Chapitre 45: Honest Advice and Business
Tycho: Lord Trant the iron bank wants to extend the commercial security contract with his fleet for another 5 years, in the years that we dealt with his Captain no ship was looted by pirates and that increased the commercial flow, we have the approval of the leaders of the bank and the lord of the sea Ferrego Antaryon, ask him to increase the trade of his finest liquors and medicines, along with his exotic fruits and products such as Chocolate, cocoa powder, cosmetics and perfumes for ladies and Sweets.
Adrián: Take it for granted, the same insurance and export quota as always, we will also add experimental liquors so that you can try them, if they are to your liking, we will export them.
Tycho: A pleasure, In other matters the Iron Bank has to inform you that their first vault is already full, we will have to open a second one, besides the commercial contracts under our signature will be renewed for a cost of 2% of the negotiations if the contract is breached by one of them.
Adrián: I agree, I will let the Iron bank be my Debt collector, some lords of the free cities refused to pay what was owed.
Tycho with a smile: The bank will take care of them, that's what our contracts are for.
Adrián: Excellent, some other matter for us to deal with, my friend.
Tycho: If the sea lord sends you a report, someone tried to rehire the Faceless Men to assassinate you and your family.
When Tycho commented on this Stannis and Jon Arryn were shocked, they knew their reputation was fearsome, and someone sent them to assassinate them.
Adrián laughing: Mmm again the first time it was Mace Tyrell the fat man paid 500,000 Gold Dragons for my death, what price did they offer this time?
Tycho: From what we've been told you're on the gift list, you can't be killed or your family, after discovering the first killer, but that doesn't include the Sorrowful Men, you have to be careful we don't want to lose an excellent business partner.
Adrián: Thank you, my friend, by the way, my request to own rights in the iron bank was approved.
Tycho shook his head but said: It is being evaluated and has 8 votes in favor, my lord, two more votes and you will have the opportunity to buy the shares of the iron bank, between us the two families that oppose are already in ruins and they know their actions will be the ones bought or taken
Adrián: Thanks Tycho, if you want you can walk around Seaworth town we are selling some unique navigation products, if you are interested we can negotiate the prices.
Tycho smiled and said: A pleasure Lord Trant, we are interested in all your products, the man took the copies of the signed papers and took them to him.
Adrián: Excuse me, those were negotiations that had to be done.
Jon: Don't worry Adrian we understand, but you'll be safe the faceless men and the Sorrowful Men guild have a reputation.
Adrián: Don't worry Lord Arryn after stopping the first murder of the Faceless Man, they proceeded to not accept any price on my head or my family.
As for the Sorrowful Men, I have a little Hatred for Qarth, their guilds and warlocks are extremely annoying, some time ago we killed several warlocks who came to make blood sacrifices and murderers of the Spice Guild because we occupied their commercial place and they prefer to buy from us. us than to them and their on prices and quality
Well let's get serious, they're here to take the lordship of the island from me right, the boy was showing an amused smile
Jon and Stannis shook their heads, with Jon speaking: No, we're here to see if we can mend the relations between Houses Trant and Baratheon, I know we couldn't do justice to your men, after all, you've done for him. town and crown
Adrián sighed: There is nothing to mend, gentlemen, there are no broken relationships, I say lightly.
Jon: You know it isn't, your honor was damaged by what Robert said.
Adrián: The truth, Lord Arryn, I care little if my honor is lost or tarnished, a person only seeks justice and it was shown that there is none in King's Landing because the Golden cloaks could be judged for dishonoring their vows and they would have been right.
Jon was surprised he never thought about that, the book Adrián gave him said Complaints Ignored by the Gold Layers: You're right, if we can, we will judge the Gold Layers.
Adrián: Don't worry, there is nothing to judge, the men are already dead and their families broken, there is nothing that can be mended, the funny thing would be who urged the supreme sept to attack my men.
Stannis: We don't know why they were attacked. The sept claims that your men were preaching blasphemies and poisoning the people, but the people claim something else.
Adrian: I hope King's Landing is prepared for what lies ahead, I answered lightly.
Stannis gave me a cold look: What does that mean boy. he said worried
I sit back in my chair and grab my cup of tea, take a little and say.
Adrián: The food that I delivered was free, which allowed King's Landing not to have to spend part of its money on crops, the men were healthier and could cultivate fish, and do other activities for their livelihood, what would happen once the food was no longer arrives, health fails and people cannot farm, fish or hunt
Stannis started to think and Jon said: It can't be, how did we miss that? She gently clutched her head and drank some tea to calm herself down.
Stannis then also realized: We will have to spend money from the coffers so that the town does not go hungry, once the town is in a critical situation it will blow up and destroy the entire city.
Adrián: Exactly and that's not all, if things continue like this with Robert and King's Landing does not improve commercially, that debt will be more unpayable, I don't understand how they continued to consume when I paid 1/3 of the original debt.
They have a very important flight of capital in the city. Who would win with This only two or three houses the first Tyrell, the second Lannister, and the third Tully, but those are extremely unlikely since they have neither the ability nor the ingenuity.
Jon Arryn had another cup of tea to calm down. He had never thought of so many possibilities. The boy had been holding a load that would crush any man who held it and he stood up, but now the load fell into his arms and he wasn't sure. to be able to keep her like the boy in front of him.
Stannis gripped the table and asked: How can we get to solve the crisis that is coming?
Adrián slightly raised the rate of tea and replied: They cannot, excessive consumerism and mismanagement led them to a downward spiral, they do not have the capital to start businesses that bring gold to the crown, rather they do not have the capacity
In addition to the fact that their greatest ally that is the north is oppressed by the Reach, Tully, and Lannister in food prices they sell them at an overprice and keep the north as poor as possible and they do not need Ned Stark they would need an army of Cregan Stark and about 20 Wolf Hours to fix it
Unless Tywin shits gold as they say and they put him to shit like never before, it is unsolvable in the short term, But a council cleans the king's landing of corruption and Robert's excesses, if the man continues like this Tycho calculates that they could reach about 20 Millions of debts if he reigns another 20 years, count that disembarkation does not produce anything they have a large population, but not a single profitable business besides the brothels
The crown will always be disputed in three ways and now the first four, the Tyrell can demand a marriage to put their queen, the Lannisters will clamor for power behind Robert, and The Iron Bank will demand that the 7 kingdoms be ruled by a monarch who pays, except my island.
Finally, the Faith will be able to choose another Baelor I Targaryen, some things about him were good but frankly he was a religious fanatic, although I admit that I took some of his ideas when I was young and improved them, I prohibited prostitution, but I taught them trades, such as taking care of the fields, how to work fabrics and wool to make clothes.
But believe me, as is the faith of today, they will plunder the crown even more deeply, a man who is blinded by faith, it is a bad idea, loses all rational capacity and only his fanaticism remains
