The Royal Council at the Red Keep.
Tyrion, who is temporarily serving as finance minister, is giving a report to King Robert and a group of nobles from the Seven Kingdoms.
"...As of today, Junlin Arena has made a profit of 23,000 gold dragons. On average, it can provide Junlin with no less than 1,500 gold dragons every day. As the event becomes more grand, our daily tax revenue will more than double!"
King Robert laughed loudly: "What about the others? How is Flea Bottom improving?"
Prime Minister Ed came out and said tiredly: "The environmental sanitation of Flea Bottom has been greatly improved. As of today, we have created 30,000 jobs and benefited at least 150,000 people. The security of King's Landing has also been greatly improved.
Good improvement!”
"Haha, Varys, has your little bird reported any good news about the improvements in King's Landing?"
Varys walked out with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is His Majesty's wise decision that makes the people of King's Landing like our policies."
Robert laughed loudly: "By the way, are there any taxes in Flea Bottom?"
Ed nodded: "Yes, this version of Flea Bottom will earn more than 300 gold dragons every week! As the economic cycle that Zhang and the others mentioned benefits more people, King's Landing's finances will increase several times again."
Robert continued to smile boldly: "Very good! Ed, you are very good as the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms. I am very satisfied."
After Robert finished speaking, many nobles from the seven countries who attended the royal meeting also cheered and applauded.
For example, Renly of Storm's End, Ser Loras Tyrell of the River Bend, the councilors of Dorne, and the Lannister all looked at Eddard kindly.
Although it is bitterly cold in the north, Ed is really a lucky prime minister.
When they were looking at Ed, they were also looking deeply at the people from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who were standing not far away.
If it weren't for these people, Prime Minister Ed would never have made so many changes to King's Landing!
These Eastern Tang talents are the biggest contributors.
In the past few months, these people from the Eastern Tang Dynasty have really used their knowledge to benefit all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
Steel production, food cultivation, planting methods, medical treatment, urban construction, military training, ways to make money...ah, it shouldn't be to increase the overall economy of Westeros!
They have done so much.
Ad Gong also knew what kind of talent he was, so he stood up respectfully and saluted Robert: "Your Majesty, this is all the help of the people of Eastern China."
"I really want to thank the people of the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty!" Robert raised his wine glass and asked Lancel to pour him wine: "So the people of the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty, have you had a smooth book exchange here?"
After saying this, Robert's face turned slightly red!
The nobles of the seven countries showed knowing smiles.
After these Eastern Tang people came to Westeros, in addition to letting them learn about the wild people outside the Great Wall, they also put forward a condition of studying in the Old Town.
They have benefited so much from these people.
Robert had made a lot of money, and he wanted to give them some reward.
Zhang Jin met everyone's gaze and walked out slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the book excerpts went very smoothly. However, there are too many books in Old Town, and it will take us more than a year. I have to say that Weiss
Tello has so much knowledge!”
Robert laughed happily when he heard that these people were not proud of themselves!
The faces of many nobles also showed pride.
Wear it thousands of times, but flatter you and never wear it!
Robert liked the compliments.
He was even more satisfied with these Eastern Tang people.
Their whims allowed Robert to earn a lot of gold dragons, which he could spend freely.
It's time to give them some rights!
The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were also very satisfied with the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Although the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty were powerful, there were too few of them. They could not threaten them.
They repeatedly obtained useful knowledge from these people and used this knowledge to earn countless wealth.
These Eastern Tang people are so selfless.
They fattened all the nobles of Westeros.
It can be said that the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty are the gods of wealth to the nobles of Westeros and all the people, and the messengers of the Seven Gods who save people in distress!
They not only changed the production structure of Westeros, but also greatly improved the living standards of the nobles!
Countless nobles have more opportunities to make money.
For example, for the first time, grain farmers learned that human feces can be made into chemical fertilizers, and these things can actually increase crop yields!
Coastal fishing boats use new fishing nets to catch more sea fish!
The Lannisters in the West received help from the Tang Dynasty, and their gold production increased fivefold...
The people of King's Landing...
Forget it, they got too many benefits.
