The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

"My lord, the accounts are clear." Green's voice was hoarse, but enough for anyone to hear him clearly. His pronunciation is also unmixed, and the knife on the vocal cord is appropriate.

Petir nodded: "Well, you all go out first. Green and I will stay alone for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

Rose reluctantly stood up, Amanda, Amy, and April left, looking at Kid Green intentionally or unintentionally, with vague contempt in their eyes more than respect.

This kid, whose appearance is not good, has never heard of it before. He suddenly came in and took over the power in place of the boss. Rose, Amanda, Amy and April read the same hatred and hatred. Without a declaration, they tacitly decided to unite. Together, finally drove off the Green kid.

"Rose, close the door."

"Yes, my lord."

Four women walked out of the boss's room. Rose reached out to the door. The four women stood and didn't speak, but their eyes explained everything.

In the room, Green walked to the door lightly, inserted the latch lightly, and locked it. Then he came back, pushed aside the financial table, and lifted the carpet. Underneath was an iron plate with a circular pull ring. Green squatted down and reached into the pull ring to lift it. The iron plate was uncovered, revealing a west-facing staircase. .

"The treasury is below, Master Petil."

"You go ahead."

"Yes, my lord."

Green cat went down, holding a candle in his hand, and lit the torches on both sides of the passage as soon as he entered: "My lord, you can come down."

When Petir went down, there was a fairly spacious passage in front of him, and it was high enough. Not far ahead, it was a room full of iron boxes. There were dozens of iron boxes in sight.

Green didn't wait for the boss to tell him to open a box, another box, and another box, which was full of gold coins. It was the most beautiful music in the world.

Under the light of the torch, the refraction and reflection of the gold coins are directly shooting the torch's brilliance, beautifully.

"How many gold coins are there?" Petir asked.

Green was a little disappointed, he didn't see Petir's excitement, nor did he hear the excitement in his tone. He originally had a plan. People died for money and birds died for food. He wanted to divorce the relationship between Lord Petil and Lord Will, but now he had to cancel it. If Master Petil would be green when he saw so many gold coins, everything would be easy, but unfortunately...

"More than three million gold coins, sir, enough for us to buy a few warships, plus ten thousand mercenaries, and invite the most powerful killers to kill our enemies."

"Unexpectedly, I made so much money after only three years as Minister of Finance," Pettier said.

"My lord, the income of brothels is limited and the expenditure is huge, but the national finance is not a small amount. Just a little bit of it will be enough for a poor boy like Green to eat for a lifetime."

"Oh, this is indeed a way to make money."

"My lord, as Green knows, customs, taxation, ports and piers, local tax officials, trade ministers, silk officials, and liquor sellers are all cronies appointed by the adults, and the financial officers promoted by the adults are all civilians and small lords. Little knights, there are no heirs of powerful and powerful people. These people have no hope of promotion, their status is low, and they are favored by adults. They are loyal to them. If the adults should make a mistake, the country’s finances will be in chaos..."

"Haha, Green, you think too much."

"My lord, the entire empire, who can put two gold coins together and grind them together and give birth to a third gold coin. This person is you, sir.-This is also the court minister in the throne hall, the king's prime minister, and court officials. The consensus is also the fundamental reason why Prime Minister Jon Aylin promoted the Lord to become the Minister of Finance."

"My lord, the former Minister of Finance only did one thing: collect taxes! My lord, you did two things: 1 collect taxes, 2 use tax money to lend usury, monopolize the silk business across the narrow sea, and sell silk Sell ​​it to the Seven Kingdoms; then monopolize the wine on Qingting Island and sell it to the free trade city-state on the other side of the narrow sea. This is the origin of the theory that the third gold coin was born, my lord."

"Nevertheless, the state finances are still heavily indebted." Pettier sighed.

"My lord, the king spends money if he wants to spend it. Who dares to say nothing? If it changes to another finance minister..."

Petir waved his hand: "Green!"

"Yes, my lord." Green hurriedly bowed his head obediently.

"Take a box of gold coins out and use it tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

"Find a reliable big ship, preferably a merchant ship on the opposite side of the narrow sea. It should be big and able to withstand storms. The captain should have good skills and park the ship at the port. You have to make sure that customs, taxation, and patrol warships will not board the ship for inspection. , Who should I look for and how much it will cost? I don’t need to tell you this."

"Yes, sir, I know. Customs and taxes are your confidant. As for patrol warships, don’t worry, sir. I know the threshold here. Trivial matters are here."

"Do you remember the secret passage out of this basement."

Green felt a little in his heart: "Remember, my lord."

"The secret road leads outside the city?"

Green was even more surprised and had to say, "Yes, my lord."

Petir said: "There is no secret passage in such a basement. Once something happens, these gold coins can't be taken out of the ground. Green, do you remember whether there are one secret passage or two?"

"Two secret paths, my lord." Green said all the truth. To be honest, there is no need to lie to round. Now it is necessary to gain the trust of Petir's boss.

Petir nodded: "Green, your loyalty will be rewarded. Your business talent and strategy will also have a place and space to display. If you can remain loyal, I will soon be able to make you a knight, and then Recommending you to the Prime Minister to become a courtier, step by step, it is possible to become an imperial minister."

"Thank you for your love! The adults have big ambitions, and Green must do his best to help them become famous. However, Prime Minister Ed is not an easy to tolerate person."

"He will change." Pettier said lightly.

Green was shocked and unbelievable. He bowed his head hurriedly and concealed his gaffe. Will and the gang will also take action on Ed Stark, which is crazy. This man in black wants to stir the situation in King's Landing? He has no foundation, but he does things that no one dares to do, and he is bold enough to change for no one. No one can imagine or believe it.

"Now take me to see those two secret paths."

"Yes, my lord."

High-end brothels all have underground secret passages. Some dignitaries, courtiers, lords, knights, and wealthy businessmen did not want to be seen entering and leaving the brothel. The most high-end Sataya brothel has a secret road leading directly to the bedroom on the first floor of a former prime minister’s villa in the old town.

As for the Red Fort, the power center of King's Landing, the underground secret road is as dense as a spider web.
