It's easy to get out of the city and hard to get into the city, so after sending a message to Tyrion and tricking a small team of golden robes who came to arrest people, Egg returns to the king only to find that the gate is closed...... No, I turned around and went back to the Night Watch Industrial Park, had a lunch with the grassroots management in the staff canteen very "approachable", and stayed for another afternoon, until before sunset, until the king's door was half opened—allowed to enter but not to leave.

It was nearly dark when he returned to the Night's Watch office, and the events of that day and night were more exciting than the previous months combined, and Egg, who had barely closed his eyes, felt exhausted, but there was still a lot of work to do for him.

The office was crowded with people, and when I walked in, I saw that in addition to the night watchmen, there were a bunch of unrelated people...... Domi was sitting in the lobby receptionist's seat, spitting the story of him and the East China Sea Rangers going north to fight the strange ghosts, inside and outside the house, crowded with people who were listening intently to his story, even the office employees who were supposed to be doing their jobs listened with relish.

The Night's Watch had been discriminated against for too long, and he couldn't help but want to show off, and Egg could understand the feeling, but it would be too much to make the Night's Watch office like a storyteller. It's just that these are their own "oath brothers", and it is not easy to dismantle the stage in front of outsiders.

Egger squeezed into the crowd, glanced at Domi in disapproval, and pushed the door into the inner room under the gaze of everyone.

Nina was sitting behind the table, talking to Sir Elisha, who was sitting in the guest seat, when she saw him enter the door and stood up: "My lord." ”

Egger stood at the door, looked at Ser Elisha, and suddenly realized that the man in black in front of him was the second real night watchman to step into the office besides himself: "Well, are the summer clothes ready, send them to the brothers, and let Ah Kun take them to the inn to settle down, close the door and go back to rest." ”

The large residence in King's Landing is enough to accommodate the ghoul escort team, Nina blinked, seemed to understand something, did not say the doubt in her heart, and stood up to carry out Egger's instructions: "Sir Elisha, please come with me, Ah Kun will show you a place to live." ”

Alyssa glanced thoughtfully at Egg, got up, and followed Nina and Jaqun out of the office.

After dismissing the residents of King's Landing who had come to listen to the story, handing out a dozen summer clothes to the night watchmen of the ghoul escort and sending Jaquin to take them away, Nina returned to the inner room.

Egg sat back in his boss chair and leaned back into the cushion, "What did Sir Elisha talk to you about?"

He asked about the operation of the Night's Watch industry, as well as its income...... By the way, I also asked Slint for details of his opposition to us. ”

"Nina, I won't explain the exact reason, but you should remember that the 'Night's Watch Property' is the property of the Night's Watch Logistics Department, and my Chief Logistics Officer is a Light Commander - there are no other members of the Night's Watch Logistics Department other than me. I ask you to report to me alone, to take orders from me alone, and to be responsible for me alone. The other night watchmen from the Great Wall are just guests of the night watchman's property, and they are entertained with good food and drink, but don't let them meddle in the industry, even if it's just a little bit, understand?"

......

Nina had already noticed it when Iger asked Jaqun to "take the night watchmen to the inn", and his words confirmed this suspicion at this moment, and she nodded: "Understood, if Sir Alyssa asks me about this in the future, I will say that I don't know, and it is all on you?"

"Well, that's fine. ”

Iger didn't know or wonder what Mormont had told him before sending Elisa to the King's Arrival, he only knew that he could not harm others, and he could not have the heart to defend others...... As a loner, the Night's Watch property is the only backing for his voice and influence, and he doesn't want to be a wedding dress for others. In case he was confronted with the killing of the donkey, he would never let any of the other Night's Watch interfere even in the slightest bit, even if Mormont himself came.

Glancing at Nina, Egg nodded in satisfaction after making sure she understood her subtext. Nina's intelligence is as restrained as her beauty, and the more she gets along, the more it shows, and Tyrion really sees someone right.

"There were no more accidents in the office today, right?"

"Hmm...... The four members of the security team, who had been left in the flea nest last night, did not engage the enemy and kept blocking people on that street until dawn when they were taken away by the garrison. But in the morning the two officers of the eastern battalion of the garrison personally sent people back, as if they wanted to talk to you, but at that time you and Sir Alyssa had entered the Red Fort. ”

So much had happened that Iger had almost forgotten about the four of them, and he suddenly felt guilty: "The four brothers didn't get hurt or suffer anything, did they?"

"They were very smart, they completed the task, and when they saw that it was the soldiers of the garrison, they did not resist, except for a few punches when they were caught, it was nothing, I gave them a holiday, let them go home and rest first. ”

"Good. "The officers who sent them back must be Slint's subordinates, and Slint, who has no aristocratic background and no backing except for Robert behind him, actually has many similarities with Egger, the biggest of which is that as the leader of a force, if something happens to one person, the whole force will collapse in an instant, and the party will be scattered. When Slint's subordinates saw the boss being arrested, they probably panicked all day and began to look for a way out. "If you come to me again, tell them that 'cooperating' with the Prime Minister's investigation of Slint is their only way out, and the Night's Watch industry has no intention or ability to do anything to them. ”

"Understood. Nina nodded, "Also, this morning Ser Alyssa sent the ghouls into King's Landing, and showed them to many of the people who entered the city at the Riverside Gate...... Now there is talk everywhere in the city, and many people come to the office to inquire and ask to see it with their own eyes...... Others made donations on the spot after talking to the night watchmen who had come to King's Landing. Today, the office has received a total of 1 gold dragon, 46 silver deer, 185 bronze cents, how should this be handled?"

