Let me break the cycle
Your signature ended this inhumane law... A noble deed that will be remembered for generations, yet those unpaid taxes remain uncollectible all the same.

First: Don't owe the Sultan money
There are many good ideas to improve the people's lives, but if you violate the first principle, you will die.

First: Don't owe the Sultan money
The Vizier wrote this phrase on paper. Discussion ended.

Action:

This is a tiring debate
You exhaust all efforts to persuade the Vizier. You make many promises, most about deficits, perhaps you frantically speak about resolving them later, but, after all, the faraway poor would no longer be captured as slaves.

Result:

Action:

The Vizier is stubborn.
You speak for a long time, but eventually, the Vizier just sips his tea lightly and make arrangements according to his own wishes. It’s truly incomprehensible why this old crone invites you to help with paperwork, as you two hardly reach any agreements, he seems entirely to enjoy these disputes – and the mastery within the disputes.

Die! You mangy old dog!
In the astonished gaze of the Vizier, you see relief, is this the truth behind inviting you to work together? He knows that one day, you will draw a golden Bloodshed Card, and you will use it on the most detestable elder...

Now, he lies peacefully in a pool of blood, leaving all the remnants of this empire, mainly pressure and excrement, to you.

The Sultan, upon hearing the news, chucks lightly – not with carnality's abandon, but with a rare surprise of being freed from trouble.

After this, all governmental documents are handed over to you for review, with no one left to oppose you... he arranges it meaningfully.
