Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 233 "Key to Wealth" Little Finger
“Now that you have made your choice, the next time will be the election of House of Representatives members in the Northern Province.

But I will directly identify the members of the House of Lords and the cabinet officials, otherwise we will be too late. "

In fact, there is absolutely enough time.

A total of 9 positions in the House of Lords need to be voted on, which can be completed very quickly. It only takes some time for the officials of various cabinet ministries.

But no one dared to refute, because all these rules were set by Jack. If one dared to refute today, people would disappear inexplicably tomorrow.

In the evening, Jack arranged everything.

To Wyman's surprise, Jack gave the veteran aristocrat three positions, four to be exact.

There's one for Wyman Manderly, one for House Severn, one for House Dustin, and even one for House Stark.

It's just that there is no one in the Stark family for the time being, so it can only be left empty for now.

There is no doubt that the next four positions are Lyanna Mormont, Tormund, Segon, and Kassa.

Filling the cabinet with officials was a lot more troublesome. Five days had passed since the structures of all departments were completed.

The first batch of middle and high-level officials were all people brought by Jack from overseas, while the positions of lower-level basic officials were equally divided among all nobles.

Facts have proved that the conservative aristocrats and the new aristocrats are not united internally, and they can even directly tear each other apart for a certain position.

Then Jack finalized the tax system. Like the three cities on the Free Trade Coast, from now on, the tax will be divided into two.

The imperial tax collectors are directly responsible for collecting taxes, [-]% of which are handed over to the empire, and the remaining [-]% are left for development.

In the aftermath of the conference, the political structure of the North was transformed.

Representatives of the House of Representatives have also begun to be selected in the 56 districts. When the civilians of the northern province woke up, they suddenly found that they could also interfere in national policies. Even if one person's influence is very small, he can at least say two sentences, right? ?

Under Jack's pressure, the Northern Province carried out very thorough political reforms, and the old aristocratic ruling system disappeared in the long river of history in just a few days.

When Jack was promoting reforms in the north, he did not forget to create obstacles for the old nobles in the south.

A large number of ravens were sent out by Jack. In just three days, two pieces of news caused an uproar in the south.

The first is the death of the old Prime Minister Jon Arryn, who was poisoned by Petyr Baelish and Lysa Tully in a conspiracy.

Article [-]: Joffrey Baratheon died due to the conspiracy of Petyr Baelish and Olenna Redwin.Two messages detailing the deaths of Jon Arryn and Joffrey Baratheon shocked the entire South.

Many people even began to admire Littlefinger. If what was said in this letter was true, then what Littlefinger had done would be amazing.

Especially when he poisoned Jon Erin, he not only slept with his wife, but also occupied his title, castle, and territory.

But it doesn't matter whether Littlefinger did it or not, because not only the nobles received the news, but also many people spread the news around the crowded city. In any case, Littlefinger's reputation was ruined.

But these are not the problems Littlefinger faces now.

When he first arrived in the valley, the six nobles in the valley united to form the Alliance of Justice, trying to drive Littlefinger out of the valley, even at the cost of using force.

After issuing the declaration, the Alliance of the Righteous came to the gates of the Eagle's Nest with the intention of besieging Duke Baelish until he surrendered.

Cersei then gave instructions to the Righteous Alliance, saying that Petyr was not to be harmed, but that during the wardship of Robert Arryn, the king would not interfere in the politics of the Vale.

The Alliance of the Righteous sent troops to besiege the city for a period of time, cutting off the input of food and other supplies to the Eagle's Nest City.

Afterwards, they and Linn Corbray came to the Eyrie to negotiate with Petyr, asking him to give up his right to rule the valley and the right to raise Little Robert.

However, Lyn Corbray drew his sword in front of Petyr, causing all your lords to lose face.

In the end, they could only agree to give Petyr one year to tidy up the valley and educate Robert.

Lyn Corbray was the pawn that Petyr planted among them. Littlefinger had manipulated the entire meeting and would also manipulate these princes in the future.

According to the original plan, this was the case, but this sudden "gossip" disrupted Petyr's plan.

At the same time, it also gave the Justice Alliance an excuse to launch an attack. Now, not only did the Justice Alliance return to the Eagle's Nest, they were even ready to make a move within the Eagle's Nest.

This was the first time Littlefinger felt panicked, and the feeling that something was beyond his control made him very irritated.

The looks the servants looked at him were extremely strange, and Little Finger knew it very well. That look was the look in the eyes of gamblers when they were thinking. Obviously, he had become the key to "wealth" in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, he had saved a lot of money from running a brothel in King's Landing for so many years. He used this money to support fifty fully armed guards, otherwise he might not even be able to control the Eagle's Nest now.
