Chapter 405 Under the Heavens
Daenerys, who was taught like a child, did not speak back at all After being shocked by the terrifying shock of Igor's strategy, what followed was a long-lost heartbeat feeling - even her oneself couldn't tell, whether this heartbeat was for this so-called "big Crownlands plan", or for the front The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch points the country and rebukes Fang Qiu's arrogance.

For a Queen like her, who is unwilling to be ordinary and longs to be famous in history, it must be a lie to say that she does not have a longing for this plan... Unfortunately, I am heartbroken, this plan sounds too much like a fantasy story As she came all the way, she immediately remembered the military problems: "This 'Great Crownlands' is indeed rich in products and has a large population, but such a completely invulnerable plain, how should we defend it? A possible foreign attack?"

"Where did the foreign attack come from? You are the one to break the wheel of history, shouldn't you be - the whole Westeros is your country, 'Under the world, could it be? Queen's Land'? The areas outside the Great Crownlands are all your subjects even if they are not directly under your jurisdiction. Steward who guards the remote lands for you!" Igor shrugged, and continued, "So your question should be: If in the distant future, these remaining high lords who have not been included in the Crownlands are rebellious and want to rebel... How should the royal government defend and resist? That's really a good question, so this 'Great Crownlands Plan', and the next subsidiary part - checks and balances."

 …

"Or did your ancestral rule create the conditions for you: before Aegon's conquest, kingdoms with harsh climates or poorer lands were self-contained and their populations remained low. What about now? North, The basic peace of Westerlands and Dorne for hundreds of years has made them accustomed to buying food from Reach and Riverlands, and will no longer starve to death due to disasters or winter. Although Vale is barely self-sufficient, it is only Because the climate is good and the soil is fertile, the single plane can produce more grain. Due to the narrow terrain of the mountains within the valley and the lack of arable land, it is doomed that this status quo cannot be maintained for long. Its strength has become stronger, but on the other hand, it has also made these four places more dependent on the outside world. As long as Your Majesty controls the lifeline of food, it will choke the throats of all dominions outside the Greater Crownlands."

"Of course, just because the food is unreliable, Your Majesty still has to put some 'shackles' and 'collars' on the four places, so that your successors can also be worry-free: North Folk Biao The army is strong and the battle strength is strong. My suggestion is to divide and conquer - to assign the mountain clan to the land grant, and change the law to declare that it has been The increasingly weak Night's Watch system came to an end, and the Wall defenders were dispatched and paid directly from the central government, directly under the royal family. By weakening the North's strength, placing such a garrison behind it, and monitoring the every move of the lords, the possibility of 'gathering troops south' is strangled; Westerlands: rich in gold, rich in the world, you must have heard of Duke Tywin's release of 'gold The MCO 'to control the economic lifeline of the Westerlands to focus resources on post-war reconstruction, Your Majesty only needs to follow the bottle gourd - but change the rules a little, namely: Seven Kingdoms gold, no matter who owns it, as long as more than A certain amount must be kept by the bank, and the bank's large vault must be located in the capital - that is, the gold of Westeros may not be yours, but most of the entity must be in your hands. Simply moving gold from one room to another and never leaving the Crownlands when their masters use them, rooted out the possibility of anyone conspiring with their wealth to jeopardize your rule. "

"The North and the Westerlands have always been strong and had to be specifically targeted...and Vale and Dorne needn't worry too much: the former has a good record, but it's more about being on the right team than the other." He is strong, small country and few people. In terms of strength, he can only be regarded as the middle level. After many years, he has not even conquered the mountain clans within oneself. The Xu Family that he has saved over the past ten years also lost in the Lords Declarant rebellion not long ago. It's all clean... As long as a defender stops the Bloody Gate, the powerful Royal Navy controls the sea and the foreign trade of Seagull Town, and then orders melons, vegetables and horses to pay tribute to the royal family, and use these crops not related to food to occupy its limited To increase its demand for food from the outside world, it will not be able to turn any waves. As for Dorne...hehe, although the slogan of 'Dorne is as strong as the sand' is loud, even Aegon's failure to conquer it can be called Legendary, but in the final analysis, Dorne people are only good at fighting guerrilla warfare in the desert, and they are not afraid to wear bare feet. Shoes always consume energy until you win. The population is sparse and the resources are poor, and it is not good to go out of their own nests. Likewise, they only need to contain the two valley passes and control the food supply, and they will not become the protagonists in the power field at the end of the world..."

"Oh, almost forgot about the Iron Islands...hey, Tiny Land, jumping clown, forget it. "Once the guns are on board, Iron Fleet, the proud gang of robbers, is nothing," Igor thought, taking another sip of the cold wine, sighed: "But, here I have to mention— -How many tricks and tricks Your Majesty prepares in her lifetime, if future generations are disappointing, they are all vain. Only the strength of oneself is the eternal truth. Take control of the most prosperous area of Westeros, and put the reins on the necks of the remaining four countries, and develop productivity under this good situation. Soon, the royal family will have excess wealth to maintain a standing army larger than the capital garrison. . On the basis of the solid foundation of the country, we will continue to work hard to develop science and technology, and always keep one step ahead, and the rule will be worry-free for eternity. ”

The room quieted down, Igor finished what he had to say, sat quietly in the same place, shook his legs easily, sipped wine, and admired not only the amazing beauty , is also the most powerful young Queen in the world. The peerless face...the contemplative expression that was crippled by oneself...and the wonderful contrast between the two.

