Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

"A gift for me? This is the first time you have given me something!" Kona smiled happily, carefully loosened the drawstring of the purse, spread her hands, and squeezed the bottom of the purse with one hand to remove the contents. In the palm of his hand, there are more than two dozen gold coins of different styles and brightness.

Kona raised her eyebrows and looked at Werther: "What do you mean by giving me this, the overnight fee for your Tyroshi dancer? You want to spend the night with me, the earl, and this money is not enough!"

thump!Werther stretched out his right hand, circled his middle finger and flicked Cora on the forehead. "Don't think about it, it's business!"

"You!" Kona, who was covering her forehead in pain, stopped tempting Werther: "I have seen that there are so many kinds of gold coins, but there are no golden dragons. You don't want to cast all these coins into golden dragons, do you?"

"Yes! Gradually replace these currencies with golden dragons! At present, I have the power and power to have giant dragons, and the Stone Step Islands are still stuck in the main sea trade route, and the policy of the Seven Kingdoms is helping me. In such a situation, don't do this. What a pity!"

Werther looked at Kona's purple eyes seriously: "This matter requires a loyal person who understands the banking industry. It will take a few years to train from scratch. There are many people in Rees City who are proficient in the banking industry, but I don't think so. They are worried, so I want you to take up this important position!"

Kona rubbed a strand of hair hanging down her forehead: "Then I'm faithful?"

Werther: "The Rogal family has declined, and you are the only one left in your branch. Tomorrow you will be an earl with a fief. Those distant and poor relatives have no time to curry favor with you, let alone influence your decision. The whole family is up to you. Coupled with Tyrosh's support for you, I can't think of whom else you can turn your side to?"

Cora also stared into Werther's eyes: "If I get married in the future, what if I want to work for my husband's family?"

Werther: "I don't know the system in Rhys City, but in Westeros and Tyrosh, you are just a public office, and you can resign or be replaced by me at any time. If you want to have a child in the future, you can ask for leave or resign, and return your Counties will do."

Kona pouted, "Cruel!"

Witte was unmoved: "I want to raise the level of Tylosi Bank. Like other banks, the person in charge is called a manager, but this position will refer to the level of my direct minister, who is in charge of the banks and currencies of the entire Stone Step Islands. Minting, exchange, deposit and loan, and liquidation of private coins!"

Kona: "Qing pays to mint coins without permission? Then the first thing I do when I take office is to check you? Hehe."

Werther: "Don't interrupt, I did it for the sake of the country, and I got the king's special order! Do you want the position of manager of Tyroshi Bank? I will officially announce it tomorrow, and you don't want me to find someone else?"….

"Yes! But tonight, tell me in detail what you are going to do first?" Kona didn't give up.

"Come to my castle conference room at night!"

Witte walked out of the warehouse after speaking.

"Really? Then I'll take a shower first."

Werther, who had just arrived at the door, stopped: "Not only you, but all the ministers will come tonight!"

"ruthless!"

As the administrative center of the Stone Step Islands, Tyrosi currently has nine ministers directly under the duke. With the rapid development of Tyrosi different from Westeros, coupled with its special geographical location, it has become more and more important in terms of economy, culture, manufacturing, and trade. The world has gradually become the center of two continents. At present, these nine positions are no longer able to manage more and more emerging things, and expanding seats is the general trend.

All nine ministers attended the meeting that night, and there were dozens of people sitting in the auditorium. They were all middle-level officials below the nine.

At the beginning of the meeting, Gunsor Hightower, the financial officer, and Garlan Tyrell, the logistics officer, poured out their bitterness. There are not enough officials, and half of the auditorium is filled with their subordinates.

Werther cherished the two of them very much. In order to relieve their pressure, after discussing with everyone present and voting by show of hands, the decision to add new seats was finally unanimously passed.

After talking about the troublesome things, let's talk about the good things.

Tylosi has a large area of ​​territory directly under the disputed land. After frenzied logging and shipbuilding, exploration of savage immigrants on the Great Wall, and land lease by immigrants from the northern border, the conditions for large-scale development are now available there. Witt asked the nine lords to do a good job. Develop prepared plans.

The next morning, Aldawion, whom the Tyroshis hadn't seen for a long time, began to hover over the city. The stag flag with the flaming crown fluttered on the flagpole on the top of the castle, the flag of the Martell family's spear red sun flag, and the wind The Crowned Buck banner of the Duke of Rest.

The flags of various families were erected on both sides of the main road starting from the gate of the castle, and the flags of the nine lords of the Stone Step Islands were all erected on the road closest to the castle.In addition, the golden rose of the Tyrell family, the wolf head of the northern border, and various scorpion and skull flags of Dorne were also placed in order.And nobles from Lys, Volantis, Myr, Braavos.

