Chapter 0532 - Forced Buy

(Guaranteed seal.) )

Count Ode looked at the Magic Mountain in disbelief.

"Your Excellency wants me to surrender to Raveneye?"

"You can send someone to contact Raveneye. "The Magic Mountain saw Count Ode's timidity.

It was different to send someone to ensure the safety of Count Odeh.

“...... I can...... Give it a try...... "Count Ode didn't want to do this, but he gave a perfunctory look at the magic mountain, "Lord Duke, why don't we discuss it with the Prime Minister? Randolphtali's army surrounded Riverrun for a long time, so Randolphtari's army could enter the western frontier and relieve Raveneye's attack on the western frontier. “

"Lord Earl, do you think Lord Tyrell would believe the fragments of the prophecy, Lord Prime Minister, Lord Landautarly, and how many people would believe it before it happened?"

"My lord, I am completely convinced. Count Ode's tone was affirmative and strong.

"Do you believe in ghosts and dragons?" asked the Magic Mountain suddenly.

Count Ode was stunned for a moment: "My lord, I believe in dragons, because the merchants, knights, and mercenaries who came to King's Landing are all talking about dragons. There are so many people talking about it, I can't believe it or not. “

"What about the ghosts?"

“...... I...... Instinct that's a lie from the northerners......"

"Sir Jaime has come back and spoken of the Stranger, and you doubt his honesty?"

"I don't doubt Sir James, I suspect that Sir James has fallen for the Northerners. ”

"That's not believing in ghosts!"

“............“

"The coming of the demons is real. The Wrai are intelligent beings with the ability to resurrect all dead bodies, and the resurrected dead bodies are ghouls, and the ghouls are the soldiers of the Wraiths. “

Count Odd stammered.

He chose not to refute the absurd claims of the Magic Mountain.

Strange ghosts and ghouls have always survived in legends and stories, and the recorded strange ghosts were also recorded 8,000 years ago. Unlike dragons, there are still complete bones of dragons underneath the Red Keep. Dragons have existed, but they have never been seen by anyone, except in stories and legends.

"Just as adults don't believe in James's ghosts, Lord Chancellor and Lord Tyrells have a hard time believing my prophecy. By the time they are willing to believe it, it will be too late. ”

"Lord Duke, do you have any secret plans?"

"Will you listen to me?"

"Of course, there is no doubt about it. Count Odd said categorically.

The Magic Mountain is not fooled by the attitude of Count Ode and words such as 'willing to follow', Count Ode has no loyalty, he is only concerned with the general situation and interests.

"I'm not going to mention to the Prime Minister and Lord Tyrell that Raveneye will attack the West, I want us to work together to get rid of Croweye, and then attack the Iron Islands, occupy the Iron Ore Mountains on Grand Wick Island, turn the Iron Islands into a territory in the West, and eradicate the power of House Greyjoy once and for all. ”

"My lord, what about our wine trade on Qingting Island?"

"Fighting wars and making money do not conflict. ”

"How are you going to convince the Redwin family on Qingting Island to give up their wine to your lord and sell it to the other side of the Narrow Sea?"

"I'm not just selling wine to the other side, I'm going to sell wine to seven countries. “

Count Odd was stunned.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I heard from the Prime Minister that you only sell wine to the other side, and you will not interfere in the wine sales of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"I can't let the Prime Minister make as much money as me out of thin air. “

Count Odd felt that his mood was messy.

The Magic Mountain has changed too much, treacherous and cunning, bold, and full of lies, and has won the essence of the great nobles in the Red Castle.

"Lord Duke, how are you going to convince the Redwyn family to give you the wine alone. ”

"It's not called buying and selling, it's called monopoly. ”

"Monopoly?" said Count Odeh, learning a whole new word.

"Yes, monopoly. I'm going to monopolize a lot of things. At present, it has monopolized the fishing industry of the Heishui River and the fish market of King's Landing, the second step is to monopolize the wine of Qingting Island, and the third step is to monopolize snow salt, sea salt, dried noodles and iron ore. In order to monopolize iron ore, I must occupy the Iron Archipelago's Grand Wick Island. Of course, there are a lot of very profitable goods, and I have to take it step by step. For example, the wheat stout in Riverlands is in demand in the Summer Islands, and I will monopolize it after I defeat Crow's Eye. ”

Count Odd couldn't believe it.

“...... My lord...... You...... You...... What's the secret to your monopoly on these goods?"

Magic Mountain stared at Count Odeh: "Let me tell you a little secret about monopoly first. “

Count Ode looked at the Magic Mountain, looking as well-behaved and childish as a schoolboy. He listened.

"Money!" said Moshan slowly.

Money, the first capital of the monopoly.

