Life of Being a Crown Prince in France

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!!!

Chapter 111 The Future of Industry

"This will require the purchase of a large number of potatoes to serve as 'seed potatoes.'" Joseph caressed the pattern on the teacup and looked towards Mirabeau, "Currently, the government can only provide one million livres, while a total of five million are needed. I also don't have that much money on hand for the moment, so I was hoping to borrow some from you."

Joseph knew that after investing in the paper mill, Mirabeau might not have much money left either, but he had extensive connections and was on good terms with many of the capitalist nobility, so he could help by reaching out on his behalf.

"Oh, of course, rest assured, I can mortgage the shares of the paper workshop or 'The Angel of Paris' as collateral."

Mirabeau said, "Your Highness, you can only buy potatoes in a few provinces such as Alsace and Lorraine. Are you saying we need to procure them from places that far away?"

"That's right."
