Chapter 186 How the Godfather Made It

Ignoring Igor's suggestion to let her rest for a day or two, Nina insists on going to the office with him to work. The first time in personnel affairs made her movements a little awkward and awkward, but the dazzling brilliance that had been nourished and radiated, the satisfaction and happiness of being pampered by her lover could not be concealed...for a long time, she would Sitting there, there was an inexplicable smile, and the staff in the office who did not understand the complete truth saw it and thought she was stimulated by mental disorder.

Fortunately, she didn't delay the task that should be shared for Igor. After completely frankly meeting and establishing a relationship, Nina seems to have been dispelled by the bad buff of "being suppressed by Igor's IQ", and the efficiency is still quite high.

...

Without Arya, a super high-quality first-hand intelligence source, Igor's understanding of the current situation can only be gathered from rumors and the girls in the "Night's Watch brothel" here comes. The important news that can be heard temporarily seems to be only "Westerlands sent troops to attack Riverlands". If the news is true, Tywin should have decided to have a hard time with Robert.

The situation changes rapidly and abnormally. It is also Iron Throne who leads six countries to fight one country, but this battle is completely different from Vale's counter-insurgency. Vale is already in the middle of the pack, Lords Declarant is only composed of a few nobles, and the Westerlands However, it is powerful and the House Lannister family dominates... Without the natural danger of Mountains of the Moon this level, this is destined to be a bloody war.

The rumours of the paper have evolved to this day, and the situation has completely exceeded his ability as a Night's Watch chief logistics officer to interfere... If he has rashly intervened in the royal scandal spread by Littlefinger, it may only cause him to fall into Trouble, that in this carnival of the whole Westeros beating the Westerlands, a little Igor West, really can't lift the slightest wave.

I don't want to worry about eating radishes, and then almost fall in the sewer... Igor will not do it again, he decisively decides not to intervene in the war, and only care about oneself. If the Westerlands are defeated, at worst go there in person and try to make Tyrion put on black clothed to save his life.

The Night's Watch industry oneself also has a bunch of stuff to deal with. Bonds are the first to bear the brunt: as the war brews, a new round of redemptions begins. Fortunately, with the accumulated word-of-mouth from the previous war withstanding the test, plus the cash injection obtained from the previous sale of patents, Igor easily withstood this round of tests, but the capital chain has shrunk significantly... but let To his surprise, the loss of cash flow was quickly made up from a completely unexpected place: he did not hold out hope, but just created a "Night's Watch donation box", which can be used every day these days. The plug is full, and the daily income is as high as dozens of Golden Dragon.

Igor initially thought it was because the social responsibility and wealth level of the residents of King's Landing exceeded expectations, but Nina gave her a little attention, and she reported a message that people didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The result: less than ten percent of the donations were made by normal residents, and the rest came from the soldiers of the garrison.

To be precise, the half of the "King's Landing local recruits, without any background backers" garrison soldiers.

 …

"There are also two types of garrison soldiers who donated money. One is those who were exploited and exploited by Slynt. After that guy fell from power and lost his head, he was no longer deducted from the army. Their income has doubled at once. You are very grateful to the adults, so you consciously ran to donate, often ten days and half a month's salary as soon as you make a move... Some even ask the staff under the donation box to tell them to you Thank you and respect." Nina said, staring at Igor with big watery eyes, as if she was expressing admiration for those golden robes. After piercing that layer of window paper, she finally stopped dodging the man's gaze: "The other type is the Dongying soldiers who were originally subordinate to Slynt, their former boss was brought down, everyone - especially the officers, the whole I was in a state of anxiety and fear of being liquidated. You asked me to tell me that 'cooperating with the Prime Minister's investigation of Slynt is their only way out', and these people acted like a life-saving straw."

"And then, it just so happened that on the day you were released and participated in the trial, an amnesty order came... no matter what actually happened, they felt that you were letting them go." She paused, as if I find it interesting: "And the Prime Minister caught you and let it go... In the eyes of some people, it has become a cover up, and the more you describe it, the more black it is, but it is confirmed that the Prime Minister is our backer. These money are not so much donations, but more It's more like a protection fee and a meeting gift - they have always wanted to see you, and they probably want to recognize you as the new boss, so that they can have peace of mind."

