Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

boom--

The door was closed hastily, showing the embarrassment of the person who closed the door.

Rega chuckled, holding up the letter and feeling happy for a while.

The letter said that Jenny was pregnant.

The month is very small, probably the last time I was in Seagull Town.

Lei Jia's heart felt warm and he muttered: "I'm not bad at giving birth, either."

In my mind, I was already thinking about my unborn third child.

I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, or if it will take on the appearance of the Aelin family.

He vaguely remembered that Targaryen had a custom of keeping the firstborn with its mother.

That is, if a Targaryen man marries a foreign woman, the first child born to him will inherit the mother's appearance.

Rhaegar thought about it for a while, then smiled and said to himself: "They are all my children, and there is nothing wrong with the Arryn family."

Rhaenyra's children were destined to occupy the positions of the eldest and second sons, and there was no need to worry about Jeyne's children competing for them.

It is enough for him to accept the child wholeheartedly.

Besides, looking like the Arryn family, it would be more logical to inherit the Eyrie and the Vale in the future.

"Hmm~"

Rhaegar rolled his eyes, thinking ahead.

Before Jane had a birthright, the child she gave birth to became an illegitimate child.

But the war is not over yet, and the plan to marry more is still far away.

Not to mention Rhaenyra.

The Church of the Seven Gods will be the first to jump out and scream, and many nobles who abide by tradition will also object.

There are also those lords who are opposed to women inheriting their territories, and they will also use this to criticize Jenny's duke status.

Rega thought about it, but there was no good way.

If you want to break the rules, you have to be strong enough.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the blue sky of Myr.

Talk about it.

Mir is located in the Mir Bay surrounded on three sides. The city-state is connected to the Mir River at the mouth of the sea. The location is quite ideal.

The creativity of city-states is not low either.

Various light industries are very developed, such as high-density lenses for astronomical observation, crossbow arrows fired three times in a row, thin lace...

The architecture of the city-state adopts the style of combining water and land.

There are pavilions and pavilions made of white stones, and the city is filled with fountains, statues, and squares.

Winding rivers flow along the ditches inside and outside the city-state, connecting the ports on the west bank with the Mir River in the east.

There are many wealthy people in the city, and several small banks have even been opened.

However, in order not to arouse public anger, Rhaegar did not touch the bank for the time being and waited for the consequences.

Looking at it, Lei Jia was in a daze and murmured softly: "What a treasure land."

Among the three women in the kingdom, his favorites are Lys and Myr.

Reese has the largest population and the brothel industry is so popular that there are so many wealthy people.

Mill is versatile and the best in the world of handicrafts.

The city-state is located on the land of Essos, making it easy to colonize and expand its territory.

According to his original plan, he wanted to leave Reese to Damon and take 50% of his city-state tax to build an overseas transit station.

However, Daemon was too arrogant and took Tyrosh, which was relatively industrially declining.

In addition to the prosperous slave trade, Telos is most famous for its mercenaries.

After acquiring this castle, trying to eliminate slavery is like removing bones and cutting flesh, and stabilizing unemployed mercenaries is another difficult task.

However, if Damon is happy, then let him ask for trouble.

See if he has management skills.

"Mir, a land worthy of development."

Lei Jia's purple eyes were filled with starlight, and thoughts were racing in his mind.

He was considering the alternative measure of delaying the matter by marrying more than once.

Even if the child cannot inherit the Eagle's Nest, he must be forced to bear the Targaryen surname.

If no one welcomes the child, he will enclose the child in Myr.

He is not afraid that if there are too many children, there will be trouble between brothers.

It is only right for each person to divide a territory and keep the blade pointed outward.

Harrenhal, the Prince's Palace, Lys, and Myr, except for the eldest son who inherited the throne, were enough for four children to be divided.

If that wasn't enough, he'd knock Dorne down.

Although Dorne is located in a desert, there are still many fertile oasis lands.

It's enough to entrust several children.

He wanted to emulate Aegon the Conqueror and his great-grandfather Jaehaerys.

Conquering land while having children.

With more land, there are more children.

Children rule the land, and having children continues to conquer new lands.

As there was more new land, more children were born.

As generations go by, the Targaryens will only become stronger and stronger, and will not fall into endless internal strife.

Rhaegar's mind was clear.

This is not the time of ancient Valyria, when there were forty dragon king families competing with each other.

There is no master... No, there are lands without dragons everywhere, and the Targaryen with dragons can be called the chosen one.

Tasting the sweetness of conquering the Three Women's Kingdom, Rhaegar became enthusiastic about conquering the land.

Invasion...cross out

Essos was originally a colony of the Freehold Empire.

The Targaryen regained the lost territory and was rebuilding the glory of the Free Fortress.

After thinking this, Rega stood up, picked up the dropped carving knife and went out.

He is only 16 years old and is about to become the father of three children.

According to the gift of longevity, he can live to be a hundred years old.

With the current rate of childbirth, it is difficult to estimate how many children there will be.

He was going out to fight for his heir's territory.

…

Mill, on the outskirts of East City.

"Hiss-"

"Hiss..."

Two giant dragons, one black and one red, circled and led the cavalry below.

Looking back, you can vaguely see the thick walls of Myr.

The glutton flapped its broad wings, glided as low as possible, and explored toward the southeast.

About a quarter of an hour or so.

A cavalry team of several hundred people set foot on a wide avenue paved with black dragon stone.

This is the Valyrian Way, a special route used for transporting supplies and military construction during the ancient Valyrian period.

