Gon'thor: "My lord can make Valyrian steel swords!?"
Werther pointed to his head with his finger: "I have a dragon, I have magic, and it will be a matter of time to make a Valyrian steel sword, but it is very time-consuming to make, and I can only make one a year. "
Every time a Valyrian steel sword is made, a person's soul must be sacrificed to enchant it, and Werther has to suppress his greed.Moreover, if the output is high, it is worthless. If one is produced a year, the profit of the auction may be more than that of producing one hundred a year.
After Gunthor was surprised, he took it for granted. Werther Baratheon was no different from Valyrian Dragon King back then. Why couldn't they make Werther.
"Master Werther, some time ago, messengers also came from Rhys City. They learned that you went to King's Landing. The bankers and merchants decided to organize a group to visit Tyroshi in a month's time."
Witte: "One month? At that time, some of our officials hadn't come back yet, and they were going to kill us both."
Gunthor: "I couldn't be happier to see a thriving Tyrosh."
Werther: "You let the workers start emptying the warehouses in the port. The supplies will start arriving soon. I'm going to ride a dragon to Braavos, and they owe me a lot of money!"
Chapter 170 Six Travels and the Tully Family
In the past few days, Witte discovered a very serious problem in his communication with Gunsor and ordinary officials of the Stone Step Islands. Their thinking mode is completely different from his own!
On the continent of Westest, the common people are basically illiterate, and only a few who have made meritorious service and become knights can have leisure time to learn words.
For example, Sir Davos, the onion knight, was assigned some small-scale combat and intelligence delivery work before, and he was fine.As his position in the Royal Fleet became higher and higher, his sons received better education and were able to do their jobs when he made his fortune, but he himself faced more and more problems. He was illiterate and could not read military information. problem is highlighted.Now Stannis' daughter, Shireen Baratheon, is teaching him how to read every day.
Or they can work in the lord's house, and after being trusted, the next generation can learn to read along with the children of the lord's family. Most of these people become the lord's stewards or other affairs officers.
However, the literate nobles were influenced by traditional education since they were young, and they still maintain the same way of thinking about the development of their territories for hundreds of years.And Witte's idea is to release the maximum productivity of these civilians, and how much they can earn depends on themselves.
This led to a serious problem. All the work arranged by Werther changed in their hands.
For example, the large reservoirs planned and built on various islands are intended to provide water for future production, followed by domestic water.As a result, all the lords agreed with the suggestion of planning the cistern very much, and praised Witt for being wise. When choosing the location of the cistern, they all chose near their own castles. The biggest role became to store bath water for their own homes!
Werther was fuming with anger when he saw the report submitted by Gunthor!Gunthor himself is like this, and so are the people of the other Stone Step Islands, even Garlan Tyrell's Bloodstone Harbor is planning to do the same!It's better to be a good apprentice Ashara, she doesn't care about her fief Gem Island, and hands it over to Werther for management.
Werther pointed to the blueprint on the document: "Count Gunsor, your Cancer Fort will become a station for sailing south in the future, and countless ships going south will stop in your territory. This reservoir will store bath water for your family? "
Gunsor was very puzzled: "I am the lord of Cancer Fort. The facilities on the island should serve me first. If commoners want to plant trees, they can buy water from me, shouldn't they?"
Werther wanted to slap him very much, so he patiently explained to him: "The Stone Steps Islands don't have much land. I told you about your Cancer Castle a long time ago that you need to plant a lot of fruit. Tylosi City needs to build a lot of winemaking workshops. , you don’t have enough fresh water on your island to grow enough fruits, how will you meet Tyrosh’s winemaking requirements in the future? Do I still have to go to Dorne to buy fruits?”
According to Gunsol's actions, how productive is his island?It costs money to buy water, so ordinary people who plant fruit trees will buy less. After a few years, the trees will definitely grow thin and short!They are unwilling to give a little more resources to civilians. This is the thinking that has been solidified by the nobles of Westeros for thousands of years.
