Chapter 0878: The Mother of Dragons Advances by Land and Water, and the Iron Vault Messenger Comes to the Great Wall
The General's Tent of the Flame Hand of Fire.
"Drogo?" Daenerys whispered.
Drogo was still in shape, his face covered in a red cloth, wrapped around his head, and dressed like the other Flame Saints.
Drogo's eyes were no longer the familiar ones they used to be.
Drogo's eyes looked at Daenerys without the slightest hint of ill emotion.
"I'm pregnant, your child. Daenerys added, her voice calm.
Drogo's gaze remained unchanged.
"The Red God has resurrected your life, but he has taken your soul. Daenerys said lightly.
Her calmness and composure were admired by the likes of Jorah Mormont.
After Daenerys went to the Great Wall of Desperation, she became more mature and atmospheric.
Even in the face of such a Drogo, her expression did not change much.
"I'll ask the High Priest Bennero, if you don't want to pay attention to me, maybe you can't pay attention to me. I accept you as you are. Daenerys said calmly.
Drogo's eyes began to roll, from Daenerys to the others.
He slowly looked around everyone, and there was neither the previous sharpness nor the change in people's emotions in his eyes.
Daenerys looked at Drogo's guards, "How do I communicate with General Drogo, and how does he follow my orders when fighting?"
"Your Majesty, you give orders directly, and General Drogo understands your orders. ”
"If you can understand my commands, then you should understand my other words. Drogo, say a word to me, say my name, I'm Carrisie of the savannah. Daenerys said softly.
Drogo's gaze fell on Daenerys' face, and he didn't say a word.
Daenerys stood up, her face changed, she raised her head, and gave an order: "General Drogo, I am Daenerys, the queen of the Eastern Crusade, I now order you to take your Flame Hand as my right guard, your tent, move to my tent." ”
General Drogo immediately stood up and gestured, and one of his guards ran out of the tent and shouted orders.
As a result, the entire Flame Hand warriors knew about their new mission: the Queen's Right Guard.
Half an hour later, Drogo's tent moved to the right of Daenerys' tent.
Immediately afterward, Daenerys gave another order. Drogo became the second-in-command of her personal guards, and along with Jorah Mormont, she was responsible for her safety.

Early the next morning, Daenerys rode a dragon and flew high into the sky, first reconnoitering the situation on the grassland, and on the ground, the army slowly pulled out. In the steppes, it would be a nightmare to encounter the cavalry of the Upper Dothraki.
Daenerys' warrior infantry is predominant, and the cavalry is dominated by the Fire Hand and the Cass tribe of the three Blood Alliance generals, Daenerys's military plan is simple, the army will not engage the Dothraki cavalry when it arrives in the Holy City.
Daenerys is going to take out all of the Kao in the Holy City, and then take the Sea of Dothrak and unify the Middle Continent.
At the same time, Aquaman's seven hundred and seventy warships and about two thousand more supply ships marched along the near-waterways of the mainland towards the cities to the east.
The nine free trade city-states have been unified by Daenerys, from Braavos to Valantis, all the way without danger, and the cities and villages along the route have been well resupplied wherever the warships go. When the army reached the closest point to the Slave Bay to the east, it was very dangerous to continue onward, in a straight line, through the still smoking and smoking-burning bay of Valyria.
Since the apocalypse, it is said that no ship has been able to pass through this area.
For safety, bypass the bay and go to the open sea, but risk the possibility of being destroyed by the storm.
On the sea, many times more people die in storms than in battle.
After research, Aquaman decided to send two ships to the Valyrian Fireworks Bay first.
After the apocalypse, the Valyrian Empire was torn apart, and the peninsula floated into the sea, forming a sea of fireworks, and for 400 years, the water in the bay here was hot, and from time to time small islands and reefs shattered by fireworks, the misty water vapor seemed to be boiling a large pot of water below.

By the time Daenerys was heading east, Will had conquered the island of Skaggs, the unicorn army had been established, and the entire army had returned to the East Sea. The trade routes between Donghaiwang and Braavos were safeguarded, and the commander of Donghaiwang, Asha, sent a navy with a unicorn team to conduct a month-long continuous cleanup of pirates and pirates in the area around Seal Bay, day and night, to ensure that there would not be a shadow of pirates in Seal Bay in the future.
