198 Honest relatively
The two servants swept the hall clean of the ashes and left lightly.
Caesar's retainers were in mixed feelings for a while when they saw their former colleagues disappear completely from the world.
But at the same time, they also felt the lord's extremely oppressive authority, and once again made it clear who the owner of Eagle's Beak Island was.
Not even the gods could overshadow Caesar's brilliance in this place.
"The Gonggar incident is a lesson."
Samwell's voice echoed through the silent halls.
He sat high on the stage and said in a serious tone:
"Therefore, in order to put an end to the abuse of power by the territorial administrators, I have decided to set up a monitoring team to supervise the behavior of all retainers, including the governor of the territory, and if any violation of the law is found, it can be investigated, and the results of the investigation will be reported directly to me, and I will make the final decision."
Gavin's heart sank, and he could already imagine the weight of the power of this monitoring team. Of course, he did not dare to disagree with the lord's order, but asked carefully:
"My lord, how many people are in this monitoring team? Who should be in charge? ”
"Three members for the time being." Samwell said, "Sir Lucas Dayne, Hal Hunt, and Lady Time. The term of office is one year, and after one year, depending on your work, I will consider keeping you in office or removing you. ”
The three people who were named hurriedly stepped forward to salute the lord.
The rest of the people had different expressions, and there was no surprise to any of the three people, Lucas Dayne, after all, this knight of Dorne has always been highly regarded by the lord, and it is also appropriate to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
But the other two are a little bit interesting.
Hal Hunt was the squire of the Knight of Todd Flower, and it would be understandable if he could be the representative of the Riverbenders.
But Ti Mei ...... Even if the lord was going to find a representative from among the savages, it wouldn't be her turn.
Could it be that because of the case just now, the lord intends to compensate this female savage?
Everyone thought wildly, but no one dared to question it.
Samwell isn't going to explain too much, either.
Whether this monitoring team can prevent the abuse of power by the territorial administrators, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.
But governance, that is, to cross the river by feeling the stones, try more, and after discovering problems, you can improve them.
Once the monitoring team was established, Samwell looked at Brother Ivan again.
When Gongga was found guilty, the man remained silent as if he had become a quail.
Perhaps it was because he saw the great power of the white dragon and completely extinguished the idea of fighting for power with the lord.
However, Samwell will not let his guard down on this man.
The faith of Eagle's Beak Island cannot be controlled by the Church of the Seven Gods, and must find a competitor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to you." Samwell pointed to the red-robed woman standing to his right, "This is Melisandre from Asha, a servant of the Red God Rahlo. ”
Melisandre stepped forward and bowed gracefully.
Samwell continued, "Mr. Victor, you are responsible for organizing the construction of a Red Temple in your realm, and the specific temple style, Lady Melisandre, will communicate with you. ”
"Yes, sir." Victor glanced at Brother Ivan, and saw that the other man was still bowing his head, as if he had not heard the order at all.
"Lord Caesar, the Lord of Light will bless you." Melisandre also expressed her gratitude.
At first, she actually hoped that the prophesied prince would completely convert to the Lord of Light and expel the messy beliefs in the realm, but after later getting along and tempting, she reluctantly found that this Lord Caesar was a very assertive person and did not want to act exactly according to her wishes, but he seemed to be a little wary of the Lord of Light.
However, Melisandre was not worried.
She believed that as the end approached, the lucky one chosen by the Lord of Light would feel more and more of his own insignificance and powerlessness, and would completely surrender to the light of the Lord of Light.
"Gavin." Samwell then called out to his steward, "Tell me about the development of the territory over this time." ”
"The territory is well developed, my lord." Gavin replied respectfully, "The population is steadily increasing, so far it has exceeded the number of 70,000 people, and all the savage tribes within a few hundred miles of the vicinity have all surrendered, and Sir Cheman is leading his troops on an expedition to the northeastern mountains, and I believe that the population of the territory will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend."
Brandy yields have also increased to meet the needs of our dealers, and the vineyards we planted have begun to produce fresh grapes steadily, so that we can gradually move away from our dependence on foreign raw materials and achieve higher profits.
Silver mining and refining are also well underway, with current production stable at two hundred and seventy ounces per day......"
Samwell listened quietly, quite satisfied with the development of the territory.
Gavin is indeed a competent manager and helps him to keep all the tedious affairs in order.
Samwell felt that it was time for him to give his loyal servant an identity.