Today is the second canonization ceremony of Tylosi. Many people have been invited to come to witness. They also got news in private. It is rumored that Duke Werther will make major adjustments in policy management. Given that Werther has the most profitable person and the magic No. 1, many people of insight came here with a learning attitude.

The castle is still being built, the third floor has been capped and the fourth floor is coming, so the outer wall has no decoration, it looks dark, but the interior high hall has been decorated.

The white walls are consistent with the style of Tyrosh City, and the glass windows are all imported from Myr. The colorless and transparent glass allows the sunlight to shine into the room to the maximum extent.A large iron candelabra hangs from the top, illuminating the hall even at night.

The servants have arranged the tables and chairs neatly, and there are many potted green plants in the corner of the hall, making the white and cool-colored hall look alive.

The nobles took their seats in order according to their status and position, under the guidance of the attendants. On the elevated pedestal, the duke's chair carved from a whole block of obsidian was located in the center. The black seat was plain and unpretentious. The white giant dragon, with its body, claws and tail, climbed on the chair from behind, and its head rested on the top of the back of the chair. Together with Werther sitting on the chair, he looked at the people in the hall. ....

There are still places on both sides of the Duke's chair, which are for Nymeria and Tyene, but their chairs haven't been finished yet, and it would be too shameful to just move a wooden chair, so they didn't sit next to Werther today , sitting with Renly Margaery.

There were about 500 people sitting in the hall at the moment, and all the windows had been opened, but it was still extremely stuffy in the hot Tylosh.Witt pressed his hand on the handrail and a white light flashed, buried in the hall wall, the magic circle woven by Valyrian steel wires was activated, the ice, storm, and cool wind quickly lowered the temperature in the hall.

"Werther! Draw me the blueprint of this magic circle when you're done! Give me some Valyrian steel, and I'll burn it out and return it to you when my dragon grows up!"

Before the ceremony started, Renly ran to Werther and whispered, he seized the opportunity to take advantage of Werther.

Werther looked at him, "The place in Storm's End still needs refrigeration?"

Renly: "After learning the refrigeration magic circle, won't I switch to fire? I want both hot and cold!"

"no problem!"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Renly patted Werther's arm and returned to his seat.

This time, the castle steward presided over the meeting first, and he shook the bell in his hand to signal to everyone that the ceremony began.

After the scene was quiet, Werther announced the first resolution: "First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming! Since the Stone Steps Islands belonged to the Seven Kingdoms, their development has been booming. Last year, the Nine Islands' total tax payment to the Kingdom was equal to that of the Storm Land!"

There was thunderous applause in the hall.

The agricultural and manufacturing taxes of the Stone Step Islands are not comparable to the Stormlands, but there are still a large amount of entrepot trade taxes, which can be added up to reach the Stormlands.

"According to the laws of Westeros, the following matters I have announced have been approved by the king." Werther stood up and said, "Master Macon!"

Bachelor Macon was the second bachelor sent by the Academy City to Tylosi to follow Werther. The first one was an old man who was sent back by Werther.He has been with Werther for almost two years. He is young and eager to learn. The most important thing is that his thinking has also been influenced by Werther, and he is still a devout Dragon Worshiper.

Hanging six kinds of metal ring necklaces, wearing a bachelor's robe, Bachelor Macon walked to the main seat and saluted: "Master Witt!"

Werther nodded at him: "The branch of the school city in Tylosi has already enrolled more than [-] people, and there will be more in the future. It urgently needs a knowledgeable bachelor to manage. My school city has already communicated. Macon Bachelor, from today onwards you will no longer serve as an advisor to the Duke of Tylosi, and will be transferred to the school as the headmaster."

The butler came up and handed Macon a parchment.Macon took it with both hands and unfolded it. It was an official document issued by the Cardinal of Xuecheng. "I will definitely train more bachelors for the Stone Step Islands!"

Werther continued, "Maester Salera!"

Salela, who also wore a bachelor's robe with a necklace of six metal rings, walked up to Werther. Unlike any other bachelor, she was a woman, the only female bachelor whose identity had been disclosed so far.

Sarella Shad, Nymeria's half-sister, Wen Neng obtained the bachelor's title by himself, and Wu Neng strangled the enemy with a bachelor's necklace.She envied her father Oberon and her brother-in-law Werther to study in the Academy City when they were young, so they disguised themselves as men to go to the Academy City for a few years and obtained a degree.After disclosing her identity as a woman, the Academy City, which has never had a female bachelor, originally wanted to deprive her of her bachelor title. After the mediation of Werther and Nymeria, she chose to compromise. In addition to the face problem, Werther also gave conditions, investing some money to expand The branch of the Academy City in Tyrosh.

Sarella didn't dress up as a man at this time. The loose bachelor's robe was tied with a belt, showing her feminine features on her chest. Her curly hair with a shawl and her black skin looked very heroic.

