Chapter 28: The Imperial Council
The death of Icewolf Ammon did not cause any waves in King's Landing. Only Sansa, Arya asked. But they were all carried by Aven, and Ammon accidentally fell from the tower while playing. The two couldn't help but have a sad feeling. Is it true that the Icewolf can't survive in the South?
The facts were soon verified, Sansa's Icewolf was seriously ill, and Arya, Jon's Icewolf also looked a little unhealthy. The "lady" lasted three days and died. All of King's Landing is left with Arya's "Namelia" and Jon's "White Spirit", both of whom see that both Evan and Sansa's Icewolves are dead. Quickly arrange for the guards to send Namelia and Bai Ling back to the north. Evan later heard that the two ice wolves had disappeared into the jungle on their way back to the north because they had no owner.
The political center of the kingdom, the Red Keep, the Arch Hall! Ed convened the Imperial Council!
"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss with you how to solve the mess in the civilian area of King's Landing!"
Joining the Imperial Council today are Eddard Stark, Hand of the King, and Barristan Selmi, Captain of the Kingsguard. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Petyr Berry. Minister of Justice, Ranley Baratheon. Chief of Intelligence, Eunuch Varys.
Fellow, Paischer.
Everyone was silent after listening to Prime Minister Eide's words. This question has plagued King's Landing for more than two hundred years. It can be said that King's Landing is built on a pile of and urine, and everyone in King's Landing has to endure the stench every day. If it can be solved early, who will wait until today.
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Ed spoke, "Since no one said it, I will say it, and I believe that all of you here have heard of Count Evan Mormont, who came to King's Landing in a coma and did not come to his senses until the day before yesterday. I told him about this problem after he woke up, and he gave him a solution? ”
For a moment, those present were extremely curious about what kind of solution this person who was known as the smartest man in Westeros would give. Ed didn't whet everyone's appetite, and said directly: "Evan gave a solution, which is divided into two aspects, the first is the transformation of King's Landing, no one considered the problem of dirt and mess at the beginning of King's Landing, so the garbage disposal in King's Landing is always a problem. You should have heard that Bear Island is the cleanest city in the entire mainland, because Evan has built a complete sewer system and garbage disposal system on Bear Island during the eight years of construction. That's why Bear Island is clean. After Aven's investigation, King's Landing can replicate the experience of Bear Island.
The second aspect is to start with the population. It is well known that the northern territory is vast but uncultivated. Every time winter comes, a large number of people die in the north due to lack of food. As you may have heard, Evan has been employing people to grow food in the North for the past few years, and his suggestion is to hire people who have no property in King's Landing and have difficulty surviving to the North to farm. You can divert a large part of the population and reduce the pressure on King's Landing! ”
When they had heard this, they began to whisper. After a while, Littlefinger spoke: "There is no objection to Bear Island hiring the low-end population of King's Landing to grow food in the north, but the proposal to transform King's Landing City still needs to be considered. ”
Ed spoke, "Why? ”
"Because the kingdom has no money, and now the kingdom still owes the Iron Vault, Bear Island, and the Lannister family millions of gold dragon coins!"
Ed spoke: "The kingdom has no money Evan has already considered it, and he is willing to provide an interest-free loan to the kingdom, but he has a request!" ”
Minister of Justice Lan Li said, "What request?" ”
"The renovation project for King's Landing will be handed over to the construction team of Bear Island!"
Everyone thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small problem. King's Landing wanted to replicate Bear Island's garbage disposal system, and the best option was Bear Island's construction team. They have experience in building Bear Island! And this construction team is equivalent to the Chinese construction company in the previous life. Directly led by Bear Island!
Littlefinger spoke: "Since Bear Island is willing to provide interest-free loans, I don't have any opinion!" ”
Lan Li said, "I agree, there is no opinion!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the Scholar, the Captain of the Kingsguard, and the Director of Intelligence all agreed to a plan for the management of the mess in King's Landing. Seeing that everything was going well, Ed said, "Then I will report to Your Majesty and ask him to decide." ”
When Ed said this, he felt ridiculous. Ever since he had come to King's Landing, he had finally realized that what Robert had said in Winterfell was no joke at all. At that time, Robert said, "Ed, since you helped me lay down this Iron Throne in the first place, then you must help me defend him." When it comes to King's Landing, you help me govern the country, and I can have more free time to talk to prostitutes! ”
Ed thought Robert was joking, but when he arrived in King's Landing, Robert would leave everything behind. Drink and have fun every day, and sing every night. On several occasions he went to report and met several naked women in Robert's room. And Robert's most frequent answer to his debriefing questions is, you just decide.
On the one hand, Ed is very grateful to Robert for the trust he has placed in him. On the other hand, he was angry at Robert's ridiculous behavior. But it doesn't matter if it's grateful, it's angry. The procedure still has to be followed, whether Robert likes to listen to it or not, he will always report to Robert about the major affairs of the kingdom.
King's Landing, Blue Castle. A man dressed in sackcloth stood in front of Aven, who looked at Ewen with a respectful expression. If the logistics steward of the Blue Castle entered the room, he would definitely recognize this person. He was the nearest food supplier to Blue Castle: "Lord Aven, it's my pleasure to meet you!" ”
Evan spoke, "Now you can report on the results of the shadow's investigation!" ”
The man in sackcloth said, "My lord, after three days of investigation, most of the information you ordered has already been reported!"
First of all, the whereabouts of several people, Prime Minister Eddard Stark, the leader of the golden robes, Genos Slint, and Tyrion Lannister, all of whom have been perfectly grasped by us, and now they are monitored by shadows.
But King Robert Baratheon, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, are in the Red Keep, and Lord Monet asks you if you activate the shadow in the Red Keep? ”
Ai Wen pondered slightly: "Not for the time being, when it starts, I will rule you!" ”
"Yes, sir."
Evan continued, "Can you first report on any anomalies in Lord Eddard's whereabouts for the past three months?" ”
