The king on the Great Wall

Page 145

But Daenerys opened her mouth, and immediately realized that it was not for nothing that Iger deliberately reminded her how strong the River Bend was.

The implication is nothing more than to tell himself: the strongest force in the River Bend, not only can't negotiate with it to form an alliance, but it must be pulled into the camp after compromise, but it must also be defeated and taken into its own hands?

This is totally counter logical.

"But, with the exception of Dorne and the Reach, the other five nations stood opposite House Targaryen in the Reaver's War, and my family—well, it's just me now—has patricide. The bloody feud of murdering my brother. Even if I am willing to win them over, they will not be able to stand on my side. I have no choice at all, so why "how to choose"?"

"Forget about those damned family feuds first, simplify the problem model, step by step." Iger shook his head, stood up, and took paper and charcoal from the side cabinet.Fortunately, this room used to be a laboratory for pyromancers, and they needed to do some calculations from time to time to do experiments, and there was nothing missing... After taking the pen and paper, he returned to sit in front of the Queen, and with a few brushstrokes, he wrote down the entire length of the Great Wall. The rough topographic map of Westeros in the south is drawn on paper: "Number the Seven Kingdoms from one to seven, regardless of the degree of closeness and distance, regardless of the views and attitudes of the ruler's family towards you, and regardless of culture and belief... Only consider geography. Assuming you are already the victor, how do you rule this country so that you can ensure that your control over the entire territory is so strong that no one can hinder any reforms you want?"

How could a night watchman draw a map of the Seven Kingdoms?Daenerys glanced at Iger unexpectedly, then leaned forward with her hips slightly away from the chair, looking down at the simple map across the table like a child watching the teacher correct the test paper: her night watchman "teacher", on the map A series of numbers are superscripted: 1 in the Reach, 2 in the West, 3 in the Riverlands, 4 in the Stormlands, 5 in the Vale, 6 in the North, and 7 in Dorne.After a pause, he probably felt that there was no end to it, so he marked 8 on the Wangling, and 9 on the Iron Islands... Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he marked 10 on the Great Wall.

"Sorry, what I said just now was too vague. The Seven Kingdoms are actually not only the Seven Kingdoms, but ten forces—even if Dragonstone Island and the Narrow Sea Islands are ignored. Please take a look again, Your Majesty. , how do you want to rule this continent?"

Daenerys tilted her head and looked at this super-simplified map of Westeros for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what the ranking was based on: it was obviously not the location, the strength was not quite the same, and the abundance of resources was even more wrong... As for how to rule this continent?Don't even have a clue... She doesn't even have a clue!

What does it mean to only consider geography?She can understand every word Iger said, but she can't keep up with the train of thought when they put it together!

Before I won the war, I started thinking about how to rule in advance. It's a bit of putting the cart before the horse. Hey!

……

After changing from a "proud queen" to a "humbly queen", Daenerys turned into a "helpless girl" again, looked up at Iger with doubtful and pitiful eyes, It's just short of "please teach me, sir".

Iger raised his head and looked at Daenerys, and couldn't help squinting at her face that was so close to him because he leaned over to look at the map, sniffed the inaudible but surprisingly wonderful smell wafting from her body, and suddenly thought of : Peeling off the strong and proud shell, the little queen in front of her is just a young girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, not even as old as Nina.Taking off the identity of the queen, she is still just a person who needs care, help and guidance...

stop!Iger pulled out of his reverie in time, and cold sweat almost broke out on his back: this kind of magical attraction is simply incomprehensible, he thinks he can fight it with reason, but in fact it is very possible—he is just using another way to understand It is subtly affected, just sinking in a little bit.

It's not the time to think about this, the brainwashing process is already halfway through, don't make mistakes because of distraction at this time!

"Remind me, which places in the Seven Kingdoms border on the king's land, and which places are far away?" He put away his thoughts, and handed the pen to Daenerys, "Cross the far ones."

The little queen hesitated to take the pen, looked at the map for a long time, hesitated, gritted her teeth and crossed the North, the Iron Islands and Dorne.

