Silkworms, silkworms, filariads, mulberry trees, silk gold mines?

Fifteen minor nobles looked at each other. A few of them are family heirs, and a few are children.

The foreign wars in the West affected the aristocracy, both large and small. Some nobles are the patriarch personally led the troops to fight, and then they never returned, this time the magic mountain held in Ron City to hold the 'Silk Gold Mine' plan, there are several children heirs to participate.

After the magic mountain finished talking about his plan, the sixteen nobles, including Count Stella Ron, did not speak.

They all want to reject the Magic Mountain, but they all know the result after rejecting the Magic Mountain.

The Magic Mountain even dared to fight Duke Tywin, the key is that he still won, so in the Western Realm, who else does the Magic Mountain dare not fight?

"Your Excellency. A nobleman stammered, "My family has no gold mines, and is currently engaged in the spice trade, can we not plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms?" ”

"If you don't want to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms, then I'll arrange for someone to plant them. ”

“...... Lord Duke...... We have limited land, farmers grow potatoes, corn, wheat, all kinds of vegetables, on the slopes and hills, they graze cattle and sheep. ”

"Mulberry trees can be planted in the fields without affecting the cultivation of wheat and corn, and mulberry trees can be planted at wide intervals on deserted hillsides and hills, and when the mulberry trees grow, grass grows under the trees, and the grass can be harvested to raise cattle and sheep. ”

“...... Lord Duke......"

"Sir Sharp Diff, if you are too long-winded, I will drive your whole family out of the West, and let another family be the lord of Div. Demon Mountain said slowly.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense and depressing!

The other fifteen nobles were silent, like pins and needles!

In case the Demon Mountain gets angry and kills one with one punch, they will also waste the time of the Demon Mountain to fight sixteen punches.

“...... Lord Duke...... I'm sorry...... I obeyed my lordship's orders, and in the territory of Diff City, I vigorously planted mulberry and silkworms, and dug silk gold mines......" Beads of sweat rolled down Sir Sharp's forehead and the tip of his nose.

The magic mountain glanced at the audience, his eyes were not good, and the sixteen nobles were all trembling. The backs of several jazz were already wet with cold sweat. Their bones, their guts, their strength, their integrity, none of them were harder than Tywin!

The magic mountain looked at Count Ron, who realized that it was time for him to perform an oath of allegiance, but this kind of performance was a contract, and it would be against the will of the seven gods to not obey it in the future. Moreover, as long as the magic mountain does not die, then, if the Ron family repents, all the family members will die!

"Count Ron, in the name of the gods and the gods, old and new, and in the glory of House Clegane, I, Gregor Clegane, Minister of War of the Seven Kingdoms, Duke of Dragonstone, and Warden of the West, hereby solemnly ask you, will you swear allegiance to me, be my loyal subordinate for the rest of your life, and serve me with your courage, force, and wisdom? ”

Earl Ron slowly stood up, the eyes of the fifteen jazzes in the audience looked at him, the jazzes were shocked, the Lannister's Castle Rock is still there, Duke Tywin is rumored to be dead, but he still has children, although the heir to the throne does not know who it is now, the situation is complicated, but the magic mountain forced Earl Ron to swear allegiance to him when there are still descendants of the Lannister family...... This......

Ron faced the Magic Mountain, slowly knelt down on one knee, and swore allegiance to the Magic Mountain—

"In the name of the gods, old and new, and the glory of the House of Ron, Stella Ron hereby solemnly swears allegiance to Lord Duke Gregor Clegane and the House of Clegane, beginning with me, and that I will do everything in my life to follow Lord Duke Gregor Clegane, and remain loyal to him until death, both in peace and war. “

The Demon Mountain pulled out the Ice Giant Sword, the giant sword was unsheathed, the cold air was pressing, and the blade shot out a cold light.

The Ice Greatsword is taller than some of the jazzes present, and it is difficult for most of the jazzes present to hold the huge hilt with both hands, such a heavy sword, none of the sixteen jazzes present can swing it to meet the enemy, and the Demon Mountain holds the giant sword with one hand, as if holding a knife with ease.

The Ice Greatsword tapped on either of Ron's shoulders and on the top of his head, the greatsword was too wide to be slapped diagonally on the shoulder, otherwise the blade would slash Ron's neck.

Ron stood up after taking the oath, I have to say that the catalytic effect of the ceremony is obvious, after Count Ron got up, he naturally stood behind the magic mountain, and looked at the other fifteen nobles, as if he had the bearing of a dog fighting a man.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the name of the gods old and new, and in the glory of House Clegane, I promise you that there will always be a place for you at my table, and a place for you by the fire in winter. Your enemies are my enemies, and your friends are my friends. Are you, then, willing to swear allegiance to me, to be my loyal subordinate for the rest of your life, and to give your life for me if necessary?"

