The matter is not over yet. After the king made Werther the Duke, the islands of the Stepstone Islands will also be enfeoffed. The ceremony will be performed by Werther, and these newly created nobles will also be loyal to Werther in the future.
Because the Stepped Stone Islands are all archipelagos, with today's technological level, it is impossible to manage all the islands no matter how capable they are. We can only entrust each valuable island to the lord for management.
Barristan handed the list to Witte, who glanced at it for confirmation before handing it back.
There are several large islands in the Stone Steps Islands, and the accumulation of various kinds of bird droppings is very fertile. However, the long-term war here has resulted in no one farming for thousands of years.
The most important thing is that there are no people. There is a continent of Westeros as big as South America, with a total population of only about 10,000!
Ever since Witte launched the agricultural revolution in the academy, the academy has added agriculture to the curriculum. More and more bachelors are following the path pioneered by Witte. They have far exceeded the level of Witte back then and have expanded into all aspects of agriculture. In the past, aristocratic families only had one bachelor's degree, but now they all have double bachelor's degrees. In addition to one bachelor's degree in charge, the other one is in agriculture or engineering, depending on the family's business. In wealthy places, there are even three or four, and many second sons of the family choose this.
This way.
But relying only on manpower and animal power, the scope of farming for a farmer is also very limited. Now nobles all over the continent of Westeros are looking for ways to increase the population.
You have to develop the territory entrusted to you by the great lord, and then pay the taxes. If you don't develop it, you have to give the reason to the lord. No matter how strong Witte is, the population of the original territory is not enough, so how can you have the energy to take care of it? p>
Therefore, after the victory of this war, many nobles were unwilling to take this place and only wanted to share the spoils. Only those wealthy families in the Western Region, Stormland and the Crown Region, who had contact with Werther and Renly, were willing to give up their family fortune to this place.
Build a new foundation.
Every time Werther called out a name, they would come out and half-kneel in front of Werther, and be conferred the title in the presence of the king and the nobles present.
First, there are two people from the Stormland forces.
Witte held the black giant sword in both hands and put it on their shoulders, "Andrew Ismond! Canonized as Earl of Orchard Hall!"
Andrew Eastmond was Werther's second cousin, who ensured all the logistics work. His new family emblem was based on Werther's suggestion, adding a blue band to the head of a green turtle.
Witte "Balon Swann! Canonized as Lord of Fire Island!"
The second son of the Swen family in Stonehelm City in the Stormlands, Witte has met him when he was a child. He has a strong body and thick arm muscles. He has extraordinary martial arts skills, courage and courtesy to others. Their family contributed a lot in this war.
, can be regarded as an acquaintance that Werther has not seen for many years.
Then there are two people from the royal territory.
Witte "Alard Seaworth, canonized as Earl of Stormwind Harbor!"
The second son of the Onion Knight, the Onion Knight gave him most of the credit for this battle in order to find a new way out for the family in Werther. There is no doubt about his loyalty. His new family emblem is still a smuggling ship.
Only one more ship was added.
Witte "Oren Velaryon, canonized as Earl of Gull Island!"
His brother Morford Velaryon was the first to present his family's sea chart, which benefited all armies. This alone is an indelible contribution. The two fought very bravely. He was originally named Al
Renn Weishui, Robert has officially confirmed the legitimacy of his illegitimate son. After discussing with his brother, he continued to use the family crest of the Seahorse family. There are too few Velaryon family members now, and if they are not careful, they will die. He is from
Recommended by Robert, Werther did not know him at first.
Then there are four people from the Reach forces.
Witte "Garlan Tyrell! Canonized as Earl of Bloodstone Harbor!"
He is the second eldest child in the family. The Tyrell family is well aware of the importance of Werther and fully supports his development here. They have spent money and efforts to build Bloodstone Island. His personal emblem is now two golden roses.
Werther "Hope Redwyne! Canonized as Earl of Torture Pit!"
He is also ranked second. He has the support of the Redwin family, who told him that the big tree of Werther cannot be exclusive to the Tyrell family. Werther does not know him, and his position is the result of a compromise in the game.
Werther "Gunthor Hightower! Canonized as Earl of Krabs!"
Witte's old friend, his father has many children, he is the third son, and the first business partner besides Renly. The Hightower family's old town has too much influence in the school city and the Church of the Seven Gods, and they want to develop
Here, Witte also wanted to recruit talents from the academy in the future. The two sides were mutually beneficial. He changed his family emblem to two towers.
Witte "Dickon Tarly! Created as Sir Dickon Tarly!"
