Chapter 14 Pondering and Fear

The night watchman Yolun is walking down the street with Erya, and King's Landing is plastered with notices that Arya Stark wants Erya, and the guards are looking for her.

But the two of them swaggered through the streets and alleys.

They weren't afraid of being recognized, because Uncle Yulun had already cut off one of her messy hair with a dagger.

Erya still remembers the scene when the breeze blew, and a handful of dirty brown hair scraped across the stone floor and floated towards the church where his father was killed.

"I'll only take men and boys," Yu Lun said as he walked to Erya, who was following him, with only a handful of messy hair left on his head.

He plans to bring Erya into the recruited Night's Watch Reserve, passing through Winterfell on his way to the Great Wall.

Uncle Folds solemnly told Erya that from now until she returned to Winterfell, she would be a boy with no father and no mother.

"It's easy to get out of town, but it's hard to talk about it when you're on the road. You still have a long way to go, and no one is good for you. This time I got thirty men, all young and old, guarding the Great Wall, and the prisoners were almost all adults, thieves, poachers, rapists, etc., and they were not as conscious as your bastard brother Nuo. ”

"If you are discovered, half of this group will hand you over to the Queen Mother without even thinking about it, in exchange for amnesty and a few copper plates. The other half will do the same, don't drink too much water if it's okay, peeing is the most troublesome, if you want to sprinkle, go to the forest by yourself. ”

However, Yuren is also mistaken, going to the toilet is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome are the green hand Romi and Repai.

They were both orphans, and Yuren found several on the streets, assuring them that they would be fed and shoes to wear if they joined the Night's Watch.

Reserve assembly grounds,

Chubby Dun Rep has taken a fancy to Erya's 'sewing needle', which is a parting gift from Jon Eno before he goes to be the night watchman.

The 'Sewing Needle' is a Braavos-style steel short sword, which Erya also used to learn swordsmanship for a period of time with the chief swordsman of Braavos, Celio Friel.

Erya was pushed to the ground by the hot faction, looking at the clamoring little fat man, thinking silently.

I'll see how you die!

When the opportunity finally came, she grabbed the hand that wanted to grab the sword, pulled out the sword and pointed it at the little fat man.

"I've already killed a chubby dun, do you want to try it too?"

Repai was pointed at by the sword, so he could only hurriedly retreat, but he bumped into the black-haired burly young man Gendry who was sorting out the goods behind him, he was Baratheon, but he didn't know it.

The blacksmith-turned-Robert illegitimate son, Gendry, nicknamed 'Big Bull', pushed the chubby mound away.

"Bullying children, right? I used to strike iron, do you want to bully me too?"

The hot pie scared away.

Erya asked Da Niu why he came to be a night watchman.

The bull Gendry smiled bitterly and said, "Because the blacksmith doesn't want me anymore, he sent me to be the night watchman." ”

Da Niu didn't know, in fact, this was all to protect him, just like Erya, only people can stir up the storm if they live.

Gan!

Dani Tully arrives in the backyard of the Lord's Palace.

I saw Lord Lynn who was instructing his servants to take out the bedding and mosquito nets from the bedroom to prepare for drying.

Westeros is still in the middle of a long summer, and even though the fishing village harbour is located in the north, the daytime is actually very strong in a kingdom that seems to be forever cold.

Wool bedding contains keratin, which is also an ideal food for borer eggs to hatch into larvae, especially in places like coastal towns, where the quilt can become moister, mildew-prone and smelly over time.

Therefore, it is more necessary to dry it frequently to remove moisture and germs from the quilt.

"Your Excellency," Danny asked, respectfully faux please, "are you looking for me?"

Lynn commanded the two servants to put the bedding on a wooden stick and hang it on the drying wood, and turned to see Dany's figure appear in the doorway.

Lynn nodded at her, explaining why she was called.

"The recruited craftsmen don't have jobs for the time being anyway, and if they are idle, they can send some people to the camp of the cavalry regiment and build a few temporary medical centers and tents for female soldiers. ”

"Okay," Dani agreed, bowing down, "No problem, my lord!"

Lynn felt that the fat servant woman in front of her might have misunderstood what she meant, and actually wanted to use a wooden stick to directly stab the bedding.

"Let go of that stick and let me come. He hurriedly stopped.

Drying quilts is a technical job.

After finishing the bedding herself, Lynn turned around, only to find that Dani was still in place and had not left.

"What?" asked Lynn, "anything else?"

Dani nodded, "My lord, starting from today, the food reserves of the lord's mansion can only be eaten by everyone for eight days. ”

Lynn was slightly stunned when she heard this, and suddenly felt that her scalp was numb!

Are you kidding?

No food is dead!

Moreover, news of the occupation of the Three Sisters has already come from the blaster system, and he is preparing to expand his recruitment, how can he feed those artisans without food.

