Bite!

A very crisp sound.

This made Nahoe's eyes look at Petyr Berish, Littlefinger, a little bit.

This is a scene that takes place in the Castle Black Shield Hall on the Great Wall.

When Littlefinger put his hand on the table, it made a metallic sound.

His hands were hidden in the mole's gloves.

"Petyr, your hands are special!" Naho said.

"Lord Will ordered it to be cut down, and it was in the castle of Donghaiwang. Littlefinger laughed.

Nahoe looked at Will in surprise.

Will smiled: "Lord Petyr has committed a crime, a capital crime, but his business ability is a talent, the Great Wall needs his talent, and this country also needs his ability, I just cut off one of his hands, and he has taken a big advantage." ”

Naho was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Lord Will, is it true that politicians can say bad things as good." ”

"Tell me the truth!" said Will, "Mr. Nahoe, Lord Petyr is the Chief of the Great Wall of Desperation, and one of the most important ministers of the kingdom, and he is the Minister of Finance of the Nation. ”

Naho held out his hand to Littlefinger, "Lord Petyr, long time no see. ”

"Long time no see!"

"Are you two old friends?" Will asked.

"Yes. King Robert had given me permission to borrow usury from the Iron Vault. ”

"No, no, no, that's not usury, that's just a reasonable return from the Iron Vault. ”

"Did you get the money?" Will asked.

"No, the money that Lord Petyr has borrowed has not yet been returned to us, even with interest. Nahoe laughed.

"You're going to transfer King Robert's debt to us this time?"

"Lord Will, may you ask Lord Petyr, the rules of the Iron Vault have always been like this. As long as you want our assistance, you have to take on the old debts. ”

"No!" Will flatly refused, "Mr. Nahoe, your old debts please go to King Robert, they can't be counted on our heads." ”

"Will-sama......"

"This is a question that must not be discussed, Mr. Najo. Don't put the old rules on us, I used to be a Night's Watch Ranger, not the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. Look forward, Mr. Nahoe, not backwards. If you want to get the power to open banks on the entire continent, then go to Robert and the Westside to pay off the debts of Robert and the Westside themselves. ”

Nahoe said, "Lord Will, there has never been such a rule, and if you insist on this, I will not be able to account to the Council of Key Keepers of the Iron Vault, and the Iron Vault will not allocate the money you want." ”

"Then don't pay for it!" Will stood up and walked away.

Nahoe couldn't believe it, as Will's back disappeared into the shield hall, and he and his old friend Petyr Berry looked at each other.

"Lord Petyr, you need to help me explain to Lord Will that the rules of our Iron Vault have always been like this, and if Lord Will does not accept it, we will support new people. ”

Littlefinger laughed, "Mr. Nahoe, who are you going to support on the continent of Westeros? Support me, I will be happy to agree with you on the repayment of this debt and set a definite date." ”

Naho stammered.

Littlefinger poured red wine for Nahoe and said with a smile: "Mr. Nahoe, it is not difficult for you to support people in the Seven Kingdoms who are willing to admit the debts owed by Robert I and the Lannisters of the West, but these people are either Will's subordinates or have been exterminated by Will. ”

"No, it won't. The Dorns have always maintained their strength. "Nahoe has no confidence.

"You're right, because we're going to attack Dorne soon, hehe!" Littlefinger laughed. His severed hand was raised and struck twice on the table, making a tinkling metallic sound, as if to say, "Attack Dorne!"

*

A few days later, Winterfell.

Will and his party arrive in Winterfell to meet Her Majesty Shireen Baratheon.

His entourage included Petyr Berish, Arya Stark, Angay, the Arrow, the two captains of the Ash Guard, and the Ten Warriors, the Knight of Rosso, who had made a great contribution to the conquest of the islands of Skagus, Shanna the Elder of the islands of Skaggs, the general Wooden Shield, the sword king Tyron Ash, the savage king Mance Red, and Clankler.

In addition to the generals and knights, he was accompanied by thirty Night's Watch Rangers.

In the sky, two griffons were the first to arrive, landing on the remnants of Winterfell's tower and chirping, the sound of a clanging sound that alarmed the entire city.

