Chapter 547: Out to Sea
The liquidation operation was carried out in an orderly manner, and many nobles took the initiative to pay fines in order to be less fined, and for this category, Li Lingyi was naturally very satisfied, but the inspection was still not relaxed at all.
There were tens of thousands of nobles large and small in the city, and the liquidation activity was carried out for a week, and millions of gold dragons were collected, and this was only one step. It's just that the Golden Dragon has been liquidated, and there are some estimates of the value of other items, but this is a long-term assessment process, and it will not end in a short time.
And these golden dragons that were collected, Li Lingyi did not fill them into the warehouse according to what he said before, but used them all for people's livelihood. Many of the facilities in King's Landing are in a dilapidated state, and some of the roads are rotten, rough and difficult to navigate. So hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on repairs on this alone.
At the same time, the rest of the money is used to help some poor civilians to make ends meet, which of course is subject to strict assessments. In addition, Li Lingyi also intends to set up a "bank" system.
The reason why the iron vault can be so powerful in this world is because he started the business of "loans" and became the first person to eat crabs, so he snowballed and saved more money and entered a crazy virtuous circle.
So Li Lingyi naturally wants to do it, but it is not enough to have a concept, the detailed rules are the key, they all need to be studied and formulated slowly by the bachelors, and there is no need to worry for the time being.
And the rest of the money, Li Lingyi approved all the construction of warships, gathered the strength of almost the entire continent to build, and the progress can be said to be a thousand miles in a day. After all, this ancient ship is not very exquisite, as long as the materials are sufficient, dozens of workers can build one in three days.
Li Lingyi directly hired tens of thousands of civilians to build in the name of the government, and most of these civilians were poor and could not find jobs, so it was appropriate to hand over this kind of national construction work to them, which not only solved the employment problem, but also they would definitely do their jobs dutifully.
As for the city......
Li Lingyi stood in front of the warehouse at this time, and when he looked up, it was full of bottles filled with green liquid.
"It's a room full of dangerous goods..."
Li Lingyi roughly counted it, there were almost thousands of bottles in the entire warehouse, if one exploded, then the result could refer to the church that exploded in the episode, and everyone was turned into ashes in an instant.
These alchemical products, called "wildfire", are extremely powerful. It would be a great waste to put it here.
Besides, it's too dangerous to put all the eggs in one basket, and if you hit them all, it's over. And the warehouse was located in the center of the city, so it was too dangerous and had to be moved to a place on the outskirts of the city where no one lived.
And for this wildfire, Li Lingyi has always had a plan, and he is also ready to use some for this naval battle, after all, his fleet is not as good as the Iron Islands, so he must use some special means.
"Ivey, is this thing really as powerful as you say?" asked Soros, who had never seen this wildfire before, so he was naturally very curious.
"You'll know if you try a bottle. Li Lingyi said and asked, "By the way, how is the transformation of the simple catapult going?"
"It's been transformed. Soros said, "But I can only throw a few pounds of things, and the distance has also sacrificed a lot for accuracy, only about 30 meters." ”
"Enough. ”
At this time, Soros also reacted, "Ivey, the purpose of your research is not to vote for this...... Wildfire, huh?"
"Yes. ”
Li Ling nodded, this is his purpose, something like wildfire will not be easily extinguished when it is burned, and it will not stop if it is not burned clean. It is conceivable that such a thing, if thrown on the opponent's ship, will definitely cause great damage.
"By the way, Ivey, the talks on Euron's side have collapsed. Soros added, "I heard that he is also going to ally with that Daenerys." ”
"Then even he cleaned it up. ”
Ten days later.
Daenerys' army officially set off, and according to Hawkeye's report, an army of nearly 30,000 people boarded about 300 ships. The destination of these ships was Lannisport.
As soon as Li Ling received the news, he immediately made a decision to go to sea to rob him.
Only by inflicting heavy damage on them at sea, once those three dragons were allowed to run ashore, they would definitely cause large-scale destruction, which was not what Li Lingyi wanted to see. It's different at sea, where at least no civilians will be injured anyway.
And by now, the Flagless Army has built more than 200 warships, which are not inferior to the enemy in numbers, and far superior to the enemy in diversity.
For this battle, Li Lingyi also plans to fight in person, after all, this battle is too critical to make any mistakes. Although the other generals didn't agree, they couldn't influence Li Lingyi's decision, so they could only let him go.
As for the soldiers who are going to fight, you don't need to bring too many, a few thousand are enough. There are very few opportunities for hand-to-hand combat in naval warfare, especially in ancient times, when they collided with each other's ships or shot each other with bows and arrows.
However, this time Li Lingyi was well prepared, and the configuration of the fleet was also carefully arranged. The outermost part is full of heavy defensive warships, the inner ring is full of fast ships full of bows and crossbows, and in the middle are more than 20 "dragon shooting" ships where Li Lingyi is.
The ships form a semicircle, each with two former Lannister giant ballistas arranged on it. This is what Li Lingyi specially used to deal with those three dragons, as long as they dare to appear, it will definitely be inevitable that they will have a fate of breaking their wings and falling.
"According to the intelligence, let's go in this direction, and it won't take a day to collide head-on. Soros said that he also came with him in this battle, and said that if he had the opportunity, he must catch the dragon mother with his own hands and see what kind of woman can control the three dragons.
Li Lingyi was also very speechless about this, he had nothing to look forward to, even if the dragon mother was as beautiful as the immortals, it had nothing to do with him, he was more concerned about those dragons.
Although the dragon in the world of power is not very strong, it can only be regarded as a powerful "animal". This is different from the East, which feels that the dragon is a mythical symbol and cannot be defeated by man.
Therefore, Li Lingyi is also very curious about the dragons in this world, and wants to study the detailed structure, so he wants to try to see if he can be captured alive, and whether he can be tamed after being captured alive. Of course, it may be difficult to capture a dragon alive, but it is not impossible to capture Daenerys alive, after all, she is just an ordinary woman after losing that long list of titles.
