Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 72 I, Jon, Have No Interest in Money

The sea breeze is strong.

Jon stood by the window of Bright Castle, he was thinking about the latest situation, probably tomorrow, the little devil Tyrion will arrive to send Joffrey back to King's Landing! ?

The corners of Jon's mouth curled up. Joffrey is an egomaniac, reckless and likes to show off. It would be a pity not to send him to be king.

The Iron Bank is doing things secretly, funding the little Aegon's gold company, and the Tyrells assassinate Joffrey. No matter what the Tyrell family is planning, they are preparing to make the Seven Kingdoms mess up, so that they can continue to borrow money from the Iron Bank ! ?

The terrain of Gaoting is dangerous, and the possibility of being captured is very low.

So you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
Jon smiled.

I'm afraid you don't know how rich I am, Jon.

Stop pretending, I am the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms!
"You haven't slept yet?"

At this time, Margaery leaned over.

She has a beautiful face, so attractive in the night.

"You didn't sleep either?"

Jon knew the reason and didn't want to pay attention to Margaery. There was solid evidence that Margaery's followers assassinated Joffrey, but Jon chose to deal with it in a low-key manner.

It's very simple. Today's Guangming Island cannot turn against Gao Ting.

It is difficult to produce grain in the northern border, and the Reach is the granary of the Seven Kingdoms, and Highgarden also has a huge grain base.

"I know about that."

Margaery pursed her lips and said.

With a pitiful appearance and bright eyes, she looked at Jon: "If I say I don't know, do you believe me?"

If Jon hadn't known how scheming Margaery was, he would have believed it.

Shake his head lightly.

Jon said, "You know nothing..."

Margaery gritted her teeth: "I don't know what the family thinks, but I'm afraid it has something to do with King's Landing."

"sorry."

She leaned over and leaned against Jon with her body, and Jon never refused to erode this kind of beauty, so he directly embraced her.

"The Tyrell family wants to get more benefits, I can understand."

"After all, it's not all about money."

"Well, the products of Guangming Island have been banned by Queen Cersei, and they are not allowed to enter King's Landing. We, Guangming Island, are willing to give up the agency rights of King's Landing products to the Tyrell family."

"and then!?"

Speaking of business, Margaery stopped flirting with Jon.

"I have just integrated the northern border, and there will be more products in the future. In addition to wine, biscuits, and ice cream, the manufacturing of light will soon involve weapons, leather armor, and ship manufacturing."

Jon has taken power from Eddard Stark.

"What will House Tyrell get?"

Margaery knew Jon's style, and didn't like to beat around the bush, so she directly asked for conditions.

"[-]% commodity commission, and now other products of the Bright Chamber of Commerce have just started, and the money is not very much."

"Oh." Margaery still had a smile on her face, but she was a little speechless in her heart. How much money can she make as a distributor for Guangming Island? Our Tyrell family sells grain in Gaoting every year, which is worth tens of thousands of golden dragons. income!

"How many?" she asked casually.

At this time, the attendant brought mint tea, and Margaret took a cup casually and drank it lightly.

"Last month, it was only [-] gold dragons. This is an open business. If you count smuggling, you can get [-] gold dragons."

"puff!"

Margery spat out the tea in a mouthful: "Many, how much!?"

"About one hundred thousand golden dragons."

Jon said speechlessly, what's the matter, are there a lot! ?

I don't know that our northern territory is not big, creating a myth! ?

The shocked Margaery was shocked. Their Tyrell family is the richest man in Highgarden, and they dare not say that they earn [-] gold dragons a month, a month! ?
Wouldn't it be possible to earn 80 Golden Dragons that year! ?
"Does King's Landing have such a strong purchasing power!?"

Margaery asked a practical question.

"Ahem, there is a thing called advanced consumption."

"This is about the Bright Coupon."

Jon popularized the simple relationship between supply and demand for Margaery: "For example, a commoner in King's Landing actually only has one copper coin, but if the commoner in King's Landing wants to have enough to eat and live with a bit of dignity, he In fact, it needs ten copper coins for goods, whether it is food or something."

"It is impossible to sell to him from other houses, but the Bright Caravan can."

"Our bright coupons were issued for one year before, but now we have started to issue three-month bright coupons. Do you know why?"

"why!?"

"It's very simple. Bright manufacturing has begun to enter the Seven Kingdoms market on a large scale. If you need goods, you only need to buy a copper plate of Bright Coupons. Even, we can lend him a few Bright Coupons for free, and you can buy them anywhere in Bright Shop for what you want.”

"If you have no money, it's okay. You can take the goods first and owe Guangming Store Guangming Coupons instead of copper plates or silver deer."

"If you can't afford the Guangming voucher, then you can work for the Guangming store and earn work points to offset it. Not only do we have wages, we even take care of the meals."

"The advantage of this is that our Guangming Island can not only attract a large number of talents, but also produce various products at full capacity."

