The king on the Great Wall

After taking a nap, and asking Yoren to confirm that he will not leave to return to the Great Wall in the next few days, Iger and Tyrion went out together, and began to discuss details while riding horses.

"Any fund-raising is empty-handed at the beginning. The difference between real finance and financial fraud is that the former'cheat' to get money is only the means and the beginning, not the end and the end. We are, at least hope that what we are doing is The former...if that is the case, we have to establish a formal and complete system, so that it not only looks like that, but also works.” Iger explained: “This requires a lot of rules and regulations to constrain All involved - not just your actions and mine. Now, I'll start working out the details with you, as you wish."

"Very well, let's talk, I will listen and provide reference suggestions."

"Well." Iger has already prepared everything in his room, and his thinking is naturally quite clear: "A mature financial system needs to consider a lot of things, such as stability, order, and development... But we are only now We have just started, so we only need to consider stability now. The so-called stability mainly refers to the stability of the capital chain, and the main source of our funds is borrowing... To maintain stability, as long as the creditor, or the creditor does not demand repayment at will. Can."

Facing the whole pile of new knowledge and new words that came oncoming, Tyrion couldn't get in his mouth at all, he could only nod his head, trying to absorb it while responding: "You said it, interest."

"Yes, the interest is the return... I casually said [-]% per month at the beginning, but after thinking about it, this figure is quite reasonable. The lower the rate of return, the lower the risk of the scam collapsing. This figure can be said to be moderate." Low, so we have to add other rules to cooperate - the method is also very simple, agree on the repayment time when borrowing money, continue to calculate interest if it exceeds the time limit, and punish if it is insufficient."

"Punishment?" Tyrion questioned disapprovingly: "Borrowing money is asking for help. If you say that, who would dare to take the money?"

"Don't worry, there is a bottom line we must guarantee first, that is, the principal of the creditors will never shrink, and the 'punishment' is only the income part." Iger signaled the other party to be calm: "What are we doing? Scam money. But only we know this. On the surface, we are raising funds on behalf of the Night Watch Corps and under the guarantee of the Prime Minister to raise funds, and then purchase food, grass and equipment and send them to the Great Wall to fight against the wildlings outside the Great Wall to defend the kingdom. This is a serious and noble thing Although everything is actually managed by the two of us, and only part of the funds are used where we claim to be used, the debtor... is the Night Watchman Corps, not me."

He paused before continuing: "This is very important. I represent the organization of the Great Wall Defenders. Although it is self-assessed, although this organization has indeed declined badly, and southerners look down on it, legally the Night Watchman is a An independent organization at the same level as the seven duchies, that's enough. This organization 'officially' borrows money to do business. As a representative, I must put on a business-like appearance, and people must not let people see that I am using chicken feathers as arrows. .On the basis of ensuring that creditors have zero risk to their principal, we have to set up some tough principles that seem to be domineering and are indeed beneficial to ourselves-the most basic one is that our bonds refuse to be redeemed before the agreed time .”

"What you said makes sense, but there are only a few people in the world who are willing to reason." Tyrion shook his head: "I don't know how you are being recruited, but in Westeros, not only is it impossible for you to do so , and may cause panic.”

"Indeed, the rules are dead, and people are alive. If the creditors really need money urgently, of course we can't bite the rules and refuse to pay back the money, but punishment is necessary-if the creditors ask to take the money in advance, when the money When the money is in our hands for more than two months, we need to pay a [-]% handling fee for early redemption, that is, the repayment interest is reduced by one month. If the loan period is less than one month, the interest and handling fee are not enough When paying, in line with the principle of not letting the creditor suffer any loss of the principal, the handling fee will naturally not be collected—but there are other punishments, for example, I will refuse to borrow money from this person again.”

"Refused to borrow money from this person?" Tyrion was amused, but looking carefully at Iger's expression, he found that his adventurer friend was not joking: "Don't make trouble, who would beg to borrow money?" for you?"

"Sounds a bit arrogant, right? Let's put it in a slightly low-key way. This person will be disqualified from buying Night Watchman bonds." Iger said confidently, and Tyrion's participation greatly increased his confidence: "Unless he First pay the handling fee for the last purchase default... Maybe you will find it unbelievable, but sometimes the reality is so bizarre."

The dwarf remained cautious as usual: "Well, I'd love to believe it, but I can't."

