After settling the family.

Zhou Ming’s focus on work is on another matter.

Recruiting mercenaries frantically and preparing for war with all their might.

Wars depend not only on people, but also on gold coins, but also on various materials.

For example, the food and meat eaten by personnel and horses.

For example, weapons that need to be consumed during the war,

and other logistical preparations.

In short, preparing for a large-scale war is a huge and systematic project.

And it is not something that ordinary people can do to complete all preparations within three months.

This preparation project can only be completed by the most outstanding people.

who?

It can only be Zhou Ming.

In the palace, King James and the noble ministers all looked at him in the same way when facing this task and when they wanted to elect a candidate.

Why him?

Is there no other excellent nobles who can do this job?

Maybe there is.

But everyone knows that it is impossible for anyone to copy the miracles created by this young financial manager.

Take Diluo Bank, which has many nobles in the company for example. Who can open an institution with a total deposit of more than 500 million gold coins in about a year, and has hundreds of branches in hundreds of kingdoms. In various businesses, facing millions of deposit users, and has almost no mistakes?

Secondly, who can do it? In just about half a year, paper money will be fully promoted in the Kingdom of Yadude and has high credibility. All the nobles love to exchange and use it, and are quickly becoming the most mainstream market circulating currency.

These things that ordinary people can do, but even think about whether they can do it or not, were all done in a short time by Zhou Ming, the kid.

And there are small loopholes, but never a fatal mistake has occurred.

Therefore, the task of "recruiting 100,000 mercenaries within three months" naturally fell on Zhou Ming's head.

It can be said that it is a place where everyone wants.

So Zhou Ming became extremely busy.

The king also gave him the greatest authority, and he could use almost any person he wanted.

As for the right to use the 20 million gold coins, he was handed over to him as soon as possible... Regarding this, Zhou Ming felt that King James was a thief, because the 20 million gold coins were just the expenses of hiring those mercenaries, not including the expenses of food and weapons. If all the expenses were added, the expenses of the entire war would be estimated to exceed 50 million gold coins.

But King James doesn't care. Anyway, the royal family has already taken out 20 million and completed the task. Zhou Ming will solve the remaining numbers himself.

Moreover, King James knew that when the boy Leilin didn't have enough money, he liked to post money by himself. He posted at least 5 million yuan in the past year, and he didn't say hello and IOUs, all of them were posted in vain. Of course, King James wanted to see how much money would this rich man in the kingdom post into it this time?

Zhou Ming quickly called King James.

"Your Majesty, I can supplement the part beyond the budget or use a bank loan from the treasury, but if you do only give out 20 million, I hope you will agree to my request."

“What are the requirements.”

"After the war is over, I will take all the right to distribute the spoils in my own hands." Zhou Ming said.

"Right to distribute loot?"

"Yes, after the war, I will give all the right to allocate these spoils, whether it is the seized property, the captured enemy army or the occupied land."

"this……"

King James was a little embarrassed. Could this kid mean: Can this defensive war still make profits?

But how many spoils can be obtained and how many enemy soldiers can be captured against the 500,000 people in the Soliu Kingdom?

Also occupy the other party's land?

How is this possible?

However, for some reason, King James asked: "What if I don't give you freedom to assign rights?"

"Then please ask the royal family to take out another 10 million." Zhou Ming said.

"Forget it, you can handle the spoils yourself."

King James shook his head suddenly, 10 million, how many good things can I buy? Even if the royal family can grit their teeth and get the money, after the war is over, I wonder if the total value of the spoils is worth 10 million?

In short, King James feels that once he takes out another 10 million, the royal family will definitely lose money.

So he delegated the right to distribute the spoils to Zhou Ming.

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhou Ming nodded.

However, the oral agreement was not good. Two days later, Zhou Ming brought a group of nobles and a "Stock Distribution Agreement" to King James and asked to sign it on it. In this way, the king would not be able to cheat if he wanted to cheat.

