Despite Egger's offer to give her a day or two off, Nina insisted on going to the office with him. Her movements and demeanor were a little uncomfortable and awkward, but the kind of dazzling brilliance that was moisturized and glowing, and the satisfaction and happiness of being spoiled by her lover, could not be concealed...... For a long time, she would sit there and smile inexplicably, and the employees of the office who didn't know the truth looked at her and thought that she was stimulated by something to make her nervous.

Fortunately, she did not delay the heavy responsibility that should be shared for Egger. After meeting and establishing a relationship with each other completely and honestly, Nina seems to have been dispelled the bad buff of "suppressed by Egger's IQ", and her efficiency has increased a lot.

......

Without Arya, a super-quality source of first-hand information, Egger's knowledge of the current situation can only be gleaned from rumors and the girls of the "Night Watch Brothel". For the time being, the only important news that can be heard seems to be "the Western Frontier sent troops to attack the Riverlands". If the news is true, Tywin should have decided to fight Robert.

The situation is changing rapidly, the same Iron Throne leads six countries to fight one country, but this battle is completely different from the counterinsurgency in the valley, the valley is already in the middle of the strength, and the Alliance of the Righteous is only composed of a few nobles, while the West is strong and the Lannisters are dominant...... Without the level of natural danger of the Bright Moon Mountain Range, this is destined to be a bloody war.

The rumors had been brewing to this day, and the situation was completely beyond the level of his interference as a Night's Watch chief logistics officer...... If the royal scandal that rashly intervened in Littlefinger before was only likely to get him into trouble, then in this carnival of the siege of the Westside in all Westeros, a little Egger West really couldn't make any waves.

Salty eating radish and worrying about it, and then almost capsizing in the gutter...... Iger was not going to do it a second time, and he decisively decided not to intervene in the war, but to take care of himself. If the West is defeated, it's a big deal to go there and try to get Tyrion dressed in black to save his life.

The Night's Watch industry has a lot of things to deal with of itself. First and foremost were bonds: as the war brewed, a new round of redemptions began. Fortunately, with the accumulated reputation of withstanding the test of the previous war, coupled with the cash injection obtained from the previous sale of patents, Iger easily withstood this round of tests, but the capital chain has shrunk significantly...... But to his surprise, this loss of cash flow was quickly partially made up for from a completely unexpected place: the "Night Watch Donation Box", which he had no hope and was just a formality, could be stuffed every day these days, and his daily income was as high as dozens of gold dragons.

At first, Iger thought that it was due to the higher levels of social responsibility and wealth of the residents of King's Landing, but after Nina paid a little attention, she reported a ridiculous result: less than 10% of the donations were made by normal residents, and the rest came from the garrison soldiers.

To be precise, it was the half of the garrison soldiers who were "recruited in King's Landing, without any background".

......

"The soldiers of the garrison who donated money are also divided into two categories, one is those who were previously oppressed and exploited by Slint. After the fall of that guy and his head, they were no longer deducted from military salaries, and their income doubled, and they were very grateful to you, so they consciously ran to donate, often for ten days and half a month's salary...... Some even ask the staff at the bottom of the donation box to convey their gratitude and respect to you. Nina said as she stared at Egg with her big eyes, as if she was conveying admiration for those golden robes. After piercing the layer of window paper, she finally stopped dodging the man's gaze at her: "And the other type is the Dongying soldiers who were originally subordinate to Slint, their former boss was brought down, and everyone, especially the officers, was panicked all day long for fear of being liquidated. You asked me to tell me that 'cooperating with the Prime Minister's investigation of Slint is their only way out', and these people flew like a life-saving straw. ”

"Then, as it happened, on the day you were released and participated in the trial, an amnesty decree came...... Regardless of what it actually is, they think it's for you to let them go. She paused, and seemed to be amused: "And the Prime Minister caught you and let you go...... In the eyes of some people, it has become a desire to cover up, and the more it is described, the darker it becomes, but it is confirmed that the prime minister is our backer. The money is more like a protection fee and a welcome gift than a donation - they have always wanted to see you, probably to recognize you as the new boss, so that they can have peace of mind. ”

"Think of me as the new boss? Egger chuckled, Slint's death sentence was not rejected in the end, and Ed did not send anyone to communicate with him about his refusal to join, now that he thought about it, the King's hand was probably busy to death at the moment, how could he have time to care about the life and death of a Slint? Since he ordered a pardon, it must be true, no joke.

