Green said: "Master Carter, as far as I know, the life of the fishermen is not good, the long summer has passed, the short autumn is not long, and the long winter is coming. Fishermen who don't have a few years of food reserves will not survive this winter, and it will be easy to recruit from fishermen if our soldiers' salaries are okay and their families are taken care of. ”

The whole long winter is the saddest day for the people of the north, and many families, if the long winter is too long, will all starve to death. Such things are common in long winters.

Joining the army in the autumn is actually the best choice for many poor people.

The winter towns outside Winterfell could not accommodate fishermen in remote places such as the East China Sea.

The area of the northern territory is almost the size of the other six countries, and although it is sparsely populated, it is still too large, and the combined population is still large, and the number of freedmen in the winter town is more than 10,000, which is very problematic.

Carter said: "The soldiers are now paid 10 silver deer a month, which is twice as much as before. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, weapons and armor are all provided by the legion. Soldiers with families, they can get a plot of land to grow food or keep livestock in captivity, or participate in family hunting teams, or they can do chores in the legion, two silver deer a month. If the soldiers have a mission, such as winning a battle, half of the weapons and armor they get are handed in, and the remaining half goes to themselves. ”

"Under such conditions, as soon as the conscription order is issued, the fishermen will come to join the army," Green said. - Lord Will, it's not enough to join our fleet from all the fishing villages near the East Sea Look, and we need to recruit troops from the fishing villages along the northern coast, which requires the consent of the Stark family of Winterfell. ”

"You just have to recruit the soldiers, on the Stark side of Winterfell, I'll take care of it. Will said.

"Yes, sir. Green said.

He originally had only one problem, but after getting a glimpse of Will's ambitions, Green's problems suddenly multiplied.

"Lord Will, Lord Carter, autumn is over, winter is coming, if we are all killed by the strangers in the dead of winter, then it will be fine, everyone is comfortable to be ghouls and roam the land, but what if we defeat the strangers under the leadership of Lord Will?"

Arnold, the lone wolf, said, "What the hell are you talking about, what do you do if you defeat the strangers? I don't understand at all?"

"We've defeated the Stranger, but the winter will last for many years, and in the unpredictable winter, there are so many of us, about 100,000 people, what will 100,000 people eat?" Green said.

Grain! Food!

In the cold winter that lasts for several years, if you defeat the strangers, the biggest remaining enemies are cold and hunger.

"100,000 people?" Arnold said, "you have a problem with your brain, now the total number of the legion is less than 6,000, where are the 100,000 people? Although the advance army of the four countries also has 6,000 people, but they are under our jurisdiction militarily, and the others are independent, whether it is training, rest, military salary, food and weapons, they are all independent, and they themselves belong to their own lords. Whenever the lord gives the order, they have to go back. ”

Green's brow furrowed, it was the uncomfortable reaction caused by the pain of his severed limb: "Lord Arnold, Winter Solstice, according to Lord Will's military order, open the Great Wall to welcome the settlement of the Savage Tribe. If all the wild people outside the Great Wall enter our jurisdiction and take root, I estimate that it will be more than 50,000 people, plus the more than 20,000 roaring stone tribes coming down from the Wolf Forest Mountain Range, it will be 70,000. ”

"Our legion, by that time, will have at least 10,000 or more elite soldiers, that is, at least 80,000. If the advance army of the four countries does not withdraw in the winter, and their masters do not deliver food to them, we must solve their food problem, plus Lord Tyrion's miners and legions on Dragonstone, I said that we need to take into account the problem of food for 100,000 people in the winter, is there a problem?"

Arnold, the lone wolf, opened his mouth and closed his mouth in disagreement.

Commander-in-Chief Carter, Chief Ranger Arnold, Bachelor Shazo, Captain of the Fleet Osheng Shidong, Chief Officer Tasin Hewen, Recruit Leader Aesop, Big Gilly, Angay, Green's deputy Wright, Will Ash Tribe Guards, Hound Dogs, etc., all have strange hearts. - Green had broken his hand last night and had been lying in the medical room of the bachelor's room all night, and he still had the heart to calculate these things so carefully?

What kind of person is this guy?!

"So I suggest that our first trade be to trade grain with the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and we will sell our hides, wine, swords, fish, gold and silver ornaments, onions, tribal clothing, etc., to the free trade city-states and bring back the grain. ”

"Several of the free trade city-states are by the sea, and they still need our catch?" said the bachelor Xia Zuo.

"Set out for Braavos in an empty fishing boat, and when we arrive in Braavos, if our captain is experienced enough, the empty fishing boat will be filled with fish, and then the fish on board will be exchanged for some ornaments, wine or fruit, and we will be able to exchange it for a full amount of food. If we have stockpiled enough grain, we can start selling it at a high price in the fourth year after the winter, when people's reserves are almost depleted. Green said lightly.

"You can also sell it while hoarding grain by yourself at the beginning, transport a boatload of grain back, hoard seventy percent, sell thirty percent to make money, and nothing will be lost. Food will be needed in both the Riverlands and the Valleys in the North, and the wars of the Rebellion in the West have burned so much that hundreds of miles of farmland in the Riverlands have been destroyed. Now King's Landing has begun to suffer from famine, not to mention how people will survive the winter. The grain business can be done now, mainly because we hoard it ourselves and sell it to earn the difference in price. Will said.

"Your Excellency is right, the more frequent the wars, the more chances we have to get rich. From a business point of view, peace is the natural enemy of armed businessmen. Our desperate Great Wall is definitely armed merchants. I don't know if you've heard the Braavos Iron Vault's motto: The Iron Vault will never allow default. In fact, they are a bunch of loan sharks. They dare to lend money to anyone, because no one dares to owe them, whether you are a king or a lord. Green said with a smile.

"Why are they so powerful?" Commander Carter really didn't understand.

"When a prince or king defaults on their debts, or is foolish enough to disrespect their contract with the Iron Vault, new princes or kings will spring up with the financial aid of the Iron Vault. These new princes or kings, having won, must recognize their previous debts and their own debts, lest they suffer the same fate as their predecessors. Will said.

"But I think it's actually stupid for them to lend money to others to rebel when they can't get it back, because they bet that the rebel won't necessarily succeed, and the cost of the multi-party bet will be greater, and what if they fail again? Not desirable at all. Even if it succeeds, the new and old debts will be added together and the interest will be paid by the new king, and the new king has just come to power, can a country that has just gone through a war be able to afford a huge usury? If the people are too vicious, a new war will break out, and will it be a new cost investment? Hehe, although they have not collapsed yet, I already knew from some sources when I was in King's Landing that the internal contradictions of the iron vault are not small, and their strategy will not change, and sooner or later something will happen, this is certain. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding Green's words.

Will said, "What if you say we do business?"

"No one is not afraid of death? The more money you make, the more you are afraid of death. The reason why those profiteers are not afraid is because the knives of those people are too blunt to move them. Our business is simple, fair trade and make reasonable profits. Whoever dares to hack us, then give him two ways to go, either pay back the money with interest, or die. I am convinced only that only armed businessmen are invincible. Lord Will, if you dare to let me do it, I can create an armed business empire for adults, and leave it to you to lead the army to fight, and leave the money to the villain. ”

"I give you the power, you do it, the capital, I will pay. Will said lightly.

"Yes, sir. ”