"You kid, don't even believe what I said?"

Looking at the agreement in front of him, King James was a little angry. This kid didn't believe in him and even made an inexplicable thing like an agreement.

"The agreement represents trust, and there are so many nobles here to witness... Your Majesty, please sign it." Zhou Ming held the agreement closer.

"snort!"

King James snorted, took the pen, and quickly signed the words.

After signing the name, King James suddenly discovered that the nobles brought by Leilin all had smiles on their faces...a smile that was as if the conspiracy had succeeded.

"What do you guys want to do?"

King James suddenly felt like he was kept in the dark, and even realized that it was not very good.

Two days later, King James received a report: There were about thirty nobles in the capital who were trying hard to raise money, mortgage fixed assets, summoned a large number of retainers and knights, and devoted themselves to the tense war preparations.

Among them, Duke Rudolph was the most active. Not only did he take out 8 million gold coins and hand them to Leilin, the 5,000 private troops of the Rudolph family were also mobilized to conduct intense training that was purgatory.

"Are these families crazy? Do they really believe Lei Lin's words and are ready to chew a piece of meat from the Soliu Kingdom?"

King James murmured to himself, not daring to imagine it.

...

On the other side.

Zhou Ming also arranged a lot of tasks for his family - the Leilin family.

For example, the eldest brother Roger and the third brother Jon were all arranged to serve as general positions, each leading about 1,000 soldiers.

Since her second sister, Xirui, was a woman, she entered the Rose Flower Legion (the only female legion in the kingdom, with an organization of about 1,000 people) and became a close companion to Princess Xiweinis.

As for his father Cohen, he arranged an extremely critical task for him—

Return to Heihe Town next to the black swamp, make every effort to mine oil, extract gasoline, diesel, kerosene for transportation machines... the more, the better. It is best to refine tens of thousands of tons to meet the flight needs of Hercules transport aircraft during the entire war.

In order to achieve this output, Zhou Ming will give him more than 5,000 manpower and a large number of mechanical equipment to complete the refining work.

"No matter how long this war lasts, the oil I provide you will ensure that it is 100% sufficient!"

Cohen Lelin swore that there is oil near the Black Swamp, and it is extremely easy to mine. As long as there is enough manpower, the output will be increased by ten or a hundred times, which is not a problem at all.

"good!"

Zhou Ming nodded. In order to save time, he drove Qianfeng No. 2 and sent his father Cohen to Heihe Town.

In addition, the Mainland Chamber of Commerce has also drawn a large number of personnel from various organizations and sent them to the Kingdom of Adude to increase the production of Hercules transport aircraft, and participated in this exciting war preparation operation that may bring about huge changes.

...

besides.

In the implementation of the "delay time" plan, the "fake princess" who played an important role, after searching among the people by a large number of people, finally found a woman in a remote village in the north of the kingdom.

A woman who looks 80% similar to Princess Chivenis after dressing up.

The woman's name is Isa, 23 years old, married, has two children, and her husband is an honest farmer.

When the baron of the place captured the woman in the capital and told her to carry out a glorious and great mission.

Isa was shocked.

Then he refused fiercely: "No, no, I am not Your Highness, I cannot pretend to be her. I can't read a word, and I may be killed!"

It happened that Isha's husband, with his two children, rushed to the capital, stood on the street and shouted for justice, yelling to let his wife go. Whenever he saw a nobleman, he would kneel down, hoping that the kind-hearted other party would help... This young farmer named "Gary" loved his wife Isha deeply.

In order to prevent the matter from getting worse, Gary was arrested by the city defense patrol and together with the two and a half-old children, he was sent to prison.

In order to force Isha to submit, the nobleman in charge of this matter threatened the lives of her husband and two children, saying that if she did not agree, she would kill her husband and children!

But unexpectedly, Isa still refused.

"Kill me, you guys kill me! Don't make things difficult for my husband and children!"

Isa cried.

This matter finally came to Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming quickly intervened.
