Game of Thrones: Catastrophe

Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 Here comes

It’s great to have a big tree back.

Under the banner of Baratheon's royal power, Leono's policy of promoting agricultural emphasis in the Midsummer Hall was very smooth. Not only did he solve the problem of eating within three years, but he also established a city with a population of 40,000 to 50,000, and even began to use the Red Mountains. The red clay firing pottery developed handicrafts.

There is no local process for firing pottery in Westeros, and pottery and glass products can only be imported from free trade city-states such as Mill and Valentis.

The prices of those pottery shipped across the sea are generally pushed above a silver deer, which is an absolute luxury in ordinary families. In the caves of the Midsummer Hall, these things are burned out hundreds or thousands, and then used Wheatgrass was packed and sold to merchants from Dorn, Hewan and the north.

A pottery bottle can be bought with ten bronze stars, and a pottery bowl can be bought with one bronze star. The pottery in the Midsummer Hall can be used to drive the merchants of Mill and Valentis directly.

Leonor used the pottery burning process in Taojing to cut off the price of Westeros’ pottery much, but also expanded the use market, allowing pottery bowls, pottery bottles, clay jars, etc. to burn in the cave in the summer hall. The pottery utensils began to walk into the homes of ordinary residents, and at the same time, his already shriveled waist bag began to bulge again.

In addition to pottery, Leono also asked the blacksmith to build a large number of plows, hoes, sickles and other agricultural tools while ensuring armor and equipment. However, since there is no iron ore in the territory of the Midsummer Hall, these iron agricultural tools are now in the form of loans. Provide it to farmers in the territory in exchange for the food they grow.

Earn small money through pottery, link grain with iron, implement a policy of valuing agriculture, and at the same time, use the recognition of private ownership of land to stimulate the people's enthusiasm for production. Finally, with the blessing of King Baratheon, Leono's farming work is orderly After the pottery burning, it further remediates agriculture, develops water conservancy, and promotes crop rotation and planting of high-yield crops such as corn and pumpkin.

Another year of unremitting efforts, the overall scale of the Midsummer Hall has emerged, a city built at the end of the Red Mountain Bone Road, a vast city surrounded by mountains and city walls. The mountains south of the city are full of earth and fire kilns, and dust and dust ash are emitted all day long. On the vast plains north of the city are fields after fields, planted with high-yield crops such as wheat, corn, pumpkin, etc.

Today, the Midsummer Hall has completely gotten rid of foreign grain reliance, and even saved up grain for a whole year in the urban ground kilns. The general population of the Midsummer Hall has exceeded 70,000, which has doubled directly. Other people came from the king's land, the river land, and even the river land.

Leonor was very happy that the population had been rising. Nothing could make him more happy than watching the city that he built was prosperous and prosperous, but more and more people also made him feel pressured.

There is nothing else, there is not enough land that can be cultivated.

The Midsummer Hall is close to the Red Mountains, and the existing land here is not rich. Leonor promises that the people who come here have private ownership of the land. The three-year period has passed long ago, and there is not much land left to cultivate near the city. Now.

Leono was not worried about financial difficulties by credit to farmers and controlling the price of grain. Although he allowed private ownership of land, he still retained the collection of land taxes. But the key is that there is no land, how should he attract the next Population, this is a development issue.

If the original policy of valuing agriculture is still in line with the original policy of emphasis on agriculture, then outward expansion is essential.

Leono now finally knows why the ancient Chinese dynasty map has been expanding, and modern European powers have been pursuing colonies in a crazy way. This is essentially seeking the direction of development. The development of all countries has bottleneck periods. Once they fall into a bottleneck period for a long time, then It will enter a recession, which is also the reason why the ancient Chinese dynasties are constantly changing.

The development of the Midsummer Hall is now a bottleneck period.

The east and west sides of the Midsummer Hall are mountains, and have been developed as brick kiln pottery factories. To the south is the territory of the Storm Nobles, and to the north is the Black Harbor of the Dondelion family, which is the frontier nobility loyal to the Iron Throne. Not to mention the storm, they are all untouchable existences.

"Really, why didn't anyone come to hit me?" Leonor sighed a little. Baratheon's royal flag was too dense, which made Dorn and the nobles in the riverside land dare not provoke him. He is here Farming alone has no chance to expand.

Nothing interesting!

Leonor was a little bored. Just as he was thinking about whether he could find fault with others, a raven from the north brought news that the old Duke of Prime Minister Jon Ellin died of illness and brother Robert wanted to He was summoned back to Junlin City and entered the imperial meeting to serve as the Minister of Justice to consolidate the government.

"Is this coming?" Leonor stood on a mountain peak in the Red Mountains holding parchment, looking down at the thriving city at the foot of the mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the plot development, Robert should have wanted to go to the North and take his brother Ed Stark as the new prime minister. Then Ed found out that the Lannister brother and sister committed adultery, which led to Cersei Lan. Nice sent people to assassinate Robert, and the Iron Throne was hanging in the air. Joffrey, Stannis, Renly, Baron Greyjoy and Robb Stark each claimed to have the throne, thus forming the Five Kings. The pattern of the battle.

"Stannis, Renly, Robert..." Leonor held the parchment in his hand and read out the names of his three brothers respectively. He was a little hesitant. Should he go back to King's Landing to save Robert? .

If Robert is saved, will the battle between the Five Kings still happen? If there was no Battle of the Five Kings, would there be other wars?

There is no doubt that without the Battle of the Five Kings, there will be other wars.

In the Westeros continent, the Baratheon family has three territories: King's Territory, Stormland and Frontier. It seems that its strength has jumped above the seven kingdoms, but in fact, cracks have appeared, and the three territories have been separated. It is not different from each other, it depends entirely on Robert's personal contact.

Robert's throne is not stable. He did not ascend to the throne with absolute strength, but with Baratheon's roots in dragon blood, he ascends to the throne with the strong support of the Ellin family and the Stark family, and then Welcoming Cersei Lannister to stabilize the situation is just a compromise, and there will always be times when the compromise situation collapses.

Cersei Lannister, whom Robert married, was not a good person. She committed adultery with her younger brother and gave birth to the current crown prince Joffrey. Leonor could not accept the incest blonde from the bottom of his heart. The child became king of the Baratheon dynasty.

Not to mention the nearest thing, but the farthest thing, the Targaryen family was not completely destroyed back then. The Crazy King Eris II still had a pair of children in the continent of Essos, and the beggar King Viseris was dubbed by netizens. Daenerys of Dragon Mom.

These two people are now alone, but among the seven countries in Westeros, there is absolutely no shortage of guys who want to borrow them to make trouble, such as Donne.

The war will definitely begin, the difference is just how it will begin.

"Then come on! Robert, don't say that brothers don't help you." Leonor looked at the city of Midsummer Hall in the distance and made a decision in his heart. He planned to help Robert. He was a brother, and Robert was The construction of the Midsummer Hall has given me great help.
