"Hmm? This is a problem. Then we'll train their physical skills to be close to the foundation first. I'll think of a way to solve the rest. Who's in charge of finance here?”Lin Feng thought to himself for a moment before speaking to Yagyu Izumi. He then turned to the other ministers and asked.
"Sir, I am in charge of finances.”The middle-aged man whom Lin Feng suspected of having a problem with his intelligence stood up and spoke to Lin Feng.
"How much money and grain are there in the national treasury now?”When Lin Feng saw that it was that fellow, he frowned and asked. Clearly, Lin Feng was extremely dissatisfied with this fellow.
"Milord, because the Country of Wave is a poor country, there isn't much money and grain in the national treasury. There are only 35 million silver notes and two months 'worth of food for 50,000 people.”The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied with a glint in his eyes.
"So little? You better not lie to me. If I find out that you've understated one tael of money and one grain, I'll let you know what it's like to live a life worse than death.”When Lin Feng heard that there was only this much money and food, his first reaction was that this fellow was trying to fool him. Hence, he released a hint of killing intent and warned him. Thirty million taels might sound like a lot, but one had to know that this was the money of an entire country. Moreover, those ninjas could get tens of thousands of taels of silver for the lowest D-rank mission. How could Lin Feng not be suspicious?
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll continue to study it in detail after I return and report to Milord.”That middle-aged man immediately became obedient under Lin Feng's killing intent. Before this, he had indeed underreported. In his mind, only he knew how much money and grain there were in the national treasury. He didn't even know the name of the person in the national treasury. He thought that he would be able to bluff his way out this time and fill up his wallet a little. He didn't expect that he would encounter a fiend like Lin Feng. How could he still dare to have any other thoughts?
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, I'll chop you into meat paste and throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”Lin Feng coldly warned the officials present.
"Yes, yes..." The ministers nodded in agreement.
"Milord, the chief and deputy chief guards of the Daming Manor have arrived.”At this moment, Fujisasa Ichiro brought two middle-aged men over and spoke to Lin Feng.
"En, what are your names?”Lin Feng's Fujisasa Ichiro nodded and asked the two of them.
"Milord, I am called Koinutaro, the commander of the guards.”A middle-aged man with a full beard respectfully replied to Lin Feng. It was likely that on the way here, Fujisaichiro had already explained the matter to them. As for why they were so respectful to Lin Feng, only they themselves knew.
"Milord, I'm called Nobuya Saichi, the deputy commander of the guards.”Another experienced middle-aged man replied.
"En, Taro, Saichi, tell me now who you choose. Will you continue to stay as Kado's guard commander, or will you leave?”Lin Feng narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"Sir, we have chosen Sir Kado to be the guard commander.”The two of them replied without thinking.
"Alright, I don't care what you think in your hearts, but as long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly. Whether it's to help you increase your strength or to live a rich life, I can help you achieve it.”Lin Feng started to write checks for the two of them.
"Thank you, sir. I will do my best to serve you.”The two of them said excitedly.
This caused the person beside him to be stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would be able to control all of his powers so easily. One had to know that he had spent a lot of money to nurture these powers. Now, Lin Feng had subdued them with just a few words. How could he not be puzzled?
"This is the new name you will be protecting in the future.”Lin Feng pointed at Kado who was standing beside him as he spoke.
"Greetings, Lord Daimyo." The two of them hurriedly bowed to Kado. This was their future superior. How could they not curry favor with him?
"Yes." Kado nodded to the two of them in response. Don't look at how respectful Kado was to Lin Feng, he was still very arrogant towards the others.
"Alright, the two of you go and gather the guards in front of the meeting hall and let them know the new name Kado.”Lin Feng instructed when he saw that they were acquainted.
"Yes, my lord." The two of them responded and left the hall.
"Kado, I've already done what you need to do. You're on your own now. When you're done here, come find me in the bedroom. I have some things I need you to do.”After Lin Feng saw that there was nothing for him to do here, he said a few words to Kado and led the six ninjas out of the conference hall towards the sleeping quarters. When Lin Feng was waiting for Kado and the others, he learned about the location of the sleeping quarters from Yagyu Izumi and the others. It was located at the back of the conference hall.
"Yes, my lord." Kado respectfully replied to the departing Lin Feng.
"Ichiro, Iken, do you know any Panjin?”Lin Feng asked after leaving the conference hall.
"Sir, I know a few bounty hunters. They are all quite strong and have the strength of a Jounin or above.”Fujisaichiro replied.
"Milord, I know a few Senin as well, but they aren't very strong.”Ichiken Yagyu immediately replied.
"Then can you gather them to work for me?”Lin Feng asked.
"Milord, this is not difficult. As long as Milord can let them live a stable life, it is not a problem for them to work for you.”Fujisaichiro replied.
"Oh, why is that?" Lin Feng curiously asked.
" For the Panjin and the wandering ninjas, having a stable home is what they want. After all, the weak Panjin has to live in fear all the time.”Yagyu Izumi replied, and his expression became tired as he spoke.
" Mhm, that's not difficult. I plan to form a Ninja Village, so you guys won't have to worry about being hunted down. Besides, we're currently at war. When the war ends, the Ninja Villages will definitely suffer a great loss, so they won't lose their strength for you guys. By the time they come to their senses, our Ninja Village will have already grown. There's no need to be afraid of them.”Lin Feng patted Yagyu Izumi's shoulder and smiled.
"I swear my loyalty to my lord…" Yagyu Izumi and the others knelt down on one knee with excitement on their faces, swearing their loyalty to Lin Feng.
"Alright, get up. After we leave this Daming Island, the two of you will each take two people to gather more Senjin and Wandering Ninjas to strengthen our strength. Only then will we be safer in this chaotic world.”Lin Feng spoke to them before leading the way to the palace.
"Yes, my lord." Everyone nodded excitedly before hurriedly following after Lin Feng.
