The prince of the Midsummer Islands stood up, his skin was as dark as night, he showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, his head was decorated with colorful feathers, and he was dressed in a feather skirt that mopped the floor: "Your Majesty, the peoples of the Midsummer Islands have difficulty accepting paper money, they cannot understand it at all......"

"Well, I'll be the first to set up a branch of the Cregan Bank in the Midsummer Islands. The paper money trade began with the royal family, then the nobles, the generals and soldiers, and finally the whole people, and in half a year, I wanted paper money to be circulated everywhere in the Midsummer Islands. In the name of the gods, I know that my people will thank me for creating paper money. After trying to use it, they will find that the exchange is very convenient, it is more convenient to carry, and they no longer have to worry about the fights and disputes caused by the different patterns and sizes of gold and silver coins and iron coins. ”

"Your Royal Highness, if you come to King's Landing, you can take out the banknotes from your pocket and buy anything. The same goes for you when you get to Slave Bay. In the traditional transaction, each country has its own different monetary system, and the exchange and calculation are very complex and difficult, requiring special bachelors, doctors or scholars to calculate, but it is also difficult to ensure fairness; in order to reduce friction and disputes, cross-sea and transnational transactions usually use large ships loaded with goods for barter, and once everyone uses the same currency, many troubles will disappear completely. ”

"Your Majesty, everyone thinks that the colorful paper is just paper ......"

"You're right, but when that paper can be exchanged for real money in the bank, it's not just any paper. If you can buy Qingting Island wine in Westeros, animal skins and bacon at the Great Wall, then it's not paper. ”

The prince's mouth was open and his throat was squirming, but no clear sound came out.

He didn't know how to express the awkward emptiness and emptiness in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, have you heard of the Iron Vault?" asked Demon Mountain.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"The iron vault is in my hand, and every banknote is linked to the gold in the iron vault. For every banknote issued, a corresponding gold coin is stored in the bank. ”

The prince, who was as dark as the night, looked confused.

The little devil stood up: "Your Royal Highness, there is a lot of gold in the Iron Vault, and it is guaranteed that your banknotes can be exchanged for gold at any time, His Majesty the King is worried that the Midsummer Islands are too far away from the Iron Vault, so let the Iron Vault set up an exchange point in the Midsummer Islands." Any noble, a citizen, who wants to trade, first go to the iron vault exchange point to exchange their gold for paper money, and after the transaction is completed, if you are not at ease, you can go to the exchange point to exchange it for gold at any time. The Midsummer Islands wanted to buy hundreds of boxes of Qingting Island wine, and in the past, they needed several large boxes of gold and silver coins, but now they only need to take a stack of banknotes. You can distrust the exchange points, but the honor of the Iron Vault is not to be desecrated. ”

The prince who designed the labyrinth stood up: "Your Royal Highness, I designed the labyrinth on the Iron Vault Island, and the Labyrinth occupies the entire island, this is to ensure the safety of the gold in the Iron Vault. What are you worried about in the name of the Iron Vault? The Iron Treasury is already the wealth of His Majesty the King. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I want a year. If, after a year, you still insist on not using paper money, I agree to restore your original monetary system. In the name of the gods and kings. In a year's time, all the paper money in your hands will be exchanged for gold in the iron vault at any time. ”

"Uh, well, Your Majesty. ”

Looking at the prince's blank expression, Magic Mountain thought that the prince of the Midsummer Islands might be illiterate, and Magic Mountain thought about it, and had to set up a school in the Midsummer Islands to strengthen education.

The so-called one-year period of the Magic Mountain is, of course, just a way to soothe people's anxiety, and as long as the banknotes are in circulation, the great convenience will soon be revealed. One will find paper money much more convenient than heavy gold nuggets.

"Your Majesty, has Westeros already practiced paper money trading in its entirety?" asked the good lord of Slave Bay, standing up.