His father was one of the commanders of the battlefield in the Reach. He was shot to death by Euron with a heavy crossbow. His brother inherited the territory and gave him the family's ancestral sword. This young man, Witte, thought he was pretty good and was not listed on the list.
Cross him out, but he is still young and his fiefdom is a relatively small island. Witte plans to let him work with him for a long time.
Finally, there's Dorne.
Witte "Ashara Dayne! Canonized as Earl of Gem Island!"
"Hey!"
"Don't laugh, be serious."
Some nobles from the Seven Kingdoms had dissatisfied expressions on their faces. They thought how could a woman be an earl?
In the Dornish people, both men and women have the right to inherit. Even the Martell family has produced several powerful female princes. However, their children will take the surname of Martell instead of their father's surname. In this battle, as long as there is a battle,
Only Ashara has killed the most people.
With a glare from Werther, these people did not dare to speak.
Now that Vit Libao feels that she is not convinced by a woman, Vit can arrange a contest on the spot and let them personally compete with Ashara to see if she will be cut into three or six pieces.
Ashara Dayne added a Dark Sister as her new family crest to the family crest of a sword and a shooting star.
There are a total of nine people canonized this time, two from the Stormland and two from the King's Leader. Four from the Reach and one from Dorne.
Although the Riverlands suffered a huge defeat when they encountered Euron, it cannot be denied that they dispatched the most troops and warships.
There is an island next to Bloodstone Island that is dedicated to Odaweying and its future descendants. It is full of leftover bones, so it was named Skull Island by Werther.
The fiefdom was also the result of a game between the nobles. There were Werther's relatives, apprentices, business partners, and people whom Werther didn't know at all. However, the closer the current fiefdom is to the city of Tyrosi, the closer the relationship with Werther is.
.
In fact, there are still many places that can be used for canonization, but other nobles don't like it, and Werther doesn't want to give it to them.
The island is not land, and it is very troublesome to build. Witte also built several military fortresses in the disputed area. He erected a stone monument on the foundation and then stopped the work because there was no money and no one.
After Werther's canonization, everyone talked and laughed.
Robert looked at the ruins of the city of Tyroshi and said, "Witt, what you have here is really the Second Son Islands led by the Duke of Ruins."
Renly "Haha, isn't it? Werther, do you need my support?"
Witte rubbed his hands and said, "Yes! I, the Duke of Ruins, will lend you my Ten Thousand Gold Dragon first! I will return your Ten Thousand Gold Dragon in one year. This is a good business with a sure profit and no loss!"
"It's easy, I'll bring it to you when I get back." Stannis was the first to speak. He made money so easily that he didn't even know how to spend a lot of money.
Renly punched Werther, "I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Calculating the time, the ship will arrive in Tyrosh in a few days, but I didn't expect to be able to collect interest! Haha."
Robert was in a dilemma: "For private loans, can the money come out of the treasury?"
~~~
The situation on the Stepstone Islands has stabilized, and the nobles are leading their fleets to King's Landing.
They return victoriously, and with the joy of victory they will attend a grand wedding, the wedding of Renly Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End, and Margaery Tyrell, Rose of Highgarden.
The last of the four men in the family finally got married. With a wave of his hand, Robert held a tournament at the Red Keep of King's Landing, and also held a tournament to celebrate the victory of the Stepstones War.
The population of Tyrosh has decreased significantly and it has become deserted.
Many ordinary soldiers and knights in the Stormlands are willing to stay. They know very well that they can get along well with Renly and Werther.
Tyrosh is now a vast and sparsely populated land. If you want to cultivate any piece of land, just go to the city and go through the formalities. If you don’t want to farm, you can do it in the city. There are vacant houses everywhere and countless jobs waiting for them. The most important thing is
What’s more, there are tens of thousands of women!
The immigration ships coming from King's Landing are far from meeting the current population needs of the Stepstone Islands. Vert and Robert discussed that the criminals in King's Landing, except for strong women, should not be murderers. All thieves and robbers should be brought to Tyrosh for the army.
Transformation! Robert was also very happy and sent a letter to the Prime Minister.
There was a shortage of manpower and vacancies, and the earls and lords who had fiefdoms on the Stepstone Islands were also brought to work in Tyrosh by Vitra.
The commander of the city defense army, Ashara Dayne, is now wearing a costume similar to the golden robe, carrying the Dark Sisters and Dawn on his back, and leads a group of soldiers around the city every day. Too many women are prone to trouble, and now Tyrosh men and women
The proportions are extremely unbalanced, and every time she walks down the street, someone can be caught and beaten.