In Winterfell, the little queen Shireen Baratheon was so happy to hear the griffon's cry that she was about to run out to meet Lord Will, but was stopped by her courtiers.

The queen was stopped by the Minister of Justice, Allister Florent. He was followed by Count Bryce Cullen, a young nobleman from the territory of Storm's End, the lord of Nightsong City, who had been chosen by Lanli Baratheon as one of the Rainbow Guards, but after Lanli was killed, he chose to surrender to Stannis, was captured in the Great Battle with the Golden Knights, and was later released.

He and his bastard half-brother Roland Storm traveled to Winterfell to swear allegiance to Shireen Baratheon, and received the treatment of a general from the royal court, leaving her to protect her.

After the Golden Knights released all of the Stormlands captives, the Golden Knights left King's Lands, and many of the nobles of the Stormlands came to Winterfell to pledge allegiance to the new Queen, Her Majesty Shireen.

The Tyrells of Riverlands also sent some of their nobles and generals to Winterfell to swear allegiance to the queen and hope to earn a seat in the royal court.

Although the king was young, he was in need of people, and with the help of some courtiers, she properly arranged for the arrival of these people, and satisfied the hopes of these hopeful people, after all, the kingdom needed a large number of bureaucrats such as generals and courtiers.

The Minister of Justice, Allister Florent, was the maternal uncle of Her Majesty's mother and her grandfather, and when he arrived in Winterfell, he quickly gained the trust of the little girl, and soon formed a new party headed by the nobles of the Stormlands, and controlled all the affairs around the king. - Although there is no actual government affairs.

Due to the fact that the former Prime Minister, Lord Will, had been too busy to come to Winterfell, Her Majesty Shireen had not approved the courtiers' plans to return to King's Landing.

Her Majesty Shireen's plan to return to King's Landing needs to inform Lord Will, he is the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Regent, and the guardian of the whole territory, and everyone cannot ignore the Prime Minister who is on the go and leave Winterfell and return to King's Landing.

In Winterfell, Caitlyn has no interest in government affairs, her husband has been disheartened by the death of her husband, and her heart is all about Sansa's marriage. After she hinted that the Starks would find a new marriage for Sansa instead of Lord Will, Winterfell came in droves, and all the nobles of the country who had children wanted to climb the Stark tree.

Chapter 0882 Political Situation: The Upstart vs. the Old Minister

In the main castle of Winterfell, Lord Will sees Allister Floren, the Minister of Justice standing next to Her Majesty Shireen, who surrendered to Kevon when he took control of King's Landing.

Allister, originally a vassal of Tyrell in Riverlands, had followed Lanli, then Stannis, Kaivon, and now Winterfell to follow Her Majesty Shireen. This person is the uncle of His Majesty Shireen's mother, and in addition to having no backbone, he still has some other skills.

Except for Allister, who is an old friend, many other courtiers Will are not very familiar with, most of them are from the former retainers of the Baratheon family in the Stormlands, Will saw the two sons of the Onion Knight in the crowd, the Onion Knight has several sons, and it is estimated that the other children have returned to the family territory of Stormfury Point.

Most of the old ministers of Stormlands around the king are young people, and the older generation of knights have almost died in the battle with the Golden Knights, and the new generation of heirs or heirs to the throne has begun to rise.

This group of people didn't have a good impression of Will, and Will could feel that.

The fearless Barristan Selmi, the captain of the Kingsguard, is a white-robed sword with distinct armor. Little Bran was heroic, more and more straight, and he was much taller. He is also the Iron Guard of the Imperial Forest, and the commander-in-chief of the capital's garrison.

Tass's virgin Brienne, and her follower and suitor Hale Hunt remained with her, and saw that both were white-robed, and it turned out that they had joined the Kingsguard. There are also two white-robed boys, both young and heroic, one is the former Blue Rite's orange rainbow guard Brett Cullen, and the other Will doesn't know at all, judging from his badge, this is the Cole family who has fled to the other side of the Narrow Sea with the rebels such as Blackfire, and they may have stayed behind when the Golden Knights returned to the other side of the Narrow Sea, and refused to go to the other side to fight with the Targaryens.

The Cole family was also a vassal of the Baratheon family, but later chose to side with the loser in the kingdom division war, and forced the entire family to go into exile across the Narrow Sea.

