"Debtor: Night's Watch Legion, Purchaser and Creditor: Jaime Lannister, Purchase: Two Hundred Gold Dragons, Date: Aegon 298 ......"

As he wrote, Tyrion quickly filled most of the gaps in the bonds, and coincidentally, Jack, who had left early to run errands, also finished the two things that Egg had told him to do, and brought the seal he and Tyrion had ordered back to the Night's Watch office - this first bond, and there would be no regrets.

"These boxes on the back are used when the bond needs to be transferred because of lack of money, and the endorsement of the date of the transfer, the signature of the original holder and the receiver can be fingerprinted, and the bond can be sold to another person. ”

"I never knew what it was like to be short of money. Jaime said faintly—apparently, no one in the room would doubt it.

"I believe it, but let me finish my lines and rehearse them. Tyrion finished everything and handed the bond to Egger. "Okay, this first bond will have the signature and seal of me, the guarantor, and when the credit of the Night's Watch Legion is established, this step can be saved, give. ”

The "Chief Logistics Officer of the Night's Watch" nodded, bowed his head and signed his name in the Handler column: Egger West.

＊＊＊

"West", this surname was chosen after some consideration at Tyrion's request, and the dwarf told him that the Westeros concept values surnames, and that Iger wants to raise money from the middle and upper classes in King's Landing under the name of the Night's Watch Logistics Officer, and if he can't even do the minimum "name and surname", it will give the nobles and the rich a great sense of insecurity, and invisibly add resistance to the fundraising plan - not only must he have a surname, but it is better to choose one that is local enough to make people listen to it without a sense of disobedience.

Tyrion didn't give much advice on the whole project, but each one was quite useful, and after some thought, Egg agreed with him. So, after receiving a name of unknown meaning from the farmer who captured him, which is suspected to be homophonic with "egg", Iger finally made his own decision on the surname.

"West", a homonym for "Western" in English, alludes to its origins from the west of the Sunset Sea, and while Westeros' lingua franca differs from English, the surname is at least much more normal than names like Egger Chang and Egger Lee...... He didn't want to explain to every client that he was from "Caina" and that he was a foreigner, so his surname was different. This is effective for attracting Tyrion and Arya's attention, but it is the other way around borrowing money from those in King's Landing, who have long since lost their curiosity and curiosity.

I hope that this local surname can make up for some of the disadvantages of being different from the locals in appearance.

Fill in the fill-in, and sign the sign-in. Egg took out the seal he and Tyrion had customized two days ago from the bag Jack had brought back, pressed the ink that had been on his desk, and stamped it firmly on the front of the bond: Tyrion's personal seal was his first and last name, while Egger had the words "Night's Watch Logistics", and on the outer edge of the seal was a circle of jagged lines that he had specially requested to be added to imitate the battlements on the edge of the city wall, which was very eye-catching and recognizable.

The three of them pressed their fingerprints at the bottom of the bond, and Iger wrote the password in the blank space of the bond, dripped the melted fire paint to cover it, and then pressed it with the freshly arrived fire paint print...... Raise it to your lips and blow it, and at this point, the world's first effective night watch bond is considered complete.

......

On this small piece of paper, there are three levels of anti-counterfeiting: low, medium and high:

"Low-level security protection" refers to the high-grade parchment used in the bond itself, the contents copied and filled in by Tyrion, and the signatures and seals of several people. As the game gets bigger and the bonds increase, the difficulty of counterfeiting is clearly the lowest.

"Intermediate anti-counterfeiting", is the original code fire paint anti-counterfeiting seal, fire paint is extremely viscous, after cooling and molding, it will be tightly attached to the parchment, and the Great Wall pattern printed on it itself is a low-strength anti-counterfeiting. And the so-called "password" covered by this layer of fire paint is actually Iger copying the borrower, date and amount in Chinese, which is a unique string of characters that will never be repeated, and the "code book" is in Egger's mind, and he is the only one in the world who can distinguish between truth and falsehood. Westeros people who do not know Chinese, even if they forcibly uncover the fire paint or melt it at high temperatures to see the content below, will never be able to deduce the password on another bond from the password on one bond - although it is not as reliable as fingerprints, but adding a difficult anti-counterfeiting mark at a lower cost can also discourage many whimsical guys who try to forge bonds.