"Indeed, a monthly rate of return of 1.5% is not so magical." Iger admitted, "Therefore, there must be rewards with punishments. Reward 2: Redemption after more than three months does not require payment of handling fees. Reward 2.5: Increasing interest—for example, the interest of the third month is 12%, the sixth month is 3%, and so on, the ninth month is 0.5%, and the No.[-] month is [-]%. Every three months, the monthly interest rate increases by [-]%.

"Too many."

"It's the current month, not every month. It's not much." Iger corrected: "In this way, the creditor's interest on the loan for three months is 3.5%, six months is 7.5%, and nine months is 12%. , 17% for twelve months... In this case, the rate of return is attractive enough. In this way, creditors will naturally get the impression that the longer the money is in my hands, the higher the return .The same 100 gold dragon, if you leave it at home for a year, it will still be 100, but if you lend it to me for a year, it will become 117, what would you do?"

"Indeed, it's attractive enough." Arithmetic has always been Tyrion's strong point, but compared with a certain science student who has received more than ten years of exam-oriented education from the Chinese Dynasty, he looks so scumbag.He tried his best to keep up with Iger's pace, and then he was persuaded unconsciously.He feels that he has been persuaded more times after getting to know Iger than in the past 20 years combined: "Understood, not only that, but the people who lend you money will gradually form the habit of thinking that the longer the money is put, the more it will be—unless It’s really desperate for money, and they will try not to redeem it.”

"That's right, let's think about it further. Suppose you are a creditor, and you lend me 100 gold dragons—no, I should say lend it to the Night Watchman Legion—for eleven months, let's say eleven and a half months. You There is an accident at home and you are short of money. If you redeem it now, the return is calculated on the basis of eleven months, that is, one hundred plus eleven months’ interest, 114 Jinlong, you only need to wait another half a month, and 114 will be paid. It will become 117, but you really can't wait any longer, what will you do?"

"Hmm..." Needing to use his brain again, Tyrion liked it, he thought for a while, and got the answer: "I will transfer this bond to someone else at the price of 115 or 116 gold dragons, so that I can solve my urgent need." , the person who takes over this bond can also earn one or two golden dragons in just a dozen days."

"Yes, what does this mean?"

Tyrion continued to think about it, and quickly thought about it with horror: "In this step, the night watchman bond you issued can be used as a 115 or 116 gold dragon! That is to say, that thing is in a sense With... the function of the 'money' you mentioned!"

"That's it, but that step requires the entire society to recognize the reliability of the Night Watchmen's bonds. I issued national bonds and squeezed out my market." Iger smiled, "Real finance is far more complicated than this, but we have just started, so let's not think so far... Well, this How to go at the intersection?"

Chapter 60 The Night's Watch Bond

Iger was new here, so naturally he didn't know the way. Fortunately, Tyrion lived in King's Landing for a while, not to mention that he knew the city well, so he had no problem finding a shop. The two walked and chatted, and soon found the only place in King's Landing. There are not many professional stamp making shops in Stroh.

In this era, Westeros and the world before Iger crossed are much behind, but with the unification and development of the Seven Kingdoms, people have gradually begun to have some concepts of the importance of law and order, just like the opening of the Celestial Dynasty In this world, seals also have certain specifications and format requirements, rather than finding a random stone and carving it for instant use.In Junlin City, only the seals made in this shop will be recognized by all the nobles and rich people in the Seven Kingdoms.

Generally speaking, seal shops only serve people with status or certain fixed assets, and it is useless for ordinary people to ask for seals.Iger does not meet the conditions, but fortunately - he has two very strong proof documents.

After showing the certificate signed and stamped by Eddard Stark and Jeor Mormont, the shopkeeper took his business.Iger made a seal for himself as the "Chief Logistics Officer of the Night Watchman" - the Great Wall defenders do not have this position, and naturally there is no chief logistics officer, but as long as the plan goes well, he will soon be able to let the legion create this department and Position.

Iger ordered two seals, one is a seal representing personal identity, and the other is a wax seal for enclosing letters.After discussing the style and content of the seal with the master engraver, he turned to Tyrion and asked, "Do you have a seal?"

"No." The dwarf replied honestly. It is very rare for a member of a big family of his status to not have a seal, but he was born with a disability. There is no need for seals to prove identity or guarantee when interacting with ordinary people or going to taverns and brothels on credit, and nobles with comparable status can only talk and do things with his old man, Duke Tywin, and his brothers and sisters. Although he didn't care, in fact, there was suffering in his heart. "Then make one for me by the way."