"Basically correct." Iger took back the pen, refraining from touching Daenerys' finger deliberately.He traced the three small x's made by the queen's pretty little hand into a striking big x, and then marked the same cross in the west and the valley, "there are these two places, which seem to be not far from the king's land , but it is separated from the Great Plain by mountains, so it is inconvenient to get there. Your Majesty understands that I crossed these five places because they have something in common?"

"Can't you get to these five places without going over the mountains?"

"Yes, but from a political point of view, the feature of 'you can't get there without going over the mountains' means... Even if you take down these five places, it will be difficult to rule in King's Landing." Iger nodded, " In the place where I come from, there is an old saying: 'Far away and close attack'. It refers to this situation - if you can't control it, then don't bother to occupy it. These five lands are far from the core plain in the center of Westeros. The transportation is very inconvenient. Unless your majesty's dragon has the ability to burn down the mountains and dry up the swamps and oceans, it will be difficult to rule directly even if it takes painstaking efforts: appoint a new lord, it will still be rebellious after a long time; Let's control it with the bureaucratic system. In the case of 'the sky is high and the queen is far away', the burden of official corruption is finally passed on to the people, and this is contrary to your ideal of making people live a better life. Therefore, my The suggestion is - do not be enemies with these five places."

"And except for the rest of these five places..." Iger didn't give Daenerys a chance to ask questions, as if he didn't even need to look at it, he roughly marked the locations of Seagull Town, King's Landing and Old Town on the map, swish With a few swipes, draw a large irregular frame: with the three big cities as the axis and the plain as the body, it covers the entire royal territory, almost the entire River Bend, half of the Riverland, a small part of the Western Region and The area of ​​the Stormland can be compared with the entire northern border, almost one-third of the Great Wall south of the Great Wall, and half of the south outside the northern border.

Putting down his pen, Iger pointed to the big frame he drew on the map, and pretended to be surprised: "God! I can't even help suspecting that when your ancestor Aegon the Conqueror chose the location of King's Landing and the King's Land, Considering what you want to do today - the rivers, river bends and stormlands bordering the kingdom, occupying the flattest, most fertile, and most densely populated core plains in the Seven Kingdoms. Tello has 70% of the population and 80% of the food production. Expanding the scope of the royal territory to the one shown in the picture, under the direct rule and command of the royal family, will firmly control the lifeline of the kingdom. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don’t Divide and die, and you will be invincible!"

Daenerys stared at the big frame on the paper with her eyes wide open, and her mouth was slightly open, unable to close it for a long time: I swear to the gods, she really just wanted to watch "The Prince" when she came here.And now, with a piece of paper and a few lines drawn with charcoal, she... was a little scared!

"But...but..."

"It's nothing but, let's give it a name first. It expands outwards on the basis of the original king's land. It's better to call it 'big-king'. Why is such a good piece of land in Westeros for thousands of years?" In the long history, no one has ever unified it? It’s very simple, lack of productivity, inconvenient transportation, and no one has this ambition and ability.” Iger continued to bewitch, “But your ancestors have ruled for nearly 300 years And prepare to remove these obstacles for you: King Jaehaerys I vigorously built roads and strengthened the connections between various places. After so many years, the great kingdom I have drawn now has the 'River Road', 'King's Road', To connect the horizontal and vertical traffic route system composed of 'Golden Avenue', 'Rose Avenue' and 'Binhai Avenue', as long as these existing avenues are repaired to a certain extent and a few supplementary north-south lines are added, the entire Dawangling They will all be connected as one! To a certain extent, government orders have been achieved here, and the local government directly accepts the command of the royal family to form a complete kingdom-if you are still timid and hesitant, please forgive me: please stop talking about it Breaking the wheel of history is just adding more jokes to people!"

Chapter 405

Daenerys, who was reprimanded like a child, had no intention of retaliating at all. After being shocked by Iger's shocking plan, what followed was a long-lost feeling of heartbeat—even she couldn't explain it clearly I wonder if this heartbeat is for this so-called "Great King's Landing Plan", or for the arrogance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchmen in front of him pointing out the country and berating Fang Qiu.

For a queen like her who is unwilling to be mediocre and longs to be famous in history, it must be a lie to say that she has no longing for this plan... Unfortunately, the heartbeat is the heartbeat, this plan sounds too much like a fantasy like a fantasy She called all the way and immediately remembered the military problems: "This 'King's Territory' is indeed rich in resources and has a large population, but how to defend such a plain that is completely defenseless, so as to deal with possible Attack from outside?"