Robert laughed and accepted the flattery: "The knowledge in Westeros is vast, so what do you want?"
Zhang Jin pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Well... Your Majesty the King, although the construction industry in Junlin is very good, many people in Junlin have obtained employment opportunities. But these employment opportunities are at risk of ending at any time. And this model
You can only earn a small amount of money every year, and you can’t make money for a longer period of time!”
"Oh, how do you construct this statement?"
"Does Your Majesty know the overall tax revenue in King's Landing?"
Robert smiled awkwardly: "I know!"
"For a kingdom to function, in addition to normal agricultural taxation, it also needs more prosperous commerce, and the prosperity of commerce cannot be separated from infrastructure. Let's use competitive games as an example."
Everyone looked at Zhang Jin silently and listened to his words.
Zhang Jin pretended to be upset and waited for a long time before saying: "King's Landing is very big, but King's Landing is very small. The small military order arena has made so much profit, but what about outside of King's Landing?"
Some nobles looked at Zhang Jin expressionlessly.
Because King's Landing's arena model has made money, many nobles from the Seven Kingdoms have secretly recruited people to copy these business models.
They also want to play this on their own one-third of an acre of land.
"King's Landing is the center of power in Westeros. We can definitely use King's Landing as a demonstration site to promote the King's Landing model."
Robert looked a little dissatisfied: "You mean to promote the stadium and construction methods to the Seven Kingdoms?"
Robert is now watching King's Landing make money every day. If the construction of King's Landing is promoted, it will reduce the business prosperity of King's Landing.
He didn't want to lose the big money bag of King's Landing.
Zhang Jin smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, how big is Junlin?"
“Within a radius of 100 kilometers, the permanent population plus floating population is as high as 1.2 million!”
"So how big are the Seven Kingdoms?"
"Uh..." Robert was stunned.
Seeing the king like this, Tyrion loudly replied: "Westeros is endless!"
Zhang Jin nodded: "Yes, Westeros is boundless. Think of Westeros as a big cake. King's Landing is a very small cake. If you want to eat more cake, we have to get everyone moving! We
It’s absolutely possible to join the company and expand this model to Westeros.”
Tyrion said: "Making the King's Landing model bigger? This requires massive funds and technical talents."
"Yes, whoever builds it, how will the income be calculated?"
"Our taxes can't afford to build a stadium like King's Landing."
Many nobles held their own opinions and spoke one after another.
Let me complain, the taxes of Westeros are ultimately handed over to the lords of each family, and will not be handed over to the king. The king's royal domain is separate from the other six duke's fief taxes.
Zhang Jin said with a smile: "Building a city does require investment, but only by investing can we get returns."
"Let's take the competition as the criterion! Take King's Landing as an example. You can completely establish a cumulative prize pool. We can hold competitions from one to three levels, and hold a large-scale event every six months. Start strengthening the competition from weak to strong! In this way,
The competitive competition will never stop, we can earn enough operating funds, and then invest in building more projects and earn more funds."
Robert rubbed his beard unconsciously when he heard about making money.
Zhang Jin continued to add matches: "Promoting the competition to the entire King's Landing will not only reflect the highest standards of King's Landing events, but also benefit more common people and nobles, allowing more common people to get job opportunities. We only need to establish a unified
The management committee manages everyone and allows everyone to participate and earn gold dragons.”
Robert's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that the construction committee was earning gold dragons: "Okay, this is good. I agree with your proposal. All the nobles in Westeros must participate in the implementation of split cooperation. What do you mean?
?"
"There's no point in waiting!"
It makes no sense, everyone has made a lot of money relying on this model, so who can mess around?
What everyone is most concerned about now is the number of shares.
"Your Majesty the King, unified management of workers is very hard and cumbersome. We need to formulate stricter rules and regulations, train more workers, and let these people learn construction and counting methods. When running sports events, we can also increase more taxes.
!”
Robert smiled and nodded: "Marching and fighting also require human wisdom. This is indeed true. Who is responsible for this teaching job?"
Ed was the first to stand up: "I recommend Zhang Jin. His management experience is very practical and his management model is also very advanced. Their participation will definitely make the work smoother!"
