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 163 "Lightning Shaman" Franklin

"10 million!" The middle-aged man with brown eyes seemed paralyzed, as if his brain's storage unit could not accommodate such a large number.

After a moment, he burst into laughter, "Haha, I know, it must be the King you're talking about, right?"

Mara immediately shook his head, "No, Valois, you've guessed wrong."

Ever since he'd had access to the government's financial data, he'd known that even if the King wanted to, he definitely couldn't embezzle tens of millions. In fact, most of the time, it was the King who was subsidizing the treasury.

"It's Necker." Mara said gravely, "Jacques Necker."

Valois was stunned for a moment, then let out an even bigger laugh, "Mr. Necker? Haha, you're saying Mr. Necker embezzled?

"Don't joke around, Mara! He was the Finance Minister who cared most about the poor! He hardly raised taxes at all during his term."
