Chapter 358 Dragon Mother is coming(1/4)
Gao Bin reached an agreement with Mance Rayder, who swore allegiance to Ned Stark, Lord of the North, while Ned wanted to find a living soil for the free people in the North, at least to ensure that they could survive on the Great Wall
Enjoy the warm winter inside.
The two parties lived peacefully south of the Great Wall, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Facts have proved that with the measures implemented by Gao Bin across the country, as long as you are willing to put in a certain amount of sweat, you will definitely be able to live a great life.
The free people felt the convenience brought by the advanced social system and were completely unwilling to leave.
You must know that when they first took root in the north, there were still some free people who were unwilling to be restricted by the rules and climbed over the Great Wall on their own to return to the ice fields.
But now, this situation has disappeared.
Looking at the whole country, it was prosperous. Gao Bin worked hard to build roads to closely connect the relationships between various city-states, weakening the authority of the lords and strengthening the concept of the country.
During this period, he made full use of his wife's diplomatic methods.
As queen, Margaery traveled frequently, traveling back and forth between the lords' territories, in this way to appease the lords' hearts.
Although they made a lot of money, their increasingly embarrassing status as lords made them feel a deep crisis.
Fortunately, the ambitious ones were almost killed by Gao Bin, and few of the remaining people were troublemakers, which saved a lot of trouble.
With the threat of free people gone for the time being, the continent of Westeros has entered a period of comprehensive development, with major roads being built and bridges being erected.
Every morning when people wake up, they drink a cup of hot milk, send their children to school, and then go to work to start a busy day.
Every weekend, every family will organize a family gathering, either going for an outing to the mountains outside the city, or gathering at a friend's house. If that doesn't work, you can also go to an entertainment venue to have a good time.
After the domestic situation stabilized, Gao Bin began to vigorously promote the development of the cultural field and continued to support the promotion of musicals, dramas and other artistic forms.
In addition, many bards have given up traveling around the world and instead choose a city to take root and write books.
No one can resist the temptation to write a good book and have a lifetime of food and drink.
If his book is selected for changes in a stage play, the author of this book will be directly promoted to a higher level.
In short, Westeros is full of waste, and you can make money by doing anything you want.
Gao Bin opened up the door to private business, and anyone can register a company to engage in commercial activities.
Don’t you have the courage to go out of the city where you live to trade?
It doesn't matter, you can choose to open a restaurant or restaurant in your own city. If you don't have money, you can go to the bank to borrow money, and the interest is not high.
If you feel tired of running a restaurant, you can open a coffee shop or casual teahouse.
Anyway, as long as you think about it, you will definitely find a field that suits you.
At the same time, Gao Bin has also strengthened the training and management of government personnel. How to avoid corruption is a university question. Gao Bin has no good way. He can only pay high salaries to maintain integrity, and at the same time strengthen the supervision system.
If one regulatory department is not enough, just create several more regulatory departments to prevent corruption from breeding. This is the limit of what he can do.
At least he can guarantee that no one will dare to make money under his nose before he dies.
As for after his death, he will not care about the floods.
...
This afternoon, Gao Bin had just finished handling government affairs and returned to the back garden of the Red Castle, ready to chat with his wife.
Margery was holding a fluffy little black cat, lazily taking a nap in the garden pavilion. She had a beautiful face and voluptuous curves. Unfortunately, only Gao Bin could appreciate such beauty.
He had already stepped lightly, but he didn't expect Margaery to wake up.
"Did I wake you up?" Gao Bin said helplessly.
"It's okay. You've slept long enough. Are you done with your work?" Margaery pulled Gao Bin's big hand over and rubbed it on her face twice, like a docile puppet.
"The work is over, the rest of the time belongs to you."
"Great, I just asked the kitchen to research a dessert. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay..."
Gao Bin thought it was something new, but he didn't expect it to be egg tarts.
"I heard you mention it before. I wrote it down and asked the kitchen to try it many times until this version tastes closest to what you described. Give it a try."
Gao Bin picked up a piece and took a bite. Well, it tasted like before.
"Not bad, it tastes really good, do you like it?"