"It's a real nuisance. ”

Lynn frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

At all times, in any world, the issue of food is the most important issue.

Their own territory is full of fishermen, and there are no farmers who plant, which is a congenital disadvantage.

Almost all of the nearby grain production areas were concentrated in the River Lands or the Trident Valley, where the Civil War was raging at this time.

The peasants are probably displaced by the war.

He estimates that food in the next few years could be the real big problem.

Definitely have to find a way.

Lynn had a calculation in her mind.

Reducing the distribution of food, while it will last more time, will not help in the first place, and will slow down the progress of the business he has planned.

"Let's go to the pantry and have a look. ”

Lynn ran out of ideas for a while, and planned to go to the storage room to check the situation first, he didn't have enough finances in his hands, otherwise he could send a ship to White Harbor City to buy a batch.

Lynn pondered as he walked, as Dani and Hood, the leader of the guards, followed closely behind him.

The group went to the basement of the kitchen of the Lord's Mansion, the only food storage room in the mansion, about 50 square meters, with shelves full of bread, dried meat, dried pickled fish, and round cabbage.

In the corner are several sealed barrels with malt liquor, and bags of wheat flour.

The smell of food fills the air.

"That's all?"

Lynn's face was not very good, looking at the situation, Dani said that there were only eight days of food stock left or a conservative estimate, based on the amount of three meals a day for a normal adult, these estimates were not enough for five or six days of food reserves.

Dani replied, "Yes, my lord, that's all, I have arranged for someone to check it, and there should be 400 portions of bread, 250 portions of air-dried meat, and 300 pieces of cabbage." The amount of wine and wheat flour is just in the corner. ”

"Aren't we going to buy a month's worth of grain from the merchants who traveled far away every month, and there are also a lot of fresh fish and vegetables from the sand every day in the fishing village and port market. ”

Dani said helplessly: "I heard that the merchants have only brought bacon and sausages recently, as well as a small amount of salt, sugar, and spices, and there is not much real food. ”

Lynn was surprised at first, then her eyes flashed, and she asked, "Was it bought by Robb's army?"

The war requires a lot of food, and Robb's army in the north must be buying the little food in the north on a large scale.

"I've heard that it's not the Starks who are buying food, since the alliance between the North and the Freys, the Riverlands have been enough to supply the front line for the time being. Dani said.

"Oh, which big family could that be?" Lynn wondered.

Hu De, the leader of the guards on the side, said: "It may be the Iron People, there were several caravans from the Iron Islands passing by the fishing village port yesterday, and they even went to the east of the northern border to buy grain." ”

When Dani heard this, a surprised expression appeared on her little face.

The Iron Islands were to the west of Westeros, and if they sent merchant ships to the east to buy grain through the fishing village port, they could only go to the widow's hope, and even if they bought grain, they could not sail the ship directly to the Iron Islands, but could only transport them to Neck, take a land route, and transport them back to the Iron Islands by sea.

Such a long way to buy grain, this was beyond her expectations.

Dani believes that this will also surprise everyone.

Lynn's brow furrowed, equally confused.

To the east of the North is the filinter fiefdom. Widow's Hope is their lord's city, in the easternmost part of the kingdom north of Westeros.

The widow looked very close to the shore of the Narrow Sea, and heard that the land there was fertile.

After a while, Lynn breathed a long sigh of relief and said to herself, "The Iron Islands are starting to move, and the northern part of the country is going to be in danger. ”

Dani Tully didn't understand for a moment, and asked, "What did you say, my lord?"

Lynn didn't answer, he was thinking.

Neck Ze is not the front line of the war, at this time, it should be the Lord of the Dreaded Island, Luce Bolton, who is there to gather the Northern Army.

And it just so happened that at this time, the iron people of the Iron Islands took this opportunity to transport grain from the east to their hometown in the Iron Islands through the neck.

If there is no cat here, the ghost will believe it.

Lynn remembers that Luce Burton, the skinner, was once one of Robb Stark's most trusted men in Game of Thrones, but at the bloody wedding, the skinner inserted a dagger into Robb's heart.

Before that, the Iron People of the Iron Isles rebelled, raiding the North, taking DeepLimburg, Torrum Fang, and Carlin Bay, and finally taking Winterfell, the Stark family's lair.

This caused Robb's army to fall into the back of the enemy, and also induced Robb to accept the comfort of Jenny Westerling of the Westerling family in grief and reneged on his marriage contract with the Freys.

Finally, there was a bloody wedding.

Is it all a big game of chess prepared in advance?

If you weren't the lord of the fishing village port, you wouldn't have been able to find out what was wrong with it?

The more Lynn thought about it, the more wrong it became, and for a moment she almost let her thoughts be stunned.

Sure enough, I was very scary to think about it, and the ancients did not deceive me!
