Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 206 Planned Sea Dragon Cape

Jon Snow was surprised to see Yang Xin who took the initiative to come to his door. In Jon Snow's impression, Robb Stark seldom took the initiative to talk to him. look.

"Hey, Jon, my brother, I heard that you are going to the Great Wall of Impassion to join the Night's Watch?" Yang Xin asked with a smile.

"Yes, although Winterfell is my home, you also know that I am an illegitimate child." Jon Snow said with a sad expression.

"I'll talk about the illegitimate child, let's talk about joining the Night Watch Corps first. I'm not stopping you from joining the Night Watch Corps. I just hope you can delay joining the Night Watch Corps for a while. I have an important thing to do ,, I hope you can help me." Yang Xin patted Jon Snow on the shoulder and said.

It was also a helpless move for Yang Xin to go to Jon Snow, because no one under Yang Xin was available.Let's talk about Bran, a little kid, busy climbing up and down Winterfell; then talk about Arya and Sansa, one of them is Erya and the other is Sansa, and they can't help at all ; Rickon Stark, a child of three...

The only one who can make a move is Jon Snow.It's quite sad to say that, as the eldest son of the Duke of Winterfell and the future master of Winterfell, Yang Xin doesn't even have a confidant, which shows how far Stark has withered.

Besides, Winterfell is not so much a castle as a military fortress. Its military use is far greater than its civilian use, and Winterfell is too small.

Jon Snow felt unusually surprised by Yang Xin's words, but Jon Snow could feel Yang Xin's importance to him from the words. Jon Snow, who was not valued since childhood, unexpectedly had a kind of The feeling of tears welling up in the eyes is all teenagers, who doesn't desire to be taken seriously.

"Say it!" said Jon Snow.

"Go out with me tomorrow." Yang Xin patted Jon Snow on the shoulder and left.

Back in his bedroom, Yang Xin found a map of the North and looked at it carefully.Although we can't flex our muscles now, we still need to make preliminary preparations and inspections.

If you want to solve the plight of the northern border, you must first have money and people. Neither of these things will be occupied by the northern border.The northern border is very large, but there are also many nobles. Yang Xin feels that the nobles in Westeros are somewhat similar to those in China during the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty.

When King Wu defeated Zhou, he brought 100 nobles with him. The so-called [-] nobles can be called nobles if the tribe is bigger. The same is true for the mainland of Westeros. Take the Glover family in Deep Forest Castle in the Wolf Forest as an example. , there are only more than [-] soldiers under him, such a nobleman, and there are three vassals of the forest clan, the tree trunk clan and the tree clan in the wolf forest.

There is also the Mormont family on Bear Island. Before the Battle of the Bastards, Jon Snow borrowed troops from Bear Island. At that time, the heir of Bear Island, Bear Island Lori Leanne Mormont, was absolutely loyal to Jon Snow. But with all the strength of the whole family, only 62 soldiers can be produced.

Even during the peak period of the Northern Territory, when Robb assembled all his army in the Northern Territory to avenge his father, there were only more than [-] people in the Northern Territory, and only then did the War of the Five Kings begin.Otherwise, don't call it the War of the Five Kings, but the War of the Five Village Chiefs.

At the time of the Great War, all the soldiers in the northern border could gather less than 2 soldiers. Calculated based on fifty people supplying one soldier, the total number of people in the northern border would be less than 100 million. In fact, Yang Xin's calculation is very exaggerated To be more realistic, there are 50 people in the northern border, Yang Xin, thank God, and these people are not all obeying the Stark family, they are obeying their respective lords. Wan would be nice.

No wonder the original book said that the total population of the Northern Territory is not as large as that of King's Landing City.

"Damn it, there are too few people in the northern border!" Yang Xin said bitterly.Population is a trivial matter. No one can buy it. This world allows people to be bought and sold. From the continent of Westeros across the Shivering Sea is the continent of Essos. Some of the free trade city-states there are slaves for sale. The key is how to get them in the shortest possible time. a lot of money.

The production cycle of soap, perfume and candles is too long, the effect is too slow, and there is a cost involved. Yang Xin thought about it all night and decided to use the geographical advantages of the northern border to make sea salt.Salt is an indispensable thing, and salt is expensive.

Early the next morning, Yang Xin greeted Eddard Stark after eating. In the name of hunting, he took Jon Snow and the two of them to the wolf forest in secret, and then walked along the Golo The forest path opened up by the Buddha family went straight to Deep Forest Castle.When he arrived at Shenlinbao, Yang Xin didn't stop, and went straight to Hailongjiao.

When he arrived at the northeast end of Hailong Island, Yang Xin stopped. The opposite of Hailong Point was Xiong Island. Yang Xin planned to build a salt field in an inner bay at the northeast end of Hailong Island.

Yang Xin originally planned to go south from Winterfell, pass through the Tombs of the First Men, and reach the Saltspear Flats, where he would make salt.But the Saltspear Flats belong to the territory of the Dustin family in Barrow Cairn.Although Ed Stark is the lord of the North, not all families in the North are loyal to the Stark family. Convinced on the surface but not convinced on the other, Yang Xin did not choose to build a salt farm on the salt flat, but chose Hailong Point.

Sea Dragon Point faces Bear Island in the north, the sea in the west, and Wolf Forest in the east and south. Whether it is the Glover family in Wolf Forest or the Mormont family in Bear Island, they are all loyal to the Stark family, at least in terms of safety. With security.

From a geographical point of view, it is actually the most convenient to build a salt farm between Bai Harbor and the old city in Bite Bay, but Bai Harbor is the largest port in the north, and it is too ostentatious to build a salt farm there. Cai's plan, so Yang Xin finally chose Hailongjiao.

As for the traffic problem, Yang Xin plans to assign Deepwood Castle to be in charge. The three vassals of the Glover family in Deepwood Castle, the Forest Clan, the Trunk Clan and the Tree Clan, were originally the aborigines of the Wolf Forest, and the Wolf Forest was their home. Well, the Wolf Forest Trail was opened up by them, and it was a piece of cake for them to be responsible for the transportation.

After the inspection, Yang Xin directly paid for it out of his own pocket and asked the Glover family of Deep Forest Castle to build a house in the place chosen by Yang Xin. He first completed the preliminary preparations.

There is nothing else in Wolf Forest except that there is a lot of wood, and production is not possible in winter. The people in Deep Forest Castle have nothing to do. So, under the leadership of the Glover family, everyone started building houses. According to Yang Xin’s plan, at least To build a house for 500 people, Yang Xin paid eleven gold bars.

Ten gold bars are the cost of building a house, and one gold bar is the sealing fee.The head of the Glover family, the Earl of Deepwood Castle, Galbert Glover, is not very smart, but he also knows what to ask and what not to ask, what to say and what not to say. The eldest son, Galbert Glover, silently put away the gold bars, and then directed people to build the house.

After dealing with all this, Yang Xin hurried back to Winterfell with Jon Snow.

"Robb, the important thing you said was to let me run with you back and forth in the wolf forest?" Jon Snow couldn't help asking on the way back to Winterfell.
