The Great Wall was thousands of miles away from King's Landing, and with such a long distance of space, Iger did not dare to command remotely at will, making the same old mistake as countless management classes had made - he decided to trust his clever girl once. After encouraging Nina's work, and making a series of explicit requests, including transporting the wildfires to the north as soon as possible, sending the rich money to Houguan Town with monthly supplies, and regularly selecting new recruits who have completed their training and are willing to go north to report, it is up to the apprentices of Tyrion to decide on the operation and micro-operation of the remaining Night's Watch property in King's Landing.

Iger had more important things to do: he had conceived a very ambitious plan for managing the wildlings who might be put into the Wall, and whoever wanted to plan could not keep up with the changes, it was the mountain clans who settled in the land grant first...... But it doesn't matter, both horizontal and vertical are human, and this scheme can also be used for clan people, even due to the intimacy between each other - the error tolerance rate is higher. You can slowly explore and master the ability to manage one side from scratch.

He's probably going to be busy for a long time to come.

With nothing at stake and no one available, he had to do everything himself: he first communicated with the chief craftsman, made an appointment with the craftsman to guide the restoration of the abandoned fortress, and asked the clerk about the Night's Watchman's own reserves of supplies - Iger did have some money, but it could not be turned into food and grass immediately, and in the initial stage of the clansmen's entry into the Wall, everything had to be supported by the storage in the Night's Watch warehouse.

Shelter is only the most basic, and in order to maintain the entire defense system of the Great Wall, it is necessary to have sufficient supplies of food and grass. The land grants are not able to grow any food crops in the dead of winter, and they do not have much production capacity, which means that there must be a complete and well-functioning supply system to continuously transfuse blood for them. And for many reasons, Egger wanted to have this lifeblood of the Night's Watch in his hands, and the explanation was that he didn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

As a result, Houguan Town has become the key again.

＊＊＊

After more than ten days, I returned to this so-called Night's Watch logistics stronghold, and this place has changed a lot from the last time, and the aboriginal ruins scattered along the shore of the Pocket Lake have all been demolished, and on the other hand, a wall made of stone obtained after the demolition of the ruins is almost completed...... In the meantime, you can also see the busy figures of the builders stationed here.

Perhaps it was the stone walls, or perhaps the soldiers Iger had left behind as a deterrent, and the wildlings had appeared in the vicinity several times, but instead of attempting to raid, they fled directly to the south.

"Well done, Yam. "Next, try to raise the wall, and it won't be long before it becomes a necessary place for supplies from the north to pass through the Great Wall, and a trading market for countless new residents of the land." ”

"New residents of the land-giving market, my lord, I don't understand this. ”

"I've pulled out the clansmen of the mountains to the west as reinforcements against the wildlings. Egger had no reservations about his own people, and informed the other party of what had happened: "I promised to feed all their clan members who went out of the mountain, but in order to prevent them from 'hiding their own food and eating the night watch', I do not plan to provide food directly, but give them money to come to the logistics department's material distribution center and decide what to buy for themselves." ”

"But what's the difference?"

"It's a big difference, if they don't have food, they can use all the money to buy food. But if they have abundant food reserves, they can choose to use the money to buy clothing, daily necessities, weapons, and other things. "This will not only prevent them from wasting food, but also reduce the pressure on our supplies...... It also brings another benefit: once the clansmen find out that the money can buy so many things, and I only give them just enough money to cover their living expenses every month, then they will try to get the money. ”

"Where do they go to get money in this deserted land...... Except to rob us?"

"There are two channels, one is to sell the mountain resources they have in their hands. Trees, animals, ores, etc., can be sold to the Night's Watch Logistics Department, which we can use for our own use, or we can use them to transport them to the south to make the difference in price and subsidize the expenses of the Night's Watch industry. Egger, as he inspected the rising town of New Houguan under the guidance of Yam, told his steward, "There is another possibility, which is my main purpose—that I will provide them with jobs. I can't ask the clansmen to do free labor for the Night's Watch as the foreign aid I have hired, but I can use their pay as a bait to induce them to work for the Night's Watch - patrolling, repairing the Wall, building roads, building, etc. Where I came from...... It's called 'cash for work'. ”

"I see. Yam's spirit perked up: "Compared to the southerners, the clansmen will be incredibly cheap labor, and the adults are good at planning!"

"In addition to this, I may also create some public opinion in the future to guide some people - such as the need for young people to have a house and a car...... Phew, there are houses and horses, and there are weapons forged from steel, so you are eligible to get married or something...... By creating a positive, rewarding and comparable environment, the new residents of the land grant are forced to work and work consciously. ”

......

What else can you do? This kind of statecraft, which can only be mastered by the rulers of the modern world, is undoubtedly an unbelievable trick for the people of this world...... Yamm thought about it for a moment and opened his mouth wide: "This ...... Can it be done?"

"I don't know if it can be done, and the cultural atmosphere is too deliberate. Wait for the water to come to fruition, and then guide according to the situation...... Naturally, there will be. Let me warn you first - just know it in your heart, don't talk nonsense. I don't want to—my friends at the Night's Watch think I'm taking advantage of them. Iger nodded: "Actually, the wildlings were my original target, and they could have become cheaper, near-free labor than the clansmen, but alas...... Don't mention this, is there anything else that needs to be reported here?"

"Oh...... Yes, Ser Rodric of Winterfell took Horwood, executed the illegitimate son of the Bolton family who murdered the Countess of Holwood, and then released the soldiers you lent him, they just arrived in Houguan yesterday as ordered, and I was about to send someone to Castle Black to ask your lordship what to do, and you have arrived. ”

"The bastard son of the Bolton family was put to death?" Iger asked, puzzled, intuition that things weren't that simple, "Are you sure, are there any captives?"

"Looks like there's a guy named Stink...... Considering that the Great Wall lacks manpower, the city lord of Winterfell sent him and some other prisoners in the castle dungeon to the team of soldiers here, I don't know the specifics, do you want to help you call the soldiers to ask?"

Egg's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely remembered some plots: "Well, by the way, bring up the person called the stinky guy too." ”

In a few moments, the dozens of soldiers that Robb had allocated to Egger and had been borrowed by Sir Rodric gathered in the new little square of Houguan Town, and at the same time brought in a slightly obese young man with thick, moist lips and long hair...... It smells of.

"This is the captive you captured when you killed Bolton's bastard?" Egger grimly looked at the stinking prisoner in front of him.

In the original plot, Rams Snow changed clothes with the stinky guy and smeared feces on his body when he was captured by Winterfell's troops, thus successfully hiding Rodric's life and surviving, and later luckily waited for Theon's surprise attack on Winterfell to release him, and committed a bunch of heinous evil deeds such as slaughtering and burning Winterfell.

There is no resemblance between people in this world and TV actors, and Iger is now wondering: Is this guy in front of him a little skin?