"When bright stores are opened all over the seven countries, and when bright manufacturing can meet the needs of everyone in the seven countries, there is no need to issue one-year and three-month coupons, and it becomes real-time. Time, any place, create light, solve difficulties!"

"Anywhere!?"

"Yes, any time, any place, create light and solve difficulties!"

"Thus, this man from King's Landing, who originally only had one copper plate, can use future money, or even no need to spend money, to buy bright goods anytime and anywhere. His value is only one copper plate, but counting the future added value, his Labor repayment ability becomes a golden dragon."

"As the tide rises, so does our cargo throughput, understand?"

Margaery is smart.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood the horror of Jon's theory, using future added value of labor force, or future repayment ability, to work for Guangming Island to repay debts! ?

"In this case, the more Guangming will create in the future, the deeper the control over the Seven Kingdoms will be, especially the people at the bottom will be inseparable from Guangming..."

Margaery murmured to herself.

"Nonsense, you aristocrats don't care about the life and death of the low-level people. They used to have no money and lived on one copper coin a day. Now that they have Guangming Store, they can eat ten copper coins a day."

"I shed blood for the seven kingdoms, I sweated for the seven kingdoms!"

"I can promise you on behalf of the Tyrell family." Margaery responded quickly.

"You guys took a big advantage, how can you compensate me!?"

Jon looked at Margaery, the market in King's Landing is a big cake, the Tyrell family cannot resist the temptation, but in this way, the Tyrell family will also break with the Lannister family because of interests...

The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.

……

Tyrion's arrival was a perfect coincidence.

He just happened to catch up with the first Northern Council. According to Jon's request, all the northern nobles went to Guangming Island for a meeting, and Tyrion was able to attend as a special guest.

"Little sister, uncle will check your body."

Jon looked at Little Bear Girl with a smile, and casually took out a bunch of golden dragons from his pocket: "Take the pocket money and spend it casually."

He wandered among the nobles in the north, asking for their health and talking with them.

Ed Stark, who came to Guangming Island to sit in the town himself, sat at the head with a serious face.

After everyone is seated.

Jon said earnestly: "Ahem, well, all the gentlemen in the north, listen to me."

Today, the northern border is Guangming Island.

Guangming Island is the northern border.

It's time for a showdown.

"The topic of this meeting is very simple. From today onwards, I, Jon Wright, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Territory, will have the final say on all the troops and government affairs in the Northern Territory."

"I'm done talking, who agrees and who opposes!?"

Jon just finished speaking.

Flint, Reed, Karstark and other families all agree.

Earl Jon Amber of the Amber family raised his hand and asked, "Then we will become vassals of Guangming Island?"

Jon shook his head lightly, and said, "How is that possible? Of course you are vassals of the Stark family. Our Guangming Island is just leading everyone to get rich."

"Do you have an opinion?"

Jon Amber shook his head quickly.

Jon then withdrew the sword from his neck.

"Okay, then I will arrange the first order in the north."

"From today, all the city-states in the northern border will be fully engaged in the production of bright manufacturing. Baigang will build a shipbuilding base in the northern border of the city, a sea trade transfer station, and a freight transfer station within one year."

"The other castle, the Last Hearth City, will become the cargo transfer station of the Grand Canyon defense base, and at the same time, it will be responsible for the acorn, pine nut, and hazelnut storage base in the wolf forest..."

"Change Guangming Store into Guangming Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but where there are settlements and villages, there must be the existence of Guangming Supply and Marketing Cooperative!"

"All the citizens of the northern border must be distributed according to their work and needs. Every adult ordinary citizen needs to contribute to the creation of light, earn work points, and receive rations."

"Northern territory, fully implement the Bright Coupon system..."

After Jon told his plan.

There was a moment of silence.

Many of these vassals in the northern border are big bosses, and they don't know much about the power of Jon's policies.

But Tyrion was utterly dumbfounded.

In this case, the northern border will become a monolith.

"My lord, can we enjoy salary treatment?"

Someone still asked this question.

"Of course!"

Jon nodded.

"You should know that Stannis has declared war on Cersei on the Iron Throne, and little Aegon led the golden group to the island of Tars."

"The Seven Kingdoms will be at risk of war."

"At this precarious time, on behalf of the 300 million people in the northern border, I solemnly declare."

"The Northern Territory has always been an inseparable part of the Seven Kingdoms. Our attitude towards all attempts to split the Iron Throne and start a war is consistent and consistent. We firmly oppose and seriously protest."

"At the same time, the Northern Territory promises that we will never take part in war easily, and we will never shoot the first arrow."

"But if someone dares to provoke the northern border, we will never give him a chance to shoot a second arrow!"

"yeah!"

Everyone agreed, yes, no one wants war, especially now that there is a big threat from the White Walkers above the northern border.

