The procedure for the wildlings to enter the Wall was as follows: the Night's Watch set up a temporary wooden fence at the entrance to the ice wall of the Black Castle and dug a deep trench around it, the large army of the wildlings stayed in the camp at the edge of the Ghost Forest outside the barrier, and the three giants who passed through the Wall were to assemble with a designated tribe inside the wooden fence and surrender all their weapons...... Take all your belongings and burrow into the narrow and dark passage through the Great Wall.

Waiting for them was Castle Black, which was on high alert.

In the month of the-for-tat confrontation with the Wildlings, Houguan Town, which was fully supplied with raw materials, produced several more cans of wildfire, and now, these extremely lethal liquids have been mixed into a large number of asphalt and oil drums, and piled up on the top of the Great Wall. As soon as the wildlings show signs of intent on tearing up the agreement, the Night's Watch sentry at the top of the Wall will not hesitate to set them on fire, dropping oil canisters into the entrance, and sealing the hole with explosions and fire. At the same time, the more than 1,000 night watchmen and land-giving militia gathered in Castle Black could easily wipe out a few giants and a large number of ordinary wildlings who had already passed through the Great Wall.

......

If this first step goes well, it will be the turn of the savages to enter Castle Black through the tunnel, and they will be greeted by several registration slots at the exit. Here, several literate record-keepers will register the population of the new grantees, count the tribe, name, age, gender, and simple characteristics of each new grantee, and issue the corresponding identification. Dozens of night watchmen then weigh the food brought by the wildlings who entered Castle Black, count the livestock they brought in, pick out a list of items and put them in storage, and give cash compensation to the original owners according to their type and quantity...... Then they were invited out of Castle Black.

Egger's original plan was to buy everything the wildlings could eat at a low price, but considering that some of the livestock still needed to be raised, he ended up buying only horses and allowing the wildlings to take the rest of their possessions with them to the settlement.

If even this step goes well, this batch of wildlings will truly and completely transform into land-givers and become residents under the command of the Night's Watch. They will be taken out of Castle Black to a row of stalls on the outside of the newly built and reinforced high wall...... Here, the wildlings who came out of the gates of Castle Black could exchange the copper plates and silver coins they had just obtained for all kinds of daily necessities, food, warm clothing, tent cloths, and even simple hunting tools.

While selling daily necessities to the savages, the "stall owners" did not forget to tell the new donors that if they wanted to obtain more copper plates and silver coins, there were two ways to pawn surplus items that were not on the compulsory collection list and were not confiscated...... Or work for the night watchman.

If a careful savage pays a little attention, he will find that the price at which they sell their grain is that the half of the night watchman who buys it again after going out is forcibly buying the savage's grain at half price, and then sells it again at the normal price. This is equivalent to the savages paying half the grain and accepting the rule in exchange for the right to pass through the Great Wall!

Egyou vividly remembers the scene of his first class meeting in the first grade of primary school: after the homeroom teacher finished talking about campus affairs, a middle-aged man walked in the door, holding a large box, and handed out a packet of noodles and a small box of candy to each child in the classroom, and told the children that there was a store at the back of the school building, and if they wanted to eat snacks, they could go there to buy them.

This is in the nineties of the last century, in that era when preschool education was not yet popular, and "snacks" and "pocket money" were still rare concepts, I don't know how many children were instilled into the two concepts of "commissary" and "snacks can be bought with money" by the school commissary owner's less than one dollar.

This was part of the inspiration for Egger's plan, as the Night's Watch could have done something more straightforward and simple if they were simply trying to feed themselves by taking half of the food from the newly gifted landowners...... But there is no better way to help the former barbarians grasp the concept of money and learn to use it than to "give them a lump sum and then teach them how to use it on the spot".

These coins, made of copper or silver, can be used to buy all sorts of things, and once the new land-givers discover this, they are quickly impressed by the great charm of money and voluntarily become small parts of the small land-giving country.

＊＊＊

After the previous group of wildlings has completed all the steps of population counting, handing over food, and buying daily necessities, and become complete "new donors" and have been taken to the selected resettlement site, the next group of wildlings who have surrendered their weapons in the wooden fence outside the wall will be put in again at the signal.

In this way, the wildlings inside Castle Black will always be at an absolute military disadvantage, and the Night's Watch can rest easy.

Due to cultural differences and a crisis of trust, all these steps did not go as smoothly as they were introduced, but under the onlookers and "guidance" of the dense black-clothed soldiers around them, the first and second waves of savages reluctantly but orderly passed through the Great Wall and the Black Castle, completing the transformation of identity.

The inhabitants south of the Wall called these people "savages", and they called themselves "free people", but as far as Iger could see from the King's Tower...... They look neither savage nor free, only fear, numbness, and uncertainty about the future.

......

Povin Marcy walked up behind Mormont and Egger, who were staring at the wildlings as they crossed the Wall, and said in a heavy tone: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when we once prevented the wildlings from crossing the Great Wall at the cost of our lives...... How many of these people have fought against our brothers? In the end, we have to let them in. ”

Othello also looked uneasy, "From now on, we will be the joke of countless Westeros, and people will turn their heads and spit on the mention of the Night's Watch. ”

"Two adults, this is a manifestation of your lack of will. Without looking back, Egger buttoned his hat on his colleague: "Is it more important for the night watchman to guard the Great Wall against the Strangers, or is it more important to have an image in the eyes of the people of the Seven Kingdoms? Think about this, and there will be no more self-doubt!"

Jon Snow whispered with some suspicion, "Will the wildlings obediently obey the command and follow our laws?"

"Instead of wasting time guessing whether the wildlings will be obedient, smart people should think directly about how to make sure they obey our laws and put the results of that thinking into practice. Iger replied dryly: "Our laws have made it clear how to deal with the offenders, enforce them with iron-clad efficiency, and you will find that after the initial hardships, we will soon not have to worry about it." ”

......

"Egger, the wildlings have been put into the Wall as you wish. Mormont, who was silent, suddenly spoke, "But the food crisis has only been temporarily alleviated, and your next plan to use them and the members of the Mountain Clan to solve the Iron Folk invasion is also on the agenda." The ideas you put forward will be implemented by you, and the Legion will fully cooperate, so don't mess up. ”

"Leave it to me. Looking at Mormont with a solemn face, Iger nodded confidently, and then quickly remembered something that had been overlooked before: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, there is one thing that seems meaningless, but it is very important. I propose that the use of highly subjective terms such as 'savages' and 'freedmen' in public places should be prohibited in land grants, and that the term 'new land-grantees' be used instead. Since we hope that these Cypriot visitors will build the land like the real inhabitants of the land, obey our laws, and serve the night watchmen, we cannot treat them unfairly. ”

Mormont frowned suspiciously, not quite understanding the point of doing this, but after thinking about it, there was no harm, and nodded: "Okay, add this to the law of land grants...... In addition, simply lick another one more piece of land to completely cancel the kneeling salute, so that if our 'new land donors' still want to use the 'kneeling person' to mock us, we will also have a solid and powerful weapon to fight back. ”

Egg raised an eyebrow: "Good idea, my lord!"

Political correctness has always been a derogatory term, but only those in high positions can understand that sometimes it really has a meaning. Now, the land grant is about to have its own political correctness, and it has to be said that it is just beginning to take shape, and it is already becoming more and more like a complete small country. 2k reading web