But the officers of the garrison didn't know Duke Stark as well as Egger, and they had a hard time these days—I don't know if the amnesty was true or just a delaying ploy to appease them, and the extent to which the thieves could think crankily when they were frightened out of bounds, and ordinary people who had never done anything bad couldn't understand it: "What advice do you have?"

"I think you can pick a time to meet and take these people for your own use...... The business of the night watchman industry in the city will become bigger and bigger, and it will be much more convenient if there is the 'cooperation' of the garrison. ”

......

Nina's suggestion woke Egger up, and his eyes lit up.

In this era of ignorance, there are not so many management departments in the city, take King's Landing as an example, the garrison is not only the city defense force, but also performs the duty of maintaining law and order...... Even when the tax collector goes to collect taxes, he often brings a few or a small team with him as escorts and bodyguards. Now, the golden robe of King's Landing under the control of the princes is destined to be an ally of the industry, and if he can exert influence and even control over the remaining half, it is almost unimaginable how convenient it is for a businessman in the modern world to speak in many grassroots government departments.

Not to mention, the Aral Diem, who was originally a close confidant of Slint, but finally stood up in court to testify against the original boss, seems to have an underworld background according to the investigation - at least half of the ruffians in King's Landing listen to him, and what they can and can't do depends on his face. The aristocracy of this world is high above and tends to ignore the existence of the common people at the bottom and the idle people in society, but Egger is a man of modern origin, and he is well aware of the importance of having a good grasp of public opinion and having some capable "dirty work" subordinates...... The Night's Watch industry has already established a relationship of interest with a large number of royal families, if he can still subdue Al Dim and some of the garrison and the underworld, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings, and he will really become the godfather of King's Landing?

＊＊＊

Rumor has it that he has a rather polarizing reputation as the Night's Watch chief logistics officer: in the eyes of the common people who don't know anything inside, he is an adventurer who has crossed the sea from across the Sunset Sea, a high-ranking officer of the Night's Watch Legion, a stranger killer, a jealous warrior who dares to confront the notorious former garrison commander when he arrives at King's Landing, and in the eyes of the employees and soldiers of the Night's Watch industry, he is omnipotent and has eyes and hands In the eyes of those who know a little bit of the inside story, and even those who are affected by the business and political activities of the night watchman's industry, he is also a business wizard who is rare in a century, a master of amazing martial arts, a god of wealth with three heads and six arms, an emerging boss with superb means and a strong background, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings and will be rewarded!

or mythologize or demonize...... Under the effect of passing from person to person and becoming more and more mysterious, Egger has simply become the best non-aristocratic social person in the Seven Kingdoms, and it is no wonder that the golden robes in Dongying, who have lost their protective umbrella, want to run under him.

Faced with the initiative to surrender, Egger was a little hesitant. He knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, not only was he not as powerful as others imagined, but this time he even saw this kind of power struggle for the first time, and he barely won a game with his teammates by virtue of "stability...... But when you think about it, who is born with everything? There are many legendary organizations and powerful people in this world, such as Iron Vault, such as the Faceless One, such as Tywin Lannister, and how many of them can truly live up to their name, as strong or talented as the legend?

I'm afraid there is none, but the winner is king.

The power is in the hearts of the people, and if you believe, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't have it. Using the right bluff will not only boost your morale, but also terrify your enemies and make the wallgrass submit...... As long as you play a good role and continue to take the initiative to improve your real strength under the mask, what if you play an extra role?

I don't know how to be the boss, learn from it! Only by pushing myself can people know how great their potential is!

