The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

"Master Will, I want to take a look at the night watchman's city plan first, so as to assess how much money we need to provide you." Najo Dimitis said.

"No problem!" Will was refreshed.

The other party is a banker, so it is natural to inspect the goods first.

"Master Will, you are the most straightforward customer I have ever met in business cooperation."

"I like being direct, saving time for myself and also saving time for partners."

"Not bad, but for a big expert like you, it's too great, I decided to pay you in installments."

"As you wish!" Will smiled.

"In the first phase, invest in your city construction first. At the same time, I need you to provide me with a piece of land for free. I want to build the first bank branch of the iron vault on this land: the Night Watchman Bank. No matter it is a loan. A bronze star or a golden dragon for deposit, our bank will accept it."

"Can you accept the hide mortgage?" Will asked.

"No answer!"

"For the tens of thousands of free citizens who have no money but only things, the greater profit is not money borrowing, but the exchange of things, or the mortgage of money with things. This works in the city of night watchers and can be faster To help you establish credit and channels for borrowing."

Naho pondered for a moment: "But what we are doing is a banking business. If we do mortgages?... It becomes a trade in goods."

"If there are too many mortgaged things and the free people cannot redeem them, Donghaiwang's trade route is always open for your goods. If you are afraid of trouble, just hand it over to my trade boat. Just wait for the collection. Money will do."

"No, I want the business to be simpler."

"Then you can open your first bank in Baigang, which is more than ten times stronger than opening a bank in the Night Watcher City. The commoners and nobles there trade for money, circulate golden dragons, silver deer and bronze stars. Tens of thousands of free people, ten thousand Wolfwood Mountains, thousands of aboriginal people, their more habit is bartering, Mr. Najo, you need a transition period."

Naho was silent again.

He is obsessed with the traditional business experience of the past millennia and cannot escape temporarily. When he conducts banking business in the form of pawns, he feels that banking business will become more complicated, and eventually become a trader, rather than purely. bank.

Will said: "Let's go, Mr. Najo, let's look at my city plan first."

"it is good!"

In a ‘open-top’ carriage, Will and Naho were standing on the carriage. The carriage driver’s whip blasted in the air vainly, driving the carriage on a four-horseside path. This is the road between the village and the city, and the road between the city and the city is the width of eight horses side by side.

"This is Mole Village!" Will said.

The Mole Village was moved from the ground to the ground, and the houses were one and the other, and they all looked exactly the same from the outside.

"This village has been expanded tenfold from the original foundation, and is inhabited by the families of the aborigines and night watchmen."

"It doesn't look too big! I remember your Great Wall Legion has tens of thousands of people, and it can accommodate at most thousands of soldiers' family members."

"The underground is three times larger than the ground." Will smiled. "When the winter arrives, the snow on the ground is higher than that of people, and people cannot walk on the ground. So people live underground, just like moles."

"Oh, then I have to go underground."

"Then go and see! The military families living in Mole Village are all family members of the General Centurion and others."

"The soldier's family is not here?"

"Three miles behind Mole Village, there is a military town, which is several times larger than Mole Village."

The two were talking, and the carriage descended down the **** to the underground of Mole Village.

The underground roads are wider and wider on the ground. People are constantly coming and going. There are lights hanging at the gates of every household, and the torches lit by kerosene are burning and lighting at the intersections.

"Does the road torch never go out?"

"It will go out, and half of the torch will be extinguished after ten o'clock in the evening."

"How much kerosene does this consume!"

"Fire oil? On the Wolfwood Mountain Range, fire oil comes out directly from the ground. It can be used for thousands of years."

Behind Will and Naho, followed by Lord Will's guards and Mr. Naho's four swordsmen, horsemen, armored swords, majestic and majestic.

The carriage passed by Da Jili's house, and there was a man in swordsman costume crooked by the door, his mouth full of alcohol, and a small hip flask in his hand that could drink directly. Another young boy dressed as a knight stood beside him, staring at the drunk man on the ground with full eyes.

