"More than 100,000 savages outside the fortress are trying to cross the Great Wall to escape the prophesied winter, and the Night's Watch legions are too weak to resist, and it is inevitable to make changes, and to remain unchanged means to perish. Egger was careful not to mention the stranger, and talking about this kind of thing would only detract from his impression of others until he had proven it: "However, the reason why I came out to organize this is that in addition to the righteous action of Master Tyrion Lannister, the more important reason is that I 'did not offend anyone'." ”

＊＊＊

To put it literally, in fact, a certain dwarf has already summed it up in a sentence that is not rough: "The price is not too expensive."

Tyrion was able to successfully take Egger away from the Wall, in addition to the promised funding and a lot of, the most fundamental reason was that Egger was just an inconsequential person at the time, no one was his backstage, and no one was his enemy, and no one would keep an eye on him and run to question Mormont or find Robert to complain when he broke the rules.

But if it is the original heir of an earl family, because he was on the wrong side in the war of the retainers - he was forced to put on a black coat because he offended the new king, and in this case he wants to leave...... It is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible for Robert not to die, and even if he does, it will be difficult. It is the unwritten rule of Westeros that those who are on the wrong side of the line must either defect or self-exile if they want to survive. The king stands at the top of the pyramid of domination, and as the biggest beneficiary of the aristocratic game, as long as he is not a political-political idiot like Joffrey, it is impossible for him to take the lead in breaking the rules and digging his own grave for a small profit.

If you want to imitate Egger's way and leave the Great Wall, you must first come up with a high price that will make the king very excited, and then you have to block the mouth of the world.

Antlers Fort has a solid family background, and tens of thousands of golden dragons may really be able to get it, but for a warrior king who has been a shopkeeper all year round and does not know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt...... This amount of money is not even a fraction of the loan he owes to his father-in-law, Tywin and Iron Vault, will Robert be eye-catching?

It's true that the Night's Watch could theoretically ignore the king's thoughts, but in reality, how many people in Westeros, with all the seas subservient, really didn'......t care about the supreme ruler's feelings? When these people appear, they are dragged one by one, as if they all have their own background sound and the spirit of the king, but as long as King Robert, who founded the Baratheon dynasty, does not die, and the four major alliances of deer, wolf, and osprey do not disperse, what heroes and heroes who are lying on the salary and brave and heroines who do not let the women have eyebrows, they all have to hide in their own castles and obediently hold their tails!

Even regardless of the attitude of those outside the Night's Watch, there is a more realistic obstacle: how much did it take for Tyrion to convince the Night's Watch higher-ups to let Iger out? When he was just an "ordinary person", it was so difficult to make an exception for the Legion's higher-ups, let alone a "political-legal-criminal" like Sir Bookwell and the backbone of the Night's Watch Rangers?

Once this is the case, the Night's Watch will be disheartened in an instant: those with backgrounds will desperately find connections to drill out, and those who have nothing can only watch others jump up and down with itchy teeth, jealousy, and murderous intentions...... And once this trend begins to appear, whether it is the ruler or the high-level of the Night's Watch, for the safety of themselves, the North and the Seven Kingdoms, they will definitely prevent this phenomenon from worsening in a one-size-fits-all way, and when the time comes, even his own honest chief logistics officer will have to return to the Great Wall.

It's not easy.

＊＊＊

"Understood. The old earl understood Egger's subtext, nodded, it was a blessing that he didn't lose his head in the wrong line in the war of the retains, and it was indeed a bit difficult to leave the Night's Watch again, but he still didn't give up: "But I have an idea—since you are the chief logistics officer, if you can manage to interfere with the transfer of personnel, transfer Jarman to your command as a logistics officer, and then order him to work in the royal domain, and assign him the task of 'collecting food and grass and armaments in Antlers', wouldn't everyone be happy." ”

The idea was perfectly feasible, but Iger wouldn't tell him that his appointment as chief logistics officer was a complete half-trick. When ordinary people hear their name, they will subconsciously think that they are the "fifth in command" of the Blackshirts after the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, the chief ranger, the clerk and the craftsman......

But in fact, not to mention compared with other "chiefs", even a random Ranger captain has a higher voice than Iger for the time being, and he can guarantee that he will not be recalled, thank God, how can he dare to take advantage of others?

"My lord, I won't hide it from you. Iger wasn't going to lie about it, but it was okay to embellish his words a little: "The logistics department has just been established, and its power is not as good as those old departments for the time being...... Of course, this is the status quo, after all, I have only been in office for two months. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "Wait until I develop the night watch industry, establish a network of contacts in the DPRK and China, monopolize the bulk of the night watchman's logistics supply, and then fill the desperate Great Wall with the fighters I trained...... " Iger first described the bright prospects for everything to go well, and finally said: "Influence and authority, these things, will not come out of thin air, but to be fought for, my lord, you have been in charge for decades, you must understand this truth." ”

"I understand. Earl Buckwell nodded, and the guy in black in front of him was about to make his own statement. "What you do in King's Landing, I will try to support and invest in it...... After this battle, if Fort Antlers does not empty its family, it will still be carried out as promised. It's easy to say that I make less or even no money, but Jarman's matter, please take the chief logistics officer to heart. ”

"You are gracious, and the Night's Watch will remember your kindness in this most critical moment for the defense of the Great Wall. ”

......

Talking to smart people is labor-saving, and in a few words, two people or two small forces who had nothing to do with each other discovered their common interests and even made an appointment for preliminary cooperation.

Egger was slightly ashamed, he actually couldn't get people for the old earl at all, but in order to win this investment, he still deliberately gave the other party the impression that "he can actually do it, but it's not easy to do". This is the so-called butt decides the head, after starting this financial game, he has gradually changed from an upright engineer to a slick businessman - he does not forget to sell his financial products, and he will try to lead the topic to money, investment, or something when he talks about anything......

Once upon a time, he was an honest person who didn't lie to anyone except his parents and girlfriend, but now, he can do it while blowing nonsense without blushing and not beating his heart.

It's not a pleasant thing to be what you don't like, but fortunately, you don't intend to cheat investors out of their principal. In this cruel world, I can't be a rootless and sourceless outsider. Littlefinger, as one of the villains of the original book, was easily knocked down by a rumor under his own troubles, but this is because people are terrible and not because the other party has made any mistakes - in any case, this guy's ability to "manage to profit from it no matter what accidents happen" is still worth learning from himself.

Successfully securing his first investment by flickering, Iger thought to himself as he walked: what would Littlefinger do if he was in his place, and was dragged into the army by Robert Baratheon on a temporary idea at the critical moment of entrepreneurship, wasting countless hours?

Yes, this time the six countries work together to quell the rebellion, for Robert may just be a show of dominance and show of muscles, and by the way, re-experience the feeling of war, but for himself, the "night watchman of the army", most of the nobles in the country will respond to the king's call to join the coalition in this war, isn't this just an opportunity to meet a large number of resource holders without running around and relying on relationships?

There is no time to lose. Although Tyrion persuaded himself to enjoy the trip to the Vale, as a man with a strong sense of responsibility and responsibility, Egg could not accept that his partner was busy in King's Landing, while he wandered around the valley to see the scenery.

Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get all the wasted time of this trip back from your connections!
