Chapter seven hundred and seventeen the collapse of the internal affairs
After a night of communication, Ye Junwen quickly understood one thing, that is, it was really difficult to communicate with a charlatan. What Ye Junwen wanted to ask the most was how Melisandra could hate her, but Melisandra's intention seemed to be to persuade Ye Junwen to believe in the King of Light, and basically didn't say anything about her own affairs.
After the two talked for one night, Ye Junwen said that he was really tired. The next morning, Ye Junwen came to the conference room physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing Ye Junwen like this, Varis and Paichel were obviously a bit misunderstood, and they felt that Ye Junwen and Melisandra's "communication" last night might be a bit intense. But Ye Junwen said that it might be the same way they thought that the communication was more labor-saving.
"How is the situation anyway?" Ye Junwen was too lazy to explain anything and asked directly.
Varis quickly reported the battle situation last night. To put it simply, it was a complete victory. After Ye Junwen sprayed Stannis's troops, the opponent could not organize it anymore. The city guards in the city took the opportunity to kill them, and then they basically captured prisoners in annihilation battle.
Since there were very few people in the City Guard, the City Guard captured more than 300 prisoners in the morning, and the remaining people were dead and fleeing, probably they could not be organized anymore. Of course, Stannis didn't know where to go.
"Although Stannis was not captured, now it is impossible for the other party to summon troops again." Varis said, "He is most likely to escape to the West. After all, there is nothing else he can stay in other places."
Although Stannis is from the Baratheon family, most of the lords of the Stormland have rebelled with Lan Li now. If Stannis goes back now, he will probably be arrested and presented to Lan Li and others. Of course, he is not so stupid. There is a possible escape location in the Western Region. Although Stannis and West Region were not dealing with each other before, they are now all defeated by Ye Junwen, and it is very likely that they will get together.
In short, Ye Junwen is too lazy to care about Stannis for the time being. Now their only threat is Lan Li's 100,000 army. Of course, from the beginning, the 100,000 army was the biggest threat. After all, the number of people is too large. The 100,000 army can sweep the entire continent under normal circumstances. Even if Ye Junwen waits for their troops to join the north, there are only more than 20,000 troops. With the troops temporarily convened by the Wang Ling, the maximum is 30,000, which seems to be obviously unbeatable.
Of course, Ye Junwen himself was full of confidence, and this was not blind confidence. It had been tested. Before, when he was in another world, there was a 100,000 lizard man army preparing to attack the main city of the Saint Wilan Empire. Ye Junwen asked Kerromino to go in one dragon, but the lizard man opposite him retreated directly, so this was not very scary, right? But Varis was still very worried.
So according to Varis's meaning, it is best to reach an agreement with the Tyrier family in Hewandi. Most of Lanli's army is troops from Hewandi. If they are dealt with, this will not be a problem.
According to recent news, Lan Li's troops seemed to have had some problems. The 100,000 army is currently divided into two teams, most of which are concentrated in Kuqiao, while Lan Li himself led a cavalry team of tens of thousands to march towards the direction of King's Landing City.
Varis was not very clear about why the opponent's troops were divided into two teams. Although they were marching in cavalry teams, their advancement was not very fast. They could obviously rush faster, while Renli was still walking and stopping, as if he was not in a hurry at all. He really didn't understand what the opponent was doing.
"I think it's very likely that he is also waiting for Stannis's actions." Varis said, "He is going to let Stannis fight with us to the death before entering the king's land. After all, he has a unit of 100,000, so he is not in a hurry. But now that Stannis has been defeated, their troops may accelerate their march."
"Anyway, let's talk about this matter when the people from the Tyrier family come." Ye Junwen waved his hand casually. Although he said that even if all the 100,000 troops came, it was not afraid, but Varis didn't believe it, and he had no choice. Then wait for the people from the Tyrier family to see if they can directly instigate the other party and say what the other party doesn't agree.
