Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 15 I, Jon Bright, am a profiteer?

It's not that there are no business opportunities in the northern border, but the people in the northern border are somewhat...

To say that they are rebellious, like running wolves, is better to say that they are a bit stubborn, even more stubborn than donkeys.

Just look at the attitudes of the great nobles in the northern border. In order to expand the size of the bright caravan, Jon sent an invitation to cooperate with all the nobles in the northern border.

result……

It hurts, it hurts too much, Jon feels the burning pain on his face, and feels a little frustrated.

The northern border is too big, making ice cream, sea salt, fried acorns, fried hazelnuts, fried pine nuts, and selling fruit wine requires a horse-drawn caravan.

More than 2000 people from the Flint clan joined, and it only solved the basic labor and raw material collection. Jon was full of money, and he had three horses. The Flint clan had two horses and a dozen cows.

Many of the dozen or so cows are dairy cows, which need to be made into cheese, and only three bulls are barely usable, and they are barely used. This kind of cattle with northern buffalo blood has never been fanned. They have a fiery personality and can't pull a cart at all, Jon There is no way to use the power of the druid... so I gave up.

As a knight of light, I have to leave a horse to fill the facade and ride. The direwolf Xiaobai is a wild wolf king after all, and because of the large amount of cargo, one horse will be exhausted, so two horse-drawn carts are needed to form a tour. Caravan to sell, that is to say...

Jon has only a caravan of two horses to use, full of business sense and goods, but can't find a franchisee...

Yes, the nobles in the north are very disdainful of doing business, and they even sneered at Jon's invitation, except Eddard Stark wrote a letter of encouragement and sent a hundred gold dragons plus twenty men and two horses In addition, only the descendant of the Red King, the ambitious Earl Roose Bolton of the Bolton family who has never forgotten his blood of the Red King is very interested...

As the blood of the ancestors, the Bolton family has the longest history in the history of the North. It has been fighting against the Stark family for thousands of years. After they were defeated thousands of years ago, they declared their surrender to Stark. The rebellious, wild and deep-bred Bolton family has the custom of skinning. They even defeated the leader of the Stark family several times, and flayed the leader Stark's skin to make a cloak...

And Roose Bolton's willingness to join Jon's caravan also made him a little dumbfounded. The skinning skills passed down by the Bolton family are not much used now, and their skinners turned to skinning seals for sale. The keen Earl Roose Bolton Realized that the Bright Caravan might be a potential big customer. After all, there are too many seals in Seal Bay, and these skins are very valuable to sell to the south. The merchant ships of the Lannister family, a big customer of the Bolton family, like to collect seal skins... …

Originally, in Jon's vision, the caravan would be fully loaded with goods and sold in various parts of the northern border, exchanging food, copper coins, and silver deer with the territorial people, and exchanging fur and mountain goods with the Shanlin clan. Jon had an ambition in his heart. When the scale is enlarged, it can monopolize the pine nuts, hazelnuts, acorns, fur and mountain products industry in the entire northern border, and turn the clans in the wolf forest and other mountain forests into raw material suppliers for bright caravans. They, step by step...

So, after Jon confidently sent invitations to all the nobles in the north to join, except for Winterfell, he only got a reply from the Bolton family, offering him fifty golden dragons and sending a team of carriages to help sell them, but the premise is that All the furs on Jon's side, including seal skins, walrus skins, beaver skins, direwolves, and dire fox furs, need to hire skinners from the Bolton family to handle them.

Tanning leather is a technical job, and cooperation is of course possible. Unfortunately, Jon is very afraid of Roose Bolton, the blood of the Red King. The Bolton family can now recruit two to three thousand warriors. Not equal, it will be annexed soon, not to mention that Bolton is very ambitious...

In the end, Jon could only rely on a caravan of carriages to sell the products he produced. Fortunately, the harvest was really good...

After ten days, they actually harvested goods worth hundreds of gold dragons, most of which were furs. There were too many furs in the northern border, such as dire foxes, direwolves, bears, direwolves, direwolves...

The best seller is fruit wine. Although blueberry wine is easy to brew, not everyone knows how to make it. The blueberry wine from the Bright Caravan is sweeter, and it immediately opened up the situation among the night watchmen. Jon exchanged a lot of good things from the night watchmen. Fur, boar teeth, wolf teeth, etc... and sell these things to White Harbor.

Unlike Lannistra's shit which is all golden, there are still some quick-witted mountain clans in the northern border, for example, the Wolfwood clan of Shudun's mother. There are three relatively large families in the Wolfwood clan, namely the Tree Trunk Clan, The Tree Clan, the Branch Clan... As the name suggests, they all have a deep blood relationship with the Children of the Forest, and they are also loyal supporters of the Stark family, among whom there have been many Night Watchmen soldiers.

Shuton persuaded his mother to turn the three members of the Wolfwood clan into Jon's partners, providing acorns, pine nuts, hazelnuts, and various mushrooms, and helping to sell goods... A freight carriage was produced, the Bright Caravan, and it finally looked like it.

During this period of time, Dawn Castle became more and more prosperous, and the black-nosed elder simply moved most of his tribes to Dawn Castle. There were two to three thousand people gathered here, and there would naturally be boats. Merchant ships from the port also come here to buy goods, forming a small port, Liming Port.

Today, it is a bit lively here. A ship from the south came to collect furs. The ship stayed in White Harbor for a while, and at the same time, it carried Robb Stark who came to deliver gold coins and manpower, and sneaked on The ship followed Arya Stark who came with her.

