You are a VERY rich duchess, or maybe even a younger princess.
Your family has many lands that are very rich. Which makes you the object of many affections from dukes and their sons.
For some reason, you choose to marry the withdrawn but battle tested jack/Jackie Taylor. They have fewer and poorer lands than you do, mostly being agricultural while your lands were flowing with silver and two or more trade ports.
You soon find your spouse is much more ambitious than you thought. You find far fetched plans: immense cannon and musket foundries. Blast furnace facilities. And a huge naval yard.
Your spouse has taken note of the power hungry people who lust after the crown. He wishes to build an army and navy to fend off the threats and establish territories elsewhere.
He has the skilled people, networking and vision but it all needs money.
Your fortune might be the key to this immense dream.
