Give that kid money?

Shake his head.

There is no need for that kid holds 30% of the shares of the pharmacy manufacturer and has earned more than 3 million gold coins recently. He is a rich man and does not need any money to reward him.

beauty?

How about giving a concubine or royal daughter to be a wife to that boy, and using a beauty to trap that boy?

King James had tried this idea and asked the boy for advice. Unexpectedly, the boy was not interested and said that he was still young and his parents were not around and could not receive blessings from his parents, so he didn't want to get married yet.

"What the boy meant is...I hope I pardon his family?"

King James understood what Leilin meant, and he had this idea himself. At the recent court meeting, he mentioned this issue many times, and received the support of a group of nobles, and believed that the Leilin family should be pardoned... At the court meeting, King James had some support for him for the first time.

but……

These sounds are still too weak for the time being.

The three great dukes controlled most of the noble power. Under the joint opposition of the three great dukes, King James' proposal for pardon was still not approved.

At least for the moment, pardoning the Leilin family is not very realistic, unless the power of the "Loyal King Party" is stronger.

I don’t have to think about giving away a beauty for the time being.

"He can only be granted an official position and title, and his status will be promoted from a civilian to a nobleman," Roberts suggested.

King James nodded and granted the Lord. This is where the king's power lies. Whether it is a duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron, or titles of all levels, the king can divide the titles. Unlike the nobles of the lower level, not only if they are restricted, granting titles of higher levels requires permission from the nobles of the higher level.

The king is not restricted, and as long as the reason is just, the king can grant titles almost infinitely.

"What title should that kid be awarded? Earl or Viscount?"

King James asked, it would be no exaggeration to give a duke with the kid's credit. It would be 10 million gold coins. If anyone could send so many gold coins to the royal family, it would be no exaggeration to give him a duke.

"Please give him a viscount. The title he gives him is too high. What will he make contributions next time? What reward should the royal family give him?"

Roberts said, and he had a vague premonition in his heart: With that kid's ability, it would not be limited to setting up a pharmaceutical manufacturer, he might do some big things.

"Vissoc?"

King James hesitated a little, "Is this reward a little light? Is it to him a viscount in real ground or a viscount without ground?"

The real viscount refers to a viscount with a fiefdom, and the unearthed viscount naturally refers to a viscount without a fiefdom. The two are very different.

"Apart from the swamp in the south, there is land to be enfeoffed in the kingdom, and it can only be a landless viscount."

"This... the reward is too light, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to win over that kid away!"

King James was a little hesitant. He was usually a stingy person, but he had basic political wisdom. The reward was too light and the heroes were dissatisfied. Someone would definitely take advantage of the situation.

"Then give him another big official position."

"What official position?"

"Kingdom Finance Manager."

"How can he be awarded the title of a high-ranking official to the Palace Prime Minister? Can he do it?"

"I don't know, that boy told me that as long as he gives him the position of the financial manager, he can keep the royal family from being short of money."

"What did that guy say?"

King James' eyes widened and felt incredible.

He was in vain for love. The boy had already set his reward for him and even set his sights on the high position - the head of the finance manager.

Should I give him this position?

"If he can do this, the position of the financial manager will not be able to do it for a few days..."

King James's mind became alive.

He also felt that Lao Fude, the current financial manager, was too old. Not only did he always say that the treasury had no money, but he often reached into the royal family's inner treasury and asked the king for money. Recently, he heard that after the royal family made a lot of money, he asked for 3 million gold coins and thought that the royal family's money was blown by the strong wind.

Thinking of this, King James decided: Let Lao Fude be laid off first!

...

the next day.

Zhou Ming was summoned to the palace and attended today's palace meeting.

At this meeting, King James announced his reward: to grant him the title of viscount, and encouraged him to continue his efforts.

Many nobles expressed their support for the king's decision and congratulated Zhou Ming.

Although the three dukes and their surrounding gangs had complaints in their hearts, a viscount without earth had not crossed the line in their hearts, so they didn't say anything.

Duke Rudolf even felt aroused. The king's reward was so light that the boy must be unhappy. Wouldn't he have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

After he decided to go back, he sent someone to send an invitation, talk to the kid again, say something bad about the king, and win over the kid... It is estimated that 50% or 60% of the kid will be successful.