And they did nothing wrong, because that's true of everyone in this day and age.Even as the Duke of the Stone Step Islands, Werther can't take care of their fief affairs, but this affects the economic planning of the entire Stone Step Islands area.
Werther: "Gunthor, do you believe in my ability to make money?"
Gunsol: "Of course I do! We have known each other for more than ten years, and I have absolute trust in you. No matter which family does business with you, it will definitely make a fortune."
Werther: "That's good. I'll write a notice later. After the other lords come back, you pass the notice to them and ask them to stop the construction on the territory first. After I return from Braavos, I will write A copy of "The Development Outline of the Stone Step Islands" is distributed to everyone, so that everyone can make money together!"
Gunsor just followed the business before, and could not understand the process of each of Werther’s business formulation. Now he can personally witness the start from scratch, and he is very excited: "Master Werther, don’t worry, I will explain the detailed situation to each lord, and guarantee Let everyone fully support Wirt-sama's decision. But shall we continue to buy the raw materials for construction?"
Werther: "Buy! I just changed the plan, and the procurement of raw materials will not be affected. Help me get the parchment. I need to write some formal letters."
A total of several documents were drafted this time.The first is what the two said just now, asking the lord of the Stone Step Islands to suspend construction and wait for Wit to write out a formal development outline before proceeding with construction. Gunsor will use this document to persuade other lords.
The second copy was sent to King's Landing to the three Baratheon brothers. After two months, the three of them would be able to make the Valyrian steel weapons. Werther asked them to come to Tyrosh to pick them up.At that time, Tyrosh City will hold an auction to auction a Valyrian steel sword and the distribution rights of other Tyrosh products, so that the three of them can help promote more publicity.
The third was written to the cities of Lys and Volantis, and Werther obtained King Robert's authorization to send official diplomatic personnel to Tyrosh.
The full title of Werther is: Duke of Tylosi of the Stone Step Islands, Guardian of the Straits.The Stone Step Islands represent Werther's fiefdom, and the Duke of Tylosi shows the capital of the fiefdom and Werther's title.The Guardian of the Strait represents Werther's military command.
In peacetime, the title of "Guardian" is an honorary title. In wartime, it directly shows its military command power. When resisting enemy invasion, it can command the troops of other families, avoiding disputes over command power. .
There are three levels of guardianship. The lowest one is the guardianship of the Prince's Pass, which now belongs to the Fowler family.The tallest is King Robert's Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms.In the middle are the original four guards in the southeast, northwest, and now there is another guard of the straits belonging to Werther, who is authorized by the king and the highest military commander in the Stone Step Islands.
As long as the Guardian King of the Seven Kingdoms is not around, Werther will have absolute command in the war that takes place on the Stone Step Islands.
Foreign diplomats stationed, Storm's End is not eligible, Tyrosh is.
After finishing the three documents, Werther signed his name and stamped his seal. Gunthor carefully put it into his purse, and suddenly leaned against Werther's ear and whispered: "Master Werther, during the time you have been away, Many knights and soldiers came to Dorne, and many of them did not wear Dorne uniforms."
Werther: "I know, it was sent by Prince Oberon, and they were all given to Nymeria to command."
Gunsor: "According to my understanding of the Dorne inheritance system, the number of knights and soldiers accompanying Madam Nymeria has far exceeded the number she should have."
"That's good, I can protect the safety of my two wives when I'm away." Werther didn't have time to think about what Oberon was thinking, and his mind was full of how to build Tyrosh.
After simply arranging the affairs of Tyrosh, Werther stood on the head of Oda Viying and flew along the coast to the north of the continent of Essos to get money from the Sea King of Braavos.
The dragon has a broad back and is relatively stable. During the day, Werther uses the magic ice as a table and chair, and carefully writes the development outline.This time I said that I would come up with a development charter. All the vassals of the Stone Step Islands are waiting for Werther's arrangement. Don't be ashamed if you haven't finished it when you come back.
