Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 485 The Contract Responsibility System That Killed Profits All Over the World

Andals like "7" and Ghisians like "33".

The Great Pyramid of Slave Bay, no matter how high it is, 100 meters or 200 meters, has 33 floors.

In addition to living people, most of the pyramid area is used to store materials.

On the 9th floor of the Great Pyramid of Astapor, under the light of the fire, the gold coins rattled as the shovel was swung, reflecting an intoxicating brilliance.

Hundreds of Unsullied, in groups of two, wandered in the sea of ​​gold, using shovels to send gold coins into the carts, and when the carts were full, they pushed the carts out of the vault.

Next to the stone steps on the east side of the Great Pyramid, there is a funnel-like pool, seven or eight square meters, connected to a pipe thick as a bucket, and paved along the stone steps to the bottom of the pyramid.

The pipes are open and cast with copper skin.

Like a bamboo tube divided in the middle by a knife, each section is ten meters long, and each section is connected to another section.

The Unsullied pushed the wooden cart with the gold coins to the side of the funnel pool, opened the tailgate, and said, "Crash!"

Like a golden waterfall, it pours into the pool, and then flows through the pipeline below the pool, all the way down.

Beside the pipe, on each step there is a bald man wearing only a pair of briefs.

They held brooms in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the stream of gold coins in the pipe.

If they came across a coin of a different color, they would pick it out immediately; if the gold coin stopped rolling and blocked the pipe, they would sweep it with a broom.

At the bottom of the pyramid, there is also a pool of gold, a pool built of iron plates.

There are three giant dragons beside the pool, Xiaobai, Xiaolu and Xiaojin.

The dragon flames spit out, the smoke evaporated, and the gold in the pool melted into golden juice. The golden juice passed through the sieve and flowed into the pipe on one side, which was connected to dozens of molds.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of cold water being poured on the mold.

—After the mold is filled with golden juice, the Unsullied will pour water on it, causing the gold to solidify and form.

After that, someone from the Iron Bank put the giant gold nugget on the scale.

"One hundred catties, acceptance platform A, the 1245th piece!"

There is a senior manager of the Iron Bank guarding the scale next to it. If the weight is qualified, he will yell and record the word "卌" on the paper.

Well, the Slaver's Bay scholars sat at another table and followed the notes.

For every 100 yuan, the two parties reconcile the account once.

Then, another person came and carried the gold nugget to the roadside carriage.

It must be exactly one hundred catties, neither more nor less, otherwise it means that the gold is impure, because the mold is made of standard gold of 100 catties.

When the giant gold bricks on the carriage are enough for 20 pieces, they will be driven away by the coachman immediately, and they will go all the way to the pier, where the warm gold will be loaded onto the ship.

On the wharf, there is also a manager who counts the number of gold nuggets that have entered the cabin.

With such an assembly line operation, the gold in Astapor quickly flowed to the fleet of the Iron Bank.

On the pier, a restaurant named "Green Olive".

The Dragon Queen is feasting the guests.

Well, after the epidemic, the business of the Slave Bay hotel industry was sluggish. In order to resume production, the Dragon Queen not only took the lead in patronizing the Wharf Hotel, but also often distributed consumption coupons to officials and citizens at random.

Before the banquet began, the queen pointed to the silver-haired young man on her left, and said to the representative of the Iron Bank on the opposite side: "This talented young man is my eldest nephew Aegon, the son of Rhaegar and Elia, and the leader of House Targaryen." foal."

The representative of the Iron Bank who led the fleet to Astapor was named Taichu Nestos, a tall and thin man with two long legs.

Slender, with a slender, narrow face, and a lanky goatee that reached almost to his waist.

"Mr. Nestos, hello." Aegon was polite, calm and elegant.

"Hello, Your Highness Aegon." Tai Chu saluted respectfully before asking in doubt, "I remember Duke Tywin."

"Thanks to Lord Varys!" Dany laughed, repeating Varys' version of "Orphan of Zhao".

"Your Majesty's aunt and nephew are reunited, congratulations!"

A strange color flashed in Tai Chu's eyes: Congratulations, the Dragon Queen has a huge flaw!

"It is indeed worthy of joy. My nephew is young and promising, with lofty aspirations, and will become a great weapon in the future! If it weren't for the epidemic, I would have sent him to Meereen for training."

The Dragon Queen's expression is as happy and proud as a mother whose son has been admitted to Tsinghua University.

Aegon lifted his chin proudly, too.

Tai Chu's eyes flashed again, and he was sure: Dragon Queen cherishes this nephew very much!

Tyrion glanced at the two aunts and nephews who were "a friendly family", and asked the representative of the Iron Bank: "Mr. Taichu, you look haggard, and you seem to have traveled a long distance?"

"Yes, I came from Braavos, changed horses all the way, traveled thousands of miles a day, crossed the Norvos Mountains, walked the Lorne Plain, passed Qohor, reached Mataris, and turned to Thoros.

And the New Ghisians have already received our letter crows, and immediately helped the Iron Bank organize a fleet. When I arrived at Tolos, the Iron Bank's fleet had already entered the Sea of ​​Sorrow.

Finally, we met at the mouth of Slaver's Bay and came to Astapor together. "

Tai Chu didn't hide anything, and explained his itinerary and the arrangement of Iron Bank.

"Can the New Ghis tell you about the Allied plan to drop greyscale stone men into Slaver's Bay?" Tyrion asked with a strange smile.

Tai Chu avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "We have our own news channel, and we know that Her Majesty the Queen has brought the epidemic under control immediately. The epidemic never broke out at all, and the plan of the Allied Forces failed."