Werther: "Master Sarela, from today onwards you will serve as an advisor to the Duke of Tyroshi."

"I will do my best!"

Salera took over the official documents of the school city from the housekeeper.The appointment of the two was also negotiated yesterday.

At this time, the butler stepped aside, and the next meeting was presided over by Maester Salera.

"Come forward, Gendry Weywater, Head Blacksmith of Tyrosh Castle!"

Chapter 290 VII Land and Change

Change the Duke's advisor, followed by the canonization of a group of new nobles, and finally the appointment of officials.

The first person to be named at the canonization must be the one with the highest title and the most popular with Werther.Except for those who attended the meeting last night, everyone in the hall was guessing who it was.

Many people were very surprised after the name of Gendry Weishui was pronounced, it turned out to be a small blacksmith!There was a buzzing sound of discussion at the scene.

"You're from Volantis, aren't you? I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else. Gendry is King Robert's bastard son!"

"I see!"

Although Gendry was not a nobleman, Witte made him a good income when he managed the blacksmith shop directly under the Duke.

Today he combed his slightly curly hair behind his head, and wore a set of pale gold armor made by himself. He carried his two-handed warhammer behind his back. The metal horns caught the arm one after the other.In terms of martial arts, except for his greater strength, Gendry is not as good as many knights who have been trained since childhood, but this outfit does look mighty and extraordinary!

Werther and Xuecheng worked together to improve the status of craftsmen. In this era, blacksmiths are still not valued by the nobles. They are only regarded as people who earn money for the nobles. They can be given a lot of money, but their status will never be valued.This is not because of more money or less money, but because of the contempt of identity, the nobles do not cut their bones and work with craftsmen.

Gendry came from the far side of the hall, and when he passed through the middle aisle, the city defenders and magicians who were familiar with him were all congratulating him, and Gendry smiled and nodded to them one by one.It wasn't until then that many people discovered that this little blacksmith had a really wide network of contacts.

When he reached the front row, someone slapped the armor on his back with such force that the armor slammed and the Gendry almost fell to the ground.

He was almost ashamed on such an important occasion, Gendry hurriedly stood up straight, turned around and was about to curse.

"Fool, I knew you could do it! Earl Heshan! Hahaha."

The familiar voice was Ashara Dayne.

"I just said who has such great strength, so it's you. Weren't you at the meeting last night?" Gendry scratched his head with his hands and grinned from ear to ear.

"Hmm! Hmph!" Auryn Velaryon, who was also sitting in the front row, coughed.After a long meeting yesterday, Ashara slept with her head on her hands for a long time, and didn't listen to anything. Now she is the only one in the upper management of Tyroshi who is happy here.

Gendry hurried up to Werther.Maester Sareira took out a scroll and read from it.

Gendry's feats include helping Tyroshi's various workshops to improve craftsmanship, successfully manufacturing the gear winch set, participating in the research and development of magic wands, and successfully manufacturing the cart.Received the title of earl, and the fief is Heshan in the territory of Tyrosh.

Heshan is now a large area of ​​hills and swamps, and there are cranes living there. It is located in the inland of the disputed area, neither near the coast nor the river. It is a small village with only an inn opened by a northerner and a few residents.Gendry's fief was placed here because there was an open-pit coal mine near the village. To develop metal manufacturing, Werther had to make it easy for Gendry's workshop to smelt metal. In the future, this place would become the largest producer of metals and weapons.

....

It is not uncommon in Westeros not to be awarded for military exploits. Tournaments and children of great nobles can all get titles.However, there are not many fiefs like Gendry. Many people think that he relies on the king's relationship, and the officials of Werther and Tyrosh know that it doesn't take too long, just one or two years, the power of the gear mechanism can be completely exhausted. show it.

It is a collective request of Tyroshi officials to directly mention the earl-level title.Heshan will gather a large number of craftsmen and businessmen in the future, and a jazz can't hold such a big place.In addition, everyone felt that since King Robert had no male heirs, Gendry, who looked the most like Robert, might be highly valued in the future, and everyone was willing to praise him.

A golden galloping bull on a black pointed shield, his official Gendry Weirwater sigil.

The second person to be enshrined, Corna Rojar, Earl of East Coast Port.

Her real credit was harvesting Mill's wealth with a false identity, which must not be made public.Maester Sarella recited fictional credits, all about Tyroshi's economy.

Wearing golden jewelry and a pure white dress, Kona half-kneeled in front of Werther. Werther did not use his greatsword to enshrine her, but picked up another one from the captain of the bodyguard, Baron. sword.

"Korna of House Rogar, in the name of Warden of the Straits and Lord Tyrosh, I canonize you as Earl of Eastshoreport. And I give you back the lament of Valyrian steel sword lost by your family."

Kona took the long sword with both hands and said formally: "I will always be by your side."