The famous little devil naturally does not need identification, and another order for a seal was quickly negotiated... The price of a regular seal is not cheap. Of course, compared with what the two of them are about to do, it can only be regarded as a small amount of money.

After one thing was done, the two went out and got on their horses, and continued to discuss the remaining details while riding to the next place.

Tyrion climbed onto the horse with difficulty: "And then?"

"Paper, ink pad and wax have been bought by your attendant, now we just go to the signboard workshop..."

"Signboard Workshop? Okay, but I'm not asking where to go, I just want to ask, since you said that this project needs my help, then what am I going to do?"

"More, your participation, let my whole plan skip the most difficult start and go straight to the initial stage. If I were alone, I would have to be forced to raise the interest rate to attract people's attention, and then no matter how much Fighting for every golden dragon, and trying to get every initial loan from ordinary people by all means... After you join, I can not only directly develop borrowers from the middle and high class, but also set a reasonable rate of return and a certain amount Subscription threshold. In this way, the number of creditors is reduced but the quality is improved, and the formed capital chain will be more stable. This reduces the workload of fundraising operations, which can be calculated in multiples.”

Iger thought for a while: "The first thing you have to do is to convince some of your friends to buy my bonds. It doesn't need many, just a few, and everything will run smoothly."

"What, let me cheat my own people?"

"Why do you say that, in this game, the least likely to be cheated are the first batch of entrants!" Iger emphasized: "Only the entry of the first batch of creditors needs your persuasion, this step out Finally, the existence of the previous entrants will become the source of confidence for the next batch of entrants. As long as the total amount of funds is controlled, the cycle can continue...Someone has to start. If you are unwilling to convince people you know, then we You can only go to the street to find passers-by or sell them door-to-door.”

"Okay, I'll do it." Tyrion was ready to post money himself, so he naturally wouldn't get entangled in this non-principle issue. Anyway, it would be a big deal to fill in the hole by himself: "How to do it?"

"It's very simple, just introduce me to your friends and give me a guarantee. With the proof of the commander-in-chief and the hand of the king, it shouldn't take too much effort."

"Okay, you said you want to set a subscription threshold, how much?"

"One hundred golden dragons."

"So much!?" Tyrion was taken aback: "Egger, King's Landing is indeed the place where the wealth of the Seven Kingdoms is the most concentrated. It's not difficult for someone I know to bring out a hundred gold dragons, but the money is not lent to me. Yes, but to the Night's Watch Legion, many of whom have probably seen you as a Night's Watcher for most of their lives, and asking them to throw so much money into a pit that they don't even understand is a little bit Difficulty."

"That's all. What I'm going to issue is a fixed-rate, simple-interest, registered bond. Remember what I made a list for Morris and Jack to buy. Every bond uses the best parchment, I personally carried out a series of anti-counterfeiting processing, and at the end we had to sign, seal and press fingerprints with the three creditors. After a toss, each cost more than one silver deer. If there is no high threshold for the amount, we may To make hundreds or even thousands of bonds is not only difficult to manage, but also seriously increases the cost and working hours, which affects the stability of the capital chain." Iger explained: "Of course, one hundred is just a random word. In this regard, We can discuss it."

"Fixed interest, simple interest, registered name? What do these mean?"

"Fixed interest means that the interest is fixed. Simple interest means that the interest generated will not be calculated separately. Registered means that every bond will have the name of the borrower. The first two points are for the convenience of accounting and management, and the third point is for anti-counterfeiting and protection. The holder's ownership of the bond, in case of theft, loss, etc., you will naturally know when the time comes."

"It's complicated."

"More complicated things are yet to come. For now, let's discuss some basic issues, such as what to write on the signboard of my Night Watchman's office, and what pattern to use."

***

The signboard workshop has arrived. Unlike the stamp shop and the night watchman office, which only need a small shop facing the street, it requires a large space for processing and production. In order to save rent, we can only choose a slightly remote place. .The two turned around for a while and found this place, the sun had already set to the west.

More than a dozen carpenters and workers were working enthusiastically on the semi-outdoor field.There are new stores opening in King's Landing every so often, and naturally new orders for signs are coming in every so often. Although the power levels of the Seven Kingdoms are engaged in undercurrent contests and struggles, ordinary people don't know about it—on the bright side, West Rocco is in an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity, and industry and commerce are developing at an unprecedented speed.Iger is extremely skeptical: If the War of the Five Kings does not happen and winter does not come, capitalism will start to sprout in big cities such as King's Landing.