Of course, Varis also felt that this method was the best. He really didn't think he could stand up to a hundred thousand troops head-on. Now he could only wait for the Tyriar family or the people of Dorn to agree to send troops. They still had the possibility of solving the problem, but now the people on both sides have not arrived yet, so he had to wait.
Of course, in addition to war affairs, there are a lot of other problems that Ye Junwen needs to deal with. Although Ye Junwen won two games and the current situation seems to be good, there are too many problems within the country, but it is not simply a problem of the rebels. If you look closely, the whole country feels like it is about to collapse.
First of all, the biggest problem is the finance issue, which is also the main problem. As mentioned before, their original Finance Minister Berry Seren ran away, and now the country's finances are in a state of collapse. No one cares about it at all, and there are many problems left behind.
The former king Robert not only did not leave a penny for Ye Junwen, but also owed a large amount of debts. Among them, the ones that owed the West was 6 million Golden Dragon and owed the iron vault 3 million Golden Dragon. Of course, there is no need to pay back the Western Region for the time being. Although Tywin claimed that no one could owed the Western Region debt, they rebelled and were defeated, so of course there was no need to pay back this. Besides, nominally, Robert owed you the money that the Baratheon Dynasty owed you, and now it is the Targaryen Dynasty. Can you still make sense to me?
But Tiejinku is in trouble. This is a neutral bank-like organization on the other side of the strait. Their main business is to lend. Of course, no matter what kind of dynasty you are from, they will ask the king to pay back the money if you owe money. To be honest, although Ye Junwen doesn't want to repay this money, it is not so easy to lose it. First of all, if the money from a neutral organization is gone, if you don't repay the international reputation, whoever dares to lend you money in the future is equivalent to leaving hidden dangers for future finances. Secondly, if you don't repay it, you may also cause trouble if you mistrate Tiejinku. According to the usual way of this group of people, if you don't repay the money, they will crazily support the rebels or hire mercenaries to cause trouble for you, and in short, they will cause trouble for you.
Varis' suggestion is not to owe the Iron Vault, but the problem is how to pay it back? Varis didn't know, after all, he is not the Minister of Finance, and the vault is really empty and there is no penny.
The current situation has even maintained the minimum amount of the empire. After all, there is no penny left, and Varis doesn't know what to do, so it's urgent to find a minister of finance to ask.
But who is the question to look for? At the moment, I really don’t know who should be asked to solve this mess. It is estimated that few people dare to take on a task at this time. It is already difficult to get money. After the former Chancellor ran away, the connection hand could not take over. This task is really too difficult. Varis vaguely stated that what they needed might not be a Chancellor of the Chancellor, but a magician who could turn money, otherwise they would not be able to deal with this problem at all.
Ye Junwen really doesn’t have that much experience in money. Although he is a businessman himself, the Minister of Finance and Businessmen are not the same role. Ye Junwen doesn’t know what to do if he coordinates the finances of the entire country. In another world, Ye Junwen has never managed the internal affairs issues, and this matter is really difficult to deal with.
In addition, there are other problems, such as the lack of members of the cabinet, such as the position of the Navy Minister, the military minister is all vacant, and the lack of generals in the army. The Royal Guard had no choice but to call him to go as a guest star in the general, and there was no one to ask him to go, the captain of the city guard, and no one cared about the soldiers Wang Ling had just summoned. In short, they all collapsed in all kinds of ways.
"Okay, okay, I think these things can be unified into one thing, that is... lack of talent, right?" Ye Junwen said, "No one cares about the specific matters at all. Do you have any good candidates?"
"..." Varist paused, and could not call out his name for a while.
"In this way, both of you will think about it carefully and find a way to propose a few places first." Ye Junwen said, "I think about it myself, and see if I can find a few people who can be used. In short, when the meeting tomorrow, you two will give me the names of several people. Then I will accept my fate depending on the situation."
