Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 14

In the face of Earl Strong and Princess Rhaenyla who made trouble at the imperial meeting, the king who called the wind and rain in King's Landing was also a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Father, I think some people regard the Royal City as their home. Officials are appointed and dismissed without the approval of the Red Castle, and the ministers appointed and dismissed by the king are emptied. This is the beginning of the chaos in King's Landing!"

"The uninformed people in King's Landing thought that Lord Otto had some unspoken thoughts. I heard from the ignorant farmer by the Blackwater River that they only knew about the Saint Hightower but not who the Saint Targaryen was?"

"My son also heard an anti-poem: The subjects of King's Landing can hear it. I used to be from the old town, and the scenery in the old town is infinitely beautiful, but I want to be a man from King's Landing, step on a giant dragon under my feet, gather all the vassals, and hide in the palace of swordsmen. , just waiting for me to become the king..."

Ranila wanted to continue making up and portraying a treacherous minister, but Hightower interrupted angrily.

Strong attacked Hightower fiercely at the imperial meeting, and he could still quibble a few words, but Otto Hightower wanted to refute what Rhaenella said, but he didn't know where to start, because he did do some things in it He also acquiesced, but he was not as presumptuous as Rhaenila said, and he didn't know where Rhaenila learned one set after another.

Xiao Mian, you may not know the wisdom of our ancestors, you are glad that you are not Hu Weiyong, the skin will be peeled off from you.

In fact, generally speaking, the authority of the Hand of the King is really not that great, and it is not as centralized as in ancient dynasties, because the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, and government orders are not so easy to implement. Without the king, many nobles will not You bird, the King's Hand can only help the king to deal with government affairs diligently, but if there is any rebellion, just wait for the nearby nobles to come to ask for an explanation.

This is mainly because Hightower has too much power to speak. The king handed over the power of the bachelor to the old town, and every nobleman has a bachelor sent from the academy to serve, and this is still the law.

In addition, Hightower's fiefdom has a long history and is one of the strongest vassals. The port of Old Town is full of information and wealth brought from all over the world. Hightower has been silent and has been digesting all this .

Then there is the church of the Starry Temple. The Targaryen family has fought countless times with the star warriors and warrior sons led by the church. Every time they pull up people who believe in the Seven Gods, it is a bloody war. Of course the Archbishop The candidate was appointed by the Hightower family. Of course, the University Council of King’s Landing is also decided by the Academy City Council controlled by Hightower. Although the king may not have the full power to choose it, there is a high probability that the people from Hightower will get the royal seat. meeting seats.

That's why Hightower is so confident. Unlike some nobles whose fiefs are not here, they silently serve the Iron Throne when they arrive in King's Landing.

King Viserys was rarely angry with Otto Hightower, his complexion was so heavy that it was about to drip water, and Hightower murmured silently when he saw it, "It's broken!"

What Hightower did, the people of King's Landing are not blind, and neither is Viserys, it's just nostalgia and balancing the situation between the great nobles and the great nobles.

Back in King's Landing, someone needed someone to check and balance Damon Targaryen, so he valued Otto Hightower, and someone wanted to distract Velaryon, so he chose Otto Hightower for his daughter's throne , he chose to marry Velaryon, how to balance the situation, he chose the Hightower family again and again...

It seems that His Majesty the King still doesn't understand what it means to raise tigers...

Unlike some historical monarchs that Ranila remembered before, they were very skilled at raising traitors, and then pushed everything to the traitors. Only the monarch was a white lotus, and everything was the fault of the traitors.

But Viserys just raised and raised and raised, and finally Hightower became queen, and it was too big to lose...

The fangs of Hightower's docile exterior startled Viserys and awakened his anger.

"Sir Otto Hightower, I order you to stop the power of the King's Hand immediately, and go home behind closed doors to reflect on your mistakes, and you and your family are not allowed to step out of the house!"

After the imperial meeting was over, the knights sent by Rhaenila respectfully sent Sir Otto into the door of his house, and then put their hands outside the door.

As for the good Jimmy Alison, uh, she still doesn't know what happened, her face is full of astonishment...

Rhaenyla had no choice but to bring it to Sir Otto's side in pain, so as to accompany her own father.

……

On an avenue outside the city of King's Landing, horses are galloping past.

The one who came outside the city was naturally Ranila. She set off to a farm just after the imperial meeting.

"Your Highness, what you asked the craftsmen to make has been successful!" After hearing the report from the knights under her command, Ranila rushed over without stopping.

Looking at the gray dust all over the ground, before Rhaenila could speak, an attendant helped her.

The dust and sand fused together, and then slowly became hard...

It finally worked!After many attempts, the correct formula was dug out from the depths of memory.

Rhaenyra was very happy and ordered to reward the artisans with a large sum of golden dragons.

To get rich, build roads first!
Rhaenyla got the best building material—cement.

The limestone was transported from the Vale of Arryn, and the clay was just transported from the Blackwater River. There were minerals in the territories of some minor nobles, and Rhaenyla spent great efforts to acquire many of them.

After pondering for a while, Rhaenyra asked Sir Harold who was in charge of this place. He came from a branch of the Darklin family in Duskendale Town and was once Sir Stephen Darklin's knight squire.

"Sir, increase the production of cement and send it to Brother Ramos who is in charge of repairing roads and toilets, and tell him that this is a new type of building material that I ordered to use!"

"I still need to recruit some craftsmen and people from the nobles and folks to expand the scale. In the future, I will transform this place into one of the royal industries. As for the raw materials and salary, you can find the financial officials in the Princess Mansion, and they will help you. Most importantly, you must keep it secret, do you know?"

Harold nodded solemnly, indicating that he knew.

Harold is one of the useful talents that Rhaenyla found from the people sent by the royal nobles. He is honest and responsible, which may be related to his origin. He is a knight of a branch family, just like Stark and Same with the Karstarks.

Stephen Ducklin is both a royal nobleman and an iron guard of the king's forest. Harold and he are both the iron guard of the queen in the original book.

With corrosion-resistant and high-hardness cement, the appearance of the city will definitely be greatly improved.And this is also a long-term benefit. If nobles are tempted by this kind of material, then Rhaenyla can lie down and earn gold dragons.

It's not easy!Has been bleeding financially, and now finally found one of the stable sources of money.

But it is necessary to increase the production, and let the nobles know that there are such good things!
Hurry up and buy the golden dragon hidden in your cellar!
