Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 716: Collapsed Internal Affairs

After an evening of communication, Ye Junwen quickly understood one thing, that is, it is really very difficult to communicate with a magic stick.What Ye Junwen wanted to ask most was how Melisandre could hate herself, but Melisandre seemed to want to persuade Ye Junwen to believe in the Lord of Light. Regarding her own affairs, basically Didn't say anything either.

After the two talked all night, Ye Junwen expressed that he was really tired.The next morning, Ye Junwen came to the conference room exhausted. Seeing Ye Junwen like this, Varys and Pycelle obviously had a misunderstanding. They felt that Ye Junwen and Melisandre's " Communication” can be a bit intense.But Ye Junwen said that the communication method they thought might be more energy-saving.

"Anyway, how's the situation?" Ye Junwen didn't bother to explain anything, and asked directly.

Wallis also quickly reported on last night's battle situation. Simply put, it was a complete victory.After Ye Junwen scattered Stannis's troops, the other party failed to organize them again. The city guards in the city took the opportunity to kill them. After that, they basically just annihilated and captured prisoners.

Since the number of the city guards was relatively small, the city guards had captured more than 300 prisoners until the morning, and the rest fled to the death. It is estimated that they could no longer be organized.Of course, Stannis didn't know where he went.

"Although Stannis was not caught, but looking at it now, the other party is unlikely to be able to summon an army anymore." Varys said, "He is most likely to escape to the western border, after all, there are no other places. Where he can stay."

Although Stannis is a member of the Baratheon family, most of the lords in the Stormlands have joined Renly to rebel now. If Stannis goes back now, he will probably be arrested and dedicated to Renly or something. Yes, of course he's not that stupid.The western region is a possible escape location. Although Stannis and the western region were not dealt with before, but now they are all defeated by Ye Junwen, and they are likely to mix together.

In short, Ye Junwen didn't bother to take care of Stannis' affairs for the time being, and now their only threat was Renly's 2 troops.Of course, the 3 army was the biggest threat from the very beginning. After all, there are too many people. Under normal circumstances, the [-] army can sweep the entire continent, and Ye Junwen is now even waiting for their troops in the northern border. Come to meet up, there are only more than [-] troops, plus the troops temporarily summoned by the king's collar, the maximum is [-], it seems that it is obviously impossible to fight.

Of course Ye Junwen himself is full of confidence, this is not blind confidence, it has been tested.When we were in another world before, there was an army of [-] lizardmen preparing to attack the main city of the Saint Velan Empire. Ye Junwen let Xeromino go alone, but the lizardmen on the opposite side retreated directly. So it's not too scary, is it?But Varys is still very worried.

Therefore, according to Varys, it is best to reach an agreement with the Tyrell family in the Reach. More than half of Renly's army is from Reach troops. If they are dealt with, this will not be a problem.

And according to the latest news, it seems that Renly's army has a little problem. The [-] army is currently divided into two teams, and most of the infantry teams are concentrated in Bitterbridge. Wan's cavalry marched towards King's Landing City.

Varys didn't know why the opponent's army was divided into two teams. Although the cavalry was marching, their marching speed was not very fast. They could travel faster, but Renly was still walking around. He stopped, as if he was not in a hurry, but he really didn't understand what the other party was doing.

"I think it's very possible that he's also waiting for Stannis' actions." Varys said, "He's going to let Stannis fight us to the death before marching into King's Landing. After all, he has ten men under his command. Wan's forces, indeed, are in no hurry. But now that Stannis has been defeated, their forces may hasten their march."

"In short, let's wait for the people from the Tyrell family to talk about it." Ye Junwen waved his hand casually. Although he said that even if all [-] troops came, it would not be afraid, but Varys didn't believe it, so he couldn't help it. Then wait for the people from the Tyrell family to see if they can directly instigate opposition, and if the other party refuses to agree.

