Who was the principal minister and advisor to Louis in his youth?
Cardinal Mazarin, Louis's godfather, served as Lois XIV's chief minister in his youth. Cardinal Mazarin was unpopular in France, and his policies led to several years of civil disturbances called the Fronde. Twice Mazarin had to flee from Paris, but finally in 1653 he put down the Fronde. Its failure strengthened the king's authority over the nobles. When Mazarin died in 1661, Louis declared that he would be his own chief minister. He had received a thorough education for kingship. Mazarin had taught him to choose wise counselors. The greatest of Louis's ministers was Jean Baptiste Colbert. Colbert reorganized French finance and promoted economy and industry. Hope I helped :)

What did Jean baptist Colbert do as finance minster in France?
As finance minister of France from 1664-1683 under the reign of Louis XIV, Jean-Baptiste Colbert significantly tightened the process of tax collection. He tried to eliminate tax farming (tax farming allowed collection agents to retain for themselves a fraction of the taxes they gathered). In 1664 (when Colbert assumed office), only 25% of the taxes collected in France reached the treasury. When he died in 1683, 80% of the taxes reached the treasury. In addition to this, Colbert tried to increase the nation's income through regulations and control of France's foreign trade. Colbert was a steadfast mercantilist and believed that France's wealth would increase if imports were reduced and exports increased. To enforce this idea, he imposed tariffs on foreign imports into France and used state money to promote domestic manufacture of imported goods, like glass, tapestries, lace, and silk. As another way to advocate domestic trade, Colbert improved France's waterways, bridges, and roads.
