Ornate and luxurious, the throne room gleams with gold and precious jewels. Priceless paintings of past kings line the sides. Underneath a vaulted ceiling, a regal red carpet connects the throne room's entrance to the golden throne itself.

I am very educated on different economic factors. Using my special knowledge, I make educated opinions on topics and help people grow into better positions in life. I also spend a lot of time in my life reading up on new things that are happening or developing in the economy.
Well looking around this gaudy room, I'm not sure much assistance is needed, he seems richer than our struggling economy would dictate That is the perk of being king, I suppose. His thirst for wealth is never quenched.  And what brings you here? Perhaps another wing is needed for this lavish castle? I can to discuss my plans to build a ship for the king. A ship!? How fun. Let us hope that he isn't spreading his borders too thin. With the cost of grain growing, soon people like you and I won't be able to eat! My plans are quite ambitious. I've decided the ship will be big enough to house the whole village!  How interesting.. and what is the plan for this ship? I read that wood is becoming more pricey, perhaps the jester may be better equipped to handle this folly Perhaps that is why the king called you. To discuss raising taxes on the entire village to fund this ship! Ahh it all starts to make sense. Whilst raising taxes may seem like the obvious path, I'm not sure the peasants will agree. I hope he can afford the extra guards needed to quell the unrest. What are your thoughts on this plan? As long as I get to build my ship, I couldn't care less. Who am I to question the king's judgement?  You are a simple man I suppose. Concerned only for yourself whilst ignoring the bigger picture. I envy you in a way As long as I get paid, that's all that matters. And the king has promised me a very healthy sum for completing this ship!
