Chapter 216 The division of labor between the boss and the secretary

"Is that all there is to it?" Ian asked.

"No, there is another thing," Celia shook her head. "Roel caught old Graztan in the manor outside the city. He is the grandson of the good Lord wearing the pearl-tasseled tokar robe. He wanted to Know how to deal with this matter.”

Ian, who had been dozing off, suddenly became more energetic.

"Does anyone know about this?" he asked quickly.

"Roll, Bronn, the two Unsullied, me and you."

"Then let it go!" Ian said immediately, "No, that's not right," he quickly changed his words, "Like this, let my new NPC champion Gladiator Sama break into that kid's residence in the middle of the night and kill him. Rescue him and take him to Meereen to the Great Masters to cry out about Femor's atrocities."

"Don't you want to offend Meereen in the short term?"

"How dare they offend me, who has eight thousand Unsullied, without violating Meereen's core interests?" Ian sneered.

"There will be no action in Meereen, but Fermor and the others will feel the thorn in their backs because their enemy escaped death, thus deepening their dependence on us?" Celia thought for a moment and said.

"A lonely yin cannot grow, a lonely yang cannot grow, and yin and yang are balanced." Ian did not say this in common language, but in his own native language. "We and the enemy are inevitable opposites, and the enemy can never be destroyed." Yes, if the external enemies are eliminated, new enemies will appear inside.

Ensuring the existence of external enemies is the key to ensuring internal unity. Since we can so easily create an enemy that poses no threat to ourselves, what reason is there not to do it? And if NPC Sama gains the trust of old Graztan's grandson, we can have another mouthpiece in Meereen. "

"A lonely shade cannot last, a lonely sun cannot give birth," Celia repeated in a low voice, and then smiled, "I have no other questions."

"Then." Ian made a farewell gesture, "I believe you still have a lot of work to do."

"Farewell." Celia gave a slight salute before standing up and leaving.

As soon as the conditions for fifth-class slavery and temporary promotion were announced, a ridiculous carnival immediately broke out in the Worm River Basin.

Under the crazy backstabbing of each other by the slaves and the false accusations made by the slaves against the freedmen, the originally chaotic situation soon began to become more chaotic. Of course, this refers to the degree rather than the time.

After just two weeks, everything calmed down.

With the emergence of the first batch of high-level slaves, the entire Worm River Basin began to enter an indescribable state of 'order'.

Depressed and heavy, everyone is like a machine. They dare not say a word to their companions for fear that they will accidentally become the target of informing.

Anyone who has seen this kind of order will involuntarily think of the word purgatory.

Of course, Ian did not see these scenes, at least not through his own eyes, because he never left Astapor City at all.

During this time Ian wrote the first draft of his officer's manual and had dozens of copies copied by slave scribes.

Afterwards, Ian selected 20 people from his Black Falcon Guards and Gith nobles to serve as his new army officers. Originally, Ian planned to choose half from each side.

It is a pity that Ian only found a total of four people who can speak Valyrian in his "Direct Guards". Since all of his soldiers are Valyrian-speaking, Ian cannot choose some people who speak the common language. The officer came out.

As a last resort, he had to recruit all the remaining officer quotas from the Gith. Most of them were nobles, but there was also a commoner and a newly promoted second-class slave. For the latter, Ian directly promoted him As a first-class slave, you set a good example for other slaves.

Ian was personally responsible for the officer selection process from beginning to end. Most of the officers he selected came from the families of the Unsullied instructors, and they themselves had certain military qualities.

Moreover, choosing the young nobles of Astapor to be the officers of his new army can be regarded as the compensation given by Ian to the nobles of Astapor during the slave annexation operation of Worm River. Most of these people are the second sons of the family who have no inheritance rights.

For them, being able to follow a restorer to conquer a distant continent is far better than being a sideline with no status in the family. And their family members were happy to see their second sons move as far away as they could.

After the officers were selected, Ian began to take time out to teach them every day. Before officially letting them start training for the new army, he arranged two months of courses for them.

While Ian was teaching, the Unsullied instructor who was responsible for training the slaves of the Gith Legion next door came to the class a lot, so he simply didn’t stop at it and dressed himself in the traditional Tokar of the Gith people. Robe, began to refer to himself as the 'Spiritual Gith', a move that undoubtedly won the favor of the nobles of Astapor.

While Ian was building a new army in a relaxed and leisurely manner, Celia was busy to death.

She first sent people to collect enough sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, and conducted an experiment to configure gunpowder according to the proportions.

But unfortunately, no matter how many times she tried, or even tried changing the proportions in the formula, the gunpowder failed to detonate successfully.

In desperation, she could only guess in the summary report to Ian whether this world with magic was essentially different from the earth in some aspects.

After temporarily losing hope of obtaining gunpowder, the urgency of building a crossbow-making factory inevitably increased to a higher level, so Celia hired some craftsmen with a lot of money and purchased a large number of slave labor in Meereen. Capital was quickly invested to build the first factory. Although there is still some time before it can officially start production, this matter is considered to be on the right track.

Also being dealt with by Celia was the issue of the plate armor production factory. Blast furnace ironmaking and hydraulic forging hammers were not processes that required technological breakthroughs. The professionals recruited/purchased with heavy sums of money, under the guidance of Celia, soon The drawings of relevant equipment were completed and put into production of the first batch of equipment.

Although hydraulic hammers cannot produce homogeneous iron plates, which will lead to uneven thickness and uneven quality of the final manually processed plate armor products, but for the requirement of 'armed infantry', these are not important, Ian The only requirement for plate armor production in the new factory is output.

There was no time to wait for the results here. After finishing the work in Astapor City, Celia rushed to the east bank of the Worm River without stopping.

After arriving at the manor where Rohr was stationed in the upper reaches of the Worm River, Celia immediately began to count their gains in this operation, and at the same time began to coordinate the specific production work of the slaves.

The staple food in Slaver's Bay is bread, and the main food crop here is wheat.

But according to Celia’s statistics, more than half of the farmland on both sides of the Worm River is used to grow olives, cherries, figs, dates, jujubes, melons, pomegranates, walnuts, green peppers, grapes, carrots and other cash crops. .

Although the slaves are starving, and although Astapor relies on imports of staple food, for the Astapor nobles, their own enjoyment of life is the top priority.

Such an agricultural structure is obviously incompatible with the crisis of 'The Long Night is Coming', so in Celia's initial plan, she will cut down most of the crops and use most of the land and slaves to grow staple foods. .

This staple food is tentatively designated as wheat, but before leaving Astapor, Celia had already ordered people to go to the ports of nearby major cities to contact maritime merchants from all over the world and try to purchase high-yielding crops from them. seed.

If she succeeds in finding potatoes, corn or rice, she will conduct further research on nearby land and decide on a final planting plan.

There is no spring and autumn in this world, only long summer and long winter.

In summer, crops can be planted and harvested without interruption.

Slaver's Bay has a mild climate and fertile land. She needs to use the end of the long summer to stockpile enough food to supply a certain population to fight the long night before the long night officially falls.
