Chapter 0320 - Rewarding Meritorious Deeds and Recruiting Aborigines' Mooncakes

After the affairs of the advance army were properly planned, Kaiyan City put up lanterns and held a feast to celebrate the end of the war.

The hostages on both sides were relieved of danger, the noble heirs returned to their families, and the Sanctuary of Castle Rock witnessed the oath of submission of the Westlanders.

After the big celebration, it was rewarded according to this military merit.

The noble knights of the Vale have responded to Eddard Stark, bloodied, charged, and now is time for them to reap. There is a lot of gold in the west, the grain and grass are piled up like a mountain, thousands of war horses, countless pack horses, cattle and sheep, Kaiyan City is a city of gold, and the entire Hall of Heroes is made of gold.

There is a lot of gold in the west, and many gold mines have been mined to this day.

As the western frontier of the defeated country, it is time for them to pay the price of defeat.

Eddard Stark is the first to bear the brunt of the reward for meritorious deeds, Will Cao, who has made the greatest contributions. His military merits are the first, and the reward is also the first. As for Robb Stark, he was searching the east with fifty light horsemen for Marin Tran and Mandon Moore.

"Lord Will, you have made miraculous contributions to pacify the Western Realm, and you will be rewarded according to your merits, what reward do you want?"

Will said: "Lord Eddard, the town of Oxford has been a great victory, and we have captured a thousand war horses, hundreds of pack horses, thousands of ox carts, countless grains and grasses, and tens of thousands of sets of weapons and armor. Capture the capital of Castle Rock, capture thousands of noble heirs, hundreds of Joffrey I's courtiers, and according to the custom of hostage redemption, our Ash Legion and the five hundred warriors of the North deserve a million Golden Dragon rewards. ”

Will's words made the nobles look at each other.

These nobles included the nobles of the West, as well as the nobles of the Riverlands and the Vales. The former is a distressed indemnity, and the latter is jealousy.

Eddard Stark was expressionless and motioned for Will to continue.

Will added: "Lord Eddard, Lord Sirs, Lord Tywin, Sir Kaivon, we have taken Kaiyan City, Autumn has not committed any crimes, if we are going to rob the Lannister family's Golden Hero's Hall, you think, all the gold has been removed by our warriors. A hundred golden statues of heroes are more than a hundred human weights. ”

Duke Tywin and Duke Kevon looked very ugly.

Will this capitulation, the wealth accumulated by the Lannisters for generations, be nothing?

The Lannisters are all faceless.

The lion of Will in black opened his mouth, and the demands of the other nobles were also raised by him.

The atmosphere in the main hall began to become solemn.

A few days of feasting to celebrate the end of the war, the Lannisters spent a lot of money. The nobles of the three regions in the capital of the western realm are all wanton carnivals, the alliance forces of the three places are inside and outside the city, and the fish and meat of tens of thousands of people are all expenses of the Lannister family.

The Lannisters are rich and rival the country, but they are not willing to be blackmailed by Will and others.

It's just that as the side of surrender, they don't have much say at this time.

Eddard Stark said, "Lord Will, I understand all of what you're saying, but I can't meet all your requests. Say what you want, don't be too high, and don't grieve yourself. ”

Will smiled slightly, if you want to get a mooncake, then it's better to ask for a mooncake.

Before the destruction of Castle Rock, Will received a message from the little demon Tyrion - not a raven message, but a message from the natives of the Bright Moon Mountains - the little demons Tyrion and Bron, the two Shals of the Children of the Forest, Kren and Fred, and the Prophet Lady Leaf of the Children of the Forest, fell to the aborigines of the Bright Moon Mountains.

Tyrion, who went to solicit the natives, was 'recruited' by the natives.

With Tyrion's wisdom and cunning, although they were lost to the natives, they were not harmed, because Tyrion's incorruptible tongue painted a beautiful vision for the natives to look forward to, which was the fundamental reason why the natives were willing to send a message to Will.

The aborigines don't use ravens, they use manpower.