The boss quickly greeted him warmly. Making a signboard is not as troublesome as engraving a seal and unlocking it. As long as you give money, you can make any content and size for you.After half an hour of discussion and deliberation, they finalized the size, content and other details of the signboard, and paid the deposit in advance. When the two of them returned to the hotel after another day that was too busy to explode, it was already dark.

Chapter 61 Gossip Generates Business Opportunities

Still unable to rest at night, Egger and Tyrion huddled in the room, under the light of a dozen candles, began to make the world's first night watchman bond.

A stack of the highest-grade parchment that could be bought in King's Landing was placed by the table. After the two had a final discussion on the contents of the bond, they began to work.Tyrion's appearance is unflattering, but his handwriting is quite beautiful. Iger was used to using a computer before traveling, and he could write Chinese characters in a mess, let alone Westeros.No way, the task of writing the content of the first bond fell on his shoulders. The dwarf followed the draft and copied it word by word without daring to be sloppy. Letters have never been so serious.

"Huh..." After finishing the first copy, Tyrion carefully held the two corners of the paper, lifted it up and took a breath, put it aside to dry, then picked up the second piece of paper and put it in front of him.He has been back in King's Landing for a week, and he didn't even go to a brothel once. He couldn't believe it when he said it... This feeling of finding something to do and no longer feeling empty inside is really wonderful.

Iger sat opposite, deleting, deleting, modifying and modifying a draft full of things, but he couldn't be satisfied.The bond is such a big piece of paper, it is naturally impossible to write all the agreements and rules on it, he plans to sort it out, make a poster-like notice and stick it on the wall of the night watchman's office, and let visitors read it. Explain, more clearly.

"It's enough to just write down the meaning of two pieces of paper. Let's rest early. The same content on the bond is not the key point. The key point is the signature stamp and subsequent anti-counterfeiting measures at the time of signing."

"Yes, I'll hire someone to do it tomorrow."

"Hire someone to copy bonds? Why is it so troublesome, find a shop to print..." Iger's words were suddenly stuck, because he found that he didn't know what word printing was in the common language of Westeros.

"What do you want to say?"

Iger tried a lot but couldn't make Tyrion understand the meaning of printing, so he had to resort to a trick: "Let's put it this way, it is to make the contents of the bond into a super-sized seal, and cover it with each paper. Just go there."

"It's so smart, why didn't I think of it!" Tyrion's eyes lit up: "Is this also your technology? Cai Na people are really smart. Sometimes I am glad that there is a sunset sea between us."

"Westeros doesn't have this kind of technology, so how do your books do it?"

"Copy, there are people who specialize in this line of work to earn some hard money..." Tyrion replied without thinking, and then he immediately reacted, with cold sweat behind his back: "Damn...why, there seems to be something wrong !"

At this time, Iger also understood why he didn't know how to say printing in Westeros. It turned out that printing in this world didn't exist at all.

The two looked at each other in shock: This is a business opportunity!

Iger immediately had a more in-depth communication with Tyrion about the book and learned more about it-in this era of Westeros, books are completely copied by hand, and the handwriting of the copyees is beautiful and neat. No, due to factors such as the quantity and accuracy of the book content, and the quality of the binding, the price of a book ranges from a few silver stags to a few gold dragons. It is no exaggeration to say that some books are a luxury!

"Damn it, is this why Caina is advanced and powerful?" Tyrion is a smart man. He immediately realized the advantages of the application of printing in popularizing knowledge and culture. This will have a revolutionary impact on social development. Technology! "We can build a book printing factory, and then earn money by selling books, and use the money you raised... No, it's too late, I'll advance the money first, and start as soon as possible!"

……

But Iger shook his head. Things are not that simple. In the case of backward technology, printing does not necessarily mean low cost. If you work hard to make a model, if you only print dozens or hundreds of books, it is better to hire someone. Copying saves money, but printing more, the real problem comes - who will buy it?

Tyrion is a literate and smart man. It is understandable that he hopes that everyone is educated and literate, but what he has to consider is how to make the money he gets give full play to the value of the game so that the game can continue. Don’t really make it into a Ponzi scheme. , he needs projects that are sure to make money, instead of printing a bunch of excellent literature or popular science works that are full of spring and snow, and make long-term contributions to the cultural development of Westeros.