In the past few months, Zhang Jin and others have organized sports events and construction work in an orderly manner.
The fact that more than 100,000 people now have jobs and benefits is the best proof.
Westeros has had so many years of history, but everyone's way of life remains the same.
The things that nobles can make money from are either food, clothes, or at most daily necessities!
Of course, there is also the old women's branch and casino.
Nowadays, there are more ways of working, allowing more people to make money, and Ed is naturally willing.
Through long-term observation, Ed has confirmed that these Eastern Tang people have no intention of causing rebellion.
He was ready to put more burdens on these people.
He is so eager to assign rights, naturally because he is too busy!
The decadent medieval prime minister system is incapable of handling the vast task.
Can you imagine a peasant suing the Council of Ministers over a trivial matter and then making a ruling?
This is the administrative system of the world of ice and fire.
The Prime Minister is very bitter!
They have not established an efficient operating mechanism at all. Everything must be judged by the nobles.
This makes it impossible for the Prime Minister to withdraw from tedious matters.
The Prime Minister stepped forward to divide his power, and other nobles also recommended Zhang Jin to take up the teaching job.
These people from the Eastern Tang Dynasty are very wise. They only want a small amount of money and knowledge of Westeros, and they don't covet other things.
What these people are best at doing is practicing.
Folk legends often say that they are messengers who come to solve life's difficulties.
After some voting, a new department was established!
An institution that could influence Westeros was established.
Although this institution was supervised by the king, prime minister and nobles, its successful establishment marked the beginning of a new era.
The wheels of time are officially rolling!
The nobles and kings lying on the road greedily sucking money are about to taste the most painful punishment in the world.
When things have reached this point, Zhang Jin's plan has been basically completed.
He stood up again and asked: "Your Majesty, we will definitely train them into qualified workers. By the way, can we propose a name? We want to leave a name in Westeros."
"Can!"
"I hope to get the name [Workers and Peasants Supervisory Committee]. Well, I can also call it [Trade Union] in the future."
Robert drank a glass of wine and laughed and said: "Oh~ What a convoluted name, but since it was you who proposed it, I agree for the time being!"
Zhang Jin quickly smiled and expressed his gratitude.
He secretly praised Robert for giving him another noose!
Robert and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms once again dug a few shovels of earth for his grave.
These guys thought this union would be a tool for them to make wealth.
They couldn't guess what kind of giant beast was released this time.
As long as the union stands firm in Westeros, they will only need some small pushers to overthrow this decadent aristocratic class in the future!
The flame has been generated and is waiting for the right time to burn.
This meeting can be regarded as setting the tone for the development of the trade union.
Work has also begun on how to train people.
However, according to Zhang Jin's statistics, more than 10,000 professional-level talents are needed to make all places in Westeros run.
The nobles were stunned on the spot.
Although the nobles of Westeros learn writing and knowledge, their own tasks are also very heavy.
Patrol the surrounding areas, protect the tranquility of the territory, and hunt down thieves...
In short, these nobles cannot recruit so many people in a short time.
Zhang Jin stood up directly: "We can provide basic training to these workers so that they can master construction work."
The nobles were overjoyed.
They quickly distributed ravens and asked people to send smart civilian princes to come and receive training.
These construction jobs are back-breaking work, so the nobles generously invited some common people close to them to become the first batch of people to receive training.
Some lucky civilians from the Six Nations were pulled over.
King's territory!
A certain noble lady suddenly asked a smart but illiterate commoner to kneel down.
"Napoleon Bonaparte, would you like to become a wealthy knight of the Fit family."
Napoleon was extremely confused.
"Will you be my wealthy knight?"
"Yes, sir, I do!"
Napoleon was naturally willing to get a big pie out of thin air.
"Very well, Napoleon, I will give you a task. You must go to the [Union] and learn their knowledge. This is my gift to you. From now on, you will work for the Fit family..."
After some watering with chicken soup, Napoleon felt that his life was full of hope.
The next day, Napoleon went to King's Landing with dry food to learn new knowledge.
Scenes like this happen in countless places.