The road forked in two directions, one leading to Pentos in the north, and the other to Volantis on the River Rhoyne.

Of course, this is the general direction.

There were more than nine free trade cities in the west of Essos continent, and there were many more prosperous towns.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of ancient Valyria, it was burned to the ground.

Today, the road to Pentos disappears halfway.

The road to Volantis was even more completely destroyed, ending in a barren land.

"Hiss-"

The glutton roared, jumped over the low barren woods, and flew over the broad Mill River.

The river flows rapidly and flows all the way to the southeast.

At the end of the river is a large piece of unclaimed land located to the east of the three city-states of Myr, Tyrosh, and Lys.

Also known as the Land of Disputes.

In the middle of the disputed land, there are two huge inland lakes with no specific names.

The Mill River leads to the inland lake, connecting the northern half of the disputed land.

Rhaegar sat on the back of the dragon, overlooking the long river and land below.

If the river is fast, there will be less sediment accumulated in the river channel.

Irrigated by the river, the land is fertile enough and the mountains are covered with various shrubs and herbs.

What satisfied Rhaegar the most.

The land is flat enough, a standard plain terrain.

To the northeast of Mir are the endless hills of Norvos.

To the east is the intersection of the Lorne River and Thern River, forming a natural partition.

In other words.

The land is ideal for farming.

After flying for a while, Rhaegar ordered Glutton to land.

The giant dragon picked a river bend and its huge body slowly landed on the ground.

"Hiss..."

Melias circled twice and landed not far away carrying Rhaenys.

The aunt and nephew looked at each other and silently surveyed the nearby land.

After a while, the cavalry of the Second Sons Regiment led by Robb arrived.

Robb dismounted, ordered the brothers of the Second Sons to turn around, and led a few of his capable men towards Rhaegar.

"Prince, what are your orders?"

Robb looked serious.

Rhaegar waved his hand: "Don't be so nervous and look more at the land we conquered."

The Kingdom of the Three Daughters was broken, and the so-called disputed lands were transformed into Targaryen lands.

Robb was a smart man. When he looked at the river bend where the fine sand accumulated, he couldn't help but think of the scene of running along the road.

River water, fertile soil, rich vegetation.

In terms of land alone, it is not inferior to the stone mill he entrusted, but it lacks the population and towns.

Rhaegar didn't like to waste time and said frankly: "None of the brothers in the Second Sons have fiefs, and there are no lords in the disputed areas. They deserve praise."

To truly control the three city-states, the disputed areas must be exploited.

Fortunately for Mill, hundreds of thousands of slaves have light industrial skills, and wealth can be gained by reopening trade.

Lys and Tyrosh basically made their fortunes by selling slaves, brothels, and mercenaries, which are prohibited in Westeros.

Rhaegar personally was not willing to profit from this.

The slave population is piling up and the proletarians are numerous. Land is the solution.

Enfeoff the proletarian knights who are loyal to him, carve up some slaves as subjects, and develop the territory rooted in Essos.

Robb was surprised when he heard this. His mind was spinning, but he stopped talking.

Rhaegar asked: "Say what you think. You are the leader of the Second Sons, and you should fight for his interests."

"Prince, with all due respect."

Robb organized some words and said with a look of embarrassment: "The land is indeed fertile, but the brothers of the Second Sons are all proletarians. Even with the development order issued by you, they have no money to operate the territory."

A qualified noble territory must have at least one castle.

Secondly, large amounts of money were invested in farm tools for cultivation, grain to feed the people, and mills to grind rice and flour.

Robb was confident that if his brothers had the money, they would rather live out their lives in Lys's brothel.

Rhaegar thought it made sense, he had thought about these issues a long time ago.

There is so much land in Westeros, but there are not many proletarian knights who start from scratch and create a new noble family.

The pinnacle of the life of the second son of a nobleman, except for the death of his higher-ranking brother, is to serve the great nobleman.

For ordinary people, being able to become a knight is considered a blessing from the Seven Gods.

The proletarian knights were the mainstream of society, providing human resources for the current nobles.

Rega thought for a while and said seriously: "The royal family can provide part of the loan. How many people do you think dare to expand territory?"

"Prince, the treasury does not have that much money."

Robb looked sad.

As the commander of the royal guard, he often listened to complaints from Finance Minister Lin Man.

"I know better than you how much money the treasury has."

Rhaegar's expression remained unchanged and he said: "If I want to open up the wasteland, I need at least thirty new lords who dare to try."

"Thirty people..."

Robb's face softened slightly and he gritted his teeth: "We can find it, but we need enough money and the help of a bachelor and a doctor."

Without money and technology, failure is the main theme.

"No problem, survey the land suitable for reclamation along the Mill River Basin."

Rhaegar patted Robb hard on the shoulder, feeling confident.

There are knights from the Second Sons who are willing to be lords, and there are slaves who have no property to serve as subjects, which is just right.

As for where the money comes from?

Iron bank!

Turning his head, Rhaegar looked at Rhaenys expectantly and asked, "Aunt, can the Velaryon family still get in touch with the Iron Bank?"

"During the war, the Iron Bank will not lend money to the enemy."

Rhaenys sighed, immediately understanding her nephew's thoughts.

Rhaegar grinned, his eyes sparkling, and said: "We can't borrow it, but the bank can borrow it."

The three city-states all maintained banks, so they were put to good use.

As the largest financial institution, Tiejinku will not give up the opportunity to annex other financial institutions.

As for whether the Sea King of Braavos would object?

Aquaman is Aquaman, he cannot represent the power group behind Iron Bank.