To put it simply, it is—where to consider what issues, I have not yet squeezed into the ruling class, and it is foolish to worry about such a great thing.

After thinking about it, he quickly thought of a few things that were just needed by the society. The market was huge, and the printing cost must be lower than that of hand-copying—such as calendars, the Canon of the Seven Gods, and easy-to-understand ghost stories that are suitable for all ages!I can cooperate with churches, bards and other institutions to make the funds in my hands work!

The idea came as soon as it came out, and people were caught off guard. He got excited, swiped the quill in his hand, and severely crossed out an item on the original plan.

"What did you cross out?"

"I originally planned to control the number of bond issuances, because when there is no way to really make money make money, the faster the scale of funds expands, the more unsustainable the scam is, but now that there are projects that can make money, this article is meaningless Already!" Iger said excitedly: "It is clear what we will do with the first sum of money we got, and we will immediately start recruiting people with seal engraving skills—there is no need for those professional master craftsmen in the seal engraving shop in King's Landing, expensive, If you can’t afford it, apprentices and those with certain experience are enough, and then contact the paper dealer, we need a large and stable supply of cheap paper next, and we have something to do.”

"Hey, you originally planned to control the number of bond issuances? Are you really confident that people will beg to lend you money?"

"If things go well, I dare to raise the interest rate. At that time, people who want to lend me money will line up from the Red Castle to the Gate of the Gods!" Iger boasted confidently. "Let's stop here today, take a good rest tonight, we will split up tomorrow, and each will do business!"

***

In countless farming articles, the traverser can always dig out the first pot of gold quickly with the knowledge he possessed in the original world, but when it was Iger's turn to do it, he found that it was so difficult to turn knowledge into money—he knew the power of the fuel engine. The principle, knowing that generators rely on magnetism to generate electricity, and even knowing how airplanes and spaceships go to the sky, but these damn high-tech are useless in this era and this world!There are many people who know the principle, who can make one?Not to mention the entire finished product, with the materials and industrial level of Westeros, even a single screw on the plane cannot be produced.

Who would have thought that at this moment when he was at a loss, a few casual chats made him discover a business opportunity. The backwardness of this world is far beyond his expectations. To make money in this world, he does not need the level of education he thought of before. Knowledge, commonplace or even obsolete technologies and objects in daily life are all new things here!

Chapter 62 Office

The sun rises and another day begins. Yoren the Raven goes to the flea nest to pick up "new recruits" as usual after breakfast, while Tyrion rarely gets up early and goes out to find someone to set up the "printing factory" he is thinking of. Only Eggedo slept for a while, watched the sun and waited for the time, and then slowly got on his horse and set off to the street frontage that Eddard Stark arranged for the Night Watch Corps.

Seals and signboards can't be made overnight, and bonds can't be made within a day or two, but the Night Watchman's office must be opened quickly: neither the signing of bonds nor the conscription work can be done in the open air or in other people's homes Carrying out—just like scammers and leather bag companies often rent an office building to recruit employees to sell their appearances, activities involving money are carried out in a fixed place, which will give outsiders who are in contact for the first time a great sense of security.

Jack has already ordered the desks, chairs, cabinets and other office supplies on his list yesterday, and made an appointment for home delivery, and he will arrive today. As the applicant and future head of the Night Watchman Office, he will naturally have Staring at the scene, directing the decoration of the facade and the placement of various utensils, even if you can't think about it.

……

Businessmen have a good sense of time, and within half an hour after opening the door, all the people and goods have arrived.

After a simple cleaning, Iger began to direct the workers to move the tables, chairs and cabinets into the door and place them in the expected positions one by one.He has never opened a store, but he played and grew up in his mother's tailor and clothing store since he was a child, which left a subtle but indelible influence on him, and he unknowingly arranged it according to the structure of the store at home.

The office is divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. On the wall of the outside room, in the future, there will be detailed explanations and rules of the Night Watchman bond on one side, and the benefits and requirements for conscription on the other side. Two rows of benches for visitors to rest.In the middle of the room is a big table. In the future, the managers of the facade will sit behind the table and communicate and explain with people who pass by to have a look, or who have ideas about bonds or joining the army. If they are sure of their intentions, they can Please enter the inner room.