Of course, Varys also thinks this method is the best. He really doesn't think he can carry an army of [-] head-on. Now he can only wait for the Tyrell family or the people of Dorne to agree to send troops. They still have the possibility of solving the problem. , but the people on both sides have not arrived yet, so we can only wait.

Of course, apart from the war, there are a lot of other issues that Ye Junwen needs to deal with.Although Ye Junwen won two games, the current situation seems to be good, but there are too many internal problems in the country, and it is not simply the problem of the rebels.If you look closely, the whole country feels as if it is about to collapse.

First of all, the biggest problem is the financial problem, which is also the most important problem.As I said before, their original Chancellor of the Exchequer, Baelish, ran away, and now the country's finances are in a state of collapse. No one cares about it, and there are a lot of problems left.

Not only did the former King Robert not leave Ye Junwen a penny, but he also owed a large amount of debts, including 600 million gold dragons to the Western Territory and 300 million gold dragons to the Iron Bank.Of course, there is no need to pay back the Western Region for the time being. Although Tywin claims that no one can owe the Western Region a debt, they rebelled and lost, so of course they do not need to pay back.Besides, nominally speaking, the money Robert owes you is owed by the Baratheon dynasty, which is now the Targaryen dynasty. Can you still justify it to me?

But the Iron Bank is more troublesome. This is a so-called neutral bank-like organization on the other side of the strait. Their main business is lending.Of course, they don't care what dynasty you are from. Anyway, if you owe money, you will ask the king to pay it back.To be honest, although Ye Junwen doesn't want to pay back the money, it's not easy to lose it. First of all, if you don't pay back the money from a neutral organization, you will lose your international reputation. Whoever dares to borrow money from you in the future is equivalent to It is said that it has left hidden dangers for future finances.Secondly, if you don't pay back, you may cause trouble if you turn against the Iron Bank. According to the usual way of this group, if you don't pay back the money, they will frantically fund the rebels or hire mercenaries to cause trouble for you. All kinds of troubles for you.

Varys' suggestion is not to default on the money owed to the Iron Bank, but the question is how to pay it back?Varys didn't know either, after all, he was not the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the treasury was really empty, without any money.

In the current situation, even the basic maintenance of the empire has become a problem. After all, there is no penny, and Varys doesn't know what to do, so the top priority is to find a chancellor to ask.

But the question is who to turn to?In the current situation, I really don't know who to turn to to solve this mess. It is estimated that few people dare to take on the task at this time. It is already very difficult to get money. The task is really too difficult.Varys implicitly said that what they need may not be a chancellor of the exchequer, but a magician who can change money, otherwise this problem cannot be solved at all.

Regarding money matters, Ye Junwen said that he really didn't have that much experience.Although he himself is a businessman, the Minister of Finance and a businessman are not the same role. Ye Junwen doesn't know what to do to coordinate the finances of the entire country.In another world, Ye Junwen has never been involved in internal affairs, so this matter is really difficult to deal with.

In addition, there are other problems, such as the lack of members in the cabinet, the positions of Lord of the Navy and Minister of War are all vacant, and then there is the lack of generals in the army. Previously, the Kingsguard had no choice but to ask him to go as a guest general. There was no one to guard the captain of the guard, and there was no one to take care of the soldiers that the king had just summoned. In short, it was all kinds of collapse.

"Okay, okay, I think these few things can be unified into one thing, that is... the lack of talents, right." Ye Junwen said, "No one cares about the specific things at all. Do you have any good candidates?"

"..." Varys paused, unable to call out his name for a while.

"Well, both of you think about it carefully, and first find a way to propose a few places." Ye Junwen said, "I will also think about it myself, and see if I can find a few people who can be used. In short, when the meeting tomorrow , the two of you give me the names of a few people, and I will accept my fate according to the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Varys and Pycelle both nodded, and were quick to think about people.

