Chapter 170 Financial resources and appeal

The colonists who once wanted to colonize the world were colonized, and Tyrosh was the first to be colonized.

"The Princess of Dragonstone said that in the future, Myr and Lys's merchant shipping taxes will be reduced to a certain extent at the port of Tyrosh! Of course, the same is true for Braavos.

Also, the Targaryen family will also provide some compensation to the merchants of Myr and Lys who were affected in the port and did not participate in the war."

Francis added a few words. In fact, he didn't care about the interests of the merchants in this city-state. He focused on his own interests, so he helped the seven countries to build bridges. His father would not be so easy to talk to.

However, this condition made Mir and the Lysians nod. They needed to safeguard the interests of the merchants in the city-state, and their power was inseparable from the support of the big merchants.

"I think this treaty will be signed today. Don't bother with it anymore!"

The only ones injured were the Tyrosh nobles, who refused to sign and remained silent in protest.

However, the other twenty-two governors raised their hands in agreement, so the Supreme Council decided to sign the "Tylosi Treaty of Equal and Mutual Assistance".

"Okay, let's move on to another matter." Ignoring the expressions of grief and despair on the faces of the Tyroshi people, Governor Myr took the lead in speaking.

"This war is not the failure of one city-state in Tyrosh, but the failure of all of us." Although they support the signing of the treaty, they are forced by the situation. The Seven Kingdoms are still their "unfriendly" and even "hateful" ones.

Neighbor.

"Targaryen used blood and fire to illustrate one thing. Setbacks are temporary, and what ultimately determines the balance of victory is the dragon!"

The lively castle in the disputed land suddenly seemed to press the pause button, and everyone nodded in unison.

"A dragon controlled by a dragon master can ignore the comparison of military strength and form an absolutely crushing weapon!

We were not defeated by the Seven Kingdoms... but by the dragon!"

"The combination of the dragon master and the dragon provides at least four terrifying abilities. The first one is the strategic deterrence ability to defeat the enemy without fighting."

A scholar stood up to supplement the speech of the Governor of Myr. In the Supreme Council, this scholar was responsible for acting as a think tank and helping the Governor to discuss affairs, but he did not have any power or status. His speech was inspired by the people of Myr.

"The second ranked one has the ability to destroy the world and destroy the earth. The flying dragon makes the war three-dimensional and makes any fortified city meaningless.

The third capability provided by the dragon is often overlooked, but if it rises to a strategic level, it is precisely this capability that plays a decisive role in the outcome of the war - rapid deployment and super maneuverability based on flight."

"We in Tyroshi were directly defeated because we failed to prevent the dragon from stealing the city and crossed the pirate defense line!" The Tyroshi people present were deeply touched. The dragon came and went freely and regarded the pirates as nothing.

"The fourth ability is the ability to sense and reconnaissance. After the dragon flies high in the sky, it can have an unobstructed view! This makes it difficult to implement almost any siege and sneak attack tactics. Targaryen is always the one who has free time and is waiting for work! He can find the enemy when he discovers the enemy.

He immediately launched an attack on the enemy as soon as he was sighted, and didn't even dare to think of a sneak attack.

"In the history recorded in the Citadel of Westeros, Torrhen Stark in the North did not dare to accept the proposal of his illegitimate brother Brandon Snow and sent a death squad to assassinate the sleeping dragon in the dark!

And this was actually the only possible way to defeat Aegon the Conqueror in that era..."

After listening to the scholar's words, all the governors frowned, "The six adult dragons of Targaryen and Velaryon are equivalent to a small Valyrian Free Fortress!"

"So terrifying! Dragons really shouldn't appear in this world!" Someone cursed in a low voice, "I heard that the Princess of Dragonstone has two dragons?"

"No, four. There are still two that are underage, but once they grow up, she will be the real master of the Seven Kingdoms. Not to mention...she can also tame other wild dragons on Dragonstone!

The Conqueror and his sisters only have three heads in total." Someone added the information.

Envy, jealousy, hatred! Although the people in the city are rich, no matter how many golden dragons there are, they can't buy a dragon egg or a baby dragon.

"If I could become the son-in-law of the Targaryen family..." Many governors had sweet dreams in their hearts. A son-in-law is for sure. For the Dragon Family, as long as you are not the Dragon King, you are just a servant of the Free Fortress, even if you are a servant of the Free Fortress.

No matter how rich the governor of a city-state is! What's more, now that Tyrosh has been occupied, the Targaryens have taken it away because they can't eat it.

"The dragon knights of the Seven Kingdoms all intermarry with each other. What you think is so beautiful!" Francis exposed their dream.

"But...the royal bloodline also leaks out, and there is one in Myr."

The governors of Myr looked down upon him, saying, "That is an old bustard with no inheritance rights, and he cannot ride a dragon."

"Back to the topic, the dragon is so terrifying, how should we deal with it?"

"That's the point! Either use legal means to become the spouse of the dragon knight.

Or...use illegal means to steal dragon eggs, steal baby dragons, attack giant dragons and capture them.

Only the Valyrian dragons can be tamed, and now only the Targaryens are the remaining dragon kings.

As long as we find a way from them, we will have dragons!" the Lysian said categorically.

"So the question is, where do dragon eggs come from, and how do they hatch?

Alas, the last method is better, just become the spouse of the dragon knight directly, and the problems of dragon eggs and dragons will be solved."

Just as the Supreme Council was thinking about this issue, the Tyroshi suddenly said, "Aren't there three dragon eggs in the warehouse in Braavos? They are still alive and can be hatched!"

"And Dragon Egg's mother is still there - the Queen Mother of the West's mount, Menghuo, is in the dragon's lair in King's Landing."

Suddenly, countless greedy eyes focused on the son of the Sea King. Francis glared at the Tyroshi and shouted: "Those are not for sale! You want dragon eggs? You are dreaming!"

The Supreme Council is still struggling, and the pirates outside the city are still working diligently to attack the city wall.

But Rhaenyra transported the goods one by one to the ship at the burned dock.

Silk, tiger skin, amber, jade carving, saffron, myrrh...

Ivory, white gold and porcelain from the Yi lands, lace from Braavos, dyes, glass from Myr and Lys, carpets...

City-state gold coins, golden brilliant coins, golden dragons, silver deer...

They piled up into hills!

Wealth from all over the world has enriched the families of the eight nobles in the city and shaped their luxurious lives. If gold coins could kill people, Rhaenyra would have died countless times.

In addition, Rhaenyra also found more than a dozen Valyrian steel swords from the homes of nobles, all of which were as precious treasures as clan swords.

"Get rich! Get rich!" His face was almost crooked with a smile.

"You can build many big ships!" Lanner winked at her.

Once, when she said she wanted to build a sea-going ship in King's Landing, she was stopped by Finance Minister Bisbury because the financial pressure was too great.

How big is the specific size? Lannar introduced it to her, "You can build a large ship with 2,000 gold dragons, which is about one-third the size of a trading city-state's merchant ship. You can build a large ship with 30,000 gold dragons. Velaryon is the largest."

The warship, according to outsiders, cost as much as 100,000 gold dragons."

"There are more than 100,000 gold dragons!" Lannar announced the correct answer to her, but Rhaenyra's jaw dropped in shock.

You must know that many vassals are reluctant to part with a golden dragon!

So "Poor" Rhaenyra made up her mind from the beginning to start the robbery directly, and the pirates didn't want to interfere.

"With all this wealth...the royal family's appeal will be greatly strengthened!"