"Acknowledge me as the new boss? Hehe—thanks they figured it out." Igor chuckled, Slynt's death sentence was not dismissed in the end, and Ed did not send anyone to communicate with oneself's refusal to join the application. Now that I think about it, Hand of the King is now It is estimated that he is too busy to die, how can he have time to manage the life and death of a Slynt? Since he ordered a pardon, it must be true, no joke.

But those garrison officers don't know Duke Stark as well as Igor, and they're having a hard time these days--don't know if the amnesty is serious or just a tactic to appease them. Guilty people are scared. Ordinary person who has never done bad things can't understand how crazy he can think when he breaks his courage: "What advice do you have?"

"I think you can pick a time to meet with me, half bluff. Banfu took these people for his own use... The business of the Night's Watch industry in the city will grow bigger and bigger, and it will be much more convenient if there is the 'cooperation' of the garrison."

 …

Nina's suggestion awakened Igor, his eyes lit up.

In this ignorant era, there are not so many administrative departments in the city. Take King's Landing as an example. The garrison is not only a city defense force, but also performs the duty of maintaining law and order. When the order is poor, it is the city management department. Then I have to carry a bucket and turn into a fire brigade... Even the tax officer often brings a few or a squid as escort and bodyguard when he goes to collect taxes. Now, half of the golden robes of King's Landing under the control of the Crownlands princes are destined to be allies of the industry. If oneself can exert influence and even control over the remaining half, it is like a businessman in the modern world. A businessman can be said in many government grassroots management departments. In the same way, it is almost unimaginable how convenient it can be to do things.

Not to mention, that Alaral Deem, who was originally Slynt's cronie, but finally stood up in court to testify against the former boss, according to the investigation, seems to have a gangster background - King's Landing big and small hooligans at least Half of them listened to him, and what they could or couldn't do depended on his face. The nobles of this world, aloof and remote, often ignore the existence of low-level civilians and idle people in society, but Igor is a modern person, and he is very clear about the importance of mastering public opinion and having some capable "dirty" men...Night's The Watch industry has established interest ties with a large number of Crownlands families. If oneself can conquer Yalar Deem and some of the garrison and the underworld, wouldn't it be like a tiger that has grown wings, and it's really "black and white", Become the godfather of King's Landing?

＊＊＊

In rumors, he, the Chief Logistics Officer of Night's Watch, has a rather polarized reputation: in the eyes of ordinary people who do not know what the inside story is, he is The adventurer who came across the sea from the other side of the Sunset Sea is the high-level officer of Night's Watch Legion, the Killer of Others, and the warrior who hates evil and dares to confront the notorious former garrison commander as soon as he comes to King's Landing; In the eyes of employees and soldiers, he is omnipotent, hands-on and eye-catching, and he is an approachable Big Boss; in the eyes of those who know a little bit about the inside story, and even influenced by the commercial and political activities of the Night's Watch industry, he is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. His commercial genius, martial skill is amazing, God of Wealth of Three Heads Six Arms, a new big guy with superb methods and a strong background, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, seeking revenge for the slightest grievance!
Or myth or demonic transformation...Under the effect of human-to-human transmission, the more mysterious the more Igor, Igor has become the most powerful non-aristocratic social person in the Seven Kingdoms, and it is no wonder that the golden robe sons in Dongying who have lost their protective umbrellas, think Run under his hand.

Igor hesitated in the face of taking the initiative to surrender. He knows how many catties and how many taels oneself is. Not only is oneself not as powerful as others imagine, but this time to overthrow Slynt is even the first time he has seen this kind of power struggle. With "steadiness" and his teammates, he barely won the game. Bureau... But on second thought, whoever is born can do anything? There are many Legendary organizations and powerful people in this world, such as Iron Vault, Faceless Men, Tywin Lannister, and a few of them can truly be not just in name only, but also in reality, as powerful as legends Or talented?

I'm afraid there won't be one, but the winner is king.

Power is in the heart, believers have it, and don't believe it doesn't. Proper use of this move of bluffing can not only improve the morale of oneself, but also make the enemy fearful, and make the walled grass acknowledge allegiance... As long as you play well, and constantly improve the true strength under the mask of oneself, how about playing one more role? Oneself can fool around with characters like Robert, Ed, and Renly, can't they deal with a Yarald Dim?
I don't know how to be the boss, let's learn! Only by forcing oneself can one know how much potential oneself has!
Thinking everything, Igor made a quick decision. Slynt has left a big "legacy" to oneself. After this village, there is no longer this store. The departure of Tyrion, a god teammate, has created a huge management and operation vacuum. ...oneself, this boss who has already been mixed with a god outfit, is not going to fill in, do you still expect to jump out of the second Tyrion to help?

