The main source of the kings funds is [[settlement]] upkeep. The king will not grant funds to traders holding 50 silver or more.
Try this fix if your trader has not been receiving funds from the kingdom pool, and you have confirmed via Path of Knowledge that it's ratio is 0.0.
Buy 1 silver worth of player made items off the trader.
Sell back the player made items as as you bought.
If you are able to sell back all the player made items you bought, then the trader should have a ratio of around .50
of course if the trader is a citizen of a deed, then a portion of the coin you put on the trader will go into deed upkeep so you won't be able to get the full 1s back.
A ratio of at least .10 is needed to get funds off the kingdom pool.
Once a Trader's ratio has been corrected, it may take a few days or a server restart before the trader start acquiring coin off the kingdom pool. I'm not quite sure how often the mysterious figure visits the traders, buying random stuff off of them which replenishes some of the trader's coins from the kingdom pool.
This is speculative, however It seems I have been able to get 1 trader that was suffering from its 28 day ratio reset back in working condition. I won't make any guarantees this will work but if your trader hasn't been collecting any coin, a 1 silver investment could pay off.
