Chapter 127 King's Landing
In order to prevent the so-called old man from Oldtown from making crazy moves like jumping over the wall, Robb did not rush to let the army move in.

"Grey Wind, go patrol the city and look for anything suspicious, especially those green flames we saw on the battlefield."

Gray Wind received the order and immediately started running wildly in Old Town.

Robb, under the guidance of the bachelors, began to visit the buildings in the city.

The first thing the maesters introduced to Robb was the body of the former Steward of the Citadel.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Steward, he committed suicide. He said he wanted to apologize to you and hoped that you would let go of the wealth in the school city."

Robb suddenly understood. No wonder when they first arrived at the gate of the academy, these bachelors had sad expressions on their faces. It turned out to be like this.

Robb waved his hand and motioned for his men to take the body down: "Take it to the residents outside to identify it and see if it is the steward."

There are so many books in the city, and Robb feels that even if he spends a lifetime, he cannot read all the books here.

The people of the Citadel simply divided these works into a series of terrestrial classifications such as alchemy, astronomy, mathematics and law.

There are also many works related to the ocean, including ancient charts, battleship designs, naval battle tactics, Valyrian writings, etc.

The school city is also the best medical school, with the best doctors and various specimens.

In a room, Robb saw a giant skeleton, which was specially transported from outside the Great Wall in the North.

"This giant is much smaller than I thought."

Looking at the giant skeleton that was only four or five meters high, Robb's thoughts drifted to the last flaming giant on the snowy mountain for some unknown reason.

That huge body can be considered a giant.

"The academic city will remain the same for the time being. You can still carry out previous research, but all research contents must be compiled into a book and reported to my subordinates."

After taking Oldtown, Robb's economic strength and territory have been greatly improved, and the Wolf Guard's influence can also spread here.

Strengthening the monitoring of the school city is a necessary measure.

"Of course, Your Majesty. However, the position of general manager of the school city is still..."

Robb had already had an idea: "Let this position be vacant for the time being. I will arrange it."

The position of General Manager of the Academy must no longer be given to this group of people. Robb is planning to introduce some fresh outside forces to neutralize the influence of the local bachelors in the Academy.

Jon Snow has just such a talented person on his staff.

-

After visiting the scenes in the school city, Gray Feng also completed his work.

Seeing Gray Wind's lively appearance, Robb knew that Oldtown was safe at this time, so he felt free to let the troops stationed outside enter.

"How to rule Oldtown is a difficult problem."

Unlike Robb's previous battle, Lord Hightower of Oldtown escaped, taking some of his soldiers with him.

Old Town is still an ancient city, and the people living here are extremely complex, which is very different from those small cities.

No matter what kind of person Earl Hightower is, the Hightower family, like the Stark family, is a great noble family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

There must be people in Old Town who are still loyal to the Hightower family.

The Robbs are here, the army is here, and they can still suppress their restless hearts.

Once Robb leaves and Lord Hightower returns, Oldtown will become dangerous and may even rebel again.

Countering the rebellion is a very simple matter, but what Robb wants is an old town that is stable and where energy and resources can continue to be produced.

Robb was going to give it a try anyway.

When we arrived at the towering tower where the Hightower family lived, there was no one here anymore. There were only a few servants working cautiously.

Robb called Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Mace into the study and assigned them their respective tasks.

"Lord Randyll Tarly, I need you to do something recently. Gather all the residents who are still in the city."

Randyll Tully was startled: "Your Majesty! There are so many people in Old Town. Could it be that you...this is no small matter!"

"What nonsense!"

Robb knew that Randyll Tarly had misunderstood what he meant: "You gather them together and let them bring their own land deeds and house deeds to clarify their property rights.

Then, I will start to organize households and people. "

Randyll Tully still couldn't understand: "What kind of basket queue?"

Robb knew that these things were beyond the knowledge of the times, and that these things still required a knowledgeable lord like Randyll to do, so he explained: "It is like weaving baskets, arranging the residents of the old town in order."

Many people ran away in Old Town, which is normal.

Who didn't run away when the army came?
If Robb, like Tywin, allowed his men to burn, kill, and loot the city, the whole family would be doomed.

But those who stayed behind still had hopes and scruples. On the one hand, they were reluctant to part with their family property, and on the other hand, they hoped that Robb would be a cruel and murderous person.

