244 Changes in the situation
The early 295th year of the Conquest was a very turbulent year. The Twin City next to the northern border turned into an empty city overnight, and all the people of the Frei family disappeared. Correspondingly, the river below the Twin City occasionally washed away a broken bone of sticky flesh.
At the same time, a very serious wolf disaster broke out in this area. The merchants passing by here suffered heavy losses one by one, and the trade routes in the north were blocked. The Tuli family, a Fengjun of Hejiandi, is currently recruiting soldiers to hunt and investigate the truth.
According to the merchants who rushed to King's Landing, a group of wolves that looked similar to people appeared in the Twin City area, and the ordinary wolves were gathered by those monsters, so those monsters were the murderers.
This incident was a strange story in Junlin City. Unfortunately, the distance was far, and no one could determine the authenticity of the news. At the same time, people in Junlin did not lack topics to talk about, so after the news spread for a while, no one paid attention to it.
Currently, Junlin City is in turmoil because of a reward.
The reward for the Crab Claw Peninsula quickly spread throughout Junlin as soon as it was released. The hired knight riders who could not find a suitable job because of the non-war period signed up without hesitation. Some idle people also began to call on friends after seeing the high reward, preparing to make a fortune.
The huge city with a population of nearly 500,000 has been reduced, and nearly 30,000 people have left in just one week. At this time, the Iron Throne has not paid any money in the rewards except for some necessary preparations. Even after the preliminary figures were reported, the bald king laughed.
However, the king laughed, and the former Prime Minister Jon Elin couldn't laugh because everything during this reward period was strictly controlled. During this period, his hair, which had not much, had several strands of his hair lost in succession - preliminary preparations, mid-term rules, and later payment of rewards.
The method of offering a reward sounds feasible, but there are many loopholes that need to be watched closely. The most important thing is to avoid taking advantage of troubled waters and strictly limiting killings within the peninsula.
This series of procedures is not easier than launching a war, and it is even more difficult to do such a thing for the first time.
Meanwhile, Jon Ellin needs to stare at everything that is happening in the valley.
Earl Gero Grafson of Seagull Town confessed several lords who had contacted Targaryen, but those who refused to conscript the Iron Throne came to Junlin to meet the king. After several negotiations failed, the old Duke of the Valley brazenly called on his lords to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion for him—
Most of the valley lords were actually still loyal to the Ailing family, so as soon as the conscript appeared, they began to prepare for the upcoming war. A small number of loyal people did not jump to the hostile side, but chose to wait and see or perfunctory.
The final result of this matter has not been released yet, but according to the current situation, it is impossible for the rebellious camp formed by the three lords to cause any storm.
However, although it is stable, the old prime minister, or everyone at the imperial meeting, did not relax their vigilance. After all, no one knows what would happen before the danger was extinguished.
Lan Li was also staring at this matter, but he had to start a lot of things recently, but he didn't put all his attention on it.
Not long ago, he had an interview with the fat archbishop of the church and successfully persuaded the other party to call on the monks to boycott Targaryen, but this did not mean that Lan Li had extinguished the intention of changing the archbishop. He is still looking for qualified candidates.
In addition, he is also busy presided over the trial.
One of the king's daily tasks is to convene a court to judge cases in the city. One of Lan Li's own tasks is to provide advice to the king during the trial.
But Robert is an impatient person. Although he frequently participated in important imperial meetings due to various things during this period, it does not mean that he would sit honestly on an iron chair to uphold justice for the common people.
Before Targaryen happened, he didn't even attend the imperial meeting.
So the cheap brother threw this matter to Renli, the Minister of Justice.
In fact, the work of the Minister of Justice does not preside over the trial. Normally, this kind of thing is the work of the former Prime Minister, or the things the king does not want to do, is the work of the former Prime Minister. In a sense, the prime minister is equal to the representative or substitute of the king.
However, the old Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace has been very busy recently, so this task can only be done by Ren Li.
The successive hangings a while ago scared many people, but they also won many praises among the common people. At the same time, relying on his spiritual talent, the case he tried was basically nothing wrong. Even some victims in the city of Junlin who did not trust the Iron Throne have recently gone to Red Fort to appeal, and his work as the Minister of Justice has become increasingly heavy.
This made Lan Li's reputation grow day by day, and the price was that it was basically difficult for him to have time to do other things all day long.
Lan Li was a little helpless about this, but he was not too irritated because he actually had nothing important to do recently. Apart from focusing on the situation and churches in various countries, he could only prepare for the soon-to-be-arrival Dornese mission.
...
"The number of personnel in the capital garrison has dropped sharply to less than 4,000. Sir, should we start to stabilize people's hearts?"
Sam Will, the barbarian with bandages on his arms, asked this as the young brunette sitting behind the desk.
The fierce punishment and high rewards made the people in the capital garrison panic. Some retail investors who had no backers and the sluts who had no jobs were quit during this period, and even their staff became increasingly insufficient.
"During the I period of Viserys, there were only two thousand people in the capital's garrison, and now we have nearly four thousand." Lan Li glanced at him and replied, but before the other party could respond, he changed his mind.
"The recruitment is not going well?"
"There are many people who sign up, but few people pass the exam." The tall new garrison commander replied.
He was attacked some time ago, but in fact he was not that serious. He claimed that the serious injury was just Lan Li who took advantage of the situation. Now he has been almost gone half a month after that incident.
"It doesn't need to be too strict, just be loyal." Lan Li expressed her own opinion.
There is nothing in this world, but there is no shortage of people. A serious job is very attractive no matter where you are in the seven countries. Therefore, even if the members of the garrison team have dropped sharply, Ren Li doesn't care and is even more willing to see it.
After such trouble, although the capital garrison has become relatively fragile, it is no different from being powerful to the past-
In Lanli's view, although the removed carrion is very large, it is completely a drag, and although the new skin is still small, it is something that can be controlled by itself.
You can tell which one is better and which one is worse.
...
After chatting with this ancient man for a while, Renli changed the subject and asked, "Will the Dornest man you mentioned last time really come with the envoy?"
"If Oberon was indeed the one who led the team, then she should not be absent." Barbarian Samwell replied.
Lan Li nodded when she heard this.
