Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 269 Saving the World with Finance (seeking tickets)

Dani looked at the bearded old man who was shorter than her in surprise. She never thought that he, who has been practicing magic in seclusion, would be so clear about the situation in the Seven Kingdoms.

"Your evaluation of Tyrion is very high, which is far from his evaluation in reality."

"Alas, if Tyrion had the physique and features of a kingslayer, he would be the most feared man in the Seven Kingdoms.

It can be said that Cersei and James inherited the appearance of Duke Tywin, and Tyrion inherited the soul of Duke Tywin and carried forward his wisdom.

Your Majesty, think about it, if he is useless, why would anyone deliberately try to eliminate him? "

"Did Tyrell kill Joffrey?"

"I don't know how much Highgarden was involved, but I swear to the Seven that Tyrion is innocent."

Dani smiled faintly, "Anyone with a brain knows that the little devil is not the murderer, but I want to know more about the man behind the purple wedding."

"This" the old man stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "Lady Olenna and Queen Margaery must have been involved. Because the poison was poured into the wedding wine glass shared by Margaery and Joffrey, it can be poisonous." It was Joffrey who died.

But Sansa Stark is also suspected. Joffrey has a deep hatred for her, and she disappeared from King's Landing immediately after the incident-this is the key, Sansa is a delicate girl, and she can never escape from the Red Castle alone. There is someone behind her, and that person is also the planner of the purple wedding. "

Dany asked, "What are your guesses about the identity of the person behind Sansa?"

"I can't guess, I can only think of Varys, but the possibility is extremely small." The old man shook his head.

As expected of the number one shit-stirrer and conspirator in "Game of Thrones", Littlefinger's thoughts and actions are wild and unconstrained, and he has done so many bad things, but no one has ever doubted him.

Even the old man in Old Town, who sat and watched the changing situation, didn't pay much attention to him.

"Earl Layton, even if you sell Highgarden, you can't get rid of your crime of murdering me." Dany said lightly.

"The Hightower family is willing to atone for their sins. My heir and I swear allegiance to you. When you decide to take back the Iron Throne, all the military and financial resources in the old town of Hightower can serve your restoration war.

And my second son Gals, he admires you very much, and after knowing that the Academy City is going to assassinate you, he is going to sneak out to inform you.

Gals is not married, nor is he married, and is now being held by me on the fourth floor of the towering tower.

If you wish, I can send him to Slaver's Bay in the name of exile, to be your most loyal Kingsguard, just like my uncle 'White Bull' Gerald Hightower. "

I'll go, this old man knelt down so simply that he even sold his son.

However, becoming the Kingsguard is a very bright future for the second son.

Dany frowned and thought about it. According to her original idea, the Academy City would be demolished and moved to the extreme north, where the collection of books would belong to the Queen, and the doctors and bachelors who participated in her murder would wear black clothes to guard the Great Wall.And even if Haitaer didn't exterminate his family, he still had to kill the direct males, and then deprive him of his title and fiefdom.

But I don't want the old man in Jiuzhen to be so good-natured, not only able to contact her through clues, but also sold himself to become the king and his in-laws without hesitation.

Of course, Dani also understands that if the future situation is not good for her, the old man doesn't mind selling her again, but this is the nobility, and this is the rule of the game of thrones!

Pure loyalty is especially precious because it is so rare.

With a long sigh, she nodded and said, "I accept your allegiance."

When someone rises up to challenge you, you should resolutely respond with iron and blood; when they bow their knees, you must help them up with your own hands, otherwise no one will submit to you. - Duke Tywin in "Game of Thrones" Admonish Joffrey's words.

Dany remembers it clearly, so she can't learn from Emperor Joffrey of the "Second Mad King", Hightower will go through fire and water for you, and will not hesitate! "The old man said excitedly.

"Let me ask you, how many golden dragons can the Hightower family control? Tell the truth."

"Your Majesty needs money?" The old man hesitated.

'Loyalty' is easy to pay, but gold is hard to come by!

"I need your loyalty." Dany said lightly.

The old man gritted his teeth with pain in his face, and spit out a number: "300 million, the Haitoer family can come up with 300 million gold dragons in cash."

"300 million golden dragons is a bit small." Dani thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, just 300 million golden dragons. I want you to contact the merchants in the Free City immediately and try your best to buy food from the other side of the narrow sea."

"300 million golden dragons' grain?" The old man's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "I'm afraid that half of the grain reserves in the Western Continent will be emptied. How many troops do you have? You need so much grain."

"No, I will not start a war in Westeros until this winter is over."

The old man suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly realized: "Your Majesty wants to make the allied army short of food?"

Then he shook his head and dissuaded him: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve, not to mention whether the Allied generals will be so stupid to sell the military rations. The climate of Essos is warm, and the Lorne River Plain is vast and fertile. Even if West When Luo enters winter, they can still grow winter wheat there.”

"Have you heard of the White Walkers beyond the Wall?" Dany asked.

The old man said casually, "I've heard of it, but the doctors think that the Night Watchman deliberately exaggerated in order to get the assistance of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. It must be winter, and the savages will go south to plunder the northern border. It will be the same as it was thousands of years ago."

"I'm in King's Landing now, and I'll go back to the Great Wall to see if there are any other ghosts soon."