As for the "high-level anti-counterfeiting", it is naturally the handprint itself. In this day and age, forging fingerprints was almost impossible, and if Iger was not in the office one day, he hired staff to make sure that the handprints were genuine, even if the password under the fire paint was unreadable.

Of course, there is the last line of insurance, that is, the bond sale records kept in the office, after all, this world has magic and supernatural powers, if there is really any guy who can forge fingerprints and all other security marks, and create a bond that can be fake, at most he can take a loan or two, and it is impossible to take a large amount of money that Iger has never borrowed at all.

As Jaime asked his entourage to bring money bags and throw them on the table, the first step in Egger's deception in this world was a step out.

After paying the "hush money", James probably felt at ease, his tense face relaxed a lot, and his tone was not so impulsive. After chatting a few words without a pair, he made an excuse to leave and left the office with a few attendants.

......

"You let me pit my own people, and this is the pit. ”

"Well, your brother is naturally willing to support you, but he is not my ideal audience, you Lannisters are so rich, growing up in this environment, Jaime has no sense of money at all. He said it himself - he had no idea what it was like to be short of money. Iger shook his head, "So, although he came to buy bonds because of you, he would never introduce and recommend our bonds to the people around him, and what I need is the kind of person who has a little bottom at home but is not rich enough to feel about the money, and who comes for our rate of return and interest, and can bring me more customers." I need a 'greedy person', not a 'donor', you understand what I mean?"

"I see, I happened to meet Jaime when I got back to the city, so I brought him straight in. Tyrion quickly understood what was wrong and frowned, "It's me who didn't think it through. ”

"It's okay, this is not our amount of funds, and we have two hundred gold dragons more out of thin air...... 42,000 silver deer...... 294,000 bronze stars. It's still the best quality - the kind that you don't have to rush to return in the short term. Iger didn't want to blame his benefactor and partner too much, so he made a bad joke that a man who could count could keep up, and then changed the subject: "How about you go to the paper-making boy today, and what is the result?"

"Well...... Let me start by saying that I admire. A smile appeared on Tyrion's thoughtful face, "You're just a god, that young man, it's paper made by mashing the ingredients and soaking them in water." ”

"Great. Egger breathed a long sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes, and quickly made a major decision: "The original one-month interest rate is too low, and when you pull people to buy bonds, you will make an appropriate increase based on the actual situation, and you decide how much." ”

"It's already 17 percent a year!"

"If you just want to keep the capital chain stable, 17 percent is too high. Madoff cheated Americans for 20 years with a 10 percent rate of return, and eventually collapsed, Iger thought to himself, "but now it's a different story, the birth of new paper is a foregone conclusion, and as long as we run it right, what we're going to do next -- can make far more than 17 percent." ”

"What are you talking about!" Arya shouted in dissatisfaction as she sat for a long time. She could understand every word of what the adults said, but she couldn't understand it at all.

The rest of the content could no longer be heard by this girl, Egger touched his head, rubbed the girl's head, and said with a smile: "That's all for today, go back with the guards who sent you, see you tomorrow." ”

"But it's still early in the dark, I'll go back and have nothing to do!"

"You have nothing to do, the master is busy, obedient. Go back and rummage through the clothes you brought from Winterfell, study how to dress yourself, and tomorrow you will come in a new and more beautiful outfit, and I will tell you the story of surviving in the wilderness. ”

"Hmm...... All right. Egger wanted to quickly close the relationship between himself and Arya, and Arya didn't want to behave well in front of the new swordsmanship teacher? The man's actions reminded the girl of her bastard brother Jon, she pouted, sad for a while, and finally decided not to make trouble: "Then I'll go back, I have to tell more stories tomorrow, and there is still class time, it can't be shorter than today!"
