Chapter 225
2021-01-06
Chapter 225 The Power of MoneyWall is thousands of miles away from King's Landing, separated by such a long space Distance, Igor did not dare to control the command at will, and made the old mistakes made by countless management-he decided to trust a smart girl who was oneself. The reply encouraged Nina's work, and made a series of clear requirements, including handling the Wildfire and transporting it to the north as soon as possible, transporting wealthy funds to Queenscrown with monthly supplies, and regularly selecting recruits who have completed training and are willing to go north to report. Afterwards, the rest of the operation and micro-manipulation of the Night's Watch industry in King's Landing can be decided by the discipline brought out by Tyrion.
Igor had more important things to do: he had envisioned a very grand scheme for managing the wildlings that might be put into the Wall. Who would have thought that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, but the mountain clan settled in the land grant first. ... But it doesn't matter, there are people both horizontally and vertically, and this plan can also be used for clans and peoples, even because of their close relationship with each other - the fault tolerance rate is higher. Oneself can slowly explore and master the ability to manage one party from scratch.
He will probably be very busy for a long time to come.
The stakes are very important, and there is no available person to mobilize, so he cannot do everything in person: first, he communicated with the chief craftsman, and made an appointment to guide the craftsman to repair the abandoned fortress; Check out Night's Watch's own material reserves - Igor does have some money, but the money is impossible to turn into food and grass immediately. In the initial stage of the clan people stationing in the Wall, everything has to be supported by the storage in the Night's Watch warehouse.
Accommodation is only the most basic. To maintain the entire Wall defense system, there must be enough food and grass supplies. The land grant cannot grow any food crops in the winter, and it has little production capacity, which means that there must be a complete and well-functioning supply system to continuously transfuse its blood. For many reasons, Igor hopes to hold the lifeline of Night's Watch in his hands, and the reason is explained in one sentence: he does not want to work for others with no benefit to oneself.
So, Queenscrown is the key again.
＊＊＊
After more than ten days, I returned to this so-called Night's Watch logistics base. Compared with the last time, there have been many changes here. The aboriginal relics on the shore of the lake have been completely demolished. In contrast, there is a wall made of stones obtained after the demolition of the relics, which is almost completed. In the meantime, you can also see the busy silhouette of the builders stationed here.
Maybe it was because of the stone wall, or maybe the soldiers Igor left here had a deterrent effect, wildling appeared around here several times, but instead of trying to loot, they fled directly through the the South.
"Good job, Yam." Igor said approvingly, "Next, try to make the wall higher, and soon, this will be the only place where North supplies go to Wall. , the trade market that countless new land-grant residents depend on for a living.”
“New land-grant residents? Trade market? My lord, I don’t understand this.”
“ I have pulled out the clan people in the western mountain range as reinforcements against the wildling." Igor had no reservations about the oneself, and told the other party what happened: "I promised to feed all their clan members who came out of the mountain, but for the sake of To prevent them from 'hiding oneself's food and eating Night's Watch', I don't plan to provide food directly, but give them money to come to the logistics department's material distribution center and decide what to buy."
"But what's the difference?"
"The difference is big. If they are short of food, they can use all the money to buy food. But if they have their own food reserves Shangfeng, then you can choose to use the money to buy clothes, daily necessities, weapons and other things.” Igor said: “This way, it can not only avoid the possibility of them wasting food, but also reduce the pressure on our material supply... but also bring Another benefit: once the clans find out that money can buy so much, and I only pay them just enough to cover their living expenses every month, they will try to get the money.”
"Where do they get money in a desolate place where they can donate land...except for robbing us?"
"Two channels, one is—selling the resources in the mountains that they have mastered. , ore, etc. are sold to the Night's Watch logistics department. We can use it for our own use or transport it to the south to earn the difference and subsidize the expenses of the Night's Watch industry." The new Queenscrown, while telling the oneself steward: "There is another possibility, which is my main purpose - I will provide them with jobs. The clan people are the foreign aid I invited, and I cannot ask them to give them work. Night's Watch does drudgery for free, but I can lure them into working for Night's Watch with pay as bait - patrolling, repairing the Wall, repairing roads, building, etc. Where I'm from...it's called 'Food for Work'. "
"so that's how it is." Yam was refreshed: "Compared to the southerners, the clan people will be incredibly cheap labor, the adults are good strategies!"
"Besides that, I may create and guide some public opinions in the future - for example, youngsters must have a house and a car... Bah, Only if you have a house, a horse, and a weapon forged by steel essence, can you be eligible for marriage and the like... By creating a positive environment where you can work harder and compete with each other, we will force the new residents of the land to be conscious struggle and work. "
......
How else can you do this? This kind of governance strategy, which can only be mastered by the rulers of the modern world, is undoubtedly an incredible plan for the people of this world... ...Yam thought for a moment, then opened his mouth wide: "This...can it be done? "
"I don't know if it can be done, the cultural atmosphere is this thing, it's not too deliberate. Wait for where water flows, a canal is formed, and then take advantage of the situation... it will naturally exist. Let me warn you first - just be clear in your heart, and don't talk nonsense. I don't want to -- my friends at Night's Watch think I'm taking advantage of them. Igor nods: "Actually, wildling is my original goal. They could have become cheaper and almost free labor than the clansmen. It's a pity... not to mention this, there are other situations that need to be reported here. ? "
"Oh... yes, Roderick Ser of Winterfell took the city of Hornwood, executed the House Bolton illegitimate child who murdered the Hornwood count Lady, and put back the soldier you lent him, They just came to Queenscrown yesterday as instructed, and I was about to send someone to Castle Black to ask the lord what to do with it, and here you are. "
"House Bolton's illegalimate child executed?" "Igor asked suspiciously, intuition that things weren't that simple, "Are you sure, are there any prisoners?" "
"There seems to be a guy named Smelly... The Winterfell City Lord, considering Wall's lack of manpower, sent him along with some other prisoners in the castle dungeon to that team of soldiers, I don't know the specifics. Do you want to help you call the soldiers to inquire? "
Igor narrowed his eyes and vaguely remembered some plots: "Well, by the way, let's also bring up the guy named Smelly." "
After a while, the dozens of soldiers assigned by Robb to Igor and borrowed by Ser Rodrik gathered in the small square newly built in Queenscrown, and at the same time brought a slightly fat man. Young man, his lips are thick and moist, his hair is long...smells like shit.
"This is the captive you took when you killed Bolton's illegalimate child? "Igor looked grimly at the smelly prisoner in front of him.
In the original plot, Ramsay Snow changed clothes with the smelly guy and wiped feces on his body when he was captured by Winterfell. , thus succeeded in concealing Roderick and survived. Later, good luck waited for Theon to surprise Winterfell to release him, and made a bunch of heinous acts such as massacre and burning Winterfell.
This world The people in the show have nothing to do with the television drama actors, and Igor is now guessing: Is this guy in front of oneself the Little Flayer?