"Where does 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, 'Under the world, is it the Queen's land'? The area outside the king's domain Even if it is not directly under your jurisdiction, it is all your subjects, and the guardians of the southeast, northwest and four regions should no longer just recognize your identity as before, but should be the stewards who guard remote lands for you!" Iger shrugged and continued. "So your question should be: If in the distant future, these remaining great lords who have not been included in the king's land are disobedient and intend to rebel...how should the king's government defend and resist. This is indeed a good idea. Question, so, this 'Great King's Land Plan', and the next subsidiary part - checks and balances."

……

"Or your ancestors' rule created the conditions for you: Before Aegon's conquest, those kingdoms with harsh climate or poor land were self-contained, and the population has always been kept at a low level. But now? The northern border, the western border , Dorne's basic peace for hundreds of years has made them accustomed to buying food from river bends and river lands, and large numbers of residents will no longer starve to death due to disasters or harsh winters. Although the valleys can barely be self-sufficient, they It is only because the climate is good and the soil is fertile, and the grain production per unit area is more. Due to the narrow terrain in the valley and the lack of arable land, it is doomed that this status quo will not last long-the increase in population, on the one hand, makes the four regions The strength of the country has become 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 lifeline of food, he will strangle the throat of all the autonomous dominions other than the Great King's Land."

"Of course, just because the food is unreliable, Your Majesty still has to put some 'shackles' and 'collars' on the four places, so that your successors will have no worries: the people in the northern border are tough, the army is strong, My suggestion is to divide and contain - assign the mountain clans, including their people and land, to land grants, and at the same time change the law to announce the end of the already weakened night watchman system. By weakening the strength of the northern border, placing such a garrison behind it, and monitoring every move of the princes, it is possible to kill the possibility of "gathering troops to the south"; the western border: rich in gold, rich in the world, you must have heard of Duke Tywin The announcement of the 'Gold Control Order' to control the economic lifeline of the Western Region and concentrate resources for post-war reconstruction, His Majesty only needs to follow the gourd - but slightly change the rules, that is: the gold of the Seven Kingdoms, no matter who owns it, as long as it is If the amount exceeds a certain amount, it must be kept by the bank, and the bank's large treasury must be located in the capital—that is, the gold in Westeros may not be yours, but most of the entity must be in your hands. When they When your master uses them, you only need to move gold from one room to another, but never leave the kingdom, eliminating the possibility of anyone using wealth to plot and endanger your rule. "

"The northern and western borders have always been strong, and special policies must be formulated to deal with them... and there is no need to worry too much about the valley and Dorne: although the former has a good record, it is mostly because they are on the right team rather than because they are strong. Few, in terms of strength, he can only be regarded as the middle class. After many years, he has not even subdued his own Gaoshan clan. The little family he had accumulated over the past ten years was completely defeated in the rebellion of the Alliance of the Righteous not long ago... All it takes is a garrison to contain the Blood Gate, and the powerful royal navy controls the shipping and foreign trade of Seagull Town, and then orders the royal family to pay tribute to the royal family with melons, fruits, vegetables and horses, and use these crops that have nothing to do with food to occupy its limited arable land to increase its It can't make any waves in the food demand from the outside world. As for Dorne... Hehe, although the slogan of 'Dorne is as dense as sand' is resounding, even Aegon's achievements in failing to conquer it are legendary, but In the final analysis, the Dornish people are just good at fighting guerrilla warfare in the desert. Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. The total energy consumption is enough to win. The population is sparse and the resources are poor. Control the food supply, and they will not become the protagonists in the power field until the end of the world..."

"Oh, I almost didn't think there was an Iron Islands... Hey, it's a small place, a clown, forget about it." When the artillery boarded the ship, the Iron Fleet, which the bandits were proud of, was nothing.Iger thought to himself, took another sip of the cold wine, and sighed: "But, here I have to mention - how many tricks and means your Majesty has prepared in his lifetime, if the future generations do not live up to it, it will be all vain Yes. Only when one’s own strength is strong is the eternal truth. After controlling the most affluent area of ​​Westeros, and putting the reins around the necks of the remaining four countries, and developing productivity under this good situation, soon, The royal family will have surplus wealth to maintain a larger standing army than the capital’s garrison. On the basis of a stable country, we will make every effort 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 what he needed to say, sat quietly in his place, shook his legs easily, and sipped fine wine comfortably while admiring the beautiful and amazing, but also the most powerful The young queen's—peerless face...the thoughtful expression of being fooled by herself...and the wonderful contrast between the two.