However, Duke Rudolph's eyes, whose originally narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and his mind was completely wiped out.

First, King James fired the squid of the financial manager Lao Fude, on the grounds that the kingdom's finances have been deficit for years and there must be major problems. Lao Fude cannot be blamed, but because of his old age, he allowed him to resign.

Then it was announced that the new Viscount Lemoton Reilin, Viscount Lemoton Reilin, would take office as the financial director of the new kingdom, rectify the finances of the kingdom and solve the increasingly serious financial problems.

Then, King James squinted his eyes and began to watch the show.

good!

King James is preparing to give the boy some difficult problems...return his careful calculations.

You should know that Lao Fude, the chief financial officer who has worked for nearly forty years (more than King James was in power), is not a person who is easy to provoke. He is even the second person in the kingdom, except Duke Rudolph, who dares to spit the king's face full of spitting.

Now that the king has fired his squid and appointed a 17-year-old boy to replace him, how can Lao Fude bear it?

Even less than two seconds after the king's appointment decision was announced, Old Ford exploded.

Just like an angry male lion, taking two steps at a time, rushed to Zhou Ming, raised the crutch in his hand, and wanted to hit someone directly.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Ming grabbed the end of his crutch and looked puzzled: "Why did you hit someone?"

"It's you who beat me!"

Lao Fude's eyes were red and his chest was fluttering violently: "I worked hard for the kingdom for decades, demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall. I finally maintained this kingdom. Without me Lao Fude, this kingdom would have been over!"

"What's your bastard guy? You just set up a factory and helped the king make some money. Do you have a great contribution to me? Do you know how much effort I have put in? You bastard guy, I'll beat you to death!"

The more Lao Fude thought about it, he became more angry. He threw down his crutch, waved his old fist, and beat Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Ford played well!"

Duke Rudolph applauded loudly, and even wanted to come forward to help, he punched the boy twice.

At the palace meeting, it suddenly became extremely chaotic, like a farce.

"Enough!"

Zhou Ming roared and stopped the old blessing that had lost his mind.

Pointing at him and said:

"Old Fude, I have sent someone to evaluate the value of your property under your name. It is about 10 million gold coins. Everyone knows that you are a famous miser. There are only four old servants in your family. You are reluctant to eat and wear. Your salary is only 1,800 gold coins per month. How did the various treasures worth 8 million gold coins hidden in your castle cellar come from? The three border guards of the Kingdom, more than 1 million stones of grain per year, and what happened to the 50,000 stone of sand and 50,000 stone of wood chips mixed in? No need to let me say more, right?"

He said to Lao Fude, whose face changed drastically: "After going back, hire a few more warriors who guard the house, there is not a single guard. Do you really think others can't find your treasure?"

Boom ~

Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhou Ming’s revelation and looked at Lao Fude.

He is known as the poorest among the nobles, a rich slave in the kingdom and devotes his whole life to the kingdom, but is actually a big rat?

Is this too surprising?

King James asked even more ugly, "Fude, do you really have 8 million treasures hidden in your home?"

He felt unbelievable. He had not believed any of the officials in the palace for a long time. He only believed in Lao Fude. He often rewarded some property and servants, asking him to improve his life. Lao Fude took it back to subsidize the national treasury. He was moved several times... But he didn't expect that Lao Fude had been acting and had 8 million hidden in his house!

"No! Really no!"

Lao Fude knelt down and pointed at Zhou Ming: "Your Majesty, this kid is wronging me!"

Zhou Ming hugged his hands and said, "Mr. Lao Fude, please step down with a decent look, don't force me to continue to leak the news."

He said to King James again: "Your Majesty, you don't have to pursue Mr. Old Ford anymore. The little he greedy is just a small amount of money. Don't worry too much, let him retire safely."

Everyone stared at King James again to see what decision he made?

If the king is determined to investigate, send a team of soldiers to Lao Fude's house and get 8 million treasures.

If the king is nostalgic and lets his old fortune be full of blessings, he can live his old life well if he is over 90 years old.

King James's face changed for a while.

Looking at Lao Fude who was trembling on the knees and shouting for justice, he was almost sure that what the boy Leilin said was true.

After thinking about it again, he waved his hand irritably: "You go!"

Old Fortune was like a general amnesty and was helped to leave the palace.
