Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 42.

As the news of the construction of Haijiang City spread, a large number of refugees began to move closer to Haijiang City.

There is no other reason, either to gamble that the rumors are true, or to wait in place to be starved to death.

And Theon also accepted everything according to the order, which solved the hidden danger of Twin River City, and the northern border was completely worry-free.

At the same time, Theon also wrote a "letter for help" to Littlefinger and his wife in the Valley, believing that Littlefinger's assassination and the food in the Valley will be delivered soon.

That's right, with a large number of refugees participating in the construction of Haijiang City's docks and various facilities, the food in Theon's hands alone won't last long.

So Theon reluctantly wrote a greeting letter and borrowed a lot of food from Petyr Baelish, the guardian of the valley.

And Littlefinger was also very generous, agreeing to Theon's seemingly unreasonable request.

Theon couldn't help feeling that it was a wise decision not to let Baelish die in King's Landing, but Theon also knew that Littlefinger would not let it go.

But for Theon, food is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else can be put away later, even for the recovery of Theon in the entire riverland, it will be a matter of haste.

On the surface of King’s Landing, the battle situation has been decided, and all places are busy with their own affairs. For Theon, the most important thing now is to change Haijiang City into Haijiang Port.

Then use Haijiang Port as the secondary school station, and build a huge port at the end of the Blue Fork River, so that Tiemin Bay can be connected with the Blue Fork River.

The caravan under Theon's rule can conduct extremely convenient trade with Essos, which greatly promotes development.

And the first batch of materials transported through the Blue Fork River was the "support" from the valley.

A large amount of food was moved from the cargo ship in the eyes of everyone full of hope. Sean watched this scene on the pier, and began to plan the next strategy to calm the people in his heart.

Whether it is the project to transform Haijiang Port in Haijiang City or the construction of the Blue Fork River Port, the construction period is at most three months.

Three months later, this group of continuously gathering refugees will definitely need resettlement. In fact, there are at least 20 refugees not only around Haijiang City, but also in the entire Riverland.

As long as half of them will die from hunger, disease, or man-made disasters, at most 10 people will survive.

And Theon's current main force has begun to recover the seven cities he originally designated.

These seven cities are scattered in the riverland in a gourd shape, and will be the military and political center of the entire riverland in the future.

In the future, Theon's decree will first notify the seven cities, and then spread out from the city as the center.

The seven cities were all expanded from small towns, and what Theon valued was the geographical location of these seven places. Once a war broke out, the seven cities could support each other without being cut off and surrounded by delays.

Fifty days passed in a flash.

The entire riverland has surrendered to Theon on the surface, but it is unknown how many nobles are secretly eager to move.

Sean was not in the mood to cook them right away, looking at the soap full of flower fragrance in front of him, Sean showed satisfaction.

Glass soap, black powder, three essential treasures for time travel.

Glass Westeros already exists, and Theon himself has little knowledge of the technology of making glass.

As for the black gunpowder, Sean prepared it according to the recipe, but it wouldn't explode, only a few sparks came out.

So Sean set his sights on the easiest soap to make. Using plant ash and animal fat, and adding some spices, you can make a soap with an excellent appearance.

In fact, Theon originally planned to purify the distilled wine, but brewing wine consumes too much food, and even Theon has clearly stipulated that no one is allowed to use food to make wine without permission.

Regardless of nobles or civilians, once discovered, it will start in three years and there will be no ceiling.

Of course, Theon does not prohibit the circulation of alcohol. All the seven major cities have official wineries. If you want to drink or sell them, you can go to the seven major cities to buy.

At present, the soap produced by Theon is only intended to go to the high-end market, and is sold exclusively to big nobles everywhere, while the scraps left over from production are slightly processed and sold to small nobles and little knights.

As for civilians, Theon is not likely to be sold at present, because the purchasing power is too low, and there is not so much animal fat.

Theon called Tom Bill and showed him the soap he had made.

After Tom Bill learned about it, he immediately realized the business opportunity of this thing. If he could sell it to the slave owners of Essos, he would definitely be able to get back a large number of golden dragons.

However, Theon told Tom Bill that the soap sold to Essos can only be purchased with food, cloth and other materials, and they do not accept gold dragons.

You only need to take out [-]% of the soap and sell it in Westeros in exchange for a golden dragon.

Essos didn't have a long night to talk about, and at the same time, the climate was suitable, and the nine free trade city-states were even richer.

And Theon believed that the group of slaveholders didn't mind taking out dusty gold coins to buy a luxury that was a status symbol.

As for how to become a status symbol of luxury goods?
Theon took out a pamphlet and handed it to Tom Bill, "After you go to Essos, don't sell it directly, first use my name to meet the great slave owners of the major city-states.

Then give them the soap as a gift, and don't forget to demonstrate the effect of the soap when you visit! "

Theon told Tom Bill his advertising ideas, and he was taken aback for a while, knowing for the first time that he could do business like this.

In business, what is often sold is not a product, but a brand, a series of so-called identity and status symbols brought by the brand.

In this way, Tom Bill went to Braavos with the first batch of 500 yuan soap manufactured.