~~~
Lysa Tully and her party were traveling in a carriage. She was afraid of her frail and sickly son being bumped, so the convoy moved very slowly, and it has only now reached the Crossroads Inn.
At the entrance of the inn, the three carriages of Lysa Tully and her party bearing the flag of House Arryn in the Vale were just about to stop, and dozens of Tully family knights in silver trout cloaks had already surrounded the carriage tightly.
"Open the carriage door!" Brynden Tully shouted. Several knights pulled the groom off the horse, some opened the carriage door, and others searched the carriage carefully.
"Black Fish" Brynden Tully had resigned from Bloodgate Castle before, and rode back to the riverland alone. On the way, he met the family knights who were ordered to look for Lysa Tully.
He thought about it for a long time. The king ordered the beheading of his niece for such a scandal, but it also related to the honor of the Tully family. As a member of the Tully family, he had an obligation to help the family at this time.Of course, it was not to help Lysa Tully escape, but to find a way to plead with the king to save Lysa Tully's life, so that the Tully family would look better.
"Who is there outside! My son is the Duke of the Valley!" A woman's voice came from inside the carriage.
Hearing the familiar voice, Brynden Tully stepped into the carriage in two steps. Seeing that Lysa Tully was still breastfeeding her seven-year-old son, he shook his head to himself, turned around and jumped off the carriage again, asking the people around him knight:
"Who's in the carriage?"
Knights: "Three coachmen, six knights of the valley, four maids and lots of clothes."
Not finding Littlefinger, Brynden Tully turned to the carriage and shouted:
"I'm Brynden Tully, and now I'm taking you back to Riverrun. You three, get on your carriage and set off!"
The knights hurriedly set up three carriages and drove towards the River Avenue.
Lysa Tully put on her coat quickly, stuck her head out of the carriage window with her son in her arms, and roared angrily:
"Stop! Uncle, my father sent you here? My son is the Duke of the Vale, and I will never return to Riverrun!"
The knights around all looked at her in surprise. The story of the emotional woman who didn't know about her had spread all over the continent, making the Tully family the laughing stock of the whole world.
"Go ahead! I'll get into the carriage." Brynden Tully dismounted, ran a few steps, stepped into the carriage and got in, closing the door.
"The whole world knows about you and Littlefinger!"
Lysa Tully hugged her son tightly and shouted, "What's the matter with me! My son is the Duke of the Vale. We're going back to the Vale. Stop it! You're kidnapping!"
Brynden Tully really wanted to knock her out with a punch, and finally calmed down, pointing to Robert Arryn in her arms: "He is the illegitimate son of you and Littlefinger, who has been deprived of the Vale by the king. Duke's right of succession, he was born in King's Landing, and now his name is Robert Weirwater!"
"Impossible! Impossible! He's Old Jon's son! You're rebelling! You rebels are doomed!" cried Lysa Tully hysterically.
Brynden Tully was really angry. He slapped her across the face and shouted angrily, "Shut up! You're walking slowly on the King's Road, do you know what happened to King's Landing? Not for the honor of the Tully family, I ordered you to be chopped off now!"
"Don't hit her, I order you not to hit her!" Robert Weishui still wanted to grab Brynden with his hands, but was hugged tightly by Lysa Tully, half of her face was swollen up:
"It's all Dennis Arryn's conspiracy! They deceived the king and you!"
Snapped!Snapped!A slap on Lysa Tully's face, a slap on Robert Weasel's face, and the two finally fell silent.
Brynden Tully touched the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Listen, Lysa Tully! After you left, King Robert called a meeting of the nobles of the valley. You are the redhead of the Tully family, and your son is the brown The hair color of the old Duke of Vale has become the focus of controversy. Acting Prime Minister Werther rode a dragon to get the genealogy from the Eagle's Nest City, but it was destroyed, and then"
"Well ruined!" interjected Lysa Tully.
Brynden Tully drew his sword out and held it in his hand. He didn't know how this niece had become like this all these years, fat, doting on her son, hysterical and unreasonable.
