The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

There are three coins on Green Clay's table, namely a gold dragon, a silver deer, and a bronze star.

One golden dragon is equal to 10 silver deer, and one silver deer is equal to 100 bronze stars.

Green roughly converted the currency from his previous life. A gold dragon is about 1,000 yuan, a silver deer is about 100 yuan, and a bronze star is about 1 yuan.

[The currency system, value, conversion, etc. are set to facilitate writing]

[A few more examples for easier reading: a set of full plate armor starts from 10 gold dragons, a set of chain mail starts from 3 gold dragons, a fine war horse starts from 16 gold dragons, an Unsullied starts from 100 gold dragons (shipping charges are not included), a A meal with meat and a glass of beer outside costs 20 to 30 bronze stars, and farmers’ annual income is about 1 gold dragon]

The total value of the coins currently in Kleiber's vault is about more than 2,000 gold dragons. In terms of cash, the goods in the lord's warehouse are not included in this calculation.

However, the foreign debt is 5,000 gold dragons, and the interest paid last year was 500 gold dragons.

After the Reaver War, under the instruction of Hand of the King Jon Arryn, the nobles and merchants of the valley forcibly issued loans in order to help the noble lords of the Crab Claw Peninsula "get through the difficulties."

This was also one of the treaties for the post-war peace on the Crab Claw Peninsula.

You will never see a golden dragon. The nobles and merchants of the valley use the territory that originally belonged to you as the principal of the loan.

It's just that hard.

You can refuse. It just so happens that Baratheon's armor has not yet been put into storage, and Robert has not had enough of fighting yet.

The price of the Kraibo territory is 5,000 gold dragons, and the annual interest paid by the Kraibo family has accumulated to 7,500 gold dragons.

According to the contract, 2,500 gold dragons will be paid for another five years, and the principal of 5,000 gold dragons will be added in the last year.

This is the Red Castle's suppression method stemming from the vigilance of the Crab Claw Peninsula nobles.

The interest rate for post-war construction was nominally good, and the share was just right. It could survive without being forced to take risks, and it could restrict development.

The weak and peaceful lord of Crab Claw Peninsula is a good lord.

……………………

The entire Kraibo Territory has a population of more than 2,000 people. Because of the need to guard against the year-round harassment of the territory by mountain barbarians, there are always 200 clan soldiers, which is equivalent to full-time soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, this is actually the limit.

Because of frequent wars, the territory's population ratio is more male than female.

The women here have strong bones. Most women need to farm and hunt like men. There are many spearwives.

As long as the weapons are in place, the spearwives can also be recruited to fight for money and men.

Theoretically, if the craftsmen, old and weak are left behind, and all the troops are mobilized, the maximum number of troops can reach 1,500.

Facing the savage lords in the surrounding valleys, the small ones only number a few dozen, and the large ones only have a few hundred people. They are still scattered... But they can be pushed aside!

Why else farm? As I said just now, the motto of the Kleb family has been temporarily changed to "Strength is better than hard work."

First of all, we should deal with the mountain savage tribes who gathered together to rob because Green, the successor, was young.

Start with this battle.

The next day, the clouds were heavy.

The arc-shaped Whispering Castle was built in a crude manner and not elegant enough.

But it is big enough to accommodate all the more than 1,000 surrounding residents during the war.

Green stood on the castle wall more than 20 meters high and looked down. The butler Herschel and Knight Pell stood behind Green.

The war lasted for seven years after King Robert's death. Whispering City should have planned for it early.

Green looked south.

The terrain in the south is gentle. Based on the scale of 10,000 people, the first ring road is planned to be built first, and then the second ring... Green chuckled, let's not call it the first ring road, let's call it the inner city.

"Herschel Records."

"The fishing village will be renamed Mermaid Port from now on."

The butler Herschel faithfully recorded.

"The upper half of the mermaid is a girl, and the lower half is a fish tail. The seven gods will be amazed by the beauty of the mermaid."

Hershel hesitated and asked: "My master, is this description a bit offensive... Some monks are not friendly to us."

Green, the atheist, originally wanted to say that the Seven Gods would be fascinated by the sight of him, but this was his choice of words after he accepted it.

"Thank you for your advice, Herschel."

Green paused. He opened his mouth and said, "Bard, you can find some reliable bards, convey the meaning, and let them do the rest. They are the professionals."

"Herschel continued to record that mermaids love to sing heart-touching songs passed down from generation to generation. Mermaids are extremely shy and only come out of the sea to sing late at night when no one is around. The beautiful voice seems to be... Yeah, it sounds like nature.”

Green originally wanted to say that he had been kissed by the Seven Gods, so he kept it quiet.

"Mermaids are carefree, kind and optimistic. Only when they are extremely sad and heartbroken will they shed tears. The mermaid's tears will turn into the most crystal clear pearls in the world, and every tear will form a pearl."

……………………

"A mermaid can only fall in love with one person in her life. A mermaid who is truly in love will make a vow of love."

"The vow of love...it's important to keep a record of this."

"I am willing to be so-and-so's lover, to love what he loves, to think what he thinks, to bear pain for him, and to go through suffering. No matter whether he is poor or rich, whether he is humble or noble, whether he is in troubled times, or whether God does not care about him, I will Live for him, die for him, never leave, forever!"

The lips of the butler Herschel and Knight Pell opened at the same time, with rich expressions.

Green felt they were impressed and believed.

Is the fishing village actually a hidden legendary place?

Seeing this, Green changed his original plan.

Only your own secrets are real secrets, so let’s fool around together.

Therefore, Green also believed in the legend of the mermaid.

Don’t forget the important point, mermaids are the shyest people in the world, and it’s normal to not find them.

Come, come to Mermaid Port and go crazy about mermaids.

"This is a secret that has only been passed down orally among successive generations of Kleb chiefs. I will tell you now. First of all, you two are the people I trust the most."

Hershel and Pearl puffed out their chests.

Yes, there is no one more reliable than me in this world!

"First of all, we need to mobilize all the villagers in the fishing village to build a simple dock nearby. The location needs to be found, and the distance can be farther. The most important thing is to facilitate the docking of large ships."

"The second step is to build a lighthouse to guide nearby ships."

"At the same time, there must be pubs, hotels, and shops. The requirements are not high at the beginning. The main thing is that the functions must be complete. We must earn every bronze star."

"Strong villagers must be armed, and the elderly and weak can be assigned suitable positions in the store. We must ensure the safety of friendly customers."

"Mermaid Harbor must become more and more beautiful and comfortable, and we must not disappoint the guests who come here for its reputation."

"These are important."

……………………

The chief steward seemed to understand: "My lord, the longer the legend of the mermaid lasts and the wider it spreads, the more people will be attracted to fishing... In Mermaid Port, our leather can be sold directly to buyers and will no longer be used by mobile traders. Lower prices. Not just leather... Mermaid Harbor will become a trading post."

"No wonder you are willing to spread the legend of mermaids..."

"Yes, rules are dead. For the development of the territory, as your lord, necessary sacrifices are inevitable."

"It's up to you to keep it secret and spread it naturally."

After speaking, Green turned his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed.

The hem of Green's robe moved in the wind.

Herschel bowed down with great solemnity.

Pell, who was wearing plate armor, had bulging veins on the back of his hand holding the sword hilt, and he leaned down with Hershel.