"Lord Good, the King's Lands of Westeros, the West, the Riverlands, the Old Town and Qingting Island of the Riverlands, the Iron Ore of the Iron Islands, and the Halberd City of Dorne have all begun to use paper money. In the Westland and the Crown's Lands, all banknotes have been in circulation for six months. Today's large-scale trade on the continent of Westeros, no matter where the goods come from in the world, as long as they enter the five major ports of Westeros for trading, they need to go to the bank to exchange them for paper money. Captains, wealthy merchants, and nobles who left Westeros after the deal was completed usually exchanged for gold and taken away. ”

"Of course, many captains now deposit money directly in the bank, and in the future, they don't have to carry any money with them, they come to Westeros, and they can buy whatever they want. Good Lord, in a year's time, you deposit a sum of money in the bank in Astapol in Slave Bay, and you come to Westeros by boat, and you can withdraw the money from the bank in Westeros to buy goods. All you need to do is show proof of your deposit in the Astapol Bank at the bank in Westeros. ”

The good lord listened with his mouth wide open, his neck tilted up, and his face was incredulous.

"The Iron Vault can do anything. "The little devil added a fire in time.

If there is a lack of trust in His Majesty's Cregan Bank, the name of the Iron Treasury has long been ingrained in their bones.

When the Magic Mountain explained to the Prince of the Midsummer Islands, the little devil also added an explanation in the name of the Iron Vault.

In fact, it is not necessary for the nobles of these 'primitive and backward' worlds to understand the logic and principles of the operation of the bank, but only need to superimpose the royal majesty in the name of the Iron Vault to build their trust in the Iron Vault.

"Your Majesty, I look forward to the trading and circulation of banknotes around the world. "Elephant Party leader Joyle was politically capable, and he stood up to help His Majesty the King promote banknotes.

"Has Valantis started circulating banknotes?" asked Governor Kohor.

"Of course!" said Jeff, the leader of the Tiger Party, with a sense of superiority, "His Majesty's first branch of the Klegane Bank has been established in Valantis. Your Royal Highness, Prince of the Midsummer Islands, the branch of the Bank of Crega, which you are going to establish, will be the second sooner. Tiger Jeff laughed.

Jeff still had some reluctance to circulate banknotes, after all, it was a new thing, and he had never heard of it before. However, under the personal auspices of the Magic Mountain, under the full promotion of the High Priest of the Red Temple, Bennero, and the greed for the king's little dragon Timei, the Tiger Jeff went all out to assist His Majesty in the implementation of government affairs, including paper money.

Joshuael, the Elephant Party consul, said: "The Elephant Party and the Tiger Party contributed 40 percent of the Elephant and Tiger branches, and the Iron Treasury 60 percent. ”

"Is it the Iron Vault?" said Governor Reese.

He was convinced of the wealth of the Iron Vault.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Iron Treasury now belongs to His Majesty the King, and the Clegane Bank is the Iron Vault, and the Iron Vault is the Clegane Bank. The reason why the Iron Vault is called the Clegane Bank is because His Majesty's surname is Clegane. ”

"We all have the surname Clegane. Polivier exclaimed.

"The glory of the Cleganes is unquestionable, and the credibility and glory of the Iron Vault are unquestionable. Sweet-mouthed Ralphd Clegane stood up and said as if singing. He raised his glass: "For the sake of the Clegane family, for the glory of the Iron Vault, I want to toast all of you." I am His Majesty's cavalry general, Ralph Clegane. ”

Woohoo Woo!

Polivier Clegane picked up his glass and tapped it rhythmically on the table, making a gurgling sound.

Dunson, the executioner, also joined. 400

Bernie Clegane also came in.

Landon Gahr, Anga Clegane, Little Devil, One-Eyed Charm, Ragged Prince, Rover Spicer, Tiger Jeff, Earl Jon, ...... A lot of people have joined in.

Finally, all the nobles raised their glasses and banged them together on the table.

Everyone's eyes looked at the Demon Mountain, waiting for him to speak.

The atmosphere is up!

The help of Little Devil, Polivier, Elephant Party Joe Hugh, Tiger Party Jeff, Sweet Mouth Raff and others ignited the atmosphere of the conference.

Magic Mountain needs this kind of frenetic atmosphere.

Magic Mountain raised his glass: "To the Iron Vault, to the Clegane family, to the Clegane Bank, to the banknote transaction." He poured it full of wine and drank it all.

The nobles and generals stood up together and said, 'To the Iron Vault, to the Clegane family, to the Clegane Bank, to the bank, to the banknotes,' and hundreds of people drank it all.

The next government affairs went even more smoothly, and the magic mountain announced, and everyone accepted it, without discussion and no voting.

The second government task is to establish schools in various localities to teach a unified lingua franca. All the teachers assigned to various places were uniformly sent by the Old Town of Westeros. Both Westeros and Essos will be taught the lingua franca of Westeros, the only lingua franca that everyone must master.