***

Why would Igger rather annoy Daenerys than offer these tricks the last time we met at Dragonstone?Why was he secretly happy when he successfully coaxed Daenerys down from the dragon and led to the tower in Queenstown?Why did he stress not to tell anyone else about today's conversation?

It's very simple: His grand blueprint seems to be in consideration of Daenerys, tailor-made for her ideal of "breaking the wheel", but it is actually mixed with a lot of private goods, avoiding the important and only talking about the advantages and not the disadvantages ... It's more than enough to fool a little queen with ordinary knowledge and experience, but if an old world like Varys and Petyr is present, they will definitely quickly point out the problems and omissions in his high-level remarks.That way, he couldn't smoothly pretend to scare the little queen into a daze. It was a trivial matter, and if he was reprimanded and humiliated, it would be over.

Iger is very clear about himself: Apart from his far-reaching insight and knowledge, his scheming and political scheming can never be compared with the eunuch and Littlefinger. The best effect this scene wants to achieve - is Let Daenerys think that she has met like-minded comrades-in-arms, and met an expert who is hard to find in the world.It made her suddenly discover: there is another person in the world who can give her something that no one else can give her, so when meeting Daenerys is a big step behind others, she quickly gains a certain status in her heart, and even looks at her differently.

To fully realize the goal, this meeting must be conducted one-on-one without any external interference. It would be even better if Iger could add a layer of psychological advantage over the guests on Iger's territory.

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

No matter how lofty the slogan and cause are, nothing can win loyalty more than profit.The development of productivity will make the cake bigger, but the share will never change from 100% to 101%. If you want to get a share of this game, the first thing Iger, who is in a corner and completely absent from the stage, has to do is to eliminate some nobles Class - Kick some players off the table to make room for yourself and the night watchmen who follow you.

And there are many reasons for persuading the queen to engage in the "kingdom" instead of conquering the whole territory and running directly into the era of centralization.Jumping directly from feudal separatism to centralization is theoretically the maximization of benefits, but the unified dynasty looks beautiful, but it has a huge disadvantage: its rules will change from a complex set of benefit distribution, exchange and mutual checks and balances to It has become a simple "winner takes all", and this unrestricted feature will make the power struggle more brutal than ever.

If the Seven Kingdoms is compared to a chess and card room, then Iger, the traveler, is the God of Gamblers who suddenly broke in. With the advantages of predicting the plot, understanding the character of the characters, and his own vision and knowledge, he possesses the card skills like cheating. .But although his skills are good, he is an out-and-out outsider in this chess and card room. Everyone abides by the law and plays normally at the poker table according to the rules, and he can make a lot of money... But if the table is overturned Lost in the chess and card room and played a big fight, he may not be able to have the last laugh due to his lack of foundation.

The remaining four autonomous territories in the southeast, northwest, and north... Yu Gong is the guarantee and ballast stone for stabilizing the kingship and allowing Westeros' ruling structure to transition smoothly from one mode to another; Iger's personal insurance: Once the great cause is achieved in the future, the four countries that have not yet been settled will be the "bandits" that I have raised to be self-reliant, and it will be my reliance to avoid falling into the predicament of being a dead dog... Not to mention, the four countries in the four countries The northern border and the western border have quite a friendship with themselves.

……

As a "foreigner", Iger, even with a weapon in his hand and a reputation in the seven countries, it is impossible for him to suddenly jump on the table and become the banker without a name or distinction.He needs a "springboard" to jump out of the land grant: supporting King Stannis is the worst choice, and it is thankless; and the little Aegon Egger in the south knows nothing at all, so it is impossible to guarantee that it will end in vain; Ferry Baratheon is a good pawn, but if he declares it to be orthodox and then raises troops... he will be fighting alone until he breaks through the northern border and joins Tywin with the Riverlands. Reducing holdings makes the game even more difficult to hell.

