Chapter 137, the Soldier's Trick (Ask for Subscription~!!)
Reconstruction efforts are in full swing.
White Harbor, a city that was almost burned to the ground, has now regained its prosperity as one of the five largest cities in Westeros.
Presiding over the reconstruction.
With the support of the Mandalay family, the head of the land, and the help of many nobles, Ryan can be said to be in power!
Trade was not as prosperous as before, but it was rich and rich.
With the strong support of the Arnold family with his grandfather and mother, Ryan even received funds to be able to recruit soldiers to train the army!
His brother Varian will not compete with him for the throne, and Arthur is only interested in supernatural powers.
Although there is a strange crisis.
However, the Iron Throne of King's Landing, Ryan is determined to win!
As for his brother Arthur's suggestion that the Lannisters and Daenerys would compete with each other, they were not optimistic about their strategy of being fishermen.
Take him for granted too much.
The imperial throne of the empire should be brought down with a sword!
Now the North, the Riverlands, and the Arryn Valley are all focused on guarding the Great Wall to deal with the Strange Spirits, and training armies, but the equipment of Lane's army is not good enough.
Moreover, as more and more wildlings moved south, the logistics required for the Great Wall were also greater.
Funding is fine for the time being.
But winter is coming, and the nobles of the North, the Riverlands, and the Vale of Arryn will no longer be able to support them.
By this time, they were running out of food.
For the sake of her son's future achievements, Maria, as a mother, decisively wants to go to the iron vault for Ryan to borrow!
Armed with the clever Hainlikai, the swordsmanship Anne, Arthur's maid Vanessa in Essos, and more than a dozen loyal guards, Princess Maria set sail on a merchant ship to meet the clear sky and sunset.
Braavos' Titan Colossus is no less majestic than Westeros' Desperate Wall.
I've never seen anything like it.
In shock, Maria and her men entered the archipelago surrounded by the bay and set foot on the water, full of docks.
It's not about traveling, it's about borrowing money from the Iron Vault.
White Harbor is well funded, but the Great Wall needs food, and major events cannot be delayed.
The people who disembarked did not rest, and took advantage of the noon, hurriedly ate something, and went straight to the iron vault.
......
On the other side of the old town of Westeros, Arthur devotes himself to learning magic, going to see the salt-drying people entering the city every few days, or helping Natalie with papermaking, publishing, and printing.
The busy teenager didn't know.
Staying in the Tower of Babel, Azhara's mother, Liana, who was also obsessed with magic, often left the Clan Castle in Hightower some time ago and went to a mansion in the city to discuss matters with the people of their Elizabethan family.
The so-called house arrest by the family is actually just a lie, and Liana and Azhara have not been treated unfairly at all since they returned from Essos.
Because, they are very scheming!
On the balcony of the mansion where snacks and wine are prepared, the noble ladies who come slowly sit down and sit down in the chairs, and the maids pour wine and serve them.
Liana took the glass and asked, "Considering the time, they are almost in Braavos, have things been arranged?"
"Everything was arranged, but those faceless ones temporarily raised the price and increased the commission by 30%, but we agreed to raise the price considering that it must be worth the money. ”
Hearing the maid's answer, the noblewoman nodded slightly, and then asked, "Have you contacted the daughter of the sea monster who went to Essos?"
"Yes, but she has no interest in robbing and killing women. ”
"And what about the Reese pirates?"
"They're interested, but things can get out of hand. ”
"It's okay, everything goes according to plan, the fire can't burn us. ”
......
Back to Braavos' side.
Instead of borrowing money from the Iron Vault on behalf of the Empire, the Imperial Family, or the Emperor, Princess Maria's negotiations with them did not go as smoothly as expected.
Heinly Kay has sharp teeth, but she still can't get around Robert's huge debt.
Moreover, the person who occupies King's Landing and sits on the Iron Throne is Tommen, who has the legal inheritance and the support of the Lannister and Tyrell families, and also controls the Stormlands.
More capable than Emperor Robert, who ran to the Great Wall, lost his territory and throne, and was busy fighting strange ghosts, he was more capable of repaying the debts of up to millions of golden dragons!
With no earnings in sight, why did the Iron Vault lend to Marita?
Just the identity of the imperial concubine, the Arnold family, a military family, and Ryan, who became the crown prince, cannot say that they will borrow money from the iron treasury.
Indeed, Maria and the others can get their hands on it, and there is no interest in attracting the iron treasury to borrow at all.
At this point, even the intelligent Hainlikai made it difficult.
The person in charge of the Iron Vault suddenly changed his words and said, "I heard that His Highness Arthur Holy Laurain has invented a lot of things, soap, white paper, printing......
If you have the method of making these things as collateral, we will be willing to lend you an amount that you are satisfied with. ”
Maria and Hain Likai also knew that Arthur was very profitable. However, they don't know how to make it, and they don't have the right to handle Arthur's stuff.
The poisonous tongue girl was silent for a while, and said: "I am Heinlikai Weting, although I am not engaged, I do have the most qualified person to be Arthur's wife, if I am engaged to him, are we eligible to borrow?"
Maria's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "I'll make this happen!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Iron Vault glanced at each other and discussed in a low voice.
After a few moments, one of the responsible people said, "That's not enough. ”
After talking for most of the day, she didn't even get the loan qualification, and Maria was really angry in her heart: "Then what do you want?"
Hainlikai knew that they wanted the way those things were made, and then for greater good.
Glancing at Anne, she muttered, "What do you think I can sign a contract on behalf of Arthur to mortgage the soap-making method to obtain a loan?"
"We want to make the blank paper, but also the printing. ”
"No, it's just soap!"
"Then we have to see how soap is made first. ”
"No, we're in a hurry for money, and we have time to wait for someone to go back to Westeros to bring the production method, so we might as well go back and use the soap making method to find someone to work with." ”
"But they can't provide that many golden dragons. ”
"But we haven't got any money from you yet!"
Negotiations with the Iron Vault continued, and with attractive benefits, Heinlikai finally started the situation, and then together with the imperial concubine, gradually obtained the amount.
In fact, the Iron Vault is well aware that as long as Robert does not die for a day, sooner or later he will regain the throne that belongs to him. If it weren't for the Lannister and Tyrell families to pay off their debts, the Iron Vault wouldn't even give Tomman a second look at the emperor.
The alliance of the North, the Riverlands, and the Vale of Arryn once won the Usurper Wars for Robert, and even if they were not as rich as the Lannisters and Tyrell, their strength should not be overlooked.
Betting on both ends and getting more out of it is their best choice.
Of course, Heinly Kay also caught this point, paid a lot of sacrifices to help Maria, and after you and me, successfully negotiated with the Iron Vault.
