly smile appearing on his face, and said, "I didn't plan to take all these things back anyway. Leaving them here to sell to the newly arrived nobles will allow us to earn even more."

Yasso and Korena looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

They knew that their royal brother had a good business mind, but they never expected that he could see business opportunities even in this war-torn land.

Soren couldn't help but laugh at their surprised expressions. He explained, "Think about it, many of the newly arrived nobles can't easily bring many things from their distant hometowns, and some newly promoted nobles were originally commoners, so they don't have these luxury items at all. If they want to integrate into this circle and show their noble status, they can only purchase them."

Korena listened thoughtfully, but still had doubts. "Royal Brother, what you said makes sense, but you also know that many newly promoted nobles may not have much money, and they won't be able to buy these luxury goods in the early stages."

Soren's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he heard this. He said with a smile, "I've already thought about this problem. I can set up a bank in the Northwest provinces, specifically to lend money to these newly promoted nobles. Whether they want to rebuild their territories or purchase supplies, they need money. And we can provide this financial support."

Yasso couldn't help but be completely impressed by Soren's foresight after hearing this.

Korena also showed an admiring smile. She knew that Soren's move would not only provide financial support to the newly promoted nobles, but also promote the economic development of the Northwest region, truly killing two birds with one stone.

"Then, Royal Brother, who are you planning to leave here to handle the bank affairs?" Korena asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Yasso also couldn't help but become nervous, secretly hoping to be sent back to the Imperial Capital.

He had been out for several months, and whenever the night was quiet, his longing for Aiqi Mili would surge like a tide.

Soren looked at them, a meaningful smile on his face, and slowly said, "I'll stay here for the time being, anyway, there's nothing much to do back in the Imperial Capital for the time being."

Yasso breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling both fortunate and disappointed.

Korena quickly said, "Then, Royal Brother, I'll stay here to help you." Her eyes were firm, obviously having made up her mind.

Yasso immediately showed a wry smile. If the two of them stayed, what reason could he have to leave? Feeling Korena's expectant gaze, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Of course, I'll also stay to help Royal Brother."

"...Regarding the matter of the ten state-owned land reclamation companies, I need you to secretly investigate..."

Seeing their mysterious appearance, Korena couldn't help but feel a little emotional. What couldn't they tell her?

Hearing that he could return to the Imperial Capital and carry out a secret mission, Yasso was overjoyed. "Understood, Royal Brother, I will investigate immediately after I return." His eyes sparkled with excitement.

Soren wanted to stay here not only for the bank affairs.

The bank was just a facade. His real purpose was to investigate the corruption in the army.

In the past few days, Jean Lerang had already discovered many problems in the accounts, and these problems might hide even bigger conspiracies.

Soren needed to stay and investigate this matter personally.

The news of Soren's decision to temporarily stay in the Northwest provinces spread back to the Imperial Capital like a gust of wind, causing many people to feel anxious and uneasy.

Empress Maria Theresa heard this news in the palace, and a hint of annoyance flashed between her beautiful eyebrows.

In the Holy Emblem Palace, however, the atmosphere was completely different.

"What is that kid up to again?"

Emperor Gustav was so angry when he heard that Soren wanted to set up a bank in the Northwest provinces that he slammed the water cup in his hand, the crisp sound of shattering echoing in the empty hall.

His brow was furrowed, obviously extremely dissatisfied and puzzled by Soren's move.

As the emperor, he was naturally worried that Soren's actions would break the power balance of the empire and even cause unnecessary disturbances.

At this time, Gustav even more hoped that Soren could come back and discuss the matter of weakening the feudal lords with him.

This plan was originally proposed by Soren, and judging from his performance during this period, he must have a certain plan for weakening the feudal lords that could be used, instead of them old guys groping like crossing a river by feeling for stones.

The matter of weakening the feudal lords was no small matter. If handled carelessly, not to mention the nobles of the fiefdoms, even the nobles stationed in the central provinces would cause trouble.