After comprehensive consideration, Daenerys became the best choice: Iger has a little understanding of her temper and character, and she also has a considerable armed force. The most important thing is...

Iger took a deep breath, and reluctantly admitted: the Queen's hack had taken effect on him, even though he remained normal on the surface of reason... But deep in his subconscious, he vaguely realized that he had actually regarded "taking refuge in the Dragon Queen" as a The first, and even the final decision, and even some can't wait to serve her.As long as she extended an olive branch again, she would definitely accept it.

However, after looking up at Daenerys's tangled expression, Iger smiled again: "Everyone is half a catty, you locked me in with that inexplicable attraction, so why didn't I lock in by providing an extremely wonderful prospect?" about you?Although Littlefinger and Varys are both top players, they are limited by their own vision, interests, and class attributes. No matter how hard they rack their brains, it is impossible to offer the Queen a strategy that can fascinate her more than the "Great King's Land Plan".

I seized this opportunity for Daenerys to leave the staff and place orders, and spared no effort to stuff her with a table of delicacies from mountains and seas...It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. From then on, the other two players made the "feudal lord" this cornbread No matter how fragrant or sweet it is, she will only find it dull.

Iger dares to conclude that no matter how the queen weighs the pros and cons and analyzes the gains and losses, she will eventually succumb to the strong desire and yearning in her subconscious and walk on the path she has drawn for her!

chapter 406

"Good plan, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, after listening to your words, the confusion and confusion are really swept away." After a moment of immersion in the beautiful vision of the future, Daenerys returned to reality, "But you also said, This is the best solution under the extreme simplification of the problem and assuming that I have won. But the problem now is that the situation on this continent is far from as simple as you draw on this paper, and I Haven't won yet."

Indeed, the real world is not a game of enclosure and crosses on blank paper: every time a variable is taken into consideration, the complexity of the situation will increase exponentially, and what is in front of Daenerys is not Yi the Conqueror. The Seven Kingdoms that Geng faced were loose and fighting each other, but one that had been unified and divided, with an "orthodox" king like Stannis, and a little Aegon of unknown origin and the Golden Company involved... The situation is so chaotic in unimaginable Westeros!

Substitute all the actual conditions of Westeros into the model, and then consider the places across the Narrow Sea, especially Braavos where the Iron Bank is located, Pentos where Illyrio, Varys’ party member, and just now because of their different attitudes towards slavery. First, Volantis, who fought against the Queen... the attitude and tendency of these free trade city-states, the difficulty of trying to break the situation by pure tactics will skyrocket to an astronomical level, far beyond Iger's ability to analyze and judge Even Littlefinger and Varys would never dare to say that everything is under control.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to take an ordinary path from the very beginning, even the tools to break the situation violently were half prepared, and he only owed the east wind.

"Your Majesty asked me for the second half of that book, and I offered it." Iger leaned back in his chair and looked at the Queen with a smile. "As an individual, in the long river of history, it is just a passing cloud. and each family and power can be continued through inheritance, but it is also only a flash in the pan... Only 'geography' is the first element that will never change, an eternal obstacle that cannot be overcome by manpower. The strategy I offer is based on' "Insurmountable obstacles" is the only consideration. It aims to provide His Majesty with an idea, a possible path to realize your great ideal, nothing more. You have heard it and think it makes sense. If you are going to do it, then start thinking about how to overcome those' The obstacle that can be overcome' is, but if you have to ask me about the specific operation and implementation, it would be too high to look down on."

"Is there no follow-up idea for the idea you came up with?" Daenerys blurted out unhappily, completely unaware that these words had already completely trusted and relied on the other party subconsciously.

Iger shrugged: "Your Majesty wants the second half of the book. I have basically finished dictating the content. If you need it, I can even take the time to organize the content into the second volume and present it to the Queen again. But for any specific ideas, please forgive me below." Powerless—this is not a matter for a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, but for you and your staff."

***

Daenerys' expression became serious, and she gradually returned to the state that a queen should have.

Although the man in front of him said he was powerless, his expression clearly said "I've thought about everything, but I'm sorry but I don't want to tell you".Although she has a little knowledge and experience, she has no problem with her brain, how can she not understand: the free content is over, and the next one will have to be charged.

