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.

king
economist
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.
Yes your majesty...how may I be of service? Tell me how I may expand my wealth.  Well your majesty you have been doing quite well. I have heard of treasure that a pirate boat left on our shore.  I think it is speculation but it may be worth sending the guard to check. Very good! My thirst for riches is never-ending!  Your highness...you have heard that the King to our north has amassed quite a fortune and they have a daughter who is of age to wed. It may be to your advantage to wed your son to her and acquire her dowry. That is an ingenious idea, my good man! This is exactly the reason you're my chief economist.  I am happy to be of service your majesty.  I am always at your beck and call. Tell me about the financial situation in the villages. Can I raise their taxes even higher without a revolt happening?  Their crops are good and their children are strong. I believe you could raise their taxes with little up rise.  There will always be a few trouble makes your majesty. That is good news. Taxes are the quickest and simplest way to fill my coffers.  Yes...perhaps a Royal Fair for the people would be in order just as the taxes are announced. You will make more in the taxes than you would ever send on the fair.   Excellent idea. One other notion I had. What if I reduced the salaries of the workers in the castle?
