Chapter 53 Free Trade Federation

Walking in the deep river water, Mu Shaoan only showed one head, moving slowly, even a little splash was carefully controlled, at this moment he walked downstream along the south bank of the Lujiao River for more than 20 miles, originally he thought that the fish beam should be near here, who would have thought that only after turning a mountain beam, the feeling of watching suddenly disappeared. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Grass! Someone's around?"

Mu Shaoxin scolded in peace, he didn't think that his own actions had alarmed Yu Liangmu, he still had this ability, and animals like wild deer, ice wolf, rabbit fox and the like would not alarm Yu Liangmu, even the kind of pious old god believers, the same.

Only that kind of stranger, a stranger who exudes hostility, would alarm Yuliangmu.

Mu Shao'an moved more cautiously to the downstream of the river, and when he arrived here, the Lujiao River had become wider, and the current was gentle, and it was estimated that the deepest point should be between five and ten meters, maybe deeper, but definitely not shallower.

This is a natural canal channel.

As soon as Mu Shaoxin thought of this, he saw that about eight or nine hundred meters away in front of him, a wooden sailboat of about two hundred materials was sailing smoothly.

The sails of the wooden boat were not raised because of the lack of wind, and at this moment they were swimming against the current, relying on two rows of oars sticking out from the decks on both sides of the wooden boat.

Hula hula shouted trumpets, while on the deck of the wooden ship stood a group of people pointing around, occasionally laughing, and in a very happy mood.

It seems that yes, it is they who have alarmed Yuliangmu.

Yuliangmu will not automatically slip away like the legendary ginseng doll, but it can quickly disguise itself as another tree after feeling threatened, so even Mu Shao'an will not be able to find this Yuliangmu in this situation.

"It's interesting that the free city-state's sailboat can come here. ”

Mu Shao'an narrowed his eyes, and quickly sketched a general truth in his heart, or more accurately, he found an answer to a suspected BUG in the Ice and Fire World.

In the plot of this world, the wildlings outside the Great Wall of Desperation are described as follows, they can't make sea ships, so they can't escape from both sides of the Great Wall, and the only exit to the south is the Great Wall.

Before, Mu Shaoan thought that this was definitely a BUG, a plot BUG.

First of all, the first piece of evidence is that in the past few hundred years, the Night's Watch has shifted the focus of its prevention from the Wraiths to the Wildling tribes, as the Wraiths have never appeared.

This shows that the savage tribe did not appear outside the country suddenly, but has a long history, which can be traced back to the period of the ancestors.

And as we all know, the climate in the north is very harsh, how can the wild tribe thrive in the ice and snow if they only rely on hunting and fishing? In fact, when the king of the outside world, Mance Rader, gathered the army of savages, he claimed to have 100,000 savages.

What do so many wild people eat?

It must be farming, and it must belong to the farming civilization.

So the question is, in the history of human development, which agricultural civilization has not been able to build ships when there is the sea on one side of the habitat and two gentle rivers at the mouth of the sea?

Well, take another 10,000 steps back, savages really don't know how to build ships, because they have no culture, no bachelors.

But there is a second piece of evidence.

Although some of the wildlings were native-born, some of them were originally migrated from the territory of the Seven Kingdoms, and even included the night watch deserters, such as the leader of the wildlings, the king of the Cypriots, Mance Red, he is a night watchman, and he is also a versatile, eloquent, and intelligent being, as a long-term guy from the south, will he not know how to build ships?

Or does he not understand the importance of ships?

Haven't you ever seen a pig run if you haven't eaten a pig's trotters?

Well, even if Mance Rader doesn't realize the importance of waterways, we savages like to burrow, what can you do?

However, at this moment, when summer first came, Mance Red must have heard the news of the appearance of the strange spirits, and some small hordes of savages were missing in general, and from this time, until winter came, they had to gather together and prepare to cross the Great Wall and go south, which was a full five or six months.

During this time, why didn't Mance Rader think of building a ship and going to sea?

Is it easier to force a siege on the Great Wall of Desperation than to sail on the water?

Could it be that more than 100,000 savages are really savages, wood with no brains and seeds?

The answer is self-evident.

But until this moment, after Mu Shaoan saw this sailing ship from the Free Trade Federation on the other side of the Narrow Sea, all doubts had been solved.

That is, it is not that the savages do not know how to build ships, at least they can build small boats, and it is not that Mance Rader, the great king of the Cypriots, is unaware of the importance of ships and waterways.

There is only one reason why they did not choose this hard path of development, that is, the waterways have been seriously blocked, and this part of the credit is still due to the night watchman, and the Donghai Wangbao Fortress on the east side of the Great Wall of Desperation is specially focused on the waterway road.