"I like it. It's really delicious. It's perfect with lunch tea. The kids also like it very much. I ate a lot of it yesterday."
"Haha, it's better to eat less of this stuff, it's easy to gain weight."
Margaret smiled:
"What? Are you afraid that I won't look good if I gain weight?"
"That's not the case. You have a good foundation and you're not ugly even if you are a little fatter."
"You can talk."
Suddenly, a maid hurried over and stopped outside the pavilion.
Margaery asked:
"What happened?"
"Back to the Queen, the Prime Minister is outside and wants to meet with His Majesty."
"Tyrion?" Gao Bin muttered. It seemed that something big had happened, otherwise Tyrion would not have found the backyard.
"Let him in."
"Yes!"
Margery also held Gao Bin's hand with some worry:
"My dear, will something happen?"
"It's okay, I'm here."
After a while, Tyrion rushed in at a trot:
"Your Majesty, there is news from the east that the dragon has reappeared in the world!"
With a crack, the dessert plate in Margery's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Gao Bin frowned deeply. Although he had known this for a long time, now that he heard it, he still couldn't help but feel worried.
Is the dragon really something that humans can defeat?
In the setting of this world, dragons are native to the Shadowlands beyond Asshai and the islands in the Jade Sea, and were discovered by the Valyrian people five thousand years ago.
The Fourteen Fire Peaks, a ring-shaped volcano originally discovered on the Valyrian Peninsula, is also the birthplace of the Faceless Men.
The Valyrian people gradually mastered the technology of raising dragons, and used dragons as weapons of war to form a huge kingdom, the Valyrian Free Fortress.
After the Doomsday Catastrophe of Valyria, the only surviving dragons were the five dragons taken away by the "Exiles", but only Balerion survived to the age of Aegon I.
Later, two more dragons, Vhagar and Meraxes, were hatched on Dragonstone, and the Targaryen family finally conquered Westeros with them.
During the War of Conquest, Aegon I and his two sisters each rode a dragon and brought six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros under Targaryen rule.
The Targaryens built dragon pits in King's Landing to breed their dragons.
During the reign of "Arbiter" Jaehaerys I, he led six dragons to Winterfell to discuss state affairs with the Warden of the North and visit the Great Wall.
During the Targaryen reign, there were at least nineteen dragons, and the skulls of nineteen dragons are still preserved in the cellar of the Red Keep.
In the Dance of the Blood Dragons, in addition to Vhagar who survived Aegon's Dragon, nineteen other dragons appeared. According to the records in "The Princess and the Queen", at least sixteen dragons died (including Vhagar).
er).
Over three centuries, Targaryen dragons died in various wars, and later indoor dragons were not as large as their ancestors.
The last dragon was a weak and deformed thing who died when he was very young, during the reign of "Dragon Bane" Aegon III.
It was a green dragon, with a weak body and withered wings. It laid five dragon eggs before it died, but they never hatched.
Bachelors believe that dragons like to grow under the sky. No matter how big the dragon's cave is, it is still a closed room, which prevents the dragon from growing normally.
After the dragons became extinct, all that remained in the world were their skulls and some petrified dragon eggs.
Dragon eggs are very precious, not only because of their strange and beautiful appearance, but more importantly because there are always people who hope to hatch dragons from them.
There have been many attempts in history to hatch dragons from petrified dragon eggs. Aegon V's attempt led to the tragedy of Summerhall. "Dragon Bane" Aegon III summoned nine magicians from across the Narrow Sea to hatch them.
Dragon egg.
"Blessed by God" Baelor I made a unique attempt. He prayed to each dragon egg.
The skills of taming and controlling dragons have been lost, and some extremely rare books are hard to find.
In the end, Daenerys Targaryen successfully hatched three dragons.
At the funeral of her husband Khal Drogo, Dany sacrificed Mirri Maz Duur and walked into the fire with the dragon egg.
Daenerys sacrificed three lives and hatched three dragons for the first time in more than a hundred years.
According to the original book, dragons have much higher intelligence than ordinary animals, have a strong sense of dependence and trust on the people who raise them, can be trained into powerful battle mounts, and can understand the master's verbal commands.
