After I said this, a group of vampire officers from Sylvania responded and then went to do things. I also temporarily put this matter behind my mind. Soon, the Minister of Arms planned a detailed transformation and production plan according to my instructions to act according to this plan.

In the end, more than a dozen arsenals in the empire will be integrated into five large military systems of varying sizes. One artillery production factory, one automatic rifle, light and heavy machine gun, flamethrower, blasting device, grenade, mine, bazooka and other individual weapons production factories, one ghost scorpion mantis and armored vehicles, special combat vehicles, one personnel, namely the undead soldier production factory, and one new weapon production factory, including the Crimson Dragon and the new Air Force Metal Dove.

These five production plants will be together with the Iron Train Factory in the province of Sylvania, the three shipyards in the Marina County, and a gun factory and a chariot factory built with original machinery on the land of the Dwarf Kingdom of the Endless Mountains and the Chaos Dwarf Kingdom of the Kingdom of Chaos. The five production plants will dominate the armed train factory in Sylvania for a long time to come.

Elvia's plan is to modify, renovate and integrate all mechanical equipment within half a year, and then produce the most basic configurations within one to two years. In the next five years, all the equipment of sixty divisions will be completed. Then, five years will be spent to upgrade the industry. In these ten years, the military industrial system of the entire Sylvanian Empire will be completed.

I carefully reviewed this plan and there were no loopholes or flaws at all. That guy Alvia is worthy of being the leader of the Lamiya family, and the Lamiya family's talent in economic production is indeed not a mess.

But soon, the proposal was opposed by another leader from the Lamiya family.

The day after the resolution was passed, Louise came to me. It is very likely that because of the length, it did not appear for a long time. Many people have forgotten this character. So this is also a very sad thing. Originally, this character occupied a lot of scenes in this drama. But in the end, it became like this because of congenital deficiencies and acquired disorders... Of course, this is definitely not my fault.

I looked at this woman who almost became my wife with a expressionless face.

"This plan is completely absurd and cannot be implemented at all." She said to me straight to the point. In a tone of business, I felt relieved, and a little uneasy and guilty. Of course, the mainstream is the uneasy and guilty. Uneasy and guilt will soon disappear. It probably disappeared during dinner.

"I have read this plan and approved it." I told her like this. The meaning was basically to let her not argue. This matter was approved by me, the emperor. You little fish and shrimps below should not have any other feelings except for agreeing. Just do it as I told you.

"Then this proves that His Majesty the Emperor of Sylvania, the leader of the Blood Brotherhood, is an absolute fool." She replied without any weakness. It sounded like she had no intention of giving in and compromising.

"Well, at least give me a reason to tell me the past." I raised my eyebrows and asked dissatisfiedly.

"It's very simple. Judging from the current economic situation in Sylvania, we have no financial resources to support this round of military reforms. Whether it is upgrading and renovating the existing arsenal or creating a large number of equipment from sixty divisions, it is not something the empire's economy can bear." She said this as if she was telling the facts. It sounded quite like this. But she seemed to think it was not enough. So she added:

"Of course, it's not impossible if your Majesty, you really insist on promoting this plan. It's just that we must raise the tax rate by another 50 percentage points, or suspend the work of several other projects of the Empire. For example, the construction plan of the new capital of the Empire, the new shipbuilding plan of the Navy and the construction of the North-South Line of the Empire. As long as two of these three are suspended, we can barely raise the money."

Of course, this guy just said something casually and emphasized. She knew that all these projects could not be stopped and must be completed. In this relatively peaceful inland environment, restoration, development and improvement of the economy are the most important things.

"Is there no good way? By the way, aren't we currently implementing currency reform? How is that going?" I asked, hoping to get some good news.

"I'm afraid it's not possible now. Although the occupied areas of the empire have basically stabilized, you will definitely not know what kind of virtues the officials of the previous dynasty, farmers and feudal nobles were. They obey us on the surface, but secretly compete with us for the power of the local government. At present, it is difficult for us to even achieve unified currency, let alone reform the currency value."

"Unified currency? Isn't the precious metal currency of Lar gold, silver and copper that is currently popular in the empire?" I was very surprised and strange when I heard her say this. So I asked.

"It's very regrettable, maybe it was indeed the case before this war. But halfway through the war, after the defeat of the Sigma Empire gradually emerged, the monetary system of the old world began to collapse." Louise said to me helplessly: "In order to raise funds, the financial officials of the Sigma Empire issued large quantities of bad currencies with extremely low gold and silver ratios, as well as some brittle copper plates that can be easily broken and even blown away by strong winds. And forcibly used administrative orders to stipulate that the value of these currencies is equal to the originally popular gold, silver and copper lars. This is the first round.

Then there was the second round, before and after the empire launched an attack on the Sigma Empire, neither the Sigma Empire nor our country had enough ability and energy to manage this system. Therefore, local nobles and merchants took advantage of the chaos to make a fortune. Those bastards who had power and had some minerals in the empire got the right to mint coins in this situation. The slag currency they minted was even worse than the emergency currency issued by the Sigma Empire. Some currencies even had gold and silver content less than one-tenth of the silver."

"That's really bad..." After she said this, I suddenly realized something, and was shocked at the time: "What you mean is that because those bastards force the people under their management to use these bad coins. So if we want to carry out currency reform, we cannot exchange them according to their actual value, but instead use the nominal value to exchange for these things, right?"

"This is exactly the difficulty we face." Louise said this, and her voice was quite helpless: "If we exchange it according to the actual value, it would undoubtedly be a great economic plunder for those who are using chaotic bad money. This would make the economic situation that was already bad because of war. It is completely unknown what the people who were already traumatized by the economic plunder of nobles and wealthy merchants and the war would do because of this kind of thing."

"And if we exchange it according to the actual value of these currencies, we will bear a very serious economic burden and become even more serious."

"So what is the more serious result?"

"The best result is an extremely serious deficit, an economic crisis, and then a massive unrest. The worst result is a government bankruptcy. Then the whole old world becomes a mess again."

"That's really a bad situation." I sighed: "So no matter how we do it, the ones who benefited are those bastards, nobles and merchants. Those who lose the benefits are either our empire or civilians. That's right?"

"It is true. In fact, from my point of view, this may be the biggest conflict between us and the traditional feudal aristocracy and the old bureaucrats. It is even greater than our contradiction in administrative power."

Administrative power or economic interests... Let's not mention which of these two is more important. However, this is indeed a very difficult and very important question. Indeed, just as Louise said. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult to start any major project with the messy financial situation of the empire. In fact, with the current crippled financial situation, this woman can still support her until now, and even provide financial support for the two major projects of refugees, reconstruction after the war, and the construction of new capitals and the construction of north-south main roads. This is a miracle in any case.

"It's hard for you." I sincerely expressed my gratitude to her. This made Louise's face slightly red. Of course it was just a little bit. And I don't think this level could be considered to increase favorability. It's just an ordinary boss' condolences and praises to his capable subordinates. Of course, the word "capable" has no other meaning. That's it.

"Then next, I know what we should do. You go down and prepare the currency reform. At the latest, I will solve these things." I said to Louise. I ended my conversation with her. From beginning to end, I was doing business. I did business and had no personal relationship at all.

"Yes, then I'm leaving, Your Majesty." Louise nodded and turned around without hesitation to leave. It was the moment she turned around and left that I saw a trace of tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

So this is my fault?!

Of course it is impossible.