"Jon!"

Seeing Jon, who was plainly dressed and cooking salt with some mountain clansmen on the shore, Robb Stark raised his hand and shouted, he is a typical northern face, with slightly curly brown hair and amber eyes, Inherited Mrs. Stark, with a high nose bridge, although he was very excited, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and just waved to Jon.

"Brother Jon!"

On the contrary, it was Arya Stark, the little girl with ball hair and black eyes, who couldn't wait for the sampan to dock, so she jumped onto the shore by herself. Her black eyes were agile and light, Looking left and right, I saw that there are now three to four thousand people gathered, there are tents and fences everywhere, goods are gathered, and Fort Dawn is in full swing.

"Bright ice cream, miss, you want to try one!"

The flexible members of the Flint clan were mobilized to sell ice cream, which was also requested by Jon. During this period of time, Dawn Port was very lively, and even a merchant ship from Pentos arrived, and Bright Ice Cream quickly opened up the market in the northern border. The cheap price is only half a copper plate, and the delicious "Guangming" brand ice cream is now the best-selling product of the Guangming Caravan besides fruit wine. During this time, the salmon began to swim, and the shore was full of salmon, so Jon introduced many new specialty varieties.

Blueberries and berries, raspberries are just in time, sweet and delicious.

Hazelnut ice cream dotted with sturgeon caviar and salmon roe, as well as strawberry ice cream, blueberry ice cream, mixed jam flavor ice cream, and even a fruit wine flavored ice cream for the night watchmen...

If you don't have money, you can exchange wild boar teeth, wolf teeth, fur, or even some acorns, pine nuts, and hazelnuts. These things are everywhere in the northern border, and the price will be different if they are sold in the south.

The tribesmen of the Flint clan turned into salesmen and began to sell around. They can be seen in the towns of the Amber family, the Karstark family, and the Bolton family that are closer, and the salesmen of the Wolfwood clan The staff took these things to the west of the northern border, and sold the farthest to Bear Island...

It is said that a little girl from Xiongdao likes it very much.

Anyway, this thing can't be put away, the weather in the north is cold, and the temperature in midsummer is extremely low, so it won't melt if it is wrapped in a box.

Arya moved her index finger, and her beautiful eyes widened: "Oh my god, sturgeon caviar ice cream? What kind of taste is this!?"

"Beautiful lady, you can try it!"

The salesman of the Bright Caravan thoughtfully took out one and gave it to Arya. In the northern border, hazelnuts and pine nuts are everywhere. I have implemented a concept, I don’t want my children to be tied to wolves, and the taste of ice cream will never be forgotten after eating it once. If someone doesn’t want to buy it, you can give him one, but the second one will cost money...

At the same time, let them look for the bright card!

Arya took it unceremoniously, took a sip beautifully, and instantly widened her eyes.

"Oh my god, it's delicious..."

Arya couldn't find words to describe it. She pursed her lips and savored carefully. The taste of caviar mixed with ice cream was bursting between her lips and teeth. The taste was really...

"Miss Arya!"

"Lord Robert."

Stone Tower and Booker have long been informed that Robb Stark will personally lead personnel and supplies to help Jon, and now they are welcoming Jon on the shore, who is busy teaching the people of the Flint clan how to cook salt without wearing shoes. Eun also naturally saw her, and several people came up to meet her.

"Jon!"

Robb Stark also went ashore and looked around. He was really taken aback by the bustling scene. The mountain clans made the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and various berries they picked into sauces. Some were cutting ice with a file. There were more than a dozen large pits in the fence on the bank. The Flint clan and some Langlin clan members who came to help were cooking salt...

Vendors are selling goods back and forth, and there are more than a dozen sampan boats transporting goods in the simple port on the shore.

A dozen sampans! ?
White Harbor, the most prosperous in the north, only handles one or two hundred ships every day. When did Seal Bay become so lively?

Farther away, there are several mysterious houses, in Lime Burning and Qiaoshi, where Jon studies cement and burns mirrors and glass. Mirrors and glass in this world are almost meaningless. , It will be a huge profit, but unfortunately there is no helper now, and Jon himself is also a two-tone, so he can only feel it.

Although the entire Fort Dawn is just wooden houses, stone houses, and animal skin tents, the scale of personnel and industry and commerce is really scary in a place like Seal Bay.

Even placed in the entire northern border, it is amazing.

Jon came out as a pioneering knight, but in just over a month, he has formed this scale! ?
"Rob, Arya!"

Jon also smiled and stepped forward to hug them. Jon rubbed Arya's ball head and said with a smile, "Why is Arya here?"

"Oh, Brother Jon, you don't know..."

"When your bright caravan sold the ice cream to Winterfell, the taste of that ice cream was really amazing, the Old Gods and the Seven Gods...you don't know how I got the last ice cream, Sansa took the most ice cream because she was her sister, and Dad also took a lot when he learned that eating ice cream can relieve the abdominal pain after eating meat..."

Arya babbled like a little angry youth without mentioning that she sneaked out. Jon was dumbfounded when he heard it, wondering if our Bright ice cream could also have the function of unblocking the stomach?
Looking at the clansmen who were peeling the thousand-year-old ice, picking their boogers and toes casually while peeling, Jon hurriedly dragged them to Dawn Castle, the old gods and the seven gods are on top, the northern border lacks green Vegetables, the aristocrats eat too much meat, eating ice cream to unblock the intestines is doing a good thing, right! ?

I, Jon Wright, am definitely not that kind of profiteer!