The interior is Iger's office, with a row of simple cabinets and wooden shelves, and some facilities such as safes may be added in the future.Facing the window is a desk that is slightly smaller than the one in the outer room. In the future, Iger will have more in-depth exchanges and negotiations with people on this desk, and will sign every night watchman bond, and join the night watch Person's conscription contract.

As soon as they survived, the clothes on Iger and Jack were soaked. They moved the chairs and sat outside the door, looking at the empty and unopened Night Watchman's office, discussing what is still missing.

……

"Will anyone really sign up to join the Night's Watch?" Jack had already taken off his Lannister armor due to the heat, and asked doubtfully while fanning himself: "Maybe you are really eloquent, but wearing black Yi... the price he paid was too great, even if he was killed, I would not go."

"Indeed, the Night's Watch needs to be reformed now, and if we continue to keep that set of 'holy' bullshit oaths, we will disappear from the world soon."

"reform?"

"Yes, reform."

Iger pretended to be profound and smiled, of course he wouldn't really send a lot of night watchman recruits in the usual sense to the Great Wall, not to mention that he didn't have the ability, even if he did, he wouldn't do it.Send people to the Great Wall, and after training, take an oath to become your lifelong "brother"?What benefits can I get?

The more recruits sent over, the more stable the defense of the Great Wall, and the less likely it is that they will be forcibly recalled. This is a fact.But relatively, the more members there are, the more powerful the Night Watchman will be... He will be suppressed even more. He doesn't want to go back to the Great Wall, but he doesn't want to look at other people's faces and beg them not to call him back.

Iger's plan is to first pretend to recruit soldiers in King's Landing for a month or two, and then write a letter to the high-level legion with aggrievedness: I have tried my best to persuade many people to go north to the Great Wall to resist the wildlings and ghosts, but mentioning Until they are unable to marry a wife and cannot leave for life, [-]% of them all shrink back.If you can relax the requirements a little bit and allow people to temporarily go to the Great Wall to help for a few years, to help the defenders of the Great Wall survive the most dangerous years and then go home, you can get hundreds of people in no time Supplement to the Great Wall of Despair.

The Wall was desperately short of men, and Mormont had no choice but to agree to his proposal.

Then, he can use the form of recruitment to spend money to hire people to go north to do business. This group of people joins the legion through their own hands, gets paid from themselves, and may eventually rely on themselves to realize that they can leave the night vigil after a few years. They will form a solid interest community with themselves, and in a sense, they will be "our own people".Imagine if one-half or even half of the members of the Night Watch Corps were like this, how much power would he have to speak?

At that time, even if I still don't have any position, I will be the second in command of the Night Watch Corps or even the most powerful person. I don't bring the Night Watch people to rebel and become independent, and there is no stronger force to intervene. What Alliser Thorne, what class Jan Stark... anyone who wants to touch himself has to weigh it.

What should this force be called... the Night Watchman Foreign Reinforcement Army, the Land-grant Construction Corps, or the Temporary Defense Force of the Impassable Great Wall?

Let’s talk about what it’s called later, he still has a lot of time to perfect this plan, but it’s not easy to talk to Jack, it’s not that he looks down on Tyrion’s attendants, but it’s good to be clear about this kind of thing by yourself.

The premise of everything is that the Night Watchman bond must be successful first. As long as this step goes well, everything that follows will not be considered trouble-problems that can be solved with money are not called problems.

***

Iger's confident expression that everything is under control makes Jack's heart itch. After following the master for a long time, he also has some of Tyrion's strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity... Just as he was about to ask, he raised his eyes and saw a big man: " Damn! Duke Stark, why is he here, Egger! He seems to be coming this way, is he looking for you?"

His thoughts were interrupted, and the night watchman was taken aback. He looked in the direction pointed by the young attendant, and he saw Eddard Stark, the current Hand of the King, leading a group of people riding along the street.

……

Not to mention that the renovation of the Night Watchman's office just started, even if it really opened, it would be impossible to invite the Prime Ministers of the Seven Nations to come and support it.Ed Stark should just be passing by, but since he was passing by, it is not impossible for him to stop here for inspection, or even "guidance" on his work, given how much he cares about the Night Watchman.

Theoretically, the Guardians of the Northern Territory can't control the Night Watchman, but he is a big leader, and if he carries out his work in King's Landing, it all depends on him not obstructing or even providing convenience.

……