Under the gaze of the Demon Mountain, under the deterrence of the Ice Greatsword, the fifteen knights got up, knelt down on one knee, and took a wholesale oath.

After taking the oath, the Ice Giant Sword of the Demon Mountain was returned to the sheath, and the fifteen knights seemed to be hypnotized by the ritual, and after getting up, the eyes looking at the Demon Mountain changed, deference replaced defense, humility replaced distance.

*

A few days later, Lannisport.

In the hall of Earl Ode's main castle building, the Magic Mountain sat in the master's place, and on his right hand was Bancrof, the gray-robed scholar of Lannisport City.

The hall was full of nobles from the Western Realm, all big and small.

The Craich family stationed at the Greege Hall on the Esplanade on the southern coastal boundary of the western border...... The patriarch of House Craich was killed by Robb Stark's army at the Battle of Oxford, and both the heir and the second son were killed in the war......

In the south of the western border, the Swivel family is stationed at the junction of the western border and the riverlands...... Earl Schwiffer was Duke Tywin's chief logistics officer, and Earl's daughter Donna Schwivier was the wife of the Minister of Intelligence, Kevon Lannister......

The Lannister family of Castle Rock is represented by Martin Lannister, the youngest son of Kai Feng......

The Leverde family of the Golden Tooth City, which garrisons the eastern border of the West, is represented by the Earl's son Evan Lyford, because he is the only son, in the foreign war in the West, Count Leo left his son in the Golden Tooth City to prevent the bloodline from being interrupted......

The Marbran family of Imprint City...... Both the patriarch and the heir had been killed in the war, and the representative who came to the meeting was a sideline Sir Malbran......

The Westerlings of Crag Rock...... The delegate to the meeting was Renard Westerling. The House of Westerling is already the most powerful family in the northern Westlands, and there is no one......

The Faman family of Fairy City...... The Farman family was the first to pledge allegiance to the Mountain in King's Landing, and it was the same family that publicly declared betrayal during Tywin's lifetime and was stopped by a luthier sent by Duke Tywin, who played a song of Casterme's rainy season in Fairy City......

The Sarsfield family of Sarsfield City......

The Blax family of Horn Valley City......

The representative of the Chariot family in Silver Mountain City is Lady Chariot, who is one of the four most powerful families in the Western Realm who was the first to swear allegiance after the Magic Mountain returned to the West......

The Prester family of Feast City......

The Bamfert family of the Scourge......

The Leiden family in Deep Cave City, the second family to submit to the Magic Mountain after Lady Charlotte, and it was Lady Charlotte who persuaded the Layton family to submit......

There are also dozens of aristocratic representatives, all of whom are weaker minor nobles in the Western Realm than other families.

........................

The magic mountain glanced at the audience, and the audience was silent.

At the gate and outside the courtyard, there were the main infantry soldiers of the Magic Mountain, all of whom looked unrecognizable and had a vicious appearance.

The big-headed Chiswick and Tobert are natives of the port city who grew up in Lannisport City, and the big rogue leaders who swept through Lannisport came to Lannisport to return home.

The Magic Mountain's guards were in the hall, behind the Magic Mountain.

A group of hundreds.

Magic Mountain's gaze swept over the audience, and he didn't see a few familiar jazzes.

After two years of war in the West, most of the nobles in power in the Westside have been killed, and it will take time for the entire Westside to recover.

"Ladies and gentlemen, knights, generals. Magic Mountain stood up and spoke, which made his momentum even more compelling, "The former guardian of the Westside was Duke Tywin Lannister, and I received news that Duke Tywin was killed by the Brotherhood Without Banners at the Cross Inn in Riverlands, and the corpses of hundreds of Westside knights were all sunk into the mouth of Crab Bay, which is why we were unable to find the Duke's body and hold a farewell funeral for the Duke. Since neither the Prime Minister nor His Majesty the King have officially debunked the rumours or publicly denied them, I believe that those rumors are true. ”

The nobles of the western realm were all frightened.

Magic Mountain, who went to Riverland to participate in the strangulation of the Brotherhood without Banners, personally proved that Duke Tywin was dead, and that would be more than lucky.

With the dignity of Duke Tywin, it turned out that there was no place to be buried.

The nobles of the Western Realm are all in a gloomy mood!

As soon as Duke Tywin, the only one who can restrain the Magic Mountain, dies, who will the Magic Mountain be afraid of in the entire Western Territory?