Somebody donates? That's a good thing...... From the day it was founded, the office had a notice calling for people to support the defenders of the Wall, but it was not enough to feed an army with a spontaneous donation from the residents, and Iger had never counted on this...... In fact, it is true that the Office has never received a donation of half a copper plate.

"Let's get a box, if someone comes to donate it, put it inside, and don't force it. "The night watchman industry is tens of hundreds of gold dragons in and out of the account every day, to be honest, I really don't look down on that donation, but it is better than nothing to have money. "Open a new ledger and record it every day, I'll leave this to you, work hard. ”

"Where...... You're welcome. Nina is good at everything, but she just can't help Igqua, and she suddenly became shy again.

Egg smiled and pulled out the piece of paper that Tyrion had been writing before he fled, which contained Tyrion's short- and medium-term plans for the industry, but Iger knew that much of it had to be scrapped - Tyrion hadn't counted Jaime's attack on Robert when he wrote it.

＊＊＊

The Night's Watch industry has no power in the Red Keep, and Iger doesn't know what the situation is in the Fort Abroad, but all he knows for sure is that King's Landing is not sounding the death knell today.

Will the king be safe and sound, or will the news of his death be suppressed by Ed so that he can make time for all kinds of follow-up arrangements?

If Robert hadn't died, war would have followed, and if Robert had died, Ed would have informed Stannis to come and succeed him...... Iger doesn't know this second child of the Deer family thoroughly, will he avenge his brother and start a war against the Lannisters? And the third child of the Deer family, Lan Li, if Ed is not dead, will he be content with the status of Duke of Stormlands?

There are too many unknowns, and as a night watchman, he is not qualified to bet and stand in line in Game of Thrones. All Iger can do now is to take all the avoidance measures he can think of immediately to ensure that the damage to the Night's Watch industry is minimized in whatever direction the situation goes.

"There are still some arrangements, I will list them now, and you can start working on them tomorrow, as soon as possible. "First, the third paper mill project under construction will be discontinued, and the workers who have been trained will be assigned to the best points, and they will be sent to Riverbend and Dorn as soon as possible to fulfill the contract we have signed, and the rest will be left for other positions." As promised, your brother is going to Riverbend, and Miss Tyrell doesn't get our hands on it. ”

But it is estimated that a third paper mill must be built, otherwise paper production will soon be unable to keep up with printing, let alone meet orders. ”

"Trust my judgment, on the order, push off the low profit!"

"Yes, Your Excellency...... However, the third factory has already been built, is it empty over there? ”

"What about the new items I asked you to arrange, solid detergents and cosmetics...... The production of soap and lipstick, is it planned? ”

"The soap is ready, but the lipstick ...... Blair's recipe uses some plants and bugs, which need to be planted and raised, mass-produced, and cannot be started for at least a few months. ”

"Then start with small-scale production, sell it as a luxury item first, and after the product comes out, give a copy to each of our investors, once the wives and lovers of these big nobles start to use, it is the best publicity. "Eggs can't be put in one basket, businesses can expand and develop quickly on a single project, but because the income pillar is too single, and it quickly goes bankrupt and collapses in the face of turmoil such as war, there are so many examples in real history that Iger doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, he has to plan for the future of the Night's Watch industry early:"In addition, the obsidian mines on Dragonstone Island have expanded their workforce, dug up more obsidian, sent some of them to King's Landing, and then we hired people to carve them into various ornaments or small pendants. Let's get the word out - Obsidian is not only a nemesis for ghouls and strangers, but also for warding off evil spirits and removing the cold in the human body. ”

"Ward off evil spirits, really!" Nina blinked twice, "Also, what is the cold?"

"Fake, but the Night's Watch industry needs to be maintained!" Egg looked at Nina amusedly, no matter how smart she was, she was just a young girl in front of her, "If I could, I would try to get the ghoul back from the Prime Minister, and look for an opportunity to show the effects of obsidian on it in public." ”

True and false, false and false, true and true...... Advertisements are the same as rumors, as long as "obsidian can kill ghouls" is true, then it can ward off evil spirits, dispel cold or something, and it will naturally become true.

"I see, what a great idea, my lord!" Nina's eyes lit up, it turns out that business can still do this.

"Whether it's a good idea or not depends on time and the market. And one last thing, I'm likely to be asked by the Prime Minister or someone to investigate in the next two days, in the meantime, don't panic, the Night's Watch property will continue to operate normally, and wait for me to come back!"