The anger flashed past, and then dissipated—because she recalled a fact: the man in front of her was not her vassal and follower, and the two had even met for the second time.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When she first met the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch on Dragonstone Island, when she lowered her body and offered an olive branch but was rejected, Daenerys was really a little annoyed, feeling that the other party was shameless.Now that she visited the land-grant in person, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were that day: the defenders of the Great Wall were not at all the "hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled" as she had imagined.Whether it is the wide and straight King's Road gift lot that is clearly visible at a height of several hundred meters, the scale and majesty of Houguan Town beyond imagination, or the crowds of people who were densely packed around the site when they landed on the dragon just now, but still able to evacuate in an orderly manner, even The teams of heavily armed and energetic soldiers in the inner fort left a deep impression on her.

Such a commanding officer who is famous, has soldiers, and also has strategy, and is in his prime...I actually wanted to use the condition of "not attacking the Night Watchman's property" plus a smiling face in exchange for his loyalty ?Now that I think about it, I was insulting others!

After insulting him, he put on a cold face when they met for the second time, and even tried to use dragons as a deterrent.Under such circumstances, the other party still treats each other as a guest, and it is already an act of benevolence, even admirable self-cultivation and tolerance, to spend such a long conversation with him.It is normal to want to be reserved and defensive now.

Marquilo fooled herself with words, Daenerys thought unhappily, the first volume "The Way of Being a King" and the second volume "Ruling the Seven Kingdoms" on the theory of monarchy really helped her a lot, but the content of this book The author—the living person, not the dead thing, is the prophecy that he "can obtain the most powerful follower"!

The emptiness of returning from the paradise of beautiful imaginations of the future to the cold reality can only be filled by the man in front of him immediately bowing his knees and swearing allegiance!

……

"what do you want?"

Daenerys sat back in the chair, turned back into the proud queen with her arms folded, and was ready to be slaughtered—because she believed that the hidden content of "The Monarch" in Iger's mind was worth it. She pays to get it.

***

This is asking myself to make a price, and Iger is a little bit dumbfounded.Daenerys is still too young and naive, even if she goes out for a girl ticket, she has to use terminology to cover it up. If she wants the support of others, how can she use such a straightforward question?

In the night talk in Icescar City a few months ago, he did have a heart-to-heart and hearty exchange of power and benefits with Dennis Mallister, thus ending the long and boring election of the commander-in-chief and creating a A new situation of land-grant was created.

That was really the best negotiation Iger had ever had in his life. Looking for a job and going for an interview before time travel was not as enjoyable as it was, but thinking about it now, it’s still comfortable.

But the same frankness and unreservedness must not be used in a dialogue with the Queen.

Just imagine—if Zhuge Liang, when Liu Bei asked him to come out to help him, said redly, "I can help you, but after it is done, I will worship the general and make you a marquis, so that future generations will enjoy the glory and wealth forever." Then... yes Imagine that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will definitely not be so harmonious, and this story will never be a good one.

How did Mr. Kong Ming actually do it?

Not only did he conceal his family background, he advertised himself as a "commoner" when he met everyone, and he also found friends to sell him and boasted that he was a "Crouching Dragon". Bringing out the righteousness of "the common people in the world", he reluctantly let go of his mouth-Uncle Huang, remember, I will help you not for the benefit, but for the sake of the common people in the world!

How brilliant!

Iger dare not presumptuously judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, saying that Zhuge Liang's acting is good, after all-in case, maybe, maybe, maybe...he really cares about the world?

The relationship between myself and Daenerys is completely different from that with Dennis Mallister: the Commander of the Shadow Tower is said to be a subordinate of the commander-in-chief, but in fact the two are more like colleagues in a certain sense.The old man Dennis can openly say what he wants and what he can provide, and he can even give Xiao Xiaoyin a hand when the matter is over-he is not worried or afraid of revenge at all.

But the queen is different. Once on her boat, she is the king and she is the minister.If you want to live long and go far, you must not only be valuable and useful to the monarch, but also have a positive and consistent personality. Only by gaining her trust, pleasing her, and gaining her respect can you win her. You can't show any details in front of the enemy.

What do you want?I want the queen to kneel down and bite for me, I want to be the master of the world, I want to be the only one, and I want to be controlled by no one!