Because of Daenerys and Will's reconciliation, many of the nobles who had fled returned one after another, and those who could drill camp had already made their way to Winterfell and stood behind the new Queen.

It has to be said that none of the Stark family has a prominent political figure, from Eddard Stark to Caitlin, their political talents are all pale.

When Robb Stark led his army north, Sansa's eldest child was Sansa. Sansa's divorce from Will's marriage and her sister's 'forcible robbery' are strong on the surface, but she is severely traumatized physically and mentally, and her experience and ladylike education have absolutely nothing to do with the political talents required in this environment.

Looking at Bran Stark's figure and the heroism on his face, he knew that he was only obsessed with martial arts, and he must not care who came by the king's side, and who got any errands with the help of Lord Allister Floren.

Will met with Her Majesty in accordance with the protocol and introduced Her Majesty to the manager of the Iron Vault on the other side of the Narrow Sea: Mr. Naho Themitis.

Will said, "Your Majesty, most of King's Landing is in ruins and needs a lot of money to repair. When the royal courtiers returned to King's Landing, they also needed a large amount of money to buy food, supplies, and settle the people, and the iron vault could provide this money, and there was no need for the kingdom to pay interest, nor did the kingdom need to return the capital of the first money. ”

"And what are Mr. Najo's conditions?" Allister asked, frowning. He absolutely did not believe that the iron vault did not need to return the principal and interest, and there was no such good thing in the world. He suspects that Lord Will is in collusion with the Iron Vault.

"We only need to agree that the Iron Vault should open their bank branches in any city, including King's Landing, and encourage people to deposit their excess money in the bank for interest, and if they are short of money, they can borrow money from the bank as long as they have a guarantor and collateral," said Petyr Berish. ”

"Put our money in their bank?" Allister thought he had misheard, "when did the Iron Vault start asking people to lend them money? Isn't it a trap? We put our money in the Iron Vault, and then the Iron Vault man disappeared the next day. ”

Allister's words caused dozens of royal courtiers to stir slightly.

"From ancient times to the present, there is no reason to put money in other people's pockets. A nobleman chimed in.

"Yes, no matter how much of our golden dragon is, it must be kept in our own home, how can it be placed in someone else's cash cabinet. ”

"Yes, this kind of bank, I've never heard of it. ”

There was a lot of talk about the courtiers and bureaucrats from the Stormlands and the Riverlands.

Speaking of bank lending and storage, it has matured in Braavos, and in Westeros, there has never been a loan shark and related borrowers, and there has never been a matter of rich people putting their own money in the hands of others for safekeeping. Not to mention that ordinary people also put their spare money in the bank, which is too unsafe.

"Is Mr. Nahoe really the manager of the Iron Vault?" Allister asked.

Nahoe shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the sign of the Iron Vault on his chest. He looked at Will, and Allister doubted his identity, which was doubting Will's authority and character.

"Borrowing and storing are voluntary, Lord Allister, everything is voluntary. Saving money is not an executive order. Will was not angry, and said with a smile, "Mr. Nahoe is also the manager of the Iron Vault, and I have already discussed with him the way and conditions of our cooperation, Lord Petyr, the Minister of Finance, and we will discuss the details in detail at the Imperial Meeting." ”

"Lord Will, the country's taxation and government affairs should be discussed openly here. We are all royal courtiers and officials. A nobleman said.

"Who are you?" Will frowned.

"I am the new Sea Secretary, Sebastian Ellore. The nobleman said, in an arrogant tone.

House Ellore, one of the main nobles of Stormlands, has been a staunch supporter of House Baratheon.

"Who appointed you?" said Will, faintly.

"Appointed by the King, Lord Will!" Sebastian said, raising his voice.

"The appointment of any important minister must be voted on by a show of hands of the three important ministers, and the king has already appointed me as the hand of the king on the Five Fingers Peninsula, the regent, and the whole territory is guarded, and through the raven to send an order to the seven kingdoms, the seven kingdoms know that I am in charge of military, political, economic and diplomatic affairs, and have full powers to form the imperial council, without my approval, no imperial minister is officially appointed, and I do not know of your existence. Will said lightly.
