Daenerys, who had been reprimanded like a child, had no idea of fighting back, and after being shocked by the shocking spirit of Egger's plan, a long-lost heartbeat followed - even she couldn't tell whether this heartbeat was against this so-called "Great King's Plan", or to the arrogance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch in front of her.

For a queen like her, who is unwilling to be ordinary and longs to be famous in history, it must be false to say that she does not have a longing for this plan...... It's a pity, the heart is the heart, this plan sounds too much like a fantasy, and she immediately remembered the military problems that existed in it after hitting all the way: "This 'Great King's Territory' is indeed rich in products and has a large population, but how can such a plain that is completely unsafe to defend be defended in order to deal with possible foreign attacks?"

"Where did the foreign attack come from? You are the one who wants to break the wheel of history, shouldn't it be-the whole of Westeros is your country, 'the whole world, not the land of the queen'? The territory outside the king's territory is all your vassals, even if it is not directly under your jurisdiction, and the guardians of the four realms of the south, south, west, and west should no longer just recognize your identity as before, but should be the steward of the remote land for you!" Iger shrugged and continued, So your question should be: if in the distant future, the remaining lords who have not been included in the royal realm will rebel against them...... How the royal government should defend and resist. That's really a good question, so this 'Great King's Leader Plan', and the next subsidiary part - checks and balances. ”

......

"It was your ancestors' rule that created the conditions for you: before Aegon's conquest, kingdoms with harsh climates or barren lands were self-contained, with populations kept low. And now, the basic peace of the north, the west, and the Dorne for hundreds of years has made them accustomed to buying food from the bends and rivers, and they will no longer starve to death by disasters or winters. Although the valley is barely self-sufficient, it is only because of the good climate and fertile soil, and the production of more grain per unit area, due to the narrowness of the terrain in the valley and the lack of arable land, it is destined that this status quo will not last too long - the increase in population, on the one hand, makes the strength of these four places stronger, but on the other hand, it also makes these four places more dependent on the outside world, as long as His Majesty controls the lifeblood of food, it will choke the throat of all the dominions except the Great Monarchy. ”

"Of course, food alone is not reliable, and Your Majesty still has to put some more 'shackles' and 'collars' on the four lands, so that your successors can also succeed without worry: the people of the north are fierce, and the army is strong in combat, and my suggestion is to divide and contain - divide and contain the mountain clans and the land with the people to the land gift, and at the same time change the law, declare the end of the night watchman system, which has become increasingly weak, and the defenders of the Great Wall will henceforth be directly dispatched and paid by the central government, directly under the royal family. By weakening the strength of the northern territory, planting such a garrison behind it, and monitoring the princes' every move, the possibility of its 'gathering troops to the south' is stifled; But to change the rules slightly, that is, the gold of the Seven Kingdoms, whoever owns it, must be kept in the custody of the bank as long as it exceeds a certain amount, and the bank's large vault must be located in the royal capital - i.e., the gold of Westeros may not be yours, but the entity must be mostly in your hands. When their owners use them, simply move gold from one room to another and never leave the royal realm, eliminating the root of any possibility of anyone plotting with their wealth to jeopardize your rule. ”

"The northern and western borders have always been strong, and they have to be dealt with in a special way...... And there is no need to worry too much about Vale and Dorne: although the former has a good victory, it is mostly because he is on the right side rather than because he is strong, the country is small and the people are outnumbered, and he can only be regarded as midstream in terms of strength, and he has not even been subdued by his own internal mountain clan for many years, and the little family wealth he has saved for more than ten years has also been completely defeated in the rebellion of the Righteous Alliance not long ago...... As long as a garrison stopped the Bloody Gate, the powerful royal navy controlled the sea and the foreign trade of Seagull Town, and then ordered the royal family to pay tribute to the royal family with fruits, vegetables and horses, and used these crops that had nothing to do with grain to occupy its limited arable land to increase its demand for food from the outside world, it would not make any waves. As for Dorne...... Hehe, although the slogan of 'Dorne is as dense as sand' is loud, and even Aegon's failure to conquer it is legendary, but in the end, the Dorns are just good at fighting guerrilla warfare in the desert, and they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes to win. The population is sparse and the resources are poor, and they are not even out of their own nests, and they only need to contain the two valley passes and control the food supply, and they will not become the protagonists of the power field until the end of the world......"

"Oh, I almost didn't remember that there was an Iron Island...... Hey, the land of projectiles, the clown who jumps the beam, forget about it. "When the guns are on board, the iron fleet that these robbers are proud of will be nothing. Egger thought to himself, took another sip of the wine that had been cold, and sighed: "But, here I have to mention again - how many tricks and means Your Majesty has prepared in his lifetime, in case the descendants do not fight, it will be all in vain. Only when one's own strength is strong is the eternal truth. Having taken control of the richest part of Westeros, and putting the reins around the necks of the remaining four kingdoms, and in this good situation, the productive forces were further developed, and soon the royal family would have surplus wealth to maintain a standing army larger than the garrison of the capital. On the solid foundation of the country, we will make great efforts to develop science and technology, and always stay one step ahead, and the rule will be worry-free forever. ”

The room fell silent, and Iger finished all that had to be said, and sat quietly in his place, shaking his legs with ease, and sipping a glass of wine while admiring the peerless face of the young queen, who was not only stunningly beautiful, but also the most powerful in the world...... The thoughtful expression of being fooled and lame by himself...... and the wonderful contrast between the two.

