Chapter 2:

After Lord Stark left, I started to go over our books, and boy, I didn't understand shit with this coin system.

But after a thorough comparison with my old coin, aka the dollar, and the prices I remembered, on the top of my head, I had some understanding of how this coin worked.

The coins this world has are.

Copper Coins

Halfpenny (Lowest possible denomination)

Penny equals 2 Halfpennies. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Half Groat, equals 2 pennies.

Groat, equals 4 pennies.

Star, equals 2 Groats or 8 pennies.

Silver Coins

Stag, equals 7 stars or 56 pennies.

Moon, equals 49 stars or 392 pennies.

Gold Coins

Dragons, equals 30 Moons, 210 Stags or 11,760 pennies.

Now after finding the prices of stuff like bread and water.

For example, a piece of bread being one penny, and water being half a penny.

I came to the conclusion one penny was equal to one dollar.

Which in turn, meant one gold dragon was equal to 11.760 dollars.

This accurate conclusion only made me sadder, because all I had... all our house had was 19 silver stags.

My dear old dad took all that was left with him to Essos, leaving us worse than ever.

In the records it shows we once had over 9867 gold dragons, we lost it all, he spend technically over 100 million dollars on that bitch.

Leaving me with one thousand and fifty-six dollars equivalent.

"I have many ideas, but how the fuck can I apply them with so little money," I sighed, as I sat on my office, this was going to be harder than I thought.

Perhaps I could get a loan from House Stark, but that was risky at much, father already betrayed them and made a crack in our relationship whether we like it or not.

The Iron Bank would never give us shit; they only give to big houses or the crown.

But I had to think fast, not only my house was broke but we were in debt, with over ten thousand gold dragons.

"My lord, Lady Maege, wants to see you," A servant said bowing.

"Send her in," I ordered him.

The servant did as he was told, bringing my aunt to the room.

"How bad is it, my lord?" Maege smiled sadly.

"Bad, we are dirt poor thanks to that man," I admitted.

"Aye," Maege nodded.

"How is little, Lyanna?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"She is good, strong as her mother," Maege smiled proudly, "She wants to see you when you can of course,"

"I will try... the gods know I have my work cut out for me..." I chuckled.

"So, any ideas on how to fix our situation?" Maege inquired, taking a seat across my desk.

"Many, but I need money for all of them, I need at least one thousand gold dragons with that I would fix our economic problems permanently," I informed.

"Maybe we can get a loan with Lord Stark?" Maege offered.

Fishing.

You see, being able to control animals came quite handy in this situation.

With the help of my twelve Krakens, I had become the number one fish distributor in the north and maybe the seven kingdoms.

Nobody knew I was using Krakens; they just thought I discovered a new and improved fishing route.

The workers had no idea twelve massive monsters were helping them to catch massive amounts of fish.

With the fish production alone, House Mormont was making around fifty thousand gold dragons a year, or four thousand gold dragons a month.

With this, I had paid the debts that man had left and paid the Starks what they loaned us.

I wasn't the wealthiest house in the north yet, but I was self-sufficient now, which was awesome.

[1 YEAR LATER] [YEAR 295 AC]

The alcohol was a boom, a massive boom, making around one hundred and fifty thousand gold dragons a year.

This was just the first year, the first months were slow, but after they tried my product people went crazy, am I glad this world is run by alcoholics.

It was so good I had to commission two other factories.

The Starks had if my sources were correct around five hundred thousand gold dragons in their treasury, which meant I was about in a year or two to surpass economically speaking the biggest house in the North.

But this sudden success brought some unwanted attention, the Lannister's, Twin had an eye on me now.

So far, I have discovered over five spies inside my house, that sadly found themselves in terrible, terrible accidents, the keyword being accident.

The other part of the unwanted attention was the massive wave of proposals; everyone wanted to marry their daughter with me.

At least within the small houses.

But I didn't have time for that, not yet anyway.

[1 YEAR LATER] [YEAR 296AC]

I was thirteen and boy puberty hit me hard, I was starting to get taller, and muscles were starting to show more.

By this point, I was officially the wealthiest house in the North.

Making around three hundred thousand a year.

My house had saved so far, half a million gold dragons.

Now I had to fix another problem, our military power.

We have around two hundred soldiers, that's all our power.

We need more than that, so with the help of Maege, I started to recruit people.

From orphans to anyone that wanted to learn how to use a sword.

I put Maege in charge of that, while I expanded our forces differently.

A year ago, I started to collect Bears; I had over one hundred bears under my command.

People just assumed it was because I had a deep connection with our sigil.

Little did they know I could control animals in general.

But it wasn't mind control; it was more the animals loved me, like a lot.

But having bears to fight wasn't enough, I commission a set of armor and steel claws for each and every single one of them.

I would have a small battalion of armored bears!

And in the sea, I would have the Krakens to stop the ironborn.

I was preparing beforehand to win the upcoming war.