In this semi-agrarian, semi-animal husbandry world, a casual modern capitalist thick black management method is an epoch-making innovation.

Crush at will!

The waters off Dragonstone.

A merchant ship came from the south.

The waters of Dragonstone Island are the only way for all ships of all sizes to enter and exit the port of King's Landing, Blackwater.

The merchant ship had a flag on it: a blue bottom with dark purple grapes in the middle.

This is a merchant ship from the Redwin family on Qingting Island. Purple grapes on a blue background are the family crest of the Redwin family.

In the bow of the merchant ship, the king's flag was planted: a stag on one side, a lion on the other.

Two warships appeared, with the Clegane family's Red Smoke Beast, the Ice Sword Banner, and the Crag Rock Westerling House White Shell Banner on their bows. On the bridge, the king's flag fluttered: the stag lion flag.

Two battleships came from the left and right, and on the deck stood the generals and soldiers.

The captain of the merchant ship saw that the situation was not right, and the route of the two warships was the route of interception.

"Slow down!" the captain ordered.

As a result, the oarsmen on the merchant ships slowed down.

"Lower the sails. The captain shouted again.

The windswept sails slowly lowered.

The speed of the ship slows down rapidly.

The two warships came in a nois, and the first general was none other than Earl Gavin Westerling of Crag Rock City, the young father-in-law of the Magic Mountain.

The general on the other battleship, armed with a heavy axe, with a broken nose and a fierce eye, was Gavin's brother-in-law: Rhospers.

The merchant ship has three floors on the water, two hundred and forty oarsmen, two shifts, one hundred and twenty in one shift.

The commander in charge of escorting the merchant ship was from the Redwing family, and was Sir Desmond Redwing. He came to the bow of the boat, nervous.

The flag of the Clegane made him nervous.

What do the legions of the Magic Mountain want to do when they intercept their merchant ships in the waters of Dragonstone?

As a knight of the Redwin family, Desmond has seen the world and has good martial arts, but in the face of the two warships on the left and right, the hundred Redwin soldiers on his ship are not enough to stuff people's teeth.

The merchant ship was forced by two warships and had to stop.

Sir Desmond called out, "Is it Earl Gavin?" he was in charge of escorting the delivery ship, and he knew and had to know the situation of the places he would go through on the way from Qingting Island to the port of the Blackwater River.

Gavin Westerling didn't know Desmond, but he knew that he was from the Redwing family.

"I am, who is Sir Excuse me?"

"Lord Earl, I am Sir Desmond Redwin. ”

"Sir Desmond, your ship is loaded with wine from Qingting Island. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"I appreciate the wine of Qingting Island, can you invite adults to Dragonstone Island as a guest?"

Desmond Redwyn naturally didn't believe that Count Gavin really invited him to Dragonstone as a guest, and the two sides did not have any friendship.

"Lord Earl, I am going to King's Landing Blackwater River Port ** goods, and when I finish delivering the goods, I will definitely come to Dragonstone Island to visit my lordship. Come, bring ten barrels of good wine to Count Gavin. ”

The two warships slowly approached, and the hull of the merchant ship suddenly shook, and the warships on the left and right sides closed together, sandwiching the merchant ship in the middle. The oarsmen didn't have time to retract the blades when they heard a crunch click, and the blades were crushed and broken.

Rhofospasser was the first to jump aboard the merchant ship with a heavy axe, and heard the sound of a long sword unsheathed, and a hundred warriors of the Redwin family drew their long swords together.

Bang bang!

Countless Clegane naval warriors climbed over the edge of the ship and jumped. They have soldiers from the Westerling family in Crag Rock, and warriors from the Crab Claw Peninsula.

On the other side, Count Gavin also jumped over.

Dense Clegane naval warriors rolled over the side of the ship like ants, forcing Desmond Redwin and his hundred soldiers.

Desmond shouted, "Redwyn soldiers, put away your weapons, everyone is your own people. He smiled at Earl Gavin again: "Count Gavin, the Redwin family is a vassal of Duke Tyrelle, Lord Tyrell is the Minister of Law of the Seven Kingdoms, in charge of law and judgment, is Lord Count coming here as a guest, or does he want to rob Redwin's merchant ships?"

"Sir Desmond, I invite you to Dragonstone, and you can't help but give me face. “

Desmond sneered, "Count Gavin, what if I don't go?"

"Then I can't help you, Sir Desmond, you have to go to-day, and you have to go if you don't. Brokennose Heavy Axe Rhos Spaser shouted.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that the Clegon Navy soldiers have become pirates in the waters of Dragonstone. When the news comes out, I'll see how Lord Magic Mountain ends up in King's Landing. How should the Klegane family explain to His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Queen Mother, and His Majesty the Prime Minister?"

