A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

On one side, Aiqi is in full swing of modernization, and on the other side, Westeros has been turned upside down.

These days, under Baelish's misleading, Kate mistook Tyrion for the murderer who hurt Bran, and arrested Tyrion who happened to meet on the way back from King's Landing.

Ned Stark is stabbed by the queen's brother, and Jaime, who stabbed him, escapes.

Ned's investigation is getting closer and closer to the truth, and Cersei is getting more and more worried.

According to the plan, Ai Qi does not plan to get involved in the near future, and concentrates on development.

It is now November of 298, which means that King Robert is not far from death, and then the drama of Westeros will begin.

The red comet will appear in 299, when Eki's dragon can hatch.

Unlike in the original book where Daenerys passed through Qarth long after the dragon had hatched, and then went to buy the Unsullied, Archie planned to go directly to buy the Unsullied.

To make a digression, there is still a big gap between the plot of the TV series and the plot of the original book, and the plot of Daenerys in Qarth is very different.

According to Ai Qi's attention during this period of time, the world is generally carried out according to the setting of the TV series, and a few places that are not involved in the TV series are carried out according to the original book.

Archie now has gold and has opened the mint.

One of the most lucrative businesses in the world is coinage.

Ai Qi did not introduce paper money. Although the paper money will bring more benefits to Ai Qi, the economic and political level has not reached the standard for Ai Qi's paper money to be recognized by all forces, and it will be counterproductive to promote it hastily.

Ai Qi imported a large number of stamping machines from the blood clan world and transformed them into coin minting machines.

Currencies in the Middle Ages were all made by hand, so when watching TV dramas, you can find that most of the coins are not round enough, and the clarity of the printed patterns is not the same. This is an inevitable phenomenon in the manual era.

Switching to mechanical stamping is different. Each coin has the same size, regular shape, and clear lines. Therefore, Aiqi became a good coin as soon as it was issued and was very popular in the market.

This is the advantage of issuing gold and silver coins, because the value of the currency itself does not require Ai Qi to use his credibility as a guarantee. After the reunification, Ai Qi plans to promote paper money.

The pattern on the gold coins issued by Eich is Eich's own family crest.

Every nobleman in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire has his own family emblem, and the peripheral products of these family emblems sold well in Ai Qi's previous life.

In this life, Ai Qi wanted to save trouble, and coupled with his identity as a dragon, he directly used the game icon of The Elder Scrolls 5 as his family emblem, that is, a dragon with wings spread.

After being engaged to Daenerys, Ai Qi modified the family emblem and increased the dragon head to three heads, that is, three-headed dragons, because Targaryen's family emblem is a three-headed dragon. This change made Daenerys very sad. move.

In the previous life, there was a war of roses in the York dynasty of England, and finally the Tudor dynasty was established. After marrying Elizabeth, the family emblems of the two families were white roses and red roses. A sense of identity between the two forces.

The same is true for Ai Qi's change of the family emblem here, which means the merger of the two families (although Daenerys' brother is still there, and the Targaryen family is still there, but he, who is helpless, is gorgeously ignored).

Ai Qi sent people to contact the slave owners of Astapor, and at the same time sent people to contact all the major forces in all nine free trade city-states, preparing to hold a business promotion conference in Fort Pioneer.

Aiqi's current plan for the layout of Essos is mainly concentrated in the two places of Free Trade City and Slave Bay.

The operation of Slaver's Bay has not yet started, and Aiqi does not intend to conquer by force on the side of the trading city.

The lifeblood of these trading cities is traders. After Ai Qi masters a large number of commodities from the modern plane, even the original Pirates of the Caribbean world will become a dumped plane.

Not to mention several trading cities?

When Ai Qi grasps the economic lifeline of all cities, then the nine major cities will not bow to their ears?

Aiqi issued a notice inviting all business groups in the nine major trading cities, including special groups such as the Iron Bank of Braavos and the Alchemist of Reese, and even Aiqi even invited the assassination organization Faceless to come. I don't know.

While waiting for the representatives from all parties to come, Ai Qi purchased a large amount of goods in the modern plane, hoarding goods, just waiting for the opening of the investment promotion conference.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the conference to be held. Many faction leaders, including Governor Illyrio, came to the conference in person or sent their spokespersons, while Ai Qi and Pamo presided over the entire conference.

Relying on Pamo's trade network in the blood clan world, he collected a large amount of in-demand goods in a short period of time, and the production capacity of the modern plane was far beyond comparison in the Middle Ages.

All business groups suddenly discovered that I don't have what others have, I have what I have, and what I have is cheap, and the purchase of all commodities is huge, and I can't compete at all.

Pentos produces a large amount of dairy products and wine, Ai Qi sells a mountain of cheese, and the wine blended in the modern plane is too simple.

Kohor produces steel, Rees produces exquisite brocade, and the blast furnace ironmaking of the modern plane produces more than a thousand tons of steel in a day, and the mechanical weaving can be uninterrupted for 24 hours.

Mill focuses on glass products, and modern glass is completely worthless...

All trading cities have found that the products in front of them are better and cheaper than their own, and there are many products that they cannot produce themselves.

There are only two paths before them.

The first way is not to buy, and then others will buy it at a low price, and then use the low price and higher quality to compete with your original trade, and then you will start to lose money, and all the goods you have moved forward will be in your own hands.

The second way is to collect money to buy all the products, and then sell them at a high price, so as not to allow these products to flow into the market at low prices, and depreciate the value of the products you originally operated.

Most of the merchants chose to buy Ai Qi's products with their own money. If they don't have enough money, they will join other merchants. If they don't have enough money, they will join the money lenders on site.

Ai Qi notified the Iron Bank in advance, and reached an agreement with the Iron Bank. The Iron Bank only recognized the money, and of course was willing to participate if it saw a profit.

Ai Qi didn't want Iron Bank to make all the money, so he set up a bank by himself and also took on the loan business.

The reason why Ai Qi distributes the profits to the Iron Bank is because the wealth accumulated by the Iron Bank for hundreds of years is very high, and Ai Qi does not intend to stand on the opposite side of the Iron Bank in a short time.

If the Iron Bank went all out and invested the money in Ichi's enemies, it would still cause a lot of trouble.

That's why Aiqi distributed the profits to the Iron Bank and maintained a good relationship with Braavos.

But it's not certain what will happen when Ai Qi's power becomes stronger.
