After Viserys left the hall, a guard quickly chased him.
"His Majesty!"
The guards chased him and told him that Petyr Baelish, the usurper's messenger, wanted to see the King alone.
"oh?"
"He wants to see me alone?"
The silver-haired young man was not surprised by this. If a person like Littlefinger didn't engage in some intrigues, he wouldn't be him.
The stage where he is best at displaying himself is never an upright performance on the stage, but hiding in the dark and constantly provoking people's conflicts through conspiracy.
"Can."
Viserys nodded without hesitation.
"Tell Littlefinger that I don't have much free time, so I'd better think about what I want to say now."
He doesn't like to play around with the other party, which wastes his time and energy. His words are a warning to Littlefinger to think clearly before seeing him again.
"clear!"
The guard nodded and retreated.
Wow
Then Viserys held the reins with one hand and grabbed the saddle ring with the other hand, turned over and got on his mount.
Several guards were on his left and right to protect him. They also got on their horses and Black Insect accompanied them. Then the group left the palace and rushed to the blacksmith workshop.
Master Craftsman Tob Mott was appointed Minister of Craftsman by Viserys. Although he has not yet come to attend the Royal Council, it is only a matter of time. There will also be Minister of Agriculture in the future.
Viserys attaches great importance to the development of productivity. In an era without assembly lines and mechanized production, craftsmen are the most basic industrial productivity.
Blacksmiths can forge weapons and armor, folk iron pots and kitchen knives, hoes for hoeing, etc. Carpenters can build houses, create large siege weapons, etc.
Therefore, Viserys's first priority for the country was agriculture.
This is very similar to the nobles of Westeros, and it is more in line with Viserys's own character who focuses on farming. If he wants to build Andalus and Pentos into a farming civilization, there must be no problems with food.
The second most important thing is craftsmen, because craftsmen are creativity and can support the economic and military foundation of a huge country.
The third is the traditional free trade of trading city-states and the prosperity and development of commerce.
Viserys believes that the prosperity of business must be based on strength. Without strength, everything is empty talk, and gold ingots cannot be protected.
Finally, there is the issue of education, but for today's era, establishing a large number of schools to popularize education is a high-investment and low-return project.
Viserys certainly knew the benefits of education, but it was too advanced for this era. He also wanted to abolish the role of the school by distributing knowledge, but now was not the best time.
This era only needs hard-working farmers and brave soldiers. The talents cultivated through universal education cannot be reasonably absorbed by society, and will instead become a burden.
Because the political structure of civilization mainly relies on the autonomy of the nobility, and the education of the nobility naturally does not need to worry about it.
Viserys stripped off the military power of the nobles within the new dynasty, and restored all military power to the king. This was already a great progress.
If the power of governance is further stripped away, Viserys is afraid that if he takes too big a step, he will easily withdraw his eggs.
Some of the Westeros nobles on the other side of the Narrow Sea have contacted themselves, but most of them are firmly resisting because of the New Deal.
Therefore, the meal still had to be eaten one bite at a time. Viserys only provided a channel for education within the army. After all, he could fully control the military power. The junior officers who were promoted could get the opportunity to learn and come to Pentos to receive education.
In the name of "learning to become a noble", teach them how to read and write. After all, knighthood is the threshold of nobility.
At the same time, it also teaches some strategies and knowledge that can be used on the battlefield to improve the overall quality of basic officers.
In addition to daily training, weapons and equipment, and generous reward incentives, the combat effectiveness of an army also plays a large role in the command ability of grassroots officers.
Because ordinary soldiers are directly exposed to the orders of grassroots officers, not the orders of the regiment commander or senior commander.
…
"His Majesty."
"This is the dragon scale armor tailor-made for you Unsullied soldiers. Please take a look at it."
The gray-haired master blacksmith held a pair of heavy armor and handed it to Viserys.
Although this armor is a bit heavy to hold, it is much lighter when worn on the body. It also has good defensive capabilities and has been reasonably strengthened in key areas.
Injury to the chest, throat, joints, etc. will most likely result in death, while injuries to some areas will result in an instant loss of combat effectiveness.
From a cruel point of view, the lives of soldiers are worthless, just like leeks, there will be another after you cut them.
The general should squeeze the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the maximum extent to ensure that they can kill someone with their teeth in the end.
"When making these armors, I also considered Master Black Bug's opinions, such as on the elbows."
When talking about his professional knowledge, Master Tob Mott chattered endlessly.
People who work in this line of work put in more effort but get less benefit, and they are also easy to take the blame. His Majesty the King must seize the opportunity after a long time, at least not to make any mistakes.
"very good."
Viserys looked at this new set of lightweight and extremely strong armor and nodded with satisfaction.
Its helmet still retains the design of the long spikes erected by the Unsullied.
This should be the suggestion put forward by Black Worm, because it will make it easier for the Unsullied warriors to become more familiar with each other and quickly distinguish who is the commander on the chaotic battlefield.
Viserys fiddled with the iron pieces of the dragon scale armor in his hand. There was a Targaryen three-headed fire dragon emblem on the chest of the black armor, and the whole body exuded a chill.
Then he raised his head and looked at the 5,500 pairs of dragon scale armors that had been packed into boxes and piled densely throughout the warehouse.
Most of them are made for replacement of defective products or battle damage.
Then the silver-haired young man turned his head and spoke to Black Insect, the commander of the Unsullied who was accompanying him.
"These armors are made for the Unsullied warriors. We will send someone to pick them up later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Black Bug's face was solemn. He held the spear in his hand and knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude to his master.
In fact, Viserys did not lie to Petyr Baelish, and he had no need to.
As a king, he became very busy as soon as he returned to Pentos. It was a rare leisure time when he was out, and there was a backlog of official duties that Oberyn and Rhaenys had not dealt with.
After the silver-haired young man inspected this batch of delivered armors, he immediately went to the Golden Regiment's station to see how the morale and training preparations of the Golden Regiment soldiers were.
Although Viserys has always said that there is no rush to send troops, sending troops will be a matter of time.
Viserys couldn't just sit back and watch Westeros turn into a monster. The Night King had really expanded beyond control. In the end, it was he who was unlucky.
Many commanders of the Golden Company greeted him respectfully. Many of them were descendants of those who participated in the Blackfyre Rebellion, but now they are loyal to the legitimate heirs of Targaryen.
After leaving the Golden Company, Viserys thought for a moment, and then decided to go and see the status of the Dragonstone fleet.
The Sea Minister of the new dynasty, Earl Geoffrey, who had just resigned from the post of Prime Minister, was already old.
The battle against Westeros can almost be said to be the last shining point in his life.
It was also his lifelong wish after escaping from Dragonstone to restore the Targaryen dynasty, so the old man dedicated himself to commanding and training the new Dragonstone navy.
After Viserys arrived at the Dragonstone Fleet station, he heard news that surprised him.
"Um?"
"The old man's bastard son left in Westeros is here?"
