Give money to that kid?

Shook his head.

No need, that kid holds a 30% stake in the pharmaceutical production plant, and has recently earned more than 3 million gold coins. I am also a local tyrant and don't need monetary rewards.

beauty?

Would you like to give a girl or a royal girl to be the daughter-in-law of the boy and hold the boy with a beautiful woman?

King James moved this idea and consulted the boy's opinion. He did not expect the boy to be interested. One said that he was young and his parents were not around. Without the blessing of his parents, he did not want to get married.

"That kid means, wish me to forgive his family?"

King James understood Lei Lin's meaning. King James himself had this idea. At the recent court meeting, he mentioned this issue many times, and he also received the support of a group of nobles. They all believed that Lei Lin should be pardoned. Family ... At the first court meeting, King James had a voice to support him.

but……

These voices are too weak for the time being.

The three princes controlled most of the aristocratic power. With the joint opposition of the three princes, King James's pardon proposal was still not passed.

At least for now, pardoning the Leiling family is not very realistic, unless the "loyal party" forces are stronger.

Don't consider it for the time being.

"There can only be one official and knighthood. Let his identity be promoted from a civilian to a noble." Roberts said.

King James nodded and granted the Lord, this is where the king ’s power lies, and whether it is a duke, a marquis, an earl, a viscount, a baron, all levels of knights, the king can be divided, and unlike the low-level noble Not to mention the restrictions, the granting of higher ranks requires the permission of the nobles of the higher ranks.

The king is not limited, as long as the reason is justified, the king can grant the title almost indefinitely.

"What title should the boy be awarded? Earl or Viscount?"

King James asked, with the credit of that kid, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to give a duke, 10 million gold coins, if anyone can send so many gold coins to the royal family, give him a duke, it is really not an exaggeration.

"Let's give a viscount. The title given to him is too high. What credit will he give next time, and what should the royal family reward him?"

Roberts said that there was a slight hunch in his heart: with the boy's ability, he would not be limited to setting up a pharmaceutical production plant, he might also do some big things.

"Viscount?"

King James hesitated, "Is the reward a little light, is it a field viscount or a landless viscount?"

Field viscounts refer to viscounts with fiefs, and landless visses naturally refer to visses without fiefs. The two are very different.

"Except for the swamp in the south, there is land in the kingdom that can be sealed, and it can only be a viscount without land."

"This ... the reward is too light, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this loophole and take the kid away!"

King James was a bit hesitant. He was usually a relatively stingy person, but he had some basic political wisdom. The rewards were too light, and the heroes were dissatisfied.

"Then give him a larger official position."

"What official position?"

"Kingdom Finance Director."

"Next to Gong Xiang ’s chief financial officer, how can he be sealed, did he succeed?"

"I don't know. The kid told me that as long as he gave him the position of financial manager, he could keep the royal family from being short of money."

"What did the kid say?"

King James' eyes widened and he felt incredible.

Feelings he was so irritated that the kid had already settled his reward for him, and also aimed at the high position-the financial manager.

Should I give him this position?

"Let the royal family never be starved of money, if he can really do this, the position of the financial manager is not that he cannot be allowed to do a few days ..."

King James's mind became alive.

And he also feels that the current financial director, Lao Fude, is really too old. Not only does he always say that the treasury has no money, but he often reaches into the royal treasury and asks the king to reach out for money. Recently he heard that the royal family made money. After a large sum of money, the opening mouth will be 3 million gold coins, thinking that the royal family's money is like a strong wind.

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

...

the next day.

Zhou Ming was called into the royal palace and participated in today's court meeting.

At this meeting, King James announced the reward for him: the title of his viscount was granted, and he was encouraged to make persistent efforts.

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

The three Dukes and their surrounding party leaders, although they all had some vulgar words in their hearts, but a landless Viscount, had not crossed the line in their hearts, so he said nothing.

Duke Rudolph even moved in his heart. The king's award was so light. Presumably the boy was unhappy. Doesn't he have a chance to take advantage of it?

After he decided to go back, he sent someone to send him an invitation and talked to the kid again, saying something bad about the king, and drawing the kid to the past ... estimated to be 50% to 60% successful.

However, the next two things King James announced, Duke Rudolph's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, his mind was swept away.

First of all, King James fired the squid of finance manager Lao Fude. The reason was that the Kingdom ’s finances had been losing money for many years. There must be a major problem. Lao Fude could not blame him. But when he was old, he was allowed to resign.

Then it was announced that the newly promoted Viscount, Viscount Lemorton Leilin, would serve as the new Kingdom's Financial Director, rectify the Kingdom's finances, and resolve increasingly serious financial problems.

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

Not bad!

King James is going to give the kid some problems ... in return for his careful calculations.

You have to know that for nearly 40 years, the chief financial officer, Old Ford (longer than King James ’s reign), is not a good person to provoke. He is even the second in the kingdom, except the Duke Rudolph The spitting man who sprayed the king.

Now that the king has fired his squid and replaced him with a 17-year-old kid, how can Oldford endure?