Shanna became the elder of the Unicorn Legion, and Bruno became the commander of the Unicorn Legion.
The entire inhabitants of the island of Skagus moved out of the island and settled on the 500 miles of land given by the Night's Watch, where they would form their own city: the city of Skagus.
Just as Will was busy settling the Skaggs, finding language teachers for the Skaggs, and training various teams to synchronize with the Night's Watch in Donghaiwang, a merchant ship came to the port of Donghaiwang, and a character with a different temperament came down from the merchant ship, and he was accompanied by four swordsmen of Braavos.
The swordsmen of Braavos are known for their swordsmanship and wandering the world.
As soon as the man came ashore, he asked the soldiers patrolling the docks where they could go to meet Lord Will.
Half an hour later, the man and his swordsmen stood in front of Will.
Will looked at this guy with a good temperament, this guy didn't have any family crest ornaments to show his identity except for his high-end clothes.
"Hello!" Will was polite.
"Hello, you are Venerable Lord Will?"
"Yes!"
"My name is Najo Dimetis, and I'm from the Iron Vault of Braavos. ”
"Oh!" Will stood up and held out his hand to Nahoe, "Hello, Mr. Nahoe. ”
The Iron Vault's name is thunderous, and Will already knows who Nahoe is, but he hasn't seen him. It was this well-dressed guy who agreed to provide financial help to Daenerys's crusade. The advantage of returning to him is that in the future, in any city on the entire continent, the iron vault can open a bank, and under the same conditions, it will have priority. Moreover, the queen has the power to participate in the establishment of the mainland's financial system in the future, such as coinage, iron treasury, and the legal system.
But there is a huge trap with this investment, that is, when the war is stalemate, or the time is protracted, the iron vault is not finished with the first payment, but must continue to pay again, and Daenerys does not have to bear the cost and interest of the money.
If you don't continue to pay, the huge amount of money funded in front of the iron vault will be wasted.
Will doesn't know much about finance, but the advantages of the Traveler's civilization level are obvious.

Chapter 0879-2 The Iron Vault Messenger Comes to the Great Wall
"Will you, can I talk to you about cooperation?"
"Yes!"
"I see a lot of construction going on on this land, and I don't know how Lord Will is going to solve the problem of money. ”
"Our kingdom has spent many years of savings. ”
"Money from the King's Treasury?"
Will smiled, he knew he couldn't hide it from someone in the Iron Vault.
"No, my own. ”
"Will-sama's private money?" Nahoe was surprised.
"Yes!"
"On a land nearly a thousand miles long and more than five hundred miles wide, a large number of buildings are Will's money?"
Will smiled and stopped answering Naho's question.
Naho was bright.
He couldn't understand why an individual would take out his property and share it, and why would Will have so much money.
"My lord, do your subordinates know that all this money is actually yours?"
"They don't know. ”
Nahoe choked again.
He looked at Will and felt that he had to get to know the man again.
Nahoe remembered the Mother of Dragons, and she had a great respect for Will, and that adoration was not something that could be expressed in words, but something that came naturally from the bones.
Braavos has two people who would most like to meet Lord Will, one is Nahoe and the other is Aquaman. They have this mood because Daenerys admires Will.
"My lord, can I talk to you alone?" Naho said.
Behind Will stood several of his guards: Blackgirl and Able of the Ash Tribe, Knight Rosso, General Wooden Shield, and Angay the Sharpshooter. Behind Naho, there were also his four swordsmen.
Will didn't shy away from telling where the money came from, and several of his close guards knew about it. Tyrion of Dragonstone and his Brightmoon Mountain natives also know a little bit about it.
Will said, "Okay!"
Someone wants to send money to the door, and Will won't turn it away.
Who would hate a lot of money, and it does require a lot of money now. The state is a machine that should be used to bear some of the things it should bear, such as the financial expenses of the kingdom, and if the treasury is empty, it must be borrowed in the name of the kingdom, not by the prime minister's personal strength.
