What business knowledge do you have? (What kind of degree?) What do you do IRL? (Actuary, accountant, etc.)
This is a very bold declaration. How are you going to back it up? It's one thing to desire power, but I very much doubt people will just give you that much influence.
I think it would be easier and cheaper to just be part of either a traders guild or be a merchant for a bandit guild. Since it will be pretty hard to have the heavy "weight" behind your words without people backing it up.
And going around founding everyone so that they will have your back, will most likely break your income. Specially in the beginning.
Good luck though.
Help me, i'm lost
I would really like to know how you plan to get such funding, and influence. Your practically threatening every Guild and Kingdom on the forum with this banter.
How in the worlds are you planning to be able to fund a war effort against an entire kingdom!? I wouldn't be able to imagine any traders or merchants wanting part of such a society you seem to be planning to build.
You might have better luck joining up with other merchants. You're currently tier 0 ie basic member. You'll find a number of other people are starting out on the merchant tier or higher ie have their own merchant wagons and potentially businesses to start with - they may offer a slightly faster route to greater wealth as a result.
A word to the wise though - it's a closed economy, not global, and many of the trades have inter dependencies. If you have visions of wracking up the prices of a good in a local area and controlling the market you're going to be in for a shock, and likely witness the collapse of your local supplier.
Have fun living in squallor.

why are you guys beating up the OP in a dead thread where the OP with his total of 18 posts clearly isn't pursuing this anymore?
or at least if he is, he is doing so discreetly

In my defense, what I do is not "Beating up" the OP. I was simply asking out of curiosity as I plan to make a sort of merchant Character myself and this post popped up mutliple times when I searched for Merchants, trade, and other likely tags. I was putting questions to his methods on how he was planning to achieve the goal, and by all means if he could do, then I'd be more than impressed.
However the way he puts it, didn't make me think he would be as successful as he might have/is hoped/Hoping. As much of what he wirtes is an indirect challenge or threat to guilds and kingdoms who might not trade with him, which is counter productive to the product he wishes to sell. Aswell as creating a bad reputation which would end up excluding other merchants to work with him, so that their trade wouldn't be affected.
So for my case it was a pure academical question on how he would plan or had planned to do it. If he had taken into account of the market he was gonna focus in, which audience he was targetting, if there had been done any TOWS-Model, or Pestel-Analysis to what he had presented, etc.
