Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 77 The banquet of the feudal ministers

Riverrun.

Duke Tully, who has always been bedridden and recuperating, got up early today, dressed, washed and trimmed his hair under the service of his maid.

His body was very weak. Although there was no pain, he just couldn't exert his strength.

Even so, he struggled to get up today.

Because today is a very special day, his grandson is going to hold a grand ceremony.

At this time, Riverrun City was buzzing with people, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.

The castle hall was decorated with flowers, luxurious chandeliers were hung, red velvet carpets covered the entire hall, long tables were filled with barbecue and fine wine, people danced with their partners, and laughter was endless.

Robb, who had returned from Riverrun, was sitting on the throne, holding a glass of wine and chatting with the frowning Sansa.

"Can I come back to the banquet later? There are still many accounts to be settled."

Robb laughed: "It doesn't matter, haven't you already calculated today's expenses? Just take a good rest today."

Sansa snorted: "Now there are things being delivered to Riverrun every day, and there are a lot of things to be sent out. I have a rest today, but I will be exhausted tomorrow!"

The wealth of the Western Realm is far beyond Sansa's imagination. She has seen more supplies and golden dragons in the past few days than she had ever imagined in her life.

The three gold mines occupied by the North are continuously producing gold every day.

In order to speed up the mining process, Robb also sent five thousand prisoners from the Iron Islands.

The three lords who were still looting in the west were not idle. The large army rested and trained according to Robb's order, while the small army went to loot the surrounding villages.

Most of the magnificent decorations in Riverrun were stolen from the Western Region.

Moreover, the garrisoned army needs food and fodder. Every day, carriages come in and go out of Riverrun. Such a huge amount of calculations almost turns Sansa into a 007 worker.

Robb urgently transferred maesters from various castles and asked them to form a calculation department to help Sansa calculate and barely survive.

Robb sighed: "There is still a lack of talent. After we marry Highgarden, we can go to the Academy to recruit some computing talents. Then your pressure will be reduced a lot."

Sansa asked curiously: "Highgarden agrees? Is mother coming back?"

Robb took a sip of wine and said, "Well, they have no reason to disagree. Mother is already on her way back."

The reason why Robb wanted to marry Highgarden was not only because of their rich supplies, but also because of the important resource they had: knowledge.

The Citadel is located in the Reach, where it is the highest leadership body for the maesters from the seven nations of Westeros.

In this era where common people and even nobles may be illiterate, being able to write and do math is considered a rare talent.

And such a huge knowledge resource is what Robb urgently needs.

It is not difficult for Robb to conquer the world. Putting aside those mysterious powers, he can push all the way if he is willing.

But what’s the point of leaving a mess after the fight?

Robb wants an empire where order is in order and people live a prosperous life.

The banquet soon reached its climax, with the music getting faster and faster, people dancing more and more joyfully, and the jesters and clowns performing their unique skills.

When everyone is tired of dancing, they sit back in their seats and enjoy the food.

The atmosphere was just right at this time. Lord Tully, who was sitting next to Robb, stood up. He knocked on the cup in his hand with a smile on his face.

"My lords..."

Lord Tully was the oldest and most senior among everyone present. When he spoke, everyone fell silent and listened to what he had to say.Duke Tully raised the wine glass in his hand tremblingly: "Now that we can all drink wine and enjoy delicious food here with peace of mind, it is the good news that the King of the North has brought to us. Let us raise a toast to the King of the North! "

"Honor the King of the North!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it down.

Duke Tully continued: "However, His Majesty Robb cannot do without the strong support of everyone here, so Your Majesty and I would also like to toast you together."

Lord Tully and Robb stood up, and everyone present also hurriedly stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.

"The North will never be forgotten, and the King of the North will never forget. We all see your achievements. Taking this opportunity, the King of the North will now announce new appointments and rewards. Please listen carefully."

The nobles in the audience instantly became energetic. They knew that it was time for His Majesty Robb to share the cake.

Why do you all work so hard to fight for the King in the North?
Isn’t it now?
After Duke Tully finished speaking, he sat down and looked at his granddaughter with a smile.

Sansa was a little nervous, but she soon calmed down. When she was in King's Landing, she was often verbally insulted by Joffrey in public, but she endured it. Now she is different from before.

Sansa took a deep breath and began her first performance on the political stage: "Everyone! In front of you is the King of the North, the blood wolf who slaughters enemies on the battlefield, the guardian of the riverlands, and the one protected by thunder. , the Healer—Robb Stark."

Sitting on the throne, Robb quietly held his forehead. When did he have so many nicknames? According to the current development of the situation, it is very likely that he will surpass Dragon Mother one day and become the new title king.

Sansa continued: "Today, your Majesty will confer eleven ministers, five nobles, and 20 knights."

There was a sudden sensation in the audience. So many people were canonized at once?
Is this the advantage of a startup team?
"Minister of Intelligence, Sir Blackfish."

"Master Martial, Lady Meggie."

"Minister of Logistics, Ser Edmure."

"Master of Recruitment, Lord Greatjon, Lord Rickard Karstark."

"Master Craftsman, Lord Roose Bolton."

"Foreign Secretary, my mother Lady Catelyn."

"Minister of Propaganda, Lord Jason Mallister."

"Minister of Rebellion, Lord Tytos Blackwood."

"Minister of Military Medicine, Red-robed Monk Thoros."

"The Lord of the Calculators," Sansa said a little embarrassedly, "Sansa Stark."

“In addition, the Hand of the King and Lord of the Admiralty are temporarily vacant and His Majesty will examine appointments at his discretion.”

Robb's ministerial system was completely derived from the ancient book "Six Taoists", and he improved the structure of the army and moved it into reality.

This book was written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when the feudal system was gradually collapsing. It is similar to the current situation.

Because Robb is now completely the king of a military country. The country's finances and the king's authority are all maintained by winning battles.

If there is no war, most people in the country, especially in the north, will starve to death, and Robb's reputation will plummet.

Therefore, Robb did not choose the six-part system that was more complete in his previous life. That would have been a step too far and would easily lead to confusion.

The candidates for the ministers are all nobles who have made outstanding contributions in the previous wars. The Riverlands and the North are almost equally divided. Most people will be dissatisfied with this list, but they will not object.

This is checks and balances.