With the sound of the carriage, the drunkard didn't even lift his head, but the young man turned his head and saw Will and Naho. He was overjoyed and ran up and stood in the middle of the road, forcing the carriage to stop.

"Master Will, you are back." The young man was surprised and delighted.

He is one of Will's personal guards: Podric Pine.

"I haven't returned to the Black Castle yet, I brought Mr. Najo to see our city construction. Mr. Najo is a big benefactor and we need his money." Will smiled. He stretched out his hand to Podric, Podric reached out and held Will's hand, Will used a little force, Podric jumped into the carriage, and the three of them stood on the carriage and walked together.

The drunk on the ground at the door was naturally James Lannister. He is Will’s sword and is responsible for protecting Will’s children here: Will Jr. who is considered by Melisandre to be the future lighter.

The carriage drove past Dar Jilly's house, and James on the ground didn't even look up, but leaned on the ground comfortably, drinking himself.

"Baldrick, how is my Will Jr.?"

Poderek was chattering suddenly, but he stopped talking, he and Naho had a pair of eyes, and suddenly made up his mind and closed his mouth.

The child is too honest to even lie.

He didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to tell the truth, so he chose to shut up.

Wil laughed.

He doesn’t worry about what Melisandre will do to Will. Podrick and James are there, his mother, Darjeel, and a large family are petting the little guy, but if it’s a good thing Podrick must have said it. But if it is a bad thing, it is impossible.

"Master Will's house is here?" Naho asked. He saw that Poderek and the drunks on the ground were both with narrow swords. This style was similar to his four Braavos swordsmen.

The swordsmen of Braavos are known for their lightness and speed. For the sake of speed and agility, the swords are too heavy or too long, which is why Braavos' swordsmen are narrow swords.

On the continent of Westeros, due to the war, the sword is dominated by wide and long blades, and the main force is combined with a large opening. Braavos' swordsmen, main rangers and wanderers, value grace and aesthetics, and narrow swords are more convenient.

0879 Chapter 2 Mole Village, Soldier Town, Night Watch City.

Behind the Mole Village is the first real town, and there is a free trade market between the small town of Donghaiwang in Seal Bay.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Mole Village. Podrick got out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Will and the others. The carriage continued south, and Poderek returned to the village on his own, back to Dar Jie's home.

The carriage arrived in the town half an hour later.

Said it is a small town, it is actually more like a small town.

It is mainly occupied by the families of the soldiers. The ground buildings are more orderly than the Mole Village, and the houses are built higher. The underground buildings are also excellent. There are underground passages that connect the Mole Village in front and the East China Sea to the east.

Naho was surprised after seeing the soldier town. The regularity and underground drainage of these buildings are very remarkable. Although there are no tall buildings, the buildings on the ground are eye-opening.

The whole underground is a city.

How much does it cost? If the money came from Lord Will, where did Lord Will's money come from? Lannister in the West owes a lot of money to the Iron Treasury. This time Naho hopes to persuade Lord Will to pay the debt to the West. It doesn't matter if it can't be done now, it just counts on the future kingdom.

This is also the usual tactic of Tiejinku-to foster a new force, and this force must bear Tiejincu's previous debts, although it has nothing to do with the new force.

From the town, the carriage continued south.

Naho already has a better understanding of Will's big city planning. Behind is a real big city: Night Watch City. There is a living space that can accommodate 100,000 people, and both underground and ground buildings are still being built. Residents of Night Watch City are freed people from outside the Great Wall and free people from the Wolfwood tribe. The nursing homes for soldiers of the Great Wall Legion and the disabled will live here.

One of the red and towering buildings caught Najo's eyes.

"What kind of building is that?"

"Pyromancer headquarters building."

"Pyromancer?"

"Yes, Pyromancers who study wildfire substances, of course they prefer people to call them wise men."

"The wise man?"

"Correct!"

"How many Pyromancers are under Lord Will."

"Currently there are about a thousand people. Pyromancers don't live here. On the east coast, there is a Pyromancer town, which houses all the Pyromancers and apprentices in the mainland, as well as a Pyromance school."

