Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 169 168. Dragon Stone Island and the Bank

"Three conditions!" Tyrion raised three fingers.

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

"First, we want Dragonstone Island, which will become the territory of the empire.

Second, the king's legisl must allow the empire to build Imperial Bank and state-owned factories in the king's legislature, and shall not interfere with or prevent the implementation of Imperial Bank in any way or means.

Third, in order to ensure the security of the Imperial Bank, we need a portion of the Imperial soldiers to be stationed near the banks."

Tyrion's three conditions were a bit harsh, each of which would intensify its control over the king's leadership. Melson looked ugly. As early as when the Azenian Empire was promoting banknoteization, several of their countries explicitly prohibited the circulation of banknotes in their own markets.

No one is a fool. It is impossible for the Azeniah Empire to exchange all their real money and silver with paper money. Although they do not allow the civilians to use it, the top leaders are using it themselves.

Because the nobles wanted luxury goods or other industrial products produced by the Azenian Empire, they had to buy them with Changshalun.

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

After all, the big heads sold by imperial products are always nobles of all sizes. Like civilians in other places, they rarely have money to buy clothes or other daily necessities produced by the imperial system.

Now Tyrion's conditions undoubtedly want to control the economy of Wangling and Stormland. Now the king still owes millions of golden dragons from the Azenian Empire to not pay off. If he agrees to the Azenian Empire's conditions, then the king is really not the king's.

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

After a little thought, Melson decided to ask Cersei first, which would be better to kick the ball back in such a thing.

Finally, this matter was temporarily put aside.

The two sides then talked twice, and finally decided to go to the Iron Throne to meet Cersei. Tyrion was too lazy to go, but Messerra happened to want to visit Cersei, so Tyrion simply went to meet Cersei directly.

The team for this trip was relatively large, because it was related to the safety of the empire and the prime minister, and there were only 3,000 guards for this trip.

Fortunately, the soldiers stationed in Changxia were all soldiers with updated equipment. The soldiers did not need to wear armor. They were all carefully designed uniforms and rifles, and the logistics pressure also decreased.

Tyrion and Messaila took the train to Nuquan City first. After arriving at Nuquan City, they had to take a carriage or ride a horse.

The train made Melson so shocked that he couldn't speak. Originally, Melson had seen the railway tracks in Hejiandi, but he had never seen the train.

When I learned that this kind of steel beast only needs to "eat" those worthless coals, it can actually run day and night. The most important thing is that its transportation capacity is too strong!

Three thousand people can reach Nuquan City in one day and night. If the Azenian Empire wants to attack Wangling, it can transport tens of thousands of people and a large amount of supplies to Nuquan City in one day and night.

Wang Ling probably hadn't even assembled the army at this time. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead silently. Melson tried his best to show his experience of the world and negotiated with Messella.

After arriving at Nuquan City, the journey from Nuquan City to Junlin became more difficult, and it took several days to arrive at Junlin.

When he arrived outside Junlin City, Tyrion sniffed in surprise. It was strange that the smell of Junlin could not be smelled, although it would still smell a little while after careful smell.

Seeing Tyrion's appearance, Melson said proudly: "Queen Cersei had asked someone to clean up all kinds of garbage from King's Landing early, even the poor cellar was no exception."

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

Looking at the other party's proud look, Tyrion and Messai Lamer remained silent. The cleaning lady in Changxia City not to mention a copper coin a day, even Changxia Lun was reluctant to do so.

(1 long Xialun = 1 copper coin)

Messaila sat on Heiki's back and slowly walked towards the Red Fort, while Tyrion followed Heiki's dog legs, which made him feel safer.

Moreover, Tyrion also has two hundred elites, so he has no sense of security towards King Lin, even if in theory no one dares to attack him.

On the streets of King's Landing, many civilians whispered to Messaila and their group. Messaila had an impression of them. They had seen Messaila marrying before, but there was no such a big dog at that time.

The two-meter-high dog is the focus of the crowd wherever it is, and the most attractive thing is the army of the Azenian Empire, with two hundred people not wearing armor or holding spears.

For the people who are king, 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 a pure vase? And is the wooden stick in their hands intended to kill people?

After Messella and Tyrion arrived at Red Fort, they were like they were returning home, without anyone leading them, and they came directly to the Throne Hall.

Cersei on the Iron Throne immediately stood up happily after seeing the visitor, came to Messaira and hugged Messaira, "Why are you here so quickly?"

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

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

At this time, Melson immediately introduced the train and railway to Cersei. Cersei was shocked by this. Unexpectedly, the Azeonian Empire now had such things.

And according to Melson's meaning, if the Empire wants to, tens of thousands of soldiers will arrive in Nuquan City in one day and will be able to take down King's Landing in two days.

"Uncle, I will talk to my mother first. Can you talk about business in the evening?" Messella blinked at Tyrion.

Tyrion immediately understood the meaning of Messaila, which was to prepare to do ideological work for Cersei first so that Cersei could more easily accept the conditions of the empire.

"Of course there is no problem. My dear sister looks very haggard recently. Maybe the complicated government affairs make you overwhelmed. Let Messaila chat with you."

Then Tyrion led a team of guards to the room he had lived in before. It seemed that there was a lot of dust. This was normal. I didn't expect Cersei to clean the room he lived in before.

The fact that it was not possible for someone to throw away all the furniture in this house shows that Cersei was still relatively rational and restrained.

"Come on, clean up here." Tyrion called the maid to clean the room. Looking at the maid's simple hairstyle and appearance, Tyrion couldn't help but sigh at Theon's foresight.

No wonder His Majesty had to add the conditions of bust and appearance when choosing a maid. If he faced the maid like Junlin every day, Tyrion felt that he was in no good mood to work.

"Your Majesty is right. Your chest and face can really make people have a good mood to work!"