＊＊＊

Why did Egger prefer to annoy Daenerys rather than offer these tactics when they last met on Dragonstone? Why did he rejoice when he succeeded in coaxing Daenerys into the towers of Crown? Why did he make a point not to tell anyone else about today's conversation?

It's very simple: his majestic blueprint seems to be considered for Daenerys everywhere and tailored for her ideal of "breaking the wheel", but in fact it is mixed with a lot of private goods, avoiding the important and only talking about the pros and cons...... There is more than enough for the little queen who has seen and experienced all the things in the flicker, but if there is an old man like Varys and Petyr, he will inevitably quickly point out the problems and omissions in his lofty arguments. In that way, he can't smoothly pretend to bluff the little queen into a small matter, in case he is reprimanded and disgraced, it will be over.

Egger knows very well about himself: in addition to the far more insightful and knowledgeable than ordinary people, his own scheming and political scheming can never be compared with the eunuch and Littlefinger, and the best effect that this scene wants to achieve is to make Daenerys think that she has met a like-minded comrade-in-arms and a master who is difficult to find in the world. made her suddenly discover: there is still a person in the world who can give her things that no one else can give, so that when she meets Daenerys and others a big step later, she quickly gains a certain status in her heart, and even looks at her differently.

To fully achieve the goal, the meeting had to be conducted one-on-one without any outside interference, and it would be even better if Iger could add another layer of psychological advantage to the guests on Egger's turf.

This small tower in Houguan Town couldn't be more perfect.

No matter how noble the slogan and the cause, it is not as good as the profit to win loyalty. Productivity growth will make the pie bigger, but the share will never change from 100% to 101%, and the first thing Iger has to do in order to get a piece of the pie is to eliminate some of the aristocratic class—kick some players off the table to make room for himself and the Night's Watch forces that follow him.

And the reason why it is to persuade the queen to engage in the "big king's domain" instead of conquering the whole territory and running directly into the era of centralization is that there are many reasons. Jumping directly from feudal secession to centralized power is naturally theoretically about maximizing interests, but the great unified dynasty looks wonderful, but it has a great drawback: its rules will change from a complex set of interests distribution, exchange, and mutual checks and balances to a simple "winner-takes-all", and this unchecked characteristic will make the cruelty of the power struggle unprecedentedly increased.

If the Seven Kingdoms are compared to a chess and card room, then Egger, the traverser, is the God of Gambling who suddenly broke in, with the advantage of predicting the plot, understanding the character of the characters, and his own vision and knowledge, he has the same card skills as if he was hanging. But although the technique is good, he is an out-and-out outsider in this chess and card room, everyone abides by the law and plays according to the rules at the poker table, and he can make a lot of money...... But once he overturned the table and smashed the chess and card room to play a big brawl, he might not be able to have the last laugh when he had a weak foundation.

This set aside the four major Dominions of the South, South, and Northwest...... Yu Gong is the guarantee and ballast stone that consolidates the royal power and allows Westeros's ruling structure to smoothly transition from one model to another, and Yu Zi is also a personal insurance for Egger: once the great cause is achieved in the future, the four kingdoms that have not yet been settled are their own self-respecting "Kou", and they are the dependence of themselves to avoid falling into the predicament of rabbits and dead dogs...... Not to mention, the northern and western borders of these four countries have quite a bit of friendship with themselves.

......

As a "foreigner", even if Egger has a killing weapon in his hand and is famous in the Seven Kingdoms, it is impossible for him to suddenly jump on the table and become a banker without a name. He needed a springboard to jump out of the land grant: supporting King Stannis was the worst option, thankless, Aegon Egger in the South didn't know anything about it, and Joffrey Baratheon, who he held in his hand, was a good pawn, but declared it orthodox and then went to war...... Before penetrating the North, the Riverlands and Tywin, they were all fighting alone, and the prestige of "Born in Trouble" was reduced, making the game even more difficult to hell.

All things considered, Daenerys was the best choice: Iger had a slight knowledge of her temperament, she had a decent armed force, and most importantly, ......

Iger took a deep breath and reluctantly admitted: the Queen's cheating had worked on him, although he remained normal on the surface of his sanity...... But deep in his subconscious, he vaguely realized that he had actually made "taking refuge in the Dragon Queen" as the first and even the final decision, and even couldn't wait to serve her. As long as she extends an olive branch again, she will definitely take it.

However, after looking up at Daenerys's tangled expression, Iger smiled again: "You have trapped me with that inexplicable attraction, why don't I trap you by providing an incomparably wonderful prospect? Although Littlefinger and Varys are both top players, they are limited by their own vision, interests, and class attributes, and no matter how much they rack their brains, they will not be able to offer the queen a plan that will make her more fascinated than the "Great Monarch Plan".

I seized the opportunity of Daenerys to leave the staff and leave alone, and spared no effort to stuff her with a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas...... It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and in the future, the other two players will only feel bored if they make the nest of "feudal lords" fragrant and sweet.

Iger dared to conclude that no matter how much the queen weighed the pros and cons and analyzed the pros and cons, she would eventually succumb to the strong desires and yearnings of her subconscious, and embark on the path she had drawn for her!
