Iger and Tyrion discuss the details of building a book-printing chain as they return to the inn together. When he entered, the boss told Iger that a young man had come to him in the afternoon to ask for money.

"I think it's the son of the mine head you introduced to me. Egger thought about it carefully, he hadn't borrowed a sum of money for the time being, and there was naturally only one person who could come to him and ask for money: "Probably the Longjing Mine can start and needs funds...... There are so many things that I almost forget about it. ”

"Tomorrow let Jack send a sum of money first. Tyrion said without hesitation, "Ugh...... The first time I found out - the money seems to be not enough. ”

"The signboard is still two days away, but tomorrow we can go and pick up the stamp. Iger said, "Get your first loan as soon as possible." ”

"That's the only way, pit your own people...... Well, I'm thinking about where to start. ”

The two went upstairs as they spoke. Everyone had a busy day, and after dinner together, they went back to their rooms to rest.

＊＊＊

Tyrion may be really resting, but Iger is not so comfortable, for the little devil, all this may just be a fun game, if the wealth of the previous generation is the capital of trial and error of the next generation, then standing behind the Lannisters is one of the most qualified adventure people in the world.

But he can't, his parents are not even in this world, this scam is related to his survival in this world...... He had to give it his all. Anyone who might endanger his own interests is an enemy.

Pacing around the room, he racked his brains for ways to prevent Littlefinger from gaining Eddard Stark's trust.

Hour after hour passed, one plan after another was abandoned, if it was a simple sow of discord, then anyone would, but this time his opponent was the top player of Game of Thrones. Either just kill him, or don't let him find out he's against him - or the slightest mistake will cost him his life. After thinking about it, Egger finally had to admit that fighting with people was not as fun as Grandpa Mao said.

The most direct way to use violence is to inform Eddard Stark of Littlefinger's murder of Jon Arryn, but this is a little different from the last time Joffrey was framed - Petyr instructed Lysa Tully to poison her husband, Duke Arryn, while she was at the Wall, and the truth was known only to both the participants and the instigators. It is impossible for me to "hear" the news from somewhere...... Moreover, the trick of whistleblowing cannot be used again and again: what will Ed think about a night watchman who doesn't do his job and hears all kinds of top-secret information with his ears pricked up all day long?

I want to play as an upright and loyal night watch soldier, and I don't want to play the eight-clawed spider.

So, maybe it's time to use the solution that was finally abandoned during the last Winterfell incident, the anonymous report letter?

But how can the anonymous report letter get into Ed's hands...... In King's Landing, where eyeliner is everywhere, a single mistake can be fatal, and Littlefinger may not have henchmen and friends, but at least he has money and access...... And for the time being, he still has nothing, if exposed, a glass of poisoned wine, a dagger, or a cold arrow can completely erase his existence.

Passing the message through Arya is also not safe, a ten-year-old girl, without scheming, she may not take the initiative to betray the "master", but in front of her dearest father, an unintentional word will expose herself.

It's quiet outside the window, there is no curfew in King's Landing, but there is generally no talk of a night market in this day and age unless there are major festivals. Egg let out a long sigh and put out the candle and lay down on the bed, hoping to think of a solution the moment he woke up tomorrow, as he had done last time in Winterfell.

Maybe I've been thinking about a way to deal with Littlefinger, and after closing my eyes, the other party's motto fluttered in my ears.

Chaos is the ladder.

......

Chaos is a ladder, this sentence actually has some truth, in a world like ice and fire where the class is solidified to almost condensation, the people below want to get to the top, the best way is to create chaos, chaos will damage the interests of people at the top of society, and if someone is damaged, someone will inevitably benefit.

The problem is that in the midst of chaos, the people who benefit should be quite random, even much unexpected. Littlefinger's ability lies in the fact that he can accurately reach the places where the big nobles are "wounded and bleeding" by dialing thousands of pounds in four or two, catch the "blood" they shed out, and become the biggest beneficiary of the chaos. At this point, he even threw Varys, a player of the same level and a good long-term layout, a few streets away. Also using the stock market analogy, Varys and Littlefinger bought the same stock with a rising trend, the former made a profit by holding it for a long time, and the latter was able to sell high and buy low through micro-manipulation, so that his benefits far exceeded the overall rise of the stock.

This talent made Iger breathtaking, and admired it from the bottom of his heart.

But Petyr is by no means without flaws, and he vividly shows the limits of what a thorough realist can do in the original plot, using the power of court politics to play with almost everyone. The problem is that he doesn't show any political ideals other than his ambitions for power, even if it is in the early stages, and until the end of the game, he doesn't even "make up" an idea to attract followers or solidify the power he already holds. Before the uprising, reckless men like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang knew how to shout "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", you have nothing, why do you sit on the Iron Throne?

Littlefinger is very strong, good at strategy and has no moral limits, and it is indeed easier for players to rise from troubled times to become winners. But that's all, he is the most powerful saboteur, but he will never be the ultimate winner - his best destination is to help a certain force rise up to dominate the world and then eat meat with him, but he wants to sit on the throne, this impossible goal, and finally buried his life: Littlefinger's entire power is himself, just someone, even if he reaches the peak of his life, no one will shed tears for him, let alone revenge.

If Iger just wants to see what happens to him, he just has to do nothing and wait quietly, and Littlefinger will eventually play himself to death. Without Arya, there would have been Arya and Bilia who would eventually jump out and kill him. But the trouble is that what I want to do now is to defeat Littlefinger on the battlefield where he is most comfortable, which is a bit difficult.

......

Chaos is the ladder.

Chaos is the ladder.

If Littlefinger wants to cause chaos, then he has to keep the situation stable. Iger silently recited the motto of his imaginary opponent in his mind, ready to fall asleep.

But a voice suddenly came out of the subconscious: Why? Why must we create stability in the fight against chaos, and if we do the opposite, create chaos together, and make the chaos in King's Landing worsen beyond the limits of what can be controlled, what will happen if we fight poison with poison? The biggest advantage I have is to know the inside story, and give up this point and think about running to play tricks with Little Finger, which is only done by people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. If the enemy wants to muddy the waters, then why can't you meddle in and stir the water so that no one can see clearly, see how you can benefit!

Egger was shocked by this bold idea, and for a moment even wondered if it was the idea that the Green Prophet or some god like that had been put into his mind, but after careful consideration, he found that this trick worked! No matter how fierce the Game of Thrones went on and how fierce the undercurrent surged, as long as the market and people's livelihood were not affected, his deception could continue!

Stir up the muddy waters and make the situation so complicated and chaotic that it will be difficult for any player of the Game of Thrones to profit from it, and then he and Tyrion, who "stay out of the matter" and play the game of money seriously and dutifully, will be the biggest winners!

A lot of things can cause confusion, but what is the lowest cost?

Rumor.
