Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 61 The Pain of Lannister
King's Landing is the richest city in Westeros, and the taxes here are the envy of the nobles.

Take the tax in Seagull Town, for example.

Merchant ships entering and leaving the port have to pay taxes, and the tax on cargo throughput alone is as high as tens of thousands of gold dragons every year, and the Lannister family is a big maritime merchant, and they have many sea ships that do not need to pay taxes.

Although other nobles have their own territories.

But their taxes are no match for King's Landing.

With a population of more than 50 people here, they can make a lot of money just by selling food. Secondly, they sell wine. The wines of Qingting Island and Pentos were the best-selling wines before. Nowadays, people at the bottom like vodka. Fruit wine from Guangming Island.

Without him, both are cheap, cheaper than the wine in Qingting Island.

This also caused dissatisfaction among the Lannister family.

Kevan Lannister is the younger brother of Tywin Lannister, and he is also the chief steward of the Lannister family in King's Landing, responsible for the business and various affairs of the Lannister family.

Inside the Red Castle, Kevan Lannister looked at Cersei and said, "You must prohibit the creation of light from appearing in King's Landing!"

"Why?" The little devil asked at this time.

"The hateful Bright Manufacturing has seized the market of our Lannister family. All food and drinks have been affected, especially wine. You know, wine used to be our main source of money. Not many people in King's Landing drink our wine now. All go drink that nasty Bright Brand cider and vodka!!"

said Kevan Lannister angrily.

"You must ban the manufacture of Brightness. In addition, Brightness Coupons are no longer allowed to be sold in King's Landing, because it has seriously affected the tax revenue of our Lannister family. Many people go to buy Brightness Coupons and don't ask us to borrow usury. This Bright bonds have even begun to be used as bonds, which can be used to repay debts!"

Kevan Lannister's words made the imp frown.

Cersei, on the other hand, asked bluntly: "If we banned their alcohol from being sold in King's Landing, we could make more money!?"

Kevan Lannister nodded: "Yes, our Lannisters in King's Landing have at least [-] Golden Dragons in tax revenue for a year, but in just a few months this year, our income has plummeted due to the impact of light, and now only There are [-] to [-] golden dragons, we must limit the sale of light made in King's Landing."

"it is good!"

Cersei nodded directly.

"Bright Coupons are not allowed to be sold!"

Cersei spoke again.

Thinking of that man, she gritted her teeth angrily.

The little devil Tyrion was stunned, and he asked: "It's understandable for us to restrict the production of light, but why should we restrict the light coupons? Now that the northern border is oppressed by strange ghosts, there are 40 soldiers and civilians there, and there are [-] soldiers. Great army, if we don’t sell them Bright Coupons, once they collapse, the White Walkers will rush into the Great Wall!”

"We can limit the share they sell, but we can't ban them all."

"In that case, Guangming Island will have no source of income and will soon collapse!"

The little devil Tyrion's words are more pertinent.

But Cersei wouldn't listen to him at all.

"I told you that from now on, King's Landing will not allow the sale of Bright Coupons, nor will any Brightness manufacturing enter King's Landing!"

"Did you forget that Joffrey and the others are still on Guangming Island!"

Tyrion said aloud speechlessly.

Cersei said coldly: "If Jon Wright dares to attack Joffrey, it will mean war!"

……

Renly returned to his lodgings.

The "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell stepped forward immediately. He is now the Kingsguard, and his father Mace Tyrell made him the Kingsguard under the instigation of Grand Maester Baelish.

In fact, this also shows the Tyrell family's support for Renly.

With the king's seat hanging in the balance, both regents, Stannis and Renly, have a chance.

And this huge piece of cake of course revolves around the business and taxation of King's Landing.

The largest city in Westeros.

King's Landing has 10,000+ Golden Dragons in tax revenue for one year.

This is even in the case of mass smuggling.

If he can control King's Landing, he will undoubtedly become the richest person in Westeros.

The Knight of Flowers came forward and changed Renly's cloak. He was handsome and blond, and asked, "Lord Renly, why are you unhappy?"

Renly sighed, "Stannis and Queen Cersei quarreled again today."

"Isn't that nice?"

The Knight of Flowers said.

"In this case, you have a chance."

"No!"

Renly touched the Knight of Flowers' shoulder.

"If they just quarrel, it will be meaningless. I need them to fight. Only blood and fire can change the ownership of King's Landing..."

"I am willing to serve you!"

The Knight of Flowers knelt directly at Renly's feet, and he looked up at Renly.

"Okay, I need you..."

Everything they said and did was seen by Jon the Golden-Eyed Crow.

……

The next day.

bright hope.

The first military training class of Bright School is about to start, and this time it is also to test the combat effectiveness of Wildfire. Jon specially brought Joffrey and Tommen and their children.

Coincidentally, the last time King Robert and others came, Joffrey didn't see the wight at all.

Therefore, he doesn't believe in ghouls, ghosts, and undead birds at all.

On the bridgehead.

Now it has been heightened and reinforced several floors, and it has become a six-story fortress. In front of it is a wide Huoyou River, and there are several large ships on the bank, ready to support at any time.

There are several hot air balloons on the bridgehead, observing the situation of the ghoul at any time.

"Hehe, ghoul, don't be ridiculous, there are no ghouls in this world!"

Joffrey was very arrogant and domineering.

He rose wildly to his feet, with the Hound and Barristan Selmy, "The Fearless" Barristan knight who had been the mad king's bodyguard and Robert's bodyguard, and now guarded Joffrey.

The Hound is a little afraid of fire.

He said seriously: "Your Highness, ghouls are real!"

"impossible!"

Joffrey cocked his mouth.

He shouted: "That's all Jon Wright tricked you clowns!"

As he said that, he was about to walk to the other side of the river.

This scene happened to be unmanaged, and Jon Wright was taking Tommen and Myrcella to condolences to the officers and soldiers stationed at Bright Watch. There are 2000 people stationed here, resting on the ship, and shifting back and forth.

"Look at you wretches, how can there be so many ghouls!"

"I am a ghoul, a little bit!"

While talking nonsense, Joffrey walked to the side of the Fire Oil River with a sword in his hand. His snarling appearance made the Hound and Barristan very helpless.

At this time, Jon also came over.

"Little Qiao, you have to be careful, there are really ghouls on the opposite side!"

Jon said helplessly.

"Hehe, coward, I'm not afraid, there are no ghouls at all!"

Joffrey was still talking hard.

suddenly.

There was a click on the other side of the river.

Swipe Swipe Swipe Swipe.

There was a sound.

Hundreds of ghouls stood up straight from the snow on the opposite bank. They were all in ragged clothes, with only a little flesh and skin hanging on their bodies. The rotting corpses could still move. Their blue eyes stared straight at Joff. inside.

Even Joffrey, no matter how brave he was, was terrified.

He swallowed, turned around and walked quickly to Jon's side.

"Brother, I'm sorry, my tone was a bit harsh just now."

"See!?"

"Look, I see... so many, so many ghouls!"

"Brother, tell me about such a terrible thing in the future!" "It's a deal!"

"Big brother!"

"A big brother for a day, a big brother for life!"

"Come on!"

Jon pushed Joffrey away and shouted to the crowd behind him, "Get ready!"

A hot air balloon flew up instantly, put the wildfire canister in it, and flew towards the other side of the river.
