#73 - Chapter 36: Territory Management
Liu Yuan walked around the tower, with Philly accompanying him and explaining things. He also learned about the difficult and struggling history of Knight Royce.
This poor fellow made his name during the War of the Ninepenny Kings and was knighted for his military achievements in the Stepstones. He had been managing this place since 263 AC, gradually accumulating wealth to build a castle. However, it took him a full twenty years to save up enough for just a tower. Including a few barracks and warehouses, it was even worse than the Japanese blockhouses.
Actually, many families start out like this, requiring the efforts of several generations or even dozens of generations. For example, Winterfell and Casterly Rock took thousands of years, more than hundreds of generations of struggle. As a result, the War of the Usurper broke out, and Knight Royce responded to the national call, leading his three only soldiers to join Prince Rhaegar's army. Then there was no then. He died in the Battle of the Ruby Ford, and his territory was taken back by the new royal family.
Liu Yuan gestured. The tower was located right on the central axis. When the new city was built, this would be the main street, so it would have to be demolished. He said to Philly, "I am different from those knights. I am from the ancient Valyrian House Celtigar. Later, I will build a city here, and then a family steward will come here to take charge. As for you, you will become a clerk and continue to serve the territory."
Philly said excitedly, "Thank you, Lord. I will definitely serve you loyally."
Liu Yuan continued, "These soldiers will be stationed here temporarily. With the soldiers guarding, it will be much safer here. I will also leave a sum of money to cover their expenses. And from now on, you will order some supplies from the caravans. At most, someone will come to take over in a month, and you will have to cooperate with their work then."
Liu Yuan stayed at White Orchard for another two days, made plans for the future city, and drew a lot of drawings. Then, alone on horseback, he returned to Lannisport from the Golden Road. This time, he traveled with one person and three horses, and it only took him two days to reach Lannisport.
Outside the city, the camp where the army had previously been stationed was now crowded with tents. Many people came to participate in the tournament, and of course, there were also many caravans and circuses. Liu Yuan came to the previous temporary military camp, and the scale here had expanded a lot. Currently, all Celtigar's troops are here. The soldiers can't stay on the ship all the time.
Here he met an old acquaintance, Ser Mordy Bandil, the knight who had always wanted to take Liu Yuan as a squire. It has been seven years since they last met. Bandil has been serving on the fleet, mainly running the Braavos and Tyrosh routes.
Bandil was a little emotional after seeing Liu Yuan. He never thought that the blacksmith's apprentice before had now become a lord and created his own family. The two reminisced about the old days, and of course, they couldn't avoid Old Parker, who had passed away three years ago. More of the conversation revolved around the customs and cultures of the East Continent. Bandil came from a mercenary background and had been on the ship all the time, so he didn't have so many rules. Liu Yuan thought he was a talent, although his personal martial power was average, but his value lay in his rich experience. And he was very clear about sailing.
Liu Yuan was going to talk to Earl Adrian and poach this subordinate. He mentioned it to Bandil and asked him what he meant. Bandil was very tempted. He was very optimistic about this young master. In just a few years, he had pulled up an army and a fleet of considerable size. Garon's power was in its early stages, and following him was much better than continuing to mix in the fleet. Maybe he could get a piece of land before he died.
At this time, the tournament had been going on for two days, and many young knights had emerged. For example, Ser Balman Bych, but the most dazzling was Jorah Mormont, who successively defeated Earl of Riverrun, Ser Lele Crakehall, Ser Boros Braun and other well-known old knights. Jaime Lannister and Sandor Clegane also participated in the competition and have been maintaining their victory!
Liu Yuan came to Casterly Rock. Currently, King Robert was living in his father-in-law's house, and many great nobles were temporarily living here. Earl Adrian was now a popular person in front of the king, so naturally he was always by his side.
Liu Yuan was also a frequent visitor here. He used to be with Tyrion often. The guards of the castle did not stop him, and he came directly to the Celtigar's station. Casterly Rock had been holding banquets almost every night these days to entertain the visiting nobles, and they had brought many of their family's children. Those gardens in the castle! The woods and the like! Became their dating places.
Becotte was drinking alone on the balcony. His eyes aimed at a pair of figures hugging under a tree not far away, and he curled his lips in disdain. He raised the wine pot and was about to pour it into his mouth, when a hand reached out from beside him and snatched the wine pot. "Such good wine, you are wasting it with this kind of drinking method. What's wrong? Do you miss your newly married wife!"
Becotte was flashed and turned around to see Liu Yuan holding the wine pot and pouring himself a cup. The slightly angry expression immediately changed, and he said happily, "Garon, didn't you go to the fief? Why are you back so soon?"
Liu Yuan raised his cup and took a sip: "Well, I went to take a look. The location of the territory is very good, and our King is also very generous. The land given is not small, but there are fewer people. I plan to send all the craftsmen captured this time over there, and then recruit some people to build the castle first. Why are you drinking alone here? If you have anything unhappy, tell me and make me happy."
Becotte punched him in the chest: "Go away, I didn't realize you were so naughty before. News came from Crab Island. My mother said that Jolie is already pregnant. I'm going to be a father, hehehehehehe!"
Liu Yuan said: "Oh! I understand, you are homesick. Just got married and encountered this, it's hard for you. If I had known you liked my armor, I would have sent it to you later, just as a gift for my little nephew."
Becotte rubbed his hands and said: "Are you serious? Hehehehe;-) Then how embarrassed I am, wouldn't you have no suitable armor?"
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Just accept it with peace of mind! I have already separated from the family, so naturally I have to prepare new armor. If you are really sorry, you can convert it into money for me. The previous set was sold to Duke Tywin for 300,000 gold dragons. For your sake, I will charge you a cost price of 20%, 60,000, bring it!"
Becotte's face suddenly turned into a depressed character, he murmured: "This...that...gold dragon..." He didn't know what to say, Liu Yuan patted him and said: "Okay, I'm not teasing you. The tournament has started for two days, haven't you participated?"
Becotte: "I know my level. Many well-known knights from the Seven Kingdoms have participated this time. I have watched their games, and I am completely not an opponent, so I won't go up to embarrass myself. By the way, haven't you seen your father since you came back? He just came back from the King's banquet and is probably changing clothes in the room."
Liu Yuan: "That's good, I have something to ask him. Then we will go back to Crab Island together. I haven't seen little Lyanna for a long time."
