Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord

"It's been many years. I remember that when you left Three Towers Castle, you were only 14 years old. Now you are so handsome and you are already a handsome boy." After speaking, Lilith pointed to the son and daughter in front of her and introduced: "This is My son Lucas and my daughter Betty.”

Lilith smiled and said to the two children: "This is your eldest brother Gavin." The two children obediently shouted in unison: "Brother Gavin."

Gavin smiled and said to the children: "Lucas, Betty, I brought gifts for you." As he said that, he took the prepared gifts from the attendants beside him.

He handed Lucas a very exquisite silver dagger with a hilt inlaid with precious stones, and gave Betty a string of pearl necklaces that exuded a soft luster.

The two children happily took the gifts and said in unison: "Thank you, brother Gavin!" Gavin smiled and touched their heads.

Gavin held a grand banquet on Bloodstone Island in the name of welcoming his uncle Emond's family.

The governors and officials of the Stepped Stone Islands, as well as the captains and commanders of the naval fleet, all came to the scene. The scene was very lively. Gavin also specially invited a very famous troupe from Essos to perform, making the banquet extremely lively. .

At this time, several governors on the island were actively communicating about the industrial development of their respective islands. Gavin heard their discussion, turned to Emond, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how is the situation of paper sales now? "

Edmund said: "Hey, since you sold me the special paper sales, the income has been quite good, and it has even far exceeded the territory's tax revenue. During the early promotion, the school city was very resistant and suppressed the promotion of paper many times, but it's good Now the situation is slowly opening up. I have now extended the paper to the Hejian area, but the supply is not keeping up. "

Gavin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The special status of the school city relies on monopolizing knowledge. They are worried that knowledge will be easier to circulate, so suppressing paper is inevitable. However, with the convenience of paper, you don't need to worry about them. You can't worry about the output. Don’t worry, I’m already working on it, and the new factory will be put into use next month.”

Edmund nodded and responded: "Well, that puts me at ease. By the way, there's one more thing. There's news about the Qybain you asked me to inquire about. I heard that he is currently following a group of bandits in the Riverlands. Mercenaries, they seem to be called warriors."

Gavin's eyes lit up and he said: "Uncle, when you return to Westeros, help me bring him a letter."

Edmund asked curiously: "I heard that Qyburn was kicked out of the school after doing some extremely evil research. What is so special about him that you are so interested in him?"

Gavin replied: "Uncle, I studied with this Qianbain when I was in the city. He is extremely knowledgeable, whether it is medicine, ravens, agriculture or intelligence. And I have dealt with him and know his Ability. Because of the paper business, I have never had a bachelor here, and I have not even raised ravens. I want him to come to the Stone Steps Islands to help me and help me train some talents. "

Edmund smiled: "Okay, I'll help you with it when you get back, but you'd better investigate him. After all, he has been following this group of bandits and mercenaries for so long, and it is inevitable that he will have bad habits."

At this time, the troupe's wonderful performance reached its climax, everyone's attention was attracted, cheers came and went, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic.

At this time, Mrs. Lilith handed Gavin a letter and said: "This is the letter Margaery asked me to forward to you. She hopes that you can attend her 16th name day next year." Gavin smiled. He responded: "Now that the situation on the Stepstone Islands has gradually stabilized, I miss the Reach very much. I will definitely go back to see it and attend Miss Margaery's name day."

At this time, Lilith spoke again: "Gavin, now that you have grown up and control such a vast territory, have you ever thought about what kind of wife you want to marry?" After hearing this, Gavin began to think in his heart. stand up.

Gavin has also considered before that the most ideal choice for the future is undoubtedly Daenerys Targaryen. If he marries her, he will have the right to claim the entire Westeros, which can greatly satisfy his ambitions, and The opponent's dragon is also an important help, so you don't have to become his opponent.

Then Gavin thought of Margaery again, and he had to admit that whether it was when he was watching a drama in his previous life, or when he met her at a martial arts tournament, her gentleness and beauty made Gavin fond of her, especially since the other party's political wisdom could greatly influence her. consolidate his rule.

Gavin suppressed his chaotic thoughts and replied: "I haven't thought about this yet." After hearing this, Lilith continued: "Do you need me to recommend some people for you? If you hadn't been living far away from the strait for a long time, If you had achieved such success in the Reach, the families interested in marrying you would have been at odds with each other. "

Lilith paused for a moment and then said: "Gavin, the heir is very important to the territory, especially for a newly developed territory like yours, which lacks the precipitation of time. Having an heir can stabilize people's hearts, and the marriage of the family is serious. Thinking about it will help you a lot if you choose the right one. Although you are still young, you have to think about these things quickly.”

Gavin was lying in bed at night, still thinking about Mrs. Lilith's words.

The words of the other party are not unreasonable. His goal is far more than just a narrow sea and stone steps islands.

How about taking action now when Daenerys has not yet become the Dragon Mother, so that he can gain the right to claim it and avoid the appearance of the Dragon Mother in the future. He was deeply impressed by the Dragon Mother's paranoia when he watched the show in his previous life.

As for Little Rose, it was not something he could consider at the moment. He would take it one step at a time. Finally, with the complicated thoughts in his mind, Gavin gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Gavin, who had just woken up and was washing, received a hurried report from the guards, saying that Boris wanted to see him. Gavin did not think twice and immediately asked someone to invite him into the study.

After Boris came in, he bowed deeply and respectfully, and then said earnestly: "Sir, newly graduated management personnel. Bloodstone Island hopes to allocate more. Recently, many new factories have been put into use. I am really short of manpower here. Can you leave me 10?" Gavin held his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and responded: "This matter can be discussed."

After completely controlling the Stone Steps Archipelago, Gavin appointed the capable Boris as the governor of Bloodstone Island and the extremely loyal Hassan as the fleet commander. At the same time, he also arranged several other capable people to serve as governors of other islands, aiming to ensure that his sphere of influence can be stable and developed.

However, as the situation progressed, Gavin obviously felt that there were not enough capable people. So he started to train talents himself, selecting people with a certain foundation to study in the school he opened, and they could serve as grassroots officials after meeting certain conditions.

But even so, talents are still scarce, and every time a group of new people are trained, the governors of various islands will scramble to get them.
