Chapter 118 Privileges!

Outside the tent, the loud roars and cheers of the carnival soldiers came in through the curtains, in stark contrast to the silence inside the tent. Under the gazes of countless nobles, Igor's body began to tremble slightly - he didn't expect it It's a little bit underprepared that Robert will use this "make you make a wish" form of merit and reward.

Please Your Majesty remove my Night's Watch status!

The words almost blurted out, but reason gave Igor the last hold.

Is this requirement "outrageous" for Robert? Igor can't make a judgment, but he knows that Robert has the strength to make this decision, and if he declares that Igor is a free man from today, one of the citizens of the Seven Kingdoms, Mormont will never dare to openly reply half "No".

How about Eddie's level? As the prime minister of a country, he has the right to refute and fight back the king's decrees and decisions. From a legal point of view - the king has the right to support the illegitimate child as orthodox, but he is not qualified to pardon the Night's Watch and take off the black clothed, which has been for thousands of years. It is so. If Ed insists on following the rules, Robert won't take any reason at all... Even if the "king's authority" finally overcomes the "prime minister's honesty", oneself will become Ed's thorn in the side, and being a citizen of Seven Kingdoms will be offended Prime Minister, can you have a good time?

And what about the Night's Watch industry? Restoring the free oneself, but there is no reason to handle and manage this already rudimentary production enterprise and financial empire. At this time, Mormont can send anyone casually and can take away all the industries named Night's Watch. Eddard Stark might even help out in preventing oneself from transferring assets!
Moreover, regardless of other people's thoughts and objective conditions, only from a personal subjective point of view - Igor has also gradually become accustomed to the identity of Night's Watch, and began to enjoy the privileges of wearing black clothed and being the chief logistics officer . Not to mention too much, the "never need to go to the battlefield" is enough to benefit oneself for a lifetime in this era of cheap human life.

[Not under the jurisdiction of any force, not loyal to anyone, not obeying anyone's orders...] A smart person can see at a glance how much development potential these rules have. Wearing black clothed, although he bears the oath, the privileges he enjoys are far from being replaced by a "citizenship" that has no practical effect. With the existing special status, he is the only member of the Seven Kingdoms and can really be completely People who "rely on oneself ability" to obtain ascending channels and status.

(actively throw away this advantage and start mixing from civilians?)

Igor unimaginable —— After giving up the identity of Night's Watch, what kind of risk and how much effort will the oneself go through? , can you stand again among the actual controllers of the Seven Kingdoms around, chat and laugh with a bunch of Knights and counts, and even face the king?

"What?" Robert became impatient, but compared to his performance at the last battle meeting, this time he treated the hero who saved oneself's face. Too gentle: "If you think about it for a while, then sit on the side for a while, drink some wine and eat some meat, and then talk to me after you think about it."

"No, Your Majesty, I figured it out." Igor lifts the head, trying his best to suppress his excitement and nervousness: "You can say I want anything, there is no limit to the number."

"Uh...no, but too much It's outrageous, let's add a limit, three things that don't violate the law and the Night's Watch oath."

"I only need two things." Igor whispered to luck, determined to retreat. In fact, he only needs one piece, but he needs another piece for foreshadowing and cover: "The first piece, the Alchemist Guild in the center of King's Landing, for a long time, has been ordered by you to keep the Wildfire left from the previous dynasty, this thing is warming The south of the city is dangerous, but it can be quite stable in the cold The Wall. I want to ask Your Majesty to order, let the Alchemist Guild deal with the Wildfire stored in King's Landing as soon as possible, leave only the assistant to manage, and the Master who is familiar with Wildfire preparation— —That is, Pyromancers, go to the Night's Watch in the north to grant land to provide this weapon for the Wall Garrison."

"Write it down!" As long as you don't talk about money, Robert relaxed, facing the squire on the side I glanced at it: "What about the second one?"

"Beyond the wall, more than 100,000 wildling begin to stir, and urgently need support, but Iron Throne... can't help it." Igor wanted to say financial difficulties, but was afraid Robert couldn't accept such a blunt revelation, so he changed his words, "Night's Watch understood the difficulties Your Majesty encountered, so they decided to be self-reliant - I set up the management logistics department, and I am starting to try to raise funds on my own at King's Landing. , purchasing food supplies, and training new recruits."

Most of the people present are already familiar with the Night's Watch industry, and even Robert oneself has heard sporadic news. After all, every book on the market, including the small yellow booklet, has the producer's small print on the back cover in this arrangement: "Well -- let's go on."

