"Lord Will, I'd like to take a look at the Night's Watch town plan to get an estimate of how much money we need to provide you. Naho Dimetis said.

"No problem!" said Will, cheerfully.

The other party is a banker, so naturally the goods must be inspected first.

"Lord Will, you are the most straightforward customer I have ever met in business cooperation. ”

"I like to be direct, saving time for myself and my partners. ”

"Yes, but for a connoisseur like you, it's too powerful, and I've decided to pay you in installments. ”

"As you wish!" Will laughed.

"In the first phase, I will invest in the construction of your city, and at the same time, I need you to provide me with a piece of land free of charge, and I will build the first bank branch of the Iron Vault on this land: the Night's Watch Bank. Whether it is a copper star for a loan or a gold dragon for a deposit, our bank will undertake it. ”

"Do you want to take the hide mortgage?" Will asked.

"No!"

"For the tens of thousands of freedmen who have no money but goods, the greater profit is not money lending, but the exchange of things, or the collateral of money, which works in the city of the Night's Watch, and can help you build up credit and channels for borrowing and lending faster. ”

Naho pondered for a moment: "But we are in the banking business, if we do mortgage?...... Then it becomes a trade in goods. ”

"If there are too many things to pledge and the freedmen can't redeem them, the trade routes of Donghaiwang are always open for your goods. If you're afraid of trouble, just hand it over to me as a trade rewarder, and just wait for the money to be collected. ”

"No, I want to keep the business simple. ”

"Then you go to open the first bank in White Harbor, which is more than ten times stronger than opening a bank in the city of the Night's Watch, where the commoners and nobles are traded for money, circulating gold dragons, silver deer and bronze stars, and we here, tens of thousands of free people, ten thousand wolf forest mountains, thousands of aborigines, they are more accustomed to barter, Mr. Naho, you need a transition period. ”

Nahoe was silent again.

He was obsessed with the traditional business of the past thousand years and could not break out of it for the time being, and conducted the banking business in the form of a pawn, and he felt that the business of the bank would become more complicated, and eventually it would become a trade, not a pure bank.

Will said, "Let's go, Mr. Nahoe, let's take a look at my city plan first." ”

"Good!"

*

An 'open-top' carriage, on which Will and Nahoe stand, the coachman's whip exploding in the air, driving the carriage down a path that could be run by four horses. This is the road between villages, and the road between cities and cities, is the width of eight horses side by side.

"This is Mole Village!" Will said.

The Mole Village has been moved from the ground to the ground, and the houses are one after the other, all of which look exactly the same from the outside.

"The village has expanded tenfold from its original and is inhabited by the families of the aborigines, the night watchmen. ”

"It doesn't look that big! I remember that your Great Wall Legion has tens of thousands of people, and there can be a maximum of a few thousand soldiers in this place. ”

"The ground is three times bigger than the ground. Will laughed, "When winter comes, the snow on the ground is higher than that of people, and people cannot walk on the ground. So people live underground, like moles. ”

"Oh, then I'll have to go underground. ”

"Then go and see! The families of the soldiers living in Mole Village are all the families of the general, the centurion, and others. ”

"The families of the soldiers are not here?"

"Three miles behind the Mole Village, there is a military town, which is several times larger than the Mole Village. ”

The two men talked, and the carriage descended down the slope to the ground of Mole Village.

The underground roads are wider than the ground, people come and go endlessly, lights are hung at the gates of every house, and torches lit by fire oil are burning at intersections.

"Do road torches never go out?"

"It will go out, and half of the torch will be extinguished after ten o'clock in the evening. ”

"How much oil does this have to consume!"

"Fire oil? On the Wolf Forest Mountain Range, the fire oil comes out directly from the ground, and it can be used for thousands of years. ”

Behind Will and Nahoe, followed by Lord Will's guards and Mr. Nahoe's four swordsmen, their attendants rode horses, armored and long swords, and were majestic.

The carriage passed by the door of Da Jili's house, and under the door was a man in swordsman's attire, full of wine, and holding a small wine jug that could drink directly. Another young boy dressed as a knight stood beside him, looking at the drunken man on the ground with a grudge in his eyes.

