Game of Thrones: Catastrophe

After three months of preparation, Leono organized an army of 2,000 people in King's Landing, and stored a large amount of food, and began to officially head towards the Midsummer Hall in the border area.

The Midsummer Hall is located at the end of the Bone Road in the Red Mountains, at the junction of the Stormland, the King's Territory and the Frontier. This was once the Summer Palace of Targaryen. The Targaryen royal family came here for vacation every summer. An alternative summer resort, but when Leonor led his team here, there were only a pile of ruins and rocks left here.

The former Midsummer Hall was a palace where Aegon V, the 15th King of Targaryen, held a ceremony here, trying to hatch the dragon eggs of the Targaryen family with wildfires, but the ceremony failed and the flames caused by the wildfire swept across the entire world. The palace was abandoned, and the Targaryen royal family did not rebuilt it later.

Leonor stood on a hill on a black horse, looking at the ruins that once was a palace but now uninhabited, and couldn't help but sigh.

This is a bit difficult to start with! Everything needs to be rebuilt. I really want to go back and inherit Fengxi Castle. Even Longshi Island should be stronger than this.

"Sir, Lord Bar Grandson of Quanshi City, Lord Gringer Kavoren of Youlutun, Lord Carl Ferr of Silver Axe of Luomu City are here." Balistan came over on a white horse.

"Ha, they are all my old acquaintances!" Leonor turned his head slightly and smiled. These three were nobles who belonged to the Baratheon family in the border areas. Well, Brother Robert raised an army back then. At that time, they also tried to stand on the side of the royal party until Old Fair was blown by Robert with a hammer, and his son Silver Axe and two other jazz were thrown into Robert's command.

Although the actions of the three nobles are shameless, one thing is to say, after they surrendered to Robert, they did make a lot of efforts in the war of seizing the throne.

Old Grandson of Quanshi City died of excessive injury in the Battle of Trident River, while Kavolun of Youlutun died in the Battle of Baiyangtan to cover Robert. Now these two families are here They were all new successor heads. Leonor did not treat them slowly, and asked someone to set up a banquet to entertain them, and praised the bravery of their ancestors to show kindness to the three nobles.

Now the three nobles have been loyal to Baratheon, have learned about the enthronement order issued by Robert, and know what the big and small kings are. In the face of Leonor's show of kindness, they are naturally humble and expressed their willingness to rebuild Leonor for Leonor The Semir Hall has worked hard to help.

Leonor naturally directly refused the idea expressed by the three nobles. These three nobles said it nicely, but in fact, they just drove the people to help, and stood aside and flattered.

Westeros forbids slavery, but the foster people who had cultivated the aristocratic land had to provide labor for the aristocrats free of charge, which was equivalent to an alternative serf.

Leono did not want his base to be built in the tears of the people, nor did he need it.

"I don't need the staff anymore. I have made the future plan for the Midsummer Hall and arranged for the follow-up staff to come. However, I hope everyone can help me in other aspects, such as selling some food to me. Please do not restrict some intentional free people from coming to me," Leonor smiled at the three nobles with a smile.

Leono had no other men, there were enough craftsmen, and the newly recruited army could also serve as laborers. He did not lack the staff to rebuild the Midsummer Hall, but the food and the population of the future territory.

The three nobles hesitated about Leonor's requirement to buy food and not restrict population migration, but finally agreed.

"Okay, since you don't object, I will issue my first decree now." Seeing that the three nobles agreed, Leono's smile stopped in an instant, and began to read the decree in a deep voice:

"From today, all free people who come to our territory can freely reclaim the land after making a declaration and exempt personal taxation. After three years of successful reclaim, the land can be owned by the people, as long as the land is paid on time Taxation is protected by my laws, in the name of Baratheon.”

Westeros is a feudal system. Except for the common laws of the king's peace, the six principles, the widow's law, the law of succession, etc., each lord is free to make rules. It is only a trivial matter to levy labor and increase taxes. There is even a place where the first night right exists.

"Three sirs, this is my first decree. I will have someone post these decrees to your castle. Please keep your promises and do not stop the free people from coming to my territory." Leonor announced the decree. As he waved his hand, a soldier immediately took out the announcement paper with the deer badge.

The three nobles could not come back to their senses at all, because this was the first time they had heard the promise of private ownership of the land.

To be honest, in Westeros, the feudal system, people simply cannot understand the concept of private land.

All the land belongs to lords and nobles. Anyone who hears this is confused if he agrees to share the land with the people.

In their opinion, Leonor is like a big fool, a fool who distributes his own property to others.

Because of the shock, even if the three nobles came to their senses, they couldn't find anything to say. Even after the banquet was over, they were still shocked.

Leonor ignored the reactions of the nobles, and asked someone to post the announcement to the frontier, the storm land, and the various noble territories in the king's territory, and then began to prepare for the reconstruction of the Midsummer Hall.

The Midsummer Hall was originally a palace, not a castle, and there were not many fortifications, which was inconsistent with Leono's idea. He re-planned the castle, and then mobilized his soldiers to clean up the original ruins and sorted the stone. Then the craftsmen began to work.

The craftsmen who were summoned, according to the plan provided by Leonor, dug out caves in the Red Mountains, and then burned bricks with the excavated terracotta soil to capture the cave lions and black bears. The Taoist scriptures record The method of burning out red flame bricks and then building the city wall with cement bonding.

Soon, a red city wall rose from the end of the Bone Road of the Red Mountains, connecting the mountains on both sides, with women's walls for archery and beacons.

The city wall was built at the beginning, followed by flat-top houses. Leonor did not plan his own palace or castle within the construction plan, and he only lived in temporary residential buildings on weekdays, which made him effective. It avoided being assassinated and gained a huge reputation between civilians and soldiers.

While building the city without stopping, a considerable number of civilians rushed from the King's Landing City and the Stormland to the newly built Midsummer Hall.

Leonor complied with his promise, provided tents and farm tools for these free people, and measured the land on the plain, exempting their personal taxes and short-term land taxes, and obtaining the land after three years of cultivation.

This series of practices made more and more civilians happy. Under the temptation of the land, they brought their families to the south and cultivated hope on this land.

In the first year when Leono arrived at the Midsummer Hall, there was a lot of people on the ruins here, and countless food and materials were transported here from King's Landing and Stormland.

The following year, the teams transporting food began to shrink, tall city walls and houses rose from the ground, and Leonor named this new city the "New Summer Hall"...

In the third year, the Midsummer Hall no longer needed foreign food. On the contrary, countless pits were opened in the Red Mountains, covering layers of high temperatures. The pottery produced by the craftsmen under Leono began to come out of here and transport it to the north and south...
