Chapter 296
"Ser, do we still have most of the Golden Dragons?" Dany looked towards the old Knight.
"More than thirty."
"Leave it all to Lord Steward Marsh, winter is here and the days are getting tougher. Starting today, all Night's Watch brothers can receive monthly One Silver Stag, until the next Summer arrives. The money runs out, and I will send a few sacks next time.”
One Golden Dragon is exchanged for 210 Silver Stags, and more than 30 Golden Dragons can almost satisfy Wall’s all. Night's Watch salary for one year.
"A few sacks..."
"Queen Your Majesty, you're not talking nonsense, are you?" Todder couldn't help shouting.
"A Silver Coin? God, I haven't seen a Silver Stag yet!" A little Night's Watch exclaimed excitedly.
"One Silver Stag a month, 12 a year...The Seven is on top, and the Tennessee Knight at the entrance of the village has only more than 200 acres of land, and it doesn't have such a high income!" One The old Night's Watch, who was missing his front teeth, counted with his fingers.
...
"Is that a little too much?" Maester Aemon frowned.
"What a lot, if it weren't for the lack of materials here, and the money couldn't be spent, I would just buy a Golden Dragon per person." Dany said proudly.
"Gudong..." The old Aemon swallowed hard and almost fell over.
"A Golden Dragon..." There was a gasp in the hall.
Dany smiled faintly, and said aloud to everyone: "Don't doubt, you can send Raven to Seven Kingdoms and tell all Westeros, just put on black clothed and spend the winter, when spring comes, I would like to express my love to you. Each Night's Watch distributes 50 Golden Dragons, equivalent to four years of winter, one Golden Dragon every month!"
"How much is that?!" Aemon said in a trance.
"Your Majesty, are you kidding?" Pomegranate Lord Steward was disbelieving.
"Targaryen, your words are like a mountain!"
"Put, puff..." The face of seven or eight black clothed persons turned red, the brain was congested, and they were directly excited. Got to faint.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this news spreads, countless civilians who can't survive will come to Wall to join Night's Watch, thousands, if they can't keep their promises..." Old Maester was worried reminded.
"Hahaha, let alone 10,000, even if there are 100,000 people, it's only 5 million Golden Dragon." Dany raised his head and laughed.
"Five million, Golden Dragon, that's all?" Alliser stammered with Slynt, looking at each other in blank dismay.
"Perestan," Dany called to the red-nosed old man standing aside with a look of contempt, "you come and tell everyone if I can keep my promise."
The old man glanced at everyone in the hall with the eyes of the country bumpkin, raised his chin slightly, and said indifferently: "If Queen Your Majesty has not been defeated by the Allies after the winter, let alone 100,000 people, even a million Night's Watch she will keep Affordable.
If the Allies are defeated by her...Seven Kingdoms adult men will come to the Wall to defend their borders, she has become the overlord of the world, first under the heavens empress, there is so much gold We can create another golden wall!"
"Put, puff, puff..." Night's Watch in the hall felt that his calf was weak, and even Jon Snow was on the verge of collapse. People's "arrogance" is shiver coldly.
Dany is not entirely for the sake of pretending to be a force - well, acting cool is for sure - I don't know if I don't come to Wall, the number of Night's Watch is too small and too few, if there are 10,000 Night's Watch now, 19 With all the castles fully occupied, the Wildlings are no longer a threat to begin with.
Well, with her around, Dany doesn't worry about Wildlings taking the Wall, but a few hundred Night's Watches can't take hundreds of thousands of Wildlings captives!
Secondly, as long as she doesn't ride a dragon on the wall beyond the wall, Night King is really hard to get past the wall if there are enough Night's Watch.
Compared with the fate of the whole world - even if she has no feelings for the Westeros, millions of Golden Dragon is too worth it.
At least 10,000 times stronger than what Robert took to spend.
...
"Congratulations to Queen Your Majesty, Long Live Queen Your Majesty, Long Live True Dragon, Long Live Dragon!"
This time lobby It was almost full of people. Hundreds of Night's Watch raised their horns and toasted Queen Dany.
Well, everyone knows Queen Your Majesty's "Winter Benefit" for them.
50 Golden Dragons!
Can you not sincerely bless her?
After drinking three dishes and five flavors, Dany, who was sitting in the chief, cleared his throat, and said to the Night's Watch executives on both sides: "Lord Commander Mormont has passed away for more than half a year, and the new Lord Commander has not What do you guys think about the election? We're going to negotiate with Wildlings tomorrow, can we leave it out, but you have to send a representative over there, right?"
"Your Majesty, absolutely don't let Wildlings go through. Wall!" Ser Alliser said hastily.
"Wildlings put down their weapons and surrendered unconditionally, which is beneficial to both sides. That's right. But the entire Wall is only six or seven hundred Night's Watch, and it is completely impossible to control so many people outside the city." The veteran and prudent Shadow Tower Commander, Ser Denys Mallister also objected.
grey hair Ser has been the commander of Shadow Tower for 33 years. He is Seagard Earl's uncle. He is senior and has high prestige. Dany has to take his opinion seriously.
