Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?

Ten days later, the mint was successfully completed, and twenty days later, a murex breeding pond covering more than 10 acres was successfully introduced with seawater.

These 10 acres were divided into three areas, and three types of murex were bred at the same time. The main reason was that these murex were all carnivorous. When food was scarce, they would fight each other. Jaehaerys didn't want to see this! He could only try to physically separate them.

The breeding pond was slightly below sea level, and there were iron nets and iron fences at the entrance to the sea to prevent natural enemies from coming in for a buffet, and to prevent the naughty mothers from running for freedom during the high tide.

The mothers of murex were easy to get. Fishermen who went out to sea to fish could get a large number of them every day. In the past, people didn't pay much attention to them. After catching them, they just threw them back into the sea.

Now Jaehaerys offered a price of one copper coin each, and these originally garbage fish immediately became fragrant.

In a few days, he received more than 10,000 conchs and put them into the breeding pond that fully simulated the underwater world. He looked forward to harvesting a large amount of conch dye next year. This dye was called "scarlet purple" by the Braavos people (try not to confuse it with the name on Blue Star, although it is the same thing).

A pound of fabric dyed with scarlet purple is worth the same as gold, and Jaehaerys is certainly not stupid enough to sell dyes. He only needs to buy undyed silk and wool fabrics from the North or the Free Trade City-States, and lightly dye them in the dye...

Hehe, deep processing creates more value and can also make more profits for him!

Of course, this is not as fast as coin casting, but it is sustainable development. If it is done well, it will be the hen that lays golden eggs on Dragonstone!

"Your Highness, with the craftsmen working day and night, 50,000 gold dragons have been successfully cast! Look!" The original person in charge of the White Harbor Mint was sent by Aerys II. His name was Robert Grafson, and he was the cousin of Earl Grafson of Seagull Town.

Later, Robert captured Gulltown, and the staunch royalist Earl Grafson was killed. After Robert was crowned, the Earl's descendants were deprived of the right of inheritance.

When Robert heard that the patriarch was killed, he was always worried, fearing that he would be implicated. When he saw the Targaryen army coming, it was like seeing his relatives, and he shed excited tears!

He took the initiative to lead the army to start the sweep! Under his leadership, the equipment, raw materials, and craftsmen were basically packed up and taken away!

If it weren't for him, Jaehaerys's coinage plan would be delayed at least... for more than ten days!

Jaehaerys would certainly not treat his meritorious officials unfairly, and immediately asked Queen Leila to make him an earl!

The fiefdom was in the Grafson territory of Gulltown. Of course, Gulltown was still in the enemy-controlled area, but it didn't matter, the title was occupied first.

Robert brought a few newly minted gold dragons and presented treasures to Jaehaerys.

Jaehaerys picked up one of them and looked at it carefully. A gold dragon has a diameter of 2 inches (5.08 cm) and a thickness of 0.55 cm, which is slightly larger than a certain brand of gold coin chocolate on Blue Star.

It feels heavy in the hand. Gold dragons are 5 troy ounces and weigh 155.52 grams. This size is neither too big nor too small.

The surface of the gold coin has clear lines and sharp edges. There is no wear at a glance. Jaehaerys thought about it and asked Robert to put the newly minted gold coin in the sand bucket and roll it, so that there will be natural wear between the sand and the gold coin, and between the gold coins.

It doesn't look like it was newly minted. It's not that he wants to be short of weight, but in fact it's just to make it look old.

The news that Dragonstone can cast gold dragons will be known as soon as possible, especially his trading opponents. Those pirates are not good people, and they have ships!

"50,000 gold dragons are still too slow!" Jaehaerys sighed. The current situation is that the mint is waiting for the rice to cook. Without the gold of the pirates, there is no way to cast more gold dragons, and without more gold dragons, there is no way to purchase more gold.

The snowball can only produce a jaw-dropping scale when it rolls to a certain extent.

Jaehaerys has no time to wait for the scale to grow slowly. After all, once Robert reacts, the efficiency of the entire kingdom's actions is not comparable to his mint!

"Your Majesty, there are still many gold dragons on Tide Head Island and Crab Island!" Robert is now the number one leg pendant of the Targaryen family. He knows that as long as Dragonstone can hold on, he will be safer.

So he actively made suggestions and suggestions, which really woke up the dreamer!

"Hey! You are a genius!" Jaehaerys suddenly realized that he was also trapped in a misconception of thinking.

In the previous life, people who didn't even buy a house spent money within their means and had no concept of debt. However, for the nobles in this world, debt was as common as buying a house with a mortgage in the previous life.

Many lords' families didn't have surplus food, which gave rise to many loan families and loan sharks. In fact, these two types of people were often the same type of people. The richest forces in the Seven Kingdoms, such as Lannister, Tyrell, and the Church, were also the largest loan sharks.

Nine out and thirteen back was commonplace. If the loan was for one year, the interest after one year would have reached five times the principal.

Of course, the interest for temporary loans between most lords was not that high. Generally speaking, the monthly interest was one-tenth of the principal.

"Invite Lord Velaryon and Lord Celtigar for me immediately!" Jaehaerys ordered his servants. He wanted to borrow... Bah, give them a chance to make a fortune!

The three islands of Dragonstone were very close to each other, with Crab Island being a little further away. As for Tidehead Island, the ship had already arrived before the sails were inflated!

Soon, the two earls arrived at the Stone Drum Tower, which is the main fortress of Dragonstone. Whenever a storm comes, the ancient walls will rumble and echo, as if a giant struck a stone drum, hence the name.

Jaehaerys came straight to the point and said he wanted to borrow money.

How much?

At least 500,000 gold dragons! But the interest cannot be too high!

The two were not good at fighting, but they were good at doing business. For such a large loan, even if the interest rate was reduced a little, it was tolerable.

The three had a friendly discussion on the interest issue, and finally decided on a term of one month and an interest rate of 5% of the principal.

Everyone was happy!

Merchants are most efficient when it is profitable!

That night, the two each came to Dragonstone with 250,000 gold dragons.

"Tell our pirate friends to prepare more gold. This time our trading scale has increased!" Jaehaerys told Sir Tretimon after the two left.

"Your Highness, this behavior is too risky. Pirates are a group of people who don't keep their promises. It's hard to guarantee that they won't..." Cui Dimon said worriedly.

"Don't worry, sir, I will go out in person this time and bring all the spring thunders. If they know what's good for them, it will be good for you, me and everyone else. If they really have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, I will let them taste the taste of being plundered!" Jaehaerys is not a little white rabbit, he is a young dragon, and he is quickly adapting to flying!

These days, with the blessing of sufficient raw materials, he spent more than half a year, and finally with the help of "Xiao Xiao" of Duobao Xiangen, he successfully improved the magic circle recently. Through the self-operation of the magic circle version 2.0, he finally realized the mass production of spring thunder.

Now as long as the raw materials are sufficient, more than 100 cans can be produced a day! The efficiency has increased by 30 times! At present, more than 1,000 cans of spring thunder alone have been stored!