"Therefore, the army in the north will be commanded by me, Lord Eddard Stark, and I will arrange it now."

"The standing army of Guangmingwang and the Grand Canyon, except for Guangming Island, the major families send soldiers and horses in turn to garrison. As for the Neck, the Lide family, and the Stark family, they send troops and horses permanently, and Guangming Island will also send people for a long time. Stationed to protect the northern border from the ravages of war."

"Yes!"

The current representative of the Li De family is Jiu Jian, who stood up and nodded.

Jon said again: "In view of the relationship between the northern border and Guangming Island, I propose that the northern border army be called the Guangming Army in the future. As you know, our northern border is responsible for protecting the seven countries and tens of millions of people in the seven countries. The important task of guarding the frontier, we are the light, we are the future, no one objects to my proposal, right?"

A few vassals opened their mouths to speak, but they wisely chose to remain silent after seeing the swords drawn by the guards of the Light Corps.

"Okay, then from today, the Bright Army will unify the flags, ranks, and command. Lord Eddard Stark will be the commander-in-chief, and I will be the deputy commander."

"Guangming Island will provide armaments for the Guangming Army."

"We will never shoot the first arrow, but our Bright Army will resolutely defeat any invading enemy!"

"Resolutely defeat any invading enemy!"

The nobles in the northern border shouted one after another.

after the meeting.

Jon explained some details. Ed Stark himself is a military master, so Jon handed over the specific matters to him.

After unifying the thinking and understanding, now the entire northern border with 300 million people and [-] troops will completely become the Bright Army, and the northern border will also become the Light of the Seven Kingdoms and the Factory of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Lord Jon, your thoughts are always so surprising."

The little devil Tyrion is a smart man, he stood in front of Jon and said modestly.

"Hahaha, no matter where, your Lannister family is the most powerful, and the entire King's Landing belongs to your family."

"Uh……"

Tyrion smiled bitterly, that idiot of Cersei, if King's Landing became the Lannister family, the other nobles of the Seven Kingdoms would oppose Lannister like they opposed the Mad King.

This is a very simple reason.

Lannister is rich though.

However, the Lannister family does not have the dragon deterrent power of the Targaryen family, so they cannot sit in King's Landing for too long.

A problem that even a wise man can see.

What's more, she also ordered that light manufacturing be prohibited from entering King's Landing.

"About Joffrey, you see..."

Tyrion proposed the business of coming here this time. This time he will take Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella back, otherwise, once the war starts, the lives of these three people will be difficult to guarantee.

But Tyrion believes that Jon dare not kill Joffrey.

Because once he killed Joffrey, he would turn his back on the Lannister family completely.

"You can go back tomorrow."

Jon laughed.

Tyrion let out a long breath.

"King's Landing has lost Bright Manufacturing, what's going on now?"

"It's terrible. The price of goods has increased tenfold, especially the food. The food from Pentos is very expensive, and the merchants in the Reach have also taken advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money."

Tyrion honestly.

"It's okay, let's make trouble, let them have a good time."

Jon squinted his eyes, waiting for Cersei to push Joffrey to the throne, and then all kinds of tricks, and when the sky was dark and dark with Stannis, Guangming Island happened to build a high wall, accumulate food, and slowly become king.

Now the process of integrating the northern border has just begun.

……

When Tyrion takes Joffrey and Tommen, Myrcella sets off for King's Landing.

Joffrey didn't care, but Tommen and Myrcella each had a book of Illuminati.

This is Jon's book about how to bring light to the Seven Kingdoms.

And the huge potential of the northern border was also quickly discovered by Jon. First of all, armor manufacturing, leather armor is the simplest. Stannis and Lannister declared war. Armor and food are always necessary, right?

And the most indispensable thing in the northern border is fur.

Dragonstone.

"Lord Stannis."

"Let me know about Guangming Leather Armor? It's high quality and cheap. If you order [-] pairs now, you can enjoy a [-]% discount."

Jon the Golden-Eyed Raven was selling hard in front of Stannis.

"I don't have that much money."

Stannis directly refused.

The golden-eyed crow, Jon, laughed. He croaked and fluttered his wings: "My lord, you are my dear friend. Talking about money hurts my feelings."

"We can sell these [-] pairs of leather armor to you at a discount first, and pay in installments later, but there is a small request, can our Guangming Island products be tax-free in your territory!? Secondly, let us Open a few bright supply and marketing cooperatives."

"installment?"

"Yes, my lord."

"You can pay in twenty installments. There are two iron mines and an obsidian mine in your territory. If you don't want to pay in installments, you can pledge the mining rights of the iron mines to us."

"We can not only provide you with leather armor, but also weapons."

Jon's words made Stannis frown, but Davos, the onion knight, persuaded Stannis to agree.

"Don't you want to make money?"

Stannis asked.

Jon the Golden-eyed Crow smiled: "Master Stannis, I am not interested in money."

He said seriously.