"But one thing, It's really frustrating." This matter was so important that Igor had to say a lot of nonsense to cover up his true intentions: "Every business that provides logistical support for Night's Watch has to pay taxes to Iron Throne like ordinary businessmen— —It was supposed to be Iron Throne who funded Night's Watch to fight against Others, but now it's the other way around, and the money we finally earned is actually going to be fed back to Iron Throne, instead of being fully converted into materials for Wall..."

"Okay, Night's Watch buys food, grass and armaments... alas... Forget it, all activities carried out by Night's Watch in the Seven Kingdoms are tax-free!"

Robert is more than expected On the road, but as soon as the words came out, the king, who was not yet drunk, finally realized what was wrong in the uniform soft exclamations and cold breaths of the surrounding Seven Kingdoms nobles: "Wait... No names are allowed, only real, The man who swore to see Wall's Night's Watch...doesn't have tax-exemption if he handles the event himself!"

"Your Majesty!" The Kingsguard had a duty to dissuade the king of his absurd behavior, and Barristan standing beside him A little anxious: "Rules are for exploiting loopholes, and these restrictions you add have no effect at all - swear, go to the Wall for two more days to get gold plating, and everything this person does from now on will no longer be necessary. Taxes? Within ten years, Your Majesty's subjects will be Night's Watch!"

Robert also found that there was something wrong with oneself's words, but he was a man, and as long as he was a man, he said it smoothly After going to Haikou, he will face the dilemma of "suffering to face the crime". He could not take back the words of oneself: "That's it! Others killer! Only you, you do the activities yourself, and you don't need to pay taxes!"

"Your Majesty!" The old Kingsguard didn't know whether to cry or laugh , this restriction seems very strict, but it's still useless, except that the end will be - in ten years, the Seven Kingdoms will all become Igor's men Night's Watch too. Complete tax-exempt privilege, simply should not be present in Westeros under the feudal system!
"Enough, don't say it!" Westeros' first irritable Old Brother attacked again, he paused the glass in his hand again, and splashed the wine: "Others killer, I am here to warn you in advance, this privilege is It is given to you alone, you are not allowed to assign or let others enjoy it! It's too outrageous, but I will take it back!"

Set up a vague bottom line - just like the final interpretation right, It's a useful restriction anyway, Barristan sighed, not going against the already angry Robert.

"Okay, let's go." Robert looked a little unhappy, but after all, it was a good day, he drank the remaining wine in the glass, and the alcohol quickly numbed his chest and annoyed: "Next, Robb— —What do you want? Don't be dilly-dallying like the guy in front of you!"

"many thanks Your Majesty." Igor suppressed his ecstasy and retreated to oneself's seat. He originally just wanted to get the tax exemption for the factories under the name of Night's Watch industry, but who knows that the harvest is far more than that - the tax exemption privilege for oneself. With this thing, as long as Mormont's mind is still clear, oneself will never have to worry about being attacked. Overhead or recall! As for restrictions: in the future, oneself will probably have to run around often to show up, so that the ever-expanding Night's Watch industry will continue to add a "tax-free" buff!
oneself may not be one of the most powerful men in Seven Kingdoms anytime soon, but at least it will soon be among the highest paying Seven Kingdoms players.

Back to his seat, a beautiful girl next to him raised a glass to him - Margaery Tyrell, being a female, was naturally not good at attending battle meetings, so she did not witness Igor's offer. But this celebration banquet is no problem: "The chief logistics officer is really amazing, the little girl admires it!"

"Mutually each other, compared with tax exemption, tax collectors like the Tyrell family are the real winners. Well." Igor couldn't hide his pride, he knew that as long as oneself didn't play the privilege too much like the ancient temples of the Celestial Dynasty, with Robert's temper, even if he regretted it later, he would never swallow what he said.

There are only no nobles in this big tent, but at this moment, they have become the focus of attention of nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms. It’s hard to make money without spending money. Compared with Robert, the arm-flinging shopkeeper who likes to push things to the Master of Coin, the rest of the patriarchs and heads of countries, N-in-chiefs, etc.… As long as someone who has managed taxes, They all know what tax-free means.

Although it's not enough to be jealous - but this little Night's Watch's means are really amazing.

So many people were so focused on Igor that when Robb Stark walked to the center of the tent and told Robert what oneself wanted for the reward, few people listened to Young Wolf seriously .

But this youngster from North, the future Duke Stark, still managed to pull everyone's attention back with a single sentence.

The tent became lively again. Some people were cheering and cheering. Some people were surprised. Even Igor spit out the sip of wine he just toasted to Little Rose. He thought Cersei was this counter-insurgency. The biggest winner of the war, just now felt that oneself was the only one, but now he realized that there was someone else.

Robb Stark lowered his knees to Robert one-knee kneels, raised his breaths deeply and said, "Roslin Frey, the daughter of Walder Frey Marquess, fell in love at first sight, please marry Your Majesty!"
