Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 169. 168. Dragonstone Island and the Bank
"Three conditions!" Tyrion held up three fingers.

"You said." Mersen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"First, we want Dragonstone, and Dragonstone will become Imperial territory.

Second, the royal territory must allow the empire to build the imperial bank and state-owned factories in the royal territory, and must not interfere with or prevent the implementation of the imperial bank in any way or means.

Third, in order to ensure the safe construction of the Imperial Bank, we need some Imperial soldiers stationed near the bank. "

Tyrion's three conditions are a bit harsh, and each of them will intensify his control over the king's territory. Mersen's face is ugly. As early as when the Azenian Empire promoted paper money, several of their countries explicitly banned paper money from being sold in their own country. Circulation on the national market.

No one is a fool, it is impossible for the Azenian Empire to exchange all their real money with banknotes, but although they don't let the common people use it, the high-level people use it themselves.

Because nobles want to buy luxury goods or other industrial products produced by the Azenian Empire, they have to use Changshalun to buy them.

Although the empire encountered various resistance and difficulties in foreign trade in promoting banknotes, its actual profits did not decrease much.

After all, nobles, large and small, are always the ones who sell most of the products of the empire. Like ordinary people in other places, they rarely have the money to buy clothes or other daily necessities produced by the empire.

And now Tyrion's conditions undoubtedly want to control the economy of Wangling and Stormland. Now the kingship still owes the millions of gold dragons owed to the Azenian Empire and has not paid off. If you agree to the conditions of the Azenian Empire, then The king's collar is really not the king's collar.

"Prime Minister Tyrion, I am very sorry, I need to ask Her Majesty the Queen for these three conditions."

Mersen, who originally planned to refuse directly, decided to ask Cersei first after a little consideration. It is better to kick the ball back in such matters.

In the end, this matter was put aside for the time being.

Then the two sides talked twice, and finally decided that Tyrion would go to the Iron Throne to meet Cersei. Tyrion was too lazy to go, but Myrcella just wanted to visit Cersei, so Tyrion went to meet Cersei directly. Cersei.

The team for this trip is relatively large, because it is related to the safety of the Empress and Prime Minister of the Empire, there are 3000 guards for this trip.

Fortunately, the soldiers stationed in Changxia are all soldiers who have updated their equipment. Soldiers do not need to wear armor. They are all well-designed military uniforms and rifles, and the pressure on logistics is also reduced.

Tyrion and Myrcella take the train to Maiden Springs first, and after arriving in Maiden Springs, they will take a carriage or ride a horse.

As for the train, Mersen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Originally, Mersen had also seen the railway tracks in Riverland, but he had never seen the train.

After learning that this steel behemoth only needs to "eat" those worthless coals, it can run around the clock. The most important thing is that the transportation capacity is too strong!
3000 people can reach Maiden Spring City in one day and night. If the Azenian Empire wants to attack Wangling, tens of thousands of people and a large amount of supplies can be transported to Maiden Spring City in one day and night.

At this time, Wang Ling probably didn't even finish gathering the army, so he silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Mersen tried his best to show that he had seen the world and negotiated with Myrcella.

After arriving at Maiden Spring City, the journey from Maiden Spring City to King's Landing was more difficult, and it took several days to reach King's Landing.

Arriving outside the city of King's Landing, Tyrion sniffled his nose in surprise. It's strange that the stench of King's Landing is already unbearable, although it still smells a bit when you smell it carefully.

Seeing Tyrion's appearance, Merson said proudly: "Queen Cersei has asked people to clean up all kinds of garbage in King's Landing, even the poor's cellar."

"By the way, Her Majesty will also give a copper coin to the farmers who clean up the garbage."

Looking at each other's proud faces, Tyrion and Myrcella remained silent. The cleaning aunt of Changxia City, let alone a copper coin a day, even 60 Changsha Lun a day was reluctant.

(1 Chang Xialun = 1 copper coin)

Myrcella sat sideways on Hexi's back and walked slowly towards the Red Castle, while Tyrion followed Hexi's dog legs, which felt more secure.

Moreover, Tyrion is still carrying two hundred elites, he has no sense of security in King's Landing, even though in theory no one should dare to do anything to him.

On the streets of King's Landing, many civilians whispered to Misaila and his party. Misaila and the others had an impression. They had seen Misaila before she got married, but they didn't have such a big dog back then.

The two-meter-high dog is the focus of the crowd no matter where it is, and the most attractive thing is the army of the Azenian Empire. The 200 people did not wear armor or hold spears.

For the people of Junlin, although the military uniforms of the imperial soldiers are very handsome, they cannot defend against bows and arrows, and they cannot defend against long swords. Isn’t this just a pure vase, and the wooden sticks in their hands are intended to smash people to death?

After Myrcella and Tyrion arrived at the Red Castle, it was as if they had returned home. They didn't need anyone to lead them directly to the throne room.

Cersei on the Iron Throne got up happily when she saw the person coming, and came to Myrcella and hugged Myrcella, "How did you come so fast?"

"We came here by train. When you went to the Empire, there was no railway yet."

"What is a railway? What is a train?" Cersei wondered.

At this time, Mersen immediately introduced trains and railways to Cersei. Cersei was shocked by this, and did not expect that the Azenian Empire now has such things.

And according to Mersen, if the empire wanted to, tens of thousands of soldiers would arrive at Maiden Springs in one day, and King's Landing would be captured in two days.

"Uncle, let me have a conversation with my mother first, can I discuss business in the evening?" Myrcella blinked at Tyrion.

Tyrion immediately understood what Myrcella meant, and it was a condition for Cersei to do ideological work first, so that Cersei could more easily accept the empire.

"Of course there is no problem. My dear old sister looks very haggard recently. Maybe you are overwhelmed by the complicated government affairs. Let Myrcella have a good chat with you."

Then Tyrion led a team of guards straight to the room he lived in before, and it seemed that there was a lot of dust, which was normal, and he didn't expect Cersei to let someone clean the room he lived in before.

No one threw away all the furniture in this house, which shows that Cersei is still relatively rational and restrained.

"Come here, clean up here." Tyrion called the maid to clean the room, looking at the maid's plain hairstyle and appearance, Tyrion couldn't help but be moved by Theon's vision.

No wonder His Majesty has to add the two criteria of bust and appearance when choosing a maid. If he faced such a maid in King's Landing every day, Tyrion would feel that he would not be in a good mood to work.

"Your Majesty is right, breasts and cheeks can really make people work in a good mood!"