"Lord Tywin is dead, and I am the new Warden of the West, appointed by His Majesty, and I am also the Duke of Dragonstone, King of the Crab Claw Peninsula. Magic Mountain stared condescendingly at the representatives of the nobles of the Western Realm, many of whom were younger teenagers, and most of the older generation and the knights of the current age had died in battle, and those who did not die were still fighting side by side with Randolph Tully's army in the Riverlands.

"The official position of Guardian of the West, the title of Duke of Dragonstone, and the title of King of the Crab Claw Peninsula were all conferred by Prime Minister Tyrion and His Majesty King Joffrey, and I have the right to stand here and speak to you, and I also have the right to call you to a meeting, and my power comes from His Majesty King Joffrey Baratheon. ”

The Magic Mountain is clear from the beginning, and first put yourself in the right position.

The nobles of the Western Realm have all shut their mouths!

They looked up at the beast-like magic mountain, and their hearts were very awkward.

Being reprimanded and overridden by a great villain is difficult for many jazz pure hearts to accept.

"At today's meeting, I want to say something very simple, but very important. First, from tomorrow, more than 400 handsome men recruited by the Countess of Chariot in the western frontier will go to the city-state of Valantis on the other side of the Narrow Sea on a large merchant ship. “

The vast majority of the knights were stunned when they heard the news for the first time!

The Magic Mountain did not pay attention to the surprise and bewilderment of the knights, he did not need them to understand, he just told them the truth: "The beautiful men of the west will go north along the Lorne of Valantis, into the valley of Lorne, and each man needs to marry a local woman who can grow mulberry trees, raise silkworms, pull cocoons, and spin and weave yarn and weave to return to the West, and we will build houses, silkworm houses, and weaving mills for these four hundred or so new families...... I have stipulated that the teenagers of the Westside should be returned home within six months. ”

The jazz looked at each other!

It was the first time that most of the knights had heard that the 'beautiful men' recruited by the Magic Mountain in the Western Territory were sent to the Lorne River valley on the other side of the Narrow Sea. Most of the young knights heard of the Lorne Valley for the first time.

And silkworm raising, planting mulberry trees, and peeling cocoons - most of the knights have heard of it for the first time. Everyone is very unfamiliar with this.

"There are many pirates in the Stone Steps Islands, but don't worry, I have prepared the naval formation to escort the ship, and they will sail from Dragonstone Island in large warships disguised as merchant ships to meet in the waters of Dorne's Plank Town. ”

Madame Charlotte raised her hand: "Lord Duke, I remember that you said that you would train the children of the western frontier to speak the language of the Lorne River Basin, learn the customs, people, and allusions of the Lorne River Valley in Lannisham, and send them after a month of training and study. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Chariot. But Captain Peggy Cole, a good friend of General Bighead, told me that the great merchant ship from Lannisport to Valantis had to travel nearly two months at sea. The two months on the boat coincided with teaching the children to speak the Lorne language and learning the customs, beliefs, geography and allusions of the Lorne people. ”

"I see!" said Madame Greot.

Magic Mountain said: "The second thing, the snow salt in the West, has been in charge of Sir Kevon Lannister in the past, but now Sir Kevon has gone to King's Landing Red Keep as a royal minister, and usually does not return to the West. The production, pricing, management, and sale of snow salt in the Westland are now the sole responsibility of Madame de Sallotte. ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke. "Since Mrs. Charlotte swore allegiance to the Magic Mountain, she received the first exquisite candy given by the Magic Mountain.

Sir Kevon's youngest son, Martin Lannister, moved, and the child did not choose to stand up, and his mouth was open, but he did not make any sound.

The Magic Mountain even dared to rape and kill the princess of the royal family, the prince dared to fall to death, and dared to have a war with the Duke of Tywin and won the victory, and forced the Duke of Tywin to wear black clothes to go to the desperate Great Wall, looking at his savage and brutal appearance, or what he said was what he said.

"The third thing is that the West will soon become the silk production area of Westeros, and our silk will be sold not only to the Seven Kingdoms, but also to the Midsummer Islands, the nine free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and further west to the world. I believe that planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms will make a lot of money, but you can pay for it, and in the future, you will be the partner boss of the 'Silk Trading Company' in the west, and we will invite a university scholar to do the finance of the Silk Trading Company, and then we will divide the money according to the proportion of capital contribution. Everyone here can invest, starting with 100 gold dragons and capping 10,000 gold dragons, who is willing to invest money?"

When the words fell, there were more than 100 large and small nobles present, and no one responded for a while!