Will received a summons from the aborigines, smiled slightly, he was very relieved to Tyrion, since Tyrion drew a large moon cake for the aborigines of the Bright Moon Mountains, and the aborigines also believed that the moon cake was real, so Will did not panic at all, and still followed the steps, first crossed the mountain range into the west and defeated the western Lannisters.

Now that the Westlands have surrendered, it's time to find a way to bring the mooncakes that Tyrion promised to the natives to bring to the Bright Moon Mountains, along with a thousand miners from the West.

The dragon crystal mining work on Dragonstone Island is urgent. If there is enough time, there are still two years, and if there is not enough time, the strangers will strike early, maybe a year or less.

The reward for military merit that Will wants now is the moon cake for the aborigines of the Mingyue Mountain Range, according to the negotiation technique of proposing three moon cakes if he wants to get one moon cake, Will first discussed his great achievements, and naturally gave everyone high psychological expectations.

After raising Lannister's concerns, Will said, "Although Castle Rock is a rich country, Robb Stark and I have some credit, but it is mainly due to Lord Eddard's ingenuity. In this case, I hope to get tens of thousands of golden dragons as a reward for the Ash Legion, and in addition, I want a thousand cattle and sheep, a thousand bags of grain, 3,000 sets of armor, 3,000 sets of weapons, tomahawks, long swords, spears, spears, short swords, daggers, steel thorns, bows and arrows, please reward Lord Eddard. ”

Eddard Stark, Tywin, Kevon, and Duke Horst were all secretly relieved.

Eddard's eyes became friendly as he looked at Will.

Tywin, Kaivon's eyes were also relaxed in tension. The other nobles of the Westside cast a grateful and flattering look at Will, a reaction that Will likes to see.

Will's demands may seem like a lot, but they are nothing compared to the Lannister's wealth. The 10,000 recruits in Oxford Town were slaughtered and 90% were driven away, and those weapons and armor were more than 10,000 sets, as for a thousand cattle and sheep, it sounds like a lot, but any nobleman with a little foundation can take out a thousand cattle and sheep without any pressure.

As for the thousand bags of grain, for the nobles of the Western Realm, who piled up mountains of grain and grass and accumulated countless wealth in the decades of peace, the cattle and sheep grain, in thousands, was all scum.

Except for Will's 'greed' for weapons and armor, the other noble lords all have a large number of weapons and armor stored in their armories, and what Will wants are unpopular goods that they don't like.

It is also appropriate to use 3,000 sets of armor weapons to be pulled by a thousand cattle and sheep. Will can do more if he wants, but taking the iron guys is a problem. In the future, wouldn't it be better for the nobles of all countries to send people to the Great Wall of Desperation.

The cattle and sheep that are not eye-catching to the nobles are the best moon cakes for the aborigines, and thousands of cattle and sheep will make them feel more tangible than the equally important gold. It's like giving a farmer a hoe, a fisherman's net, and a hunter's bow and arrow. Practical and practical and in line with his psychology.

And these thousand cattle and sheep, and a thousand sacks of grain, are not within the scope of Tyrion's mooncakes.

Give something, if you just promise one mooncake, but if you give two, you will make the other party get unexpected surprises, so as to win you more than you can imagine in return.

Will gave a lot of credit, but his appetite was not great, which won the hearts of several heads of the dukes, after all, the nobles of the North, the nobles of the Riverland, and the nobles of the Valley, all who sent troops to participate in the battle, had to be soaked in rain and dew. This will be an astronomical amount of wealth compensation, but it will be shared among the heads of the major nobles in the Western Realm, as long as it is not excessive, it will not be difficult for the nobles in the Western Realm who have been accumulating wealth for decades.

Moreover, the gold mines underground in the West, Eddard Stark did not order the countries to divide the minerals equally, and the gold and silver mines are still owned by the nobles of the West.

Will's reward for military exploits was approved by the Lannisters, and although the defeated side had little to say, they would also raise objections because of excessive demands.

The five hundred members of the Ash Legion were rewarded with tens of thousands of golden dragons, half of which were used as the common wealth of the Desperate Great Wall Legion, and half were distributed to the warriors, but the cheers of the five hundred or so legions were like thousands of troops. As for the war horses and armor weapons they themselves grabbed in battle, they naturally had already been possessed.
