The reason why Ryan returns to Meereen in such a hurry is that the investment conference is about to begin. After all, after these four city-states no longer have slaves for sale, the existence of the city-states has become a problem. The Dragon Mother in the TV series abolished the slave trade but did not find a substitute.
, which triggered a large-scale rebellion. And Lane is now eager to recommend new products as alternatives to slave exports.
Fortunately, with the support of industry and extraordinary power, new products were quickly produced. When Ryan returned to Meereen, he could see countless freed slaves working hard in the former slave manor that had been turned into a collective farm.
, planting all kinds of magical plants from the world of Plants vs. Zombies.
In Meereen's city hall, the officials' reports also showed a prosperous scene. The freed slaves found new jobs, and the magical plants brought enough food, vegetables and textile raw materials for everyone.
Under this situation, the city-state showed a prosperous scene. However, these officials also told Lane that most of the warehouses had been filled with newly produced goods, and they were urgently needed to be sold.
The most popular product now produced in the areas controlled by Llane is coinage, with the help of various metal-absorbing plants. Llane obtained enough gold and copper in the copper mines near Meereen, and also found in the mountains to the east.
Silver is extracted from many silver mines.
So Ryan established a mint in Meereen, using steam engines to drive mechanical stamping machines to produce currency. This kind of industrially produced currency has a stable precious metal content, and each currency is the same size, regular in shape, and clear in texture. It is better than those with hand-made molds.
The beaten currency was much better, and it was loved by merchants as soon as it was launched.
After the currency was created, he built a bank for currency exchange and financial services. Every day you can see countless people going to the bank to exchange their currency for new machine-made currency.
In order to avoid causing hostility, Lane also invited people from the Iron Bank to come and participate in the investment. Iron Bank did not mind Lane setting up a bank as long as it made money. Taking advantage of this opportunity, local mechanical coinage also began to become popular in the world.
Of course, this is just because he is not strong enough now. It will be difficult to say how he will do business when he becomes strong in the future.
However, except for gold coins, which everyone loves, other product recommendations need some publicity. So on the second morning after returning to Meereen, he woke up Rose Crystal and went to work in the temple. After washing, Ryan rode a broom and flew to the highest place.
Prepare for the midday product fair and lunch banquet on the pyramid.
The reason why Ryan doesn't like living in this pyramid is entirely because he really doesn't like this house without elevators, water, or electricity. Besides, as a person from modern society, living at high places does not bring him any benefits.
Any pleasant feeling. So after occupying the city, these great pyramids were used as exhibition halls and hotels for foreign investment.
After arranging the exhibits, the summoned businessmen climbed up the Great Pyramid one after another out of breath. Ryan expressed his sincere admiration for these businessmen who climbed the stairs with their feet to reach the height of the more than 50-story office building. But
It seems that they are not dissatisfied because of this, and many businessmen are even very grateful to Ryan for inviting them to come to this magnificent building for a meeting.
When they came up, they had already seen the products that Lane wanted to display on the lower floors, and now they came up hoping to obtain the right to sell these products.
In order to avoid competition, the products launched by Lane are all things that are not available in other regions. For example, soaps, matches, copperware, mirrors, refined salt, various spices, canned seafood and various exquisite products produced by the four city-states in the east of Slaver Bay
Jewelry, etc. At the same time, there are also candles, lamp oil, mechanical clocks, lighters, porcelain, various civilian iron products, spirits and sugar produced in the Lazar region transported along the Skazhadan River.
The only regret is that due to the high demand for livestock products in the two worlds, the livestock products that were originally special to the Lhasa region are now simply not enough to export.
These dazzling goods immediately conquered the merchants who came here to purchase slaves. Under the temptation of money, they did not mind what was in their ships. Before, they complained about stopping the slave trade. But now,
Each of them praised Lane's cause of slave emancipation.
Soon these merchants began to subscribe for shares of goods under the auspices of Ryan. Naturally, many merchants did not have enough money. At this time, people from the Meereen Bank came forward to grant loans to them.
Although Ryan felt that the monthly interest of 10% was too black, which was equivalent to an annual interest rate of 120%. But all the businessmen were happy to borrow money from Ryan. After listening to their discussions, I realized that these businessmen usually did not have enough money.
You are eligible to borrow money from the Iron Bank, while other people's high-rate loans are more expensive.
After all the business was discussed, the luncheon began. Under the premise that cooking methods from several worlds were introduced and a large number of spices were available, the food on the table was so delicious that the businessmen almost swallowed their tongues.
There was an episode during the banquet. Before everyone had eaten the rose crystal for a few minutes, they skipped work from the temple and showed up at the banquet. After grabbing Ryan's hair and complaining that she was not called during the meal, the man sitting next to Ryan
They started to enjoy the lunch together at the table. Soon, they saw the plates on the table flying towards the rose crystal. After a delicious meal, she grabbed Ryan's napkin, wiped her hands and left happily humming a song.
After waiting for the Rose Crystal to leave for a while, the merchants who had been suppressed by the divine power and fell to the ground got up with pale faces and trembling. Before, they had just heard that the Lazarin people had a new god and launched a revenge war to annex it.
Four slave city-states were established, but they never expected that gods would actually appear.
Now most businessmen are full of confidence in their business. With the blessing of the gods, the Lazarin people will definitely be able to rule this land for a long time. What businessmen like most is a stable society. But a few guys who refuse to pay back the money are determined
They gave up the idea. After all, they saw the close relationship between the new king of the Lazarin people and the gods. In this case, the gods coming to collect debts would be much more terrifying than the faceless men coming to collect debts.
On the day after the trade fair ended, those officials reported good news to Lane, that is, the flow of goods that had been stagnant for several months due to the war had finally resumed, and it was expected that more merchant ships would come here in the next quarter.
At the same time, under the shock of the rose crystal, these businessmen are willing to lead local caravans to other cities. On the one hand, they can set up business warehouses in other cities to facilitate product sales, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to collecting more extraordinary information. At least in
After capturing these slave city-states, Ryan obtained a lot of information about blood magic and shadow magic.
After dealing with government affairs for a few days, the time came to September in the year 297 of the Dragon Calendar. At this time, autumn was high and the horses were fertile. It was also the time when the Dothraki began to go south to rob every year. According to tradition, they would definitely have large groups of people coming.
Looting in the Raza Wilderness. Lion planned to return and take advantage of the concentration of Dothraki to kill several large armies.
After giving instructions to the administrative officer and the garrison commander, Ryan put the rose crystal on his shoulder and boarded the steamer returning to the Lazar area under the auspices of a group of people.