I have paid a lot, and it is time for some people to know. Especially the nobles around House Baratheon. The nobles from Storm's Rest Castle who have been loyal to House Baratheon for three hundred years are dissatisfied with Queen Shireen Baratheon's residence in House Stark's Winterfell.
They believe that Winterfell is in control of the little queen Shireen Baratheon. The power of the kingdom naturally cannot be controlled in the hands of the Stark family, and welcoming the queen back to King's Landing to live in the Red Keep is the common wish of the nobles and nobles in the territory of Storm's End.
Will had heard the rumors, and had heard some rumors against him, but he was too busy to care about the chirping of the ants. But if the ants' chirpings are not answered, they will form bird chirps, which in turn will form larger sounds, and new forces will come forward to attack Will and the Stark family on behalf of these voices.
The struggle for power never stops!
Starting with the emptiness of the treasury can be a good way to counter the voices of those people.
For the Baratheon family, many families have deep roots, Stark and Will are only in recent years, Stark and Baratheon's relationship is not deep, King Robert and Duke Eddard grew up, and they have a deep relationship with this generation, and the rest of the ancestors are shallow in friendship, which cannot be compared with the nobles who have been loyal to the Baratheon family for three hundred years.
Will and Najo face each other, and both of them changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
There was no one else in the room.
Nahoe and Will both put their legs on the table, and the two of them relaxed completely.
This shows that there are many things in common between the personality traits of the two people.
"I need money!" Will said, "I'm going to save my money, it's my personal wealth after all." Then, in the name of the state, they borrowed money from the iron treasury, and in the future, they repaid the loan through national taxes. ”
"Good idea!" Nahoe said, "I have a better plan for now, would Lord Will you like to hear it?"
gurgling!
Will began to pour red wine for himself. Bottles and glasses are at hand.
Nahoe also took matters into his own hands and poured himself wine!
Nahoe said, "Lord Will, I can fund the money you need, and I don't need you to repay the principal or interest. ”
"Such a good thing, keep talking. ”
"I'm going to get the power to open a bank on the continent of Westeros now, and in King's Landing, in White Harbor in the north, in Old Town, in Lannisport in the west, and Seagull in the Vale, we can openly run a bank in our iron vaults, and set our own interest according to the actual situation in the locality. ”
"There has to be a range of interest for me, the minimum is not less than the amount, and the maximum is not higher. Will said.
Naho was stunned!
Does this mean Will agreed?
So fast?
He hadn't even explained how much it would be good for Lord Will and the country.
"You...... Agreed?" Naho said in a tentative voice.
"Such a good thing, why don't I say yes. Will laughed.
"I have one more request. Nahoe said. He regretted a little in his heart that he might have spoken too quickly, but who wouldn't want their plan to be implemented more smoothly?!
"Say it!"
"We will send a person from the Iron Treasury to join the Queen's Imperial Council, who will have the power to participate in the establishment of the country's financial system and the management of the banking industry. ”
"The country's finances allow you to send a man in as an official. Will said.
Nahoe was stunned again, and then reacted: "Lord Will, did you design Her Majesty Queen Daenerys's loan plan?"
"I'm part of the discussion!" Will's reply was perfect.
Naho's eyes rolled, and he drank several glasses of wine in succession, and said, "There must be a maximum amount of money for our support for the kingdom. ”
"Oh!"
"Lord Will, since you want to set a maximum limit on the interest on our loans, we also need to set a maximum limit on the amount of money we pay. ”
"No problem!" said Will.
Anyway, if the iron vault hesitates when the time comes, then negotiate, the negotiation fails, the iron vault does not give in, and the early investment will be over, and it will be given in vain.
This is the risk that Iron Vault must take if it wants to control the financial system of the entire continent.
How can there be a business that does not take any risks.
As for the financial system and banking, now is an era of barbaric growth, when the capitalists and bankers circle money, anyway, the aristocracy is also circle money, it is better to let capitalism go further. The feudal aristocracy will slowly and eventually be replaced by capitalism. This change, after taking out the strangers, will finally come.
Everything, just manage it well, anyway, everything has to move forward, and it will not be transferred by personal will. The state, which can also be the largest shareholder of the iron treasury, depends on who can eat whom in the end.