"The new King's Hand figured out a way to invite the Archbishop of the Seven Gods to testify. The old duke is blond! The king has pronounced your son an illegitimate child. You two and Littlefinger have been sentenced to beheaded. You must follow me back to Riverrun to survive." !"
Hearing these, Lysa Tully burst into tears, held her son's head in her arms and kept shouting, "Why! Haha! Why! I won't go back to Riverrun! I won't go back to Riverrun!"
"If it wasn't for my brother, I really want to kill you now!"
Littlefinger Baelish hid in the second carriage, and when the knights surrounded the convoy they thought it was a robbery, so he quickly hid.The knight did not find him when he searched the carriage because he got under the maid's skirt.Knights are self-conscious and do not lift women's skirts to search in peacetime.
The news had spread all over the Seven Kingdoms, people from the Tully family were all around, and the people in the carriage in front didn't have to keep it secret, the noise was so loud that Littlefinger in the carriage behind heard it too.
Little Finger hugged the maid's leg and crouched under the skirt, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.
The maids around the old duke and Lysa Tully were all arranged by themselves. They used to be in the service industry. Littlefinger selected young and average-looking maids and sent them out to be maids after careful guidance. Littlefinger believed that as long as there was no torture, These maids would certainly not betray him.
According to his original plan, he only needs to kill Lysa Tully and the little girl a few years later, and he can become the Duke of the Valley.Now everything is in vain, wealth, power, glory, everything has come to naught, and I have become a wanted criminal in the Seven Kingdoms!
"What should I do? What should I do?" Littlefinger's smiling face, which has never changed for thousands of years, is now sweating profusely. Now his mind is in a mess and he can't think of any way. He can only follow the carriage to Riverrun, where Tully's house is located.
Chapter 170 VII Reasonable Debt Collection
About three years ago, Werther destroyed Silt Town, a civilian area in Braavos, and the nobles came up with a rebuilding plan after discussing and preparing to sell the house.
The officials of the Iron Bank saw that Witt was very dignified and extraordinary, so he generously granted a large loan.But three years have passed, Witte has not received a penny, and has not even received a letter.
We didn’t let Ao Daweiying fly directly over the city to show his prestige. This is not the territory of the Seven Kingdoms. Braavos never came here when the dragon was in the Valyrian Empire. Coming here means war. Werther is also on this point. Only after Volantis read the books did he know.Besides, Werther is here to collect money this time, not to rob, and maintaining his reputation is very important.
Ao Daweiying hovered over the huge swamp in the south of Bora Buddha Temple City. Werther jumped off the dragon's head, gliding in the air and found a place with a road to land, and summoned the skeleton horse Avak to ride slowly. into town.
After arriving at the edge of the city, he changed to a small boat and entered the city. Werther specially asked the boatman to dock in Silt Town, and went to investigate the project himself.
It can be confirmed from the brand-new street signs that the name of the rebuilt Silt Town has been changed to Chunhua Town.All are four-story masonry buildings, with red roof tiles and white-painted walls. Each building has a small garden downstairs. It is no longer the slums of the past. Small merchants settled here.Several newly built streets are lined with shops and bustling with people. There are businessmen discussing business, soldiers training, and children chasing and playing. It is a bustling scene.
"It's good to have money, and my Tyroshi City can be like this in a few years!"
Werther was about to calculate how much money he would receive, only to realize that he had no idea!
I went to the short bridge that I saw Viserys back then, leaning on the marble railing and recalled carefully, it seemed that it was the Iron Vault that Prince Oberon was entrusted to go to. The house was built in the hands of the nobles of Lafo Temple.
However, the Iron Bank should have issued a certificate, but he had a conflict with Oberon at the time, and left with Nymeria and Tyene in a fit of anger.
"Certificate, where is the certificate?"
Werther lightly jumped up and stood on the railing of the short bridge, raised his right hand and pointed to the sea, trying to recreate the actions of the year to recall the events of the year.