Count Gavin raised his hand, and the soldiers who had crossed the ship laid down their weapons.

"Sir Desmond, I sincerely invite you to Dragonstone as a guest, and I ask you to agree. Tomorrow morning, Gavin will surely send the adults out to sea, and when the time comes, the adults will go wherever they want, and they will do whatever they want. I hereby swear in the name of the god of the sea that I will not harm the life of any soldier of the Redwin family, nor the life of any sailors, oarsmen, handymen, and servants on board. Please, sir!"

After a short while, three ships again, two warships on the left and right, and the Redwin family's merchant ship in the center, sailed together to Dragonstone.

Early the next morning, the Redwin merchant ship sailed out of the port of Dragonstone Island, and all the Qingting Island wine on board was emptied, and the hull of the ship floated a lot. In the cabin on the lowest floor, there were several rattan boxes, which contained golden dragons and silver deer.

The merchant ship, laden with wine, was forced to sell all its wine to Count Gavin. Although there is no loss in price, this way of doing business is very unpleasant.

And, Count Gavin said, this is just the beginning.

Desmond Redwing stood at the bow of the ship, and the ship sailed in the direction of King's Landing. He was going to meet with Duke Tyrell at the Red Keep of King's Landing, explain to him the 'forced purchase' of the wine, and explain the situation to the merchants of King's Landing who had signed the contract.

Last night, a scene of depression lingered in Desmond's mind, and he returned to his guest room with his eyes open until dawn.

The Redwyne family suffered their first ever forced buy!

Count Gavin's shameless words seemed to be echoing in Desmond's ears: "Sir Desmond, please tell Lord Count Pixstredwyn that the wines he sells to King's Landing, Seagull Town, White Harbor, and Lanniport in the future will be sold by the Cleganes, and the Cleganes will not interfere in the markets of Riverlands and Dorne." In terms of price, I hope it will be a little lower than before, because we Cregans buy a lot of money, and we pay the full amount in one go. In terms of transportation, the Cregans can go to Qingting Island to transport, and the Redwin family can move money directly into the vault at their doorstep. ”

Desmond replied lightly: "Count Gavin, the Redwin family has a powerful naval fleet, and has the strength to protect his merchant ships and sell wine anywhere. “

Earl Gavin laughed, "Sir Desmond, Lord Gregor will visit Lord Earl Paxter at the right time to convince him to hand over the wine to the Cleganes to run and sell." ”

"No way. Desmond said flatly.

Count Gavin smiled and disagreed: "Desmond, if the people of Cregan, plus the Prime Minister and the Earl of Audrannister, I don't know if they have the ability to act as an agent for all the sales of wine?!"

Desmond was suffocated!

Magic Mountain buys all the wine, and behind the Prime Minister stands the Prime Minister? Behind the Prime Minister, is there still the royal family?

This made Desmond feel uncomfortable.

Selling sake to anyone is sold, and the price is about the same, and the profit is equal. It's just that the Klegane's way of coercing warships upsets him. If Magic Mountain added Prime Minister Kevon and Count Ode, Desmond didn't know how to deal with this situation.

With their interests not compromised, it is a question of whether the Redwing family is willing to offend the Magic Mountain, the Prime Minister, and Earl Odd.

Lannisport in the West is the domain of Count Oder, and the Redwin family's wine is sold to most of the Westside and the Riverlands, and it is unloaded and shipped in Lannisport, and a small order from Earl Ode can block the waterway trade of Redwin's Sunset Sea.

Until the boat entered the Blackwater Valley, Sir Desmond was still in a state of confusion, a depressed breath hovering in his chest, unable to spit out.

The ship arrived outside the port of the Blackwater River, and a warship of the Royal Navy fleet came for a routine inspection, which had never been done before.

The Redwin family's cargo ship is 'exempt from inspection' under the family flag.

Desmond had to order the ship to stop and be inspected by the admirals.

The Minister of the Sea, Wagnagar, got on the ship, and after taking the Royal Navy soldiers around the ship, he couldn't help but say that he seized the rattan boxes containing gold coins and silver deer on the ship, and when he came to the deck, he couldn't help but say that a few swords were against Desmond, and in front of the soldiers of the Redwin family, he took Desmond to the Warhammer of the Royal Navy fleet.

Desmond was stunned and said, "My lord, I am a vassal of Lord Tyrelll, the Minister of Law. “

"Desmond, Lord Magic Mountain heard that you are very dissatisfied with his purchase of wine from Qingting Island, he wants to know what is the cause of your dissatisfaction, if it is his fault, what is the shortage of price, Lord Magic Mountain will apologize to you together with the Prime Minister, Count Ode. Lord Moshan hopes to get your forgiveness!"

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Desmond's forehead!