"There are hundreds of thousands of Wildlings outside the city, and there are only three ways out: 1. Under the desperate situation, fight hard, break the Wall, and destroy the North; 2. With my two dragons, you more than 600 Night's Watch, will Beyond the wall Wildlings are stubbornly blocked outside the city. When winter comes, 99% of Wildlings will freeze and starve to death; 3. Through negotiation, determine a plan acceptable to both parties and minimize casualties.”
"Ser Mallister, do you have a fourth plan?"
"No, but..." The grey-haired old Ser had a stern look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Winter always kills people, Seven Kingdoms will also have countless civilians freeze to death and starve to death. North has experienced turmoil and is still in turmoil. The situation is not much better than beyond the wall Wildlings, but the amount of food is limited. Even if we capture all the Wildlings, there is no food. Relieve them."
"How do Others solve it?" Jon, who was in the next ordinary seat, couldn't help but ask.
"Others..." Old Ser's hard and cold expression was cracked, and he shook his head helplessly: "I don't know. I understand what you want to say, a Wildlings fell, a Wights stood up, But...I really don't know how to solve this dilemma."
"There are Others?" Perestan frowned across from Jon.
He originally believed that Others were all gimmicks used by Night's Watch to cheat sponsors, but after coming to Wall, almost all Night's Watches regarded Others as real as it should be by rights, which made him beliefs are shaken.
"Your Majesty, you walked around beyond the wall this morning, did you find Others?" asked the old man.
"No, not even the living dead, they seem to be avoiding the Sun. You can ask them when you negotiate with the Wildlings King tomorrow." Dany shook his head.
"Ai, Slaver's Bay is too far from here, otherwise food is not a problem at all." Barristan sighed.
"Well, Ser, what you said reminded me." Dany's mind was dived light flashed, and he couldn't help but smile, "Look at this, can you choose a family of Wildlings to be stationed in the Wall, he My family will follow me across the sea to the other side of the Narrow Sea.
With their family as hostages, Wildlings have to listen to Night's Watch no matter how rebellious they are, and their family can go to the Rhoyne Great Plains to open up wasteland and grow food.”
"This..." So Heavenly Horse's plan to run empty leaves the Night's Watch listening to their conversation in the hall at a loss.
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand, how did Wildlings get to the Essos continent? How many ships should there be hundreds of thousands of people! Also, why are Free Cities willing to accept them?" After Aemon came back to his senses , said strangely.
"Old Master, True Dragon's line of sight, they are all kings!" Dany's mouth evoked a cold and arrogant smile, "What if they want to? Wildlings don't mention it, only the hundreds of Giants, With my dragon, who in the world can stop my sharpness? "
"Using Wildlings to conquer Free City?" Jon frowned and said a little unhappily: "Attack other countries for no reason. , okay? And how many people will die?"
"Boy, you made a mistake, Free Cities has already declared war on Queen Your Majesty," the red-nosed old man shook his head with a complicated look. Dany said, "Your Majesty's energy, vision and wisdom are admirable, and he came up with a plan to solve the three major problems of Wildlings, Others, and the Allies at the same time!
There is no doubt that this plan Win-win for Your Majesty, Wildlings, and Westeros. Maybe before winter, Your Majesty will be crowned first under the heavens empress."
The hall fell silent, and several Night's Watch executives frowned in thought , Even Night's Watch, who drinks and talks about dirty jokes, has become light-handed and silent in a strange atmosphere.
"The impact of this incident is too great for me to bear the responsibility and consequences. Only the Lord Commander can give you the final answer." Pomegranate Bowen Marsh said with a bitter face.
"Then choose Lord Commander!" Dany looked around, said curiously: "Who are the candidates?"
"All Night's Watch brothers have become Lords The qualifications of a Commander also have the right to vote."
Old Aemon tone barely fell, and Slynt, a short double-chin man, stood up and loudly said: "I used to be the commander of the Capital Guard, Commander three Thousand Gold Cloak, or Harrenhal Earl—"
"Earl, your Fiefdom has changed!" Red-nosed old Archmaester reminded: "At this time, Harrenhal belongs to Duke Petyr Baelish!"
Slynt's jaw shook a few times and said with a smile: "It's okay to change it, it is known, Harrenhal has a curse.
Hoare the Black was burned to death in the city by Balerion on the day Harrenhal was built. , then House Qoherys was genocide by Harren the Red, the third City Lord Harroway was slaughtered by Maegor the Cruel, the fourth City Lord Tal had no descendants, genocide...
Alas , think about it, it's really terrifying. In just three hundred years, Harrenhal has changed the owner of the nine surnames, and he is the tenth next.
But people have not yet gone to the castle, they are unlucky... ...Compared with the City Lord who killed nine families before, I can at least put on black clothed and serve the people of Seven Kingdoms.
Now Littlefinger has become the 11th City Lord, and I don't know if he can How long does it take..."
Dany is also dead, don't say I don't know, she is reminded by this guy, she finds that Harrenhal seems to be really cursed, she doesn't know the ending of Slynt, but Littlefinger It's doomed, this...
Who's going to be Twelfth's lord of the Harrenhal?
Would you like to have Tyrion or Jon try it in the future?
If they survive the Long Night...
Slynt puffs up his chest and proclaims, "Brothers, I am qualified and capable of being Lord. Commander, trust me and vote for me too."
"You can't," Dany shook his head, "neither you nor Ser Alliser can be Lord Commander!"