＊＊＊

"Our daily necessities and obsidian will be on the market soon," Igor said after making up his mind: "Today or tomorrow, arrange a time with Yarar and me. ·Let's meet Dim, no matter if you can conquer it or not, you can't become an enemy anymore. Making money matters, you don't have time to fight people all day long. Besides, I will sort out the list left by Tyrion. Just these days, I will visit the door in person, Meet the investors and supporters behind us one by one."

As the Boss of the Night's Watch industry, if oneself doesn't even know how many resources he has in his hands, how can we talk about everything else?

Things went much smoother than expected. Nina just sent the news of Igor's intention to meet with her to Dongying. The original intention was to make an appointment to have a meal together and get to know each other... Who wants Yalar? ·Dim, the dignified Dongying Branch Captain who manages 200 golden robe sons, didn't say a word about what he was doing, and eagerly ran across the street into the office. Igor was thinking about how to bluff him. Who would have thought that this guy would be an adult in his words and respectful in his actions... When he came up, he directly acted like a mouse sees a cat, and little brother worshipped big brother. He even skipped the process of subduing and went straight I asked Igor "what are your orders".

Igor was really stunned for a few seconds, and took a lot of effort to swallow the expression in his stomach - deterrence is really the most powerful weapon... God knows what image oneself is in the eyes of these people ?
After "instructing" Yarald Dim not to bring his brother to the door to donate money indiscriminately, and asking him to facilitate the expansion of the Night's Watch industry's new store, the Dongying garrison's Captain left. The world is wonderful - obviously he is helping Igor work for free or even subsidized money, but with the kind of happiness or security that arises in the bottom of my heart that "oneself is still useful to great characters, as long as you perform well"... dignified A middle and high-ranking officer of the garrison, after "seeing" Igor, actually left with gratitude and glee.

(This is also a real villain.) Looking at the back of Yarar's departure, Igor's experience and understanding of the phrase "power lies in the heart" has reached a higher level, and reminded secretly in his heart Oneself can only use and cannot trust such things. Although things went well, he was not complacent. The deterrent power possessed by oneself comes from a series of coincidences. This kind of "power" is like rowing a boat upstream, if you stop moving forward you fall back. If you want to maintain it, only acting skills It's not enough, you have to keep getting stronger.

……

The ghoul escort team, Perfection, completed the mission. After enjoying the hospitality of the brother industry for a few days, it was finally time to delay, carrying a bunch of souvenirs and hard work. Satisfied to board the boat and returned to The Wall, leaving only one Alliser Thorne on the transfer order.

Realizing that oneself couldn't get around Igor's involvement in the Night's Watch industry, the old hedgehog finally took the initiative to hand over Commander Mormont's certificate to Igor, and asked him to assign oneself a post in the logistics department.

Igor arranged.

The Crownlands army is gathering on both sides of Goldroad west of King's Landing. Although Robert was injured, he was unable to lead personally bringing troops into the battle, but he brought Igor with him last time absurdly, and this time he sent people again. What is the "Night's Watch with the army", Tyrion is not there, the industry can no longer be without the manager of oneself, so Alliser Thorne won this honor.

The old hedgehog was of course dissatisfied with Igor's move to drive away oneself, but he was not as good as others and was suppressed by the military rank. After arguing and protesting a few words, he was forced to accept the arrangement. When Igor didn't plan to cast aside all considerations for face with "oneself people" too early, this trip to the west not only gave Alliser enough living expenses, but also arranged for him two entourages-named valet, but actually for the sake of oneself staring at the Old Guy's every word, every move.

Alliser is a nasty guy, but not outright villain...that's the consensus of many Night's Watches, be that as it may, Igor will never give anyone the chance to fuck oneself again .

……

The Night's Watch industry swayed a few times in this big wave that shook the six countries. Relying on the huge stature and the correct judgment of the controller, the hull was stabilized, and all the hard work came. After going through a lot of turmoil, I finally got some good news: Eddard Stark sent someone to transport the ghoul to the office and ordered Night's Watch to dispose of it by himself. Igor personally came forward to ask the reason, and got a ridiculous reply:

The king's wounds healed slowly. High Septon claimed that it was because of evil spirits in the Red Keep. After deliberation, the final decision was made: the most obvious "unclean thing", the ghoul, was taken out of the Red Keep.