Thinking it all through, Iger quickly made a decision. Slint left himself a big "legacy", and after this village there was no longer this shop, and the departure of Tyrion, a god's teammate, created a huge management and operational vacuum, part of which Nina could make up for with her hard work, and another part ...... If you, the boss who has already followed the god costume, don't you want to jump out of the second Tyrion to help?

＊＊＊

"Our daily necessities and obsidian are about to hit the market," Iger said, "Today or tomorrow, arrange a meeting between me and Aral Diem, whether you can accept it or not, you can't be an enemy anymore, it's important to make money, you don't have time to fight people all day." Also, if you comb through the list of things Tyrion left behind, these days, I'm going to be visiting in person to meet with the investors and supporters behind us. ”

As the owner of the Night's Watch industry, if you don't even know how many resources you have in your hands, then where else can you talk about?

Things went much smoother than expected, and Nina had just sent the news that Iger intended to meet with him to Dongying, with the intention of making an appointment to have a meal together and get to know each other...... Who would have thought that Aral Diem, the dignified Dongying detachment leader who managed two hundred golden robes, would run across the street and into the office without saying a word. Egger was thinking about how to bluff him, who thought that this guy would be an adult in his words and respectful in his deeds...... When he came up, he directly looked like a mouse seeing a cat and a little brother worshipping his eldest brother, and even skipped the process of subduing, and directly asked Egger "What are your orders".

Egger was really stunned for a few seconds, and it took a lot of effort to swallow his expression into his stomach - deterrence is really the most powerful weapon...... God knows what kind of image he is in the eyes of these people?

After "instructing" Aral Tim to stop bringing his brothers to donate money and ask him to facilitate the upcoming expansion of the Night's Watch industry, the captain of the Dongying garrison left. The world is wonderful - obviously he is helping Iger work for free or even backwards, but with the kind of happiness or sense of security that arises in his heart that "he is still useful to the big guys, as long as he behaves well, he will be fine...... A middle- and high-ranking officer of the garrison, after "meeting" Egger, actually said goodbye with gratitude and joy on his face.

(This is also a real villain.) Looking at the back of Arir leaving, Egger's understanding of the phrase "power is in the heart" has reached a higher level, and he secretly reminds himself that he can only use and cannot trust such goods. Although things are going well, he is not complacent, the deterrent power he has comes from a series of coincidences, this kind of "strong" is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you want to maintain it, it is not enough to have acting skills, you have to keep getting stronger.

......

After a few days of hospitality from the brothers' estate, the Wraith escort team returned to the Great Wall with a pile of souvenirs and hardships, leaving only one person, Alyssa Thorne, who was in charge.

Realizing that he could not bypass Egger to get involved in the Night's Watch business, the old hedgehog finally took the initiative to give Iger Commander Mormont's certificate and asked him to assign him a position in the logistics department.

Iger arranged.

The king's army was gathering on both sides of the Golden Highway west of King's Landing, and although Robert was wounded and unable to drive the expedition himself, he had brought Egger with him last time, and this time he had sent someone to ask for some "Night's Watch", and Tyrion was not there, and the estate could no longer be without its own manager, so Alyssa Thorne received this honor.

The old hedgehog was of course dissatisfied with Egger's move to drive him away, but he was not as strong as others and was pressed by the rank, and after a few words of protest, he was forced to accept the arrangement. When Egg didn't plan to tear his face with "his own people" too early, he not only gave Elisha enough living expenses on this trip, but also arranged two retinues for him - called followers, but in fact, he was watching the old guy's every word and deed and every move for himself.

Alyssa is a nuisance, but not downright evil...... This was the consensus of many of the Night's Watch, and that being said, Egg would never give anyone another chance to him.

......

The Night's Watch industry swayed from side to side in the waves that shook the Six Nations, relying on its sheer size and the correct judgment of the helmsman to stabilize the hull of the ship. After a lot of turmoil, he finally waited for some good news: Eddard Stark sent someone to transport the ghoul to the office and ordered the night watchman to dispose of it himself.

The king's wounds healed slowly, and the archbishop claimed that it was because of the evil spirit in the Red Keep, and after deliberation, it was finally decided to get the ghouls, the most obvious "unclean thing", out of the Red Keep.