Even within two seconds after the king's appointment decision was announced, Oldford exploded.

Like the angry male lion, three steps and two steps, rushed in front of Zhou Ming, raised the cane in his hand, and directly wanted to hit someone.

"What are you doing?"

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

"It's you who hits!"

Oldford's eyes were red, and his chest was violently up and down: "I have worked hard for decades to work for the kingdom, demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, and finally maintained this kingdom. Without me, oldford, the kingdom would be over!"

"What is your **** boy? Don't you just build a factory and help the king earn some money? Do you have my contribution? Do you know how much effort I have paid? You **** boy, I will kill you ! "

Old Ford thought more and more angry, dropped his cane, brandished his old fist, and beat him against Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Ford played well!"

Duke Rudolph shouted loudly, even wanting to come forward to help, and punched him in the boy.

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

"enough!"

Zhou Ming shouted and stopped the old Ladford who lost his sense.

Pointed at him:

"Old Ford, I sent someone to evaluate the value of your property, about 10 million gold coins. Everyone knows that you are a famous miser. There are only four old servants in the family who ca n’t bear to eat or wear. The salary is monthly. Just 1800 gold coins, how do you get all kinds of treasure worth 8 million gold coins hidden in the cellar of your castle? The three frontier legions of the Kingdom, more than 1 million stone per year of grain, 50,000 stone sand and 5 What's the matter with Wan Shi's wood chips? Don't let me say more? "

He said to Old Ford, whose face had changed so much: "After returning, recruit a few more warriors in the nursing home. There is no guard. Do you really think that others cannot find your treasure?"

Boom ~

Hearing Zhou Ming's breaking news, everyone was taken aback, and his eyes looked at Oldford.

Known as the poorest of the nobles, the kingdom guards the wealthy slaves, and devotes his life to the kingdom of Old Ford, is it actually a big rat?

This is too surprising, right?

King James even looked ugly and asked, "Ford, do you really have 8 million treasures in your house?"

He feels unbelievable. All the officials in the court, he has never believed, only believes in Old Ford, and often rewards some property and servants to ask him to improve his life. Old Ford all took it back to subsidize the treasury. He I was moved a few times ... but I did n’t expect that Old Ford has been acting, and his family has hidden 8 million!

"No! Really not!"

Old Ford knelt down and pointed to Zhou Ming: "Your Majesty, this kid is wronging me!"

Zhou Ming held his hands and said: "Mr. Old Ford, please retreat a little bit decently, don't force me to continue breaking the news."

He said to King James again, "Your Majesty, you do n’t have to pursue Mr. Old Ford anymore. The only thing he is greedy for is small money. Do n’t worry too much. Let him retire safely.

Everyone stared at King James again to see what he decided?

If the king is determined to investigate, send a team of soldiers to Oldford ’s house, and 8 million treasures will be available.

If the king misses old feelings and puts Oldford on his horse, Oldford, who is over 90 years old, can live well in his later years.

King James's complexion changed for a while.

Looking at Old Ford, who shouted injustice and shivered on his knees, he was very sure that the boy Lei Lin said was true.

After a second thought, he waved angrily: "Let's go!"

Old Ford was forgiven, and he was helped to leave the palace.

Now everyone's eyes on Zhou Ming are different.

The same is true of King James.

A question arose in their hearts: How did the boy Lei Lin see through Earl Oldford, and how did his news come from?

Of course, Zhou Ming will not tell them, what are the characteristics of Shou Shou? What is the psychology of corrupt officials? What are the specific behaviors of big corrupt officials posing as clean officials? These things in the field of behavioral psychology, they do not understand.

In short, from the old fox, after learning the superstructure of the Kingdom of Abdul and the character of the main officials, Zhou Ming at first glance determined: Old Ford is a big rat!

Then I took a moment to go round at Oldford's house, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Today it just happened to come in handy.

Take Oldford off the stage.

but……

This does not mean that Zhou Ming will be able to take the position of the Kingdom's financial director.

The three dukes have not nodded yet.

And the partisans of the three Dukes who occupied most of the court officials did not nod.

Kingdom Finance Director, how can he get such a key and important position?

So in order to gain support, Zhou Ming said three other words:

"When I sit in the position of financial director ~ www.readwn.com ~ The salaries of all officials have all doubled!" The support rate increased to 50%.

"When I take the position of financial director, all the nobles of the sealed land need to pay the tax, all will be reduced by 50%!" The support rate increased to 80%.

"When I take the position of financial director, royal expenses will no longer be linked to the national treasury, and no more gold coins will be withdrawn from the national treasury!" The support rate increased to 100%.

This time there is only one opponent-King James, who originally proposed to make Zhou Ming the treasurer.

"No! Absolutely not, such a mess with my kingdom will mess up!"

but……

The King ’s objection was invalid. In the face of the strong support of all noble officials, 360-degree rolling support, and death-like support, King James could only hold his old face in red, watching the appointment in the cheers of the group officials by.

At the moment, King James really wanted to cut people.