Why did Igor, the last time we met at Dragonstone, prefer to annoy Daenerys rather than offer these tricks? Why was he secretly delighted when he succeeded in coaxing Daenerys into the Queenscrown's tower? Why did he stress not to Tell anyone else what we're talking about today?
Very simple: his grand blueprint, which seems to be thought out everywhere for Daenerys, tailored for her ideal of "breaking the wheel", is in fact a lot of personal stuff , to avoid the important and only talk about the advantages and not the disadvantages... The little Queen with common knowledge and experience is more than enough, but whenever a veteran like Varys and Petyr is present, they will definitely quickly point out the problems and omissions in his high-level arguments. .In that way, he can't smoothly act cool and fool the little Queen into a stunned little thing. If he is accused of being covered in dirt and losing face, then it will be over.

Igor is equal to oneself. Clear: In addition to far beyond ordinary people's insight and knowledge, oneself's tactics and political tactics are impossible. Compared with eunuch and Littlefinger, the best effect this scene wants to achieve is to make Daenerys think that oneself has met like-minded people Her comrade-in-arms met an expert who was hard to find in the world. She suddenly found out that there is still one person in the world who can give her something that no one else can give her. She gained a certain status in her heart, and even looked at it differently.

To fully realize the goal, this meeting must be conducted one-on-one without any external interference. If it can be on Igor's territory, let him again Add a layer of psychological advantage to the guests, and it's even better.

This Little Pagoda building in Queenscrown couldn't be more perfect.

No matter how lofty the slogan and cause, It can't win loyalty more than profit. The development of productivity will make the cake bigger, but the share will never change from 100% to 101%. If you want to get a piece of the game, you are in the corner and completely missed the stage. First thing Igor did: destroy some of the nobility - kick some players off the table for oneself and following onesel Make some room for the Night's Watch faction of f.

There are many reasons why Queen is persuaded to engage in "big Crownlands" instead of conquering the whole territory and directly running into the era of centralization. Jumping directly from feudal separatism to centralization, in theory, it is natural to maximize benefits, but the unification dynasty looks wonderful, but it has a great drawback: its rules will change from a complex set of benefits distribution, exchange and mutual checks and balances to Simple "winner takes all", and this unconstrained nature makes the power struggle more brutal than ever.

If Seven Kingdoms is compared to a chess and card room, then Igor, the transmigrator, is the god of gamblers who suddenly broke in. With the advantages of predicting the plot, understanding the characters, and his own vision and knowledge, he has the same cheat-like card skills. But although his skills are good, he is an outsider in this chess and card room. Everyone plays at the poker table according to the rules and regulations, and he can make a lot of money... But once the table is overturned, After leaving the chess and card room and playing a big fight, he may not have the last laugh if he has insufficient foundation.

The four remaining dominions of East, South, West, North...Yu Gong are the guarantee and pressure to stabilize the kingship and make the ruling structure of Westeros transition smoothly from one mode to another. Cabin stone; and for private purposes, it is also a personal insurance for Igor: once the great cause is achieved in the future, the four countries that have not been settled are the "bandits" that oneself care for, and the reliance on oneself to avoid falling into the predicament of rabbits and dogs. ... Not to mention, North and Westerlands in these four countries are quite friendly with oneself.

......

Igor, as a "foreigner", even if he has a killer in his hand and is famous for Seven Kingdoms, it is impossible for him to suddenly jump on the table and become the dealer. He needs a "springboard" to jump out of the land grant: supporting King Stannis is the worst choice, thankless; and the little Aegon Igor in the south has no understanding at all, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will end up futile; Joffrey Baratheon in oneself's hand is a Good chess piece, but if you claim it is orthodox and then start your army... It is equivalent to fighting alone until the North, Riverlands and Tywin merge.

All things considered, Daenerys was the best choice: Igor knew a little about her temperament, she also had a fairly decent armed force, and most importantly...

p>

Igor took a deep breath and reluctantly admitted that the Queen's cheat took effect on oneself, although he remained normal on the surface of reason... But deep in his subconscious, he vaguely realized that oneself had actually put " Taking refuge with the Dragon Queen" was the first, and even the last, decision, and even a little can't wait to serve her. As long as she stretches out the olive branch again, oneself will definitely pick it up.

However, after looking up at Daenerys' tangled expression, Igor smiled again: "Everyone is birds of a feather. You got me hooked with that inexplicable attraction, so why don't I rely on it?" Offering an incredibly wonderful prospect holding you back? Although both Littlefinger and Varys are top players, they are limited by their own vision, interests and class attributes. No matter how much they rack their brains, it is impossible for Queen to offer a plan that is more fascinating to Queen than the "big Crownlands plan".

oneself seized this opportunity for Daenerys to leave the staff and spared no effort to stuff her a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas... From extravagance to thrift, later, the other two players put the "feudal lord" No matter how fragrant or sweet this wowtou is made, she will only find it boring.

Igor dares to conclude that no matter how Queen weighs the pros and cons and analyzes the pros and cons, she will eventually succumb to the strong desire and yearning in her subconscious and embark on the road that oneself has drawn for her!