But it was almost fanciful to see the 200 night watchmen and a few small boats trying to block the army of savages in the East China Sea.

Therefore, there are only other forces that can really block the mouths of the two great rivers and prevent the savages from going south.

Free Trade Federation!

It's a magical place.

In the plot of the world of ice and fire, the Free Trade Federation has always played the role of a rich but not capricious, and standard businessman, and the most famous thing is the magical iron vault.

Perhaps it is a little thin to use those cumbersome data and the legendary past of the Iron Vault to prove what kind of existence it is.

Then, there must be the most appropriate description, that is, the role of the Iron Treasury in the world of ice and fire is similar to that of the Roschild family of Jews in the real world, or an organization such as the Freemasonry, the Skull and Bones Society, or the Brotherhood.

That's right!

Absolutely.

Although in the plot of the world of ice and fire, the iron vault is often a glimpse, giving people the feeling that it is not just a merchant organization, isn't it a loan company, not to mention the army of my dragon mother, it is just a few armies on the Westeros continent that will be wiped out for you.

But that's the cruel truth.

Unfortunately, the lion family is very awesome, Lannister, if there is a debt, it must be repaid, how domineering, but I'm sorry, the old lion Duke Tywin is very jealous of the iron vault, and in order to repay the debt of the iron vault, he even wanted to marry his daughter, Queen Cersei.

And the other rulers of the Seven Kingdoms were also more or less connected to the Iron Vault.

Even the previous king, Robert, was a debtor of the Iron Vault.

Even the seemingly most righteous and moral head of the wolf family, Ned Stark is not immune, although Brother Ned may not go to the Iron Vault to borrow gold, but judging from the sailing ship with the Free Trade Federation that Mu Shao'an has seen so far, the Stark family in the north must also be related to the Iron Vault.

You must know that among the seven kingdoms, in terms of which one supports the Great Wall of Despair and the Night's Watch Legion, it is none other than the Stark family.

And if it weren't for the warships of the Free Trade Federation to help block the Wildlings' access to the sea, believe it or not, it would only take five or six years for the Wildlings to swagger around the Great Wall of Desperation and invade the North?

At this point, if it weren't for Ned Stark's relationship with the Free Trade Federation, the gold-only guys would have sent warships to block the sea where rabbits don't?

What do you think!

Of course, in Mu Shaoan's opinion, there may be another explanation for this matter.

Assuming that the Kings of the North, the Starks, did not have a problem with the Iron Vault, then why did the ships of the Free Trade Federation help block the Wildlings' access to the sea?

For trade?

For raw materials?

Not necessarily.

It is likely that this is a conspiracy, and the warships of the Iron Treasury block the access of the wildlings to the sea, and the result is that the wildlings can only harass the Great Wall of Desperation, or climb over the Great Wall of Desperation to plunder.

As a result, the kingdoms south of the Great Wall had to allocate large sums of money and materials every year to support the desperate Great Wall.

Invisibly, the ravages of savages indirectly weakened the strength of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

Right

Although the Free Trade Federation is made up of nine powers, and they do not trust each other,.

Therefore, countless people are crying and shouting, swearing to say something, the Free Trade Federation is too busy to take care of itself, where is the strength to invade Westeros?

But the truth will slap you in the face.

When the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros were in shambles, agriculture was destroyed, soldiers were killed and wounded, and economic power was in the hands of iron coffers.

Please tell me, the free trade federation, why don't they come to you?

Oh, what happened to the identity of the merchant?

Businessmen don't have ambitions.

Lu Buwei's coffin board is almost unpressable, and Trump's coffin board is almost unpressable!

Of course, it doesn't matter what the Iron Vault of the Free Trade Federation is up to, the important thing is that they are not pig's feet, maybe they did have a deep layout in the Westeros continent, but now when the strange spirits go south again, when the army of the Mother of Dragons is gradually forming in the east, they can only continue to wait for the opportunity.

But Mu Shaoan believes that at this moment, the layout of the iron vault should still be there, which is why this sailing ship with the Free Trade Federation appears here.

Well, I'll get you on a wave.

Mu Shao'an thought so, so he silently dived into the river, walked to the middle of the river down-to-earth, hid in a pile of silt, and when the sailboat passed, he floated up silently and attached to the bottom of the boat.

The people on the boat were unaware of the whole process, but when Mu Shao'an traveled some distance with the sailboat, he suddenly found that on the north bank of the Lujiao River, a large group of wild people suddenly appeared, but they did not look guarded.
