Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 53 53. Taking the first step

The people of Westeros are very indifferent to the change of years, and are even very vague about the change of years.

For this reason, Xion could only roughly determine the specific date of the year based on local methods, and asked the nobles to inform the people under their rule of the time every half month.

At the same time, they also recruited a large number of low-level bachelors from the city, or down-and-out knights and nobles who could read and write.

Due to cost issues, Xion could not publish the newspaper as expected. He could only produce a small amount of newspapers and distribute them to the noble knights in the form of letters. Then, on the last three days of each month, arrange for bachelors to read the newspapers at a fixed place.

content.

In fact, this is not a newspaper, it can only be regarded as a notice. There is nothing we can do about it. The Bureau of Industrial and Industrial Equipment has a papermaker who is responsible for researching low-cost paper.

Because of the general ideas provided by Theon, and because Westeros’ papermaking technology is not too backward, the progress is pretty good.

Under the implementation of many measures by Xion, Pyke Island has developed extremely rapidly. Although its own resources are poor, the economic development is still visible to the naked eye.

The next day, a letter came from King's Landing, which probably asked Theon to appear in court to accuse Tyrion of poisoning the king, and asked Theon to arrive in King's Landing within two weeks.

Handing the envelope to Andre, Theon sneered: "If it were before, they would have asked me to go to King's Landing, but now, did you see what the letter said?"

Of course Andre just complained in his heart, "Your Majesty, I think you can ignore it completely and just find an excuse to shirk it."

Comparison is always the best way to motivate. For the first time, the staff of the Industrial and Equipment Bureau felt that the opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of them!

They were all craftsmen from various backgrounds. After entering the Bureau of Industrial Equipment, they were divided into different so-called teams, and then they continued to study some weird things according to His Majesty's orders.

At this moment, a simple building rose from the ground near the Mogos River.

The machine was assembled until the afternoon. Under Xion's expectant eyes, the wheel fell into the water and the hammer on the head of the machine began to swing up and down regularly.

By then, the efficiency of forging weapons and armor on the Iron Islands will be greatly improved!

However, they still get a salary of fifty silver coins per month, and one gold dragon for two months, which makes many people start to live their lives unconsciously.

Of course, this is just the beginning. In another year or so, the Bureau of Industrial Equipment will start kicking out people who plan to hang out. The elites left behind will be the future team of the Bureau of Industrial Equipment.

Xion looked at the industrial and equipment bureau that had come back to life with satisfaction, and secretly thought that the money was not wasted.

Your Majesty has worked hard to invent a set of suggested numerical calculation methods, otherwise they would be even more uncomfortable.

Because he often invented some "flashy" things, he was driven out of the house by the old blacksmith to make a living on his own.

Theon made some adjustments based on the Westerosi saddle and installed horseshoes on the war horse.

The two of them quickly left, leaving only a confused Andre, who didn't know what happened.

The Mogos River is an inland river on Pike Island. The river is fast and not suitable for fishing. As a result, there are not many surrounding villages and the population is sparse.

However, Xion not only rewarded them generously, Xion also planned to notify the entire Industrial and Equipment Bureau of the reward, and at the same time nominated and commended Truss's small team.

"Tywin asked me to arrive in King's Landing within 15 days, and he sounded like I would be sorry to Joffrey if I didn't go." Theon complained.

Not only did they study things they couldn't understand during the day, but they also had to read, read, and learn arithmetic with the bachelors at night.

However, when Xion took a look at the drawings, he immediately raised his head in shock and asked, "Did you f*cking make it?"

In the age of cold weapons, war horses were like tanks. Once they formed an impact, they could easily break through an infantry square several times their size.

"Okay! Everyone who participated in the production will be rewarded with five hundred gold dragons, and one thousand gold dragons for Truss!"

"Your Majesty, good news!" A strong man rushed into Xion's office.

"Of course, the first sample has been made!" Truss looked like he was about to praise me.

Not to mention five hundred gold dragons, even five hundred silver coins is an unparalleled reward for them!

Hearing Xion's reward, the surrounding craftsmen were stunned. One golden dragon was equivalent to about 10,000 RMB. These blacksmiths had never seen such a large amount of money!

But Andre thought this was normal. You were taught by His Majesty Joffrey to speak so smoothly before, but now you still speak like Joffrey.

Truss handed the drawing in his hand to Xion with a strong expression on his face.

"Quick, take me to see it!"

Xion curiously took the drawing. He wanted to see what made this 15-year-old, 2.1-meter-tall researcher face him so arrogantly.

Truss brought Xion to a machine being assembled. This was the good news that Truss said, the first hydraulic forging and hammering machine.

This allows Theon's cavalry to quickly control their horses while maintaining combat effectiveness for a long time without worrying about the wear and tear of the horses' hooves.

Andrei straightened his back when he said this. Tombiel had just purchased five thousand fine horses from Essos, and the first batch of one thousand horses had already arrived in the Riverlands.

"Pfft, okay, Tras, what's the matter with you?" Theon knew that Tras was the son of a very famous blacksmith on Great Wyk Island.

It happened that Theon was walking his dog at that time, and he was shocked when he saw Tras's drawings. He immediately took Tras-Mogdin under his command and gave him the "Encyclopedia of Sea Monsters" and 50,000 golden dragons.

Xion was not a fool, so he could naturally see that the Industrial Equipment Bureau was gradually failing, so he took this opportunity to activate the Industrial Equipment Bureau.

At the same time, battles in the world of Thrones rarely involve "soldiers, tricks!", so having an elite cavalry is particularly important.

Then Theon forgot about him and put him away in the Bureau of Industrial Equipment.

Progress will only come if you are willing to spend money. If the nobles of Westeros were willing to use their money to develop their territory instead of leaving it to eat ashes in the castle, Westeros would never have been in the medieval period for eight thousand years.

"Truss, how many times have I told you, don't be so reckless, why don't you apologize to His Majesty!" After speaking, Andre winked at Truss crazily.

"Prime Minister Andrei, you got sand in your eyes? Why are you just blinking?" Truss asked curiously, forgetting what he was doing for a while.

Once this was a crude forging machine in Xion's opinion, and the experiment on the primitive forging machine was successful, then a hydraulic drilling machine and a hydraulic grinding machine would not be far away.

However, when Truss' team made a breakthrough in their research and the news that each person was rewarded with five hundred golden dragons reached their ears, many people's mentality quietly changed.

After wandering to Pyke Island, he heard that Theon was looking for a smart blacksmith, and Truss volunteered to sign up, even taking out many of his own drawings.

Once the first hydraulic machine tool workshops were built, the iron ore mines on Great Wyk Island became particularly important.

Xion, on the other hand, mobilized 500 soldiers to station outside the "Mogos Manufacturing Factory", strictly preventing anyone from approaching.

At the same time, a large number of "employee dormitories" began to be built in the surrounding areas. The Morgan Manufacturing Plant will be the first "iron rice bowl" of the Iron Islands.

Pyke Island is undergoing many changes quietly, and at this moment, the nobles of Westeros are still playing the ‘Game of Thrones’.