The first thing Robb had to do was to calm the hearts of these people.

"Gather all these people together, determine their properties according to the contracts they provide, and strictly order soldiers not to harass them. If they violate it, they will have their heads chopped off." "When our policy is spread, people will Many residents of the old town came back and followed this method."

"After one month, no new residents will be accepted back. All residents and properties will be registered, and all unclaimed properties will be owned by the public."

Randyll Tarly didn't understand why Robb did this, but he felt that Robb did make sense and seemed to really help control Oldtown.

Old Town is the city with the highest level of culture and prosperity in the entire continent of Westeros. It has an extremely profound heritage and a solid foundation. Robb plans to build it into the second city after the City of Stars.

Registering households and bringing together the people is only the first step.

"Duke of Metz, the soldiers of High Court are required to strictly guard the city gate recently. They are only allowed in but not out. The ban will be lifted after this work is completed."

The Duke of Metz patted his belly and said there was absolutely no problem.

"It looks like I'm going to stay in Old Town for a while, so I have to ask Bahamut to come over with Little Rose."

It can't just be a three-part agreement, Robb also needs a dragon to deter all those with bad intentions.

King's Landing.

Joffrey and Cersei looked at the corpse on the ground with livid faces, their bodies were shaking, and they couldn't say a word.

It was Tywin's body, which Robb's messengers had just delivered to King's Landing.

"His Majesty Robb means that we all know very well. How you treated Old Duke Eddard at the beginning, you must treat this corpse now. Otherwise, His Majesty will come here in person to urge you to do it."

Cersei made a sharp voice: "Damn it, this is impossible! My son is the real king, and no one can order the real king!

Joffrey was trembling with fear and looked at his mother and uncle helplessly.

James saw the answer in his eyes. If it was really useful according to what Robb said, his son would definitely do it without any hesitation.

He was completely frightened.

Now if that Robb really appeared in front of him, he would probably kneel down and beg for mercy without hesitation, and then burst into tears.

James felt a little tired.

Seeing that the ministers below were talking and seemed to be in despair, the little devil couldn't help but stand up.

"Okay, gentlemen. Don't have any unnecessary illusions now. His Majesty Robb has taken over the entire western part of Westeros. Although our lovely Castle of Casterly Rock has not been breached yet, it is almost there. .

Even the beggar on the roadside knows what His Majesty is thinking!Whether we do this or not, he will call sooner or later.Although I really want to hang this old thing's body to dry, there is no point in doing so. "

He said such outrageous words openly, but no one present was surprised.

The relationship between Tywin and the little devil is something that even the beggars on the roadside know.

Cersei screamed, "You don't need to speak! You dwarf!"

The little devil was used to it and shrugged indifferently: "You are going crazy, my dear sister."

"I am your Queen Mother!"

James' head hurt even more.

Joffrey muttered to himself: "Why, why did he lose? Where did he fight? Where is he now?!"

Cersei didn't answer, and she didn't know. She looked at the Minister of Intelligence, the Octopus Spider.

Varys also felt a little incredible: "That Robb Stark is in Old Town and has no intention of attacking us yet. He is a very ambitious man, and he seems to want to gradually encroach on the entire continent.

After defeating Old Town, he began to reorganize the city. He seemed to want to manage and conquer the city. I guess he would slowly reorganize it after defeating Casterly Rock.

Until... all cities develop according to his ideas. "

Varys' words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Before Robb, most lords would reward their subordinates or brothers after conquering the next castle or territory.

But Robb changed that law.

Whether it was the Iron Islands, the uninhabited Harrenhal, the current Old Town, or the future Casterly Rock, he did not reward any of these large castles.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that all these large city castles are in Robb's hands.

Those small castles were used by him to reward officials.

But because Robb has won too many battles and won too many territories.

Even if those large areas of territory were annexed by Robb, his men would still be able to get a satisfactory share of the spoils.

Everyone is satisfied, only the enemy is losing money.

Cersei breathed a sigh of relief: "So, we still have time to reorganize the soldiers to fight?"

Wallis said with difficulty: "There may not be much time, because our finances and military strength are seriously insufficient. The strength on the opposite side is getting stronger and stronger, and we may need to find allies..."
