Chapter 413: Burden of the Empire (8)
Who is the most loyal subject of the Tuscan Empire right now?
If you look at objective indicators when you do a survey on that topic, I would be ranked first.
He spread the method of private profiteering in the Tuscan Empire, doubled food production, and insisted on taxing merchants even though he was a merchant, thereby creating a corporate tax.
He spread quarantine and hygiene to prevent the epidemics that always terrified the people of the Empire, and saved the workers from unscrupulous bosses.
He even risked his life in the war against the Kingdom of Lyon, but he opened the gates of Guillaume City and made the Empire's overwhelming victory possible.
His contributions were so great that you could say they cover the sky.
To doubt me like that is to confess that you don't want to live.
Even when Sforza was fine, he couldn't dare say to me, "That bastard's physiognomy is a traitor's physiognomy!"
His Excellency the Minister of Finance was hit by my counterattack-proof ultimate attack and broke into a cold sweat.
“Why would I doubt you? The bastard who doubts the loyalty of the Viscount Rothschild is a spy and a traitor.”
“Although I value self-interest in my personal life, I have never once sought self-interest when carrying out work for the Tuscan Empire. Look at the food the soldiers are eating now. Do you think there will be any net profit? In addition, the soldiers must be having a hard time serving, so they are given expensive, sugary snacks every three days to give them strength while eating something delicious. This is for the entire army.”
“...... Who doesn’t know that? However, I just developed a ‘bad habit’ while performing my duties as the Minister of Finance of the Tuscan Empire. I will apologize to you.”
