Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

The atmosphere was extremely heated for a while.

All the lords and nobles are immersed in a huge sense of honor and mission.

Domeric walked straight to the main seat in front of the oak table, holding a stack of parchment in his hand.

Everyone cast their eyes expectantly, they were about to enjoy the fruits of victory!

Chapter 265: Just a dwarf, there is still a chance

“The gold mines in Golden Tooth City are a huge wealth, but mining them is not an easy task.

If we were to mine it, we would probably waste a lot of manpower and material resources... and there would also be conflicts over the distribution of the gold mines.

Therefore, I plan to entrust it to the Free City State on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and the merchants there who are good at smelting minerals will be in charge.

And everyone sitting here can get their own share of the mined minerals.

In addition, I will also use an extra part of it to maintain the defense force of Golden Teeth City..."

Domeric's voice was unhurried, slow but clear and powerful, constantly echoing throughout the chamber.

…………

For a moment, the entire hall was immersed in discussion.

The lords and nobles were scratching their heads, exchanging opinions with each other, and trying their best to use their brains to weigh their own interests.

"Lord Domeric, are those merchants from the Free City really reliable?"

Count Beneda, who has a pear-shaped belly, was the first to put forward his own point of view:

"I don't doubt that there is something wrong with your plan. What if those merchants from the Free City State deceive us, or deliberately hide the true benefits of gold mining..."

"What Count Beneda said makes sense!"

Domeric rubbed his chin and spoke in a calm tone. It was obvious that he had already thought about these issues:

"In order to ensure the openness and transparency of mining profits, each lord has the right to send his own cronies to serve as supervisors during the mining process... In this way, even if the merchants of the Free City State deliberately cheat, they will never be able to hide it from your eyes. !”

Then several nobles put forward their opinions one after another, but they were all persuaded by Domeric one by one.

…………

"Lord Domeric, what you did is so clever!"

Sir Lynn Corbray of Hearts City stood up and responded:

"I thought you would allocate part of the minerals for us to mine separately, but if we waited for the craftsmen in Xinsu City to mine the gold, our Corbray family might have gone bankrupt long ago!"

Sir Lyn has been worried about how to monetize the spoils he gained on the battlefield.

Now that they are taken over by merchants from the Free City State, these gold mines will be cashed in as quickly as possible, and the Corbray family will soon receive a steady stream of profits.

Many nobles then started discussing...

Until the discussion subsided, everyone approved Domeric's plan.

So, Domilik threw out a list of shares of the "gold mine".

Basically, they are divided according to the contribution of each lord and noble in this war.

Of course, some nobles burst into laughter when they saw that their part of the income exceeded their expectations, while others were dissatisfied because their income was too small.

These issues will be discussed and improved at this meeting...

The meeting lasted long into the night.

This profit distribution meeting involving many nobles ended successfully. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that a steady stream of gold would soon fly into their hands...

Among the crowd, Domeric showed a smile hidden behind his deep eyes.

Just using the gold mines of Golden Tooth City, the nobles of the Northern Territory, Valley, Riverland, and even Wangling were firmly tied to their chariots.

If Duke Tywin dares to attack Golden Teeth City!

In order to defend their property, wouldn't these lords and nobles risk their lives to fight the Lannister?

…………

after the meeting.

Domeric called the "little devil" Tyrion Lannister to his bedroom alone.

He walked to the window and looked out into the night:

"Sir Tyrion, your Miss Tessa, I have sent someone to secretly bring her back from Casterly Rock. If nothing else happens, you will be able to see each other soon."

"Lord Domeric, I am so grateful for your concern."

The respect and attention of the nobles made Tyrion, who had suffered discrimination, feel intoxicated.

What surprised him even more was that he actually had a share in the profits from the gold mine in Golden Tooth City?

Does this mean that he is regarded as "one of his own" by the King's Hand?

Tyrion bowed sincerely and said, "I hope I can repay your kindness."

"Of course you can!" Domeric said bluntly.

