Chapter 370 The Gift and The Spider's Attack
The so-called "gift" is that Igor left Eastwatch by boat , Come to Dragonstone Think long and hard day and night in a small cabin on the way, a book specially written for Daenerys.

Well, that's obviously an exaggeration. The so-called contemplation and hard thinking are completely out of the question. Although every word on it is newly written, the content has been brewing in Igor's chest for a long time. When he picks up the pen, he thinks like a spring, and he has the words at hand. As for the length, it is not so much A book, or should be said to be a long article, is mainly divided into upper and lower parts.

The first part is very short, mainly using the advantage of being familiar with the plot and characters, writing to "snipe" Daenerys · Targaryen's special emotional card - Dragonmother as the core character with the third most plot lines in the story , Igor, of course, has read about her character analysis and inner interpretation. In the first half, the content is actually an ideal of Daenerys for a long time buried deep in my heart, with a little bit of excess self-consciousness: breaking the wheel of history, ending exploitation, eliminating oppression, and creating a new world!

Of course, the specific content has become a lot more euphemistic after proper rhetoric and foreshadowing. It is not so straightforward and secondary, but the meaning is quite different - the purpose is to make Dragon Queen after reading this paragraph, heartbroken. I have a feeling of "hard to find friends", and I am interested in and looking forward to more content below.

The second part has more content.

This part is inspired by a world-famous political book Igor read before crossing: "The Prince".

Speaking of the significance of this book in the history of the West and even human beings, it is too great - this is the first book that has clearly got rid of the constraints of theology and ethics, and opened up a direction for politics and law. A system book for independent discipline paths. The title of the book can actually be called: "How to be ruthless and black-belly but run the country efficiently and smoothly", which mainly discusses the way of being a monarch, what conditions and skills a monarch should possess, how to conquer the world and defend it, etc... It's not One of the cornerstones of modern political thought just in name only, but also in reality.

Different from pure copywriting, Igor deleted all the redundant and incompatible content with Westeros status quo, and only took the most high-quality and most eye-catching parts. Great work, condensed into the most quintessential summary. Not only that, he also changed the part of the history book, from Earth history, to the matching data from the history of ice and fire, especially the history of Westeros, and on this basis, he added from other miscellaneous but equally excellent political documents. The extracted core reflections and discussions, combined with the personal experience of oneself being the Lord Commander before and after being the Lord Commander, were fine-tuned and modified in the land-grant rule and change... Finally, a book that is most suitable for the reality of the world of ice and fire is produced. A hugely helpful magic version of The Prince.

Of course, it's impossible to write so much content in less than a week, so Igor is still a dog out of context at the end of this booklet... The whole "Lun" is complete in terms of topics, and the content is not lacking. Nothing, but it definitely makes Daenerys feel like it's coming to a screeching halt where it's most exciting -- unforgettable and unbearable.

Where is the rest of the content? Of course it was in Igor's head.

 …

In all fairness, give Petyr or Varys a full writing team and enough material, and they will also be able to write a politics that is not too bad or even more suitable for ruling Westeros. Suggestions come, but "can" is not "will": no matter what happens, these two conspirators with their own intrigues are absolutely impossible to sum up the oneself's lifelong learning and understanding in book form and send it to the Queen.

The truth is simple: give a man a fish is not as good as teaching a man to fish, of course it is true, but for Varys and Petyr, who make a living by "fishing", it is an absolute fallacy - compared to Teach Daenerys to "fish" - how to make independent judgments, they prefer to bake the fish directly to the Queen - and then tell or advise her what to do when she encounters specific things...

This It is the role of the doormen and staff. If you teach Queen all abilities, then their own role and importance will be greatly reduced, becoming insignificant, and they will face the situation of rabbits and dogs at any time.

But Igor doesn't have that concern: he's not a fisherman, he's a captain. Even if he wants to defect to someone in the future, he will definitely join in the form of a "partner" with his own resources and team. No matter what happens, he's never going to be Daenerys' or anyone else's staff...in that case, he'd be more than happy to tear it down, present Buddha with borrowed flowers, take something "Petyr and Varys would be even more proficient at" , but makes Queen feel that oneself is more powerful than these two people.

＊＊＊

Daenerys is curious about the booklet, but it's not worth spending a lot of time in public to read the details. Smoothing out the silk covering the cover and gently placing it by her side, the little Queen intends to watch it in private time after the interview.

At this moment, Varys, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke with a smirk and sullenness: "I swear to be neutral and impartial? It's very beautiful, then I want to invite Lord Commander. Explain - why the Night's Watch industry you built with your own hands, when the pseudo-king Stannis established the King's Landing defense system, provided the garrison with a large number of heavy crossbows for the air, leaving Your Majesty with three dragons useless. What about the land?"

And this?

The Spider's sudden attack made Igor a completely unprepared one - a detail he really didn't know!

Having said that, even if you know it, it is impossible to do anything.

When the Night's Watch Industrial Park had just gained a foothold and started to develop, Igor once started a business: making venture capital in inventions and creations, and picking out the profitable ones and putting them into large-scale production to make money.

The idea that popped out of my head, the prototype comes from the modern world, the starting point is good, but it is not very suitable for the ice and fire world with backward productivity. In the process of the continuous development and growth of the "doll" of the industry into a Giant, it will naturally be gradually eliminated - the relevant departments have made reasonable changes to the original plan proposed by the founder: it has been gradually transformed from the "Venture Investment Department" into a "Technology R&D Department" - no longer sponsors irrelevant people, but constantly searches for talented people with ingenuity or agility and signs contracts with them, and fixes them as employees of the Night's Watch industry in the form of basic salary, so as to make Their wisdom has been transformed into the research and development capabilities of the industry itself, and over time, their technological foundation has become stronger and stronger.

Today, the industrial park has not only developed into the largest manufacturer of Seven Kingdoms, but also the most dynamic and technologically advanced R&D and manufacturing enterprise. Governance and entanglement of interests are even more tangled and complicated, and non-front-line managers can't figure it out at all. The industry is based on King's Landing, uses the site belonging to Iron Throne, enjoys the tax-exempt privileges chartered by House Baratheon, the management of employment, and the employees are the children of the Lord of Seven Kingdoms... Igor impossible blindly directs and tells Nina who Money can be made, and whose business should not be done.

Mother of Dragons hadn't arrived at Dragonstone before Stannis started deploying. Would the Night's Watch industry dare to refuse the king's order, obviously capable of improving and producing this weapon, but not making or selling it to the king? ?
If you really dare to do that, I'm afraid that the Night's Watch industry will be confiscated and turned into state-owned assets in minutes, and it will not be Igor's turn to work hard to protect it.