"Yes, your Majesty.'Varis and Pythir nodded, and then they soon went to think about people.
Of course, Ye Junwen had no idea who should be allowed to take charge of these vacancies. He couldn't name a few people at all, okay? But he didn't know it didn't matter, it wasn't anyone knowing it. After the meeting, Ye Junwen also contacted Lin Yin directly, and he wanted to ask many questions about those who knew the plot.
Of course, when talking to Lin Yin, the other party asked the first question when Ye Junwen would come back. After all, the two had just broken through their relationship, and Lin Yin now relied on Ye Junwen a lot. Ye Junwen comforted him a little, and then quickly asked about the plot.
"This... I haven't watched much." Lin Yin didn't know why Ye Junwen talked about the plot of a TV series seriously. It sounded like there was a job in this regard. Although she didn't know what happened, Lin Yin still answered seriously, "This TV series is too long. Although it's quite good, I don't have time to watch it at all. I'm still watching the first season."
"Oh, didn't you ask you to find a few people who are familiar with the plot before? Did you find it?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Oh, yes, many people in the company have seen it." Lin Yin said.
"Call him here, I'll ask a few questions, and you can help convey it." Ye Junwen said.
"Okay." Lin Yin nodded, then quickly called and asked a young man named Zhang Taiwen from the marketing department to come to the chairman's office.
Zhang Taiwen is the person Lin Yin found before who knows the plot. Not only does he know the plot, he is said to be a super game fan. According to what he said, he has watched the original novel, TV series, and surrounding fandoms at least five or six times, and he can recite it even if he memorizes it.
Of course, Zhang Taiwen was also confused. He had no idea why the chairman wanted to find someone who knew the plot of Game of Thrones. It was really inexplicable. Does Lin Yin like this too? But after talking before, Zhang Taiwen found that Lin Yin had never watched Game of Thrones at all? So... what's going on?
However, Lin Yin agreed to Zhang Taiwen that there might be questions about this in the future. If he could help answer them, there would be bonuses or something. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had a bonus for no reason. Besides, he could also have a good relationship with the chairman. He also felt that he could definitely answer these questions. What else is there to think about? Of course, Zhang Taiwen agreed immediately. So when he informed him to go to the chairman's office, Zhang Taiwen probably knew that it was this matter, otherwise why would the chairman look for him, an ordinary employee.
"Hello, Chairman." Zhang Taiwen was still a little restrained when he saw Lin Yin. Although his figure was much bigger than Lin Yin, he felt that he was a size smaller when standing in front of Lin Yin.
"Sit down, I'll ask you some questions later. It's the Game of Thrones question. Just answer it." Lin Yin said, "Xiaoyun, pour Xiao Zhang a cup of tea."
Lin Yin said that the person was in place, so she asked Ye Junwen what problems were. Ye Junwen also described the current problem slightly. Simply put, they wanted to find a minister of the finance department to be competent if there was a particularly awesome person.
After listening to Lin Yin's retelling, Zhang Taiwen was confused. What the hell is this? After thinking about it, he might be asking who is suitable for being the Minister of Finance in Game of Thrones? Zhang Taiwen thought about it and gave two names, the first one, Pettyr Berrys. Not to mention anything else, this person is indeed very good at making money. Before, Robert wasted the king like Robert, he could provide the other party's needs, so in this regard, he was of course competent.
Another name is Tyrion Lannister. Yes, this guy was the interim prime minister. After Tywin returned to King's Landing, his position became the Minister of Finance. It is obvious that this guy can also be the Minister of Finance. At least he also solved many financial problems in the original work.
Hearing Zhang Taiwen's answer, Ye Junwen was a little stunned. Yes, Petty Berrysh, he kept hearing the other party's name. The escaped Minister of Finance, to be honest, if he really came back, he could solve these problems, Ye Junwen asked him to come back. Unfortunately, the other party ran away and could not be found.
