Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Horns knew deeply that to smoothly implement the nationalization policy of refined salt, he not only needed to formulate a meticulous plan, but also needed to skillfully balance the interests of all parties to ensure the smooth implementation of the policy.

He began to think about how to maximize the benefits of refined salt without harming the interests of the nobles, bringing more financial revenue to the empire.

Seeing Horns lost in thought, Soren was not in a hurry to break the silence, but leisurely picked up the black tea on the table and gently sipped it.

The aroma of black tea spread in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness, making people feel happy.

“Butler Munster, this black tea tastes really good.” Soren exclaimed, his eyes showing appreciation for the manor's own black tea.

Butler Munster showed a proud smile on his face when he heard Soren's praise. He replied, "Your Highness, these are all grown by the manor itself. Your taste is very similar to His Majesty's. His Majesty also likes the manor's black tea very much. If you like it, I will send someone to deliver a portion to you every year when the black tea is harvested."

“Then thank you very much.” Soren smiled and expressed his gratitude, then turned his gaze back to Horns.

Horns nodded slightly after hearing this, very satisfied with Soren's decision.

Every year, incidents of poisoning caused by eating crude salt are common, which undoubtedly gives refined salt a huge market advantage.

However, Horns still had a concern: “Then, how should the price of refined salt be positioned? If the price is much higher than crude salt, I am afraid that many ordinary people will find it difficult to afford.”

Although Horns said that it was difficult for the common people to accept, he was actually implying to Soren that the empire could not suffer losses in the refined salt matter.

After careful consideration, Soren replied: “Regarding the price of refined salt, we do need to consider it carefully. We must not only ensure the empire’s financial revenue, but also prevent the people from feeling overburdened. Therefore, we can consider adding a reasonable profit on the basis of production costs, and at the same time make flexible adjustments according to market demand and the purchasing power of the people. In addition, we can also use the name of our father to provide subsidies and other methods to ensure that the price of refined salt is more affordable, thereby further broadening the market and winning the hearts of the people.”

Horns opened his mouth slightly. The first half was okay, but the second half was blatantly flattering Holy Prague III.

With this set of policies, Gustav would become the greatest emperor of the empire after the founding emperor.

“It’s just the financial shortfall.” Horns reminded: “His Majesty may be very happy, but the treasury’s situation is not optimistic.”

Hearing this, Soren couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice full of confidence and boldness. He turned to Horns, his eyes shining with wisdom, and said: “Lord Horns, have you ever heard that the higher the output, the lower the cost and the greater the profit?”

Horns was a little confused, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then he shook his head gently.

Although he is in this fantasy world intertwined with swords and magic, in essence, the people of this land are still bound by various limitations similar to those of medieval Europe.

This makes Horns still feel overwhelmed when understanding certain modern concepts.

Soren saw his incomprehension, so he patiently explained: “As long as we continue to deepen the refining process of refined salt and realize assembly line production, as the output increases, the production cost will gradually decrease, which will bring more generous profits.”

After hearing this, a trace of admiration flashed in Horns' eyes, and he sincerely praised: “Your Highness is really wise.” However, he was still a little confused: “However, Your Highness, can you please tell me, what is assembly line production?”

The corner of Soren's mouth twitched. He clearly didn't understand anything, but the flattery was casually added. He knew that Horns was still unfamiliar with this concept, so he decided to personally take Horns to the workshop.

A field visit to the assembly line production process of refined salt would allow him to understand this concept more intuitively.

When Horns walked out of the depths of the workshop, he seemed to be still immersed in the shock just now. His eyes shone with surprise and admiration, and he was obviously deeply touched by what he saw. Those precise and orderly work processes, the huge square pot boilers roaring, everything seemed so advanced and efficient.

He stood there, speechless for a long time, his heart full of admiration for Prince Soren's genius ideas.

Such assembly line operations not only increased the production speed, but also made the entire process more precise and controllable. He estimated that such a production method would increase the production speed by at least ten times.

This Prince Soren is indeed no ordinary person. Compared with other princes who only play with power, he pays more attention to practical work and pursues progress.

Horns gave Soren a perfect score in his heart for this test. Apart from the lack of knowledge about production technology, Soren's other suggestions were all within his plan.

With such a wise emperor leading the empire in the future, it is much better than those emperors who only play with imperial tactics. Of course, conversely, it means that this emperor will not be easy to fool in the future.

Despite this, Horns' favorability towards Soren has also risen sharply, but it is not enough to completely rely on the Seventh Prince's faction. He still has to continue to wait and see. Horns will still give support to some unimportant matters.