"I wonder what you want me to do?" Tyrion felt a little uneasy.

To be honest, his current situation is a bit embarrassing.

As the noble second son of Lannister, he stabbed his father, Lord Tywin, in the back.

Even before the meeting, Domeric used "loyalty to the kingdom" to excuse him.

But Tyrion knows that his reputation is completely ruined in the aristocratic circle. Compared with his brother "Kingslayer", he is not far behind!

Although Tyrion was temporarily hot-headed and surrendered under the "Tyssa Incident" and a series of malicious treatment by his father Tywin.

But if he really makes him an enemy of Tywin and an enemy of Lannister.

That really makes him a human being inside and out!

In Tyrion's anxious but expectant eyes.

Domeric said in a serious tone:

"My Royal Council is still short of a Sea Lord. I wonder if Lord Tyrion is interested?"

"This?" Tyrion was speechless for a moment.

In fact, in Domeric's view, Tyrion's internal affairs abilities are more suitable for the important position of "Minister of the Exchequer".

But when he was in King's Landing, Domeric had already given this important position to the fat Earl Wyman of the Mandalay family, in order to completely pull White Harbor into his own chariot.

Now, all the seats in the Royal Council are occupied, but the post of Minister of Sea Affairs is vacant.

"Sir, you are not joking."

Tyrion chuckled to hide his surprise.

Domeric was not in a joking mood: "Do you think I am joking?"

After a moment, he said in a deep tone:

"Our enemies are not only Lord Tywin, Stannis and Renly of House Baratheon, King Balon of the Iron Islands, or the Targaryens across the Narrow Sea...

Winter is coming, the long night is coming, and a dark force will sweep from the north.

If the Seven Kingdoms were not fully prepared, God knows how miserable the outcome would be.

So, Lord Tyrion, I need your power..."

Seeing that the "Hand of the King" was talking about this, the "little devil" did not dare to be pretentious.

He kneeled on the ground and said seriously:

"If I don't agree to your promise tonight, God knows how miserable the end will be!"

"Hahaha..." Domeric couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, smart people talk easily!

Immediately afterwards, Domeric brought up another topic:

"The captured knights of the Western Lords and Lannister soldiers in the 'Battle of Harrenhal' and 'The Bend's Bench' are still imprisoned in Riverrun, and now there are a number of more prisoners in the 'Battle of the Golden Teeth'.

Since Lord Tywin is unwilling to pay a ransom for them, we will not waste food to feed them... so..."

"My lord, what are you going to do with them?"

Tyrion secretly thought, he wouldn't kill them all!

"I can pardon those who are willing to repent of their mistakes and let them continue to serve the kingdom. The remaining ones who are stubborn, I will directly transport them to Gushanling to work as slave labor. You may not know that there is a very shortage of manpower there..."

"My lord, if you are willing, I can try to persuade those less stubborn guys to return their allegiance to the kingdom." Tyrion volunteered.

"Then it's up to you."

Domeric smiled with satisfaction...

…………

Late at night, the "little devil" returned to his residence.

He was not full at the dinner, and even after robbing Lord Yohn of a leg of lamb, Tyrion was still hungry.

While Alayaya was preparing supper for him, Tyrion climbed to the desk and read a book alone.

This is a long-standing habit of the "little devil".

The content described in the book is a battle that took place during the "War of Conquest".

The former King of Casterly Rock, Loren, once joined forces with King Meng of the Reach to resist the Targaryen conquest.

That was about 300 years ago. At that time, the Seven Kingdoms were really independent kingdoms, rather than territories under the unified country today.

The two armies totaled more than 600 lords and nobles, [-] cavalry, and more than [-] mercenaries and infantry.

According to records in the book, Aegon the Conqueror's military strength was only about one-fifth of his opponent's.

Most of them were recruited from the enemy armies he had defeated before, and their loyalty was questionable.

The two armies met in the fertile plains along the river bend, and fought in the golden wheat fields that were full of fruits and waiting for harvest.