"The lament is in the hands of Duke Werther?"

"The Rogal family will be revived on the branch of the Kona family!"

"The main line has long been dead, and now the surname Luo Jiaer is all collateral."

The nobles from Rees are very concerned. They heard that Kona is the only foreign noble that Werther canonize so far, but with this precedent, they also have hope.

The East Coast Port is the closest place from the mainland of Essos to the main island of Tylosia. In the future, a large amount of food and raw materials shipped from land will be stored here. The throughput of Tylosia Port is limited, and many merchant ships will also unload here.For such an important place, Witte must either hand it over to someone close to him or someone who is easy to replace. The power must be firmly in his own hands, and Kona is a good candidate.

Rojaer’s main line died out more than 100 years ago. Kona’s collateral lines have been suppressed in Reese City, and they have never been associated with nobles. Now she also wants to get rid of the main line’s disputes, so she redesigned the family crest: black background A white one-story bank building.Seeing the flag being taken away by the attendants, Cora was very happy at the thought that it could be planted on Tyrosh Castle from today.

The third canonized are Asha Greyjoyon and Theon Greyjoyon.

Theon was sent by Werther to find Littlefinger, and only his elder sister, Asha, came forward and accepted the seal instead of her younger brother.

When Asha, who was wearing Tyroshi-style naval armor, walked in the middle of the hall, she couldn't hear any discussion.

The well-known wanted criminals on two continents were officially canonized by Werther, and no one dared to guess what Werther wanted to do.It wasn't until Maester Sarela held King Robert's Edict aloft in his hand and read out her and her brother's exploits that the crowd applauded enthusiastically.

....

Asha Greyjoyon was named the Earl of Keos, and Keos was the place Asha used coins to choose on the map when she was in Meereen.This small town was bought by Werther at the mouth of the Mill River. The city was still very chaotic and could not collect any taxes. Therefore, Asha got a name in name only for the time being, and would need to send troops to suppress it later.

Asha Greyjoyon was knighted, his achievements were not enough to have a fief compared to his sister, and he continued to work hard.

When they were undercover, the two were worried every day. After returning to Tylosi after the mission, the king's pardon has not been issued because of the assassination. She and Theon have been worried about what happened, and they rarely show up in public.

Now that the king officially rectified the names of the two, Asha's hanging heart was finally relieved, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

However, the troubles between the two are not over yet. Theon's snatching of Nightfall Sword and murder was an unplanned incident. Werther and Robert wrote to the Harlaw family of the Iron Islands to mediate the dispute.The national treasury offered money in private to compensate them for their losses in the name of Theon, but the Harlow family did not accept it, and announced that they would come to trouble the Grey Qiaoyin siblings and take back the Ye Linjian.

"Asha, the Harlow family dare not mess around in Tyrosh!" After the canonization was completed, Werther handed the pardon to Asha while holding her arm.

"Thank you, Duke Werther. Theon and I can handle this trivial matter. As long as I see those idiots of the Harlow family, I will cut off their limbs and throw them into the sea to feed the fish." Asha said hard, but her heart I had already thought about hiding in the Tyroshi Navy.

Fourth place, Sansa Stark.Sir Brookwood

The only credit for Tyrosh is to be by Werther's side during the Volantis conflict.

Werther needs her protection?Everyone present wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, this was the strongest relationship.

Once a magician graduates, he automatically gets the title of knight, which is equivalent to a knight. This title is in name only, and he has to earn money for meals.Werther's canonization of Sansa is really to give her a piece of land and keep her in Tylosi.

At present, Tyrosh has signed a ten-year agreement with the Duke of Stark in the North, and deserters in the North in winter can rent land in Tylosh at a very low price.Werther put Sansa's fief on the most fertile land in order to attract more northerners to come and farm.The Stark family has a high reputation in the north, and his daughter has a fief in Tyrosh and no fief, so the attraction to northerners is very different.

Her fief is Ximu Town.Here is a plain, and the town was originally a place where loggers lived. After it developed, some people wanted to change the name to Hemu Town.When Werther rode a dragon to inspect, he pointed to the three-meter-wide ditch running through the town and told the locals that it was not a river, so it was officially marked as Ximu Town on the map.

The last one was Wendell from the Manderly family of White Harbor in the north. This big fat man was canonized as a knight without a fief, but Werther gave him a set of oversized armor.

Aureon Velaryon, Gunthor Hightower, and Hobber Redwyne were awarded the land for their exploits in logging and pioneering.

Aureon Velaryon, Lord of Gull Island, was granted Kuroshio Harbor and the surrounding lands.

....

Gunthor Hightower, Earl of Cancer Castle, was granted the town of Riftwind and the entire Riftwind Cape peninsula.

Hobber Redwyne, Lord of Torment Deep, whose land is in Mount Draino.