The languages of the various nationalities are kept by themselves, and only one lingua franca is taught in the schools where His Majesty the King has funded the placement of teachers: the lingua franca of Westeros.

The third government affairs: all nobles must learn to use chopsticks. This is a new etiquette and a noble new way of life that is necessary among the aristocracy. While being proficient in using knives and forks, you should also learn to use chopsticks. The custom of using chopsticks was already popular among the great nobles of Westeros. The petty aristocrats who did not know how to use chopsticks have been included in the invisible chain of contempt by other nobles who are skilled in using chopsticks.

Fourth, the ...... of government affairs

The fifth government ......

The last task: the army marched eastward to conquer the eastern giants such as Quells, ending at the easternmost part of the known continent of Essos, Asha.

Asha, the hometown of the priest Melisandre.

As the royal priests of the Magic Mountain Legion, Melisandre and Lady Dorty Quintina chose a free seat. They did not speak the whole time, wore hoods, and stood beside them to serve maids, eating elegantly. The two pairs of eyes under the hood, focused and silent, examined each nobleman who stood up to speak. Blessed are the nobles who can be noticed by both Melisandre and Lady Dordty, who will be put to the attention of both Ladies and test their loyalty through their different Flame and Blood Secret Techniques.

Bernie Clegane, Lady Melisandre, and Lady Dolty Quintina had a different mission than anyone else at this banquet-style political conference. They are responsible for quietly observing, scrutinizing, filtering, judging, and then summarizing what they have gotten and handing it over to His Majesty the King after the Council is over.

*

Magic Mountain said: "Conquer the eastern giant city of Quells, and any adult who wants to gain glory, wealth, and territory through military exploits can stand up and ask for battle. ”

Tiger Jeff was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, I hope to be the vanguard of the eastward advance. ”

"Master Jeff, what do you know about Quells?" Daenerys smiled.

"Of course I do, Her Majesty. I've been to Quells, the longest I've been, and I've lived in Quells Big City for six months. It was an extremely rich and prosperous place, and the sum of our nine free trade city-states may not be as rich as the thirteen giants. ”

"The Midsummer Islands beg His Majesty the King to grant the right to send troops, and we will be the vanguard. "When the prince and nobles of the Midsummer Islands heard that Quells was so wealthy, everyone's eyes lit green. As soon as the prince waited for Jeff to finish speaking, he immediately stood up and pleaded with the magic mountain, hoping to get the opportunity to send troops.

Daenerys smiled: "Your Royal Highness, there are nine man-made wonders in the world, the Great Wall of Desperation, the Long Bridge, the Towering Tower, the Valyrian Avenue, and the Titan Giant...... One of the wonders of the world is the triple wall of Quells. Without the dragon, manpower would not have been able to break through the wall. ”

"If you can't break through from the outside, the people of the Summer Islands will fight from the inside. Your Majesty, please trust the valiant and warlike Summer Islanders who can sneak into the city through its drains and enter the city as merchants. The more prosperous the city, the easier it is to set fires. ”

"Your Royal Highness, have the people of the Midsummer Islands been to Quells?" said Tiger Jeff proudly.

"Of course we have been, the fruit of the Midsummer Islands is sold all over the world, and we have a fleet that has been to Quells City. ”

"Yes, but there's only one Vanguard, and that's my Jeff. ”

"The vanguard needs a brave warrior, not an old man who looks a little haggard. ”

Jeff laughed: "Your Royal Highness, you can either retract what you just said and apologize, or accept the duel." ”

"I'm here to duel you. A dark-skinned general with only white teeth stood up. He has a slender figure and is extremely flexible at a glance. He wears a crown of feathers on his head and a feather skirt around his waist.

"Don't duel. "Jeff will attack the land route, and the Midsummer Islands will attack the water route, and both sides will be the vanguard." Whoever breaks the city gate first will be the first to take credit. ”

"Your Majesty, charge and storm the city, the Dothraki have never lagged behind anyone. One of Kao stood up and said.

"Bertremkao, you're a step too late. ”

"The Dothraki are never one step behind. Lord Jeff, the Dothraki are quick, and by the time you get to Quells, the Dothraki have already taken it. ”

Quells is extremely rich, the Dothraki have always made a living by siege and robbery, and this time the opportunity to get rich is more than any previous siege, how can the Dothraki be absent?!