The drunken man did not even lift his head at the sound of the carriage, but the young man turned his head and saw Will and Nahoe, and he was overjoyed, and ran up, and stood in the middle of the road, forcing the carriage to stop.

"Lord Will, you're back. The young man was amazed and delighted.

He is one of Will's personal bodyguards: Podrick Pine.

"I haven't been back to Castle Black yet, I'm taking Mr. Nahoe to see the construction of our city, Mr. Nahoe is a big benefactor and we need his money. Will laughed. He reached out to Podrick, who reached out to take Will's hand, and Will pushed slightly, and Podrick jumped into the carriage, and the three of them stood in the carriage and walked together.

The drunk on the ground at the doorway was, of course, James Lannister. He is Will's sword and is responsible for protecting Will's child here: Little Will, who is considered by Melisandre to be the future Lightbringer.

The carriage drove past the door of Big Gilly's house, and Jaime on the ground didn't look up, but leaned on the ground very comfortably, drinking to himself.

"Podrick, how's my little Will doing?"

Podrick was stunned and stopped, and he and Naho looked at each other, and suddenly made up his mind and shut his mouth.

This kid is too honest to even lie.

He didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to tell the truth, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.

Will laughed.

He wasn't worried about what Melisandre would do to Little Will, with Podrick and Jaime here, and his mother, Big Gilly, and a whole family spoiling the little one, but, if it was a good thing, Podrick must have said it. But if it's a bad thing, it's not possible.

"Where is Will's home?" asked Nahoe. He saw that both Podrick and the drunken man on the ground were wielding narrow swords, similar in style to his four swordsmen of Braavos.

The swordsmen of Braavos are known for their light and fast speed, and for the sake of speed and lightness, it is not appropriate for the sword to be too heavy or too long, which also forms that the swordsmen from Braavos are narrow swords.

And in the continent of Westeros, because of the war, the sword is mainly wide and long, and the main strength is wide and open. And Braavos's swordsmen, the main rangers and wanderers, value grace and aesthetics, and the narrow sword is more convenient.

Chapter 0879-2 Mole Village, Soldier Town, Night Watch City.

Behind Mole Village is the first real town, and there is a free trade market between it and the small town of Donghaiwang in Seal Bay.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Mole Village, and Podrick got out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Will and the others. The carriage continued south, and Podrick returned to the village on his own, back to Big Gilly's house.

The carriage arrived in the town half an hour later.

It's said to be a small town, but it's actually more like a small town.

It is mainly occupied by the families of the soldiers, and the buildings on the ground are more neat than those of the Mole Village, and the houses are also built higher, and the underground buildings are also excellent, with an underground passage connecting the Mole Village in front of it and the city of Donghaiwang in the east.

Nahoe was amazed when he saw the Soldier Town, and the regularity of the buildings and the underground drainage were remarkable. Although there are no high-rise buildings, the architecture on the ground is an eye-opener.

The whole underground is a city.

How much does it cost? If all this money is from Lord Will, then where does Lord Will get his money from? The Westlands Lannisters owe a lot of money to the Iron Vault, and this time Najo hopes to convince Lord Will to pay the Westlands with them. It doesn't matter if you can't pay it now, just count it on the head of the future kingdom.

This is also the usual trick of the Iron Vault - to raise up a new force, which must bear the debts of the Iron Vault before, even if it has nothing to do with the new power.

Coming out of the town, the carriage continued south.

Nahoe already had a deep understanding of Will's big city planning. Behind it is a real big city: the City of the Night Watch. It has a living space that can accommodate 100,000 people, and both underground and above-ground buildings are still being built. The inhabitants of the Night Watch are free people from outside the desperate Great Wall and free people from the Wolf Forest tribe, and the retirement homes of the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion, and the wounded and disabled, will all live here.

One of the red, majestic buildings caught Nahoe's eye.

"What kind of building is that?"

"The Firemancer Headquarters Building. ”

"Fireman?"

"Yes, pyromancers who study the substance of wildfire, of course they prefer to be called wise men. ”

"Wise man?"

"Yes!"

"How many firemancers are under Lord Will. ”

"There are about 1,000 of them at the moment. The firemancer does not live here, on the east side of the sea, there is a firemancer town, which concentrates all the firemancers and firemancer apprentices on the mainland, as well as the firemancer school. ”

"This building is sitting idle here?"

