The reason why Ryan returned to Meereen in such a hurry was that the investment conference was about to begin, after all, the existence of the city-states would become a problem after the four city-states no longer had slaves for sale. In the TV series, the dragon mother did not find a replacement because she abolished the slave trade, which led to a large-scale rebellion. And Ryan was now in a hurry to recommend new products as an alternative to slave exports.

Fortunately, with the support of industry and extraordinary power, new products were quickly made. When Ryan returns to Meereen, he sees a former slave estate that has been turned into a collective farm, where countless freed slaves are toiling and cultivating all kinds of magical plants from the world of Plants vs. Zombies.

And in Meereen's town hall, the officials' reports also showed a thriving scene. Free slaves found new jobs, and magical plants brought enough food, vegetables, and textile raw materials for everyone. In this case, the city-state presented a scene of prosperity. But the officials also told Lane that most of the warehouses had been filled with newly produced goods and that they needed to be sold urgently.

The most popular product now produced in the area controlled by Lane is coinage, with the help of various metal-absorbing plants. Ryan obtained enough gold and copper from the copper mines near Meereen, and at the same time found a number of silver mines in the eastern mountains to refine silver.

So Lane set up a mint in Meereen, using a steam engine to drive a mechanical press to produce money. The precious metal content of this industrially produced currency is stable, and each currency is the same size, with a regular shape and clear lines. It was much better than the money that was hammered out by hand with molds, and was loved by merchants as soon as it was introduced.

After the money was made, he established a bank for currency exchange and financial services. Countless people can be seen going to the bank every day to exchange their currency for new machine-made money.

In order to avoid arousing hostility, Ryan also invited people from the Iron Vault to come and participate in the shares. As long as there is money to be made in the iron vault, it does not mind that Ryan set up a bank, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the local mechanical coinage has also become popular in the world.

Of course, this is just the reason why his strength is not enough now, and it will be difficult to say how to talk about business when his strength is strong in the future.

However, in addition to the gold coins that everyone loves, other product recommendations need some publicity. So the next morning after returning to Meereen, he woke up Rose Crystal to go to work at the temple. After washing up, Ryan flew to the highest pyramid on a broomstick to prepare for the midday trade fair and luncheon.

The reason why Ryan doesn't like living in this pyramid is because he really doesn't like this house with no elevator, no water and no electricity. Besides, as a person from modern society. Living in a high place does not give him any pleasant feelings. Therefore, after the occupation of the city, these large pyramids were used as exhibition halls and hotels for foreign investment.

After arranging the exhibits, the merchants who had been summoned also climbed up the Great Pyramid one after another, panting. Ryan expressed his sincere admiration for the businessmen who climbed the stairs to the height of more than 50 office buildings. But it seems that they are not dissatisfied with this, and many businessmen are even very grateful to Lane for inviting them to a meeting on this magnificent building.

When they came up, they had already seen the goods that Ryan was going to display on the lower floors, and now they came up hoping to get the right to sell them.

In order to avoid competition, the goods launched by Lane are all things that are not available in other regions. For example, the four city-states in the eastern part of Slave Bay produced soap, matches, copperware, mirrors, refined salt, spices, canned seafood, and fine jewelry. There are also candles, lamp oils, mechanical clocks, lighters, porcelain, various civil ironworks, spirits and sugar from the Raza region that were brought along the Skazadan River.

The only regret is that due to the high demand for livestock products in both worlds, the livestock products that were originally a specialty of the Raza region are now simply not available for export.

The dazzling array of goods conquered the merchants who had come here to buy slaves, and they didn't mind what was in their ships under the lure of money. They had previously complained about the cessation of the slave trade. But now, each of them is praising Lane's slave emancipation cause.

Soon these merchants began to subscribe to a share of the goods under the auspices of Lane, and naturally many merchants did not have enough money. At this time, the people of Meereen Bank came forward to lend to them.

Although Ryan feels that the interest rate of 10% per month is too dark, it is equivalent to an annual interest rate of 120%. But all the merchants were happy to borrow money from Ryan. After listening to their discussion, it became clear that these merchants were not usually qualified to borrow from the iron vault, while the high rates of loans from others were more expensive.

After all the business negotiations were done, the luncheon began. On the premise of introducing several world cooking methods and having a large number of spices available. The food on the table was so delicious that the merchants almost swallowed their tongues.

There was a small episode in the banquet where Rose Crystal appeared from the temple before everyone had eaten for a few minutes, and after pulling Ryan's hair and complaining about not calling her when he ate the meal, he sat down at the table next to Ryan and began to enjoy the lunch together. Soon I saw the plates on the table flying towards the rose crystal, after feasting. She grabbed Ryan's napkin, wiped her hands and mouth, hummed a song, and left happily.

After the Rose Crystal left for a while, the merchants who had fallen to their knees who had been suppressed by the gods were pale and trembling and got up. Previously, they had only heard that the Lazarins had a new god and launched a war of revenge and annexed the four slave city-states, but they never expected that there would really be a god.

Most of the merchants were now confident in business, and the Lazarins would surely rule the land for a long time with the blessing of the gods, and the merchants loved a stable society for the most part. And a few guys who didn't pay back the money they owed firmly dismissed this idea. After all, they had seen the close relationship between the new king of the Lazarins and the gods, and in this case the gods were much more terrible than the faceless ones who came to collect debts.

The day after the end of the conference, the officials reported to Lane the good news that more merchant ships were expected to come here in the next quarter because the flow of goods had finally resumed after several months of war stagnation.

At the same time, under the intimidation of the rose crystals, these merchants are willing to lead local caravans to other cities. On the one hand, it is beneficial to set up business stores in other cities to facilitate product sales, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to collecting more extraordinary information. At least after conquering these slave city-states, Ryan gained a lot of information about blood magic and shadow magic.

After dealing with government affairs for a few days, the time came to September of the year 297 of the Dragon Calendar. At this time, the autumn is high and the horses are fat, and it is also the time when the Dothraki people began to go south to rob every year in the past. According to tradition, they will surely have a large army of men and horses come to the wilderness of Raza to rob. Ryan, on the other hand, intends to return and take advantage of this concentration of Dothraki to take out several large forces.

After admonishing the Governor and the Commander of the Defenders, Ryan took the Rose Crystal on his shoulders and was greeted by a group of people on the steamship back to the Raza region.
