Game of Thrones: Catastrophe

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 Westeros Climate

The realm of Taoism is divided into ten levels: concentration of the spirit, out of the shell, night tour, day tour, expelling objects, manifestation of the body, possession of the body, thunder tribulation, and yang god.

Among them, the main ability to cultivate to the realm of possession is to force the soul to a certain living body, while the later body grabbing is to completely abandon the body, and the soul exists alone, and is called a ghost immortal.

Leonor found magic that was almost like Taoist from the world of Westeros, and he was naturally overjoyed.

It’s just a pity that the bachelors don’t seem to like magic, which prevents him from getting more information.

Soon, Robert took Stannis to Herrenburg, and Uncle Habert, although he was old, also followed him.

All the affairs of Windsburg were managed by Krisson, appointed by Robert, while Leonor served as the nominal acting city lord, serving as an eraser seal for the old bachelor.

What he had to do every day was to take Renli to sit in the middle of the long table in the main hall of Fengxi Castle, eating pies and drinking juice, and watching how the old bachelor mediates disputes for the nobles and civilians in the Stormland.

The Baratheon family has received the title of vassal and guardianship of the Stormland for generations. Among them, the title of vassal is the right to manage the nobles, and guardians have military power.

The two can actually be combined into one, because the nobles are lords, and the lord has all privileges over his territory. As long as he does not betray the kingdom and tradition, he can do anything. Therefore, there are many strange things such as the right to first night, the marriage tax, etc. .

The nobles who possess the positions of vassal and guardianship are the great nobles who truly dominate one side. Like the Tuli family in the rushing city, although they are strong, they lack the power to command the entire Hejian land.

The nobles of the Stormland and Westeros were based on their families. They served the throne. When the throne needed it, they needed to summon knights to help fight.

The monarch also needs to help them maintain their rule, mediate aristocratic disputes, and litigate civil litigation.

When Duke Stephen died, there were many disputes among the nobles, such as the shepherds of a certain family who declared that the second son of Earl Kavoren of Youlutun robbed his sheep, and the illegitimate son of the Grandesen family in Quanshicheng Deer and so on. (In the existing law, only nobles can hunt deer.)

After Robert himself smashed the second son of Earl Tunkavoren with an iron hammer and cut off the hands of the Grandesen family's illegitimate son.

Now it is Leonor's turn to be the rubber seal, and the nobles' disputes are pitifully rare. Only two farmers have disputes over the fields, but they are quickly sentenced. Then the officials in the territory discuss this year's How to deal with it.

The climate in Westeros is unstable, just like the great voyage has only one season per island, and Westeros has only one climate every year.

Sometimes it is winter, sometimes it is spring, and sometimes it is summer, so the four seasons alternate.

The climate is stable most of the time, as long as it is not in the cold winter or in the long summer dry season, the climate is acceptable.

However, according to the bachelor's calculations of the school towns, this year is the winter festival, and the climate in the first half of the year is as cold as imagined.

But before the cold year was over, the climate began to warm up, and I even heard that the winter snow roses in the gardens of Winterfell were blooming.

The north is much colder than the south, and the roses in Winterfell are all open, which means the climate is really getting warmer.

It is a good thing to have a warm and pleasant climate. After all, in that case, farmers do not need to suffer from severe cold and hunger. They can serve the fields with peace of mind and wait for the harvest.

But it is different for the nobles who have accumulated food for a whole year.

The arrival of spring early not only means that temperatures rise and stored food deteriorates, but also means that civilians do not need food and they will lose money.

Yes, the cold and hungry winter is the opportunity for noble men to make a fortune.

They have accumulated a lot of food, and will increase the price of grain in the cold winter, and at the same time issue loans to the people and merchants. Nine outs and thirteen outs and three outs are just a basic operation.

Now that spring is coming early, the nobles who originally wanted to make a big profit have become big losses, so they began to ask the boss to solve the problem.

This is also the responsibility of being a vassal. We must ensure the interests of the nobles under our command, otherwise who would like to recognize you as the boss.

Master Kelisen's solution was to appease everyone, and then help find a way to trade city-states to sell grain, and quickly give out the grain in his hands.

Yes, Baratheon is also a member of the evil feudal aristocrat. He also participated in the exploitation of civilians and speculation. He did not lend money, but all lenders had to pay taxes to Baratheon.

The boss may lose money, and the nobles are not able to say anything, so they can only be temporarily suppressed.

Leonor figured out the whole story and felt uncomfortable watching it from the side. He didn't want to care about this matter, but he thought about the importance of food to war, but he didn't dare to be careless.

So when there was no one, he chatted with Krisen and asked if he could collect some food reserves in the castle, but Krisen refused:

"No, our existing technology cannot store too much food, and the reserved food must be sold immediately, otherwise it will rot."

Fengxibao's grain storage work will only be carried out in the middle of each year, using three years to reserve the previous year's grain, and then clear the stock and sell it in the winter year.

This not only maintains public order in the territory and avoids starvation everywhere, but also makes a lot of money. It can be said that it is a way to achieve both worlds.

Leono's method of storing grain would not work, and he has no technology to improve his grain reserves now, but he has other opinions:

"Can we make grain into wine for storage? The grain will be damaged, and wine probably won't be!"

"Wine?" A surprised light released in Krisen's old eyes.

"Yes! The wine should be stored for a long time, and it doesn't matter if it's sold for a few years."

Krisen thought for a moment, feeling that the plan was very feasible, so he nodded:

"Maybe you can try it, Leonor, you think very well and should use your brain more in these aspects. In the future, you can help Robert manage the stormland with Stannis."

He also praised Leono, which made Leono a little proud and grinned.

So, a simple workshop was quickly set up in Fengxi Castle, and Krisen invited the winemaker Borede, and recruited the farmers during the slack season.

Bags of barley, oats and corn are carried out from the cellar and warehouse, soaked in a pot and cooked, then fermented and filtered, and after various processes, they are brewed into wine and stored.

Also reminded by Leonor, Krisen felt that the wine was easy to store and could be sold to various nobles. Therefore, after informing Robert of Herrenberg, he received his approval, he said that he would buy the food from the nobles at a low price. .

The grain in the cellar of Fengxiburg was quickly replaced with barrels of beer, ale and fire wine, and piles of lees were piled up in the stable.

The wines were stored in the cellar, waiting to be consumed or sold.

Drinking can offset the expenses of the banquet, while selling can make a small profit by waiting for the price of the wine, but not now.

After all, it is not only Baratheon who wants to turn grain into wine to sell, but only families like Baratheon have the capital to store wine and sell it on standby.

Overall, Baratheon's small profits have opened up new industries and gained some reputation.

Bachelor Krisson, who handled the matter, was very happy and praised Leonor's wisdom whenever he met everyone, but these were quickly broken by another more explosive news.

There was something going on at the martial arts competition that Robert went to Herrenburg to attend.