"Of course not, there lived the great wise man Adonis and his assistants. The headquarters building is mainly used for the study of theories and the storage of academic materials, as well as diplomacy with great wizards of other faiths. ”

As the carriage moved on, various hotels appeared, and Nahoe was pleasantly surprised to see the hotel from Braavos. It's an open city, anyone can come to the city to do business, tens of thousands of residents, and the daily consumption is a huge number. A variety of stores have opened, and a lot of goods fill the shelves inside the store.

*

The next day, Nahoe discovers a city within a city.

On the third day, the special city walls, but not high, the majestic gates, the huge rock-made walls, the door frame of the gate was decorated with a narrow black sword carved with three large characters: Holy Judgment City!

"What does that mean?" said Naho, pointing to the words "Holy Judgment City."

"Any sin, strife, right and wrong, can come here in the future to seek God's protection and receive the most just judgment. ”

"What god is so powerful?"

"God of Time and Space!"

"What god does Lord Will believe in?"

"God of Time and Space!"

Naho smiled, "It's the first time I've heard of the God of Time and Space. ”

"All gods are in time and space, no life can escape the footsteps of time, and everything is eternal in time and space. By understanding the god of time and space, we can understand the past and present lives of the world, the sun, moon and stars, and the rise and fall of things. ”

Nahoe made a request, "Lord Will, can I enter the Holy Judgment City and have a look?"

"No, unless you join the Inquisition and become a believer, or you have something to decide. Will said lightly.

"Oh, who's in control of the Holy Judgment City?"

"God of Time and Space!"

Nahoe shrugged his shoulders, knowing that he had asked in vain, and Lord Will would not say, so well, he wouldn't ask for the time being.

"Lord Will, my bank branch is going to be built in the center of the Vigil City, can you see it?"

"As you wish!" Will almost responded to Nahoe's request.

Nahoe wondered if Lord Will was one of the Iron Vaults.

"Can I build a bank branch anywhere I like?"

"Anywhere on the Night's Watch territory, if you like it, we'll cover it!" Will laughed, "Since Mr. Naho is not afraid of the impact of the strange spirits, and is willing to use the money to help me promote the flow of money and improve the living standards of the people in the Night's Watch territory, I can't find a reason to refuse." It's just that if the gentleman doesn't want to add collateral to this project, I'll do it!"

"Will sama do it?"

"Yes. When the money you invest comes in, my money will be withdrawn, and I will do the business of mortgage pawns, and I will open pawn shops in every small town, in many small towns, and also in the vigil city. The people's animal skins, weapons, jade, family heirlooms, anything can be mortgaged for money. ”

"Nope. No, no, no!" Naho said hurriedly, "Lord Will, we have opened a bank in the Iron Vault here, and there can be no other bank of any nature for at least twenty years. ”

"My pawn shop is not a bank. ”

"But it's similar to a bank, and it threatens the bank's business. When people find it easier to exchange money for bartering and pawning, they won't come to my bank. ”

Will laughed: "Mr. Naho, either your bank doubles as a pawnbroker and exchanges for goods, or I will do it." ”

"No, no, Lord Will, you can't do that. ”

"That's it, the matter is no longer discussed, either you do it or I do it. You can't afford not to do it!" Will said flatly.

This was the first time he had a disagreement with Najo, of course, subject to Will's opinion, and it was absolutely irrefutable.

Naho was stunned for a long time and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

He would never tolerate any business that would threaten the bank's business. When the contract is signed, Will will know how demanding Nahoe is.

However, the first generation of capitalists was like this: monopoly was the only goal, and the six relatives did not recognize it.

*

"What kind of city is that?" Nahoe found another city within a city. He felt a little familiar.

"A branch of the Black and White Courtyard!" Will laughed, "It's just that they're not called the Black and White Courtyard in Westeros, but the Strangers, the first branch of the Facelesss, the Stranger City! a very small castle. ”

Naho was speechless in disbelief and shock.

He seemed to understand why Maiin, the smiling grim reaper in the Black and White Courtyard, would be Daenerys' personal bodyguard.

Lord Will's influence. He went deep into the Black and White Courtyard of the Faceless.
