Chapter 50 50. Grace is gone for half a lifetime

As expected, Tyrion became the biggest suspect. With Tywin and Cersei who had already wanted him to die, Tyrion was already unaware of it.

Especially Sansa disappeared, and the chaos that lasted only a few minutes, Sansa disappeared at the banquet, which further confirmed Tyrion's charge.

It seems impossible for a couple who have a feud with Joffrey to murder the king.

Seeing that Joffrey died, Tywin did not have much fluctuation in his expression, but immediately ordered the city to be blocked and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Tywin glanced at Theon, who was sitting motionless in his original position, then looked at Tyrion and the Old Rose of the High Court. Tywin seemed to be able to see something.

Of course, Tywin probably knows who poisoned Joffrey, but Tywin did not point out or stop him. Tywin also wanted an obedient king.

The heir Toman Baratheon is a very good choice, obedient and honest, 9 years old, and is better than Joffrey in any way.

What's more, the emperor was once a day, Tywin glanced at Theon, thinking about how to solve this "favorite minister" of the previous dynasty.

At this moment, Theon did not realize that he had entered Tywin's sight, but was thinking about whether he could knock on the riverside and make a sum of food.

Theon called out to Grand Secretary Stafan to discuss it, and finally decided to recruit another 6,000 standing troops to gather 10,000 people.

But Hewandi is different. The real person in power is Olena. A Hua Laohu who can raise an army of 100,000 at any time is really not easy to blackmail.

After Theon walked away, one of his hands came down to Sir Marin and said carefully: "Sir Marin, Prime Minister Tywin asked us to close the city gates. I'm afraid that if we let them go so obviously."

Then the last batch of grain caught up with the use of the first batch of soil fertilizer. Although the quantity is not large, the effect is still there.

Although the proportion of grain tax is small, the overall grain collected is not small, which is not much different from the previous tax revenue.

Now that most of the important territory of Hejiandi, Theon has arranged the candidates for the city guards, the next thing is the most important thing, collecting taxes!

Tax evasion occurs at any time. Theon has formulated quite strict laws on taxation, but he just doesn't know how effective it is.

Theon took out the soap box from his arms, "This soap is given to Sir Marin. It is of the same use as the soap, but it is more fragrant and has better effect. You will know after using it. This was originally a gift to His Majesty."

This provides a large number of job opportunities, because it is December, and the south of Westeros will still usher in a short winter.

Theon intends to spend 30% of the taxes every year to develop the army.

To be honest, the possibility is very small. After all, the most important characters are actually aware of who poisoned Joffrey.

Unlike the nobles of Westeros who would rather have the golden dragon grow ashes in the warehouse than take them out to develop their own territory, Theon felt that the golden dragon was a stone in the warehouse.

Unlike Theon who blackmailed Littlefinger, Littlefinger itself has no vassals or army, and the nobles in the valley do not obey Littlefinger's command.

After thinking for a while, Theon gave up his plan to blackmail Hewan Land.

The most surprising thing is the commercial taxation, which is more than 2 million Golden Dragon this time, because business is just starting.

When Malin heard this, he turned out that the soap box was opened. After opening it, a fragrance spread. Marlin immediately put the wooden box in his bag and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the city gate.

Time flies to early December.

At the current development speed, the commercial tax will be charged at least twice a year in the next year, and the number will increase by several times. In addition, the caravan formed by Theon himself will be able to spend a lot of money to support the development of other industries.

Sir Marin, who is on duty, still has his eyes as King Landing's new commander-in-chief of Golden Robe.

"Sir Marin, you know that your Majesty has been in vain for half his life. Fortunately, His Majesty is valued. He wanted to attend His Majesty's wedding, but this gift has not been presented yet. His Majesty has passed away."

Soon, Theon and his group finished packing their luggage and headed towards the city gate.

As the days pass by day, when it is mid-to-late December, the tax situation in various places will be reported.

Theon needs to return to the Iron Islands, and he hasn't been back for a long time.

Money can only be called money when it is circulated.

"Sir Theon, are you planning to return to Hejian?" Marin leaned forward and said.

At the same time, each city recruits thousands of standing troops on its own, and the number of standing troops in the entire Hejian area suddenly surged to 20,000, which is different from recruiting soldiers.

But in this way, the farmers have more than half of the surplus grain in their hands, and they can even slowly save the surplus grain in their hands.

But before that, Theon needed to complete the recruitment of the Riverland, and then liquidate the Iron Islands.

For these 20,000 people in Hejian, soldiers and officers at all levels earn 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in annual military pay, not to mention that the army still includes food and accommodation.

Theon had forgotten which piece of soap this was given, but it was just right that many nobles had given it.

Listening to the report of Grand Secretary Stafan, Theon couldn't help but feel excited in his eyes. Theon handed over the method of making soil fertilizer to several bachelors.

Theon, who came back, immediately called his subordinates to gather. Joffrey was dead at this moment, and the next judgment of Tyrion was no more interesting.

Theon summoned a group of nobles and appointed Yara as the guard of the city of Benliu City, responsible for guarding the city of Benliu City.

However, although the money was spent, the benefits were huge, because all work required manpower, and Theon did not choose to force labor to collect labor, but instead recruited it on his own.

After a few days of travel, Theon returned to Haijiang Port, which has gradually replaced Benliucheng and became the new political center of Hejiandi.

Marin waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. He is leaving, even Lord Tywin won't say anything, let alone the king's death, and he will not be able to stand firm in his footsteps."

The first tax revenue in Hejian Land officially began, and a large number of soldiers and bachelors began to wander around Hejian Land.

Now there is a bumper harvest in the food industry and a wealthy finances, which is a good time to expand the army.

As Theon ordered one after another, he recruited troops, built roads, expanded shipyards and soap farms, built public toilets in the city to collect feces, and hired city cleaners. In the blink of an eye, the money he had just collected was spent.

Theon took Messerra and Selena back to his residence.

Even if it won't snow or even last less than a month, this sudden drop in temperature is not suitable for planting various foods.

Therefore, there will be a large number of idle people at home. Theon's construction can not only provide employment opportunities in moderation, but also provide farmers' families with confidence to have more children.

After all, for civilians, one more child means one more productivity, not to mention that when there is surplus food and savings, population growth is inevitable.

The increase in population also has a "bid" for Theon.