Although this person has not made military achievements, his contribution to Eagle's Beak Island is no less than that of those knights who charge the trap.
Just when Samwell was thinking about how to praise his manager, Gavin's tone suddenly became solemn:
"My lord, there's something quite tricky, and I don't know what to do......"
"What's the matter?"
"Cashing in on the work."
Samwell frowned when he heard this.
The reason why Hawksbill Island has been able to develop so quickly is because of the two cash cows of brandy and silver, because of the lovely and respectable investors, and third, because of Samwell's means to advance for the future.
The biggest "loan" is actually the share of work.
Samwell fooled thousands of wildlings into working for him with some meaningless numbers, so his castle could be built in such a short time.
But this loan always has to be repaid.
At the beginning, he promised that every work was equal to a copper plate, and at the beginning he said that he would fulfill it when the castle was completed.
However, when the castle was completed, Samwell was in King's Landing, and Gavin used this as an excuse to wait for the lord to return.
When Samwell returned from King's Landing, the Iron Throne issued another war order, and the fulfillment of the event dragged on again.
But it is only three things, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people.
Although it may not cause a riot, it is a great damage to Samwell's prestige.
But if it were cashed in now, Samwell wouldn't be able to come up with such a huge sum.
Previously, when Duke Tywin promised to help the Dain family repay the debt of 70,000 gold dragons, Samwell still wanted to use the money to pay for his work, but now...... The old lion was afraid that he was eager to kill him, how could he continue to fulfill his promise.
"I'll think about it." Samwell Road.
……
After the meeting, Samwell went back to his room.
It's also funny to say that Samwell hasn't lived in this castle of his own since it was built, and has been on the go.
The room was very clean, regularly cleaned by servants, and the furniture made of purple paulownia wood was not luxurious, but it did not lose the dignity of the nobility, and the large feather bed was covered with a soft silk quilt.
The side door to the bedroom leads to a bathroom where the servant already has hot water ready for him to bathe.
Samwell undresses and sinks himself into the tub.
Wrapped in warm water, Samwell breathed a sigh of relief, and the fatigue of the journey was greatly relieved in an instant.
Cleopatra didn't seem to like water, and flapped her wings a few times, then flew out of the open window.
Samwell wasn't worried, the white dragon was well trained by him, and unless he was provoked, he wouldn't hurt people on his own initiative, and he would only hunt wild animals when he was hungry.
He lay in the bathtub, stunned by the delicate Mill tapestry on the wall directly opposite.
After some time, he heard the sound of the door being opened, and thought it was the maid who had come to add hot water, so he ignored it.
It wasn't until he smelled the familiar scent of roses that Samwell turned his head, and then saw Margaery Tyrell standing there.
The girl's facial features were pure and picturesque, her skin was as white and delicate as milk, she should have just been bathed, and her long soft brown hair was curled and scattered over her shoulders with moisture. She changed into a pale green low-cut tunic dress, highlighting her slender waist and the snow-white furrow that evoked reverie.
With a noble and dignified temperament and a sweet and gentle smile, it is really seductive.
"Need help? Master Caesar? Margaery asked, smiling.
Samwell's throat rolls a little: "What help?" ”
"Cashing in on the work." "That's a lot of money," Margaery said. Need the Tyrells borrow some money from you? ”
"Will the Tyrells lend me money?"
Margaery shrugged and said, "We can go back and ask." ”
"So you want me to go back to the High Court with you."
"Not so." Margaret pouted, "Don't you want to marry me officially?" ”
"Absolutely. But I was worried that when I went to the High Court, the Duke of Metz tied me up and gave me to the Lannisters. ”
"No, it won't." Margaery looked at the man with a determined gaze, "Unless the father wants to lose my daughter." Don't you believe me, Sam? ”
Samwell was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned.
Because, the girl in front of her suddenly untied the ribbon that bound her waist and let the long skirt slowly slide off.
She didn't wear anything inside.
The delicate skin has a pearly glow, and the delicate and perfect curves make Samwell's blood tremble and his breath short.
"Sam, let's be honest with each other." Margaery had an intoxicating smile on her face, "Okay?" ”
How could Samwell say it badly.
There was a familiar hissing sound outside the window, and it was Cleopatra who had gone and returned, trying to get in.
Smack-
Samwell decisively closed the window, and then pulled the girl in front of him into his arms.
There was a splash in the bathtub, splashing all over the floor.
