"Indeed so, Your Majesty!" Mane answered truthfully.
Afterwards, he paused for a moment and then continued, "However, I believe last year's fiscal expenditure does not represent the overall state of our nation's finances.
Because last year's goal of the Empire was to maintain the employment rate.
Therefore, concessions had to be made at many times!
As the Empire's economic system gradually detached from a state of war, the employment rate also tended toward stability.
So, I can assert that the Empire's fiscal revenue this year will inevitably be better than last year, and the situation of revenue exceeding expenditure will also inevitably change!"
As soon as Minister Mane finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte immediately began to applaud Minister Mane.
Seeing this, the ministers of each department and the provincial governors (the meeting only invited Baron Haussman, the Governor of Seine Province) also applauded Mane.
Upon seeing this, Mane hurriedly bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.