Logistics officer Garland Tyrell. One of the important positions that maintains the operation of Tyrosh. He is responsible for food and weapons. Food needs to be purchased and transported in large quantities. The wasteland of the Stepstone Islands has only been allocated not long ago, and the first quarter of food output is far away.
It’s still very early, so it’s no good if we don’t have anything to eat.
Navy Commander Orion Velaryon. From an illegitimate son to a full-time official, the Velaryon family seemed to really have a talent for the sea. Witte asked several people to compete in maritime combat capabilities, but he won the most important position. Witte used the borrowed money
Bought some warships from the nobles of the seven countries and gave him the management of most of them to destroy the remaining pirates nearby.
Coast Guard Officer Hooper Redwin controls a small number of warships, is responsible for maritime security, and is also responsible for the construction of towers and beacons on the island.
Finance Officer Gonthor Hightower. Goods must be sold after they are produced, and raw materials must be imported. He has his own industry, and is also responsible for taking care of the public industries of Tyrosh and Veidt. All future production activities will be
It's up to him to manage it. Now he, along with a group of local women, is busy restoring the production of the Tyroshi pear brandy workshop. He is also responsible for the management of the island's entertainment venues.
Tax collector Allard Seaworth. He has been with his father for many years and is proficient in smuggling. He is responsible for the taxation of goods brought by merchants to the port. He is also assigned a team of soldiers. This is the initial construction period, so we must cherish it.
Every penny, if you don’t pay, you will be put in jail.
Intelligence officer Andrew Ismond traveled all over the country holding tourneys, followed Stannis in casinos, and was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. He often dealt with various religions in King's Landing, and his family supported him to go to the Stepstone Islands to hang out.
Count, Werther will make the best use of this second cousin.
The captain of the personal guard, Balon Swann, is tall and powerful, with extraordinary martial arts. Werther himself does not need it, but now that he is a duke, he has to pay attention to pomp and circumstance wherever he goes. It would be good to bring him like this. Now Werther's personal guard
There are six people, and most of their functions are to raise the flag for Werther.
Dickon Tarly, the Dragon Guard Blade Warrior, is too young, so Witte often trains him personally. Oda Weiying needs the most loyal and reliable people to take care of him.
They will live with dragons for a long time. Not only must they have superb martial arts to ensure that the dragons are not disturbed by others, but they must also know some dragon knowledge and appease the angry dragons. Courage is also indispensable. Witte plans to use these skills to not be afraid of the dragons.
He formed a special force with members selected from the Tyrosh army. Now he is the only one.
Garlan Tyrell "The food reserves require golden dragons."
Werther "accurate!"
Garlan Tyrell "The lamp oil on the streets of the city needs gold dragons."
Werther "accurate!"
Gunthor Hightower "A dozen entertainment venues in the city need repairs, Golden Dragon."
Werther "accurate!"
Robert and the others have been active there these days. This is a characteristic of Tyrosh in the past. Some women are very professional and their income is very considerable.
Gunthor Hightower "The pear brandy workshop is in trial production and Jinlong needs to buy barrels."
Werther "accurate!"
Gunthor Hightower "Lord Werther, we have no money!"
"What?" Werther took the account book from Gunsel and looked at it. He really has no money!
Building materials, stone and wood, the purchase of warships, paint for maintenance, shipboards and canvas, metal farm tools, these basic things cost a lot of money, but none of them can be missing!
"Even the barrels containing the wine were stolen by these bandits from the Seven Kingdoms! I'll figure out how to make money. You guys should calculate and list the expenses first." Witte walked out of the large warehouse used as a temporary office and walked to his temporary home. The construction of the Duke's castle has not yet started, and a large amount of money has been spent on city construction and restoration of production. In two days, he will leave for King's Landing to attend Renly's wedding, and he even has no share of the money.
The temporary home was a two-story building that was slightly better in the city. There were a large number of Dornish soldiers guarding the door. When Witte came back, he took the initiative to open the door.
Since the war, Oberon has assigned a large number of his knights and soldiers to Nymeria's command.
Werther walked up to Triene and touched her face with both hands, "Teene, let's talk about it. For the time being, give me your private money evenly."
After "Dali"'s business became bigger, Werther and Terene were 37 points, Werter was 3 points, and Triene was 7 points.
"I also have private money here." Nymeria was eating fruit next to her and looked at Witte.
Triene opened Wirt's hand, squinted her eyes, smiled, and said with her red mouth, "Let's see how you behave!"
Werther tore open his clothes and hung them on a hanger, "Duke Tyrosh will make sure that you two are satisfied!"
