Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 171 Lanna who pretended to sleep
Chris Darrow, the head of the evil spirit mercenaries, is right, owning Tyrosh is equivalent to owning a chicken that lays golden eggs.

So when Rhaenyla "peacefully returns" Tyrosh, she has to actually control a part of the city's lifeblood—tax revenue, including stationing an army.

Frankly speaking, Tyrosh is much more expensive than most territories in Westeros, and the chain of contempt of the trading city-state people is actually very reasonable.

Most of the "barbarian" lords of the Seven Kingdoms are not that rich.

In the main story, Triston Sunderland, the lord of the Three Sisters Island, "needs every golden dragon" because "the seven sons all want to be knights", and the expenses of war horses, decent dresses and armors
Triston would sell the Onion Knight to Queen Cersei Lannister for a pot of Lannister gold, and Triston bemoaned the high price of the horses, telling Davos that a decent set of plate armor and Chainmail needs to sell a lot of fish.

Therefore, many nobles from the Seven Kingdoms will secretly smuggle or do some dirty business.Cholmon the Great Bear was wanted by Stark for trading slaves...

Tyrosh is just a city, but in Westeros, there are many castles, but there are only five real cities!King's Landing, Oldtown, Lannisport, Gulltown and White Harbor,
All seaports without exception.

The prosperous trading seaport cities brought a lot of tax revenue and population, and the lords who owned these seaport cities also had income far exceeding that of other nobles.

The Hightower family in Oldtown is richer than Tyrell; the Manderly family, which controls White Harbor and owns silver mines, has far more financial resources than Stark; the Grafson family in Seagull Town is certainly richer than Arryn, and can even Standing on the opposite side of the lord in the war.

Financial power and appeal are the two major factors that determine the strength of the direct military power of the nobles in Westeros.

Territories with more agricultural output have more income, so the river bend nobles have a larger population and more money!

But even in the farming era, fields such as mineral mining, industrial production, and commodity circulation are still more efficient economic methods than agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.For example, the Frey family at the river ferry crossed the river. Because of their foresight and foresight, they insisted on investing for decades to build a bridge connecting the two banks of the Green Fork River. Therefore, the bridge fee made the Twin River City the river territory with the most income.

King's Landing is the largest city in Westeros, and it is the financial foundation for maintaining the royal family's strong financial resources. It is precisely because of this that the Targaryen family can still firmly hold the royal power for more than 100 years after losing the deterrence of the dragon.

If Tyrosh has been providing financial income for Targaryen, the ambitious people in Westeros will only be terrified!
The terrain of the Red Castle does not have many defensive advantages, and there is a magic dragon in hand during the initial construction, and it will not increase the security level at any cost like the Black Heart King repaired Harrenhal!Although King's Landing has rich income, its defense expenditure is also relatively high.

When there are dragons, it is necessary to support the wild dragons in the dragon lair and on the dragon mountain, and to maintain the dragon guard system. Some kings like to travel around and hold hunting and tournaments... When there are no dragons, they are even more trembling. Without golden robes, flea nests are always open There is a possibility of explosion.

So Rhaenila would rather give up some benefits at this time, but also take Tylosi, even if she is not the actual controller, so what, unify black and white, she has the final say here!
"Return all this wealth to the King's Landing treasury as soon as possible," Rhaenira said, "Just keep a part of it!"

Only after the rebuilding of Tyrosh can there be economic benefits, and it is an investment that is sure to make a profit.

"Rhaenila, what are you talking about?" Lanal smiled playfully, "Are you still asleep!", while gently stirring Rhaenila's golden and silver hair with her fingers.

They are now lying in a requisitioned Tyroshi noble mansion, and the dragon is resting in the square next to it.

Rhaenyla suddenly turned her head to the side, stared at Lanal's purple eyes and said, "If, I mean, if Velaryon wants to oppose my rule...and form an alliance with others, will you be my enemy?"

Lan Naer looked at her squarely, and answered firmly, "No."

"Vaghar will not be your enemy as long as I am not dead."

"Even if your mother and younger brother's Melias and Haiyan want to fight me?" Rhaenyla said in surprise.

"And the other vassals of the Seven Kingdoms are against me?"

"I will not mount the dragon saddle to fight against you." Lannall touched her pretty face, "Don't think too much, no one would be so bold as to oppose Targaryen."

"Maybe..." Rhaenila sighed softly, and lay back down again.

In front of Lan Naer, she can let go of her guard for the time being, but she also doesn't understand why Lan Naer defends her so firmly.

Including secretly competing with the family, never running to the Red Castle, hoping to seek the favor of the father.

Marrying a daughter is actually a way to improve the status of the family, marrying with the nobles.

Either in exchange for the fleet or soldiers, Targaryen generally digested it internally, because what he got in exchange would never be better than a giant dragon.

It's still a relationship of interest. The queen mother, Emma Ayrin, is the childhood sweetheart of the father and the king. The two have a deep relationship, but the marriage also has a purpose - for the army in the valley that is comparable to the northern border.

In the age of no dragons, there is no way. Daenerys was sold to the horse king in exchange for forty thousand roaring warriors.

In fact, Lannaar has a lot of advantages, inheriting Valyria's beautiful face comparable to a god, and at the same time possessing dragon's blood, she is the best spouse that the Targaryen family can choose.

Uncle Wang Daemon Targaryen actually has a lot of thoughts about Lannaar, which is human nature.

The families of dragons had always been attracted to one another in this way, Aegon the Conqueror, Jaehaerys the Rened King, Viserys Father and Emma Queen Mother.

She held the delicate little hand that was playing tricks on her head, and asked softly, "This is your first battle as a dragon knight, are you still used to it?"

Although they are dragonriders, they are only young girls after all.

Burning the city, killing people... Rhaenyla didn't feel strange, but Lannar was different. When Vagarhar was raging on Bloodstone Island and Tylosi Port, would he traumatize his young heart?

Understanding what Rhaenyla meant, Lanal was a little annoyed, "I'm also a dragon species. My love for the sky and controlling dragons to kill people are all engraved in my blood. I've never heard that the Valyrian Dragon King This one who gave up hegemony..."

"However, thank you for your concern." At the end, a slightly green smile bloomed.

Lanna straightened Rhaenyla's collar, and comforted softly, "What are you worried about? You have done enough...

Without you, even if we win the war on the Stepstone Islands, my father's fleet will suffer heavy losses, and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms will not be so peaceful. "

Rhaenila shook her head, the Three Cities Alliance was only so easy to talk to because it would suffer more losses if it continued the war.

Tylosi is not so easy to get, it is estimated that the disputed land will become a new battlefield.

Besides... a lot of trade prince nobles want dragon eggs and dragons now, right?Dragonstone had to be heavily defended.

"Have you found out that your father, Koles, is secretly matching me and your brother?"

Corles always sent Lannino to her side, saying that he was protecting the princess and cultivating the feelings of the Long family.

As a result, she was embarrassed, and Lanino was also a little embarrassed, but the parents of the two families had no intention of objecting.

"You..." Rhaenyla looked at Lanna, but she was already asleep, breathing lightly.

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep too." Rhaenila closed her eyes, and Lanna still looked calm, but there was a slight movement under her eyelids.
