The half-bad news in the reply was that Mormont, while agreeing to his idea of recruiting temporary defenders for the Wall, did not fully accept his plan with a few hidden calculations. The leader of the Night's Watch made some restrictive demands on Egger's proposal: the people he had sought to help temporarily and who would leave the Wall in a few years and return to normal life could not be called Night's Watch if they did not swear. Not only that, but they can't be trained intensively at Castle Black like regular recruits - they must arrive at the Wall as mercenaries rather than members of the Legion and start assisting in the defense.

To sum it up: Egger's recruits are not allowed to blend indiscriminately into the Night's Watch, and they must be able to participate in various military missions as soon as they arrive at the Wall.

Under these two restrictions, either Iger really found mercenaries, or he had to train himself.

The former scheme is good, in this era, mercenaries, as professional soldiers, are obviously guaranteed in combat effectiveness...... However, while this kind of thing is useful, it can only be played with if the Lannisters are well-funded, or if the benefits obtained after defeating the enemy are enough to pay the rewards and pensions. The Agra people went to the Great Wall to deal with the freedmen and the strangers outside the Cypriots, and these two kinds of people belonged to the kind of troublesome enemies who "will die without a place to bury if they lose, and they will not be able to get any oil and water if they win". Defeating the wildlings can at least pick up some spoils, and killing the strangers will not even make a single scum - since there is no way to raise the war by fighting, then these mercenaries who are all the same human spirits are not easy to fool, they will definitely ask for a high commission in advance.

A few thousand gold dragons are more than enough money to start a business, but if you smash into the pit of mercenaries, I am afraid that you will not even be able to make a splash.

Iger can't afford this luxury for the time being, so he can only choose the latter plan and train by himself.

Tsk, that's troublesome. Egg frowned: did Mormont see through his plan to slowly degenerate the Night's Watch in order to gain influence, or did he simply think about maintaining the "purity" of the Night's Watch's own thoughts...... Or is it not so complicated, and he just wants to continue to squeeze the subjective initiative of himself, a person who is "happy" in King's Landing, by adding another task?

The answer doesn't matter, it's how you respond. Iger didn't panic, he had thought about the situation before—with the Night's Watch treating "their own people" and "foreign helpers" separately, his plan to gain overall influence and voice would be difficult. However, on the other hand, training recruits in King's Landing allows for greater direct control and stronger relationships over the "foreign aides" they hire, and in the latter case, although it costs more and requires more energy, it is not clear which is better or worse.

There was also a small note attached to the back of the letter, he pulled it up and handed it to Arya—it was Jon's greeting to her, and the girl almost screamed with joy when she saw the words on it, completely oblivious to Egg's expression of shaking her head and sighing: to stay in that ghost place in Castle Black, but to write to tell his dear little sister that "I have a good and fulfilling life", it is miserable to think about.

Taking Nina into the inner room, Egger, who had been prepared for a long time, with Tyrion's cooperation, quickly signed the world's first "Night's Watch Asset Investment Bond". After handing it to Nina, giving her some encouragement and praise, and telling her that if she is in trouble, she can come here to find herself, and the papermaking business is over.

According to the routine, it is time for Arya to return to the Red Keep, Tyrion to the inn, and then send Nina home herself. There are send-offs and returns, after getting acquainted with each other, they can get the girl done quickly, but after thinking about it, Egger finally called someone else to do it for him: "Ah Kun, help me send Miss Nina home, and go back to the hotel to rest after finishing this, I'll close the door here!"

......

Now I have too many things to do, and at this time, I am still a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, whether it is for herself or Nina, it is irresponsible.

Controlling the hanging is especially important in the world of the Song of Killing and Killing.

Gathering his mind and suppressing the male hormones that were about to move, Iger had two more things to consider: first, to train in King's Landing, and second, to think about how to find another way to improve the influence and voice of his perennial "chief logistics officer" among the night watchmen when his "foreign aid" was excluded and he might be deprived of the right to vote and participate in decision-making.

After all, King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and training here is as sensitive as wanting to open a "Blackwater" security company next door to Zhongnanhai before crossing, and it may face a lot of troubles, even with the nod of Prime Minister Ed, it may not be able to go smoothly, and he needs a name.

......

The first thing Iger quickly thought of was a solution: since he was going to open a factory, he would inevitably need employees, and some of them would naturally be responsible for guarding and guarding. First recruit people in the name of the factory's need to guard the security, train them uniformly, and when necessary, use double the salary as bait, and select those who are brave and able to endure hardships to go north to the desperate Great Wall.

The second question...... After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly found himself in the trap of habitual thinking: "deception" and "intrigue" were so useful that he was now almost subconsciously thinking about it after eating the sweetness a few times. But in this case, the situation is different:

He is the brother of the night watchman who has sworn an oath, and now he is officially recognized as the chief logistics officer of the legion, although he is almost the commander of the light pole for the time being, and the only two subordinates are still mixed with a ghost who doesn't know what he wants to do, but he has the two identities of "oath brother" and "night watchman officer", and he naturally has the right to speak and influence in the organization he belongs to, which is real, and there is no right to do it at all!

There is no doubt that for the time being, his so-called voice and influence are almost nothing, but as long as he plays the role of a logistics officer, so that all the night watchmen can be fed and clothed, and there is no need to worry about the lack of armament at all times when they start a war, and then use a little brains to let the brothers in black know that these are the fruits of their efforts, and don't be robbed of the credit by other night watch leaders......

Under the visible and tangible changes, the status of the "faithful" self performing his duties in the hearts of the night watchmen will naturally rise slowly.

A problem that can be solved with money is not called a problem.

Finally able to rest his mind, Egger sighed relaxedly, the next thing was to select a site for the factory, and began to prepare for the establishment of the "Night Watch Logistics and Security Department".