Of course Ye Junwen had no idea who should fill these vacancies, he couldn't name a few people at all, could he?But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, because no one knows.After the meeting, Ye Junwen also contacted Lin Yin directly, and he also wanted to ask someone who knew the plot a lot of questions.

Of course, when talking to Lin Yin, the first thing the other person asked was when Ye Junwen would come back. After all, the two had just broken through their relationship, and now Lin Yin relied a lot on Ye Junwen. There is a problem with the plot.

"This... I haven't watched much yet." Lin Yin didn't know why Ye Junwen talked about the plot of a TV series seriously, as if he had some work on it.Although she didn't know what was going on, Lin Yin replied seriously, "This TV series is too long. Although it's pretty good, I don't have time to watch it at all. I'm still watching the first season."

"Oh, didn't you ask you to find some people who are familiar with the plot? Did you find them?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Oh, yes, many people in the company have seen it." Lin Yin said.

"Call him here. I'll ask a few questions and you can help convey them." Ye Junwen said.

"Okay." Lin Yin nodded, and then quickly made a phone call, asking a young man named Zhang Taiwen from the marketing department to come to the chairman's office.

This Zhang Taiwen is the person that Lin Yin was looking for to know the plot. He not only knows the plot, it is said that he is also a super power game fan. It can be memorized.

Of course, Zhang Taiwen also looked confused. He had no idea why the chairman wanted to find someone who knew the plot of Game of Thrones. It was really baffling. Could it be that Lin Yin also likes this?But after talking before, Zhang Taiwen discovered that Lin Yin had never watched Game of Thrones, okay?So...what's going on?

However, Lin Yin agreed to Zhang Taiwen. Anyway, he might ask him questions about this in the future. If he can help answer, there will be bonuses and the like.Although he didn't know what was going on, but there was a bonus for no reason, and besides, he could have a good relationship with the chairman, and he also felt that he could definitely answer these questions. What else is there to think about, of course Zhang Taiwen immediately agreed. So when he was notified to go to the chairman's office, Zhang Taiwen probably knew about this matter, otherwise why would the chairman ask him, an ordinary employee.

"Chairman, hello." Zhang Taiwen was still a little cautious when he saw Lin Yin. Although he was much bigger than Lin Yin, standing in front of Lin Yin felt that he was a size smaller.

"Sit down, I'll ask you some questions later, about the Game of Thrones, just answer it." Lin Yin said, "Xiao Yun, pour Xiao Zhang a cup of tea."

Lin Yin said that the person was in place, so he asked Ye Junwen if he had any questions.Ye Junwen also briefly described the current problem. To put it simply, they are looking for a finance minister. Is there any special talent who can do it.

After listening to Lin Yin's report, Zhang Taiwen was of course at a loss. What the hell kind of problem is this?After thinking about it, the meaning may be to ask who in Game of Thrones is suitable to be the chancellor of the exchequer?Zhang Taiwen thought for a while, and gave two names. The first one is Petyr Baelish. Among other things, this person is really good at converting money. He was able to provide such a wasteful king like Robert before. To meet the needs of the other party, so in this respect, he is of course competent.

Another name, Tyrion Lannister.Yes, this guy was the interim Prime Minister, and after Tywin returned to King’s Landing in the original book, his position became the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Obviously, this guy can also be the Chancellor of the Exchequer. At least he also solved a lot of financial issues in the original book The problem.

Hearing Zhang Taiwen's answer, Ye Junwen was slightly taken aback.Yes, Petyr Baelish, he kept hearing his name. The Chancellor of the Exchequer who ran away, if he really came back to solve these problems, Ye Junwen let him come back.It's a pity that the other party ran away and disappeared, so I couldn't find it.

But another name, Tyrion Lannister, Ye Junwen can find him directly, he is locked up in the dungeon, but this guy is from the Lannister family... Rebel vanguard, can this be played?Ye Junwen was not very familiar with Tyrion, so he asked Zhang Taiwen about Tyrion, and then figured out what to do after seeing who he was.