"Is this building idle here?"

"Of course not. The Great Wise Man Adonis and his assistants live here. The headquarters building mainly focuses on researching theories and storing academic materials, as well as diplomacy with great wizards of other faiths."

The carriage continued to move forward, and various hotels appeared one after another. Naho was surprised to see the hotel from Braavos. This is an open city. Anyone can come to this city to do business. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of residents is a huge number. Various stores have opened, and many goods are filled with shelves inside the store.

*

The next day, Najo discovered a city within a city.

On the third day, the special city wall, but not high, the towering gate, the wall made of huge rocks, the door frame of the gate is decorated with a black narrow sword carved with three big characters: Shengcai City!

"What does this mean?" Naho pointed to the words Sacred City.

"Any sin, dispute, right and wrong, you can come here to seek protection from God and get the fairest verdict."

"What **** is so powerful?"

"The God of Time and Space!"

"What **** does Lord Will believe in?"

"The God of Time and Space!"

Naho smiled: "This is the first time I have heard of the God of Time and Space."

"Any **** is in time and space; no life can escape the footsteps of time; everything is eternal in time and space. Understanding the **** of time and space, we can understand the past and present of the world, and understand the sun Moon and stars, things rise and fall."

Naho issued a request: "Master Will, can I enter the Holy Trinity City to see it?"

"No, unless you join the Tribunal to become a believer, or you have something to decide." Will said lightly.

"Oh, who is in control of the Holy Tribe City?"

"The God of Time and Space!"

Naho shrugged, knowing that he had asked for nothing, Lord Will refused to say, so okay, he will not say yes for the time being.

"Master Will, my bank branch is going to be built in the center of Night Watch City, do you think it will work?"

"As you wish!" Will almost responsive to Naho's request.

Nahuo doubted whether Lord Will was a member of the iron vault.

"Can any place I fancy a bank branch?"

"Any place on the night watchman's site, you fancy it, we will build it!" Will smiled, "Since Mr. Naho is not afraid of the impact of a ghost, he is willing to use money to help me promote the night watchman to rule the people on the ground. Our money flows through and improves everyone’s living standards. I can’t find a reason to refuse. But if you don’t want to increase the collateral project, I will do it!”

"Master Will do it?"

"Yes. When the money you invested comes in, my money will be withdrawn. I will do the mortgage **** business. I will open **** shops in every small town, many small towns, and also in the night watch city. People's Animal skins, weapons, jade, family heirlooms, anything can be used as mortgage for money."

"No. No, no, no!" Naho said hurriedly, "Master Will, our Iron Vault opened a bank here. For at least 20 years, no other banks of any nature can appear."

"My **** shop is not a bank."

"But the nature is similar to the bank, and it will threaten the bank's business. When everyone finds that barter and pawns are more convenient to exchange money, they will not come to my bank."

Wil haha ​​smiled: "Mr. Naho, either your bank is also a **** and you trade things, or I will do it."

"No, no, Lord Will, you can't do this."

"That's it. We won't discuss this matter anymore. Either you do it or I do it. I can't stop it!" Will said flatly.

This is the first time he appears to be inconsistent with Naho, of course, the opinion of Lord Will shall prevail, and it is absolutely irrefutable.

Naho was stunned for a long time and said, "Well, let's do it!"

He absolutely cannot tolerate any commercial behavior that threatens the bank's business. When the contract is signed, Will will know how demanding Naho is.

However, the first generation of capitalists are like this: Monopoly is the only goal, and the six relatives do not recognize it.

*

"What city is that?" Najo found another city within a city. He felt familiar.

"The branch of the Black and White Academy!" Will smiled, "It's just that they are not called the Black and White Academy in Westeros, but the Mokers. That is the first branch of the Faceless — Moke City! Very small castle."

Naho couldn't believe it, and was speechless in shock.

He seemed to understand why the smiling death **** Mai Yin in the black and white courtyard would be Daenerys' personal guard.

Lord Will's influence. He went deep into the black and white courtyard of the faceless.