With a sharp weapon in his body, he will kill himself.Power is really the catalyst for the strongest desire. Once upon a time, Iger was a small character who just wanted to stay away from the Great Wall and become a deserter. Who would have thought that he would have such an ambition that he wanted to swallow the sky one day?

But these thoughts, but he would not confide even half a word to anyone.

He doesn't make conditions.

But if in the end the queen still doesn't have a clue and doesn't give enough benefits to the heroes, what will she do...it's hard to say!

***

Iger showed a calm smile: "I don't want anything, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see His Majesty's great ideals come true - the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace, that's all."

Daenerys frowned.

She asked Iger to make a price, but she didn't have any complicated thoughts to find out the truth and touch his old background, and she didn't know that the other party had already thought about so many things in an instant, and she really wanted to pull Aiger into the team. Instead, I don't know what to do.

"You are a night watchman, but you know the general situation of the Seven Kingdoms so clearly. Is it just to offer a plan when you see me, and then continue to watch the Great Wall with peace of mind? Don't you understand that no matter how noble and beautiful the ideal is, if you don't take action yourself, It will never be realized!?"

"If there is no Your Majesty in the world, I naturally have the will and motivation to act." The Queen actually used her understanding, and Iger was afraid that she would blindly refuse to go down and let the hooked fish go, so she played hard to catch, "But Now that I have you, Your Majesty, I believe that you will be able to dominate the world and achieve your goals."

"Okay, since you said so." Daenerys raised her head, and the royal aura that had been suppressed for a moment was fully revealed again, "In the name of the Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, I pardon your past crime, and I order you to take off your black clothes immediately, come and serve me first, assist me to take back the Seven Kingdoms, and set up the king's constituency—to break the wheel of history!"

Chapter 407 Proof

Hey, Iger was amused by the little queen's waywardness: I just said politely, "You will definitely rule the world in the future", you are really welcome, and started to advance the use of the monarch's power first?

Forgiveness for past crimes - I just stole a few potatoes and stood in front of someone's henhouse to glance at eggs. Need you to forgive me?It's even more funny to take off the black clothes immediately and serve you-what service do you want?Without the status of night watchman, what can he use to command the large group of land grant people?You must know that even the night watchman industry that is completely controlled by oneself is legally under the name of the legion!

The reason why Iger had to decline a few times was just to be reserved as a procedure.After all, what if the process becomes the following:

[Queen: Then who, come and help me conquer the world. 】

[Self: Here comes the beauty! 】

That would be too cheap - no one cares about what is delivered to the door.

However, it is true that things are more rare if you work hard to get them, and you have to master the degree of playing.Others can visit the thatched cottage because their talent and network are really worth the price, but Daenerys is not a poor uncle Liu Huang-she doesn't have herself, and she has many other ways to go.It would be ridiculous if she had played with fire and forced her to marry little Aegon and join hands with Dorn at the Reach, and then dominate the south and become the big boss he would fight in the end.

Since she didn't intend to force her to do three visits, then this is the second time she has shown her favor and given the steps, and Iger should go down.

However, things are not that simple after all.

"Your Majesty, I am very willing to join your cause for the well-being of the people, but... After all, I am the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch Legion, and I am responsible for the Great Wall. The attack of the White Walker is imminent, and I am responsible for it. I dare not leave without authorization." Iger solemnly Said, "Well, Your Majesty promises me some conditions, and do one thing first to prove that you put the people first, so that I can not only swear allegiance to you, but even take the entire land grant to fight for your cause."

This is actually nonsense. Once he decides to join a certain camp, he must bring all his wealth and invest without reservation.He was a lone traverser with no family or children, so he naturally didn't consider leaving room for things.

Of course, the queen didn't know that-Iger was actually using the gift that "loyalty" should have come with to increase the price.

"Go ahead."

Once the foundation is solid, everything else will follow.In the following time, with a few words, Iger successfully persuaded Daenerys to give up the settlement of the old accounts of the Snatcher war, and pardoned the Kingslayer who had joined the Night Watch...and agreed to a series of his suggestions.

"The last thing is—you took your three dragons and fought for the human side in the war between the Night's Watch and the White Walkers."