"That's right! Before attacking Tyrosh City, Nymeria said that Oberon gave her the certificate, and she put it in Tyene's bear bag!"
It took more than ten days to fly to Braavos, and Werther didn't want to make another trip. He turned his head to look at the magnificent Neptune Hall, and said, "I must pay you today! In addition, the purple fleet of Braavos is heading south. Ao Daweiying has sprayed so many dragon flames and it will be counted as money, if you don’t give it, the Haiwang Palace will be demolished!"
There was a group of entertainers beside the short bridge. Werther walked over to find their leader, took out a silver coin and handed it to him:
"This is the deposit, follow me into the Neptune Palace!"
Haiwang Hall happened to be a court meeting today, and the big nobles and businessmen in the city gathered here for a meeting. Haiwang sat on a chair in the hall doing nothing, holding his head in his hand and drinking with a wine glass, watching the people in the hall chattering and arguing endlessly, his face There was a wry smile on his face.
On both sides of the main hall, there are seats for nobles on one side and seats for merchants on the other, with a wide aisle left in the middle.There are still a bunch of emotional nobles arguing in the aisle. Sea King, who is sitting in the middle of the aisle, looks at the gate at the end of the aisle, looking forward to the end of this year's meeting as soon as possible. The arranged flower boat is still waiting in Zigang.
Suddenly there was a noise at the entrance of the main hall, and everyone stopped arguing and looked towards the gate.
boom!The gate was kicked open, the two gates were opened with great force, and the slanting sunlight in the afternoon shone in.
A tall man, wearing black leather shoes, black tights, and a tight-fitting aristocratic robe with a bright red upper body embroidered with countless stags in gold thread, followed by five magic balls of different colors, slowly walking along the Rotating clockwise, the black board-inch head reflects different colors of red, yellow, purple, blue and white.
The soldiers at the gate of Haiwang Palace crowded together, they only dared to touch the hilt of their sword but dared not draw it out, and they dared not even open their mouths to stop it.Accompanied by the majestic background music, Werther walked into the hall slowly with unrecognizable steps.
"Chief Archmage of the Kingdom of Vetterster, Honorary Grand Fellow of the Academy, Duke of Tyrosh of the Stone Steps, Guardian of the Fjords, Witt Baratheon of House Baratheon!"
A high-pitched voice called out the name.
Werther ignored the people in the hall of the Sea King Hall and walked directly to the Sea King.
"It's really him!" This look is unique, and the nobles you saw Werther in those days immediately recognized it.
"The Red Devil of Braavos!" Someone was impressed.
The nobles who were still staying in the aisle watched Werther, who was at least a head taller than everyone else, walk in, and they all consciously made way for the aisle leading to Neptune.Werther stood still in front of the sea, raised his head slightly to look at the Neptune sitting on the throne.
"Mage Werther, the magic power is boundless! Conquer the islands and control the dragon!"
The high-pitched voice yelled the slogan again with the majestic background music, and the majestic statement shocked all the people present.
"Turtle Butcher, Gold Thief! The Duke of the Ruin of the Second Son Islands!" Someone who had never seen Werther heard the news from hearsay.
"He is also the father of hundreds of illegitimate children in the city of Myr, and I heard recently that he has dug the ancestral graves of many nobles in Pentos!" He said in a low voice.
"Are you the king of the sea?"
Werther looked at the blond man sitting in the middle of the hall of the Sea King Hall. This was the first time he had seen him, so he had to confirm his identity first.
"I~ am~ the king of the sea." The young man had already started to tremble, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Witte: "It's good to be Neptune. Three years ago, I invested in the reconstruction of Silt Town with a loan. Today I came to collect money."
The blond Neptune was stunned, and then began to fear: "Master Witte, I~~ I really don't know!"
Is this trying to renege on a debt?Werther was a little angry, turned around and shouted towards the hall: "Is the person from the Iron Bank here? Come out and prove it!"
"I'm coming!"