"The energy of the Iron Bank is really powerful! The Allies and the Queen are fighting a world war, but you can do business on both ends safely." The little devil praised with a thumbs up.

"Our business has spread throughout the civilized world, and serves all who keep their word."

Tai Chu didn't care whether he was sincere or false, and he accepted his compliment as a matter of course.

"Have you started preparing the food? It will be severe winter in ten days or so." Dany asked.

"Hehe," Tai Chu showed a proud smile on his thin dry face, "Your wheat has been planted for more than a month."

"Could it be that you started farming as soon as we negotiated a business deal in more than a month? Isn't the efficiency too high?" Dany doubted.

"We're only as efficient as the ravens fly."

Tyrion's heart moved, and he asked: "You will not contract out the project of growing grain, will you?"

"Our iron bank is a bank, so we can't cultivate our own land. Of course, we have to contract out the business of purchasing grain to big grain merchants in major city-states." Tai Chu nodded.

"Then the big grain merchants will subcontract to various small grain merchants, and the small merchants will find the manor owner? You are making too much money." Tyrion said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Tai Chu glared at him, and said lightly: "You can try it. I can guarantee that even if you have ten fathers who can pull gold, it's not bad enough."

"Your Excellency seems to be hostile to me?" Tyrion wondered.

"No hostility, I'm just discussing the matter."

Dani pointed to a row of sailboats outside the window, and said: "I see that your fleet is mostly big ships, not many long ships, can you guarantee safety?

I can tell you that in Slaver's Bay, I will keep you safe.But in the Bay of Sorrows, in the Sea of ​​Summer, the safety of gold is not my concern. "

After hesitating for a moment, Tai Chu paid attention to the expression of the Dragon Queen, and said slowly: "Leaving Slaver's Bay, we will be escorted by the Iron Fleet of Ghis."

"Wow!" Tyrion yelled strangely, his eyes were playful, and he went back and forth between the dragon queen and Tychu.

Dani nodded in relief, and said, "So, I'm relieved."

"Don't worry?" Tyrion looked strange, "Your Majesty, don't you plan to sneak attack on New Ghis while the Iron Fleet is leaving the port?"

"Shut up!" the Dragon Queen roared.

Tai Chu's complexion changed one after another, becoming uncertain.

Seeing this, old Yimon quickly stood up, held his wine glass and said, "Come, drink, drink! Today's banquet has nothing to do with the war or the allies. Your Excellency Taichu is a guest from afar. Let's toast him!"

5000 million golden dragons, plus 1000 million golden dragon jewelry, sounds like a lot, but in fact the total weight does not exceed 900 tons.

It was loaded in one night and one morning, and they were loaded on six fast freight ships equipped with 6 oars.

Taichu seemed to be in a hurry to deposit the gold in the iron vault, and after lunch, he led the fleet to leave the Astapor wharf.

Back and forth, he didn't even spend a day in Slaver's Bay.

Looking at the fleet of white sails disappearing into the blue sky and blue sea, Tyrion looked away and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, how is my performance?"

"So-so." Dani said flatly.

"So-so?" Tyrion was very dissatisfied, "I have already tricked that goatee. The Allied fleet is gathering towards New Ghis, and the defense of Alleria and Thoros will be seriously insufficient."

Well, at the banquet that hosted Taichu before, Tyrion and the Dragon Queen cooperated and performed a scene.

Let Tai Chu think that the Dragon Queen is going to attack Xin Jisi, and cover up her real thoughts.

Dany did plan to go south to New Ghis before. For this reason, the first fleet of the big crab and the second fleet of Garth have been training for a month.

In the process of taking Slaver's Bay, Dany captured a large number of sea ships, and then hundreds of ships belonging to the great slave owners were confiscated.

In fact, Dany has never been short of ships.

In fact, in the past two years, Blackbeard Grolai has incorporated and built hundreds of warships for the Dragon Queen.

But Grole doesn't have the ability to command naval operations, nor is he good at training sailors—these are military skills monopolized by nobles.

Barristan was capable, but he had been helping Dany make good officers for the army, and he had neither the time nor the experience.

The arrival of the big crab and the second son of the Hightower family changed this situation.

The big crab was raised as the heir of the earl. His family is an island, Crab Island. Can he do it without knowing the navy?

Galth Hightower has more experience. He served as an attendant under Earl Redwyne, commander of the fleet of Arbor Island, when he was a teenager, and has been in charge of the coastal defense of Old Town since he was an adult.

Dani frowned and said, "Based on my current strength, I don't need any tricks to win Tolos. The only thing is, I'm not sure about the allied forces' cards, so I can only change the plan, disrupting my own rhythm, and hoping to disrupt the opponent's rhythm."

"Are you thinking too much? With five dragons and wildfires, you're sure to win." Tyrion said.

"The Windblown Group originally agreed to be my spies, but now, there is no news at all." Dany said.

Even the Iron Bank knew that she had controlled the Slave Bay epidemic, so it was impossible for the Allied Forces not to know.

The fact that the Allied Forces knew about it meant that the Windblown Brigade also knew about it.

What trump card does the Allied Forces have, which is more powerful than the stone man, so that the Windblown Group insists that the Dragon Queen will win or lose?

Tyrion's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "The only one who can deal with a dragon is a dragon."

Dany the Dragon was lost in thought.

"Aunt Dany!"

Aegon ran over from downstairs panting, "My cousin's gray blight has been cured, can he be released?"