"Ah, you are in King's Landing?" The old man was startled, and hurriedly said, "Are you trying to contact King Aerys' former courtiers? Your Majesty, I didn't provoke you. Be careful, there are not many people in King's Landing that you can trust."

He was really anxious, not worried about Her Majesty being cheated.

Hightower has just secretly pledged allegiance to the Dragon Queen. If she tells other nobles about the operation of Old Town in order to boost morale and win people's hearts, then the news will spread, can the Iron Throne and Highgarden let Old Town go?

But before the dragon queen came to fight, the Hightower family was destroyed first.

Dani frowned, and said displeasedly: "You old man, do you have dementia? Didn't you catch the point of my words?

White Walkers!

I'm going to find the White Walkers beyond the Great Wall! "

"Hehe, you can't find it, Your Majesty." The old man smiled indifferently, and then reminded nervously: "Your Majesty, you can win over the nobles, but don't tell about Hightower's loyalty to you. I want to keep a useful body, and I will do it for you in the future!"

Dany rolled her eyes, and said in a bad mood: "The Allies want to call the whole world to be my enemy. Doesn't this reflect how strong I am from the side? If I really want to compete for the Iron Throne, why do I need to come to Vester?" Luo looking for some rotten fish and rotten shrimp?"

The old man's expression was contorted, and he really wanted to shout: I'm not a rotten fish or shrimp!

However, he was relieved and even very happy: It seems that the Hightower family is the first noble in Westeros to pledge allegiance to the Dragon Queen!

"What are you doing in King's Landing, Your Majesty?" he asked.

"Inspecting the situation in King's Landing, I met the High Sparrow by the way."

"The big sparrow?" The old man was startled, "That's a lawless and dangerous person."

"Hehe, he and I hit it off right away, and we had a very happy chat. He also accepted my suggestion, and would buy grain from the other side of the Narrow Sea."

First sight?

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, and he asked doubtfully, "What are you doing?"

"I ask you, if the White Walkers are real, what would this mean?"

"Long night?" The old man uttered a word tremblingly. Then, his eyes popped out, and Dany said in disbelief: "If the long night comes, there will be at least a generation of winter. You bought all the food in the free city, then allies"

So ruthless, so poisonous!

The old man felt chills all over his body, and he felt that the woman in front of him was more terrifying than Tywin, or even the devil.

Seeing his terrified expression, Dani immediately guessed what he was thinking, smiled wryly, shook her head and said, "You guessed wrong, I don't want the free city to be short of food.

On the contrary, I hope that by raising the price of food, the major free city-states will start to grow food crops in the next year or two in the world.If the long night comes, a few more people can be saved. "

"This" the old man was at a loss, "What do you mean? You will give them the grain you bought?"

"Do you know futures?"

The old man shook his head lightly.

Dany asked again: "Then do you know how much gold I have?"

"Uh..." The old man froze for a moment before trying to say a number: "[-] million Jinhui coins?"

"Hehe, more, just gold and silver, there are 5000 million golden coins, about 5000 million golden dragons."

"Seven Gods!" The old man helped the table beside him, almost fainting.

"What are you going to do?" He asked blankly with trembling lips.

"You and the High Sparrow's crazy purchase of grain will greatly increase the price of grain, five times, or even ten times. At this time, another iron guard of mine is on the ship going to Braavos, and he will go to the Iron Bank.

First take out all the gold and silver in Slave Bay and deposit it in the iron treasury, so that the iron treasury can be used as a guarantee to pre-purchase food from the entire free city-state.

During this period, I will take Dragonstone and announce to the world that when the Allies are defeated, I will immediately lead 30 people across the Dothraki Sea, across the Rhone Plain, and finally reach Pentos.

Take a boat in Pentos, cross the narrow sea east, use Dragonstone Island as a base, conquer Westeros east, and retake the Iron Throne belonging to the Targaryen family-no one will doubt it.

Naturally, no one would doubt my motives for buying grain.Think about it, to what extent should food prices rise at that time? "

The Big Sparrow and Hightower have scanned the goods, and the Dragon Queen will buy unlimited food again.

"It is estimated that there will be the most terrifying price in history, one hundred times, two hundred times, because you are their enemy, the price may be even higher." The old man murmured.

"Yes!" Dany smiled, and continued: "Because I abolished the slave trade in Slave Bay, and because the Allied forces are going to fight, the East-West sea trade business is particularly difficult now.

Maritime trade cannot continue, and with such high food prices, farming is obviously more profitable.

My gold is stored in an iron treasury, and with the iron treasury as a guarantee, the merchant is not afraid of my default.

At that time, I will sign a contract with all the grain merchants—purchase their grain for the next three years according to the grain price at this time (the grain price after being driven up by the Big Sparrow and Hightower), as much as I want, and there is no need to deliver it immediately I store them in the granary first.

I will also swear that even if I defeat the allied army, I will never violate the contract and send troops to the granary to grab food.

With these guarantees, manor owners and big businessmen will level the cash crops in the field, open up wasteland on the largest scale, and all farmers will be squeezed to the limit.

If the White Walkers were real and the long night would come, then three years later it would definitely be the long night, and the grain stored in the granary could save hundreds of thousands or millions of people. "
